The Spurs players had all left the game, and Richard found a chair on the bench and sat down.

The whole stadium was boiling over, and the Buccaneers won their first championship trophy in franchise history, and tonight was destined to be a night to remember.

Jordan ran over and handed Richard a microphone.

"Li, while the podium is not yet built, let's say a few words to the fans first!"

"We won, we really won, God, I feel like I'm dreaming!"

Richard waved his hand, he was really in no mood to say anything now.

"Okay, Michael, come on, I'm really tired."

"The season is finally over and I need to rest for a few days."

Richard said with a wry smile.

Jordan nodded, he naturally knew Richard's hard work this season, and compared with Richard, it was not too easy.

"Thank you, Lee."

……

The championship awarding process, Richard has gone through it six times this time, and he is very familiar with this process.

The first is that he has won enough championships, and the second is that this time he has not won beautifully, so even if he walks on the podium and receives the championship trophy from Stern, Richard is not particularly excited.

But there are still smiles, and there must still be them.

Entering the league in '96, Richard won three championships in five years with the Trail Blazers, two championships in three years with the Pistons, and one championship in three years with the Pirates.

In eleven years, Richard has won six championship trophies, which is a great achievement, and the fans at the scene stood up and applauded vigorously the moment Richard lifted the trophy.

Richard deserves this applause, and after winning this championship trophy, Richard has only one total championship left behind the Zen master.

Zen Master is the head coach with the most championships among the active head coaches, and fans believe that it will not take long for Richard to catch up with Zen Master, or even surpass Zen Master.

The FMVP was finally won by Milicic, who averaged a triple-double in these seven games, and deserved to win this FMVP.

Originally, Richard thought that after Milicic got this FMVP, he would complete his original task of saving the glory of the center.

The requirement of that task is to make Milicic a top interior lineman, and according to Richard's estimate, he has won the FMVP, and he must already be considered a top interior lineman.

But the prompt sound of the completion of the system task did not sound, which made Richard a little helpless.

Milicic now has the All-Star MVP and Finals MVP, and has also been selected to the All-NBA Second Team, which should already be considered a top interior line.

But since the system doesn't admit it, Richard can't help it......

According to Richard's guess, maybe Milicic still needs a regular season MVP so that Richard can complete the task.

This season is over, and we can only figure out how to do it next season.

However, even if he failed to complete Milicic's task this time, Richard also received some system rewards for winning the championship and tying the record for the shortest time for the Bucks to win the championship.

Although there are no item rewards, you can get four valuable Residence Points and a primary injury scroll.

The Bucks, like the Buccaneers, are both team-building champions for three years.

If a new army can win the championship in such a short period of time, it is natural that there are big hands.

The Bucks' big hand is Abdul-Jabbar......

And the big hand of the pirates is Richard.

……

Richard then had three days off to participate in the team's championship parade, and Jordan spent his days enjoying as if he had won the lottery, eager to carry the championship trophy on his head......

Richard was much calmer, and Jordan was thrilled because it was his first championship as a team manager, which was just routine for Richard.

If Richard can win the championship as a player, I'm afraid he will now be as eager to carry the championship trophy on his head as Jordan.

By the time the championship parade was over, Richard had wanted to rest well, but he was too tired this season.

But there are so many things that need to be solved in the team that Richard has to decide on these key matters.

Richard had no choice but to give up his plan to take a leave of absence and return to work.

The first thing the team has to solve is the next draft meeting.

Because the finals ended too late, the time of this year's draft was also postponed, and the time was scheduled for June 29.

Richard must go to this draft meeting, and the draft cannot be done without Richard.

And before the draft began, Richard had to deal with trade offers from more than a dozen teams.

These teams are now coveting Richard's rookies, and some are even willing to trade their first-round picks.

But Richard is not ready to buy the '07 draft pick at the moment, because he has enough draft picks, and he even wants to sell some draft picks to go out.

The Lakers were eliminated by the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals, so they were the most determined to make up for it, and Bryant contacted Richard as soon as possible.

"Coach, we want to buy the Dakona kid, let's go, what price do we have to pay?"

"If we can get the Dakona kid, we can definitely take out the Spurs!" In order to win the championship, Kobe Bryant has already pulled down his face and begged Richard.

"What else do you Lakers have to sell right now? You should know the value of Darko, I'm afraid the Lakers will have to trade you for Darko. Richard said with a smile.

Richard doesn't mean that the current Milicic can compare to Kobe Bryant in terms of league status and strength.

It's that Milicic is too cost-effective, with an annual salary of only 10 million, and even less than 10 million now, he can play this kind of performance, and if the Lakers want to get Milicic, I'm afraid a big book is not enough.

"Coach, you're kidding again, I don't want to continue to change teams, and now the Lakers are fine." Kobe said with a wry smile.

"You kid, don't pretend to be garlic with me, the Dactropics are your first target, but you still have a spare tire, if I guessed correctly, it's the grizzly bear......"

"Shhhh Bryant hurriedly interrupted Richard.

"You Lakers don't fight Darko's idea, I can't sell him, besides, you Lakers originally traded a lot of money, and you can't sell the draft picks in the next few years, what do you use to trade Darko."

"Let's go chase the spare tire, it's more promising." Richard said with a smile.

……

After hanging up Kobe's phone, Richard breathed a sigh of relief, the big trouble of the Western Spurs is already a headache, and he sees that there is another strong Laker.

It will be more and more difficult to win the championship in the future, and if the Pirates don't improve their roster, do they want to build a dynasty? The odds are too small and too small.

Stern can favor the Buccanes this season, and that may not be the case in the future.

"Are Bob, Alonzo and Gary ready for the retirement ceremony?" Richard asked Miles.

These two championship veterans are about to retire at the end of this season, and Richard naturally wants to leave them with an unforgettable retirement ceremony.

Both veterans have made a lot of contributions this season, and if it weren't for the short years with the Buccaneers and other reasons, Richard would even think about retiring their jerseys.

Jersey retirement is a very solemn thing for a team, and if Mourning and Payton are both starters, even if they are not the best starters, then Richard can retire their jerseys with the Buccaneers.

But now that they're both on the bench and have only been with the Buccaneers for just three seasons, this would lower the bar for the retirement of the Pirates jerseys, and could cause a lot of jerseys to hang over the Pirates' arena in the future.

Luckily, even if the Pirates don't retire their jerseys, their parent teams SuperSonics and Heat will certainly retire their jerseys, and Richard doesn't have to worry about that.

Mourning's No. 33 jersey was retired by the Heat, while Payton's jersey retirement was more complicated.

The SuperSonics, or the Thunder, did not retire Payton's jersey, not that they didn't want to give Payton this glory, but that Payton himself insisted on retiring the jersey in Seattle......

After the next season, the SuperSonics moved from Seattle and even changed the team name, and Payton didn't want to go to Oklahoma to retire his jersey, so the matter was put off.

Maybe when Seattle starts an NBA team again in the future, it's time for Payton to retire his jersey.

……

Regardless, both veterans have their own parent teams, and the retirement of jerseys doesn't need the Buccaneers to worry about.

To thank the two veterans for their dedication to the Pirates, Richard is planning to hold a grand retirement ceremony for the two on July 1, when fans can attend.
