Kobe Bryant came to him early in the morning, but Richard didn't expect it......

He thought Kobe Bryant cried all night last night and was still sleeping.

Having been killed by the Trail Blazers for two consecutive years, the current mood of the Lakers players can be imagined......

"Boy, you're not here to denounce me, are you?"

"I was really sleepy yesterday, and you should know the power of Big Ben's snoring......" Richard said with a wry smile.

He's also helpless......

He didn't want to sleep on the field either......

However, there is no way, the body is not under your own control.

"No, coach, I'm getting married......" Kobe Bryant was rarely shy, and his face was slightly red.

Richard paused for a moment, married?!

Isn't Vanessa just turning 18 now? How much do you love Vanessa, you old boy......

"When are you ready?" Richard asked.

"July 15th, you must all come over by then......" Speaking of this, Kobe Bryant was a little cramped.

No one from his parents, relatives and friends came, and no one from his teammates and coaches came, which made Kobe Bryant feel quite uncomfortable.

But he knew that Richard would definitely come, and his gang of Silafayette brothers would definitely come.

It is enough to have them coming......

Richard blinked, not because Kobe told them to go, Richard must know Kobe's current embarrassment.

As a groom, there is not a single guest ......

It's not right, in fact, Kobe Bryant still brought people and brought a few bodyguards......

Quite embarrassing!

What do other women's women think, and where will Kobe's face go......

It's no wonder that Kobe Bryant asked Richard that they must go, it's a matter of men's face.

What really hurts Richard is that Kobe Bryant chose this wedding date.

It's so damn unlucky, it's a domestic Halloween in July and a half!

Although it is the lunar calendar in China and the solar calendar in Laomei, this is also quite unlucky......

"Ahem, boy, listen to my advice, change the day, this day is quite bad!"

"Why don't you choose July 16?" Richard said with a wry smile.

Kobe Bryant was stunned, "Huh? Why do you want to change the time, do you all have something to do on July 15th? ”

"You just have something to do with us, go back and discuss it with Vanessa, that day is not a good day to get married anyway!"

Richard said to Kobe with a wry smile.

There are some things that it is better to believe in them......

Although Richard is an atheist, many strange things have happened around him in his previous life.

"Okay, coach, then I'll go back and talk to Vanessa about it......"

"However, whether it's the 15th or the 16th, you'll all have to come here......" Kobe said eagerly.

Richard nodded, he definitely had to go, and he had to call some more people to go to support Kobe Bryant.

"Don't worry, boy, you'll definitely have an unforgettable memory when the time comes!"

……

After Bryant left, Big Ben asked Richard with a puzzled expression.

Because Kobe Bryant is really a little weird, he almost begged Richard to go to the wedding, which is not like Kobe's style.

Especially since they were just eliminated by the Trail Blazers last night......

Kobe Bryant's presence here today is a rather strange thing.

In Big Ben's opinion, Kobe Bryant is more likely to be sulking.

Richard waved his hand, "You'll know when the time comes......"

……

Kobe's encounter actually made Richard feel a little distressed, and in his opinion, Kobe's pursuit of love is actually nothing wrong.

However, Kobe's parents looked down on Vanessa......

One is the religious problem of the two families, which basically does not occur in China, but it is relatively normal in Laomei.

The second is that Kobe's parents feel that Vanessa is not worthy of their son.

His son is already the top star in this league, with an annual salary of tens of millions, and Vanessa? A little girl who didn't graduate from high school, and her family is not even complete......

In the eyes of Kobe's parents, the person who really deserves Kobe is Kobe's ex-girlfriend Brandi Norwood.

Brandi is a well-known female R&B singer in the United States, and may be Kobe's first love.

When Kobe Bryant was at his high school prom, he took Brandi to attend......

In the eyes of Kobe's parents, this is the real match, Brandi has his own career, and he is about the same age as Kobe, only one year younger than Kobe.

