Bishop of the Devil

Chapter 717

In recent days of the opening of the trading market, the pirate team has changed its lineup in turn, which makes the fans of all walks of life more lively and chatty.

After that, the two Eastern teams fired their respective managers and raised a lot of discussion.

Lvkai fired their coach, Doug Reeves, and Danny Angie went on the pitch

Detroit Pistons have fired Michael curry, the new manager who took office last season, and have yet to announce a new manager.

The pistons are getting worse and worse, and without accident, they may even fall out of the top three positions in the East this season.

Billups left, let Yao Ming on the court also become quite uncomfortable, after all, without Billups this top point guard, Yao Ming in the inner line to get the ball more difficult.

Yao Ming had a headache and called Richard. He would like to hear Richard's advice on this matter.

With the current situation of the pistons, they are not particularly eager for the championship, just hope not to fall down so early, at least to keep the top three positions in the East.

"Coach, are there any more reliable traditional point guards in the league now, and you should be very clear about the current situation of our pistons." Yao said painfully.

Richard nodded. Naturally, he knew the current situation of Detroit, but there must be some reliable traditional point guards in the league.

Nash, Chris Paul, Rondo, Didier, Kidd and trailblazer's mustache Davis are all top traditional point guards, but the key is that Detroit can't get them.

These players play an extremely important role in their respective teams, so it's impossible to sell them to Detroit

If they sell it to Detroit, they won't be able to play.

So these people, the pistons can't get them, they can only be greedy. Yao Ming now comes to Richard for advice, which must also be because of this.

After a long meditation, Richard opened his mouth.

"There's a guy who can't compare to Paul, but give him some time and he can still play at the All-Star level. It's just that defense is a little bit poor."

Yao Ming was suddenly surprised, almost defensive, as long as there is offensive ability and excellent organizational ability, it is completely acceptable.

"Who? Who is it? Do we have a chance to get it? " Yao asked in surprise.

"Dragic!" Said Richard with a smile.

Yao Ming is stunned. Dragic must know, but in fact, he is not very impressed. He only knows that he is the third point guard of the pirate team last season

Last season, Rondo played in the main control of India, and Curie was the chief backup guard. He got a lot of playing time. When Rondo took a rest, Curie was directly on the starting line.

As for Dragic, he has no chance to make a figure in the pirate team at all. Last season, the average playing time was less than 8 minutes. This is the case that Rondo has many rounds. If Rondo doesn't, his average playing time might have to be cut in half, about four minutes.

Such playing time, in fact, in the NBA is completely a marginal player

Yao Ming didn't expect Richard to give drajic such a high rating, saying that this marginal player can play all star level strength?!

How terrible is the depth of the pirate's reserve team? Their third point guard has all star level strength

Think of here, Yao Ming's big brother, was completely scared by the depth of the pirate team's lineup.

It's really a little too scary. People's third point guard has All-Star level after a little training. What does his piston take to compete with the pirate team?!

Yao Ming has no doubt about Richard's statement. He is extremely convinced of Richard. Since Richard said that Dragic is good, it must be good.

Seeing that Yao didn't speak, Richard thought Yao didn't believe in the potential of Dragic, and continued.

"You don't want to see that I gave Ingram to the trailblazers before. Ingram's potential is totally incomparable with that of Dragic, including Sun Yue..."

"Sun Yue, Ingram and Dragic are the edge players of our pirate team, but Dragic's potential is much higher than those two people..."

"Coach, I see. You've got so many backcourt players in this draft. Do you want to sell drajic now?" Yao asked with a smile.

"That's right. At the moment, it's really a plan. If you pistons want to strengthen position one, I can't think of anyone in the league who is more suitable than Dragic."

Richard didn't lie at all. Today's pistons have the chance to get a hand, can afford a contract, and have good strength and potential. There is only one Dragic, no one else!

"Coach, what should we pay for drajic? We don't have any high ranking draft rights..." Yao Ming was tickled by Richard's words and asked.According to Richard, maybe even if this Dragic is not as good as Billups, the gap will not be very big. If they can get the hand, the pistons will surely keep the top three position in the East.

"You don't need any good chips. If you just give me a round, I can accept it." Said Richard with a smile.

Yao Ming lost his mind. Just one round? This deal is all about giving warmth!

It is true that at this time, Dragic's performance, in fact, is only worth one round, and it has to be the second round which is relatively backward in sequence

But Yao Ming knows that this is a future all star player. Richard won't cheat himself, and the pistons will make a lot of money on this deal.

"Coach, you can't do this. You've suffered a lot. Let me talk to the boss..." Yao Ming is a little ashamed.

In his opinion, Richard's warm act is just to take care of himself. He's embarrassed to let Richard suffer. He's going to discuss with the boss to see if he can come up with a first round signing for Dragic.

Even if it's a first round sign, it's not worth much. The piston's first round sign is generally 25 places backward. In terms of value, it's not as high as the first five places in the second round.

"Dayao, don't worry. I have other conditions..."

"Dragic can give it to you in half, but you pistons have to give Rahim a chance to coach on one condition."

"For one year, if you are not satisfied with Rahim's performance after one year, you can dismiss him completely."

Yao Ming was shocked again. He didn't expect that Richard would come up with such a wonderful condition.

It's the first time I've heard that a team is in a trade, adding such subsidiary conditions.

However, Yao Ming also understood Richard's purpose of adding this subsidiary condition.

Rahim is the elder of the West Lafayette players. Richard's purpose is to find a way out for Rahim.

If he can hold the position of coach in Detroit, Rahim will surely go a long way in the future.

