The death of Paul Allen was still quite a blow to the Richard family.

To Richard, he was an elder and a close friend, and now that he was gone, Richard only felt empty in his heart.

Although Richard knew very well that death was just something that everyone would face, when Paul Allen really took his last breath in front of him, Richard's heart was still in pain.

Tiana washed her face with tears for a few days, and Richard didn't care about the team's affairs anymore, and stayed by Tiana's side.

A week after Paul Allen's death, the lawyer contacted Jody Allen, and all of Paul Allen's property was inherited by his own sister Jody Allen.

If you are in China, as soon as you leave, you will come to talk about the inheritance, and you will probably be thrown out of the door.

"Lee, I don't have much interest in basketball, but it's something Paul has cherished all his life, and I'm not going to sell the Portland Trail Blazers."

"Why don't I leave the Portland Trail Blazers to Tiana?" Jody Allen said with a sad face.

Richard sighed and shook his head.

I and Tiana are husband and wife, I run the Clippers on my side, and Tiana is to run the Trailblazers, which is obviously inappropriate.

"Let's let the Trail Blazers develop freely first, the Trail Blazers are still profitable now, and in a few years, when Lamb and Mary grow up, see if they are interested in the team, just give it to them......"

"It's definitely not good for me and Tiana to run the team at the same time." Richard said with a sigh.

Tiana is not good at running the Trailblazers, but Richard's children are not troubled by this, and if they take over the Trailblazers, no one can find fault with them.

Jody nodded, "Okay, that's all there is to it now, I hope those two kids will be interested in managing the team in the future." ”

"In that case, Paul will probably have peace of mind in heaven."

Richard and his mother-in-law lightly decided the ownership of the pioneers.

Paul Allen left a legacy of nearly $25 billion, and the Trail Blazers are just a very inconspicuous part of the industry, and the Trail Blazers have a market value of less than $1 billion at most, so Jody did not choose to sell the Trail Blazers when he was not very interested in basketball.

She wanted to keep the pioneers, or at least keep a memory.

……

The Trail Blazers took over the Spurs in the West and met the Clippers in the Western Conference Finals.

may also be the reason why the mourners must win, or it may be that Richard is releasing the water, and in the end, the Trail Blazers finally got a ticket to the finals.

In Richard's view, this Finals can actually be said to be the best time for the Trail Blazers to win the championship.

Halfway through last season, Irving caught the Cavaliers management off guard, causing the Cavaliers to make a trade with Green Kai, with Thomas Jr. being traded to the Cavaliers and Irving joining Green Kai.

The deal, a year later than Richard remembered, but it finally happened.

At present, the strength of the Cavaliers is quite declining, and Thomas Jr. is unable to play due to injury, so to speak, whether the Clippers enter the Finals or the Trail Blazers enter the Finals, they can win the championship steadily.

In the end, the Trail Blazers lived up to expectations, and finally defeated the Cavaliers with a score of 4:2 on their home court and won the 2018-2019 championship.

Oden also won the Finals MVP because of his brilliant performance, and wrote his name into the ranks of those historical centers.

There is no doubt that Oden has become the hottest NBA player in the country this summer, but in addition to Oden, there are two other players who have caused American basketball fans to go crazy.

These two people are Libit and Li Jin.

In the school year that just ended, Libit and Li Jin finished their first year of high school.

When Li Jin was promoted to high school, Richard had already smashed a lot of famous points for Li Jin, resulting in his current strength being quite terrifying.

In just one year, Libit and Li Jin have achieved something that is difficult for others to achieve in their lifetimes.

Libit, the No. 1 high school student in the United States, Libit and Li Jin, the No. 1 high school student in the United States, were invited to participate in the Nike Global Summit and the McDonald's All-Star Game.

It is important to know that these invitations are generally not open to first-year high school students, but are for those who are about to graduate from high school juniors or seniors.

Obviously, Libit and Li Jin have become special cases within special cases, breaking countless traditions.

Countless people are waiting for these two talented boys to enter the NBA, and it won't be long, now these two boys have finished their freshman year of high school, will they be far from participating in the draft?!

After these two boys really entered the league, these fans firmly believed that it would definitely make a huge storm.

It's been quite a few years since fans were so expecting high school students to enter the league.

In recent years, although Xiao Hua has relaxed the restrictions on high school students participating in the draft, the effect is not too ideal, and no too talented high school students choose to enter the NBA directly, they still feel that it will be more beneficial for them to go to the NCAA for a year of training.

Of course, there may be other reasons, such as wanting to get a feel for college life.

……

In the 2019 draft, Richard had two embarrassing draft picks, the 29th pick in the first round and the 29th pick in the second round.

With the 29th pick in the first round, Richard chose Carson Edwards, a small two-way guard from Purdue.

This Carson is naturally not enough to compare his teammate, that is, Zion Williams, the leader of Purdue University this year, and the physical fitness of the two is not at the same level at all.

Williams is a proper champion, and any team that gets the top pick will definitely choose this chubby guy.

And Carson Edwards is 185 centimeters tall, which is really a little too short, so his draft prediction has been embarrassing.

The highest one is only the bottom of the first round, and the rest of the predictions are mostly in the middle of the second round.

Richard waited for the 29th pick in the first round, but no one chose Carson, so he took it.

This little man has a special energy in his body, and when his hands are smooth, he is completely a god blocking and killing gods, and the nerve knife in the nerve knife is very popular with Richard.

(This year, Purdue is the only player who has a chance to be drafted, and in a few days' draft, you can pay attention to it, and the pick will not be high anyway.) ）

As for the second-round pick, Richard handily selected a player from China - Wang Quanze.

This is a four-star power forward who had a good run in the U18 league and was accepted to the University of Pennsylvania.

However, in ESPN's draft prediction, Wang Quanze was defeated, mainly because he did not have a high rating among the players in the United States.

Sharif O'Neill, who is about the same age as Wang Quanze, is the son of Shark O'Neill, and his rating is 90 points, while Wang Quanze only has 81 points.

This is not a game rating for NBA2K, but a rating for draft prospects, in fact, even Sharif's draft prospects are not good, let alone Wang Quanze, who is so much lower than Sharif.

Richard chose Wang Quanze not because he knew that Wang Quanze was a malleable talent, he really just chose it.

A second-round draft pick, Richard didn't bother to trade it, and simply chose a Chinese player......

Of course, after being selected, Richard will definitely train vigorously.

At present, Richard is ready to train Wang Quanze into a player like Turkoglou, and the two sides still have a lot of similarities in terms of style of play and physical conditions.
