In fact, Frank also told a little lie.

His wife's health was indeed not very good at the moment, and he really wanted to take this opportunity to spend time with his wife.

But this is not his main purpose.

His main purpose is actually to make friends with Richard...

A new coach, who has just been the head coach of the team for less than two months, naturally has a sense of crisis.

There is no guarantee that he will be fired by the Nets management after this season...

This is Frank's biggest worry right now. No one knows whether he can keep his position as Nets head coach for a long time.

He could also see that Richard enjoyed the All-Star Weekend, so he took this opportunity to show his kindness to Richard.

If he is fired by the Nets, at least he will have a way out on Richard's side. It shouldn't be difficult to find an assistant position under Richard...

Even if Richard doesn't want the qualification to lead the All-Star team, at least his good attitude has been shown. If he asks Richard for help in the future, he will definitely be able to talk better.

You must know that Richard is more than just a head coach. In the second half of this year, he will become the owner of a team!

Solving a work problem for Frank would be a piece of cake.

"Frank, my man, are you sure?!"

"Are you sure you want to give this qualification to me? You have to think carefully..." Richard asked a few more questions.

It would be better to finalize this matter, so as not to make a mistake and make everyone look bad.

"Okay, Li, I will announce this news when I get back tonight. According to the new rules of the league, I have the right to hand over this qualification to you." Frank said sincerely.

Richard clapped his hands and laughed, "Okay, man, I owe you a favor for this. If you need my help in the future, just ask!"

Richard couldn't hide his joy, this Frank is a good guy, very good...

If there is a chance in the future, it's not that I can't help this little guy. After all, Frank's coaching ability is quite good and he is considered a rare talent.

…

Early the next morning, NBA officials released the news that Frank voluntarily gave up his qualification to lead the All-Star team due to personal matters and handed it over to Richard.

This news is quite unexpected. No one expected that Frank, a new head coach, would be willing to give up such an opportunity to show his face...

New head coaches basically have no presence in this league, and the elimination rate is quite high. In many cases, fans of some teams may not pay much attention to their team's new head coaches.

Anyway, most of these newcomers are just passers-by to the NBA. They may be fired after coaching for half a season.

…

On February 15th, the All-Star Weekend officially started. This was Richard's first consecutive All-Star appearance, so he was naturally extremely excited.

Currently, I have collected three pieces of the super giant suit. If I get one more this time, I will have nearly half of them.

…

"Ding ding ding..." Richard's cell phone rang.

He grabbed it and saw that it was Tiana who was calling.

"plum……"

"I...will..."

Tiana hesitated, her tone sounding very shy.

Before Richard could react, Tiana immediately hung up the phone...

Richard looked confused, what is going on? What do you want?

He smacked his lips and thought about it carefully. Could it be that Tiana is...

At the previous press conference, Richard mentioned the matter of supporting his family. When asked by reporters, Richard said that he would listen to Tiana regarding his marriage plan.

Because of Pierce being stabbed, Richard had no intention of contacting Tiana, but today Tiana took the initiative to call...

Simply say "I do", even if Richard is a fool, he can understand what it means.

Not long after, Richard's phone rang again, and he was about to call Tiana back.

"Li, you are such a bad boy. Can a woman take the initiative in such a thing?" Paul Allen said angrily.

"Ahem, Paul, my old buddy, I was just dealing with reporters' questions at the time."

"What? Deal with it? Do you mean that your kid has no plan to marry Tiana? Which hotel are you staying in? I will deal with you now..."

Richard was stunned, my dear, is this the time to force a marriage?

"Don't, don't, don't, you have something to say, my old man."

"I must have planned to marry Tiana..."

Originally, Richard was thinking of telling Paul Allen, but it wasn't time yet.

But I guess after I said these words, Paul Allen could really run to his hotel and clean up after himself...

"Ahem, Paul, I'll get married. Isn't it okay if I get married..."

Upon hearing Richard's words, Paul Allen immediately became happy.

Being able to get Tiana to marry a man like Richard was a relief for him.

In his opinion, Richard may be the only man on this earth who is worthy of Tiana...

"Okay, Li, we will be a family from now on. Let's set the wedding date during the offseason. It just so happens that you take over the Charlotte Pirates at that time. It can be regarded as a double blessing, a good harvest in career and love."

Offseason? Richard was stunned. Isn't there still only four or five months left? Less than half a year...

Are you getting married now? For a moment, Richard seemed to be in a dream.

What followed was inner joy. In half a year, I would really be able to start a family and start a business.

It would be even better if I could have a baby sooner...

…

After hanging up the phone with Paul Allen, Richard stayed up all night and texted Tiana until late into the night.

As a result, early the next morning, what the young couple did not expect was that Paul Allen took his sister Jodi Allen to hold a press conference.

It was announced that Richard will hold his wedding on July 7 this year, in Charlotte.

This news directly detonated the entire basketball circle...

