Beasley's recognition of Richard is like a small clerk at the bottom of Ali's father's group, who suddenly learned that Jackma was his second uncle, and then ran to recognize him, and finally Jackma really recognized him as his eldest nephew......

Think about this little staff, it's definitely going to be a flying rhythm.

Beasley feels the same way right now.

Although his strength is quite strong, he is currently a sophomore in high school, averaging 28 points, 13 rebounds and 4 blocks per game, and has the strength to enter the All-American team.

Even without Richard, Beasley knew he had a happy future ahead of him.

But if Richard has the help of him, his happy future will definitely come early without discount.

……

In fact, Richard wasn't 100% sure of his relationship with Beasley, as Beasley said.

But that's not a bad thing for Richard.

Beasley wasn't a bad boy, and he was a poor guy too.

Of course, there is some truth to the saying that poor people must be hateful.

Beasley's failure to deliver on his talent has a lot to do with his character.

His character flaw is his lack of patience......

You can see the clues from his high school career, in four years of high school, this goods have changed four schools, which is simply invincible.

"Michael, you came to New York by yourself?" Richard suddenly thought of Durant.

Durant and Beasley were almost inseparable when they were children.

It was later transferred to Beasley High School, and the two were separated.

"No, I came with a friend of mine."

"He was afraid that he would cause trouble and alarm the police, so he is waiting for me outside now......"

Richard was stunned, this coward can't be Durant......

"What's your friend's name?"

"Kevin."

"Kevin Durant."

"He doesn't actually believe I'm your cousin, he thinks I'm bragging......" Beasley grinned, scratching his head in embarrassment.

Richard nodded, it's really Durant......

The two chatted for nearly half an hour, and Richard inquired in detail about Beasley's current situation.

Beasley is now in his sophomore year of high school, attending River Valley Baptist High School in Maryland.

However, Beasley said that he will next transfer to Oak Hill High School, a famous basketball high school, to join up with his good friend Durant......

Durant is now a signature player at Oak Hill High School.

"Alright, Michael, keep it up, and hopefully I'll see you on the NCAA stage in two years."

"Here's my phone number, if you have time, like on vacation, remember to come to Charlotte to find me."

Seeing that it was not too early, Richard left his phone number with Beasley.

Beasley nodded solemnly, "Cousin, don't worry, after two years of high school graduation, I will definitely join Purdue University, and I will definitely win a championship trophy for Purdue at that time!" ”

Richard smiled and patted Beasley on the shoulder, "Yes, good work, my little cousin, the doors of Purdue University are open for you at any time." ”

……

After returning to the hotel, Richard still felt as if he was dreaming, and accidentally had a little cousin.

For some reason, he looked at Beasley quite kindly, which had nothing to do with basketball memories in his previous life.

After all, Richard in his previous life was a Beasley fan who couldn't be said to be......

Presumably, Beasley has not had many fans left since he fell.

This cordiality, Richard pondered, may have come from the kinship between them.

"It's not bad, I recognized a cousin, and in the future, in this world, in addition to Tiana's mother's family, I will also have my own relatives." Richard thought with a smile.

……

After returning to Charlotte, the players went back to their homes and looked for their mothers.

Their work for the season is completely over.

Although their record this season is quite humiliating, after all, the goal is to be a higher draft pick, so the players are not much disappointed.

Richard had just returned to Charlotte for three days with Tiana before the team held an executive season wrap-up meeting.

The main summary is not so much about the player's contract, but as the revenue of the season.

Richard and Jordan smiled from ear to ear when they saw the team's revenue statement.

This season, their Buccaneers' net profit is around $12 million.

Among them, Pippen made a considerable contribution to this profit statement.

Old Pippen's jerseys and peripherals this season are selling quite hot.

After playing in one season, averaging 25.3 points, 5.6 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.9 steals per game, where can you see that this is an old man who is close to forty years old.

This kind of miracle directly made Pippen an old monster-level figure in the eyes of fans, and the sales of some of his peripheral products were naturally extremely hot.

This profit of 12 million US dollars is definitely not enough for teams in the Knicks, Lakers and Bulls such as the super-sized ball market.

But it's also more profitable than more than half of the league's teams!

You must know that one-third of the league's teams are currently in a state of loss, and there are still a few teams that have no losses, but they are not profitable, and the profit of 1.8 million is basically negligible.

The Pirates were able to achieve such a profitable result, even if Jordan and Richard didn't look down on the money, they were happy to keep their mouths shut at the moment.

Speaking of which, the biggest reason why the Pirates are profitable is that their expenses are too low.

The player's salary is less than 30 million, not even one-third of the Knicks.

If the Pirates' salary reaches the level of the Knicks, I'm afraid that Richard and Jordan will lose no pants this year.

Even if it's only half of the Knicks' salary, $50 million, then the Pirates are actually losing money this year.

And the salary level of $50 million is almost a normal level in the league......

"We're going to have a big deal in terms of player salaries for the next season, probably to about $37 million."

"If we were to make a profit based on the current profitability, we wouldn't end up making more than $5 million next season."

"And next season, when our salary cap will be the same as any other team, and the league's poor line will be in effect for us, and if we continue to maintain this level of revenue, we may face a loss."

The team's chief financial officer, Huang Jinlong, said in a slightly heavy tone.

This season, the Pirates' salary cap is two-thirds of that of the other teams, and three-quarters next season, and the league's poor ghost line does not apply to the Buccaneers during this two-year period.

So the Pirates can reduce costs as much as possible in terms of player salaries......

After these two years, the Buccaneers will have to run the team according to the same standard as the other teams.

According to Golden Dragon's estimates, if profitability does not improve, they are likely to be in a state of loss in the future.

After listening to the golden dragon's analysis, Richard stood up and waved his hand.

"Guys, don't worry about the future."

"In the future, we will be the champion team in this league, or even a dynasty team, and it will not be a problem to make a profit."

"Everyone has done a fantastic job this season, and the $12 million profit is enough to show that."

"I firmly believe that next year, the year after and in the future, the Pirates will definitely become an existence that is not weaker than the Knicks!"

Richard said loudly with confidence.

"That's right, Richard was right!"

"Applause, applause for our upcoming dynasty!"

Jordan laughed heartily, looking forward to the next new season.

Although this season's results are terrible, Jordan knows very well in his heart that this is the darkness before the dawn and this is the foreshadowing before success.

Next season, the giant pirate ship of the Pirates will officially set sail!
