Chapter 507: Paul Allen's Phone
First up is the current owner of the Pistons, Davidson Sr., who contacted Richard directly......
It was not clear on the phone, and the elder Davidson ran directly to Richard's office again.
Eighty-year-old Davidson, judging from his personal appearance of coming to Richard, really cares about Richard.
It was mainly Richard who gave him great hope......
The Pistons' record last season was not good, and Davidson Sr. didn't care, since he asked Richard to rebuild the Pistons, it was impossible for people to play anything in their first season......
That's not realistic, and Davidson's steady temperament certainly wouldn't have produced such unrealistic ideas.
By the end of his first season, Richard's actions had made Davidson Sr. happy.
First of all, at the lottery meeting, the champion was drawn directly with a fairly low chance.
and then used the champion to sign Yao Ming, a super inside line recognized by the outside world as no less than O'Neal!
Then, there is the complete rise of the Pistons, firmly sitting in the first place in the East, and the second-ranked Nets have a considerable gap from the Pistons.
In fact, if you really talk about it in the east, it really sucks......
Last season, the Nets, who were first in the East, only played a measly 52 wins, and if they were left in the West, they could only rank fifth in the West.
This is also the reason why the Eastern Conference produced a regular season MVP in the next few years, but it was not convinced by all fans, because it stands to reason that such a garbage record is actually not qualified to win the regular season MVP.
People have won more than ten more games in the West than you, and then their personal data is no worse than yours, but the regular season MVP was won by you, and anyone can be happy.
This is also the reason why this year's Pistons can sit firmly in the first place in the East even if they don't have much special strength......
There's really not much competition in the East.
Especially this year, under normal circumstances, it is even more miserable, and the first place in the East has only 50 wins after a season.
If you stay in the West, you will almost not even be able to make the playoffs, you must know that everyone in the West has played 77 wins.
……
Now Richard's piston has appeared, which is a fig leaf for the East.
The Pistons' current record is third in the league, and the Trail Blazers and Kings have a better record than the Pistons......
What is obvious is that Richard's ability to lead the team is really speechless, bringing a fragmented team directly into the pillar team in the East.
In this case, the elder Davidson naturally values Richard quite a lot.
As soon as this Richard No. 3 rule came out, old Davidson was a little anxious......
After many inquiries, he learned that Jordan and Richard were preparing to accept the new army.
This made the old man anxious, he was really ready to see the Pistons win the championship again before he closed his eyes......
Richard had given him great expectations, and now that he heard that Richard might have to run away, he couldn't sit still.
"Lee, you can't do this, you're going to break the hearts of many fans!" The old man was a little anxious, and after entering Richard's office, he said directly in a dissatisfied tone.
"Don't get excited, Mr. Davidson, it looks like you should know about this, listen to me slowly." Richard also knows that paper can't hold the fire, and the matter between himself and Jordan will definitely be known.
So at the moment, Richard is not ready to hide it, and is ready to have a good chat with old Davidson.
"Aren't there two seasons left? Don't worry, Mr. Davidson, I'm sure I'll be able to bring you the championship in these two seasons! Richard said with a smile.
Seeing Richard so relaxed, the elder Davidson was also relieved.
If Richard really has this kind of certainty of winning the championship, then this is not difficult to accept.
"Are you sure? Li, young man, it's not a good habit to talk big. ”
"It's not a big deal, Mr. Davidson, I'm very sure that I can win the championship, maybe even in the next two years!"
"You can rest assured, even if I do leave the Pistons by then, it will definitely leave a heavy glory for the Pistons."
These words directly reassured Davidson Sr., it would be good to win the championship, and what he was thinking about now was to win the championship......
He is eighty years old, who knows how many years to live, and he doesn't expect Richard to create a dynasty for him, and he can accept it if he has a championship.
……
After sending off old Davidson, Richard breathed a sigh of relief, and what he just said was also explained to old Davidson.
If he won the championship, Richard didn't talk nonsense, he was really sure.
