Just after the game ended, Richard received several messages.

"Congratulations to the host. The player Ron Artest has coached has participated in the All-Star Game for the first time, and the host is the team coach. The host Ron Artest will be rewarded with the All-Star Light."

Sure enough, in the end, Richard really only got one All-Star from Artest.

"Congratulations to the host, you have obtained the super giant elbow pads of the super giant suit."

Richard got four of the nine super suits!

Immediately after McGrady won the All-Star MVP, Richard was awarded a prop "Poor Man's Lucky Dice"

Richard is naturally familiar with the prop of lucky dice. He relied on this prop to get the No. 1 pick in the 2002 draft to select Yao Ming.

It can be said that this lucky dice is a very powerful prop.

But now that a poor man's version of the lucky dice came out, Richard immediately observed the properties of this prop.

"Lucky dice (poor man's version), after use, there is a 1% chance of increasing the host's lucky attributes to full value, a 49% chance of increasing the host's lucky attributes to 90, and a 50% chance of increasing the host's lucky attributes to 80!"

Judging from the attributes, it can be considered a very good thing, but compared to real lucky dice, it is definitely far behind.

At least if this thing is used in the draft, it won't have such a good effect...

Speaking of which, the No. 1 pick is very valuable, after all, it is the pick that can select the best player in the draft.

Generally speaking, no one will sell the No. 1 pick in their hands...

As for the picks after the No. 1 pick, their value is much lower.

For example, the second pick, whose value is second only to the No. 1 pick, will often be traded. If nothing else, at least in the next draft, the second pick will be traded away.

In Richard's opinion, the poor man's version of the lucky dice now has a low chance of helping him get the No. 1 pick. Maybe he can only get the No. 1 pick if he meets the one percent chance. .

…

In any case, although the harvest of this All-Stars is not much, in Richard's view, it is all picked up for free, and it would be good to gain something.

After the All-Star break, in about a week, the door to the trading market will be completely closed.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, many teams have begun to make transactions, striving to maximize the team's strength before the playoffs start.

The Pistons are naturally the focus of every team looking for deals.

But Richard is not interested in trading at all, and many teams are even eyeing Milicic, who has not played well.

Of course, the chips given are not big. After all, trading Milicic is quite a risky move.

These transactions were naturally rejected by Richard.

He finally assembled such a Pistons lineup in order to prepare for the upcoming expansion draft.

Among them, Milicic is his default candidate, so it is naturally impossible to trade him out at the moment...

…

In the blink of an eye, time has entered March, and every team is working hard to get a good seat in the playoffs.

But the Pistons are still taking their time. The main reason is that they are too far ahead of the second-place Nets in the Eastern Conference. No matter how hard the Nets catch up, they will definitely have no chance to catch up with the Pistons.

Moreover, the Nets actually have no need to catch up with the Pistons. In fact, there is not much difference between the record rankings of first in the Eastern Conference and second in the Eastern Conference in the playoffs.

…

Seeing that the team was on the right track, he just had to wait quietly for the playoffs to arrive, so Richard focused on the NCAA.

Black March is coming to an end, which means the complete end of the NCAA season. Purdue University's season has been completely miserable. It has not even qualified for the championship, which is quite desolate.

But when old Philip received Richard's call, hope rose in his heart.

Richard informed Old Philip that he would draw up a list in the near future, so he could take advantage of the fact that they didn't have to go to the national championship to recruit the players on the list.

Old Philip was naturally extremely happy. He was originally planning to retire after this season and hand over the position of head coach of Purdue University to Brownie Jr.

But with Richard's phone call, he changed his mind and decided to continue coaching for another year, no matter what, he wanted to taste the taste of a championship again.

After some sorting, Richard finally came up with this Purdue list.

The number one ranking is undoubtedly Chris Paul!

Some fans may be wondering, why does Paul have such a good relationship with James? There doesn't seem to be much connection between the two people. They even entered the alliance several years apart...

In fact, Paul knew James in high school, but James participated in the draft after high school, while Paul chose to enter the NCAA to continue to hone himself.

From the fact that Paul's name is on this list, we can also see the change in Richard's current selection strategy.

In the past, Richard excluded some players who had already joined the NCAA. Now, in order to be more confident in selecting high-quality players, Richard also put many first-year NCAA players on the list...