And it seems that Brandi also has real feelings for Kobe, and he also wrote a song specifically for Kobe, "That Boy Belongs to Me", which was also nominated by the Grammys.

Of course, these reasons are secondary......

The main reason is that Kobe's parents don't want Kobe to get married so soon.

Once they get married, Kobe and Vanessa will be a separate family, and it will not be so easy for them to get money from Kobe......

……

So Kobe's wedding, they won't go anyway.

Richard is very aware of these bullshit things about Kobe Bryant at the moment, so he has some sympathy for Kobe Bryant in his heart.

Even if Kobe Bryant doesn't say it, as long as he learns the news that Kobe is going to get married, Richard will definitely bring someone over.

In Richard's view, these West Lafayette players are like his own sons.

My son is getting married, can I not go as a father......

If the West Lafayette players knew what Richard thought, I am afraid they would be crazy about complaining.

We use you as a coach, but you want to be our father......

……

Originally, Richard was planning to return to Portland with the Trail Blazers at noon today.

But the plan did not change quickly, and at ten o'clock in the morning, Richard received a notice from the Alliance.

Richard was fined $10,000 for missing an official press conference......

There is a difference between official and unofficial press conferences, and the league needs the media to help them create news topics, so it is naturally impossible to offend the media, such as coaches and players, in fact, their contracts require them to cooperate with the league's propaganda.

Some official press conferences have to be attended, otherwise you will have to pay a fine.

And last night's post-game press conference, which was the press conference after the Western Conference Finals, must be the official press conference, and the league directly issued a ticket to Richard who was absent from the press conference.

And asked the Trail Blazers to hold a post-game press conference at two o'clock in the afternoon.

Richard was rather speechless, and he knew very well that this must be the Los Angeles media suing the League......

This kind of thing is generally not held accountable by the people, and it is impossible for the alliance to earn this 10,000 US dollars.

Last night, countless Los Angeles reporters were waiting to interview Richard, but it turned out that Zhang Weiping came.

Zhang Weiping's sleek personality, how can he provide reporters with any news material, and he doesn't know anything about the reporters' questions.

This made the Los Angeles reporter crazy, and in anger, he directly sued the NBA Board of Trustees.

For the Los Angeles market, of course, the league is extremely important, a Lakers with a Clippers, these two teams have created about one-sixth of the league's market value, how can they not value it.

……

"Coach Richard, in last night's game, you ...... Asleep? "A Los Angeles reporter is absolutely knowingly asking, and a blind person can tell that Richard was asleep last night......

"Nope! Non-existent! I didn't fall asleep......" Richard came straight to a denial trifecta.

The reporters in the audience rolled their eyes, it's all like this, and they still want to deny it?

Can you Richard get face......

Seeing that the reporters were rolling their eyes, Richard said, "Well, I did fall asleep......"

"Coach Richard, are you doing this to show your contempt for the Lakers?"

"As far as I know, in the entire history of the NBA, there has never been a coach sleeping on the sidelines!"

"You're the first!"

"You are acting without sportsmanship and contempt for the essence of competitive sports!"

The reporter who asked the question, at least eighty percent likely to be a Lakers fan, became more and more angry at the moment, with anger in his tone.

was counted down by this reporter like a cannonball, Richard not only did not get angry, but was happy.

"And then?"

Richard said with a grin.

"And then what can you do with me?"

"Is there a rule in the league that coaches are not allowed to sleep on the sidelines? Didn't you? Don't say that one of my coaches sleeps on the sidelines, even if the players sleep on the field, this is not against the rules of the league, right? ”

The more Richard spoke, the smile on his face grew stronger, teasing the die-hard Lakers fan with interest.

"There is a first case of everything, and there are many things that I Richard did with the first case, what is there to make a fuss about!"

"The only all-win season in the entire history of the NBA was played by me Richard, and this is the first all-win season!"

