Just one day before the preseason schedule kicks off, something big and small happened here in the East.

There was infighting within the Pistons, and Iverson had a violent friction with the team's head coach, Michael Curry, and almost made a move.

After Davidson Sr. died, his family sold the Pistons to Tom Gores.

The boss is actually quite a good boss, but in the face of Iverson's friction with the exchange, he is still on Michael Curry's side.

Coach Curry was going to put Iverson on the bench and then go to start the playoffs normally, but Iverson naturally couldn't agree.

It's the same reason why Iverson broke with the Pistons under normal circumstances.

Under normal circumstances, Coach Curry was also in the closing stages of the season, preparing to put Iverson on the bench, but Iverson did not agree, the two sides broke up, and in the end, Iverson did not participate in the playoffs with the team, resulting in the first round of the Pistons.

And Coach Curry didn't end well in the end, this was his first and last season in charge of the NBA......

If Coach Curry is selfish, it is not enough, he wants to play a half-court positional battle like the Buccaneers with the inside as the core.

The team has the league's No. 1 center, and there is nothing wrong with this tactic.

Iverson's offensive firepower is not bad at the moment, and it is no problem to score 20 points, but his biggest problem is that he is not good defensively, and the offensive habits he has developed over the years have made him not a good passer.

As a result, Coach Curry is ready to use the original backup point guard Bynum to start and let Iverson lead the Pistons' bench to play.

Such an arrangement, in fact, really can't find much fault, and it is beneficial to the Pistons as a whole.

But Iverson is obviously difficult to accept this change of identity......

The fierce conflict between the two sides finally alarmed the owner Goers, if Iverson is a Pistons legend, then Gores may be able to put up with Iverson.

But now Iverson came to the Pistons halfway, and he is not too popular in the Pistons fan market, how can Gores endure this kind of disorganized and undisciplined behavior, directly banned Iverson from the team, and disqualified him from participating in the playoffs with the team.

And Coach Curry, although Gores didn't move him, he had already made up his mind in his heart, and immediately fired Michael Curry after the end of this season.

A head coach can't even handle this kind of thing, what is the use of him Gores?! This rookie head coach is still a lot worse.

Cai is the original sin!

……

Iverson obviously didn't expect Gors to act so decisively.

With his temperament, he naturally won't go to Golls to admit his mistakes, and this matter is so decided, Iverson will miss this year's playoffs.

When Richard learned the news, he was also stunned.

Although the Pistons announced that Iverson would not be able to play in the playoffs due to injury, Richard has so many disciples in the Pistons, so he naturally knows the inside story.

He wanted to call Golls to see if he could help Iverson get the playoffs back, but when he thought about it, he really wasn't fit to come forward.

Is Gores wrong? That's right......

If it were him, the players in the team would be fighting with the head coach, and I am afraid that he would be banned like Gores.

And this is a housework within the Pistons, and Richard's plea is really unreasonable, and it may even be counterproductive.

Iverson also called Richard for the first time, but he didn't ask Richard to intercede for him, his character couldn't do such a thing.

The main purpose of this call Iverson was to think about joining the Buccaneers as a free agent next year.

This season is Iverson's contract year, and looking at the current situation, the Pistons are definitely not ready to renew Iverson's contract......

However, even if the Pistons want to renew Iverson's contract, Iverson will definitely not stay in this sad place, playing for so many years, it is the first time that a team has let him play as a substitute.

The two years of wandering have also made Iverson tired, and he wants to find a final home, and there is no doubt that Richard's pirate team is a good choice.

"Coach, don't worry, I won't ask for a big contract, the basic salary is fine." Iverson also knew that it was difficult for him to get an annual salary of 10 million now, so he simply asked for a veteran's basic salary.

"Don't worry, wait until the offseason, there will definitely be a team that will give you an offer, and we will give you as much as others give, anyway, we can't treat you badly." Richard said with a smile.

It is certainly impossible to have a basic salary, but a contract that is too large is also unrealistic.

