Chapter 702: Like Popovich

Inside Richard's office.
Lawrence Frank sat tangled in front of Richard.
"Lee, the Nets asked me to go back to coach..."
As Yi Jianlian began to rise during this time, the Nets management also rose from their ambitions.
The head coach they hired was completely for the purpose. Now they need a capable head coach to lead the rise of the Nets.
Frank re-entered their vision. Frank himself started from the Nets, and his best result was to lead the team into the final.
However, because of Richard's reasons and the increasing number of strong teams in the East, the Nets have gradually lost their competitiveness. Frank was fired by the Nets management.
Now the Nets are ready to hire Frank again...
Richard nodded, "Go, man, just do the handover with Rahim."
Frank is naturally reluctant to leave his coaching staff, but it is a good thing for Frank to return to the position of head coach. Richard will not discourage him.
"Thank you, Lee, and thank you for taking care of this time." Frank said to Richard sincerely.
He is very grateful for Richard to help himself in a critical moment, so that he can continue to stay in the NBA.
If it weren’t for Richard, he has been in the NBA for several years now, and even if the Nets are to change coaches, I’m afraid they won’t consider themselves.
"Don't make such a difference, you helped me, this is what I should do." Richard said with a smile.
Frank had previously given Richard a qualification to lead the All-Star team. Richard had always kept in mind.
...
After Frank left, Richard sighed, and after Frank left, his coaching staff now had only two people left.
One is Old Curry, and the other is Rahim who just joined this year.
Myers is going to the Warriors, Dave Cowens retired, and farewell to the coaching industry...
Cowens originally stayed at Richard's coaching staff, but he was actually thinking of finding a chance to reappoint as head coach, but he never waited for this opportunity. With his old age, he simply retired.
Now that Frank is gone, Richard has only two assistants left.
In desperation, Richard can only let the old Curry release the news, the Pirates are ready to recruit two or three assistants.
...
A few days later, Richard received a lot of resumes, including some well-known coaches who have been head coaches.
The mobility of NBA coaches is too great. Many coaches who have held the position of head coaches are actually capable, but they have bad luck and do not last long as head coaches.
In this list, Richard saw a fairly familiar name, Tom Thibodeau.
At present, Thibodeau is completely unknown. He has to wait until 10 years to get the opportunity to become the Bulls' head coach. Now that the Pirates are recruiting assistants, he feels that it is a good opportunity to apply directly.
Richard received it without saying anything. Although Thibodeau had many black spots on his body, the defensive system he built was still quite good. After recruitment, he could play some role.
In addition, Mark-Jackson is also awesome in this list.
The appearance of Mark Jackson also made Richard very happy. The head coach before the Warriors Dynasty laid a solid foundation for the Warriors Dynasty.
In addition, Mark Jackson also has a stunt, with 10,000+ assists in his career. He is ranked third in the current player assists list. At present, only three players in the league have reached 10,000+ assists, respectively. Stockton, Kidd and Mark Jackson.
In addition to his excellent assist ability, Mark Jackson's big back singles led to the introduction of Buckley's Law.
This is definitely a baby pimple in the coaching community, and Richard naturally accepted it without hesitation.
In the end, Richard took Lambier into his coaching staff...
Lambier was fired by the Bulls before and went to the WNBA for a while. Although the results of the team were good, he still wanted to return to the NBA.
Now that the Pirates are recruiting assistants, he is back...
After these three teaching assistants entered the group, Richard was relieved, and the five teaching assistants were almost enough.
...
Now Richard, the player is definitely the world of peach and li. There are countless disciples in the entire league. Basically, every team has Syracuse players.
However, among the coaching staff, Richard's disciples are not many.
Right now the league is considered Richard's head coach, Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle is one.
Clippers head coach Steven IV is also one.
Lawrence Frank, who is about to return to the Nets, is also one.
Other than that, it is gone. Although some of the head coaches have a good relationship with Richard, most of them are veteran head coaches, and they cannot be considered as head coaches of the Richard department.
Richard also wants to be like Popovich. In the future, the head coaches of one-third of the strongest teams in the league will be his disciples, which is a remarkable achievement.
So now Richard tries to dig up some rising coaches to his coaching team as much as possible, and may later be like Popovich.
...
In the blink of an eye, time came to mid-January.
