Chapter 426: Richard's Jersey Retirement Ceremony (Angry Shield Plus Change)

In addition to the famous spots, I also got three lucky draw chances this time!

This lottery opportunity is also quite precious, and last time I drew out a very powerful prop like mad dog lingering!

Now with three entries in hand, Richard felt like he was going to be able to draw something amazing.

Six-point coach full attributes, to be precise, it can't be called all attributes, it should be called all attributes of the lucky value......

This time, only three lucky attributes have been added, and the other attributes have really been added by six points!

In addition, I also got a universal attribute pill with a good value!

If you look at the attributes of this thing, it's really quite versatile, and the only limitation is that it can only be used for attribute attributes below 90 in a single item, which is also a good thing!

……

The harvest is quite fruitful, but at the moment Richard doesn't have the heart to draw the lottery, and the championship award ceremony is still going on.

Stern is already off, and probably he knows that it is Richard's time to do so.

As is customary, this moment is the time for Richard to award the gold medal of West Lafayette!

It was also the first time Richard had awarded a gold medal at home to West Lafayette.

When Byron Davis entered the draft, he had already won a gold medal, but Michael Reed did not have a gold medal in his hands.

Richard was about to leave the Trail Blazers, and he didn't care that Reed was just a rookie season.

Reed was presented with the only West Lafayette gold medal of the night.

"Young man, do your job, you may be the leader of a team in this league in the future!"

"Come on, all the hardships you have suffered now are the foundation laid for your future glory!"

Richard patted Reed on the shoulder and gave him a good encouragement......

In fact, Richard likes Reed quite a lot, this simple and honest backcourt player, can really be said to be an inspirational model, more inspirational than General Arenas.

Reed came from a second-round pick, which is the same as Arenas......

However, Arenas was too arrogant and buried his career with his own hands, while Reed was still conscientious even if he became the deer king.

It's a hard enough player......

……

The fans cheered after seeing Richard personally put on the Silafayette gold medal for Reed.

They knew it was time for Richard's speeches, which is the usual practice every season after winning the championship!

After winning the championship every season in the past, Richard would stand on the podium and scold Fang Xuan, and let out a bold statement that next season's championship has been booked by their Trailblazers!

But it's a pity that these words were said away from home, which made the home fans quite helpless, and they could only see Richard's demeanor on TV!

And now that they have finally won the championship at home, the fans are looking forward to Richard's speech tonight!

"I'm Richard, I'm going to bring four, five, six, seven championships to the Trail Blazers!"

"I, Richard, want to bring all my talent to Portland!"

"Portland will always be a super team!"

Everyone was expecting Richard to say something similar, and there was no doubt that as long as Richard said such a thing, the fans at the scene would definitely faint happily.

They admired Richard and loved Richard!

In their eyes, Richard is the hero of the city, the savior of Portland!

The greatest coach in the history of the Trail Blazers, no, arguably the greatest man in the history of the Trail Blazers!

Every word of Richard seemed to them to be the truth!

Even if Richard says he will lead the Trail Blazers to the league's championship for the next ten or twenty years, these fans will believe it immensely.

Richard can definitely do it!

……

Everyone was eagerly awaiting Richard's speech, but Paul Allen, team executives, and the Trail Blazers were all grim.

Although Richard did not tell Big Ben that he was leaving the team......

But they weren't stupid, they had already learned from Iverson.

All the while, they tried not to think about it as much as possible, praying in their hearts that Richard would change his mind after building a dynasty.

But looking at Richard's tangled face, they knew that Richard had not changed his mind, and he still had the intention of leaving the team.

……

In an instant, the joy of building a dynasty was washed away a lot.

……

Richard is actually very uncomfortable now, and he doesn't know if it is a wise choice for him to take advantage of this point in time to announce the news.

But he knows that long-term pain is better than short-term pain, and it is more important to let fans know the news earlier and let them accept the reality earlier.

"Dear owner Paul Allen, thank you for inviting me to join the Portland Trail Blazers, this may be the smartest choice of my life!"

"Like a dream, we really did it, we won the honor of three consecutive championships, and we created a dynasty!"

When Richard said this, he couldn't help choking up when he thought of the days and nights of the past five years.

"Thank you to my players, it's their tireless efforts that have allowed us to achieve so much!"

"Thank you, dear fans, it is your continued support that has made us full of energy and fighting spirit on the pitch!"