Richard remembered that the Grizzlies gave Iverson a contract of $3.5 million a year, and he could also give a contract of three or four million dollars at that time, and he couldn't treat Iverson badly anyway.

There's not much to say about the contract price, except that Iverson's position is a little difficult to handle.

This is where Richard has a headache......

Although Rondo leaves the team next season, according to Richard's plan, he is ready to correct Curry next.

After Iverson came, I am afraid that he can only play the substitute position, and I don't know if Iverson will agree.

Fortunately, Iverson didn't mention it, and Richard didn't say it at all, and he still waited until the offseason signed his contract.

……

"Richard!"

"Richard!"

In the first game of the Pirates playoffs, when Richard played, it provoked the screams of countless fans in the audience.

The dynasty is just around the corner, and the crazy mood of the fans can be imagined.

And the person who brought the Charlotte dynasty was Richard, who slowly entered with a smile on his face.

"God, it's the first time I've seen a coach so popular."

Today, TNT sent a special commentator to the scene, and Barkley and Kenny Smith were both here.

In response to Barkley's exclamation, Smith quipped: "By the way, Sir Charles, you didn't say you were going to contact Richard before, what happened?" Why haven't you moved since then, and haven't heard that the Pirates have signed with you? ”

Barkley rolled his eyes, he had joked that he wanted to play for Richard to win the championship because of Pippen and Mourning's rejuvenation, but Smith was talking about it when he was fine.

"Alright, Kenny, shut your mouth and watch the game."

"Competitions? Do you think the 76ers will be a match for the Pirates? This kind of slaughtering competition will not surprise us. ”

……

As Kenny Smith said, this kind of slaughtering game really can't surprise the fans, but the thrill of the abuse is definitely there.

Like some game anchors in later generations, they obviously have the strength of a master king, but they go to play the silver bronze and black iron game to abuse vegetables, which can also attract a large number of fans, the reason is that some fans like to watch the game of abusing vegetables and like to enjoy the pleasure of beating everything.

Obviously, the current Pirates team belongs to the nature of an abusive streamer, even if they know that the 76ers have no hope of winning this game, there are still countless fans in front of the TV, waiting for the game to start.

"Dear viewers and friends, today is the opening game of the Pirates playoffs, and we specially invited Zhang Weiping, the current head coach of the Guangdong men's basketball team, to come and serve as the guest commentator of this game."

"Hello, Director Zhang." A domestic TV station broadcast this game with no suspense.

Although there is no suspense, both teams have Chinese players, and the Pirates are still the most popular team in the league, so they will definitely be broadcast live.

"Director Zhang, can you tell me what you think of this kind of competition?" The narrator on the side asked with a smile.

"Opinion, my opinion is that the Pirates are a little too strong."

"You should know that I have had a lifelong friendship with Richard, and I have known him for fifteen years, and I simply know him too well."

"If someone runs up to the front and says that Richard is not an earthling, he is an alien, don't say it, I can really believe it."

……

"Granger scored, the goal was reasonable!"

"Granger is in again, yo, this kid is hot tonight!"

"The 76ers are finished, and one Granger alone can completely blow them up tonight."

Zhang Weiping was commenting passionately, and there was also cheers in the stadium at the moment.

Granger was a little too strong tonight.

Maybe his teammates also guessed that Granger was about to leave the team, so they passed him more and tried to get him away.

Before the end of the first quarter, Granger had already scored 17 points, and if nothing else, tonight could be said to be the night when Granger was the protagonist.

With all sorts of chic and elegant difficult goals, and all kinds of crisp and neat high-intensity defenses, tonight's Granger truly interpreted what it means to be a real small forward.

When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, Granger scored 52 points, and as Zhang Weiping said, he blew up the Philadelphia 76ers alone.

What is certain is that after tonight's battle, Granger's popularity will probably be extremely high.

Richard sat on the sidelines and smiled bitterly, such a powerful Granger, he was really reluctant to let go.

However, he can't release pigeons with Paul Allen, in that case, the old man is probably hospitalized.
