At the end of January, it should be a point in time that NBA fans are more concerned about.

This is mainly because the NBA All-Star lineup, as well as the entry list for some miscellaneous games, will be announced in late January.

And the most talked about by fans at the moment is that in addition to the All-Star starting lineup in the East and West, there is also the rookie challenge lineup......

Since playing 94, the NBA Board of Management organized the Rookie Challenge, an all-star event, for the first time that fans have discussed the rookie game so hotly.

The first rookie game in '94 was played in a very simple way, similar to the Golden Arches All-Star Game, where the 16 best performers were selected from among the rookie players and divided into two groups, the talent team and the passion team......

I have to say that the NBA's ability to choose a name is a bit embarrassing.

In the second session, I may feel that the name is not good, so I simply changed it to the white team and the green team, but the game mode has not changed.

It wasn't until last season's Rookie Challenge that a new format was introduced.

The rookies are teamed up according to their leagues, which are the two teams in the Eastern and Western Leagues......

This format was maintained until 2000, when the first-grade versus second-grade format was changed.

It's 1997, so it's natural to follow the schedule of the East-West League team......

It's not the rookie game format that fans are talking about, it's the list of players who will participate!

The eastern lineup is eight newcomers including Iverson, Ray Allen, Fattoutuo, Camby, and second center Dampier.

The Western roster is Raheem, Kobe, Big Ben, O'Neal Jr., Marbury, Brad Miller, Nash, and Kidders.

All three rookies selected by Richard in this year's draft were selected for the Rookie Challenge, and Kobe Bryant also got the opportunity to participate in the slam dunk contest.

In addition, the leaders of the East and West Rookie Challenge are all Richard's disciples!

In the west, Richard's disciples directly occupy more than half of the 8 places!

On the eastern side, although Iverson is the only one......

But Iverson is amazing, he was successfully selected into the All-Star team, although it is only a substitute, but for a rookie, it is also a rather dazzling honor!

"Richard is really horrible......"

"Even if he's a madman, with his invincible selection eye, I'm sure he'll be the most important head coach in the league!"

"Terrible! It's terrible! When all the boilermen and their sub-players enter the league in the future, will it be up to Richard to say anything in this league......

Fans are buzzing about it, and this rookie challenge has made Richard's reputation even greater.

In May last year, it was almost the time when Richard really entered the NBA, and now it is the end of January, which means that Richard has entered the league for less than a year......

But in the course of a year, look at how many things Richard has done.

It's not too much to say he's the most famous head coach in the NBA this season......

Every few days, just when fans are about to ignore the Trail Blazers, Richard makes big news.

Just joined the Trailblazers, all kinds of transactions, almost all the Trailblazers were demolished.

In the draft, he won two high school players in a row......

In the opening game of the preseason, the "instructed" players to beat the madman Sprewell......

In the tearing up with Larry Brown, the Pacers lost quite miserably, not only was Larry Brown fired, but the Pacers also looked like they were about to start rotting......

O'Neal, who cut the shark, was in pain, and even let O'Neill see Richard off the field after letting go, and he would definitely ......

Stay away from him......

Beat the bulls, let his stunned young high school student Kobe Bryant, shoot crazy fifty times!

Coupled with this upcoming rookie challenge, Richard's disciples occupy almost half of the country......

No matter what it is, it is enough to make fans stunned.

If Richard's ability to lead the team is not good, then the fans will probably spray Richard to death, doing such nonsense every day, do you think the NBA is a playground?!

But the key is that the current record of the Trail Blazers is quite good, at least for a team composed of newcomers, this record is already relatively dazzling.

Even if you want to spray Richard, you can't find any reason at all......

……

Now that the Trail Blazers have basically stabilized, the next step is for these rookie players to grow step by step.

Richard's existence can naturally accelerate their growth, but it definitely requires a certain process, and this kind of thing can't be rushed......

After everything settled down, Richard also had time to breathe.

And now it's the end of January '97, and last year's taxes are about to start to file taxes, this kind of thing Richard is troublesome, and second, he doesn't understand the doors......

I simply asked Stevens to introduce me to a trustworthy person to handle these things.

Stevens himself studied economics in college, and he must have met many good people in this field......

Eventually, Stevens introduced a senior who was currently interning on Wall Street named Golden Dragon.

This is an Asian American, whether he is of Chinese descent or of descent from other Asian countries, Stevens is not very clear.

And Richard just heard this name, and felt that he should be Chinese, but he couldn't say for sure, there are still many countries in Southeast Asia with the surname Huang......

At present, the financial crisis in the United States has not yet come, and the opportunity to get an internship on Wall Street is definitely the dream of college graduates......

It's definitely the pride of the sky.

Such a high-level person came to help him file taxes, and Richard was naturally very relieved......

On the last weekend of January, Richard met the Golden Dragon.

He is not tall, about five centimeters shorter than Richard, and he wears the formal clothes necessary for financial people, and he does not look very old.

The small back is meticulously cared for, and the waist is straight, and at first glance he is the kind of person who is capable.

"Coach Li, I'm sorry I didn't come over earlier, I really can't pull away from the company......"

"It's an honor to meet you!"

To Richard's surprise, the young man opened his mouth to speak standard Mandarin, which was undoubtedly Chinese.

"It's okay, it's not a rush anyway, I'm grateful that you can take the time to come over on the weekend!"

Richard couldn't help but have a good impression of the golden dragon.

……

After informing Golden Dragon of his financial situation, the $40 million deposit in Richard's account really surprised Golden Dragon.

He worked as a trainee fund manager on Wall Street, and he still saw a lot of rich people, but it is really rare for a rich man like Richard to be so young and work alone......

"Coach Li, let's first classify this part of the money, which ones have been taxed and which ones have not been taxed, you should know this, right?" The golden dragon asked.

Richard nodded, he naturally knew this, even if he didn't know, it would be clear to call and ask Times Company.
