Chapter 50: I'm going to meet that son of a bitch
Later, Ma Jian enrolled in Utah Valley Community School, where he averaged about 17 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists per game......
Some people may think that this data is quite impressive......
But think about Big Ben's scummy offensive skills, in a game at the level of a community school, he can get an average of 24 points, 17 rebounds and 7 blocks per game......
Big Ben lost in the NBA Draft, and Ma Jian's result can be imagined......
Later, Ma Jian finally got the opportunity to enter the NCAA Division I conference and joined the University of Utah Run Utes in the same league as UCLA......
In the first season, he averaged 22 minutes per game, scoring 8.2 points and 3.7 rebounds, which is a remarkable, not bad, but definitely not top-notch......
Later, with the addition of Van Horne, Ma Jian basically sat on the cold bench and didn't get any chance to play......
Then there is to participate in the draft, and at the time of the Clippers draft, he competed with Barry Jr. for the same spot and was ruthlessly brushed off......
Of course, the Clippers, who held the list of eye signs, did not choose Barry Jr. in the end, but chose power forward McDyce!
Richard recalled Ma Jian's deeds, and couldn't help but sigh, it was really fate......
But he can't help Ma Jian, after all, he has gone to the draft, and he will definitely not be able to go back to play in the NCAA......
……
"Prophecy?" Richard smiled and looked at the nine stars in front of him.
"Okay, then I'll prophecy again......"
"All nine of you will be in the NBA in the future!"
"And all of them will be All-Star caliber players!"
"Several of them will be NBA Finals MVPs in the future!"
After Iverson and the others listened, they looked around in amazement, they knew that Richard had a good eye for selecting people, and the six people who joined the team this time may have good strength......
But they didn't expect Richard to predict that these six newcomers would be like Iverson in the future, all of whom will be All-Star level players!
It's just shocking......
If someone else said this, Iverson would definitely scoff at it, but it was said by Richard, and Iverson believed it in his heart!
Big Ben and Miller were also shocked and speechless!
This prediction is much more terrifying than last season's prediction!
There are only nine players on the same roster of a team, but there are nine All-Star players?!
A few freshmen were also dumbfounded......
They naturally have confidence in themselves and think that they will definitely enter the NBA in the future, but they did not expect that every one of their teammates would be so strong......
Or rather, I didn't expect Richard to be optimistic about each of them!
"Of course, you still have to train hard and follow the path I say, otherwise my prophecy won't take effect......," Richard said with a smile.
"By the way, the Herald reporter is coming to interview you in the afternoon, so get ready......"
With that, Richard turned and left the training ground......
The rest of the players have not yet come out of the shock......
……
In the afternoon, a reporter from the Herald came to interview the players of the Boilermakers, and after Richard's prediction was known by the reporter, he almost didn't make the reporter crazy, which is definitely super news that detonated the whole United States!
The next morning, the Herald headlines came out!
"New Head Coach of the Year Richard, Says All Nine Members of the Team Are All-Stars"
Of course, today is the date of Richard's update, which updates the latest chapter of the novel......
……
When Richard saw that he was in the headlines again, there was no fluctuation in his heart, he knew very well that what he said was definitely not a big deal, and time would prove himself!
But what happened two days later made Richard furious, and he even wanted to take the West Lafayette gang to tear the man's mouth!
"Coach Larry, what do you think of Coach Richard's recent achievements?"
When the Pacers held their preseason press conference, a reporter asked Larry Brown questions......
Larry Brown is the head coach of the only NBA team in Indiana, and Richard is currently the hottest NCAA coach in the state, so reporters naturally want to know what the older Larry Brown will think of Richard.
Generally speaking, this kind of question, the person who asks the question must be a good one, such as Kuafor that Richard is a very good head coach, although he is young, but his coaching ability is not weaker than himself, etc......
But Larry Brown's answer was one that left reporters dumbfounded......
"Richard? Instructor? ”
"No, I don't think he's a real coach!"
"I've never heard of an NCAA coach being as arrogant as Richard!"
"All nine of them are future All-Star players, does he think that NBA All-Stars are hot dogs on the street?!"
"In my opinion, the new players he selected may be okay, but in the future, when they reach the level of the NBA, they will be a main bench at best, and they may not even be able to enter the NBA at all!"
At this, Larry Brown scoffed......
"And the accolades he's gotten, God, in my opinion, Jim Harrick is more deserving than he is, and Richard is just a hairy boy with shit luck!"
"I think with his level, in the NBA, I'm afraid he doesn't even have the qualifications to be an assistant coach, at least our Pacers won't want such an assistant coach without the slightest ability!"
The reporters are dumbfounded, what is the situation?!
There must have been some kind of conflict between these two men, otherwise, Larry Brown would not have slandered Richard so much......
But I haven't heard of any intersection between these two......
The reporters are a little confused!
But even if they don't understand it, it doesn't prevent reporters from writing their manuscripts......
What reporters want is topicality, no matter what contradictions there are between you, they will break out first......
When Iverson and the others angrily took the newspaper of the day and rushed into Richard's office, Richard had just finished reading the newspaper and tore the newspaper to shreds in anger!
"Coach, that damn Larry Brown! Son of a bitch Larry Brown! Iverson was furious, his face flushed!
"Coach, I'm going to take my guys to beat that bitch tomorrow!" Big Ben is also at the limit of his anger.
Larry Brown insulted not only Richard, but also the dignity of Richard's men!
"Calm down, guys!"
"Philip, help me arrange a press conference!"
"I'm going to meet that old son of a bitch!"
Richard clenched his fists and said viciously!
