The Lakers got off to a winning start, and even though they have the league's top record this season and tonight's game is their home court, it's still a bit of a surprise......

The Trail Blazers actually lost?!

It's hard to imagine......

It's been quite a long time since the Trail Blazers lost in the playoffs.

Last season's Trail Blazers playoffs, won all 15 games!

And in this season's playoffs, the Trail Blazers also won all seven games......

Tonight they finally lost!

It seems that the fans were right, and the Lakers are really the roadblock for the Trail Blazers!

In fact, it's normal to think about it, if the Lakers' lineup plays well, it is not impossible to win the Trail Blazers.

Besides, tonight is the home court of the Lakers, and they have home-court advantage......

……

didn't wait for the Lakers fans to be happy, and their second home court was directly defeated!

O'Neal's free throws did not improve permanently, and the last game was just an unexpected outburst.

In this second Western Finals, O'Neal encountered a difficult free throw problem in the first quarter of the game, so in this case, Richard naturally had to seize this opportunity!

Zen master Jackson couldn't help it, and only let O'Neal play for less than six minutes in the first quarter!

Because O'Neal's free throws tonight were too bad......

O'Neal is not on the court, even if Kobe Bryant plays extraordinary, he is actually not afraid.

Maybe against other teams, even a team like the Spurs, if Kobe Bryant plays extraordinarily, he may lead the team to kill the game.

But in front of the Trailblazers, that couldn't happen.

Without O'Neal, Xiao Ao is the league's No. 1 center!

The destructive power he created in the Lakers' restricted area can be imagined!

At 113:92, the Trail Blazers directly defeated the Lakers by 21 points!

Among them, Xiao Ao can be said to be a big kill in this game!

The number of shots is not very much, Xiao Ao only made 21 shots in this game, but these 21 shots were in exchange for Xiao Ao in exchange for 31 points!

In addition, the rebounding data Xiao Ao also recorded a lot tonight, cutting 13 rebounds!

With a super double double of 31 points and 13 rebounds, Xiao Ao is completely male tonight!

Of course, the reason why such terrifying data can be cut is actually because O'Neal does not have a lot of time on the field......

Normally, when the shark slashing tactic can be used against O'Neal, Richard will replace Xiao Ao to try to make Xiao Ao's playing time stagger O'Neal's playing time.

In the case of O'Neal, maybe Xiao Ao can only score seven points with his ten-point strength!

But if he doesn't play against O'Neal, Xiao Ao can play a real game!

The Lakers don't even have a backup center......

When O'Neal wasn't on the floor, the Lakers' only interior line was AC Green.

Xiao Ao plays an AC Green, which is really as simple as cutting melons and vegetables......

……

After this game, Kobe Bryant's face was quite ugly!

In his opinion, the loss was due to O'Neal's free throws......

What if O'Neal's free throws could have been better? Not to mention much, even if it only reaches the level of sixty percent, then the Lakers will not necessarily lose tonight!

……

In the first two home games of the Lakers, they only kept one, and the second home court ended in a crushing defeat!

Next up is the home of the Trail Blazers......

Although the league certainly doesn't give the Trail Blazers a home whistle, it doesn't matter, Richard really doesn't care much about whether the referee gives the whistle or not.

The Lakers and Trail Blazers are also old rivals, and the two sides didn't shout anything before the game, they all started the game with a dull head.

In the third and fourth games of the Western Conference finals, the Trail Blazers relied on free throw tactics to win the Lakers.

This made Kobe Bryant completely unbearable!

"Can't you practice your damn free throws?!" When the Lakers were training on the team, Kobe Bryant yelled directly at O'Neal.

Even if Richard crossed over and affected a lot of things in this world, it didn't affect Kobe Bryant shouting at O'Neal.

Kobe Bryant was still mad at O'Neal as he would normally have in history......

This roar directly made O'Neill roar.

The two almost had a big fight, if it weren't for their teammates to stop them, I'm afraid they wouldn't have to fight in the West Finals G5, and the two cores of their team were hospitalized, and they were still beaten.

The Zen master is really vomiting blood now......

He knows very well that don't look at the fact that the two sides are still calm now, they are all holding back!

If the West loses to Richard, can Richard not mock the Zen master?!

And if the Lakers win, the Zen master probably won't miss the opportunity to taunt Richard......

Anyway, these two are holding their back now, and everything will be said until they win.

