Chapter 567: Back to the 33-year-old Pippen

Waiting for the end of the physical examination the next day, Pippen glanced at his physical examination data and looked dull. Is this really his own physical examination data? !
This is really the physical data of the 39-year-old man? !
Pippen felt that his previous years, that is, the physical data at the age of 35, compared with this data are slightly worse.
what happened? I seem to have done nothing special this offseason...
Jordan was not far away, Pippen walked toward Jordan with his physical data.
"Michael, look at my physical data, God, it's really incredible." Pippen looked surprised.
Jordan looked at the data, and was also dumbfounded. He was quite familiar with Pippen, and he knew the situation of Pippen quite well. Such a data is unlikely to appear on Pippen.
"Isn't it wrong?" Jordan asked doubtfully.
Pippen also gave birth to this feeling, and did a physical examination again, but the data did not change much.
"It's almost the same as my physical data when I was 33, God, what the happened!"
"Michael, if I take back the previous words, in my current state, I can take the starting position and even lead the Pirates to the playoffs this season!" Pippen said confidently.
At the age of 33, Pippen, which is the 98-99 season, was his first season with the Rockets. He just got the sixth championship ring with the Bulls following Jordan.
Although it has entered the end of its peak, its strength is still quite good, and its comprehensive strength in offense and defense can be ranked in the top five in the league.
Of course, here is the pure small forward, not including the swingman.
"Starter? Old man, this is Richard's idea. I don't know what he intends now, but since you are in such a good state, I think he has no reason not to give you a starter."
"As for the playoffs, I talked to Richard before. We are preparing for this first season to fight for a reliable point guard in next year's draft." Jordan frowned, facing Pippen said.
"Huh? Michael, you mean, you have to listen to Richard now?"
"No, certainly not." Jordan waved his hand.
"In this matter, I will discuss with Richard later, and I will give you notice."
...
"No!"
"Absolutely not!"
"There is absolutely no room for negotiation!"
Jordan Gang and Richard said that Pippen was going to start, and Richard came directly to refuse three consecutive companies.
Richard had no chance at all to keep Pippen.
Even Moning, Richard was not prepared for him to start, but instead gave Milicic or Valejo a substitute position...
As for Payton, it was because the Pirates really did not have a point guard to use, and there was no way to allow Payton to start the No. 1 position.
Now there are a lot of players on the Pirates' guard line. Even if I don't mention Iguodala or Ariza, Richard would rather let Capono start, instead of letting Pippen touch his starting position.
"Lee, why is that? Is it because of the conflict you made with Scotty?"
"You should know that in his current state, Scotty has the level of the top ten small forwards in the league. If not, it is a pity." Jordan said doubtfully.
"Michael, first of all, Scotty has no trading value at all. He is almost forty years old. Do you expect some players to be willing to trade big chips to trade him?"
"Impossible! No fool team is willing to spend big chips for a 40-year-old veteran. Even if it is just a first-round pick, no one will be willing to come out.
What Richard did not say explicitly was that, not to mention Pippen's toxic attitude, after leaving the Bulls, which team basically went to crash.
Other teams are not aware of this, unless they have players like Jordan in their team who can suppress Pippen, otherwise, who can cure him if Pippen puts on the table.
The team in the reconstruction period will not need the forty-year-old veteran, the team that is aspiring to win the championship, nor will it need this time bomb.
Pippen's strength must be very strong, but the character problem, this has not been washed.
No one is perfect, this sentence is actually right.
Those super giants of vertical and horizontal alliances must have something wrong with them.
For example, Jordan is too domineering, Kobe is too paranoid, James is too hypocritical, Duncan is too dumb...
Well, Duncan couldn't find anything wrong with him.
Recognizing the strength of these players is affirmative, but it cannot be regarded as blind and directly ignoring their shortcomings. If you really want to ignore them, that is typical...
Joke is not nonsense, and change is not nonsense. When Richard wrote basketball novels in his previous life, although he was talking about novels, most of the things were not just clutter, but evidence.
This may sometimes stimulate the hearts of some vulnerable fans...
However, Richard was not ashamed of it. Isn't anyone allowed to say what he has done?
Anyway, two flowers are right...
...
"And, Michael, we have decided on the plan, you don't know, we will be bad this season, and focus on training young players!"
"We are the new army, veterans are not in our team building plan, only those new talents are our hope for the future!"