At least in the next two years, he is sure to bring at least one championship trophy to the Pistons!
As long as he can win the championship, he can be regarded as giving an explanation to the Pistons fans......
Of course, it is also an explanation to the players under him, after they were selected by Richard, Richard had to add some luster to their careers.
……
As soon as old Davidson left, Richard's phone was blown up, and in this alliance, Richard had many enemies, but he also had many allies.
When they learned of the news, they called Richard one after another to inquire about the situation......
Richard didn't hide it, anyway, he couldn't hide it from others, and it was estimated that the big-mouthed Jordan would be publicized in a few days.
……
"Li, you kid can do it now, and you're about to become the owner of the team!" Paul Allen said with a smile on the phone.
"It's still far from you, old man, how are you feeling lately? Take good care of yourself. Richard and Paul Allen had a very close relationship, and remembering that he died of cancer recurrence at the age of only 65, I couldn't help but worry about his health.
In fact, Paul Allen was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in 83, and it was because of this disease that he left Microsoft......
But then the lymphoma recovered completely.
But what makes people sigh is that in 09 years, he was diagnosed with another kind of cancer, and this time it was not so lucky, although he achieved a phased victory against cancer, but he died nine years later.
For this kind of birth, old age, sickness and death, Richard is also quite helpless.
Although he is a mysterious system host, he is not so powerful as to tamper with the book of life and death.
Even now telling Paul Allen that his cancer will come back in a few years is useless.
How could these top rich people not have a physical examination, let alone them, even Richard himself had a physical examination every three months.
But even if it is a physical examination, the cancer should recur or must recur......
Moreover, he told Paul Allen that he might think Richard was crazy.
"Why do you kid always think of me as an old man in my seventies and eighties, man, I'm still very young......"
"I'm only fifty years old, not much older than you, don't greet me in that tone of greeting an old man!" Paul Allen was rather speechless.
Richard sighed to himself......
"It's really important to call you this time, not just to congratulate you on becoming the owner of the team." Paul Allen said with a smile on the other end of the phone.
"Something? Do the Trail Blazers need to be strengthened? Doesn't seem necessary, right? Richard wondered.
"No, it's not about work, it's about personal, my niece wants to go to Detroit to play, you help entertain for a while, the security in that place is not very good, you have to help me take care of it!" Paul Allen made a rather outlandish request......
Richard frowned, niece?!
I'm afraid it's Paul Allen's niece Tiana Allen, Lao Mei doesn't distinguish between nieces and nieces, she uses one word anyway.
This Tiana Richard is no stranger, and has seen it a few times before when the Trail Blazers held intra-team gatherings.
A little girl who was quite shy and shy, remembering that she might have been seventeen or eighteen years old a few years ago, had been following her mother and was a little shy.
Her mother is naturally Paul Allen's own sister, Jody Allen.
Just look at Tiana's surname, with her mother's surname, either it is upside down, or Jody has a child out of wedlock, and the man runs away......
Lao Mei is not popular with inverted doors, so the latter one is more likely.
Richard frowned, feeling that Paul Allen's incident was completely inexplicable.
Paul Allen has no children under his knees, so he has always treated Tiana as his own child, so he really raised her like a princess......
It's normal to think about it, their Allen family is such a descendant, it's strange if they don't spoil it.
But the more this happened, the more strange it felt to Richard......
It's good, why did this lady want to come to a place like Detroit.
Experience life?! No way......
Detroit is known as the Motor City, the city of blue-collar workers, but there is no place to experience life unless this little princess has a great dream of becoming a proletarian worker.
The more he thought about it, the stranger it became, and Richard simply asked.
"Old man, is it Tiana? Detroit isn't a fun place, or if you let her change places, I'm not sure I'll be able to take care of it......"
"Li, I can't help you in this matter, this matter is so decided, you can't run!"
"Wait for Tiana to call you, I guess she will be leaving in a few days, you are ready."
With that, Paul Allen hung up......
Richard looked confused, what are you going to do? Do you wash your buttocks......
