Chapter 432: Turn down Hu Weidong

Genius remembers the site address for one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads!? The next morning, the Pistons, Suns and Cavaliers teamed up for a trade conference.
The Pistons sent Rodney White to Gerald Wallace and Arenas.
The reporters who attended the press conference were dumbfounded. Does Richard have any special hobby for the player named Wallace...
Previously, the Blazers had a double Wallace lineup, but now they have just come to the Pistons, but the is not hot, and they directly brought in another Wallace.
...
Just after the press conference, Richard immediately took Bob Myers back to Detroit.
Old Curry is still waiting for himself in Detroit...
His contract expired after the end of last season, and as a result the Blazers did not renew their contract with Curry.
Other teams are not interested in Old Curry, mainly in the last two years, Old Curry rarely played in the Blazers.
Under such circumstances, Richard extended an olive branch to Old Curry and invited him to work as a teaching assistant for the Pistons. Old Curry thought twice and finally agreed.
There are still three children in the family to raise. Can I earn a little more?
Since then, Richard's coaching staff has gradually enriched.
A Bob Myers, responsible for Richard to deal with some of the daily tasks accounted for by Richard.
An old Curry, responsible for the shooting training of the players in the team...
The coaching staff is already a model, and then two coaches are invited, it is almost enough.
Jabal definitely wants to invite, and in Richard's view, it is not too difficult to invite Jabal...
Now that Jabal is working as an assistant in the Clippers, if he stretches out his olive branch and pays more, I'm afraid that Jabal will be very interested in joining the Pistons.
After all, Richard is quite legendary.
Jabal doesn't have to have a perfect career, but his coaching career is not outstanding.
Last season he joined the Clippers as an assistant, but he couldn't do it in two years.
Then in 2002, he went to the USBL League to coach the Oklahoma Storms.
This USBL sounds quite tall, in fact it is a summer league league...
It wasn't until 04 that Jabal was truly given the chance to be the head coach and joined the New York Knicks as the head coach of this team.
However, he worked for a season and went to the Lakers as an assistant in the second year.
...
While the new season had not yet begun, Richard immediately called Jabal.
The purpose of this call is naturally to invite Jabal to join the Pistons coaching staff.
What surprised Richard was that Jabal agreed without saying anything...
Without even asking how much the salary was, he directly agreed with Richard to appear in Detroit within half a month.
It's normal to think about it. Richard now has three head coaches under him, and Jabal must be thinking about taking the coach now.
At that time, I will spend two years with Richard here, maybe I can become the leader of the first team like Carlisle.
Jabal, who was born in 1947, is in his fifties. He is definitely not old, and it is just the second spring in the coaching industry.
...
The joining of Jabal is undoubtedly quite delighted to Richard.
Now that Dao has it, and the Jabal people have it, he is waiting for Yao Ming to return...
...
With Jabal joining the coaching staff, Richard does not need to worry about assistants anymore, basically enough.
The next work is nothing more than two, the first is to quickly sell the Stark House team, as well as some other high-paying low-energy players.
The second job is to see if there are any reliable players in the free market, and then gather them into the team to improve the competitiveness of the team.
This year's NBA Draft has a lost draft Nocioni, who can play as a power forward or center.
In other words, Richard may not be interested in Nocioni, but there is no way right now.
The lineup is empty, if Nocioni is brought in, a little training will still play a good role.
Moreover, even if sold in the future, Richard can also bring some chips.
In addition to Nocioni, there are two players who are more attractive to Richard.
One is the birdman Anderson, and the other is Lagabell.
These two are certainly not stars, but they will be a good team jigsaw...
Birdman Anderson, the fans are certainly no strangers. In 1999, he was playing in Jiangsu Nangang. According to Richard’s memory, this year should be back to the United States, just Richard can recruit.
Incomparably tough defense, in Richard's view, playing a four-point bench, quite practical.
As for La Gabell, Kobe fans are estimated to be no stranger. They are still a defensive gate and have been selected for a while.
But what really made him famous was the on-court lock on Kobe...
This is a throat monster.
Both men's defense is quite awesome...
Lagabel is quite accomplished in three points, but the offensive ability in other aspects is not very good. Anderson's offensive level is not as good as Lagabel.
However, if the offensive ability is excellent, it will not be Richard's turn to choose them.
Lagabel spent a period of time with the 76ers last season. He was not watched by Carlisle. He is now a free agent. Richard can easily sign it.
As for the birdman Anderson, it takes a lot of effort, because Richard Deguang knew that the goods had left from Jiangsu Nangang, but he did not know where they went after returning to the United States.
However, there is also a way to find Anderson, just contact Jiangsu Nangang. They must have Anderson contact information on hand.
...
Recruiting Lagabell, Richard dumped it directly to Bob Myers.
This simple work, Richard certainly does not need to intervene, Miles can easily complete this work...
If even this extremely simple job cannot be completed, then Miles has little value.
Richard, however, found Dazhi and asked him to find the contact information of Jiangsu Nangang.