"Don't mention it again, I can't agree."
Richard's attitude was quite firm. He couldn't make concessions in this matter. Once concessions, he would later taste the sweet Pippen, maybe he could push his nose to his face.
Richard would not leave Pippen with this opportunity to kick his face on his nose.
Maybe this time let him start, next time he can rely on the old and sell the old, to blend in the team's lineup construction, this is Richard Wanwan's intolerable thing.
If that's the case, what does the boss Richard do?
...
Jordan watched Richard's incomparable attitude, and he was a little unhappy.
In his view, although he has agreed with Richard, the team's lineup is fully responsible for Richard, but at least Richard must save himself a face...
Pippen was a little brother who was following him, and now he asked for a starting position. It seemed to Jordan that it was not a big deal.
If he is Richard, I am afraid that this thing will be agreed, anyway, when the team has to lay aside and train new people, when can not be trained...
Jordan is not Richard. He does not have Richard's perseverance in certain aspects. Otherwise, he will not make much achievements in management.
It can be said that in terms of team lineup construction, Jordan can not catch up with Richard.
...
"Li, why don't you think about it..." Jordan couldn't help it.
If you really don't give Pippen a first chance, you will be ugly in front of Pippen...
Now he has some regrets, the promise he made.
That is to let Richard take full responsibility for the team's lineup...
He did not expect that Richard would be so decisive and insist on his own principles.
If I had known this, I might have left myself a little authority, even if it was just a permission to start.
"No, Michael, this is something we agreed upon before. I won't give in. You can let Scotty die." Richard was not prepared to leave Pippen at all. .
Jordan sighed and left Richard's coach's office with a slightly ugly look.
...
"BOSS, ask me to say that you should find the opportunity to take control of the new army by yourself. I feel that there will be similar things in the future." Myers was in Richard's office and heard the conversation between Jordan and Richard. , Said with a smile.
Myers, his position is quite clear, that is Richard himself.
He is Richard's heirloom...
So watching this happen, he involuntarily considered the problem from Richard's perspective.
Richard nodded, not much to say.
Of course I wanted to run the Pirates alone, but the previous conditions were not mature.
The first is that the league is going to find a black man to be the boss. At least at this point, it does not meet the conditions. The second is the funding problem. At that time, it was difficult to directly take out 300 million US dollars in cash.
Unless it is a pot-and-sell iron, the price is too great, and having to sell most of the stocks in your hands will make Richard earn less dollars.
...
"What? That kid really said that?" After Pippen heard Jordan's description, the whole person turned red, apparently somewhat angry.
He felt that this was Richard's humiliation and contempt for Chi Guoguo, and he wanted to find Richard in a flash.
"Scottie, calm down, this is not a bull, don't make excessive moves."
"You're not too old, just be a pensioner on the Pirates..." Jordan sighed.
Pippen dumbfounded, is this still Michael Jordan he knew? !
A few years ago, if such a thing happened, shouldn't he take himself to fight with the other party? Why are you so counseling now? !
It seems that experience will change a person's personality~EbookFREE.me~ This is true.
Jordan has not been very smooth over the years. As a Wizards management, he did not get any results.
After playing the game in person, the Wizards did not get any decent results.
This experience, coupled with the gradual increase in age, made Jordan's acting style a lot more stable.
As Pippen thought, if it was left a few years ago, Richard refused Jordan without hesitation so much, Jordan estimated that he would be on the spot.
"Well, Michael, we may be really old."
"Now is the world of the young people..."
"Hey……"
Pippen sighed, which was quite provocative.
Jordan was certainly not very comfortable after listening to it, but he didn't say much, but just sat with a somber face, not knowing what he was thinking.
...
In the blink of an eye, the less than one month of training ended. Richard was still satisfied with the training effect. Whether it is a player selected by the expansion or a newcomer, the training intensity is great, and the attitude and enthusiasm are also very good.
As for the veteran, the training intensity must not be like the newcomer...
Both Mourning and Payton have little training intensity, but every day's training comes, and try to impart some experience to the newcomers.
Milicic and Valecho, under the guidance of Mourning, at least defensive awareness has improved a lot and learned a lot.
As for Iguodala and Ariza, under Payton's guidance, the outside defense awareness has also improved a lot.
These two newcomers will be defensive players in the future. With the guidance of a top perimeter defender such as Payton, they will definitely be able to enter their peak season faster.
