The next evening, the Buccaneers played against the Trail Blazers.

There were a lot of fans who went to watch the game, but most of them went for Richard.

Because Richard is in the East, in fact, there is only one game a year that can appear in Portland.

With only one appearance a year, Trail Blazers fans naturally won't miss this opportunity.

Even though Richard has been away from the Trail Blazers for many years now, the glory of the original dynasty has always been remembered by Trail Blazers fans.

Especially now that the Pirates are about to establish a dynasty, it makes the Trail Blazers fans sigh, if Richard hadn't left the Trail Blazers, how many championship trophies can the current Trail Blazers have?!

Eight in a row? Ten consecutive championships?!

It's fascinating to think about.

However, even if Richard is now half the owner of the Pirates, in the eyes of many fans, Richard may return to the Trail Blazers sooner or later.

The reason is simple, the relationship between Richard and Paul Allen is not a secret.

Paul Allen has no children, and all the inheritance he has at that time will definitely become the inheritance of Richard's daughter-in-law, Tiana, in the order of inheritance.

After the Trailblazers became Tiana's industry, could Richard sit back and watch? Will definitely come to help the trailblazers.

That's what most fans think, and they clearly don't know enough about Richard's ambitions......

……

To the cheers of the fans, tonight's game ended with the Trail Blazers losing by 13 points.

Durant scored a super high score of 37 points tonight, and Durant is also the top attacker in the league at the moment, but the defense is really a little unbearable, and Granger also scored 34 points under his defense......

Paul Allen saw Granger's performance tonight, with a smile on his face, and the elegant Granger with his style of play seemed much more pleasing to the eye than Durant......

Durant has a strong dick atmosphere regardless of his appearance or style, which is completely unwashable.

Wash the floor with a trumpet, drink Scarlett bath water, especially the labor protection suit you wore when you went to the construction site of the Warriors' new arena, it completely looks like a small foreman, how can you have the temperament of a superstar......

But his temperament seems quite real, not so pretentious.

Paul Allen is a rock and roll person, even if Granger is slightly worse than Durant, he will definitely choose Granger, who makes Granger look pleasing to the eye.

……

At the post-game press conference, McMillan took Durant to the post-game press conference.

Durant, who scored the game's highest score tonight, was naturally the focus of reporters' questions.

This season is Durant's second season in the league, and he has played two-thirds of the way this season, and he is averaging 26.1 points per game, which is quite impressive.

For a rookie, to get such statistics, without looking at his poor defensive efficiency, is like a future superstar.

"Kevin, with the current momentum, you have a good chance of making the playoffs this season, congratulations in advance." A reporter said to Durant with a smile.

The Trail Blazers are currently sixth in the West, and more than two-thirds of the schedule has passed, and the Trail Blazers will definitely be able to make the playoffs this year if nothing else.

But how could the Trail Blazers care about a measly playoff qualification......

Durant waved his hand, "Reaching the Finals is not our ultimate goal. ”

"Our ultimate goal is to win the championship, to take out the Pirates!"

"I firmly believe that one day, I will lead the Portland Trail Blazers to take out the Buccaneers in the Finals."

Durant obviously still hasn't come out of the previous "love wound", even after so much time, he still feels that Richard betrayed his feelings.

McMillan, who was on the side, coughed lightly, wanting to remind Durant, don't talk big, you guys will be sent to the pirates next year......

Durant certainly doesn't know that he is about to be sold by the Trail Blazers, and only Paul Allen and McMillan know about this on the Trail Blazers' side.

Hearing McMillan's cough, Durant thought that McMillan felt that his tone was not firm enough and domineering......

"Let's put it this way, I'll play for the Trail Blazers until the day I beat the Buccaneers!"

"Trust me, I have that ability!"

McMillan was so embarrassed that he wanted to cover Durant's mouth and tell him "No, you don't want to beat the Pirates......"

Durant will be a member of the Pirates next year, and McMillan can already think of Durant's embarrassed look against the Pirates next year.

No, you don't have to wait for next year, maybe in less than half a year, Durant's deal with Oden will be completed.

Not long after the front foot said that he was going to lead the team to kill the Pirates, the back foot was directly sold to the Pirates by the team, and McMillan suddenly felt a little sympathy for Durant.

