Richard frowned, and for a moment suspected that he had misheard......

"Mr. Davidson, are you saying that we should let go of this game and go back to Auburn Hills Palace to win the championship?"

"That's right, Lee, you must have to make up your mind in the end, if you think it's okay, then go back to the Palace of Auburn Hills and win the championship."

"If you think it's going to cost us the championship, just kill them at Staples Arena."

Old Davidson repeated his words again.

Richard could roughly guess what Davidson Sr. meant......

Returning to your home turf to win the championship is naturally a lot of benefits.

To be able to sell more tickets for money, this is just a small head, not a small head, the real place to make money is the sales of peripherals on the night of the championship.

For example, players' jerseys, team mascot dolls, championship memorabilia, etc., seeing the team win the championship, even the most stingy fans may forget to spend money......

Of course, for Davidson Sr.'s age, money is definitely not his focus, he actually hopes most to be able to experience the thrill of winning the championship on his own turf.

Richard hasn't forgotten that the last time the Pistons won the championship, Davidson Sr. poured tons of champagne......

……

The meaning of Davidson Sr. is obvious, everything is up to Richard.

Richard was happy, he was really interesting as a head coach, and there was even a boss who wanted to win the championship later.

However, with Malone missing the next schedule due to injury, Richard is already 100% sure of killing the Lakers, so even if he gives the Lakers a game, it is actually harmless.

Seeing that he was about to leave the Pistons, he could be regarded as fulfilling the wish of the old man Davidson.

After all, old Davidson didn't have much left of his life.

In the finals G4, surprisingly, Yao Ke and the two on the Pistons' side only played for less than 30 minutes.

But even so, the Lakers didn't win by many points, and in the end they only won by a measly five points.

This is already quite obvious water release, and many fans are quite dissatisfied for a while, thinking that the finals that can be solved quickly, why is there such an obvious water release? This is against the ethics of competitive sports.

Because of this, many fans also joined the tearing camp to discuss whether this kind of behavior is a violation of competitive sportsmanship.

Richard also heard the fans' discussions, and he had his own ideas about competitive sports.

In Richard's view, the NBA is not exactly a real competitive sport, and it would not be accurate to say that it is completely business.

It's an alliance that balances competition and business!

In terms of competition, it is clear that the NBA has the greatest characteristics of competitive sports, and the winner is king.

In terms of business, it is also obvious that because of interests, the alliance will deliberately introduce some rules, which will promote the formation of certain strong teams, and will also restrict the formation of certain strong teams......

Not only the league, but even some sponsors will actually get involved, affecting the tendency of some players to choose a team.

As the players often say, business is business.

So under such an alliance attribute, it doesn't make much sense to talk about competitive ethics, at least Richard never talked about competitive ethics.

……

Auburn Hills Palace Arena, tonight's fan base, truly interprets what it means to be crowded.

Everyone knows that this is Richard's last season in charge of the Pistons, and no one can say whether the Pistons can maintain such a strong strength in the future......

In other words, no one knows if this is the Pistons' last championship!

In such a situation, how could fans miss such an opportunity, especially in Detroit, a city with a large black population......

Many fans even borrowed money to buy tickets, just to have a topic to brag about in the future.

You see, I witnessed the award ceremony for the Pistons' last championship.

In the last game, Stern went to Los Angeles to present the award to the Pistons.

As a result, the Pistons released the water and did not win the championship in G4, and in desperation, Stern flew from Los Angeles to Detroit again tonight......

This repeated rush made his old face show a trace of fatigue.

The referee blew the whistle, and although the Lakers won G4, it didn't give them any confidence to win the championship.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Pistons are releasing water so that they can put the medal ceremony in the palace of Auburn Hills.

By the time the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the championship had a home, the Detroit Pistons.

The Pistons defeated the Lakers with a score of 98-76 on their home court to defend their championship.

Since then, Richard has also won his fifth championship trophy!

Five championships in eight years, what a great achievement, and the entire Auburn Hills Palace Arena echoed with Richard's name.

After five games, Yao Ming is still the most stable output point in the Pistons team, although the data is certainly not as good as O'Neal, but the Pistons can kill the Lakers so easily, Yao Ming is also a great contributor.

Needless to say, this year's Finals MVP must be Yao Ming's again.

After the Eastern Conference semifinals began, the regular season honors were released, and the Pistons' awards were not particularly satisfactory.

At least a few honors with high gold content, the piston didn't get it.

The regular season MVP was taken by Garnett, who had the first record in the West.

The Defensive Player of the Year accolade was taken away by Artest of the Pacers.

The best coach was won by Grizzlies head coach Hubie Brown.

The Grizzlies led by Hubie Brown, although their record this year is far inferior to that of the Pistons, their record has improved greatly, and they have reached the Western Conference playoffs for the first time in team history this year, which is quite not easy......

This COY was taken away by Hubbie Brown, and Richard was absolutely convinced.

As for the regular season MVP and DPOY being taken away by other teams, Richard can't even accept it......

……

But now that the Pistons have won the championship, Richard doesn't care much about the honors of the regular season.

No matter how valuable the regular season honor is, it is not as valuable as the championship honor!

The makeshift podium was set up, and as is customary, Stern took the stage to speak, rambling for a few minutes before handing over the O'Brien Cup.

This ceremony Richard is so familiar that he can't do it, the first few championships were awarded, and he was still a little excited in his heart, but now he basically treats it with a normal heart.

