Chapter 383 The Draft Begins (Monthly Ticket 3500 Plus Updates)
Now Richard has come to this world.
Whether it's Kobe Bryant or Barry, they are both Richard's disciples!
Now it is definitely not easy for Richard to remind these two people to be careful with Malone and Parker to prevent himself from being taken advantage of...
But once something like that really happens, Richard will never show mercy. He can find a hundred ways to save face for his disciples.
Because this kind of thing is really too bad...
It's easy for Kobe to say that, after all, he is not a good gentleman, and Barry is more miserable.
Good misfortunes fall from the sky, no, good cuckolds fall from the sky.
The key is that this cuckold was put on by his own brother...
Who can I talk to to explain this matter...
…
When Ben originally offered to fight Malone, the reason why Richard didn't object was actually partly because of Kobe.
Who knows if something similar will happen in the future? Let me help Kobe recover some interest first.
Didn't Malone want to challenge Kobe? Then let me first challenge you to a fight. I'll take care of you and give you a good beating first.
…
"Coach, how are you?!" Ben grinned, his mouth full of blood, and smiled at Richard.
"Good job, man!"
"I think that kid Kobe will thank you!"
Richard said with a smile.
Ben was startled, Kobe thanked himself? ! What does this mean...
"Coach, what do you mean? You don't want to keep that kid Kobe, do you?" Ben asked angrily.
"Jermaine and I both feel that you will renew our contracts and then let Kobe leave..."
Richard blinked, was he so obvious? Even these two rough guys saw it...
"We'll discuss this later. Hurry back to the hotel and have a good rest!"
"By the way, Golden Dragon will call you tomorrow for the two million in cash. You will tell him your account as soon as possible..."
When Ben heard about the two million US dollars, his eyes suddenly lit up...
Although Da Ben now earns a lot, this two million US dollars is equivalent to half of his salary for a season, and he got it in less than ten minutes!
"Hey, coach, do this kind of thing more often in the future to earn us some extra money..." Ben scratched his head and chuckled.
If he plays eight out of ten games in one offseason, he will earn 20 million US dollars. Just thinking about it makes him happy...
"Go, go, go! Do you think it's that easy? Look at your tendons, in the future only fools will follow you on the fighting stage..."
"Anyway, you have no chance. I'm sure no one will agree to your invitation to fight in the future!"
Richard rolled his eyes and said...
Even Ma Long gave Ben ten minutes to KO. Who would dare to fight with Ben in the future?
…
You don’t need to think about it to know that even if I have the shame to challenge other players in the future, they will definitely not come...
What are you here for? ! He gave Big Ben a beating in vain, but in the end he didn't get any benefits at all.
"Li, I feel that if CFC wants to expand its scale, it should actually give people appearance fees like other fighting events..."
"You can't afford it early, especially for some fringe players. They may participate in fighting matches for appearance fees..."
Golden Dragon suggested, standing next to Richard.
Richard nodded. Golden Dragon's suggestion is good. If you really want to expand the scale, both parties must benefit...
"Let's give it half a million dollars. The loser will get half a million dollars in appearance fees!"
"But it also depends on the player's rank. Don't let a rubbish player get half a million US dollars from us in vain!"
"From US$50,000 to US$500,000, it depends on the level of the team!"
After Richard thought for a moment, he made a decision...
Although this CFC is not very profitable at the moment, especially after paying the appearance fee, it will make even less.
However, this is because CFC has not made a name for itself. After tonight's game, I am afraid that CFC will attract the attention of a considerable number of fans.
By the time of the offseason next season, maybe we can save up three or four groups of matchups.
The greater the number of duel groups, the greater the natural influence...
Then the more money you can make, the more money you can make!
…
Early the next morning, major media outlets reported on tonight's no-holds-barred fight!
The TSN website even purchased an exclusive fighting video, which attracted many people to log in to watch...
In recent years, TSN's development momentum has been quite good, and it has now become the world's largest sports media website!
