Chapter 715: The Smartest West Lafayette Player
Starting next season, Richard will begin to experiment with a new tactical system, abandoning the half-court positional tactics he had been using before.
Speaking of which, in the more than ten years that Richard has been in the league, he has always used half-court positional battles, and now he suddenly has to change the tactical system, which is really reluctant.
However, it is also imperative, and the historical trend is that half-time positional battles are starting to fall behind, and teams around the league are starting to play small ball.
Unless Richard can find super traditional centers like O'Neal, Yao Ming and Oden in the future, he will not be sure to win against those small-ball teams in the future.
……
After returning to Charlotte, Jordan had to hold a make-up championship ceremony at the Pirates arena so that Charlotte fans could share the joy of the dynasty.
Richard naturally did not refuse, this kind of thing is a good thing, it can increase the loyalty of fans.
Because it was just a make-up championship ceremony, the Pirates were definitely embarrassed to charge any ticket money, so they simply entered for free.
In order to prevent the attendance from bursting, admission is limited to 15,000 people, with fans with season tickets for next season being given priority and others on a first-come, first-served basis.
What Richard and Jordan didn't expect was that the news had just been released, and the Pirates' season tickets for next season were selling out.
Season tickets, as the name suggests, are tickets for one season, and the high price can be imagined.
The cheapest season ticket on the Pirates side is a staggering $3,900, and the most expensive season ticket is $78,000!
In just one day, the Buccaneers directly sold $12 million in season ticket revenue, directly breaking the NBA's historical record.
Even a ball market like the New York Knicks has never sold such a horrific season ticket revenue.
The popularity of the Pirates has risen to an incredible level, and almost all sports fans in North Carolina have become fans of the Buccaneers, and it is foreseeable that the market value of the Buccaneers will definitely increase a lot next season.
……
"Richard!"
"Richard!"
In the Pirate Arena, in the championship ceremony held by the Pirates team, Richard's appearance directly detonated the atmosphere of the audience, and 15,000 fans on the scene frantically chanted Richard's name.
Meritorious bishop, top head of the church, godfather of the dynasty, in the eyes of fans, these titles are too suitable for Richard.
"Dear fans, it's an honor to be given the opportunity to speak."
"How long has Michael been talking, at least half an hour, right? I thought he might talk about the end of the ceremony. After Richard took the stage, he said with a smile.
Jordan, as the host of ceremonies tonight, was excited after coming on the court, and talked directly for half an hour......
"I don't have much to say."
"These three championships are the promise I gave you at the beginning."
"I promised to bring a dynasty to Charlotte, and now I have done it."
The fans at the scene screamed in shock, they probably never dreamed five years ago that there would really be such a day.
And the day came so fast.
……
Richard didn't say much about the championship and didn't make a bold vow, such as continuing to lead the Pirates to build another dynasty.
Because this kind of thing can't be said, Richard himself doesn't know when he will get involved with the Clippers next.
The opportunity to buy the Clippers is fleeting, and if it is missed, Richard may not have such a good time in the future.
The Clippers were acquired by Ballmer, who is worth more than Paul Allen, and he will certainly not sell the Clippers.
And if the Clippers can't be acquired, Richard can't afford to buy other teams, unless the Knicks or Lakers are willing to make a move......
However, everyone knows that this is completely impossible, and it is absolutely impossible for the two teams to change hands for at least the next two decades.
Other teams certainly don't have as much market potential as the Clippers in Los Angeles, so Richard can be said to have ambitions for the Clippers.
……
On the third day of the championship, Richard took part in the team's championship parade and gave himself a vacation.
The little princess was born, and Richard wanted to accompany the mother and daughter well.
The girl's name is Mary, a rather simple and simple name, but born in such a family, her future life will definitely not be so simple.
……
"Honey, I contacted the elementary school and they asked Bit to go to the end of July to take the promotion exam." Tiana said excitedly.
The three sons are at home, and that's really going to turn the world upside down, and Tiana is now with the newborn Mary, and she doesn't have time to care about these three stinky boys.
And Richard is usually very busy, and he rarely disciplines him.
Now that these three children are sent to school, Tiana can be regarded as relieved, and it will definitely be easier in the future.
Richard nodded, it is not impossible for his three sons to enter primary school early, maybe they can be honest.
……
After giving himself a few days off, Richard is back to work, and now the Pirates still have a butt of things to do with Richard.
The first is the issue of Rondo's contract, and no one on the Pirates team will mention it if Richard doesn't say anything.
