On the morning before the game, the Pistons will be ready to assemble at 12 o'clock before flying to New York for their opener game on the road.

Richard asked David Lee to arrive at his office an hour early, and he was going to have a good chat with David Lee.

David Lee's heart knot must be untied as soon as possible, otherwise, when Richard leaves the Pistons, David Lee estimates that it will be completely wasted.

A player who is not enterprising and is not the kind of talented player himself has no place in the NBA at all.

……

David Li's eyebrows and eyes were full of sorrow, and the whole person looked lazy, it should have been not long after he got up.

Richard glanced at David Lee coldly, and suddenly some anger swelled up.

It's eleven o'clock at noon, and this guy has just gotten up for a long time, and he can't bear it.

"David, let's get straight to the point." Richard's face was serious.

When David Lee saw Richard's expression, he also cheered up.

"If you continue like this, you'll be ruined!"

"Completely abolished, no team will be willing to sign you, you will be a shame for us West Lafayette!"

"That's right, it's a shame, our players from West Lafayette have never had players as weak as you!"

Richard's tone was quite heavy, and David Lee's face was red and his ears were red.

Especially that sentence of shame, it was like a sharp knife into David Lee's heart.

Once upon a time, he was proud to be a West Lafayette player, and when he saw his predecessors in the NBA win the championship, he was also very honored!

But now, in Richard's mouth, he David Lee is about to become a disgrace to Siraffayette......

"Coach, I ......" David Lee struggled to explain something.

But it was interrupted by Richard in a rude and direct way.

"You what you! I don't want to hear any excuses! ”

"Me, Richard!"

"My parents died when I was a child, and my family was surrounded by walls."

"There is no choice but to succeed!"

"What about you?"

"You can't eat basketball, what can you do?!"

"In addition to inheriting your grandfather's dozens of chain stores, three buildings, and hundreds of millions of dollars, what else do you say?"

"What are you?!"

Richard poked David Lee's chest and said hatefully.

This is not a joke of Richard, David Lee's grandfather is really a big tyrant, with a lot of assets under his name, I am afraid that he is richer than at least one-third of the owners of the NBA, and he donated seventy or eighty million dollars just for charitable donations......

"I don't have any talent, coach." David Lee lowered his head, his eyes were red, and he was very aggrieved in his heart.

"Shit, who the fuck said you weren't talented?!"

"You find it for me, I'll take someone to burn down his shop!"

"You can enter West Lafayette, who dares to fart and say that you have no talent, any West Lafayette player is the pride of the sky!"

"Put away your chirping girl, start for Lao Tzu tomorrow night, if you can't make a decent data, I have to let your big brother come to see for himself, what a big face their little brother has lost to them!"

……

David Lee was already in a blank mind that was yelled at by Richard, and he only heard about burning people's shops, the pride of the sky, the starter, and the disgrace......

……

roared at David Lee, and Richard naturally felt uncomfortable in his heart.

can only be solved so rudely in the current situation of David Lee.

……

At eight o'clock the next night, the 2003-2004 regular season opener officially began.

The Detroit Pistons take on the New York Knicks on the road.

To the surprise of Knicks fans and reporters at the scene, the Pistons' roster today looked rather odd......

Yao Ming and Clark were not in the squad, and if you take a closer look, these two big insiders actually put Richard on the injury list at the beginning of the game.

The two were certainly not injured, that was clear to all.

By the time the Pistons' starting lineup came on, everyone almost knew Richard's intentions.

The Pistons' starting lineup: center Milicic, power forward David Lee, small forward Josh Howard, point guard Ragabel and point guard Nash.

In this game, Richard actually put three pure newcomers directly into the starting lineup, and two of the interior players were not very good players in the previous preseason.

Fools can see that Richard is ready to temper the newcomer.

……

The Knicks started dying again this offseason that just ended.

In the offseason, they spent big chips, bringing in Marbury, Keith Van Horn, Venbeck, Penny Hardaway, Mutombo, ...... from the Suns

Uninformed fans, rashly seeing this list, I am afraid they will shout God, the Knicks are going to win the championship.

Think about it in this era, the Knicks' setup can be called NC.

It's really brain-dead, and among the sub-players who got it, all of them have big names, but each of them is not easy to use.

There are quite powerful ones at their peak, such as Uncle Mu, such as Penny Hardaway......

But these two are almost retiring, and it is difficult to play efficient games on the court.

……

Richard can almost see the plan for the Knicks' strange team.

They don't care if you have the strength or not, as long as you are famous and can attract fans, then take it first.