Next, the list of finals MVPs was given, and it was still Yao Ming, the finals MVP was the second consecutive village, which is definitely a great honor.

With just the first two years of his rookie season, Richard thinks Yao Ming is already qualified enough to enter the Hall of Fame.

I am afraid that in the future, domestic fans will no longer talk about whether Yao Ming is eligible to enter the Hall of Fame......

He is about to leave the Pistons, Yao Ming naturally has to stay with the Pistons to play, and he has two years left on his rookie contract.

Of course, the Pistons will definitely renew Yao Ming's contract in advance, and it is not known whether Yao Ming will choose to stay with the Pistons at that time.

Richard thought about these future things for a while, and then stopped paying attention to them, and he had more important things to do.

This month, there will be an expansion draft and a draft meeting.

When the month is over, July 7 will be my wedding again......

When the wedding is over and Tiana has a honeymoon, it's August.

On August 13, the Athens Olympics officially began, which was another thing that Richard had to be busy.

In addition, the recruitment of the new army's coaching staff must still be involved in this matter.

Anyway, this offseason, Richard will definitely be busy with his feet on the ground, and there are too many things for him to deal with.

Just when Richard had a headache, the system prompt sounded.

What made Richard a little disappointed was that the things rewarded by the system this time were quite shabby, and there was only a junior injury scroll and a little coach full attribute!

What makes Richard most uncomfortable is that this coach's full attribute is not even a lucky attribute......

"It's really a grandmother's leg, is the champion already so worthless? How much is it rewarded?! "Richard is already powerless to complain.

Although he also led the team to the All-Star this season and won the championship, the props available are pitiful.

There's nothing really valuable at all......

When you think about last season, it's simply incomparable.

……

"Ahem, ahem......"

When Richard frowned and was dissatisfied, the elder Davidson took the microphone from Stern's hand, coughed a few times, signaled to be quiet, and had something to say.

The scene suddenly became silent, and some people had already guessed what old Davidson was going to do next.

"Dear fans, tonight is a joyous night, our Detroit Pistons have defended their title!"

"Seriously, three years ago, even in a dream, I couldn't believe that in my lifetime, I could still see the Pistons defend their title!"

"When I recruited Richard to join the Pistons before, many people actually persuaded me, because Richard's salary is too high......"

"But I still invited Richard without hesitation, and now it seems that I made a wise choice at the beginning, don't doubt the wisdom of an old man!"

"Do you think Richard is worth his salary?!" Davidson Sr. asked the fans in a heartfelt manner.

"Value!" Tens of thousands of fans at the scene responded frantically to Davidson Sr.

Richard stood aside, extremely moved in his heart, not to mention anything else, just for the recognition of him by the Pistons fans, his two championships are not in vain!

"That's right! Value! Quite worth it! ”

"Even if Richard's salary doubles again, my old Davidson will not hesitate to sign him, because he is amazing, and with him, the championship is guaranteed!"

Speaking of which, old Davidson had a smile all over his face.

"I remember when Richard left the Pistons before, he said a sentence called the banquet that the world will never break, and I always remember this sentence."

"Now I will also use this sentence, there is a feast in the world, and now it may be time for Richard to leave us."

"I know a lot of fans, they will be disappointed and even angry, but there is no need, Richard has brought us enough glory!"

"Now that Richard is about to become the owner of the Charlotte Pirates, let us wish Richard a bright future with applause and cheers!"

"Of course, take this opportunity to wish Richard a happy marriage!"

The scene resounded with applause and cheers.

In fact, most Pistons fans know that Richard will leave at the end of this season, so they are not too difficult to accept this reality at the moment.

Richard was able to help the Pistons defend their title before leaving, and also left the Pistons with such a perfect championship lineup, and all fans are quite satisfied.

Amid the cheers of the fans, Davidson Sr. pressed down with his hands and motioned for the fans to calm down.

"Alright, now it's our turn to get down to business tonight, I'm afraid everyone can guess!"

With that, Davidson Sr. waved his hand, and an unnumbered jersey fell from the Auburn Hills Palace Arena.

"That's right, tonight is Richard's jersey retirement ceremony!"

"Thank you Richard for your dedication to the Pistons, Detroit will definitely not forget you!"

The jersey with Chard-Lee written on it slowly fell.

The previous jersey retirement ceremony at the Trail Blazers aroused exclamations from fans and the media, but there was no exclamation tonight, and it was obviously not unexpected.

Richard looked at the slowly falling jersey over the arena and had mixed feelings in his heart, he was definitely an indelible part of NBA history now.

Five crowns in eight years!

Six finals, five championships!

Championship defending, champion dynasty!

Both teams retired their jerseys!

I can't count the number of wins recorded......

Thinking of this, Richard couldn't help but feel satisfied, he was already on the road to becoming a myth.

Maybe in a few decades, the NBA will still have its own legends.

Where the road to becoming a myth ends, Richard did not know.

What he knows is that he will continue to work hard, get more honors, and eventually become a monument that no one can cross.

Now that my piston journey has come to an end, I am about to start my journey with the Pirates of Charlotte, which must be another wonderful journey.

Now, it's time to say goodbye.

Richard picked up the microphone and whispered to the tens of thousands of fans at the scene.

"Thank you for your support and care for the last three years."

"Now it's time to say goodbye......"

"Goodbye Detroit!"