In his office, Richard interviewed Rondo, and according to the previous plan, Rondo left the team, and then straightened Curry.
Although Rondo was a little reluctant, he could only accept it gloomily.
It's better to be traded out now than to find the next home tomorrow when the contract expires.
"Coach, why don't you trade me to the Clippers, I want to go West, I want to go to the big city......" Rondo said with a smile.
He was only putting forward what he had in mind, and if Richard didn't agree, he wouldn't have a problem.
Richard nodded, he will definitely follow Rondo's opinion in this matter, the current Pirates team is not short of any chips, and the draft picks are definitely enough at the moment.
So no matter which team Rondo wants to go to, Richard is completely acceptable even if he loses.
"Okay, man, I'll ask Raheem to contact the Knicks or the Clippers, both of which are a good fit for you."
"It's all big cities, it's all a belly team, and there's a lack of strong point guards in the team, so it's a good fit for your future development." Richard said with a smile.
Rondo nodded excitedly, whether he goes to the Knicks or the Clippers, for Rondo, they are the best choice, and his favorite teams at the moment are these two teams.
He is still young, so young that he is the main controller of the dynasty team, there is a happy future waiting for him in the future, and if he joins a big city team, he will undoubtedly get more attention, which will bring him countless benefits.
Rondo's idea is not unique, with most of the young players wanting to join big city teams.
"Young man, before you leave, I have a few words of advice to share with you." Richard's face suddenly became serious, and he said solemnly to Rondo.
"No matter which team you join in the future, I hope you can learn to put yourself in your shoes and be patient with your teammates or coaches at times."
"Sometimes I want you to solve the problem in a lighter way, for example, if you have doubts about the coach's arrangement, don't blush and argue with the coach, think about it carefully, if you were a coach, would you like such a player?"
Richard doesn't want Rondo to wander around because of his personality problems, he likes Rondo as a player, and hopes that Rondo can have a happy future, at least better than normal.
If Rondo had heeded Richard's advice, he might have had a better time with his teammates and coaching staff.
"You're the smartest of our West Lafayette players, you should be able to understand what I mean, think about it when you go back, and if something tricky happens in the future, you can think about what I said today." Richard continued.
To say that Rondo is the smartest player in West Lafayette is not to exalt Rondo, but that he really thinks so.
Rondo's IQ and ball quotient are extremely top in the entire history of the NBA, but only his emotional intelligence is a little bad, and he often does things that offend people.
"Coach, are you telling the truth?"
"I'm in your mind, really the smartest West Lafayette player?" Rondo's face was full of surprise, he didn't expect that he would have such a high opinion in Richard's heart.
Rondo is confident in himself, but not arrogant, and he is well aware that there are countless players in the Silafayette group who are better than him.
But now Richard actually said that he was the smartest one, which surprised Rondo's face.
Richard nodded, "Yes, you are indeed the smartest one. ”
"But I hope you're worthy of this cleverness, I don't want to see you start wandering around after a few years of fighting."
……
After sending Rondo away, Richard pulled out his phone and called Knicks owner James Dolan.
At present, Richard's identity is different, and it is more appropriate for him to contact the other party's boss directly for this kind of blockbuster transaction.
He doesn't really want to send Rondo to the Clippers, mainly because he will probably be in charge of the Clippers in the next few years.
When the time comes, he will coach Rondo again......
With its own team building model, after arriving at a new team, it will take out valuable players in the team as chips to trade.
At that time, Rondo is expected to be sold again......
If it is sold once, it is acceptable, but if it is sold twice, then Rondo should doubt his life.
Therefore, the New York Knicks are Richard's number one trade target, and it would be good to send Rondo to New York.
At the moment, the New York Knicks are an absolute super-belly, and they have the second-to-last record in the league this season......
There is also a lack of point guards on the team, and the current lead point guard is Nate Robinson.
Little Potato's career is absolutely inspirational, with a height of only 175, but it is not easy to gain a firm foothold in the NBA.
But inspirational is inspirational, and the strength of Little Potato is really not very good.
Don't look at the just-concluded season, he can average 17 points, 3 points and 4 assists per game, as if he is a quasi-All-Star level.
But Xiao Tudou is naturally a short board on the field, and the defensive end is not exploded once or twice, and he can be exploded in 60 games in 82 games a season......
The remaining twenty or so games, that is, the situation of five or five.
It is expected that the Knicks should be happy to join Rondo, after all, they don't have any decent point guards other than small potatoes.
