Like the start date of universities in China, universities in the United States generally start on September 1st.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Richard asked Bronny Jr. to gather the varsity players, and he was going to meet first.

The NCAA team's training schedule has strict rules, and in order not to interfere with the normal college study progress of the players, the team will not be able to practice for the entire month of September.

Although many schools will violate this rule and cannot train intensively? Then let the players organize their own training, at most the coach will not show up......

But Richard had no intention of exploiting this loophole, and in his opinion, there was no need for it at all.

The reason why the players were called today was that he really just wanted to meet.

At half past four in the afternoon, Bronny Jr. had already gathered the players, and Rahim's task had not been completed so far, so he was extremely attentive to the other tasks assigned by Richard.

……

The school's basketball hall, as a famous basketball school, Purdue University's basketball hall is naturally not small, and it can accommodate 14,000 people on site.

Although this scale is a bit unsightly compared to the NBA arena, you must know that this is only a university arena, and it is already extremely amazing to have such a large scale!

A column of ten people stood in front of Richard at the moment.

At this moment, Richard's heart is full of pride, look at the lineup under his command, the three future All-Star players, and Brent Barry, the super dunk king and super three-point player, even the head coach of the NBA has a hard time having the opportunity to coach such a luxurious team!

"Jerome Green!"

"Here!"

Richard took the list from Little Brownie and called them one by one.

"Luke Bamot!"

"Here!"

The first six are all veteran players of the team, most of whom are former sophomores and juniors.

And the latter four are Richard's harvest of this holiday......

"Brad Miller!"

"Here!"

Richard looked in Miller's direction, and he was indeed quite good, the tallest of the ten, a typical seven-foot inside height.

It's just that Miller's somewhat restrained and shy expression makes it impossible for Richard to associate with the evil man Miller in his impression.

But thinking of the coaches and the media's evaluation of Miller in his previous life, the villain on the field, the simplicity and gentleness off the field, the current restraint and shyness can be explained clearly.

"Ben Wallace!"

"Here!"

The majestic and powerful voice, like a muffled thunder, resounded throughout the basketball arena and attracted the attention of other players.

Richard smiled, that's the smell, Big Ben of the Beast!

"Brent Barry!"

"Here!"

Barry, a senior in college, obviously looks much more stable than Miller and Big Ben, with confidence on his face and blazing eyes at Richard.

Richard smiled and nodded at Barry......

"Aaron Iverson!"

"To ......"

The voice was not loud, and if Richard hadn't looked over, the other players probably wouldn't have noticed the little man......

Short was Richard's first impression of Iverson.

In fact, there have always been different opinions about Iverson's height, the official height is 1.83 meters, but Richard is sure that Iverson's height is definitely less than 1.8 meters, at least at this point in time, there is absolutely no 1.8 meters......

Because Richard himself is 1.8 meters tall, Iverson may be a little shorter than himself......

Richard immediately turned his attention to Big Ben......

"Good guy, I solved two historical cases in a row today, Iverson's height is less than one meter eight, and Big Ben's height is two meters ......" Richard thought with a smile in his heart.

The reason why Big Ben's height can be determined is because Brent Barry, who is standing next to him, is 201 cm tall, and Big Ben is almost as tall as Barry......

……

As for Iverson's second impression of Richard, it was "mourning......

I feel that this kid doesn't care about any world in the world, all of them are like fucking people, and his face is full of lovelessness, as if what is happening around him has nothing to do with him......

However, Richard, who is familiar with Iverson's temperament, doesn't care, which is actually what attracts Iverson.

……

All ten names were counted, a little small, but Richard felt it was enough.

NCAA teams don't have strict limits on the number of players they can in the NBA, but they usually have around 12 to 15 players, and if there are only 10 players, it is not a rule violation.

In essence, in fact, the NCAA basketball team is no different from other clubs in college, and the basketball team can also recruit an unlimited number of members, but most of the members are soy sauce and do not have scholarships.

Just like those drama clubs and dance clubs, the last ones who can perform on stage must be the best in the club......

And the ten people in front of Richard are the best, the best with a full scholarship......

Clearing his throat, Richard opened his mouth and said slowly.

"First of all, on behalf of Purdue, I would like to congratulate four new players on joining the Boilermakers!"

"The history of the boilermen team is extremely glorious, I'm afraid you also saw it before entering the school, tell me, what do you think?"

Brent Barry was the first to step up, and it looked like he was prepared......

"Coach Li, we have won a national championship championship in our team history, and then there are two final semi-finals, countless elite quarter-finals and the top 16 of Sweetness, and last season we got a place in the top 16!"

Richard nodded, originally he was still a little worried that Barry would make some bullshit because of his identity as the son of a famous man, but now he is relieved, Barry's tutor is quite good......

"Yes, what you said is very good, the reason why Purdue University is a famous basketball school is precisely because of this glorious team history!"

"But, I don't know if you noticed how long it's been since we've won a tournament!"

"The only championship in the history of the team was in 1932, more than 60 years ago!"

For more than 60 years, more than half a century, when Richard said this, he also clearly felt the weight of the history of the Purdue University team!

"And in the next two years, even this season, I'm going to lead you to re-taste the taste of winning the championship more than 60 years ago!"

Richard's words were a little flat, and he didn't say them like those passionate coaches roared about.

Because he knows very well that no one will believe his words, if they say them now!

The big dogs are all drafted? You still want to win the championship?!

I didn't recruit any decent newcomers, and the only gain in the whole new season is probably the transfer of Barry!

In this case, it is tantamount to a fool's dream to win the championship!

……

Sure enough, after hearing Richard's words, old Philip not far away had the heart to remind Richard that the team's current situation is not to mention winning the championship, and it would be good to break out of the Big Ten League......

But considering that doing so would damage Richard's majesty as a head coach, the elder Philip simply kept silent.

All the players looked at each other and won the championship? It's a scary goal......

You must know that last season's strong soldiers were only sweet round of 16, and if Richard set his goal for this season at the round of 16, they might be able to accept it......

"Coach, we ......," Jerome Green, the old man on the team, snapped.

"Huh? What's wrong with us? Richard frowned and looked over......

"The rest of our old players are ...... quality"

"And the four newcomers who joined the company have little experience......"

"Our strength, I'm afraid it's ......"

Although Green is divided, the meaning of his words is obvious, that is, the strength of the remaining veteran players is generally not strong, and the newcomers are inexperienced and have no hope of winning the championship......
