In fact, if Richard talks to the basketball manager right now, the effect will be better.

The governing body of domestic basketball is actually divided into two parts.

One is the well-known Chinese Basketball Association, referred to as the Basketball Association, and the other is the Basketball Management Center under the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China, which is the superior unit of the Basketball Association.

In essence, the Basketball Association does not belong to the administrative unit, but to the non-governmental organization, and their chairman is not an administrative position, to put it bluntly, it is not an official......

It is more similar in nature to the management of a company.

As for the basketball manager, if you look at the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China to which he belongs, you will know that this is an administrative unit, and the director of the office of the basketball management center is a department-level cadre.

The basketball management is responsible for the management of the basketball association, which in turn is responsible for the management of more specific basketball affairs......

This is basically the operation process of domestic basketball.

In fact, there is also a basketball association in the United States, but the basketball association in the United States is useless, and it depends on the face of the NBA to speak.

The United States Basketball Association participates in some international competitions, and it really depends on the face of the NBA, and many times it has to beg the NBA to let it engage in some NBA stars to participate in the World Series.

If the NBA doesn't give the nod, there's no doubt that, unless it's a special circumstance, few stars are willing to take the initiative to play in these World Series.

As for the domestic basketball association, that status is certainly not comparable to the American Basketball Association.

……

It stands to reason that if Richard wants to do it in one step, it is best to go to the basketball manager, this is an administrative unit, this is an official organization, and it must be easy to speak.

But at the moment, Richard really has nothing to do with this, and if he rushes to find it, it is a bit abrupt.

It has some overlap with the Basketball Association because of the Sydney Olympics.

So at the moment, Richard is going to look at the Basketball Association first, and if the Basketball Association can't do it, then he will be cheeky to find the basketball manager.

If you are looking for someone to do something, you naturally have to have something in your hand.

If you don't have anything in your hand, the ghost will help you......

Is Yao Ming's going to play in the United States good for the Basketball Association and the basketball team? In addition to the possibility of improving Yao Ming's strength, there are really no obvious benefits.

……

And now Richard has something in his hands, he can take over the national men's basketball team as a bargaining chip, and let the Basketball Association help promote Yao Ming's matter.

Of course, just taking over the whip is useless, and Richard has to give a guarantee of results!

Not to mention, at the just-concluded Sydney Olympics, if Richard really led the team, he really couldn't give any guarantees.

But in the 2004 Athens Olympics, Richard was able to give a guarantee of results.

There is no other reason, because the winner of the men's basketball team in this Olympic Games is not the United States......

It's Argentina!

Argentina relied on the excellent performances of Ginobili, Nocioni, Oberto and Scola to defeat the United States in the semi-finals and finally meet Italy in the final.

Italy is naturally not Argentina's opponent, but Argentina won the championship in this Athens Olympics......

The reason why Richard is confident of winning a medal at this Olympics is because of Argentina.

Argentina can win the championship, and in recent years, he has built a Chinese men's basketball team, will it be worse than Argentina?

And the most important thing is that the strength of the American Dream Six team in this Olympics is a bit weak.

Just look at the head coach first, the head coach of this Dream Six team is Larry Brown.

At the moment, Richard doesn't know if Larry Brown will coach Dream Six again, and if he still coaches Dream Six, it will definitely be a good thing.

In addition to the poor coaching level, this Dream Six team actually has a lot of problems.

The first reason is that the big players who were originally scheduled to compete have released the pigeons......

Kobe, O'Neill, Kidd, Ray Allen, Maddie and others all released the pigeons and found various reasons not to participate in this Olympics.

This also shows the difference between American professional players and Chinese professional players......

With the release of pigeons by these people, the Dream Six team is in a state of internal and external troubles.

There is only one Duncan left on the inside line, and the other inside lines are soft and not used.

On the outside, the players with the right head have all released the pigeons, leaving James, Wade, and Marbury, who have no projection ability.

