Chapter 435: The Aggrieved Clark Wants to Cry (Angry Shield Plus Change)
Although many people can't understand Richard's deal, they won't say anything, but one Starkerhouse can't hold back......
He is a big-mouthed player, and even his senior Jordan dared to contradict him at the beginning.
Now that Richard came to the Trail Blazers, the first thing he did was put him on the shelf, and it was no wonder that he could stand it.
Originally, he was quite happy that Richard had joined the Pistons......
He finally survived the departure of Grant Hill and became the absolute main point of attack in the team, averaging nearly 30 points per game last season.
In this case, he feels that after Richard comes, he will definitely build the lineup with himself as the core of the team.
At that time, he may also be like Kobe, Xiao Ao and Big Ben, win the Finals MVP, and go directly to the peak of life.
As a result, before the dream was finished, Richard put him on the shelf, and then sold him neatly......
That's right, in Stackhouse's view, Richard's trade of himself like this is definitely a cheap sale!
This is an insult to yourself......
If Richard gets some precious chips, then Starkerhouse might be able to take some.
But now that Richard has made a seemingly loss-making deal, what does that mean?
It shows that Richard doesn't take Stackhouse seriously at all, even though he was third on the scoring list last season, even if he averages close to 30 points per game.
Sell it casually as if you were taking out the trash!
Frightened to the point of losing his mind, where does he remember Richard's murderous name.
"He'll definitely regret his decision!"
"Yes! He'll definitely regret it, look at these garbage players he bought, they're all goods that other teams don't want! ”
"The most ridiculous thing is that he has brought in so many players from other leagues, a Chinese league player in his thirties, a player who can't get along in the Chinese league."
"God, I doubt Richard was lucky in his years as a coach of the Trail Blazers!"
"I dare to assert that he will never win a championship in the Pistons......"
Before leaving Detroit, Stackhouse held a private press conference of his own, and the topic was directed at Richard.
After this press conference, Richard learned that Stackhouse had torn himself......
But he didn't pay much attention to it, this kind of two-fool player seemed to him to be of the same nature as Ricky Davis.
But he felt like he had to call the Trail Blazers......
Stackhouse is a thorn, and Richard is really afraid that when this goods arrives with the Trail Blazers, it will mess up the atmosphere in the Trail Blazers' locker room.
first called Zhang Weiping and asked him to sell Starkerhouse as soon as he could.
Have the right chips and sell them quickly.
Then he made a second preparation, and if it was not sold, Richard made another call to Big Ben.
When Starhouse joins the team, let him take Xiao Ao and Artest, and the three of them will hammer Starhouse first, let him be honest......
Poor Stark House, having no idea what kind of devil he had provoked.
……
Richard contacted Ginobili about Nocioni and asked him to help inquire.
Things went pretty smoothly.
Nocioni's contract with the team has just ended, and he is preparing to play in Spain because he was not selected in the draft.
As a result, when he heard that Richard was going to recruit himself, he immediately went crazy with joy......
As soon as I got the news from Ginobili, I booked a plane ticket to the United States that afternoon and wanted to come to Richard.
Nocioni's temperament is completely different from other foreign players, which is quite funny......
Not at all as low-key as Nowitzki and Ginobili, he has a pretty ...... style on the court
Tough!
Or it's not too much to describe it as dirty......
Bright shoulders and dark elbows small flying kicks, openly with shoulders, secretly with elbows and elbows, and sometimes with take-off kicks.
The key is still a stupid and bold man, no matter who the opponent is, he dares to move.
Artest was once annoyed by this thing, and almost caused a big brawl between the bulls and the pacers.
In terms of personal strength, it is not too strong, but in a strong team, it is qualified to be the main starter of the team.
In the weak team, he is qualified to be the second or third leader of the team.
On the offensive end, the style is not quite the same as other European forwards, lacking the stability of the outside attack, and the main means of scoring is the air cut.
The offensive means are relatively simple, but the effect is quite good, mainly because the expression of this goods is quite hideous when he goes to the basket......
As if he was going to fight for his life, he yelled when he went to the basket, and the expression on his face was as if he had stabbed someone more than a dozen times, and it hurt to watch.