…
Ma Long's injury was not too serious and he had a mild concussion. No one knew the exact reason for his coma...
Many fans, especially those in Portland, ridiculed Malone for pretending to be comatose. Seeing that he could not beat the big team, he gave up by pretending to be comatose.
Ma Long naturally denied it...
When reporters asked Ma Long if he would participate in such an event again, Malone remained silent. It seemed that he had really learned his lesson this time.
…
When CFC revealed that they would give players appearance fees of US$50,000 to US$500,000, the entire NBA league was shocked...
The maximum reward is half a million US dollars, and it only takes about ten minutes to play, or half an hour at most. This is a great deal!
If you are lucky enough to win, you will receive a bonus of two million US dollars!
Those players who are more adventurous are now beginning to think about how to get the qualifications to play...
Jordan even jumped out to join in the fun at this time, saying that if he didn't retire, he would probably drag Reggie Miller to play in this game.
…
Overnight, CFC gained quite a high reputation in the United States!
Neither Richard nor Golden Dragon expected that something they created on a whim would receive so much attention!
It's normal when you think about it. There are a huge number of fans in the United States. It's very exciting to see the familiar stars in person on the fighting stage and fight to the death.
For example, in later generations, if James and Durant said they were going to fight in the fighting ring, fans all over the world would probably go crazy...
These stars themselves bring their own traffic!
Countless fans have asked if there are any CFC games this offseason. They didn’t have the chance to watch them last time. If there are games, they will definitely go there!
Seeing the physical combat between the stars with your own eyes is definitely something you can brag about for half a lifetime.
But the reply they received was extremely disappointing. CFC only arranged one event this offseason, which was the just-concluded Big Ben Malone No Limits Fight.
As for whether there will be any new events during the offseason next season, this will have to be announced separately.
After all, if in this new season, all the players in the league become Mr. Nice Guys and there are no conflicts, or there are conflicts, but no one is willing to go to CFC to resolve the conflicts, then CFC will definitely have no games to play.
…
The unrestricted fighting incident between Ben and Ma Long has come to an end.
Richard was quite satisfied with the result of the fight. Anyway, CFC's reputation was finally established.
Malone must have contributed to this, but Malone didn't get any benefit at all. Instead, he gave Ben a beating and his reputation was damaged. Many fans called him a coward who pretended to be comatose.
This is very comfortable, letting Ma Long work for free, and then not paying a dime.
…
After this matter was over, Richard immediately faced a new problem.
The team's assistant coaches "ran away" one after another...
The first was Laimbeer, the Blazers' chief assistant. What Richard didn't expect was that this guy was hired by the Bulls to be the head coach.
It's really speechless...
At the beginning, Laimbeer and the Bulls were almost in a fight to the death, but now because of the departure of Jackson Jackson, the Bulls have no choice but to extend an olive branch to Laimbeer...
Needless to say, the quality of the assistant coaches produced by the Trail Blazers, Carlisle has fully proved this.
Now that the Bulls have taken the lead, Laimbeer is also very interested in joining the Bulls.
The two hit it off instantly...
Before signing the contract, Ranbir told Richard the news.
What could Richard say? It was impossible to stop Ranbir. He could only wish him a bright future.
After Laimbeer left, Del Harris also submitted his resignation to Richard.
The reason why he stayed in the Trail Blazers last season was actually to see the Trail Blazers defeat the Lakers...
As a result, this situation did not happen, and the Trail Blazers did not meet the Lakers in the playoffs.
Now that the new season is about to begin, it makes no sense for him to continue to stay in the Trail Blazers. It is impossible to stay in the Trail Blazers as an assistant coach...
He simply resigned and returned to the NCAA.
Of course Richard was reluctant to part with it, but he didn't hold it back either.
People have a better destination, so what's the point of keeping them by yourself...
Two more of the original five assistant coaches left, leaving Stevens, Zhang Weiping and Dave Cowens.
Fortunately, these three people are enough to deal with daily affairs.