The results of the All-Star vote were released. The Pirates had five selected All-Stars this year, including Oden, Milicic, Granger, Roy and Rondo.
Now this season, Oden's statistics are undoubtedly quite powerful, averaging 20.6 points, 13.2 rebounds and 2.9 blocks per game. In addition to scoring less points, he seems to be a super center.
But this score is actually not small, after all, Howard's average score is probably at this level.
If you really want to say that the scoring center is a big one, it is definitely Yao Ming. This season, Yao Ming has 26.5 points in the field. Although rebounds and blocks are less than Howard and Oden, he is now the league's recognized first center.
But Oden is so young right now. In the eyes of the Pirates fans, Oden can catch up with Yao Ming sooner or later and take the position of the league's first center.
At present, Oden, even if it is not the first center of the league, it is also the top three in the league.
Milicic has less data this season. At present, there are only 17 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists per game. It is not that Milicic has declined in strength, but that he has actively sacrificed some of his data for the growth of his teammates.
Today's pirates, Milicic is definitely the eldest brother, except for Marion who just joined the team this year, the oldest player is Granger who entered the league in 2005.
Milicic entered the league in 2003. This season is already the sixth season of his career. It is not too much to say that he is a veteran.
Milicic is not the kind of player who likes to express his feelings, he is more inclined to use action.
Silently, Milicic helped his teammates a lot on the court.
The most direct beneficiary is probably Granger.
Granger's stats have improved a lot this season. For the first time in his career, he has scored more than 20 points per game.
20.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.1 blocks of data, it is completely offense and defense.
Good stats, a strong team record, coupled with Granger's clean and elegant style and defense, made him a very popular player in the East.
Last season, he and Nike signed an 8-year 60 million US dollar contract, which is considered to be at the peak of life.
And Roy's scoring this season is not as strong as last season, but now the average score of 27.9 points per game is also ranked in the top five in the league and is the top attacker in the league.
Starting point guard Rondo, averaging 10.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, 12.3 assists, 2.3 steals and 0.9 blocks per game. Although he failed to become an All-Star starting guard, he also got a backup point guard position.
Rondo's scoring ability is a big problem that is difficult to solve. Although Richard has a way to solve it, it has to pay a huge price...
Moreover, Rondo doesn't need to rely on scoring to eat, with top-level organizational skills and top-level defense, he can get a good position anywhere.
Under normal circumstances, Rondo’s various kinds of thorns, various kinds of disobedience, and replacement with other players, I am afraid that they will not be mixed in the league for a long time. Can be found.
...
All five starters were selected as All-Stars, making Richard very pleased.
The bench for the Pirates is actually talented.
Marion is now in the team, the main substitute, the data is definitely not as good as when he was in the sun, but Marion can accept it now, after all, the probability of the Pirates winning this year is scary.
After winning the championship this year, his contract will expire, and then leave or leave, all in his own mind.
Richard's introduction of Marion is actually an insurance for the team's small forward position. If Granger is injured in the playoffs, the young Batum will certainly not be able to withstand Granger's role, but Marion can.
And after the end of this season, Granger's rookie contract will expire, waiting for him will be a maximum salary contract, the Pirates will certainly not be able to come out.
Richard is about to leave Roy with a contract with a maximum salary. Granger will leave the team after this season. If Marion's asking price is not high, Richard is ready to sign Marion.
The small forward draft year, we have to wait until 2010, Richard must maintain the continuous layer of the small forward position~EbookFREE.me~Curry scored an average of 13.2 points right now, Le old Curry every day Mouthless.
It stands to reason that in a substitute position in Curry, it is unlikely to get such a high average score. After all, the total score of the team's five starters adds up to 90 points.
The reason for the high average score of Curry is very simple, that is, Rondo was turned off, Curry all started, and received a lot of mobile phone meetings, the average score was brushed up.
This season, Richard has done quite a bit in terms of rotation. Milicic has been rotated many times, giving the rookie a chance to perform, which has caused the Pirates' bench data to be more dazzling.
Of course, there are exceptions. For example, the team’s third backup point guard Dragic and the data of Sun Yue and Ingram are not very good. This is also a matter of no way. Richard can’t do everything. To take care of everyone.
He can only allow each player on the team to play beautiful figures if conditions permit.