Richard is really going to get married, really going to marry the daughter of the Allen family!

This is an absolute winner in life, and everyone in the basketball circle is envious of Richard.

Richard himself is a successful elite in the industry, and he is about to get 50% of the equity of a team.

Now he is married to the daughter of the Allen family. This is simply a powerful combination.

When Paul Allen retires in the future, will the Trail Blazers be inherited by Tiana...

Does this mean that Richard can control two teams in the future? !

…

"God, why is Richard so uneasy!" Stern was about to cry. After learning about the marriage, he immediately thought of Richard's possible control of the two teams.

Although he had known about the close relationship between Richard and Tiana Allen before, he didn't think much of it...

The chances of an old American falling in love and getting married are simply too low.

But now that the marriage news was announced, Stern immediately became very uncomfortable...

"Adam, do we need to introduce a rule to restrict Richard? After all, he is now related to Paul Allen..." Stern may be addicted to making rules. After encountering something, he All I thought about for a moment was to introduce a rule.

Xiao Hua quickly waved his hand, saying this must never be done.

Now the relationship between them and Richard has just eased. Richard helped them a lot before, but now they have to deal with Richard...

It is estimated that what awaits them will be Richard's thunderous revenge.

The current chairman of the players union is Allen Iverson...

Although Iverson does not seem to be suitable for such a job, he has a high reputation after all. When the players union voted for president, he had only one competitor, and that was Michael Curry.

This is a small-time player who has no impressive achievements in the NBA and is not convinced by the crowd.

Originally, Iverson was definitely not interested in this kind of job, but Richard asked him to take it, so he took it.

Anyway, the players' union usually doesn't have much to do, and it won't affect Iverson's private life.

The chairman of the players union is Richard's man. What does this mean?

It means that if the West Lafayette gang makes a desperate move, it is fully capable of launching a strike after the end of this season, which may cause the NBA to enter a shutdown like before!

This is definitely a scene that Stern and Xiao Hua never want to see.

As for the reason for the strike, it is easy to find. They are dissatisfied with the salary distribution, want to increase the salary cap, and boycott the dress code. Anyway, any one of them is enough for the union to organize the players to start a strike.

If Iverson is a polished commander, there is no need to worry too much, but now that Iverson has a large group of sub-league stars around him, this matter is quite dangerous.

Moreover, even if the players union takes no action, can Paul Allen just watch his own people suffer?

Obviously it's impossible. With Paul Allen's charlatanism and his current relationship, I'm afraid Paul Allen will definitely unite with a group of bosses to oppose it.

…

So at the first opportunity, Xiao Hua was ready to dissuade Stern from his crazy plan.

"Mr. President, it's still early for what you're worried about. At least it won't happen until Paul Allen retires. And now Paul Allen is still very young. We don't have to worry about this situation for at least the next thirty years. "

"If that happens, it won't be too late for us to find a solution..."

Xiao Hua tried to dissuade Stern and asked him to calm down.

His words are still useful, Stern thought for a moment, thirty years from now? I am over ninety years old, and I wonder if I can live that long.

…

Richard also heard the news. Since the wedding date is set for July 7th, he had better prepare early. After all, marriage is a major event and cannot be ambiguous.

…

At 8 o'clock in the evening on February 17, the All-Star Game begins.

The All-Star coach leading the Western Conference team is Richard's "fellow" Flip Saunders.

After the two met, they inevitably exchanged pleasantries and asked about the current situation.

Sanders has been able to secure the position of head coach of the Timberwolves. His super high emotional intelligence plays a big role. Of course, his coaching ability must also be quite good. Otherwise, how could he lead the team to the first record in the Western Conference.

The all-stars from both sides have already begun to appear. Richard looked at the lineups of both sides and couldn't help but sigh.

It seems that in this All-Star Game, I can only get one All-Star light from Artest.

Although there are quite a few West Lafayette players participating in this All-Star Game, only Artest is participating in the All-Star Game for the first time...

The biggest reason for this embarrassing situation is actually that the NCAA has cut off its popularity.

Richard looked at the situation on the court and felt that he needed to rebuild the Purdue Dynasty.

In fact, it is not impossible for Richard to find high-quality players. With the popularity of the Internet, it is not particularly difficult to find players. Some of the more outstanding high school players can find scraps of information on the Internet.

It's just that Richard didn't feel it was necessary to continue to maintain Purdue's dominance. Relying solely on the draft can ensure that the West Lafayette group continues to grow.

But now it seems that it is quite necessary to maintain Purdue's dominance, at least so that it can gain more benefits in the All-Stars.

"It just so happens that the following Black March is here. When March is over, spend some time to help Old Philip and the others find some more reliable players." Richard thought to himself.

…

Just when Richard was searching his memory for high school players he could get, the All-Star Game was over.

In the end, the East led by Richard won the West. McGrady was awarded the MVP of this All-Star Game with 28 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals.