"Coach, my God, did you finally get his idea?"
"I'm so excited, I have to say that the coach's vision is really invincible!"
As soon as he heard that Richard wanted Jiangsu Nangang's contact information, Da Zhi immediately opened the talk and took Richard with a compliment.
The boasted Richard is baffling...
How can it be invincible, I just want Nangang's contact information, and then inquire about Anderson's whereabouts.
"Why? Dazhi, what are you talking about?" Richard said without asking.
"Coach? Didn't you want to recruit Hu Weidong to play in the league?"
"You are really looking for the right person. Now that the back of the Pistons is empty, I think Brother Hu will definitely be useful!"
"Hu Ge's strength, I really don't have to say that before the Olympics, I played with him, and I'm afraid that it's not worse than some NBA players!" Da Zhi said like a continuum to Li Chad.
Richard was stunned for a moment before he realized what Dazhi was saying.
Dare to think that he wanted to contact Jiangsu Nangang to recruit Hu Weidong? !
Well, it's no wonder that Dazhi misunderstood. If it was replaced by Richard, it would be misunderstood.
Because Hu Weidong is the star of Jiangsu Nangang, in the opinion of Dazhi, Richard had no reason to contact Nangang for the purpose of recruiting Hu Weidong!
Moreover, Hu Weidong and the NBA are not fate.
In 1998, the Mavericks' Nielsen sent Hu Weidong an invitation for a ten-day short contract, but at that time Hu Weidong's knee was injured and he did not make a trip.
Then in 2000, the Magic gave Hu Weidong another short contract. This time, Hu Weidong suffered a foot injury and missed the opportunity to enter the NBA.
It’s 2001, and it’s no wonder that Da Zhi misunderstood Richard. He thought that Richard wanted to recruit Hu Weidong to play in the Pistons.
After all, the Pistons now have no hair on the team...
The only Starkhouse was also put on the shelf by Richard, and Richard's idea of ​​playing domestic players was normal.
...
Richard was dumbfounded, as if Da Zhi said this, it was not impossible.
Hu Weidong has a considerable reputation in the history of Chinese basketball, after all, nicknamed China Jordan.
The CBA backcourt players that emerged in later generations, in terms of strength, are not Richard who can't look down on them, is really not as good as Hu Weidong.
Perhaps Hu Weidong is the strongest guard in the entire CBA history.
As for Liu Yudong, although he is the same height as Hu Weidong, the official position is not a defender, but a power forward...
It is not impossible to recruit such a strongest guard in Chinese history.
Richard calculated himself secretly.
When recruiting Hu Weidong, the difficulty should not be too big. Hu Weidong is now 31 years old. This is already a veteran in the CBA. Nangang looks at Hu Weidong’s work for him for so many years. .
After all, Hu Weidong has been sick and wounded for the past two years.
In the 99-00 season, Lao Hu averaged 30 points, 6.5 assists and 4.5 steals per game in the CBA. By 00-01, it basically shrank by half...
Richard thought about it and thought it was feasible.
Of course, even if Hu Weidong is really attracted, Hu Weidong's current age is unlikely to become the core of the Pistons' backcourt.
One is that they are really old, and the other is that they are certainly not as good as NBA stars.
Richard has never been short of stars, especially in the backcourt...
Under such circumstances, Hu Weidong is naturally impossible to become the core of the backcourt.
The nature may be more similar to that of old Curry who joined the Trail Blazers in the first two years. He mainly played on the bench. In the next few years, he was responsible for training new players and instilling some of their game experience.
Moreover, the Pistons lineup is quite empty at the moment, not to mention the three people in the draft, and they are preparing to get the three of Nocioni, Anderson and Lagaber, but their manpower is still quite insufficient.
In the original Pistons lineup, except for those two newcomers with some value, other players Richard prepared no one.
Anyway, Richard had to gather at least thirteen players.
To whom is this contract given? Can't Hu Weidong be given an NBA guarantee contract? !
Can give!
There is no reason not to...
Richard didn't expect this call, but he could still have such a harvest. His goal was to find Anderson. In addition to Anderson, Hu Weidong was found.
"Well, Da Zhi, you see it, or you let your dad go and ask, they are in a circle after all, so they can talk."
"Ask if Hu Weidong has any idea of ​​joining the NBA..."
Richard said to Zhi Zhi with a smile.
"This is no need to ask. I talked with Hu Ge before. He has ideas in this regard, but mainly because of the ten-day short contract that Mavericks and Magic have signed him, he doesn't want to go!"
"Even if he wasn't hurt, he was too lazy to go, ten days short contract, isn't that a slapstick..."
"Coach, can you Pistons provide a guarantee contract? If there is a guarantee contract, Hu Ge will probably go. After all, who doesn't want to come to the NBA!"
Da Zhi asked in distress.
"Relax, Dazhi, the guarantee contract I have definitely given, the four-year period, the specific amount, I have to consider it, but it will definitely not be too low!"