Of course, the rules were also the biggest factor in the defeat of the Dream Six team, and FIBA did not defend for three seconds......

This leads to newcomers like James and Wade, who have little projection ability and rely on breakthroughs to eat, have no role at all.

Without defending for three seconds, there are countless people on the inside, how can players who rely on breakthroughs to eat attack the basket.

As a result, James averaged 5 points per game, Wade averaged 7 points per game, and Anthony averaged 2 points per game......

Even Iverson averaged less than 14 points per game.

Even if it is these fourteen points, it is the player with the highest average score per game on the side of the Dream Six team......

……

Playing such a Dream Six team, does Richard have confidence?

It's really ......

Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi and Battle are the three big insiders, put them on the field, you can play......

When it comes to Battle, Richard knows that Battle is actually entering the league now.

Joined the Nuggets this season, and the mix was not bad, and in the first two games, Battle got the opportunity to start.

The Dream Six team wants to win the Chinese men's basketball team by breaking through? There are no doors......

Of course, the strength of the Chinese men's basketball team under normal circumstances is definitely not good, even if the Dream Six team has all kinds of shortcomings, it can still easily win the Chinese team.

But when Richard came, it was a completely different story.

This is a Chinese team whose strength has soared!

……

Not to mention winning medals, this Olympics let Richard lead the team to win the gold medal, and he is confident.

Even Argentina can do it, why can't the Chinese men's basketball team led by Richard do it......

……

The current chairman of the Basketball Association is surnamed Zhang, and Richard asked for the number from Hu Weidong and called directly.

"Hello Chairman Zhang, I'm Richard, the head coach of the NBA's Detroit Pistons." After Richard made a phone call, he reported himself directly.

"Yo, rare guests, it's been a long time, I've been listening to Coach Li's prestige, but I haven't had the opportunity to communicate, it's really an honor today." The other party's tone was quite enthusiastic.

This enthusiasm is actually based on Richard's identity, if it were someone else, I am afraid that the phone will be hung up right now.

"I'm calling today to ask about Yao Ming, and you should know that I'm coaching the Detroit Pistons now."

"I'm sure I can let Yao Ming join the Pistons, and I'm sure I can make Yao Ming a top center in the NBA."

Richard didn't say anything about the Shanghai team's conditions for Yao Ming.

"On top of that, I'll coach Athens 2004 for free and guarantee a medal!"

As soon as Richard finished saying this, he suddenly became calm......

Free or not, that's not what makes him excited, and the coach's little money is not so bad that it can't be opened.

The main thing is the guarantee that Richard can get a medal, and the temptation is too great.

"Are you serious? Can you really get a medal? ”

"Coach Richard, this is no joke!"

"You know what the military order means, right? Your words are almost equivalent to a military order! ”

"If it can't be done, then I have to apologize to the people of the whole country!"

"Stylistic and ...... Blossoming"

Richard nodded on the phone, "I naturally know the meaning of the military order, and if I can't get a medal, I will apologize to the people of the whole country." ”

"And you can make my military order public, and give the fans of the whole country a shot in the arm!"

"Of course, the premise of all this is that I have to get Yao Ming at the next draft!"

Chairman Zhang frowned, he also understands the draft process, even if they release people here, Yao Ming will not agree to choose the Pistons!

"Coach Li, it seems that your Pistons don't have a good chance of picking Yao Ming......"

"You don't have to worry about this, chairman, I have my own means!" Richard said confidently.

Right now, Chairman Zhang's heart is almost the same as Yao Ming's before, full of shock.

Richard's means are really heavenly, and he can even hack such a thing as a champion sign!

Amazing!

It's amazing!

"Okay, Coach Li, we'll do our best to make this happen, but ugly words are ahead."

"If Yao Ming participates in the draft and is not selected by you, it is your problem."

"You will coach the 2004 Chinese men's basketball team in Athens, and we will make this public in advance and announce your promise."

