Knowing that mistakes can be corrected, and good is great.

Since Jacobson's apology is so sincere, there is certainly no need for Richard to continue to pursue it.

After all, these lads are not easy either......

Of course, the kind of hard-headed person who doesn't admit his mistakes, such as Williams, Richard will definitely not be soft, and he still has to do it.

……

In the game against the Suns that night, the Pistons played all the main forces, but they didn't do anything excessive on the court, and they played a friendly first game with the Suns.

The Suns' lineup is really not bad.

Even some of the players are at a level that can make Richard's eyes hot.

Marbury, Marion, Penny Hardaway and singles Joe.

Among them, Marion and singles Joe are the players who make Richard's eyes hot......

For Marion, Richard has always been thinking about it and wants to get his hands on it.

But I never got the right opportunity.

At present, Marion has risen completely, and the chances are even slimmer......

At the moment, although Marion is only the team's second scorer, in fact, in terms of on-court performance and statistics, Marion is the boss of this Suns team.

averaged 21.2 points, 9.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 2.5 steals and 1.6 blocks per game, and the statistics were terrifying.

This is a real top-notch presence on both offensive and defensive ends......

Who doesn't love a player like that? The Suns are not stupid, how could they be willing to sell Marion.

I'm afraid that on the Pistons' side, even if they trade Nash for Marion, they won't be able to agree.

At the very least, the Pistons have to add an Oku......

……

As for Joe Johnson, who is only playing a semi-bench and semi-starter position with the Suns at the moment, Richard has a chance to get his hands on it.

It may not even cost too much.

……

After the game, Richard walked onto the court to shake hands with the Suns head coach and chat with each other.

"Coach Lee, congratulations, the Pistons have a chance to compete for the championship today." Frank Johnson said with a smile on his face.

Richard smiled and waved his hand: "It's still early, the players are too young at the moment, take your time." ”

"On the contrary, it's your Suns, the current lineup is doing well, if you can get another reliable insider, I think there is a chance to make it to the top half of the West."

Hearing this, Frank Johnson shook Richard's hand excitedly, and he couldn't agree with Richard's words anymore.

Did you see that? The Suns can't play, and that's not the reason for Kidd's departure at all.

It's the team's lack of a reliable interior line......

These are the words of Richard himself, does anyone question Richard?!

"That's right, that's right! Coach Richard, you are really too wise to speak up about my troubles! ”

"We really lack a reliable inside line now, hey, I really envy you......"

"Such a good selection eye, so many strong interior players in the team, it's so happy!" Frank Johnson gave Richard a small slap on the back.

Richard laughed, "Take your time, team building this thing, there is no rush for a while, if there is a shortage of centers, then select a good seedling through the draft, and then cultivate it yourself, if it really doesn't work, it's okay to trade it, anyway, the road is walked by people, there will always be a way to solve the problem." ”

I'm afraid that even a fool can see Richard's purpose now......

This is paving the way for a trade with the Suns for Joe and making Frank Johnson aware of the Suns' problems first.

"That's right, Coach Richard!"

"Seriously, I admire you a lot, you're definitely the best head coach in this league."

"Everything you say is my inner thoughts."

Frank Johnson simply regards Richard as his confidant at the moment, because Richard's words speak to his heart.

In tonight's game, the Suns didn't lose much, just a seven-point difference.

"The question right now for us with the Suns is how to bring in a qualified interior player."

"You can also see from the course of tonight's game that the Pistons' interior has been pressing us down."

"Of course, it is not an overnight thing to strengthen the interior line, I also chatted with Coach Richard for a while just now, and it is very rewarding, I hope that in the coming days, I can strengthen the interior lineup as soon as possible."

At the Suns' post-game press conference, Frank Johnson said something confusing.

But those who care can still hear what Frank means.

That is, it takes time to build a team, and the management must not rush to fire my squid, I have a relationship with Richard now, and in the future, it is possible to get an inside ...... from Richard

A rookie head coach is definitely walking on thin ice, and he is very cautious in everything he says and does.

……

Waiting for the Pistons' post-game press conference, Richard praised the Suns' Jacobson, saying that this kid knows his mistakes and can change them, and he will definitely gain a firm foothold in the league in the future.

He also praised the head coach of the Suns, saying that he is a very thoughtful head coach and will definitely lead the Suns to play well in the West in the future.

The reporters in the audience were surprised, did Richard take the wrong medicine today? It's so gentle that he praised the Suns several times in a row?

Is this still the Li cannon who catches and sprays whom?

They feel that this must not be so simple, there must be some conspiracy, Li Cannon is going to trap people?

……

If there was any conspiracy, it wouldn't be, but Richard really wanted to make a deal with the Suns.

That is to trade Oku for the Suns' singles Joe, of course, it is impossible to trade alone, and the Suns have to pay the price of additional draft picks.