Think of here, Yao Ming can not help but give birth to a higher respect for Richard.

Richard was so hearty to his disciples that he gave up a lot of benefits in order to find a way out for Rahim.

Thinking that he had been taken care of by Richard before, Yao Ming decided to help Richard make it.

……

Pistons just fired new coach Michael curry. Although he hasn't announced the new coach, Yao Ming already knows that the new coach is basically determined. His name is John Scott.

The coach was born in NCAA and has no NBA coaching experience. Even in NCAA, he has no special coaching experience.

What's the difference between a coach like this and a coach like Rahim?!

Other Yao Ming can't guarantee that, at least with Rahim, the team atmosphere will be quite harmonious. After all, everyone from the West Lafayette department is from a family of players, and it's certain that they won't come up with those disagreements between the general and the general.

……

Yao Ming didn't tell Richard that there was a new coach for the pistons. In his opinion, there was no need to tell Richard about it.

Even if there is a new manager now, can't the first center of the league and the star of his own make the team change its mind?!

Generally speaking, when the team is in charge, it must have certain right to suggest when the team chooses the head coach.

It can't be said that we have the right to make decisions, but we can at least advise the team what kind of manager to choose

Yao Ming is more modest because of his nature. After Richard left, he never used such rights. No matter the team invited Saunders to coach or new Michael Curie, Yao Ming obeyed the team's arrangement and didn't express any opinions.

And now he feels like it's time to say two words

He has a good grasp of this. As the first center of the league, the team must give him due respect. And most importantly, although Richard is not young enough to leave the piston, the top three stars in the piston team are all the West Lafayette players.

Yao Ming, Joe, and Prince are the big three. If they put pressure on the team, the team can't refuse.

……

After hanging up, Yao Ming didn't come out to talk to the boss about it first, but asked prince to talk to Dumas about it first.

Dumas was naturally quite convinced of Richard's vision, and felt that Dragic had at least 80% possibility, which was really a piece of treasure.

But let Rahim coach the piston this matter, but let Dumas frown.

John is the manager of the new season, he also nodded his head and agreed

In the end, boss GORs has to nod his head.

What makes Dumas embarrassed is that gores would rather give Richard a first round signing than change the managerDumas didn't know where John attracted golds, because in his opinion, there was no big difference between John and Rahim.

And maybe Rahim is better. After all, Rahim has a wide network in the league, and he also has the experience of coaching the NBA, which is more suitable than John.

Otherwise, if Rahim is in charge of the piston, if there's a real life or death moment, Richard can just sit back?!

So Dumas is inclined to use Rahim as the coach of the team in the new season.

But the boss didn't agree. He couldn't help but tell Prince the news and let him contact Richard to see if he could get rid of Rahim.

As a result, the next evening, Yao Ming and his two younger brothers came to Dumas's office, and boss GORs was invited.

"BOSS, I and the two of them feel that Raheem will be the best choice for the head coach." Yao Ming didn't beat around the bush. He came up and expressed the opinions of the three of them directly.

The tone is certainly not tough, but GORs can also hear a bit of persistence in Yao Ming's tone.

"Yao, John is NCAA's senior coach. He has rich experience in coaching, which Rahim can't compare with."

"Our goal now is to win the title. Do you think Rahim can win the title? He's Richard's disciple. I'm afraid that all he can do is play with the rest... " Said gores, frowning.

Without waiting for Yao Ming to speak, Joe in the side of the singles directly spoke.

"Boss, I think it's unrealistic for us to aim to win the championship now."

"Although every team should aim to win the championship, when you face a team that even the third point guard is all star level, the idea of winning the championship will only hit you."

"Besides, Richard only asked for a year, not too much."

"I think we should agree with Richard. It's not bad for us. It's almost an all star level traditional point guard."

"Everyone in this room should not doubt the potential of Dragic. Since Richard said so, he must be all star level in the future."

……

After half an hour or so of talks, both sides were quite rational and did not make any noise. At last, GORs could only nod his head.

The three leaders of the team came together and all asked Rahim to coach the pistons. And the chips given by Richard are really good. It's not too much to let Rahim coach for only one year.

In this case, gores can't even agree.

……

That night, Richard received a call from Yao Ming, and the matter was settled.

Richard smiled and breathed a long sigh of relief.

In fact, this matter is very important for Richard.

First of all, Richard doesn't want to waste his time on Dragic. With the joining of Haden, maybe Dragic will be in the state of marginal players again this season.

You know, Hardon can play point guard, and it's not bad

In the new season, let Curie play the starting point guard, and harden play the backup point guard, which Richard had planned for a long time.

In this case, Dragic continues to stay in the team, Richard is wasting Dragic's time

Next, Richard also wants to find a way out for Rahim. He is the first one of his disciples to take the road of teaching. Richard naturally needs to give a good help.

Richard is very envious of Popovich's future, so he is also sparing no effort to develop his own coaching team.

……

Once again, Richard also has a goal, that is, this year's All-Star team leading qualification.

This year, even if Richard leads the team to play the first in the league, he has no qualification to lead the team. He can only lead the team by relying on other people's transfer of qualification.

Will Danny Angie, lvkai's new manager, give up? impossible!

If the pistons have a new coach, they are not related to Richard, and they are unlikely to give it to Richard.

It means that no matter who gets the all star leading qualification, Richard will not play

Now Rahim is going to coach the pistons, at least with some hope.

At present, Richard has seven super huge sets of parts. If he can get another one this year, it will be eight parts. It's only a step away from getting together!

……

For three reasons, Richard is sure to talk to piston about such a deal.
