Speaking of which, Richard wants Philip Sr. to enter the Hall of Fame, but in fact, he doesn't just want Philip Sr. to have an account for his coaching career.

He actually had the idea of getting Larry Brown in the first place.

Larry Brown was also nominated this year, but that doesn't mean he will be selected.

Richard pondered that his own momentum, coupled with Philip Sr.'s more glamorous resume than Larry Brown, was likely to squeeze out Larry Brown.

After squeezing out this time, it will be countless times more difficult for this old guy to enter the Hall of Fame in the future.

On December 24, the Hall of Fame officially gave out the list of nominees for this year.

To Richard's speechlessness, there were only two nominees, one was Philip Sr. and the other was Larry Brown.

It's normal to think about it, and the qualifications for Hall of Fame coach selection are quite strict.

In the past, there were often no coaches selected for the annual Hall of Fame.

In the more than 50 years since the Hall of Fame was created, only ten coaches have been inducted into the Hall of Fame.

As soon as the list of nominees here came out, Richard immediately asked Philip Sr. to hold a private press conference.

The purpose of this press conference is, of course, to build momentum, to be precise, to pave the way for Richard's press conference.

Philip Sr. was completely speechless by Richard's emotion, and he would not have even thought about it if it hadn't been for Richard's encouragement to run for the Hall of Fame.

His coaching career is actually quite mediocre, not counting the three consecutive championships, compared to Larry Brown.

Not to mention that it can't be compared with Larry Brown, and most of the coaches in the NCAA league can't be compared, after all, it's a bit sad that he hasn't been a head coach after a lifetime of coaching.

Basically, it can be said that the elder Philip is a relatively low-level existence in the coaching community.

But now with the three consecutive championships, the elder Philip has completely taken off, at least in terms of honors, he has become the top existence in the NCAA league.

What does Larry Brown have on hand? Now there are two NCAA championships, one less than Philip Sr.

……

At the press conference, the elder Philip said how difficult it was for him to win the three consecutive championships and how many hardships he encountered.

Anyway, it's not easy to tell yourself......

As soon as the press conference over there ended, Richard immediately held a press conference to continue to build momentum for old Philip.

"Although I am not qualified to be nominated for the Hall of Fame at the moment, I still have some understanding of the rules of the Hall of Fame, don't I just look at the honor at hand?"

Richard said with a smile at the press conference.

The reporters in the audience can figure out what Richard is going to do now with their butts......

"Philip Sr. is my old buddy, he led Purdue to three consecutive championships, how many head coaches in the entire history of the NCAA can play three consecutive championships? It seems that there is only one old K coach! ”

"If you can't get into the Hall of Fame, I doubt the fairness of the Hall of Fame."

"I'm not just going to doubt it, I'm afraid all basketball practitioners will doubt the fairness of the Hall of Fame!"

Richard had a harmless smile on his face.

"With the two of us nominated this year, I hope the Hall of Fame jury will be fair."

"Larry Brown doesn't seem to me to be qualified, because he really doesn't have any accolades to take."

"I suppose I, Richard, am qualified to say such things?"

"I, Richard, have two consecutive NCAA championships, three NBA championships, two consecutive COYs, and have won all seasons, and I want to comment on a little Larry Brown with my qualifications, which should be qualified."

The reporters in the audience were speechless, good guys, Richard's list of his personal honors is really amazing.

It has only been less than nine years, and Richard has won such a terrifying honor.

Among these honors, any one is an honor that is difficult for others to achieve, and any one can beat Larry Brown.

In this way, Richard seems to be really qualified to comment on Larry Brown.

"Anyway, let's take a good look, I believe in the impartiality of the Hall of Fame jury." Richard finally smiled again.

The next day, the whole league was completely lively.

The players who came out of Purdue University held private press conferences to build momentum for Philip Sr.

Iverson and Big Ben, the big brothers of Purdue, supported Philip Sr., and Larry Brown was caught again at the press conference.

Pierce and the others also expressed their support, they were quite affectionate towards old Philip, and this gentle old man was quite good to them.

During his time in the NCAA, Philip Sr. took good care of them, and now that he is running for the Hall of Fame, many disciples naturally have to support it.

In addition, even those West Lafayette players that Richard has gathered in the NBA have stepped up at this moment.

How could they not know the feud between Richard and Larry Brown, led by a few big brothers, all of them stood up in solidarity with old Philip.

The big or second leaders of nearly 20 teams in the league have spoken out, which directly boiled the basketball circle.