Under normal circumstances, although Oku's strength is good, but in terms of rank, it is far inferior to singles Joe, even if Oku is used to replace Joe Johnson, Richard will definitely not lose.

It's just that the potential of singles Joe has not been tapped yet, and Oku is already up-and-coming, plus the interior line is more valuable at the moment, so if the Suns want Oku, a high-quality interior line, they only use a single Joe to exchange, which is obviously not enough.

Now Richard wants to single-handedly fight Joe again, and he wants to pit other people's draft picks, no matter how he says, he has to be kind to others and release some kindness to others.

……

Of course, before trading Oku, Richard will give Oku as much time as possible to play and try to make Oku play a good stat.

After the next game of the Trail Blazers, you can start fattening Oku.

Aim to strike a deal with the Suns before All-Star Weekend begins.

Richard is not worried about whether the Suns want Oku or not, as long as Richard reveals a little bit about the idea of trading Oku, I am afraid that there will be many teams in the league who are moving about it.

The Suns are short of a center at the moment, and it's no wonder if they don't like it, and then they won't let Richard handle it.

……

Next up for the Pistons will be their strongest opponent so far this season, the Portland Trail Blazers.

This is a team built by Richard himself, although there are some changes to the current lineup compared to when Richard left, but the overall framework is still there.

They are still one of the strongest teams in the league.

Although the Pistons also played the Trail Blazers twice last season, because Yao Ming has not yet entered the team, they are all paddling.

And now that Yao Ming is already in the lineup, Richard can't paddle anymore, and he wants to use the Trail Blazers as a touchstone for this Piston.

Let's see how much gold this piston really is.

……

The Rose Garden Arena is now full of countless fans.

Richard is back, and their Portland enforcers are back.

Although Richard is now coaching other teams, Portland fans will never forget the glory that Richard brought to the Trail Blazers.

Above the arena, the jersey with Richard's name on it hung high, which looked quite out of place......

But the fans also feel quite normal, and the Portland enforcers deserve that kind of glory.

"Richard, welcome home!"

"Portland Enforcer!"

"The door is always open to you!"

When Richard entered with the Pistons, the entire Rose Garden Arena was boiling, and countless fans cheered wildly for Richard.

Richard also waved his hand, and he still had quite feelings for this place that he had been fighting for for five years.

"Coach, I didn't expect your popularity in Portland to be so high." Yao Ming said in surprise.

"It's normal, when you can lead the Pistons to build a dynasty, even if you leave the Pistons, you can still enjoy this kind of treatment." Richard said with a smile.

"Well, tonight's opponent is the Portland Trail Blazers, one of the strongest teams in the league!"

"Where their strength is, I'm afraid you all know very well!"

"This game, Da Yao, you and Clark must be tough!"

"Believe me, if you don't get tough, you'll definitely be abused by those two guys......" Richard said with a faint smile.

"Don't worry, coach, I'm not worse than the two of them, Yao Ming is definitely better than the two of them, we will definitely not lose to the two of them tonight!" Clark patted his chest, quite confident.

With the Trail Blazers now playing a super start to a six-game winning streak, the Pistons are also full of confidence.

The Auburn combination has been a super inside combination that has been famous in this league for a long time, but the newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger, and Yao Ming and Clark are really not afraid of the Auburn combination.

Yao Ming is also confident at the moment.

Richard smiled and nodded: "Yes, this is the newcomer brought out by me Richard, play well on the field!" ”

"Gerrard, Bale, you must do a good job of defense, the outside attack firepower of the Trail Blazers is also quite terrifying, don't give the other party a chance to explode!"

Ginobili is gone, Nowitzki is gone, but the Trail Blazers' outside lineup is still quite strong.

Reed and Stackhouse have quite good offensive firepower from the outside.

Stackhouse is okay to say, mainly because Reed is growing quite well now, and he has become the outside core of the Trail Blazers' mighty team.

At present, he can average 21.7 points per game in the Trail Blazers, second only to Xiao Ao, ranking second on the team!

As for the bearded Davis, with 20.7 points and 9.8 assists, he is already one of the top No. 1 players in the league.

There are even times when the bearded man is not left behind in a direct conversation with Kidd.

With the referee's whistle, the starters of both sides have already begun to appear.

All the fans are calm and waiting for the start of this super battle.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see the strength of the Pistons this season, and I am afraid that the Nets, which are currently the No. 1 in the East, are not the opponents of this Pistons.

It can be said that the Pistons are the strongest team in the East at the moment!

As for the Trail Blazers, although they did not reach the Finals last season, it was for a reason after all, and their hard power is still the top in the West.

The duel between these two super giants in the east and west can definitely be regarded as a super war.

Seeing that the starters of both sides began to appear, Richard had a heroic spirit in his heart.

Both of these teams were built by themselves, and at the moment they are all the best superpowers in the league.

Who else in this alliance can have such ability but themselves?!