……

"Kevin, if you had a chance to join the Pirates right now, would you choose to join them?" A reporter wondered if his brain had been illuminated by God, and he suddenly asked a wonderful question.

"No!"

"Never!"

"I would never choose to join the Pirates, I would never play for Richard!"

McMillan's face was flushed with coughing on the side, and he looked at Durant with sympathy, this kid is going to be unlucky......

Even if Richard doesn't look for this kid, when this kid arrives in the pirate team, the pirate generals probably won't give him a good face.

……

After Richard returned to the hotel, he learned what Durant said at the press conference tonight, and he couldn't help but be happy.

This time, Du Lao Er probably never dreamed that he had been sold by Paul Allen to Richard.

Thinking about Durant joining the Pirates next season, Richard thinks it's still quite interesting.

If you wait for 11 years and take Klay Thompson with the 11th pick, then Richard will be tantamount to building a Warriors dynasty lineup.

Of course, the dynasty lineup that Richard made must be much more luxurious than the Warriors.

There are two splash brothers in the backcourt, small forward Durant, and the big forward position, although there is no chasing Green, but there is a Milicic, Milicic's defensive end is estimated to be not as good as chasing eggs, but other aspects are much stronger than chasing eggs.

As for Cousins, who is worth a coin, don't mention it......

The only thing is that the players are a little younger, and their strength has not reached their peak.

However, by the time 11 years later, Durant and Curry may have already reached their peak, that is, Tang Shen, who has just joined the team, and his strength will be almost there.

But it's harmless, Roy is still on the team after all.

……

After this wave of away fixtures, Richard felt he should talk to Granger.

At the moment, Granger is actually quite hesitant, and he naturally wants to stay in the pirates.

No one would have the crazy idea of leaving the pirates.

If you stay with the Pirates, the player can have everything he wants to have......

After winning the championship this year, Granger is also a member of the dynasty players, but who would dislike having more championships at hand, and if he can win more championships, it must be better.

Why are there so many Hall of Famers and top 50 superstars in the history of the Green Kai team? In fact, it is because of the eight consecutive championships that they made many players famous.

If it weren't for this eight-in-a-row accolade, some of them might be stars, but they certainly wouldn't have the historical status they have today.

……

Granger actually wants to talk to Richard now, and if possible, he is willing to reduce his salary and try to stay with the Pirates.

……

"Coach, are you looking for me?" Granger pushed the door open and walked into Richard's office.

"Well, sit down, Danny, my lad." Richard actually liked Granger very much, and he was reluctant to let Granger go.

No one would hate a gentle, polite and personable player like Granger, and the key is that this player is quite strong.

Granger sat down in front of Richard, a little restrained.

In Granger's view, Richard is a mythical figure, and although he has been under Richard for a short time, he rarely has the opportunity to talk to Richard alone.

"Danny, are you wondering why the team didn't talk to you about renewing your contract?"

Granger nodded, a little nervous, it looked like Richard was going to talk to him about this today.

"Coach, I'm willing to take a pay cut!"

"I got a big contract with Nike, and Dakko can take a pay cut, and I can take a pay cut, give me a contract at Dako's level, and I'll stay with the Buccaneers."

Granger didn't wait for Richard to speak, he plucked up his courage and spoke first.

Richard was stunned, he had originally thought about how to tell Granger that the team was going to give up on him, but now Granger's words made Richard unable to speak.

……

After a moment of silence, Richard sighed.

"Young man, you are the young man I want to be optimistic about, I know you are reluctant to leave the pirates."

"However, I will not agree to give you a pay cut."

'Darko is a special thing, you can't be like him, there are a lot of teams in the league that are suitable for you, where you can play more value and become a higher status star in the league.

"But......" Granger wanted to say, but was directly interrupted by Richard.

"Don't say anything, get out of here next season and get your big contract."

"You are a real top-paid player, even if you are given a dime less, this is an insult to you, and I will never insult you!"

Richard said with a smile.

Granger's face hurts, and he'd rather Richard insult himself now......

His temperament is also relatively introverted, and if he moves to other teams, just re-establishing friendship with his teammates will give him quite a headache.

That's one reason why he wanted to stay with the Buccaneers.

But now Richard's words made Granger realize that his pirate career was coming to an end.

By the next season, he will no longer be a pirate.
