Chapter 652: Eastern Champion Banner, We Can't Afford to Lose That Man

Sanders' face turned pale, and he couldn't figure out how Richard could see their Pistons tactics?

It's simply not possible.

Self-punishment and self-robbery is not a conventional tactic at all, how can any pervert regard self-punishment and self-robbery as a conventional tactic, I'm afraid only this kind of perversion will appear.

Sanders was completely improvised, allowing Yao Ming to complete this self-punishment and self-grabbing, and fight for the last chance of life.

But Richard was able to see through this tactic for the first time, which was too strange.

Not only Sanders, but also the Rockets players on the court also looked at Richard in amazement.

They heard Richard's two shouts clearly, and they knew that something was wrong.

Sure enough, things really didn't go well, and Iguodala and Granger were tightly guarded, leaving the two offensive points of the Pistons completely unavailable.

The moment the ball was shot by Granger, the whistle blew for the end of the game, and the game was over.

The Buccaneers narrowly defeated their Eastern Conference opponents by two points on their home court.

The pirate fans at the scene shouted Richard's name in shock, and many fans on the sidelines heard Richard's roar, and after a pass, the fans in the stadium knew that Richard had cracked the opponent's temporary tactics.

It's amazing, magical to the point where the fans feel incredible.

They couldn't figure out how Richard saw through it.

However, because Richard has shown too much magic, fans don't want to delve into the reasons at the moment, just enjoy the thrill of the team reaching the finals.

In just three years since the establishment of the team, the Pirates have already reached the finals and become the strongest team in the East!

This made the Toronto Raptors, who are also Eastern teams, feel embarrassed......

Last season was the best playoff ranking in team history since the Raptors were founded, although it was only fourth in the East, but how was it a team in the top half of the playoffs.

The Raptors, founded in 1995, have now played for 12 seasons, but the result? Fourth place in the East is their best record, compared to the Pirates three-year finals, it is completely incomparable.

When the Raptors were three years old, they were still playing with mud......

……

With the tickets to the finals, the next thing is to see if the Pirates can win the championship, if they win, Richard will once again reach the top of the altar, and in three years, he will lead a completely new team to become the strongest team in the league, which is definitely something that God can do.

Richard breathed a sigh of relief, it was not easy, this may be the most torturous round of the divisional semifinals since Richard entered the league.

Although it looked easier to win with a score of 4:1, Richard didn't feel relaxed at all.

Yao Ming walked over to Richard, Richard laughed, I'm afraid Yao Ming has a lot of doubts in his heart now.

"Coach, congratulations, you have advanced to the finals." Yao Ming's face was a little lonely, but he still squeezed out a smile to congratulate Richard.

As time progresses, Yao Ming knows that the strength of the Pistons will decline year by year, after all, the strong newcomers that Richard chose at the beginning are now going to get big contracts.

This year, the Pistons can remain strong, and starting next year, it may not be so easy for the Pistons to continue to make the Eastern Conference finals.

"Don't be discouraged, don't be discouraged." Richard patted Yao Ming's arm and comforted Yao Ming.

"The NBA league is like this, feng shui takes turns, no team can stay strong forever, you already have a good career, don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"Think about the miserable players, you're doing a lot better than they are right now."

Richard smiled and comforted Yao Ming.

Yao Ming nodded, he understood what Richard said, but being eliminated like this still made Yao Ming feel uncomfortable.

"By the way, Coach, how did you see through our temporary tactics just now?" Yao Ming asked curiously with a frown.

When Richard coached Yao Ming before, Yao Ming did not use this kind of self-punishment and self-robbery trick......

"What's so difficult about this, my vision is not only reflected in the draft, Da Yao, go back and comfort Sanders, don't blame Sanders for this, there is nothing too wrong with his arrangement." Richard touted himself in a small way.

Yao Ming nodded, he was a little angry with Sanders after the game, if Sanders played according to his own advice, then the two sides might have started overtime now.

……

After the game was over, the fans at the scene were still reluctant to disperse for a long time, because according to the custom, there was a flag-hoisting ceremony next.

The Pirates defeated the Pistons in the Eastern Conference finals, and naturally they were the champions of the East, and they could fly a flag of the Eastern Conference champions over the Buccaneers' empty arena.

Jordan had arranged this, and he had been waiting for this night for a long time.

Richard didn't get involved in that, and he didn't know what to do next.

