Jordan took Kwame Brown to the post-game press conference. He wanted to take this opportunity to boost Kwame Brown's confidence.

The reporters were a little speechless. Judging from Jordan's attitude, he probably had a lot to say tonight.

"Kwame is just a young man. He entered the league as a high school student. The reason why I didn't give him too many opportunities to perform was because I didn't want to undermine his potential!"

"Although there are many successful cases of high school post players, such as Kevin Garnett and Jermaine O'Neal, I still want Kwame to adapt to the rhythm of the NBA first."

"Now that he has played for a season and a half, I think it is time for him to fully demonstrate his talent."

"Many media outlets are very dismissive of Kwame, a young insider. In my opinion, this is completely blind."

"Tonight's game against the Pistons is perfect proof that this young man has the potential to become the league's top center!"

"God, that's Yao Ming. In my opinion, this Chinese young man is as good as O'Neal. Kwame has an advantage in statistics tonight. What does this mean? It means that Kwame is not a parallel import as you say. !”

Jordan seemed to be in a really good mood. Not only did he praise Brown, but he also praised Yao Ming.

Use Yao Ming's power to complement Kwame Brown's performance tonight.

…

In fact, there is no need for Jordan to praise, the reporters already feel quite incredible.

In the eyes of reporters, Yao Ming's strength is indeed what Jordan said, and he is qualified to rival O'Neal in his rookie season.

The rookie statistics of the two are similar. O'Neal may be slightly better, but O'Neal's rookie season did not have such a strong record as Yao Ming...

Therefore, Yao Ming's performance in his rookie season was really no worse than O'Neal.

…

Tonight, Kwame Brown actually scored 25 points and 10 rebounds on Yao Ming's head. This simply made reporters feel like they were dreaming.

Could it be that, as Jordan said, Kwame Brown has potential, but Jordan didn't want to encourage it, and then never gave Kwame Brown too many opportunities to perform? !

"In the future, I never want to hear any media saying that Kwame is a parallel importer. If I get caught, I will never be done with them!"

At the end of the press conference, Jordan did not forget to say a harsh word.

…

After the Pistons' press conference began, Richard said some kind words to Kwame Brown quite generously.

"Kwame, this young man, in my opinion, even if he does not have the dominance of O'Neal, Yao Ming or Duncan, his potential will not be much different. I think if we give him a little more time, he will definitely create something for us. Come up with some surprises.”

"To put it bluntly, luck plays a very important role in the growth of every player. I think starting from tonight, Kwame's luck will come..."

Richard was really not kidding when he said this. Under normal circumstances, Kwame Brown actually performed quite brilliantly in the first season after Jordan retired, that is, the next season.

There is even a data income close to 30+20...

To say that he is a parallel import that cannot be saved is actually not the case.

In Richard's opinion, this guy's failure to grow may be due to his poor mental endurance...

As the No. 1 pick, he was constantly being scolded and stimulated by Jordan. In addition, his mental endurance was not good enough. Naturally, the more he played, the less confident he became, and he became cowardly...

If it were left to other teams, especially those rubbish teams, and they would treat it like a baby, I guess it would really be possible for it to grow.

Of course, it is impossible to grow into a super insider, but at least growing into a player of Kenyon Martin's level is quite promising.

After what happened tonight, Jordan will probably improve his attitude towards Kwame Brown, and it is very likely that this famous parallel import will be able to perform better on the court.

…

Early the next morning, last night's game had become a hot topic, leaving many fans stunned.

Kwame Brown actually beat Yao Ming in a matchup? Could this be a dream?

But the data shows that Kwame Brown's data is indeed better than Yao Ming...

Jordan made a special phone call to thank Richard.

In his opinion, Richard did this really well, and it made him look good.

Just imagine if Yao Ming had pushed Kwame Brown to the ground and rubbed him in last night's game, Jordan's old face would probably have been lost...