"The first case of a dynasty manager under the age of forty, what did I say? Am I proud? ”

The reporters in the audience are already about to collapse, good guys, this Western Decisive has just ended, and you are so sure that you can reign?

Well, it's true that there is an almost 100% probability of a dynasty, but you can't say it now......

The reporter who asked the question was choked by Richard and didn't know what to say, and couldn't find a way to refute Richard's words.

Say Richard is not the head coach of the dynasty yet? There is no point in saying such things......

"As for what kind of sportsmanship you are talking about, this is really laughing at me!"

"It's not Lao Tzu who plays, what's wrong with Lao Tzu sleeping on the sidelines? I'm a head coach, I'm going to tell you a bullshit moral! ”

"And you said that the essence of competitive sports, could it be that the essence of your cognition is friendship first, winning or losing second?"

"Why don't you go and talk to the Lakers about this, and see if they are willing to admit defeat and win each other's friendship when they are willing to enter the finals!"

"The essence of competitive sports is to win games, sorry, we pioneers do the essence of competitive sports!"

The more Richard spoke, the happier he became, and the feeling of choking others being completely speechless was quite good.

……

The reporters in the audience, among whom there are many Los Angeles Lakers fans, are all red-faced by Richard at the moment.

Richard is completely with the attitude of what can you do with me......

Go to bed?! That's right, Lao Tzu just slept......

What can you do with me?

Reporters really can't do anything with Richard, let alone these reporters, the Lakers and the league management committee can't do anything with Richard, mainly because the league doesn't have regulations in this regard.

Who says coaches aren't allowed to sleep on the sidelines?

There is no such provision at all......

So no one can do anything to Richard, no matter how arrogant Richard's attitude is, they can only endure it.

……

After the press conference, Richard led the team back to Portland to prepare for the next Finals.

In fact, there is nothing to prepare, the Trailblazers are all like wolves and tigers at the moment, just waiting for the finals to start, and they will complete the great cause of the dynasty in less than half a month in the next half a month!

Although the 76ers are the brother team of the Trail Blazers, the gap between the 76ers and the Trail Blazers is really not small in terms of strength.

The odds of being swept by the Trail Blazers are quite high......

This is something that everyone knows, even on the 76ers' side.

……

Richard is now more melancholy, now that he is about to win the championship, how to explain to his players that he is leaving the team when the time comes.

It's already been agreed with Paul Allen, and Richard doesn't have to explain to Paul Allen.

It's just this group of players, and Richard is really a little hard to talk about.

Big Ben has been with him for seven years, and Xiao Ao has also been with him for five years......

If these two people knew that Richard was about to leave the team, would they have any opinions in their hearts?

Big Ben, Junior O, Nowitzki, Kirilenko, Ginobili, Artest, Byron Davis, Ricky Davis, Robinson, Curry Sr., Lewis, and Michael Reed.

Of the twelve, Big Ben and Little Ao have been with him for a long time, and of course, Robinson and Curry Sr. have been with Richard for a long time, but these two veterans are not West Lafayette players.

After this season, Robinson's contract with Curry Sr. has also expired, and it should be difficult for the two of them to get a contract extension for the Trail Blazers.

There's no way, business is business, these two people are really not young, and there are so many newcomers in the Trailblazers team at the moment, there is basically no place for these two people.

Robinson is okay, even if the Trail Blazers don't renew his contract, he is still quite good now, and he can get the last big contract with other teams.

As for the old Curry, it is estimated that he is going to retire.

It's just right that Richard can leave with Curry Sr. and let Curry Sr. be his assistant coach.

Among the players of West Lafayette, Big Ben and Xiao Ao are undoubtedly the players with the most honors at hand.

Both of these two have their own Finals MVP trophies, and Xiao Ao's trophy has not yet been obtained, but it has been decided by Richard, and he still has three championship rings in hand, and Big Ben still has two DPOY honors in his hand.

Even if it is a double MVP Kobe, it is not necessarily better than Auburn.