Others play for money, but he plays for death......
As for the defensive end, it is said that the shoulder and elbow are kicked by Xiaofei, so even if his physical fitness is not good, the defensive effect is actually good.
It's still a living treasure in the locker room, and the personality is quite interesting......
Richard is quite pleased to be able to get such a player without spending any cost.
……
After Stackhouse was traded, there are now four players left in the Pistons' original roster that still occupy salary space.
Corrys-Williams, Barros, Clark, Atkins four.
The annual salary of these four people is about 13 million.
As for the nine people Richard got in his hands, Hu Weidong, Anderson and Rajabel's salaries add up to $6 million.
On Nocioni's side, Richard also gave an annual salary of eight million dollars for four years.
Nash's annual salary is in the range of five or six million a year.
The remaining four are all rookie contracts, namely Elvis Presley, Crawford, Oku and Arenas.
Elvis Presley and Crawford are both on rookie contracts, which is not much to say, and their combined annual salaries are less than $3 million.
As for Oku and Arenas, although they were both second-round picks, Richard still let them sign four-year contracts.
Both gave Elvis the same standard of contract......
The two men's combined salaries in their first year of rookie play are $2 million.
Now the problem comes, Richard has solved the problem of numbers, and the Pistons have four people plus the nine they have recruited, which is exactly enough to make up thirteen people, which meets the minimum number of people on a team.
But now the team's salary space is a big problem.
It's not too much, beyond the salary cap, but too little, so little that there is still a lot of distance from the poor line.
The contract of 13 people is less than 32 million when it is full, and there is still 6 million dollars left from the poor people's line of 38 million!
At the moment, Richard is not ready to continue to sign, and the current squad will be used in the new season.
As a result, there is no way to fill the poor people's line......
It's not that there is no solution, which is to sign two free agents and give them an annual salary of $3 million to make up the $6 million vacancy.
But Richard felt that if he did this, he would lose money.
There aren't any decent players on the free market, and even if there are, they can't be signed for $3 million.
All Richard could do was sign casually......
But this will cheapen the two cannon fodder players, and Richard will definitely not want to do it.
It's better to be so empty, anyway, the difference of six million dollars will not be taken away by the league at that time, but evenly distributed to the players in the team.
When Richard informed the team's owner, Davidson, that the final salary for the season was only $32 million.
Old man Davidson almost rolled his eyes in shock......
He really wanted to tell Richard that this kind of thing should not save himself money, not to mention the salary beyond the salary cap, at least you have to fill in the poor man's line......
Otherwise, if this news gets out, people will think that I, Davidson, am a door-picker.
Lao Tzu Yingming I, you Richard don't hurt me so much!
"Ahem, boss, there's really no way, instead of letting these six million dollars go to others, I think it's better to give an equal score to the main players in your own team......" Richard said with a wry smile.
"Li, seriously, you don't have to save money for me, I'm this old now, what's the use of asking for so much money?"
"The only thing I want to see right now is for the Pistons to win a championship!"
The old man Davidson said to Richard with a tangled expression......
Richard hurriedly waved his hand, what a joke, he really didn't plan to save money, you must know that if he really wanted to save money, he could even control the total salary of this year at 25 million US dollars!
Now it is already the result of Richard's lavish contract.
"You really misunderstood me, I really don't have the idea of saving money."
"As for the championship, trust me, in four years, I'll let you see the Pistons lift the championship trophy!"
"Maybe not even four years!"
Richard said with a smile that he was still quite confident in winning the championship......
Davidson nodded, since Richard was confident of winning the championship.
He was afraid that Richard would miss out on a lot of good players because of saving money, resulting in the Pistons not being able to win the championship.
……
After Davidson agreed, it basically represented the completion of the Pistons lineup for the new season.
Among them, the center positions: Zeon Clarke and Oku.
Power forward position: Chris Anderson
Small forward positions: Gerard Wallace, Corris Williams, Nocioni
Quarterback positions: Hu Weidong, Rajabel, Crawford
Point guard positions: Nash, Arenas, Atkins, Barros.