The winner is qualified to speak!

But what makes the Zen master desperate now is that when the team is facing a desperate situation, the two cores of the team are actually fighting among themselves!

How is that good......

The Lakers have been forced to a dead end by the Trail Blazers, falling behind with a score of 1:3, although the next game is the home of the Lakers, but Kobe Bryant and O'Neal are infighting, can they win this home court?!

……

On May 31st, the West Finals G5 will start!

The Lakers' life-and-death situation, the fans of the entire Staples Arena, looked quite nervous.

By the time the game started, it was obvious to the fans that something was wrong with the atmosphere on the Lakers' side.

Kobe Bryant and O'Neal both looked bitter and bitter, and the two did not communicate with each other during the whole process after their debut.

Even if there is eye contact, their eyes are full of disgust.

What the hell is going on?!

Lakers fans don't know that Kobe Bryant and O'Neal have a falling out......

……

What made Richard laugh out loud was that the Lakers were cool......

He also didn't know about Kobe Bryant's falling out with O'Neal, after all, Kobe was embarrassed to talk to Richard about this kind of thing.

But judging from the situation on the court, Richard can also guess that there must be something wrong between Kobe Bryant and O'Neal.

The main thing is that Kobe's performance tonight is a little too lonely.

In the past, the Lakers' tactic was that when Kobe Bryant broke through with the ball, if the defense was too tight, he would share the ball with O'Neal under the basket.

With Kobe's ball-sharing, his own second-time offense to grab offensive rebounds, and other players' shots, O'Neal's average number of shots per game can be about the same as Kobe's.

And tonight without Kobe, the biggest source of ball possession, O'Neal's shots are directly more than one-third less!

At the end of the first quarter, O'Neal only took four shots, which was unimaginable......

Richard didn't even bother to use shark slashing tactics.

Kobe Bryant may be angry, which causes his shooting efficiency to be a little low, and O'Neal doesn't have much ball, so it's strange that the Lakers can win.

……

"Doot toot!" The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and Richard crossed his waist and laughed wildly at the old Nicholson, a hardcore Lakers fan.

This old guy has been making noise in his ears, and after three away games, Richard has long wanted to clean up this old guy......

Lakers fans are completely dumbfounded, what the hell?!

The Lakers weren't swept, but they were killed by a big score of 4:1, what's the difference between being swept and being swept?!

Originally, they thought that even if the Lakers couldn't beat the Trail Blazers, they would have a chance to fight a 4:3 tiebreaker!

Taking a step back, it's not too much to ask the Lakers to play 4:2, right?

After all, the Lakers have Kobe Bryant and O'Neal, two MVP-level supergiants!

But now, the result is only 4:1, and it is still the case of the next city first, and it is four cities in a row!

What the hell do you Lakers coaches and players do?

The fans were quite dissatisfied, and the boos were overwhelming......

……

Richard led the team to exit the game in a hurry, preparing to return to Portland overnight.

The West Duel was fought so easily, it was really something Richard never expected!

When he lost the first game, Richard even felt that there might be a tie-break in this round of Western Finals......

But what even Richard himself didn't expect was that the Trailblazers would win four cities in a row!

Easily kill the Lakers and get tickets to the finals!

The whole Portland City is completely boiling, and the Western Conference Final was won so easily, so is the championship far away?!

At the moment, the Pacers and the Philadelphia 76ers are in full swing, and the Pacers have a slight advantage, and they are currently leading the 76ers with a score of 3:2.

Regardless of who makes the cut, Trail Blazers fans are confident that they won't be a match for the Trail Blazers!

The championship is stable......

……

Back in Portland, Richard sat in his office and pondered.

Judging from the current situation, Maddie must be gone, unless he is willing to accept a contract with an annual salary of about five million!

The salary cap will go up a bit next season, and Richard will squeeze out a contract of about $5 million when he squeezes it out.

But if Maddie switches to other teams, he can get an annual salary of more than 10 million, and it is unlikely that he will stay with the Trail Blazers for 5 million dollars......

Maddie is gone, so Richard will definitely not continue to give Maddie too many opportunities to perform in the Finals.

In case of......

Just say what if, this Finals MVP is taken by Maddie?!

Then it will be embarrassing, the Trail Blazers let go of the two Finals MVPs in two years, which will become the biggest strange event in the entire NBA history!

Richard would never allow this to happen!

