Richard couldn't help but be happy when he thought about this No. 4 lot.

In recent years, I've been really lucky, and I've always been able to get quite high draft picks.

The champion in 02, the list in 03, and the No. 4 in 04 are guaranteed, which is simply ......

……

The Pistons are still so strong, and they continue to beat their opponents in the next games, and the players in the team are also quite strong, except for the more hopeful Milicic, everyone else has shown quite strong ability.

Needless to say, this Pistons team will definitely become the dominant team in this league, at least the Eastern Conference, just like the previous Trail Blazers.

The pattern on the eastern side has basically not changed, if you really want to say a change, I am afraid that the Cavaliers got James, and they played a 2-3 record at the beginning, which is more surprising.

You must know that the previous knights, that is a bad little master in the East, looking at their current record, is it not ready to be bad? Ready to start aiming for the championship?

Richard naturally doesn't care much about the knights, at least in the next few years, the knights will definitely not enter Richard's field of vision.

The Cavaliers have a long, long way to go in the future, and maybe even Richard's new Pirate army is tinkering with the new hegemon in the East, and they haven't figured it out yet.

The Pistons' next home game will face the Cavaliers.

When he first joined the league, when he played against those veteran stars, Richard had some excitement in his heart.

But now that he is about to face James, Richard feels quite sparse and ordinary, and there is no excitement.

Not only James, but players like Anthony, Richard didn't have any special feelings in his heart.

It may be that Richard was about the same age as these stars in his previous life, and it is unlikely that he will have any admiration for his peers, and he may look at these stars more rationally.

When the stars produced after 2010 are produced, then Richard can't talk about worship, and it makes no sense for a middle-aged person to worship some twenty-year-old raw melon eggs.

Since there was no admiration, Richard was naturally not excited, and looked at this game very normally.

Even Richard has to admit that James's strength is indeed strong enough, not to mention his character and bad style of doing things, if he just looks at his strength, it is still quite okay.

But......

There is also a limit to being strong, it is impossible to be like he said, he is the strongest player in the history of the entire league, this is definitely a princess selling melons, selling herself and boasting.

In the entire history of the league, no one dares to say that he is the first in history except James, for the simple reason that there is Jordan on everyone's heads.

After James announced that he was the No. 1 in league history, reporters with good things naturally asked Jordan about his attitude.

After all, it is recognized that the first in history is Jordan, and if James wants to cross the mountain of Jordan, he must always be recognized by Jordan.

As a result, Jordan's words slapped James in the face and made him make a big joke.

"No matter what the outside world says about me, I have never said that I am the number one in history."

"Because that's disrespectful to the celebrity......"

Just this sentence, the two of them make a judgment, and the mind and pattern are not the same thing at all.

……

At eight o'clock in the evening, the fans had already begun to enter, and the players of both sides knew each other, and they also greeted and hugged each other on the field.

The Cavaliers still have one West Lafayette player in the form of Al Harrington.

He walked to Richard with James.

"Coach, congratulations on winning last season!"

Harrington's face was full of smiles, Richard won the championship, and he was also quite proud of being a member of West Lafayette.

"Al, you knights are about to rise, congratulations." Richard patted Al Harrington on the shoulder and smiled.

The Cavaliers' current lineup is really good.

James plays point guard, Harrington has a strong offensive ability on the front line, and a strong center Big Z on the inside, although it is certainly far inferior to the Pistons, but if the run-in is successful, it will not be a problem to reach the top half of the East in the next two years.

"Hopefully, by the way, I'll introduce you, this is LeBron James, coach you should know." Harrington said with a smile.

"He's a fan of yours, and he admires you so much that he's begging me for a long time to take him to meet you tonight no matter what."

James on the side looked at Richard with a smile on his face at the moment.

"Nice young man, work hard." Richard patted James on the shoulder and encouraged Harrington to save face.

was slapped by Richard like this, James suddenly grinned, not to mention how old this smile was......

One James, one Oden, those are all old-looking champions, debuting at the age of thirty.

"Coach, you call me KING, this is my nickname."

James didn't think about it that much, he had been using this nickname since high school, thinking that it would be more intimate for Richard to call his nickname......

But what he didn't expect was that Richard's face suddenly darkened.

CALL YOU KING? Don't you treat Lao Tzu as a eunuch......

What is this, I am a top coach in the league, and I call you a kid KING who has not grown any hair, isn't it a joke.

"Young people, low-key is a good boy, I hope you can remember this sentence." Richard said as he looked James in the eye.

Harrington had been in contact with Richard for a long time and knew Richard's temper quite well.

As soon as I heard Richard's words, and then looked at Richard's face, I knew that Richard was a little unhappy.

Immediately started haha, "Coach, young people are not sensible, don't take it to heart, haha, wait for the next time you go to Cleveland to play away, I will invite you to drink......"

Richard nodded, and Harrington quickly dragged a bewildered James back to the bench.

"Are you kid crazy? Let the coach call you KING? Harrington saved face for James and didn't blame James in front of Richard.

James was still confused, "What's wrong with shouting KING?" ”

"That's my nickname......"

Harrington's brows furrowed, "Young man, the coach is right, low-key is a good boy, don't keep taking out your self-styled nickname in the future." ”

James's expression instantly froze, his face began to turn red, and he looked at Harrington coldly.

Harrington looked at James's expression, and immediately became dissatisfied, no matter how he said that he was also James's senior, how to say a few words, James was about to turn his face.

Before Harrington could speak a lesson to James, the whistle sounded over the arena and the game was about to start.

The starters of both sides began to appear.
