Since Richard led the team to win the championship, Larry Brown extended an olive branch at the first time......

However, for Larry Brown's invitation, Richard directly refused angrily!

In addition to Larry Brown, there are several teams in the NBA that have contacted Richard, but all of them have asked Richard to be an assistant coach......

For these invitations, Richard naturally refused without saying a word!

What are you kidding, as long as Richard is willing, he can even play a record of 10 consecutive championships in the NCAA, will he be willing to be an assistant coach in the NBA?!

Apparently unlikely!

Seeing that it was hopeless to enter the NBA directly as a head coach, Richard directly signed a one-year contract with the school with an annual salary of 800,000 US dollars!

Although the contract period is very short, Vice Principal Gooden is also relieved......

Richard has never signed a contract, so he is worried all day long, what if Richard does not renew his contract with Purdue and goes to other schools to teach?!

What if there is no Richard's boiler worker next season and he doesn't even make it to the quarterfinals?!

Then he, the vice principal in charge of physical education, is expected to have a hard time......

And now that Richard has been signed, no matter what kind of results Richard leads the team to play next season, no matter how bad it is, Richard will carry the pot......

……

didn't get the chance to enter the NBA, Richard was actually a little disappointed!

However, this disappointment was only fleeting, because he knew that he would create even bigger surprises in the coming season!

……

Operation Dragon Ball has officially begun!

The first target was Billups, and Philip Sr. spoke to Billups and his family on the phone, and the other party also verbally promised to join Purdue.

However, Richard was really relieved about the old Philip's ability to recruit new ones......

simply took little brownie directly to meet with the Billups family in person and finalized this matter face-to-face!

When he met Billups, Richard realized what a wise choice it was to meet in person......

Kentucky, UCLA, Duke, North Carolina and other top schools have all recently been in contact with Billups, even if Billups has a history of injuries and did not participate in the Golden Arches All-Star Game, these top schools are obviously better to kill than let go......

In the end, Richard, the champion coach, came to the door in person and gave Billups a promise that Billups could not refuse!

In the freshman season, Billups will be given at least ten games to start, and it is the kind of start that can play the whole game as long as he has the fitness!

And these ten races, including at least one national championship!

Such a promise, whether it is UCLA or several other prestigious schools, can never be given, generally speaking, even the top few high school students in the United States play most of the freshman season as a substitute.

Billups's choice, as you can imagine, he was eager to make a note with Richard......

……

Billups, one of the Dragon Balls, was basically taken down by Richard, and the promised conditions were not too difficult in Richard's opinion.

In the league championship and subsequent national championships, the Boilermakers will play about 35 games, and the big deal is that Iverson will be rested for 10 games and Billups will be given a 10-game starting spot.

……

After taking Billups, Richard immediately rushed to his next destination!

South Carolina, Garnett's hometown!

The reason why Gane is the second target is naturally Richard has his own considerations.

First of all, Garnett's strength is strong, and in this Dragon Ball, Garnett's strength and future achievements are more prominent!

The second is that Garnett didn't go to college, and he directly participated in the draft as a high school student, and there is still half a month to go, and players who want to participate in the draft have to start submitting applications to the league......

Richard was afraid that before he rushed to find Garnett, Garnett had already submitted an application for the draft, which would be a bit painful.

Again, South Carolina is not far from Indiana, and it takes you five or six hours by car......

But after arriving in South Carolina, Richard almost scolded his mother angrily!

It's not that he was rejected by Garnett, and in fact, Richard didn't have much hope for Garnett......

The current Garnett, in terms of popularity, is much stronger than Billups, and Richard estimates that those top schools will definitely give a promise to directly let Garnett play as a starter, even so, Garnett still went to the draft without hesitation......

Richard just wanted to give it a try, what if it did?

But in the end, Richard didn't even see Garnett, only Garnett's stepfather......

As in Iverson's case, Garnett didn't have much of an impression of his father, who later remarried, and Garnett lived with his mother and stepfather......

Without saying a word, the stepfather refused Richard's request to meet Garnett......

Richard can naturally guess the reason, if Garnett enters the NBA, he can directly make a lot of money, and if he goes to college to play, the ghost knows what will happen in the future......

Not to mention the time when he played in college, Garnett had no money to make, and if he suffered a serious injury during college, he might not even have a chance to enter the NBA in the future......

It's better to go straight to the draft now and get a multi-million rookie contract guaranteed!

……

In this way, Richard left South Carolina empty-handed, and he didn't even meet the iron-blooded wolf king in the future!

The second Dragon Ball is directly out of play......

However, Richard was not discouraged, he was not confident enough to collect all the Dragon Balls, although he couldn't get Garnett, didn't there be five Dragon Balls left......

Richard's third Dragon Ball is located in Florida......

Half-human, half-god!

Vince Carter!

"Vince, if you watched us last season, it should be clear that we need a good swing forward, especially with Barry Jr. leaving, and I think if you're willing to join us at Purdue, I can promise you a starting point back or starting small forward position!"

Seeing that Carter didn't have much trouble, Carter's family belonged to the middle class of the United States, so his mother was not in a hurry to let Carter enter the NBA......

Of course, in fact, Carter is also a reorganized family, his biological father abandoned his mother and Carter and other three children, but Carter is more fortunate than Iverson or Garnett that his stepfather is a teacher with a stable job......

Richard went straight to the point and said his thoughts......

"Coach Lee, it's great to meet you, you had a perfect season last season! To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that I had already agreed to join North Carolina, I would definitely have Purdue as my first choice......" Vince Carter said politely.

It can also be seen from this that Carter's education as a child is quite good.

When Richard heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed, and he was actually taken by North Carolina!

"North Carolina? Vince, why did you come up with the idea of going to North Carolina? You know, they haven't played any decent results in years......"

"Because of Jordan!" Carter's answer was resolute.

……

After leaving Carter's house, Richard was still a little depressed, and Carter's reason for joining North Carolina made Richard speechless......

Because North Carolina is Jordan's alma mater......

Because North Carolina is out of Jordan!

What else could Richard say, he could only start the rest of his journey.

Dragon Ball has already searched for three, but only one of them has been found, which is Billups......

Next, there are Truth Pierce, Commissar Ma, Jamison, and Rahim, who Richard had made up his mind before!

With the departure of Brent Barry and the graduation of Green, the original small forward on the team, the small forward and scoring guard positions of the Boilers are extremely empty, and it can even be said that no one is available!

Of the remaining four, Pierce can play the 2/3 position, which can be said to be the best puzzle piece of the lineup.

And Jamison plays as a two-way forward in the 3/4 position, which is also a pretty good choice for the team!

As for the political commissar Ma who plays the No. 1 position, and Rahim, who plays the No. 4 position, of course Richard also wants it, but it is not necessary, if he is willing to come, he is naturally welcome, and if he is unwilling, Richard does not force it......