When he saw the staff on the scene, holding the Eastern Championship flag and starting to get busy, Richard immediately dissuaded him.

"Don't hang up!"

"Don't hang up, we can't afford to lose this person......" Richard told the staff to stop.

Jordan sat on the sidelines, saw Richard dissuade the staff, and immediately walked onto the court.

"What's wrong? Lee, why don't you hang the Eastern Championship flag? Jordan was a little puzzled.

"Michael, are you sure you want to fly the flag of an Eastern Conference champion?" Richard rolled his eyes, he didn't expect Jordan to be so hungry.

"Don't you hang? It's an Eastern Conference champion anyway......" Jordan said in a tangled voice.

"What Eastern champion, if you don't win the championship, this Eastern champion is the second place, haven't you heard of it, the second place is the number one loser." Richard said with a frown.

"Second place is the number one loser? Good guy, who said this, it's just too arrogant, but it's so good, if only I knew this sentence when I played, I would definitely be able to infuriate those men to death! Jordan was pleasantly surprised.

Richard naturally wouldn't tell Jordan that this was a famous quote that Kobe Bryant said later......

"Michael, seriously, you have built two dynasties and hold six championship rings, and I Richard have one dynasty and five championship rings, don't you feel ashamed that you say that we are like this and hang the banner of the Eastern champion?"

"That's just a mere Eastern Champion flag, man."

When Jordan heard this, his whole body was shocked, what Richard said was right!

What is his identity Jordan, the first player in the history of the league!

What is Richard's identity, although he can't be regarded as the first coach in the league yet, but it's only a matter of time.

It seems really embarrassing that these two first-person level figures, the team they built by themselves, actually hung the banner of the eastern championship.

The price is too cheap.

"Li, you're right, we can't hang this flag, if we hang it, it's really embarrassing."

"Wait, I'll explain to the fans." Jordan immediately said that he would not hang the Eastern Conference championship flag, and took the microphone from the staff on the side.

"Dear fans and friends, as is customary, in fact, we are going to fly the Eastern Conference championship flag tonight." Jordan whispered to the 20,000 fans at the scene.

The fans immediately shouted, the Eastern champion is good, and it is also a championship banner anyway.

"But just now Richard reminded me that we can't fly this flag."

"No one can deny that Richard and I are both successful members of this alliance."

Richard was right, if the Eastern Conference champion doesn't win the championship, to put it bluntly, he is just a sad number one loser. Second place is just the number one loser, we have to do the first place! ”

"We pirates are very special, the flag of the Eastern champion does not match the identity of our pirate team, the only championship flag that can be hung in the pirate arena is the championship flag!"

"The first flag hung in the sky above the Pirate Arena will inevitably be the championship flag, and I believe it won't be long!"

Jordan shouted to the 20,000 fans at the scene.

20,000 fans are like chicken blood, and the Pirates are too domineering.

The division champion, whom other teams regarded as treasures, was not even qualified to hang over the arena in the eyes of the Pirates!

And the Pirates do have such confidence, their two bosses, as Jordan himself said, are the success of this league, and they are more qualified than anyone else to say such domineering words.

In particular, the sentence that the second place was only the top loser made the fans at the scene very excited, and they were glad that the previous Charlotte Hornets had moved away.

If they don't move out, how can these fans have such a domineering home team as the Buccaneers.

……

Jordan said, handed the microphone to Richard, and motioned Richard to say a few words, at this point in time, it is the best time to unite the centripetal force of fans.

Richard was not polite, took the microphone, and walked over to Jordan.

"Guys, remember that every pirate match you see next is a miracle."

"We have begun to rise, and the future is ours!"

"This season, in the coming seasons, you will witness the birth of a dynasty!"

Richard's words, the dynasty mentioned, made the fans almost faint with excitement.

They were under the impression that Richard was not the kind of person who liked to make a big fuss.

Even when the Pistons beat their opponents with an absolute advantage and won the first championship, Richard never mentioned the dynasty.

And now that the Pirates haven't even won the first championship, Richard mentioned the dynasty, which shows that Richard has an extremely strong confidence.

Fans don't want to know where Richard got the confidence, they just know that Richard will definitely fulfill his promise!

"Dynasty!"

"Dynasty!"

Countless people in the court were cheering, and Durant, Beasley and Curry also joined the cheering fan group.

Especially Durant, the whole person trembled with excitement, he was lucky this time, he was able to join a dynasty team just after entering the league, which was very beautiful.