As for the others, except for Ricky, although they are all West Lafayette players, they have not followed Richard for a long time, and in terms of feelings, they are certainly not as deep as the two Auburn.

Before the Finals began, Ricky Davis licked his face to curry favor with Richard......

The reason, Richard naturally knows it.

This second fool probably wants to get more playing time in the finals to see if he can impact the finals MVP.

Not to mention, if Richard gave him enough time to appear, this second fool would really be able to get FMVP!

But Richard is clearly not going to get Ricky Davis to get his way......

This thing has already been declared death by Richard, and there is no possibility of saving it at all!

Even if Richard has a crush on Ricky Davis now, there is no way to change Ricky's fate.

The good fortune of the big horse monkey has been tied to Ricky's body.

The good luck of this big horse monkey is not quite the same as the mad dog lingering, the mad dog lingering is the effect during the binding period, while the big horse monkey is a continuous effect, and after using it on its body, the effect has always existed......

So, in Richard's eyes, Ricky Davis is completely finished.

……

Soon, the first battle of the finals began.

When Iverson and the others came to Portland, they first met Richard.

The 76ers twins were apparently a little unhappy with Richard's previous Los Angeles press conference, and both of them were in a huff......

Iverson yelled that he had to let Richard treat him to dinner and slaughter Richard properly.

Although they were dissatisfied, they also knew that Richard was deliberately angry with Los Angeles reporters when he said that.

Richard naturally agreed to come down in a hurry, anyway, Kobe Bryant will get married in more than a month, and when the time comes, he will take these two boys to have a good meal, and he doesn't have to spend money on it anyway......

After the first game, Xiao Ao exploded with 32 points, 14 rebounds and 3 blocks, and almost completely broke the 76ers' interior line by himself!

As for Ricky Davis, he was pressed on the bench by Richard and didn't even get a second of playing time.

In the next two games, Ricky Davis still incarnated as a water cooler keeper and didn't get the slightest playing time at all, as for Xiao Ao, it was a game that broke out and cut quite terrifying statistics!

Before, some people were not convinced by the title of the second center forward of the Little Olympic League, but now they have to accept it!

After three games, averaging 30 points, 13 rebounds and 3 blocks per game, isn't such a terrifying statistic enough to qualify as the league's second center?!

Even if the first center is big O'Neal, I'm afraid he can only get such data in the finals, right?

O'Neal is quite sad at the moment, and he has only played in the finals once in his entire career, and he has been swept away.

averaged 28 points, 12.5 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game, which is really not better than Xiao Ao's statistics in this series......

……

In the blink of an eye, the Trail Blazers are already leading the Philadelphia 76ers by a score of 3:0.

Just when everyone thought that Richard would lead the team to sweep the 76ers neatly, what broke them down was that the Trail Blazers actually lost Game 4......

If you want to say that the pioneers didn't release water here, they won't believe it if they are killed!

In this game, the Trail Blazers were almost messing around, especially Auburn, and the two basically gave up the defense of the penalty area, allowing Iverson to score 42 points in the Trail Blazers' restricted area and directly led the team to win the game.

However, when others asked Richard if he was in the G4 tonight, he didn't admit it......

Of course, everyone knows that in this G4 game, the Trailblazers must not have used all their strength.

Richard thinks about sweeping the 76ers all the time, it's really too ugly, and the 76ers Gemini is very embarrassed.

The main thing is to save some face for the Gemini......

Of course, the more important reason is that Richard wants to win the championship on his home turf!

The first two championships were won on the road, and both swept the opponent 4:0.

This time, Richard wanted to try what it was like to win at home......

If this release really led to the 76ers' Jedi counterattack, they killed the Trail Blazers when they were 3:0 behind.

Then Richard really has no complaints at all, and the 76ers have the ability.

The chance of this happening, in Richard's opinion, is less than one in a thousand......

……

Richard wanted to take advantage of this victory to announce something.