"If it doesn't work out, you have to come up with a sincere apology and apologize to the fans across the country."

"Good!" Richard simply agreed.

……

After hanging up the phone, Chairman Zhang's face was full of excitement, if Richard can really do this, then he, the chairman of the Basketball Association, will do it......

It's a bit inappropriate to say this, to be precise, this is the rhythm of his promotion and fortune.

It was a historic breakthrough to win a medal in the Olympic Games, and he, the president of the Basketball Association, naturally had a lot of credit, and he couldn't do it without promotion.

Without any hesitation, he directly picked up the phone next to him and called the person in charge of the Shanghai team to inquire about the situation.

That is, this draft has ended, otherwise, he even wants to send Yao Ming to the NBA immediately, and then make Richard's promise public as soon as possible!

……

After Richard hung up the phone, he was also relieved, and now he was already involved in this matter, hoping to make a good progress.

Although the Basketball Association is a subordinate unit of the basketball management, in fact, the basketball management may not be able to manage the Basketball Association, mainly because Chairman Zhang is the chairman of the Basketball Association in the capacity of deputy director.

The position of chairman of the Basketball Association is indeed not an official, but the person who sits in this position is different.

……

Then Richard turned his attention back to the NBA, and the domestic side can only wait for news for now.

Tonight is the game against the Milwaukee Bucks, and Richard still takes it very seriously.

With his joining the Pistons, with the Pistons' poor record, there are now many voices in the league that are beginning to question Richard.

In this case, he naturally couldn't sit idly by, and he had to use thunderous means to shut him up.

……

At eight o'clock in the evening, Richard led the Pistons to begin entering.

When the Bucks players entered, the Pistons fans at the scene booed the big dog Robinson.

Although Richard has not been with the Pistons for a long time, all Pistons fans are counting on Richard to get them back to the top......

Now the star of the Bucks dares to publicly humiliate Richard, which is absolutely intolerable.

was booed by the fans, and the big dog Robinson laughed instead of being angry.

Shhh

was previously hit by Richard with the largest single-game point difference in history, which stimulated the big dog a lot.

Naturally, he wanted to get back on the field tonight......

But he wasn't arrogant enough to make that big of a point difference on the Pistons, which was impossible.

But even then, even if it's just a big win over the Pistons, that's enough.

……

Richard glanced at Ragabel, who nodded at Richard with a calm expression.

Mr. Ragabel felt that he might be following a Bowen-like path right now.

This is a path that Bowen has walked......

Bowen has proven that this path is completely open.

For players who are not very talented, this path is the best option for them.

Going down this path, they can at least get a satisfactory contract in this league.

For example, Bowen is currently holding an annual salary of four million in the Spurs, and when his contract ends, it is no exaggeration to say that there may be a contract with an annual salary of at least six or seven million waiting for him.

may be placed in the future generations, six or seven million annual salary is nothing, that is, a middle-class contract.

But for now, it is a contract that is enough to make most players blush.

Ragabel knew that the path Richard had chosen for himself might be infamous for him, but so what.

Can you delay making money on your own?

Definitely not, not only will it not delay yourself in making money, but you can also make yourself more money.

Ninety-nine percent are professionals, so what are you playing for?

It's just to make money, and if you have money to earn, why not make it.

……

"Man, play aggressively when you get on the field!"

"Pistons fans, hopefully recreate the Bad Boys Army!"

Richard said to Ragabel.

Bell nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, coach, I will satisfy you, it will definitely not be worse than Bowen or Artest!" ”

……

"Doot toot!" The referee blew the whistle for the start of the match.

The starters of both sides began to enter.

Richard glanced at the big dog Robinson coldly, this kid is really floating, I'm afraid that after this game, he will understand a truth.

Your uncle is still your uncle.

Even if Richard falls into Pingyang, it is not something that his big dog can bully.