"I love Portland, I love the Trail Blazers, and this will be one of the most memorable memories of my life!"

Richard's eyes were red, and he choked up with the microphone.

Many fans were also moved by Richard, and at the moment they looked at Richard in the middle of the stadium with red eyes.

Richard took a deep breath......

"In the blink of an eye, five years have passed, and now it's time to say leave."

As soon as they heard this, tens of thousands of fans in the stadium and countless Portland fans who watched the live broadcast were stunned.

Is it time to say leave? Richard is leaving the Trail Blazers?!

No way!

Why should the good end leave the Trailblazers!

After a brief period of distraction, the fans suddenly lost their minds and roared at the Trail Blazers management on the sidelines.

In their view, the only possible reason for Richard to leave the Trail Blazers was that there was a problem with the Trail Blazers' management.

Richard hurriedly waved his hand and motioned for the fans to be quiet.

"There is an old Chinese saying that there is a banquet in the world, and my departure has nothing to do with the management of the Pioneers."

"If people are unhappy with my departure, what anger can be vented at me."

Big Ben and others on the sidelines, their eyes were red, and this day still came.

How could they be willing to let Richard leave, especially Big Ben, who followed Richard for seven years, and Richard was like a brother and father in his heart!

Now that Richard is leaving, he is the most uncomfortable person in his heart......

Paul Allen stepped up to the stage at this time and took the microphone from Richard's hand.

"Dear fans, everyone has their own ideals, and now that Richard has chosen to leave the team for his own ideals, we should bless him!"

"He has done enough for us Trail Blazers, let us enter the finals four times in five years, win three championships, and let us Trail Blazers create a dynasty!"

'It's something that no other manager can do in a lifetime, and we can't ask Richard to do more!'

"I'm afraid there is no one who doesn't want Richard to leave more than me, the first time I saw Richard, I knew that he was not an ordinary person!"

"He's definitely going to take our Trailblazers to the top!"

"Now, he did!"

"Besides, Richard has left us with a rather terrifying lineup, and we will still be the top seed in the league next season!"

"Let's bless Richard and wish him a smooth road ahead!"

"I wish him a new team and continue to create success!"

Paul Allen held the microphone with emotion and said to the tens of thousands of fans at the scene.

He certainly didn't want Richard to leave, but Richard did what he promised, and Paul Allen couldn't keep Richard.

……

The faces of the fans at the scene were gloomy, Paul Allen was right, Richard had already given enough for the Trail Blazers, and they couldn't ask Richard to give more!

Although these fans don't know what Richard's ideals are, since Paul Allen said that Richard is pursuing his ideals, even if they don't want Richard to leave, they can only accept this reality gloomily at the moment.

Some of the little fans in the stadium are already crying at the moment, and their heroes are leaving......

Richard watched the atmosphere of the scene become sad, and regretted that he had announced this decision on such an occasion.

Paul Allen smiled and said, "Guys, rejoice, tonight is the night of our triple crown!" ”

"We should be happy!"

"And, tonight, we've prepared a special ceremony, a ceremony to recognize Richard's contributions to our pioneers in the past five years!"

The faces of the fans at the scene stretched a lot, and when they heard what the ceremony was, they suddenly became a little interested.

……

With a wave of Paul Allen's hand, a giant balloon that had been hanging over the court exploded.

Among the balloons turned out to be a somewhat strange jersey!

There is no number, only one name.

Chard-Lee!

The audience was shocked, especially the reporters, who were going crazy......

What the hell is this?!

Even a fool can see that the Trail Blazers are retiring Richard's jersey!

This......

The reporters have completely lost the feeling of the dog in their hearts.

Richard hasn't retired yet, and you Trail Blazers are about to retire Richard's jersey, isn't it a little too spoiled Richard!

Richard was also dumbfounded, and he also saw that the Trail Blazers were going to retire their jerseys!

No one had told Richard about it beforehand!

"Paul, what's going on......" Richard looked at Paul Allen with a confused expression.

Paul Allen waved his hand, "Dear fans, although Richard has not retired yet, I think we Trail Blazers can only truly reflect our gratitude to Richard by retiring Richard's jersey on this occasion tonight!" ”

"Lee, thank you for your dedication to the pioneer in the past five years!"

"This is the glory you deserve!"

