Chapter 40: The main lineup remains unchanged (plus more)
"As for the second thing, I want to ask if there are any players on the team who are ready to participate in the draft, with the exception of Brent Barry......"
Richard looked around the conference room and said with a smile.
Barry Jr. is definitely going to participate in the draft, don't even think about it.
The rest of the players didn't speak......
Richard was stunned, no one went to the draft?! Although Iverson is staying now, Big Ben and Miller on the team are fully qualified to participate in the draft, and they can still be selected!
"Guys, don't take into account my feelings, you must know that you have chosen this path, entering the NBA is the best destination for you, if some of you are willing to go to the draft, I will definitely not stop you, I will only bless, I wish you a happy career!"
These are the words of Richard's heart......
He looked at Big Ben, but Big Ben couldn't sit still when he saw Richard looking at him......
"Coach, look at what I'm doing, I'm not the kind of person who has no conscience, if it weren't for you, I might still be playing at that garbage community college, even if you drive me away, I won't leave!"
"You're coaching at Purdue for a day, and I'm here for a day!"
Big Ben immediately expressed his attitude firmly, Richard coached for a day, and he would never leave!
"Coach, I won't leave, my current level is not enough, I still need time to grow......"
"Hey......
Miller also spoke, with his trademark smirk......
Richard was stunned, Iverson didn't leave, Big Ben and Miller didn't go, doesn't this mean that their main lineup of boilermakers hasn't changed......
Of course, many of the old students in the team will graduate from college in two months, and they will definitely leave the team.
After the meeting, Richard was quite unexpected, he didn't expect that the lineup he had worked so hard to build would continue to be maintained in the new season......
The only one who left, Brent Barry, couldn't help it, after all, he had already graduated from his senior year, and if he didn't participate in the draft, he wouldn't be able to continue playing for the boilermakers.
The coaching staff has added a small assistant coach, that is, Bronny, which is also Richard to compensate Bronny for his hard work over the past year.
Iverson, Big Ben and Miller, all three stayed in the team, and the team's main lineup remained basically unchanged!
For the current result, Richard is still quite satisfied!
……
Dazhi had been in the United States for a month, and the elder Philip had already arranged for him to attend the municipal high school in West Lafayette City.
Dazhi naturally joined the school's varsity team as soon as he entered the school, and he was still the main starter!
Not to mention Dazhi's terrifying seven-foot height and quite good talent, with the connections that Philip Sr. has operated in West Lafayette for more than 20 years, Dazhi will definitely not be a substitute in a municipal high school.
Just like college, there is a basketball league for high school students......
It's just that the high school league is much smaller, and the attraction to fans is far less than that of the NCAA......
In the past month, Dazhi has already led West Lafayette High School to the quarterfinals of the state-level high school league, and his performance is quite dazzling!
Tomorrow is the quarterfinals, and if you win this game, West Lafayette Municipal High School will make it to the semifinals!
The reason why Richard hasn't started Operation Dragon Ball yet, in fact, is mainly because he wants to accompany Dazhi in the past few days, at least he has to wait for Dazhi to finish the high school league......
"Dazhi, I've been too busy these days to watch your game, otherwise, I'll take Daben and them to watch your quarterfinals tomorrow!" Richard asked with a smile.
Dazhi hurriedly shook his head: "Uncle Li, don't come, if you come, I will be nervous......"
Richard nodded, Dazhi is introverted, if Daben and the others go to watch the game, and then shout on the sidelines, it may really affect Dazhi's performance.
"That's good, you can fight hard tomorrow, don't be pressured!"
"Even if you lose tomorrow, it doesn't matter, anyway, when it comes to September, Uncle Li will definitely help you arrange for you to enter Purdue University!" Richard patted Dazhi on the shoulder and said with a smile.
Dazhi nodded, as the schedule deepened, in fact, Dazhi now felt the strength of the opponent!
Indiana can be said to be one of the states with the best basketball atmosphere in the United States, and there are quite a lot of strong high school players in the state.
"Okay, so is there anything else I need to do for you? For example, make a phone call, communicate with your coach, and give you more opportunities to perform? ”
As a champion coach, it is not difficult to get a basketball coach from a primary high school to sell favors.
But Dazhi hurriedly shook his head: "Don't be, Uncle Li, they know that I was brought by you, so they have already taken care of me......
"I just want to eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes right now......"
Richard almost didn't get his back on his breath, scrambled eggs with tomatoes?!
Dazhi hurriedly blushed and explained: "Recently, I have been eating those breads or something, and it is very uncomfortable to eat......
"Okay......"
Scrambled eggs with tomatoes are the "national dish", Richard happens to be able to make them, if Dazhi says that he wants to eat back to the pot or something, then Richard can only help it......
Tomatoes are not rare, and eggs are even more rare, and Richard took Dazhi to the supermarket to buy a lot of them.
Thinking that I have to cook anyway, it is better to buy more ingredients, cook a meal for Dazhi if I have nothing to do, and improve the food......
When the two walked out of the supermarket, they looked like two refugees fleeing, covered with large bags and small bags......
"Uncle Li, this is too much, right? We can't finish eating......" Dazhi asked distressedly.
"Don't you still have a big book, don't worry, those few animals, such a little thing is estimated to be enough for them to eat......" Richard said with a smile.
Back at his residence, Richard asked Dazhi to greet Big Ben, Iverson and others, and he began to cook.
There is a simple kitchen in the studio, although it is simple, but Richard is not prepared to do any difficult dishes, anyway, it is enough.
Scrambled eggs with tomatoes!
Sour and spicy shredded potatoes!
Shredded pork with green peppers!
At the end, a pot of egg custard was steamed......
They are all extremely simple dishes, and after Dazhi found a few people from Daben, the dishes were already on the table......
……
"Coach, you know how to cook? God, why do I feel so close to you, it turns out that we are all the same kind of people, I can fry french fries......" As soon as Big Ben entered the door and saw the dishes on the table, he couldn't help but think of his experience working at Golden Arches......
"Shall I try this strange french fries first? Well? It doesn't seem to be fried, strange method...... "Big Ben looked at the sour and spicy shredded potatoes on the table, and reached out to grab one......
Richard's face was red, the knife was not good, and the shredded potatoes were cut into potato sticks......
"God!"
"My God! OH,SHIT! ”
"It's delicious!"
Big Ben exclaimed, causing several people in the room to look at him strangely......