He had just finished talking to an ESPN reporter, and when he turned around and praised Brown, he was slapped by Yao Ming. It would be strange if ESPN didn't laugh at Jordan.

Now they have no reason to laugh at Jordan, because Kwame Brown's performance can't be faulted at all.

…

After this away trip, Richard led the team back to Detroit and finally saw the Joe Johnson he had been thinking about.

After the deal with the Suns was reached, the Pistons happened to be playing away games, so Richard asked single Joe to rest in Detroit.

…

Judging from Singles Joe's expression, he seemed a little depressed.

It's normal when you think about it. He is playing well in the Suns. According to the current situation, when Old Penny can no longer play, he will be able to find a stable starting position in the Suns...

But now that he was suddenly traded to the powerful Pistons in the Eastern Conference, he felt that he was getting further and further away from his starting position.

The main reason is that the Pistons have a lot of forward and defensive players, and they are all damn strong.

The most important thing is that they are all young enough...

At present, the Pistons' starting small forward and starting shooting guard are Gerald Wallace and Laga Bell respectively.

With the current situation, these two people have a chance to be selected as All-Stars. They are naturally very strong. At least in the eyes of the outside world, they are definitely better than Joe Johnson.

And both of them are young...

Gerrard and singles Joe are both rookies in the same class, and they are both young players.

In singles, Joe feels that if he stays with the Suns, when Old Penny dies, he will be able to find a starting position, and at least there will be hope.

But now that he is in the Pistons, unless he can show his strength beyond Gerrard and Laga Bell, it will be quite difficult to get into the starting position...

…

Richard couldn't help but laugh when he saw Single Joe's expression.

He knows exactly what single Joe is thinking...

When he coached the Trail Blazers before, many new players were actually afraid of joining the Trail Blazers because the players in all positions of the Trail Blazers were too strong and it was difficult for them to stand out.

Just looking at the Blazers' lineup, it would be an understatement to call it a rookie graveyard...

But it turns out that Richard is quite good at cultivating new people.

Playing time is like water in a sponge. If you squeeze it, you can always squeeze out some...

"Young man, what's wrong? Looking at your expression, it seems like you don't really want to join the Pistons?" Richard asked with a smile.

Single player Qiao San laughed. He had heard of Richard's name a long time ago. When he heard Richard say such words, he suddenly became a little nervous...

You won't make Richard unhappy as soon as you join the team, right? Then his career is almost over.

Thinking of this, Single Joe immediately smiled...

"No, coach, I'm happy to join a strong team like the Pistons."

"Please take care of the coach in the future..."

Richard nodded, "Of course you have to take care of me. You can rest assured and play well in the Pistons. I won't give you a big promise, but I can still guarantee you an All-Star position!"

Upon hearing this, Joe Johnson was dumbfounded...

Boy, isn’t that a big commitment? ! I had just joined the Pistons, and without even playing a single game, I was immediately promised an All-Star spot...

The promise was simply too big.

The key is this is the promise given by Richard...

"Young man, don't think so much. The only thing you need to do now is to hone your skills."

"Strive to perform your best in every second of the time I give you!"

"As for the All-Stars, since I dare to give you this guarantee, it is because I can see the potential in you. Otherwise, I would not have spent such a high price to trade you from the Suns."

Richard said with a slight smile.

He has discovered something now. Giving new players an All-Star guarantee is really useful.

Since Laga Bell received an All-Star guarantee from Richard, his whole body has been as if he has been beaten to death, and his defense on the court is completely life-threatening.

…

It's normal to think about it. For new players, it's too far away to talk about regular season MVPs or finals MVPs...

If Richard gave such a guarantee, people would probably regard Richard as a madman.

In fact, Richard cannot guarantee these two most valuable honors.

However, after Richard gave the guarantee of an All-Star position, these newcomers were quite convinced.

Richard's team has always had a high production of All-Stars. As long as Richard is willing, he can forcefully produce an All-Star.

An All-Star position is already a huge temptation for newcomers.

