Purdue champion players such as Curry, Beasley and Lopez also came to watch tonight.

It's also a Purdue tradition, where teams receive tickets to Richard's team from sponsors and distribute them to the champions.

Beasley looked relaxed, he is now the most proud moment of his life, the top pick, the guarantee is also the top three, it is impossible to fall out of the top three.

With such a starting point, he is destined to have a success rate several times higher than that of other players!

And the draft prospects of the Lopeci brothers are also good at the moment, they are all top 15 picks, and they can also have a bright future in the future.

As for Curry, he signed up for this year's draft, and the draft predictions weren't particularly good, with ESPN giving a prediction of being selected by the Suns with the 23rd pick.

However, Curry is also very relaxed at the moment, and he is not depressed because of his low draft pick, and he knows that Richard will help him solve these things.

……

"Doot toot!" The referee blew the whistle for the start of the Eastern Conference showdown, and Richard beckoned the starting team to start playing.

In tonight's game, or this series, Richard is ready to play Green Point Guard all the time.

After completing the intermediate god-making mission, Paul's strength in the playoffs has improved again, and the advantage against the old aliens will become extremely huge.

And Rivers obviously has no way to guard against the pirates, before the All-Star weekend, they also wanted to bring in a point guard player, but the introduction was introduced, but the result was quite unsatisfactory, the strength was too poor, and it was not as good as the old aliens.

When Green Kai formed the Big Three, he almost hollowed out the team, and how could they buy decent point guard players in the chips they had at hand.

The inside line is also a shortcoming of Green Kai, and an old guy like O'Neal, who has been in the league for more than ten years, will naturally not miss this advantage of opening up the situation.

Two obvious shortcomings directly led to the beginning of Green Kai falling into difficulties, and he was completely pressed by the pirates.

This Green Kai is a castrated version of the Green Kai, and its strength is naturally not as strong as the Green Kai Big Three under normal circumstances, mainly because they have one less Rondo in the point guard position, and one less defensive titan Tony Allen on the bench......

Tony Allen's defensive strength is superb, and even an offensive maniac like Kobe Bryant has admitted that Tony Allen is the best player to defend against him.

Because of his height, he is not particularly effective at defending small forwards, but defending quarterbacks is his specialty.

At the time of Roy's break, Tony Allen could come on a good game to limit Ray Allen and prevent Ray Allen from chasing points with three points.

The Big Three of Green Kai know very well that their bench lineup is completely incomparable with the Pirates, maybe the strength of the Buccaneers' bench lineup is 100, and the strength of their Green Kai bench lineup is not even sixty.

This meant that the big three had to stay on the court for a long time, with Garnett and Pierce playing almost the full first quarter, and Ray Allen playing a full eleven minutes in the first quarter......

With such a long time on the stage, coupled with the fact that these three are all tails in their prime, it is obvious that they are struggling to play.

And they fought seven games against the Pistons, and they didn't get much time to rest......

……

By the time the game was over, the Big Three were exhausted and out of breath, and even so, they lost the game in the end.

Several starters of the Pirates team, all of whom were controlled by Richard for 35 minutes, because there were Rondo, Tony Allen, and Oden on the bench, even if the starters were replaced, it would have little impact on the Pirates' on-court strength.

Rivers sighed, when the Big Three were first formed, he had also had ambitions rising in his heart to break the myth of Richard......

But now the outcome of the game tells him that it is obviously unrealistic to beat Richard just by relying on the Big Three lineup.

There was a sense of confusion and hesitation in his heart, how could he defeat Richard?!

He knows that he will strengthen the point guard and center, and then enhance the depth and thickness of the bench......

But how can such a difficult thing be done? How can they get a point guard of Paul's level, a center of O'Neal's level, and a backup like Rondo and Oden? !

It's harder, harder than climbing to the sky!

Rivers couldn't help but feel a little desperate in his heart, even if they only lost one G1 in the Eastern Conference finals now, but the difference in strength reflected in this game also made Rivers unable to see the hope of advancing to the finals.