"Of course, retiring your jersey doesn't mean you can't go back to the Trail Blazers in the future, the door of the Trail Blazers is open for you at any time!" Paul Allen laughed and patted Richard on the shoulder.

The fans at the scene were also quite shocked, but at the moment, they felt that this thing was not so amazing.

Richard deserves such an honor!

More than anyone else deserves such an honor......

The jersey hangs over the Rose Garden Arena and is enough for these fans to remember the good times of those years!

"Richard!"

"Portland's doors are always open for you!"

"Portland Enforcer!"

"Portland will always be your home!"

Coming to terms with this reality, the fans began to cheer for Richard.

……

That group of reporters felt that tonight's news was almost enough for them to write for several days!

The Trail Blazers are really generous, and without saying a word, they directly retired Richard's jersey!

You know, in the entire history of the Portland Trail Blazers, there has never been a retirement of a head coach's jersey!

Even the head coach of the championship season did not get the honor of retiring his jersey!

And now Richard has received the glory of retiring his jersey, and he has received such glory when Richard has not retired!

……

Of course, it was clear to everyone that Richard definitely deserved such an honor.

Four finals in five years, three championships, what a terrifying achievement, early retirement of the jersey, not too much!

Richard breathed a sigh of relief, and the fans were relieved to accept this reality.

Turning his head to look at Big Ben and the others, Big Ben was looking at Richard intently at the moment, as if he had a lot to say to Richard.

……

Richard took the microphone from Paul Allen.

"Thank you, thank you!"

"Thank you so much, thank you to all of us in Portland!"

"I'm gone, but I'll always be with the Trailblazers!"

"Even if I leave, the Portland Trail Blazers will still be the toughest team in the league!"

"Any team that dares to anger the Trail Blazers, we only have one word!"

"Fuck it!"

Richard yelled......

Tens of thousands of fans in the entire Rose Garden Arena jumped up and chanted.

"Fuck it!"

"Fuck it!"

……

After the championship award ceremony, after witnessing Richard return to the locker room with the Trail Blazers, the fans left the scene unsatisfied.

Although Richard is gone now, but the dynasty has been created, what can they not be satisfied with......

What they want to do most right now is to find a place to have a drink with other fans and celebrate the birth of the Trail Blazers dynasty!

Moreover, after Richard's departure, the Trail Blazers have not changed much, and the following season, the Trail Blazers are still the top favorite seeds in this league to win the championship!

There is a great possibility to make a four-in-a-row dynasty!

Anyway, the routine of playing the Spurs and the Lakers has been thoroughly developed by Richard, as long as this lineup remains the same, any head coach can play casually!

I'm afraid that the lineup of these two teams will change next season!

But at the moment, these fans can't care so much, let's enjoy the joy of victory first!

……

Trail Blazers locker room.

"Ben, Jermaine, guys, I'm sorry!" After returning to the locker room, seeing that everyone was bowing their heads, Richard sighed and said.

Big Ben looked up at Richard.

"Coach, we all thought that there would be such a day."

"You don't have to say sorry to us, coach, and I wish you the best of luck!"

"Thank you for taking care of you for these seven years!"

Big Ben hugged Richard and cried like a child.

For seven years, they got along day and night, and the relationship between these two people was quite like family.

"Okay, Ben, I'm not going to hell, don't be so sad!"

"We will have the opportunity to meet many times a year since then......

Richard patted Big Ben on the shoulder and comforted.

"Well, the next time we meet the coach's team, we will definitely blow up!"

"Brothers, do you have faith!" Big Ben shouted.

"Yes! Burst! Burst! The generals burst into laughter.

……

Richard smiled, these sub-animals, now start to click and blow themselves up......

"Alright, Big Ben and Jermaine, you two are going to come with me to the press conference for a while!" Richard said with a smile.

Although the news of his departure has been announced, at least Richard is still the head coach of the Trail Blazers tonight.

If the official press conference does not participate, especially the press conference of the finals, there is no doubt that the league will issue a penalty bill to Richard early the next morning!

……

The entire conference room was packed, and the reporters were relieved to see Richard coming.

Originally, they were afraid that Richard would not come to this press conference, after all, they were going to leave the team......

As for the fine, in the eyes of the journalists, does Richard care about the fine?

It's good that Richard is here, and the headlines for the next few days will be written!

Now these reporters, what they want to know most is whether Richard has found a good home at present.

Who is this lucky team?