Considering that there are only 29 teams in the entire NBA league, and now there are nearly 20 teams in the head, fans are simply shocked.

It's not that all fans know about Philip Sr., especially domestic fans.

Seeing that two-thirds of the league's stars stood up in solidarity with the old Philip, many fans felt that the old Philip's energy was really heavenly......

This is simply a big boss behind the scenes!

However, when they found out about the relationship between Philip Sr. and Richard, they immediately knew the reason.

……

"Smack!" When Larry Brown learned the news, he angrily dropped the mug in his hand.

He knows very well that he basically has no chance to win the championship in the NBA, and there will definitely be no good development in his career.

Just take advantage of the fact that you are still a little hot, and then enter the Hall of Fame, otherwise, it will be difficult to enter the Hall of Fame in the future.

But Richard, the damn guy, is haunted.

Ever since this damn guy entered the Alliance, he's been targeting himself, and he's never been able to make himself safe.

Thinking of this, Larry Brown deeply regrets his original move.

If I hadn't messed with Richard in the first place, I'm afraid I wouldn't have fallen into such a field now.

I may be able to coach a team safely, and although I have little chance of winning a championship, at least I don't have to wander around like I am now.

……

He was a little afraid of Richard's energy in this alliance now, it was too terrifying.

More than half of the stars in the league are standing up in solidarity with Philip Sr. at this moment, which is actually supporting Richard.

With so many stars in support, the Hall of Fame must also take into account the thoughts of the top group of people in the world basketball circle today.

Maybe the matter of entering the Hall of Fame himself may be ruined by Richard.

If you really want to talk about honor, Philip Sr. is actually not as good as Larry Brown, but the bad thing is that Philip Sr. has a triple championship in hand, counting the previous two consecutive championships, that is, five consecutive championships, which is the strongest consecutive championship in NCAA history outside of the old K coach.

That's pretty valuable......

So even if the Hall of Fame chooses Philip Sr., no one can find fault with it.

……

The momentum that should be created has been created, and his group of disciples are also quite powerful, and at the right time, without Richard's greeting, they immediately jumped out to attack Larry Brown.

The entire group of West Lafayette players, because of Richard, has never had a good opinion of Larry Brown.

Later, Barry Jr. and Larry Brown had another big quarrel and were traded, which made the West Lafayette gang desperate to find Larry Brown desperately.

It may be that Larry Brown is not treated well by the West Lafayette gang, so he can't find a job in the NBA right now......

At present, the West Lafayette Gang is already a force in the alliance that absolutely cannot be ignored!

It can even be said that it is one of the most influential groups.

……

At the beginning of January, the results of the first round of All-Star voting that Richard was looking forward to were finally released.

This year's All-Star vote went through Chinese channels, resulting in a rather frightening increase in votes.

Especially Yao Ming's votes, which made Richard dizzy.

Under normal circumstances, Yao Ming squeezed out O'Neal in his rookie season and became the starting center of the Western Conference All-Stars.

But the ticket king of this All-Star is not Yao Ming, but Kobe.

Bryant's total votes were 1.47 million, and Yao Ming only had 1.28 million votes.

Even Yao Ming is not even second, he still has Maddie's 1.31 million tickets and Carter's 1.3 million above him.

As for O'Neill, the number of votes of 1.05 million is not particularly big compared to Yao Ming's words.

But this is normal after all, because of Richard's crossing, the current All-Star vote has also changed a lot.

At present, the basketball atmosphere in China is much better than under normal circumstances, mainly because of the pioneer Dazhi.

When Yao Ming entered the alliance, it added to the fire.

At present, the number of domestic fans, compared with normal circumstances, is much, much more, and the number of votes is naturally even more terrifying.

Yao Ming ranked first, with a terrifying 1.07 million votes!

You must know that this is only the first round of voting, and the popular Kobe Bryant only has less than 800,000 votes at the moment!

In addition to Yao Ming, the vote situation of Zeon Clarke on the Pistons' side is also extremely hot.

This year, Richard asked Clark to run as an All-Star as a forward, and the result is that the goods have now received 600,000 votes, just under 100,000 fewer than Carter.

Anyone who sees Clark's vote will be absolutely dumbfounded.

Because it's so incredible, Clark in the first two years can really be said to be Mao.

But since he hit Richard's hands, the whole person has been directly reborn, and some clues have been revealed last season, and this season he has almost become the Eastern Striker Ticket King!