……

In the next three games, the state of the Green Kai Big Three is not as good as one game, they are too tired, playing more than 40 minutes in each game, coupled with the physical fitness of the previous game with the Pistons, they have not been fully recovered, resulting in these four games They have not been able to play their peak state as they should.

The last game was Green Kai's home court, and the Buccaneers firmly occupied a 20-point advantage at the end of the third quarter, not giving Green Kai the slightest chance to fight back.

After the game, Pierce looked lonely, and his current mood Richard can quite understand.

Not only Pierce, but Garnett and Ray Allen were also frowning at the moment, their eyes glazed over, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

"Coach, congratulations, you've made it to the finals." Pierce said to Richard with a wry smile.

Richard patted Pierce on the shoulder, these three veterans are actually quite difficult.

After missing out on the chance to win the title this year, the chances of winning the title next year will be even smaller......

If nothing else, these three veterans could become the poster child of a career without a title.

Richard didn't know what to say to comfort Pierce......

However, it is expected that a fighter like Pierce does not need to be comforted, and after an offseason adjustment, he will definitely be able to rush to the championship again next season with full spirit.

……

Another sweep promotion, the Pirates swept all three rounds of the playoffs to advance by sweeping opponents, showing incomparably terrifying combat power.

The current finals in the West are extremely anxious, and the Lakers' lineup may be slightly better than the Spurs now, but they have not been able to gain any advantage over the Spurs, and the two sides are now tied with a score of 2:2.

……

Taking advantage of the Lakers and Spurs battle, the Pirates got a lot of rest.

In the past few days, Richard has begun to think about the roster for next season.

Next season, the '08-'09 season, the players who entered the league in '05 are already in their fourth season, and the first-round picks' contracts are also executed until the final year.

In the '05 draft, Richard drafted a total of three players, namely Paul, Granger and Gortat.

Gortat has already been sold, and Richard definitely doesn't have to think about him, and Granger's words, because Richard has now sold Millsap, if Granger is sold again, the team's small forward position will face a situation where no one is available.

The only reliable small forward that Richard can get in 08 is Batum, but Batum's strength is still quite big compared to Granger or Millsap, and it is difficult to take on the responsibility of the team's small forward position alone.

So, Granger can't sell ......

The only one who can be sold is Paul, and Richard has not publicly said that he wants to trade Paul except for revealing some information to Rondo at the moment, so no team has contacted Richard about the trade at the moment.

But presumably, as long as Richard waits for the end of the season to let out the news, I'm afraid that more than half of the teams in the league will go crazy for Paul.

Such an MVP-level point guard is so young, if he can win it, even if he pays a big price, it is quite cost-effective.

Paul is a true cornerstone player, and building a team with him at the core makes it easy to build a strong team.

Of course, as for how far this powerhouse can go in the playoffs, it's hard to say, anyway, the regular season record will definitely be quite good.

Richard's current trade targets include the Bulls, Heat, Grizzlies and SuperSonics......

These four teams have the lowest record in the league, and the Bulls drew a valuable No. 1 pick at the lottery a few days ago, which is the biggest reason why Richard has the idea of trading with the Bulls.

As for the Heat, they got a good pick, and Richard still wants to try coaching his little cousin Beasley.

The Grizzlies only drew the fifth pick in the lottery this time, which is certainly not comparable to the Bulls Heat, but they can't stand the Grizzlies' many draft picks, and they have a lot of picks in stock at the moment......

And the Grizzlies also have a Kwame Brown on the team, which is a player that Richard must get, and when the time comes, he will be put in the trade as an add-on, and presumably the Grizzlies will not refuse.

……

After some consideration, Richard decided to wait until the offseason to make contact with the Grizzlies to see what was going on there, and if they were willing to pay a lot of chips, he would sell Paul to the Grizzlies.

With a point guard of Paul's level, Richard doesn't really want him to stay in the East and add an opponent to himself out of thin air.

Selling to the west would be the best option......

……

A week later, the Western Conference matchup between the Spurs and the Lakers also ended, and the Lakers finally won the extremely tragic Western Conference final, and the two sides played until the last three minutes to be considered a winner......

Parker left the court with an injury, and the Lakers were lucky.