…
Laimbeer had just announced that he would join the Chicago Bulls, and the Lakers released an official announcement the next morning that Jackson Jackson would join the Los Angeles Lakers...
This news is quite exciting for Lakers fans. In their view, Zen Master is a god-like existence. Now that he has come to the Lakers, he may be able to lead the team to kill the Trail Blazers!
This coming season is the best time to kill the Trail Blazers!
…
Richard had just finished dealing with the assistant coaches' matters, and then received a call from Purdue's old Philip.
This call is mainly to report to Richard the enrollment situation of Purdue University this year.
The situation is not optimistic...
This year, there are only three players on the list given by Richard, Carlos Boozer, Mike Dunleavy and Jason Richardson.
Among them, the one who can be called an All-Star is Boozer. The others, Dunleavy and Richardson, cannot be regarded as real stars.
Richardson actually has the honor of being the dunk king twice...
As for Dunleavy, he has no outstanding honors in his career.
The main reason is that the quality of the players in this Golden Arches All-Star Game is extremely poor, even worse than the previous game...
Richard is the tallest among the shortest, so he chose these three people!
According to previous years' standards, neither Dunleavy nor Richardson is eligible to be on Richard's list.
But this year I have no choice but to make do...
As a result, among these three people, Old Philip only recruited one Richardson, and the remaining two did not recruit.
This makes Richard feel quite miserable...
Although the lineup composed of Richardson, Prince and Jefferson is quite strong.
But I really don’t have much confidence in winning the championship...
But that's all for now. Purdue University has won five consecutive championships. Even if it doesn't win the championship this time, it won't hurt.
Purdue University is still one of the strongest teams in NCAA history...
…
Things are almost settled, the draft is coming soon, and Richard is still looking forward to this year's draft.
A Ginobili and a Kirilenko are both players that Richard is looking forward to.
If these two people can successfully join the team in time, then these two people may occupy two spots in the Blazers' starting position next season.
Of course, Ginobili is more likely to appear on the bench...
…
In mid-July, the draft begins.
Richard brought Stevens here again this time...
The night before, Richard summoned the six Purdue players participating in this year's draft.
Judging from the faces of these six people, they were a little unhappy...
The main reason is that this year the Trail Blazers don't have a single first-round draft pick, and I haven't heard of Richard making any moves to trade draft picks.
"Coach, have you traded a high-ranking draft pick..." Artest asked with a grimace as soon as they met.
Richard smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Because the six of you participated in the draft, it is so easy to get high-ranking draft picks now..."
"If any of you draft picks fall below 20, I can pick..."
Six people smiled bitterly, after the 20th pick? ! Totally impossible...
All six of them are small green room candidates and are unlikely to fall behind the 20th pick.
"Hey, coach, I really feel sorry for you. You said we have so many good players, but you couldn't choose any of them!"
"You are so pitiful..."
Artest said with a grimace.
Now that the Trail Blazers have won the championship and gained great honor, several players naturally want to join the Trail Blazers...
Although joining the Trail Blazers may not give them too many performance opportunities, they know Richard's temperament very well and will definitely not let their own people suffer.
He will try his best to let his disciples show their worth...
Now that Richard said he didn't get a high draft pick, several people were naturally extremely disappointed.
"Okay, don't talk so much, let's start the ceremony quickly. I dreamed a few days ago that I was wearing a West Lafayette gold medal..."
"Finally, I have waited for this day...I decided that after the draft is over, I must find a girl with a big butt to have fun with!" Odom said while rubbing his hands aside, looking slutty.
Richard rolled his eyes and grabbed Odom's ears: "You kid, I remember I told you, right? Stay away from those big-assed girls!"
"Everyone else can, but not you!"
"If I find out that you provoke a girl with a big ass, watch how I deal with you!"
Odom's ear was pulled by Richard, and he felt unspeakably aggrieved. He had provoked someone...
Is it wrong to like big butts? !
