Obviously, it is impossible to saw legs, and the probability of more than 10 percent mentioned by Richard and Paul Allen is actually higher.

"Only ten percent?" Paul Allen frowned, a little incredulous.

In this year's NCAA National Championships, Oden's performance was against the sky.

In the semi-finals, Oden's Ohio State University met the University of Florida, and Oden was alone against the combination of Horford and Noah, and even had the upper hand, coupled with Conley's excellent performance, they eliminated the University of Florida in the semi-finals.

Then in the finals, although Oden failed to kill Purdue in the end, he got 28 points, 17 rebounds and 5 blocks in the finals, which is also against the sky.

Such a super big man, full of talent, but in Richard's mouth, the chance of becoming a talent is less than 10%!

Paul Allen understood what Richard meant.

"Lee, you mean, if Auden is in your hands, the chances of success will be very high?"

"That's right, it's going to be high, and I have a ninety percent chance of making Auden a talent." There was no need for Richard to hide it from Paul Allen.

These words directly made Paul Allen a little helpless, he was quite fond of Oden, not only him, but the entire Trail Blazers, from management to the coaching staff, and then to the fans, all of them were looking forward to Oden joining.

But now that Richard said that Oden joins the Trail Blazers, there is a high probability that he will not be able to play, which makes Paul Allen a little overwhelmed.

"Lee, what do you think we should do now? Should you choose Oden? ”

"Choose Durant, he will be the most offensive small forward in the entire NBA history, there is no one, give him two years, plus the current roster of the Trail Blazers, you will be back to the top." Richard made his own proposal.

"Just that skinny hemp pole? Is he so strong? Paul Allen was stunned......

In the previous NCAA Finals, he personally went to the scene to watch the game, and naturally had an impression of Durant, the MOP.

But there is an impression and there is an impression, and he doesn't think Durant's future achievements can be higher than Oden's.

The dynasty created by the Trail Blazers before was created with the interior as the core, and it can be said that the Trail Blazers now have an incomparable desire for super centers in their bones.

Even if Durant got the MOP, even if his performance was outstanding, the Trail Blazers still didn't consider Durant after getting the top pick.

"That's right, this kid is very useful, and you can think of him as the more athletic Larry Bird ......" Richard said with a smile.

"As for Oden, leave it to me, if you are not satisfied with Durant at that time, you can always exchange Oden with me."

Richard is actually talking casually, how could Paul Allen be dissatisfied with Durant, the most offensive small forward in history, is not only strong in offensive ability.

Strong offensively, strong defensively, compatible with any tactical system, Richard really can't think of a team that would be unhappy with a player like Durant.

On his side, he was already quite interested in Oden, and he took this opportunity to let the Trail Blazers choose Durant first, and then choose Oden with the list of eyes.

"Then let's do it, let's take Durant, Oden to you, if Durant is not good at that time, I can find trouble with your kid." Paul Allen said with a smile.

Looking for trouble will definitely not be looking for trouble, after all, they are all a family now, and Paul Allen's estate will definitely be passed on to Tiana in the future.

After finalizing the draft plan with Paul Allen, Richard breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not bad, I got my favorite Oden.

Durant is very good, but it may be because Richard knows Durant too well, so he has no sense of expectation for Durant, but is quite interested in Auden and full of expectation.

……

In the evening, Richard was about to go home when the phone rang again.

Richard sighed, this call was from the domestic basketball management center, if nothing else, he must be looking for something to do with himself.

Sure enough, the basketball center is ready to let Richard take over the position of head coach of the men's basketball team at the 08 Olympic Games.

The 08 Olympic Games are amazing, it is held in Beijing, and the basketball management center naturally attaches great importance to the game at its own doorstep, hoping that Richard can continue to coach the Chinese men's basketball team and strive to continue to win the Olympic men's basketball gold medal.

Richard didn't even think about it, and directly refused......

It's not that Richard doesn't want the men's basketball team to do well in the Beijing Olympics, but the basketball manager's request is too scary.

Is it so easy to get a gold medal?

In the last Athens Olympics, the men's basketball team belonged to the dream team that had great luck and met a weak chicken.

The key is that they didn't play against the Dream Team, and Argentina helped them solve the Dream Team.

In the next Beijing Olympics, the dream team is not so weak, almost all the first-line stars of the league have enthusiastically signed up for this Olympic Games, and the strength of this dream team will become extremely terrifying.

Even if Richard personally led the team, he would never win the gold medal.

If Richard really leads the team, it will inevitably give rise to illusions and hopes among domestic fans, and the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Maybe you'll get into a commotion when the time comes......

However, although Richard refused the position of head coach, he still promised to help the men's basketball team train before the Olympics to improve the strength of the men's basketball team, so that he can feel more at ease.

I still have a lot of All-Star lights on hand, and I can use them for the men's basketball team when the time comes, so that they can get a medal.

……

After talking about the Olympics, the basketball management center begged Richard to use the draft picks in his hand as much as possible in this draft to select Yi Jianlian......

The purpose of the basketball management center must be to let Richard train Yi Jianlian well, and strive to make Yi Jianlian the second Yao Ming.

But Richard refused again......

This request from the basketball center Richard felt that he couldn't do it, the second Yao Ming? This is simply not possible.

However, Richard also informed the other party that he would try his best to win Sun Yue in this year's draft.

The basketball center made two requests this time, but Richard didn't agree, but they were helpless, begging Richard to do something, if Richard didn't agree, they were completely helpless.

Fortunately, Richard agreed to train the men's basketball team and won Sun Yue as much as possible in the draft, which kept the basketball team from returning empty-handed.

……

On May 20, the semi-finals of the East and West have all ended.

On the eastern side, the Piccaneers and Pistons will meet in the East.

On the western side, the Lakers and Spurs will meet in the West.

The powerhouse Suns were brutally eliminated by the Spurs in the Western Conference semifinals, which may be why the Suns brought in O'Neal next season.

They thought they could use O'Neal to counter Duncan, but it turned out that the idea was only on paper.

The Lakers encountered the Jazz in the Western Conference semifinals, but the Jazz were still quite tough, fighting the Lakers in six games before finally losing.

The semi-finals on the western side were relatively intense, and the winners and losers were not decided until the sixth game.

The East side is a complete hammer situation, with the Pirates sweeping the Raptors and the Pistons sweeping the Cavaliers to advance.