What makes Richard a little painful is that the current situation of the Pistons is similar to that of the Trail Blazers, and there are too few interior players......
The real interior players are Clark, Oku and the Birdman.
As for Gerrard, he can top the No. 4 position, but it is not cost-effective to do so, and he cannot maximize Gerrard's power.
He suffers a bit from playing the number four, and the defense of the number three can take advantage of it.
As for Nocioni, he is not suitable for playing as a big forward, and is more suitable for playing in the position of a small forward.
This made Richard uncomfortable......
But thinking about being able to pick Yao Ming and Boozer next season, Richard feels better.
Next season's Pistons interior lineup will be perfect.
At the moment, it can only be improvised......
Although this lineup does not seem particularly strong, in Richard's opinion, if he wants to, it is not a problem to reach the playoffs in the East.
The main thing is that the defensive strength of the various positions is quite good.
Nash, who is in the No. 1 position, Richard is ready to put Beverly on him.
In this way, Nash's shortcomings are compensated, and Richard doesn't know how powerful Nash can burst out.
Ragabel in the second position, the defensive strength is also top-notch.
Even if he is still a little far from the top now, there is still no problem at all in defending non-top quarterbacks.
As for the number three position, all three players are defensive stalwarts.
In the fourth and fifth positions, Anderson's defense is good, Oku is also above the level, and as for Clark, he is a blue-collar center, and he can still take a look at it on the defensive end.
This kind of defensive intensity, placed in the East, which is weaker than the West, is not a big problem if it wants to make the playoffs.
Of course, Richard has no plans to make the playoffs this season......
This season, Richard wants to make as many players as he can.
In this way, Richard will have the chips to bring in more All-Star powerhouses later!
……
The lineup for the new season has been completely decided.
Richard is quite satisfied, after coming to the Pistons, he is really self-made, there are no decent chips in the team, and it is completely acceptable to create such a lineup.
You can't become fat in one bite, and you can only take your time when it comes to lineup building.
……
Let Myers take the team's newcomers to play in the summer league, and the situation is not bad, only losing one game in a few games, and the newcomers have performed remarkably.
However, this is only the summer league, and the specific strength of these sub-players still depends on the main game!
On September 30, Richard called all the players on the team.
In the past half month, the team has already started training, and now Richard feels the need to talk to his players.
"Guys, the preseason starts in a few days, and it's time to announce our starting lineup for the Pistons for the new season." Richard took the player list and said with a smile to the players under his hands.
"The starting line-up for the new season is Oku, Anderson, Gerrard, Ragabel and Nash."
"Of course, this starting lineup is just a kind of experiment for me, after all, we are a new army and everything is in the process of being explored!"
The five people who were called by name were all pleasantly surprised......
With the exception of Nash, the other four are actually inconspicuous players.
Oku is a second-round pick, and not a second-round pick like Arenas, he's a rookie in the middle of the second round.
Such a rookie was actually put into the starting lineup by Richard, and he only felt that he was going to be developed!
Being put in the starting lineup by Richard shows that Richard recognizes his potential.
Every player who has been recognized by Richard is now mixing quite well, and all of them have achieved quite good development.
And now that this good fortune is on his own, Oku grinned.
……
Ragabel is not even as good as Oku, who is at least still a rookie with good roots, Ragabel is just a draft loser, although he has also been mixed in the basketball circle in the past two years, but he is only a fringe player on the edge.
Now Richard not only gave him a sky-high contract, but also put him in the starting lineup, which made him not know what to say for a while!
There was only one thought in his mind, and that was to work hard for Richard!
It is said that a man dies for a confidant, and Rajabel feels this way right now.
……
As for Anderson, it's not appropriate to call him a birdman now, this thing hasn't made so many bells and whistles at the moment, and even the whole person has fine skin and tender meat, and his appearance is no less than those little fresh meat.
At first glance, Anderson really looks like Nowitzki, who just entered the league two years ago......
Anderson is actually the most inconspicuous player in this starting lineup, and Ragabel is at least still mixed in the NBA circle, but he Anderson is good, and he has mixed in the CBA......