Perhaps in the entire league, the Knicks' team lineup construction is the easiest, because they don't have any lineup construction at all, and they are completely messed together.

It's not a matter of a day or two, it can even be said to be a Knicks tradition, whether it is before or in the future, the probability of a garbage contract in the Knicks team must be the highest in the league.

If it weren't for their shit luck and the selection of a god like Willis Reed, I'm afraid they might not have won the championship in the long history of the team.

Anyway, the Knicks team just looks bluffing and messes together a set of famous players, before the regular season starts, Knicks fans are like chickens, shouting to win the championship......

As a result, as soon as the regular season was played, it immediately showed its original form.

The Knicks' starting lineup is also on the lineup, with Tim Thomas, Kurt Thomas, Keith Van Horn, Alan Houston and Marbury.

may also be watching Dazhi's success in the small forward position, Keith Van Horn, a player who entered the league at the same time as Dazhi and has a similar style of play, is now also starting to take Dazhi's route.

……

"Doot toot!" The referee blew the whistle for the start of the match.

"Fuck me, David, I'm going to see your hard work tonight!" Richard stood on the sidelines and shouted into the arena.

David Lee has a lot of mixed feelings, and he knows very well that this opportunity to start is not easy to come by.

At the moment, there are not too many players on this Pistons team who are more qualified than him to sit in the starting power forward position.

Not to mention Clark, Boozer and David West alone performed much better than David Lee in the previous preseason session!

Now Richard has given himself a precious chance to start the opening game, and if it is still that half-dead performance, David Lee knows that he is almost finished.

No matter how much Richard wanted to help himself, he couldn't help him at all.

……

"Fight, anyway, fight!" David Lee cheered up.

He had to fight, and if he really didn't get a foothold in the NBA in the end, as Richard said, what hope was there for his future?!

Can I only go back and inherit my grandfather's property?

……

Milicic made a jump to get the first offensive possession for the Pistons.

In terms of physical fitness, Milicic couldn't find fault at all and won the jump ball with an absolute advantage.

At the beginning, Nash passed the ball directly and decisively to David Lee, who turned around and shot directly after receiving the ball.

Richard's pre-game shouting, as well as David Lee's status as Silafayette, were the reasons why Nash passed the ball to David Lee this time.

Players with a high ball IQ generally have a high IQ, and it is impossible for Nash not to see Richard's thoughts at this moment.

After scoring the mid-range shot, David Lee settled down a little in his heart, and it seemed that he was feeling good tonight.

……

The ball switched and it was the Knicks' turn to play the offensive round.

Richard tonight is mainly trying to give David Lee the confidence to make him realize the potential in himself, and the Knicks are a pretty good opponent.

Their inner line is weak, which is just used to practice for David Lee.

If he was playing a team like the Trail Blazers, Spurs or Lakers tonight, Richard would certainly not have started David Lee......

It is estimated that the confidence will not come out at that time, but it will be more pessimistic.

……

Peak David Lee has an average of about 20+12 data per game, and his jumping ability is not bad, and he has won the national slam dunk king before......

However, it is not the NBA's slam dunk king, but the dunk king at the Golden Arches All-Star Game.

At present, David Lee has been beating the opponent's interior line under Nash's feeding, although the shooting rate is not very high, but the data is also rising.

……

Halfway through the first quarter, Richard took advantage of the timeout to replace Milicic with Boozer.

Milicic still hasn't found the rhythm of the NBA game, and the court is at a loss.

Although Richard's main purpose in this game is still to train his troops, he definitely doesn't want to lose to a team like the Knicks.

Now that the second half of the game is over, the Knicks are tightly biting the score of the Pistons, and the two sides are basically in a tie situation.

When Boozer came on the court, the Pistons immediately took the initiative.

Boozer plays center, which is naturally a little too short, but you must know that Knicks center Tim Thomas is only 208 cm, so Boozer has no height disadvantage.

Boozer is definitely a typical scheming boy, and after his debut, he used his strong body to card David Lee in various positions to help David Lee brush up the data......

David Lee was a little embarrassed.

After such a long period of contact with Richard, Boozer can probably understand Richard's temperament.

Tonight, I will help David Lee well, and Richard will definitely not be indifferent, and he may be able to give himself a little more time to appear.

By the end of the first quarter, David Lee had already scored 12 points and 4 rebounds, which was a world of difference compared to his previous preseason performance.

After several preseason games, David Lee didn't get a total of 12 points and 4 rebounds......

Many Pistons' fans who watched the live broadcast of this game are relieved at the moment, and it seems that David Lee still has some potential, at least it can't be said to be a parallel import.