In the first three rounds of the playoffs, Richard has given Maddie plenty of opportunities to perform, and as for this finals, Richard wondered if he should let Big Ben or Xiao Ao try to win this MVP.

Last season, Richard let Kobe Bryant go, in fact, many people complained!

But if Big Ben or Xiao Ao get the FMVP in this season's finals, these complaints will definitely disappear.

Everyone is FMVP, who to keep is not to stay......

A few days later, the results of the Pacers and the Philadelphia 76ers were also in, and Larry Bird finally led the Pacers to qualify for the Finals.

They won 4-3 against the 76ers......

The 76ers actually lost quite unjustly, mainly because in this round of the series, Pacers small forward Jalen Rose broke out wildly, averaging 23 points and 5 rebounds per game!

This Jalen Rose, Richard is naturally no stranger.

When Larry Brown coached the Pacers, Jalen Rose also jumped out to provoke Richard and the Trail Blazers, but was deposed by Bowen once, and it took three months to recuperate.

After he came back, the Pacers actually rested him every time they played against the Trail Blazers and didn't give him a chance to play.

The reason for this is that I am afraid that the Trail Blazers will continue to play the idea of abolishing Jalen Rose.

Later, Larry Brown was fired, and Larry Bird took over, and because there was no one available on the team, Bird put Jalen Rose in the starting lineup.

As a result, this release directly released a quasi-all-star.

In the just-concluded regular season, Jalen Rose averaged 18.2 points per game, which directly became the scoring champion of the Pacers.

Of course, his scoring champion is not very safe, because Reggie Miller's scoring is averaging 18.1 points per game!

Judging from Miller's scoring data, this thing is really old......

……

With the rise of Jalen Rose, the Pacers have played smoothly this season and finally mixed in with the Finals, which is simply beautiful.

"Li, let's talk about it, don't make a bad idea in this round of the finals......"

The day before the Finals began, Bird called, mainly because he was afraid that Richard would hack Jalen Rose.

"You mean Jalen Rose?!" Richard asked with a smile.

"It's not like he's anyone, man, in the past regular season, when we Pacers met the Trail Blazers, we would have Jalen Rose rested, and that's a sign of respect for you......"

"But now I really haven't done a ** break, this is the finals, and the scoring champion in the team is really unreasonable!"

Larry Bird said with a wry smile.

He can't tell if Richard still holds a grudge against Jalen Rose......

If Richard still holds a grudge and blacks Jalen Rose on the court, the Pacers will be finished.

Although Larry Bird does not have much hope of winning the championship, even if there is a glimmer of chance, he will definitely go for it.

"Larry, what do you think of me Richard, will I rely on that dirty means to win?!"

Richard said dissatisfied.

These words directly left Larry Bird speechless, don't you guys use less dirty methods......

"Besides, Jaylen Ross actually doesn't really have any impression of me, just a small person!"

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to him......"

"If you don't mention it, I'll forget about it, and forget that you have such a player on the team!"

Richard said with a smile.

This is not pretending to be X, Richard really hasn't paid much attention to the situation of the Pacers, and even Jalen Rose became the scoring champion of the Pacers, he only found out about it after watching the news a few days ago.

Richard's words almost made Larry Bird cry.

Good guy, the scoring champion of his own team, in Richard's eyes, is just a small person, which is really completely unreasonable.

But Larry Bird thought about it, and Richard really had the confidence to say this.

How many people on the Trail Blazers are better than Jaylen Rose? Larry Bird thought about it, and it seemed that he could pull out five or six casually, stronger than Jaylen Rose!

Big Ben, Little O, Robinson, Nowitzki, Maddie, Ginobili, Harrington......

Larry Bird felt like he couldn't keep counting, and if he kept counting, he might cry!

The Trail Blazers have so many strong players in the team, which makes them how to live as Pacers!

……

On June 7, the 1999-2000 NBA Finals officially began!

As the first Finals of the new century, the NBA still attaches great importance to it, but the unequal strength of the two sides makes this Finals basically no suspense.

The finals without suspense are actually the most boring and the most unattractive to fans!

It can already be predicted that the ratings of this finals may not be as high as the ratings of the Western Finals.

……

"Jermaine, Ben, you two must fight well tonight!"

"No, you must play well in this series, I will give you plenty of playing time, and it's up to you whether you can get the MVP!"