As for whether he can be deceived, it depends on old Philip's ability.

In addition to Chris Paul, Rajon Rondo is also on this list.

Rondo is not too troublesome. He has not graduated from high school yet, and Purdue can recruit him directly.

Rudy Gay, Al Jefferson, Josh Smith, Aldridge, Shaun Livingston, Glen Davis and others...

There are as many as twelve players on this list. Some of them, such as Chris Paul, who have a low success rate, have been specially marked by Richard.

As a result, as soon as this list was given to Old Philip, the other party immediately gave up the plan to recruit Paul...

There is no other reason. Paul is currently playing at Wake Forest University. Old Philip knows the nature of this team's head coach. If you want to poach him, you will definitely pay a huge price.

Although the one-year waiting period for transferring to another school has long been eliminated, old Philip felt that taking Paul was really not worth the gain.

…

After giving the list to Old Philip, Richard was relieved. There were at least five players in this list who had a high chance of being recruited.

If all five are recruited, the Boilermakers will start over and become an NCAA dynasty team again.

In the future, Richard will be able to add as much fresh blood to West Lafayette as possible.

…

In the blink of an eye, the regular season schedule is completely over.

The Pistons' record this season is not particularly outstanding, with only a record of 61 wins and 21 losses, but even so, it is a record that other teams in the Eastern Conference can look up to.

As for the Western Conference, this year’s record is quite weird...

The Timberwolves, ranked first in the Western Conference, only have a record of 58 wins. The Spurs, ranked second, and the Lakers, ranked third, both have a record of only 56 wins.

As for the fourth-place Blazers, they only have 55 wins.

The Pistons quietly managed to reach the top of the league's record list...

Even Richard is a little unbelievable. This situation in the West is really confusing.

It has always been a situation where the West is strong and the East is weak. Even though it has been almost three years since Richard came to the Eastern Conference, the Western Conference teams topped the record list in the first two years...

Of course, this year it cannot be said that the Eastern Conference is really better than the Western Conference. Excluding the Pistons, the Nets, ranked second in the Eastern Conference, actually only have 54 wins...

…

The eight playoff teams in the Western Conference are the Timberwolves, Spurs, Lakers, Trail Blazers, Mavericks, Kings, Grizzlies and Nuggets.

The eight playoff teams in the Eastern Conference are the Pistons, Nets, 76ers, Heat, Hornets, Knicks and Celtics.

This season's Green Kai is quite miserable...

They were still able to reach the top half of the Eastern Conference before, but with Pierce missing a month of schedule, their record dropped sharply. In the end, they only finished eighth in the Eastern Conference and almost missed the playoffs.

As a result, Green Kai will encounter the Pistons in the first round, and they are almost destined to travel in the first round.

…

On April 17, the first round of the seven-game playoffs officially started at the Pistons' Palace Arena in Auburn Hills.

Originally, everyone thought that the Pistons would easily kill Lu Kai, even Richard thought so.

But after the first game, the Pistons only won by a narrow margin. In the end, there was no situation like beating Green Kai, and they only won by a mere three points.

This made the outside world stunned. No one expected that Green Kai, who was almost squeezed out of the playoffs, would show such strength and be able to almost tie with the Pistons, the dominant player in the Eastern Conference.

Naturally, there is a reason why we can reach this situation...

Paul Pierce was like a god coming to earth tonight. Logically speaking, with a historic perimeter defense like Gerald Wallace guarding him, Pierce is unlikely to explode.

But tonight Pierce broke out, and the explosion was quite brutal. He scored 46 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists in the game.

Richard was dumbfounded on the sidelines. This was still a hard defense. If the defensive players were weak, would Pierce score 60 points tonight? !

For a moment, Richard remembered something.

Obviously, Pierce's current strength seems to be further than before.

There may be a reason for this injury!

Under normal circumstances, Pierce's strength increased a lot after being stabbed.

It seems that the two channels of Ren and Du have been opened up, and the original average of 20 points per game has soared directly to 25+ points...

Now that Pierce is playing at Purdue University, his personal strength needs to be improved, and he can average about 25 points per game.

Coupled with the impact of this trauma...

This guy is likely to shock the league next season!