What's even more embarrassing is that he can't even get along in the CBA.
When he heard that he was put in the starting lineup, Anderson was dumbfounded.
He felt it might be a joke......
A big joke, I just joined the Pistons, and I got the starting position directly?! It's not a joke......
Could it be that his big brother Hu Weidong played a role in it?
Thinking of this, Anderson looked at Hu Weidong gratefully......
He was a teammate of Jiangsu Nangang and Hu Weidong for two years, Hu Weidong was the absolute boss of the team at that time, even if Anderson was a foreign aid, but the performance on the field was not as good as Hu Weidong, everything still had to listen to Hu Weidong.
Hu Weidong also takes good care of Anderson......
In Anderson's opinion, after Hu Weidong found Richard's big thick leg, he didn't forget himself, and even brought himself to the piston, this big brother is simply too righteous.
That's right, Anderson now thinks that Hu Weidong got him into the piston.
……
Now Anderson just wants to thank Hu Weidong and this righteous big brother.
……
As for Gerald Wallace, he was the highest-pick pick in Richard's draft this year, and putting him in the starting lineup would make sense.
……
Some of the players who didn't get a starting spot had a bit of an ugly face.
For example, Atkins, who was originally the starting No. 1 spot for the Pistons, is now directly squeezed out by the newcomer Nash.
For example, Corris Williams, who was also a starter for the original Pistons, has now been squeezed out and turned into a bench.
But the two of them didn't have much to say, so they could only accept it silently.
Nash played 15+7 last season, and his strength is far stronger than Atkins, even if Atkins is uncomfortable, he can't find anything wrong.
As for Gerrard, this is the highest rookie Richard has won this year, and Corris can only silently accept the fact that his starting position has been replaced.
Both of these can accept it, and Barros, the substitute in the original team, must be more acceptable......
Instead, it was last season's starting center, and Zeon Clarke was dumbfounded......
Originally, when he heard that Richard was coming to coach the Pistons, he was as excited as if he had eaten a stimulant, and he was happy to see everyone all day long saying that he was going to rise.
even spent a lot of money to have a grand party in his own home to celebrate his imminent rise!
Why is he so confident to rise? It must have been because of Richard......
You must know that Richard had quite high hopes for him at the beginning, if it wasn't for the Bucks' side, he would have successfully joined Richard, I'm afraid that at this point in time, he can renew his contract with a certain team in advance!
Think about the interior players who came out of Richard's hands, all of them are super existences!
Big Ben and Xiao Ao are the MVPs of the finals!
Clark feels that he is definitely no worse than Big Ben and Xiao Ao, he was also pitted by the Bucks, otherwise, he may replace Xiao Ao and become the second center in this league!
You have to know what Richard said about himself at the beginning?
The reason why Clark didn't play was because he didn't meet the right coach......
If he coaches himself, Clark will be the league's top center.
In Clark's body, he saw the shadows of Big Ben and Little Ao.
Clark is a younger version of O'Neal, no, a younger version of Duncan to be exact......
If you get your hands on it......
These are the exact words that Richard tore up at the press conference with the Bucks!
Clark was dumbfounded, saying that he was a young version of Duncan?
Say that you have the shadow of Big Ben and Little Ao on your body......
said that if he got his hands on it, he would make himself a top interior player in the league......
How can you let yourself play as a substitute now?!
Is your Duncan used to play as a substitute......
Thinking of this, Clark felt extremely aggrieved and wanted to cry.
What's going on, isn't Richard lying to himself at the beginning?
……
Clark, who was standing in the crowd, became more and more aggrieved the more he thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, and his eyes turned red.
He had always wanted to play under Richard, and that was his dream all along.
But what I didn't expect was that everything I was looking forward to turned out to be empty!
Richard doesn't seem to pay much attention to himself, and even for so long, Richard hasn't talked to him alone.
This feeling of shattered dreams made Clark's heart congested.
……
"No, I'm going to talk to him, I have to talk!" Clark made up his mind that he must talk to Richard about this matter, otherwise he would not die.
He desperately wanted to know if Richard was lying to himself in the first place!