Before the start of the game, Richard privately chatted with Big Ben and Xiao Ao, reminding them to work hard.

The MVP of the finals is an honor with a high gold content......

Perhaps everyone has a different opinion of these honors, some people think that FMVP is more valuable than regular season MVP, and some people think that regular season FMVP is more valuable than Finals MVP.

But no matter how you look at it, these two honors must be the top two in terms of gold content.

Richard still thought that his closest two Auburn could get this honor, and both of them had been with him for a long time......

Xiao Ao has been with Richard for four years!

And Big Ben followed Richard for six years......

has been in love for a long time, although it is not that kind of love, but in the entire Trail Blazers team, Richard must be closest to Big Ben and Xiao Ao.

Now that there is a chance to win the MVP, Richard will definitely prefer to let one of these two win it.

Of course, it also depends on the ability of the two, if they don't play well, it is not impossible to be taken away by others.

All Richard can do is give the two plenty of time to play!

……

The first two games of the Finals were home to the Trail Blazers.

"Doot toot!" The referee blew the whistle for the start of the match.

Ao and Schmitz walked to the halfway line to execute the jump ball......

Schmitz is now almost a four-man on the Pacers, averaging only one 13+5 per game in the regular season this season.

As a 224-tall center, he only averaged 5 rebounds per game, which is really a bit unreasonable.

But there is no way, because his body is really thin, which causes him to not survive in the penalty area at all, and the interior line of most teams in the league can easily squeeze him out of the penalty area.

In this case, the rebounding data is naturally pitiful......

If he can gain a foothold on the inside, with his height, it is no exaggeration to say that it is really not difficult to average more than 9 rebounds per game, after all, a lot of defensive rebounds, in the case of the opponent's active defense, he can reach out and pick it up, no matter what, there will be only five rebounds in the account.

……

After Xiao Ao got the offensive ball for the Trail Blazers, Maddie flew directly to the front court, and raising his hand was a dry pull!

Maddie is so excited right now!

It's the grand final!

If he can play well, maybe he can win the honor of MVP in the Finals......

The temptation for this honor is simply too great for Maddie!

may also be because he thought too much, his opening three-point shot directly hit the iron, and the rebound was picked up by the big book that rushed to the frontcourt.

Seeing that there was only one Jalen Rice chasing after him, after Big Ben grabbed the rebound, he jumped directly on the spot and won the dunk!

Before the opening, Richard's words touched Big Ben a lot, and he also wanted to compete for this Finals MVP!

As a blue-collar worker, compete for the MVP of the finals!

In the past, this kind of ball Ben might have waited for Xiao Ao to rush over, and then he gave Xiao Ao a card position for Xiao Ao to make a shot.

But tonight, Big Ben is alone!

……

The ball was converted, and it was the Pacers' turn to attack the round.

Veteran Mark Jackson made a careless move and was directly tackled by Artest, who was in a side position, and the latter made a long pass to Xiao Ao who had just passed the half......

Xiao Ao turned around directly, made a layup alone and dunked violently, and even made a defensive foul by Schmitz.

Direct 2+1 hit!

Richard watched from the sidelines and nodded again and again, both Big Ben and Xiao Ao were very motivated tonight, and they were all riveted to fight for the MVP of the finals.

……

In the next offensive round of the Pacers, they finally returned the color, and Reggie Miller hit a three-pointer from the outside, rewriting the opening score to 5:3!

After the Trail Blazers' offensive round, Richard was directly a little incomprehensible.

Xiao Ao under the basket actually handed the ball to Big Ben, and then carried the Pacers' two interior Schmitz and Dale Davis alone to card Big Ben!

Big Ben was dumbfounded......

He has played in the NBA for four years, but it is the first time he has encountered this scene, and the first time someone has helped him to get a position!

All along, it is the big book that gives people a card position and creates offensive space for others!

Big Ben didn't give up this excellent opportunity to dunk in the vacancy, and the whole person jumped up, holding the ball in both hands!

In terms of aesthetics, Big Ben's dunk is really not a little aesthetic, extremely bulky, but no matter how ugly it is, the ball just goes in!

"What are you doing?" Big Ben frowned and looked at Xiao Ao, this kid was really a little strange just now.

"Didn't do it......" Xiao Ao scratched his head a little embarrassed.

"I just remembered something and feel like this year's Finals MVP should be given to you!"