Now that Richard gave Singles Joe a promise about the All-Stars, it directly made Singles Joe feel hot.

He knows very well that based on his performance, he wants to be an All-Star? That is absolutely impossible.

But now that Richard has made a promise, not only is it a certainty, but he is at least 90% sure.

"Thank you coach, I will work hard!"

“I will definitely live up to the coach’s expectations!”

Single Joe's face flushed and he kept thanking Richard.

…

In the next home game, Richard rested Laga Bell, allowing Joe to play directly as the starting shooting guard in his first appearance with the Pistons.

Speaking of which, in fact, even if Joe is more than two meters tall in singles, his real position is shooting guard.

It’s not particularly accurate to say that he is a swingman, he is a pure traditional shooting guard...

With such a height, shooting guard position, coupled with Nash's precise passing, and the care of Yao and Ke on the court, Joe's debut performance in the Pistons in isolation was quite exciting.

He took 20 shots and scored 27 points!

In terms of offensive efficiency, although it cannot be said to be very high, it has improved a lot compared to Joe's normal performance in singles.

The most important reason for this improvement is actually Nash's contribution.

Marbury does not have Nash's strong organizational skills. In many offensive rounds, Marbury may not be able to find a chance to make a shot, and then hurriedly passes the ball to Joe in isolation...

In this case, it is surprising that Joe's offensive efficiency can be high in isolation.

After arriving with the Pistons, there was no such problem at all. If Nash really had to choose, he might be inclined to use organizational skills to solve the battle.

Therefore, Joe's shots in some offensive rounds in singles were quite comfortable, and his offensive efficiency naturally improved a lot.

After the game, singles Joe was shaking with excitement.

He felt that he had thought so much before, and it was really a bit mediocre.

Joining the Pistons is simply too exciting...

What is the starting position? If he can maintain such offensive efficiency, Joe feels that he can accept it even if he cannot get the starting position in singles.

A starter with a poor shooting percentage may not be as valuable as a main starter with good offensive efficiency.

…

After getting the singles Joe this season, Richard is basically not going to make any changes to the lineup.

What he needs to do next is to fatten up several players in the team who are about to be traded, and strive to exchange for some practical draft picks after the end of this season.

2003 was a pretty good year for the draft. In addition to those with relatively high draft picks, there were also many others who slipped through the cracks.

In this draft, Richard is going to take a tough shot.

The Pistons themselves have a lot of bargaining chips in this draft.

A first-round pick from the Grizzlies, if nothing else, should be the second pick.

The value of this second pick is quite high. In fact, Richard has not yet decided who to choose with this second pick...

Because there are so many players to choose from, apart from James, Richard can choose any newcomer from the 2003 class.

Speaking of the second pick, Richard thought of Darko Milicic.

Prior to the signing of Kirilenko, Richard had contact with Milicic and introduced him to the Moscow team.

In the past two years, Milicic's performance has been quite explosive, and he has already produced quite impressive statistics in the European League.

Even more exciting than normal...

There is less than half a year left before the draft, and many media have already begun to pay attention to the newcomers who may participate in the draft this year.

According to the media, Milicic may even be selected with the No. 1 pick in this year's draft.

Many people also learned from the grapevine that Milicic was a player discovered by Richard. I am afraid this will make Milicic even more popular in this draft.

In fact, under normal circumstances, Milicic's draft prospects are quite good.

That is to say, the Cavaliers held the No. 1 pick, and they already had center Big Z in their lineup. Otherwise, if another team had the No. 1 pick, it would really be possible to choose Milicic as the No. 1 pick.

…

But what left the teams speechless was that Milicic, who had taken the wrong medicine, revealed more than once in front of the media that the only team he could join in this year's draft was Richard's team. …

In other words, what this kid means is that he is only willing to serve Richard!

Even Richard was speechless. This was a bit embarrassing. He really had no idea of ​​choosing Milicic before...