……

The Bucks have learned the lesson of not having a decent interior this season and brought in two mature interior players instead of selecting rookie interior players in the draft.

Maybe it's also Clark, let them eat a trench and grow wise.

You can introduce a mature inner line, although there is no risk, but if you want to get a strong mature inner line, it will definitely not be easy......

So at the moment, the two interior players of the Bucks are not strong, and they are just relatively decent existences in the league.

One is Purzbilla, a typical blue-collar center, and he's also a white man......

There is definitely ability, but it is certainly unrealistic to expect to have the level of Daben.

The other is Ervin Johnson, who is also a blue-collar center, who is playing as a substitute for Purzbilla at the moment.

This player is prematurely aging, and he is not very old at the moment, but he is almost cool.

At its peak, it was the existence of squeezing out Uncle Mu......

……

In the opening game, the Birdmen helped the Trail Blazers get the ball.

Nash is facing the alien Cassel tonight, and Kassel is no longer young at the moment, he is already 32 years old.

As he gets older, Kassel's defense, which he is not very good at, is now even more vulnerable in front of Nash.

After Nash rushed to the frontcourt, he used his speed to shake off Kassel and shoot directly to the field, hitting it steadily.

……

When it came to the Bucks' offensive round, Cassel used his unique trick.

Slow......

His trick on the offensive end is to be slow, slow as a snail, swaying slowly at his own pace, like an old man walking......

Richard seriously suspected that Anderson, the human creeping essence of the Spurs in later generations, was a trick he learned from aliens.

Kassel began to beat Nash in his back, unhurriedly, slowly.

He didn't have to make a shot himself, but he was creating opportunities for his teammates, or more precisely, for Ray Allen.

Ray Allen was also a good player off the ball, smashing out from the side of Kassel, who immediately passed the ball and the latter raised his hand to shoot.

The basketball went into the net, and both sides hit the start of the game.

……

Richard sat on the bench on the sidelines and was quite appreciative of Kassel's performance.

This veteran can make a splash in the league without any outstanding physical talent, and he really has two brushes.

Even the older he gets, the more demonic he becomes, and when he joined the Timberwolves the year after that, he broke out in the second spring of his career.

Successfully followed the Timberwolves to the Western Conference finals......

Like these veterans who have become famous, in fact, they have some unique skills under their hands, which is the foundation of their ability to gain a foothold in the NBA.

……

The game on the field was very lively, and both sides were full of energy.

Ragabel switched defenses with Steven Gerrard in this game, and most of the time it was Robinson, the big dog of the defense.

The big dog may also want to make Richard lose face, so tonight's desire to attack is quite strong, wanting to cut down big points and tease Richard again after the game.

But the kid named Bell in front of him defended to make the big dog quite uncomfortable.

The main thing is that there are too many small actions.

……

At the end of the first quarter of the game, the Bucks maintained the lead, although the difference was not big, only four points, but the lead was the lead, and the big dog's face was quite exciting.

He was now eager to run to Richard and show it off.

Like Ricky Davis said, you Richard left the Trail Blazers and is nothing......

……

But the second quarter of the game had just begun, and the big dog obviously felt that the opponent's small movements were getting more and more.

Kassel controls the ball and plays it with his back, and the big dog cuts in the air and prepares to take the ball and hit the basket.

What he never expected was that he had just received the ball when he felt someone jump on his back and hook his neck with both hands.

Lock your throat!

In order to sabotage this attack, Ragabel was unscrupulous, and directly used the trick of locking his throat.

This lock directly turned the person with the big dog lock on his back.

The whistle in the referee's mouth blew wildly, and he sighed secretly in his heart, it was still that Richard, or that smell......

After the big dog was overturned, he immediately stood up, wanting to fight back and get back on the field.

What are you kidding, the Blazers' gang of villains, you don't dare to mess with yourself, you pistons, these soft guys, also want to bully my big dog?!

I'll let you know why the flowers are so red tonight!