The thing that Xiao Ao remembered was naturally the help that Big Ben helped him when he was a rookie......

It can be said that if there were no big Ben's various crazy card slots, Xiao Ao's growth time would have to be delayed a lot.

Xiao Ao remembered Big Ben's help to him, and remembered that countless nights, Big Ben frantically carried the opponent's two inside lines to make himself comfortable to shoot......

He made a decision.

That is, I will also help a bunch of Ben myself this year!

Help this big brother who has been selflessly working for himself and the team......

"You're stupid, aren't you?!" Big Ben's eyes widened, and he couldn't understand what Xiao Ao was suddenly crazy.

"I'm not stupid, I still have a chance next year anyway!" Xiao Aohan said with a smile.

……

The situation on the field must be that the Trailblazers have a considerable advantage, and what makes Richard and tens of thousands of fans dumbfounded is that Xiao Ao has become a card maniac!

As long as he has the opportunity, Xiao Ao will give Big Ben as much space as possible to dunk the card, and even some of the rebounds he can grab are also given to Big Ben!

When the game ended, Big Ben's stats directly surprised everyone.

22 points, 22 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 blocks, 2 steals!

This data is directly against the sky, the data of double 20 in the finals?!

Since 1985, no one in the entire history of the NBA has been able to play a double-20 in the Finals......

Moreover, Daben's data is not just a simple double 20!

This is 20+20+5+5 data, which is extremely rare!

Not to mention the finals, no one has ever played such data in the regular season......

There may have been such data before 1985, but after 1985, in the past ten years, including the regular season and the playoffs, no one has played such a data!

Scorpion's unique data, and it was played in the finals, Big Ben directly made the headlines of major sports media the next day!

That's pretty much a historical statistic......

Big Ben was happy after the game, and the feeling of cutting down big data was quite gratifying.

Richard didn't expect Big Ben to explode so much tonight.

However, he can also see that Xiao Ao is frantically helping Daben brush data, and at the moment, Xiao Ao's behavior is more like a kind of feedback.

Big Ben has helped Xiao Ao countless times before, and now Xiao Ao is ready to feed back Big Ben at such a critical moment, giving him the opportunity to impact the MVP of the finals!

If Big Ben really wins the Finals MVP this year, it will be amazing, and he will become the only pure blue-collar FMVP in the entire NBA history!

Finals MVP with the lowest score in the regular season!

I'm afraid that when fans mention the honor of MVP of the finals in the future, they will definitely be inseparable......

Richard is also looking forward to it, and he has a hunch that if Big Ben gets the FMVP, there may be some good rewards in the system.

……

In the second game, it was still the home of the Trail Blazers.

In this game, Big Ben didn't want Xiao Ao to help him, and he felt a little sorry for Xiao Ao in his heart.

The value of the Finals MVP is too great, and Big Ben doesn't want Xiao Ao to miss the opportunity to compete for FMVP for himself.

In the end, this game recorded 8 points, 19 rebounds and 4 blocks, although it was not as luxurious as the last game, but it was also a pretty dazzling data.

……

After two games, Larry Bird has completely abandoned the idea of competing for the title.

It's really too big a gap between the two teams, and if you still want to win the championship now, it's completely like a toad who wants to eat swan meat.

Although the first two games were the home court of the Trail Blazers, the Trail Blazers did not enjoy any home whistles, and maybe even the league was balancing the strength of the two sides, and at the home court of the Trail Blazers, slightly gave the Pacers some home whistles.

But even so, the Pacers lost badly in both games, losing a total of 40 points.

How else is this ball played?!

Game 3 of the finals, back to Indiana.

In fact, Indiana is Richard's home base, and he started his business here.

There is no fan in the entire state of Indiana who does not know Richard's name.

The Pacers are Indiana's only NBA team, but they are not the fan's favorite basketball team, and their favorite is definitely Purdue, which has won five consecutive championships.

Now that Richard, the founder of the Purdue dynasty, is here, you can imagine the madness of the fans.

Even if this is the finals, when Richard entered, there was no boos at the scene, all of them were cheers for Richard!

Maybe in the eyes of Indiana fans, Richard is their Indiana signature, and if Richard wins the championship, they are completely acceptable.

There were even a number of fans on the sidelines, holding signs that said that Richard would leave the Trail Blazers and come to coach the Pacers......

That almost didn't Larry Bird to death!

