Chapter 711: Granger's night

On the day before the preseason schedule kicked off, a big thing happened on the eastern side.
There was internal strife within the Pistons, and Iverson had a fierce friction with the team's coach Michael Curry.
After the death of old Davidson, his family sold the Pistons and sold it to Tom Gores.
This boss is actually a good boss, but in the face of the friction between Iverson and communication, he is still on the side of Michael Curry.
Coach Curry is going to put Iverson into the bench, and then go to the playoffs to be normal. As a result, Iverson is naturally impossible to agree.
This is exactly the same reason that Iverson broke with the Pistons under normal circumstances.
Under normal circumstances, Coach Curry was also at the end of the season, preparing to put Iverson into the bench. As a result, Iverson did not agree, the two sides broke up, and finally Iverson did not participate in the playoffs with the team leading to the first round of the Pistons. tour.
And Coach Curry did not end well in the end. This was his first season in the NBA, and it was also the last season...
To say that Coach Curry is selfish, that's not enough. He wants to play a half-court battle with the inner core as the pirates.
The team has the league's first center, this tactic is actually no problem.
Iverson's offensive firepower is pretty good right now, and it's okay to score 20 points, but his biggest problem is that his defense is not good, and the offensive habits he has developed for many years have made him not a good passer.
As a result, Coach Curry is ready to use the original backup point guard Bynum to start, let Iverson lead the Pistons bench lineup to play.
Such an arrangement, in fact, can't really pick out too many problems, which is beneficial to the Pistons as a whole.
But Iverson is obviously difficult to accept this identity change...
The fierce conflict between the two sides finally alarmed the boss Goles. If Iverson is a piston famous, then Goles may be able to endure Iverson.
But now Iverson came to the Pistons halfway, and there is not too much popularity in the Pistons fan market. How could Goers tolerate this unorganized and undisciplined behavior, directly banned Iverson from the team and canceled his follow-up The team's qualifications for the playoffs.
Coach Curry, although Goles did not move him, but he has made up his mind, after this season, immediately fired Michael Curry.
A head coach can't even handle this kind of thing, why does he use it?! The rookie head coach still missed a lot.
Cai is the original sin!
...
Iverson obviously didn't expect that Goers had even acted so decisively.
With his temperament, he would naturally not go to Gores to admit his mistakes. This is so settled. Iverson will miss this year's playoffs.
Richard was shocked when he knew the news.
Although the Pistons announced that Iverson could not play in the playoffs due to injury, Richard had so many disciples in the Pistons, and he naturally knew the inside story.
He wanted to make a phone call to Gores to see if he could help Iverson get back to playoff qualification, but if he thought about it carefully, he was really not fit to show up.
Is Goles wrong? That's right...
In other words, if the players in the team compete with the head coach, they will have to fight. I am afraid they will also be suspended like Goles.
And this is the housework of the Pistons. Richard’s pleading is really unreasonable, and may even be counterproductive.
Iverson also called Richard for the first time, but it was not for Richard to plead with him. His character could not do such a thing.
The main purpose of this call Iverson is to join the Pirates as a free agent next year.
This season is Iverson's contract year. Looking at this situation, the Pistons are definitely not ready to renew Iverson...
But even if the Pistons want to renew Iverson, Iverson will certainly not stay in this sad ground. After playing for so many years, it is the first time a team has let itself play off the bench.
These two years of wandering have also made Iverson tired. He wants to find a final destination. There is no doubt that Richard's pirates are a good choice.
"Coach, you can rest assured that I won't ask for a big contract. The base salary will do." Iverson also knows that it is difficult for him to get an annual salary of 10 million, so he simply asked for a veteran base salary.
"Don't worry, wait until the offseason, and then there will definitely be a team that will give you a quotation. We will give as much as others give, and you can't treat you anyway." Richard said with a smile.
A basic salary is certainly not possible, but a contract that is too large is unrealistic.