Upon hearing this, Da Zhi continued to replace Hu Weidong, thanking Richard, and immediately hung up the phone. It seemed that he was going to contact Hu Weidong.
In the last Sydney Olympics, he had a very good relationship with Hu Weidong.
Now that his brother is going to be coached by Richard, Da Zhi is naturally very excited.
...
Richard also felt a little happy in his heart, not to say that Hu Weidong's joining the Pistons would bring much strength improvement.
Instead, he was born in Jiangsu in his previous life, and naturally grew up listening to the myth of Hu Weidong.
Even if there are some exaggerated places in it, this does not hinder Richard’s worship of Hu Weidong.
China Jordan, just this name, is enough to illustrate Hu Weidong's strength.
Moreover, even if the injury is really invaded by the time, you can’t play, don’t forget who Richard is.
He is the host of system binding, which makes Hu Weidong rejuvenated. This is not difficult.
You know that Hu Weidong is not really old at the moment, that is, 31 years old. If he is put in the NBA, he is actually still in his fight year!
Even two years younger than Richard...
...
In the afternoon, Richard received an international call. I don't have to think about it. It must have been from Hu Weidong.
"Brother Li, haha, I heard Da Zhi say, I am really grateful!" Hu Weidong is a typical northern Jiangsu man, very bold, called on the phone without turning around.
This brother Li made Richard feel quite embarrassed.
Good fellow, he has become Hu Weidong's eldest brother, Hu Weidong has become his little brother, really violates.
"Cough, Lao Mei's name is not in favor here, you just call my name, no, you have to call the coach in the future." Richard said with a smile.
"Well, I just thought about it. I gave a four-year, eight-million-dollar contract on behalf of the team. In addition, if Nangang has to buy out the fee, we can make a few hundred thousand here. If it is not enough, you can only pay for it yourself!"
Richard informed Hu Weidong of the contract price he prepared.
There is no need for negotiations between the two parties...
Eight million dollars in four years, an average of two million dollars a year. Speaking of which, Hu Weidong is definitely a bit more contracted. If it is replaced by other teams, it will definitely not be given such a contract, or even four. Contract worker for ten years.
Didn’t look at the Mavericks and magic, only gave ten days short contract...
But in Richard's view, this contract is not high. Is it a high two million dollars a year? !
Moreover, now the Pistons must actually spend more money outside, because after sending away many high-paying and low-energy players in the team, the Pistons' salary will trigger the poor line.
There is no top salary in the Pistons itself, the highest is Starkhouse’s five million dollars, and now the Starkhouse is sent away, and there are several players with an annual salary of 3-4 million. , Certainly to trigger the poor line.
The salaries of the teams are not enough, they have to pay luxury tax.
If it is less, it will not work either. It will trigger the poor line. The team must take the difference from the poor line and distribute it to the players on the team...
What makes Richard most embarrassing right now is that it looks like their pistons are still not far away from the poor line.
The standard of the poor line is 90% of the salary cap!
The salary cap for the next season is about 42 million US dollars.
In other words, the poor line is 38 million US dollars. Below this number, the team will have to use the money to make up the difference and give the players an average score.
And now if the Pistons cut off those three million annual salary players, let alone 38 million, they can't even make up 20 million...
So now Hu Weidong is given a contract with a salary of 2 million yuan. In Richard's view, it is actually less. It is more appropriate to sign a four or five million to fill the poor line.
But Richard also knows that if he really spent five million dollars to sign Hu Weidong, then it would be a trouble~EbookFREE.me~It is estimated that it will be sprayed to death...
...
"By the way, Wei Dong, you Nangang had a foreign aid before, named Chris Anderson, did you know?" Richard thought of Anderson.
"I know, that kid, I just returned to China a few days ago. I have his contact information. It's my little brother. It also gives me time to go to the United States to find him..."
"Okay, then you have come to the U.S. to report recently. Bring the kid along the way. I also prepared a guarantee contract for him here!"
...
Several things were resolved, and it was quite smooth, which made Richard full of confidence in the future of the Pistons!
Three days later, Myers appeared in Richard's office with La Gabel.
Looking at the skinny baby-faced boy in front of him, Richard could not be connected with the lock-throat monster anyway.
"Too thin. Train well this offseason to fight for muscle gain and confrontation!"
"My Richard's team, don't want a paper defender, I will be knocked down when I hit it!"
Richard frowned and ordered.
"Yes, coach! I will work hard this offseason!" Rajabel looked excited.
He never dreamed that this good luck actually fell on his head!
What a joke, this is Richard!
God's presence in the coaching community, he actually fancy himself? !
Seeing that Richard is not very satisfied with his body, Lagarber immediately patted his chest to ensure that this offseason will be a good training!
Richard nodded and said to Bowers, "Go ahead and sign the contract..."
"Ten million dollars for four years, Bell, do you have any comments?"
Rajabell was forced for a moment, any comments? ! He is too opinionated, is this contract too much...