Whose home is this?! The quality of this year's Pacers fans is really unreliable......

……

In the third game, Big Ben relied on his own ability for the first time and cut down 10 points, 20 rebounds and 3 blocks!

Big Ben's performance made Indiana fans even more crazy!

For no other reason, in the eyes of these fans, Big Ben is also the player they have walked out here......

What made Larry Bird collapse directly was that the audience actually shouted the slogan of Big Ben MVP!

The entire Pacers players were speechless, and they felt like they were playing a fake home game tonight.

Is there such a home game? I'm afraid you fans are fake Knicks fans!

……

As for the fourth game, Big Ben's score shrank a bit, only 6 points were scored, but the rebounding and blocking statistics were still hot, with 19 rebounds and 5 blocks!

The Pacers were swept straight by the Trail Blazers.

This is also the second year in a row that the Trail Blazers swept their opponents in the Finals and won the championship!

The entire Pacers home arena is boiling directly, and I am afraid that even if the Pacers win the championship, the excitement will be like this......

"Richard!"

"Richard! Come on the walkers! ”

"Big Ben, MVP!"

"Big Ben, MVP!"

All the fans were cheering, making the Pacers players look quite ugly and leave the court directly.

Richard got the technical stats for this round of the Finals from Stevens.

The main thing is to see who has a better chance of winning this MVP, Big Ben and Xiao Ao.

Xiao Ao's series in this round is actually no worse than Big Ben, he directly killed the Pacers insider, and he was able to get an average of 25 points, 10 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game in four games, which is definitely the top data at the super giant level!

With 25 points, he is also the highest scorer of both teams......

As for Big Ben, although his score is far inferior to Xiao Ao, his rebounding and block statistics are much more than Xiao Ao, even twice as many as Xiao Ao.

Big Ben's all-time top-level rebounding prowess and defensive prowess are truly extraordinary.

After four games, Big Ben averaged 11.5 points, 20 rebounds, 4.25 blocks, 3.5 assists and 1.75 steals per game.

The only thing that is inferior to Xiao Ao is the scoring data......

Now Richard is also anxiously awaiting the result of the Finals MVP.

Stern started to take the stage, still with that professional smile on his face, which made people feel that he was a kind and kind old man......

But those who are familiar with Stern know that this is not a kind and kind old man, and he is probably talking about people like Stern with a thick face and a black heart.

"I declare the 1999-2000 championship winner to the Portland Trail Blazers!"

"Congratulations to the Trail Blazers, you've had a great season again!"

……

After two consecutive championships, Richard was like a dream, and this was his fourth season in the league, winning two championships.

No matter how you look at it, Richard didn't expect that he would be able to achieve such an achievement before entering the league.

The second consecutive championship has been obtained, so the next goal must be to create a dynasty.

But Richard also knew that it would not be so easy, and the alliance might set up some obstacles in the process of building a dynasty for the Blazers.

For example, there are strict rules to limit shark cutting.

……

"I declare the MVP winner of the 1999-2000 season of the Grand Final as ......"

"Ben Wallace!"

"Congratulations to Ben, his success is enough to prove that talent is not the most important thing for a player, the most important thing is hard work!"

Stern spilled another wave of chicken soup, and Big Ben is definitely an inspirational type.

The identity of the second-round pick, winning the Finals MVP, coupled with his short and unspeakable figure, gave hope to many short and rough players.

What big instincts can do, they may not be able to do!

……

After the award ceremony, Stern had just stepped down and Richard immediately jumped onto the podium.

"Ahem, it's my turn to present the award!"

The fans cheered wildly, and the only reason they hadn't left the stadium at the moment was to see who had the good fortune of joining West Lafayette this year!

West Lafayette is their Indiana city, though it's just a small and inconspicuous city......

"Nowitzki!"

"Harrington!"

"Mobley ......"

"Ginobili!"

Tens of thousands of fans chanted the names of the Trail Blazers players who they thought were all qualified to join West Lafayette.

"Driver, come on stage!" Richard said with a smile at Nowitzki.

Nowitzki's face was full of excitement, good fellow, it's finally time to wait for this day!

Last season, Bowen and Martial Saint Jackson joined West Lafayette, and he was envious......

And this season he finally got the opportunity to join Silafayette.

rushed directly to the podium with an arrow step, and the speed was not like words......

"If you kid has this speed when defending, I guess you can get into the defense this year!" Big Ben grinned and teased Nowitzki.