Richard remembers that the Grizzlies gave Iverson a contract of 3.5 million US dollars a year, and then he can also give a contract of 3 to 4 million U.S. dollars. Anyway, I can't treat Iverson badly.
There is nothing to say about the contract price, except that Iverson's position is a bit difficult.
This is where Richard has a headache...
Although Rondo will leave the team next season, according to Richard's plan, he is next ready to support Curry.
After Iverson comes, I am afraid I can only play the bench position. I don't know if Iverson will agree.
Fortunately, Iverson didn't mention this matter, and Richard didn't even say it. This matter still waited for the offseason before signing the contract.
...
"Richard!"
"Richard!"
The first game of the Pirates in the playoffs, when Richard played, screamed countless fans on the scene.
The dynasty is right in front of you, and the crazy mood of the fans can be imagined.
The person who brought the Charlotte dynasty was Richard, who slowly entered the hall with a smile on his face.
"God, this is the first time I have seen the popularity of a coach as high as this."
Today TNT sent a special report to talk about the scene, and both Barkley and Kenny Smith came.
Faced with Barkley's exclaim, Smith quipped: "Oh, Sir Charles, you didn't mean to contact Richard before, what happened? Why didn't you move afterwards, I haven't heard of the Pirates going with you Sign up?"
Barkley rolled his eyes. Because of Pippen and Mourning's rejuvenation, he joked that he wanted to play for Richard to win the championship. As a result, Smith was nagging about it.
"Okay, Kenny, close your mouth and watch the game."
"Game? Do you think the 76ers will be the opponents of the Pirates? This kind of massacre will not surprise us."
...
As Kenny Smith said, this kind of slaughtering game can't surprise the fans, but there must be some kind of food abuse pleasure.
Like some of the posters of dish abuse games in the later generations, who obviously have the strength of a master, but they are going to play dish cooking in silver, bronze and iron, they can attract a large number of fans. Play all the thrills.
Obviously, the current Pirates are of the nature of a vegetable abuser. Even if they know that the 76ers have no hope of winning, there are countless fans standing in front of the TV, waiting for the game to start.
"Dear audience friends, today is the opening game of the Pirates playoffs. We specially invited the current head coach of the Guangdong men's basketball team, Zhang Weiping, to guide us as a guest commentator for this game."
"Guidance Zhang, hello." A domestic TV station broadcast the game without any suspense.
Although there is no suspense, both teams have Chinese players, and the Pirates are the most popular team in the league, and they must still be broadcast live.
"Director Zhang, can you tell me, what do you think of this kind of game?" the commentator on the side asked with a smile.
"Oh, my opinion is that the Pirates are a little too strong."
"You should know that Richard and I have had an arduous relationship and have known each other for fifteen years. I know him very well."
"If someone now runs and tells him that Richard is not an earthman, he is an alien, don't you really say it, I can really believe it."
...
"Granger scored a goal, the ball is reasonable!"
"Granger is back in again, yo, this kid feels hot tonight!"
"The 76ers are over. Tonight, a Granger alone can completely blow them out."
Zhang Weiping was passionately explaining, and there was a lot of cheers in the stadium at the moment.
Granger's performance tonight is a bit too powerful.
Maybe his teammates have also guessed Granger is about to leave the team~EbookFREE.me~ So more pass him to fight for him to leave.
Before the first quarter ended, Granger had already scored a score of 17 points. If nothing unexpected, Granger tonight can be said to be the protagonist's night.
All kinds of chic and difficult goals, all kinds of neat high-intensity defense, Granger tonight really interpreted what is called a real small forward.
When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, Granger scored 52 points and scored in the account. It was really like Zhang Weiping said. He beat the Philadelphia 76ers alone.
What is certain is that Granger’s popularity will probably rise to an extremely terrifying point after the World War I tonight.
Richard sits on the sidelines and smiles bitterly. Granger is so strong that he is really reluctant to let go.
But he can't release pigeons with Paul Allen, in that case, the old man is estimated to be enthralled in hospital.