The young driver smiled and scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

Richard solemnly wore the driver's exclusive gold medal on Nowitzki's neck.

"Young man, you have a happy future, and in my opinion, your future achievements will not be lower than Duncan and Garnett!"

"Come on, the stronger the strength, the greater the responsibility, if you become the master of a team in the future, see the fallen West Lafayette brothers, remember to help!" Richard patted Nowitzki on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Nowitzki nodded solemnly, "Coach, don't worry......"

The young driver didn't talk much, but at the moment he just remembered Richard's words, and if he really ran into the death of the Silafayette brothers in the future, and he became the leader of the team, he would definitely lend a hand.

"Harrington! Come on stage! ”

After handing out the gold medal to the young driver, Richard called Harrington up again.

"Thank you, Coach!" Harrington was grateful......

Although he knows very well that with his performance this season, he is actually quite good, but his talent is really nothing in the Trail Blazers......

And now that Richard has given him so many opportunities to perform, he is naturally quite grateful to Richard.

"No thanks, man, come to my office when I get back to Portland tomorrow, there's something I want to talk to you about!"

Harrington was stunned, could it be that the trailblazers in the grapevine would trade themselves, is this true?!

If the Trail Blazers really want to trade themselves, Harrington can still accept it......

The main reason is that the Trail Blazers really don't have too many opportunities to appear, and if he changes teams, he may become the second leader of the team, or even be cultivated as the team's big leader, which is also a completely possible thing.

If it is really traded, Harrington is a little reluctant, but for the sake of his future, he will definitely raise his hands in favor.

……

After Harrington, Mobley also won the gold medal of his coveted West Lafayette.

The three newcomers that Richard just got this year, Ginobili, Artest and Kirilenko also won the gold medal of West Lafayette!

The performances of these three people are quite outstanding, and Richard feels that it is harmless to give them the gold medal in advance.

Seeing that one teammate after another won the gold medal of West Lafayette, and even the three newcomers of this year won the gold medal, Rashad Lewis in the audience was like a dead heart.

He is extremely bitter in his heart now, is he really that bad......

Seeing that his teammates who entered the league at the same time as him are all in the mix, even Braggs, who was sold cheaply by Richard, is now being reused under Larry Brown.

Only himself, he really has no sense of presence in the Trail Blazers, like air,

Richard also seems to have neglected himself......

Just when he was bitter in his heart, Richard stood on the stage and shouted at the bottom.

"Rashad, come to the stage!"

Lewis looked sluggish, Richard was calling his name?! He hasn't forgotten himself?!

"Hurry up, boy, you're going to be developed!"

"Haha, I feel like you're going to take off next season...... the team's veteran players teased Lewis.

Lewis lunged up to the podium.

"Young man, you've done well in the past two seasons and you're going to get a lot of playing time next season, take advantage of it......" Richard said with a smile as he patted Lewis on the shoulder.

Lewis pinched himself so hard that he felt like he was dreaming!

Richard said he had a good two seasons?!

It's almost like air, which is not bad......

But he didn't have time to think about it now, only to hear Richard say that he would get a lot of playing time next season!

This made Lewis's whole eyebrows flutter, and after waiting for two years, he finally waited for today!

In Richard's plan, Harrington will be traded next season, and Lewis is naturally going to start using it.

……

Richard directly awarded seven gold medals in West Lafayette!

Among the current players on the team, except for Robinson and Curry Sr., two veterans, that is, Maddie does not have a West Lafayette gold medal.

Richard didn't buy Maddie's West Lafayette gold medal......

Both he and Maddy know very well that after this game, Maddie can no longer be considered a Trail Blazers player to be precise.

Richard and Maddie can't be regarded as a master-apprentice relationship, so in fact, Richard has no reason to award Maddie the West Lafayette Gold Medal.

Although Rashid and Richard are not in a master-apprentice relationship, Rashid played under Richard for three years, and was even more willing to sign a one-year contract with the Trailblazers......

In this case, Rashid can be regarded as approving of Rashid.

And now in Maddie's special situation, Richard really can't give him a gold medal.

There was a little disappointment in Maddie's eyes, but it was only fleeting......

He had expected this outcome, and although he was still a little disappointed, it didn't last long before it disappeared.

He has a great future ahead of him, and he firmly believes that he will never be worse than the Silafayette players in the future!
