All the Spurs players had left the field, and Richard found a chair on the bench and sat down.

The entire stadium was buzzing with excitement. The Pirates won their first championship trophy in team history. It was destined to be a night worth remembering.

Jordan ran over and handed Richard a microphone.

"Li, before the podium is set up, let's say a few words to the fans first!"

"We won the championship, really won the championship, God, I feel like I'm dreaming!"

Richard waved his hands, he was really in no mood to say anything now.

"Okay, Michael, tell me, I'm really tired."

"This season is finally over, I need to take a few days to rest."

Richard said with a wry smile.

Jordan nodded. He naturally knew how hard Richard had worked this season. Compared with Richard, he couldn't be too relaxed.

"Thank you for your hard work, Lee."

Richard has gone through the championship awarding process six times including this time, and he is extremely familiar with this process.

First, he has won enough championships, and second, his win this time was not pretty, so even when he stepped onto the podium and received the championship trophy from Stern, Richard was not particularly excited.

But there must still be a smile.

Entering the league in 1996, Richard won three championships in five years with the Trail Blazers, two championships in three years with the Pistons, and one championship in three years with the Pirates.

In eleven years, Richard won six championship trophies. What a great achievement. The fans at the scene stood up and applauded vigorously the moment Richard lifted the trophy.

Richard deserves this applause. After receiving this championship trophy, Richard's number of championships is only one behind that of Zen Master.

Jackson is the head coach with the most championships among active head coaches. Fans believe that Richard will not take long to catch up with or even surpass Jackson.

The FMVP was finally won by Milicic. He averaged a triple-double in these seven games and deserved the FMVP.

Richard originally thought that after Milicic won the FMVP, he would complete his original mission of saving the glory of the center.

The requirement of that task is to make Milicic a top insider. According to Richard's estimation, he has already won the FMVP, so he must be considered a top insider.

But the system task completion sound did not sound, which made Richard feel helpless.

Milicic has now won the All-Star MVP and Finals MVP, and has also been selected to the All-NBA Second Team. This should be considered a top insider.

But since the system doesn't acknowledge the account, Richard has nothing to do...

According to Richard's guess, Milicic may need a regular season MVP, so that Richard can complete the task.

This season is over, we can only think of a solution next season.

However, even though he failed to complete Milicic's task this time, Richard also received some system rewards for winning the championship and tying the Bucks' record for the shortest time to win a team.

Although there was no item reward, I gained four valuable fame points and a primary injury scroll.

The Bucks, like the Buccaneers, won the championship three years after the team was founded.

If a new army can win the championship in such a short period of time, it must be because they have great skills.

The big hand of the Bucks is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar...

The Pirates' top player is Richard.

Next, Richard rested for three days and participated in the team's championship parade. Jordan was as happy as if he had won the lottery all day long and wished he could put the championship trophy on his head...

Richard was much calmer. Jordan was excited because this was his first time winning the championship as a team manager, and this was just a common occurrence for Richard.

If Richard could win the championship as a player, I'm afraid he would be as eager as Jordan to hold the championship trophy on his head.

After the championship parade was over, Richard originally wanted to take a good rest, but he was really tired this season.

But there are too many matters that need to be resolved in the team, and Richard has to make the decision on these key matters.

There was no other way, Richard could only give up his plan to take a vacation and get back to work.

The first thing the team has to solve is the upcoming draft.

Because the finals ended too late, this year's draft was also postponed to June 29.

Richard must attend this draft. The draft cannot be done without Richard.

Before the draft begins, Richard has to deal with trade offers from more than a dozen teams.

These teams are now coveting Richard's rookies, and some are even willing to trade their first-round picks.

But Richard is no longer prepared to acquire the 2007 draft picks, because the draft picks in his hands are enough, and he even wants to sell some draft picks.

The Lakers were eliminated by the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals, so they were most determined to strengthen. Kobe immediately contacted Richard.

"Coach, we want to buy that kid Darko, tell me, what price do we have to pay?"

"If we can get that kid from Darko, we can definitely kill the Spurs!" In order to win the championship, Kobe had already begged Richard with shame.

"What else can the Lakers sell now? You should be very clear about Darko's value. I'm afraid the Lakers will have to trade you for Darko." Richard said with a smile.

Richard doesn't mean that today's Milicic can compare with Kobe in terms of league status and strength.

But Milicic is too cost-effective. With an annual salary of only tens of millions, or even less than ten million now, he can perform like this. If the Lakers want to get Milicic, they may not even have enough money.

"Coach, you're kidding again. I don't want to keep changing teams. The Lakers are pretty good now." Kobe said with a wry smile.

"You guys, please stop pretending to me. Darko is your primary target, but you still have a spare tire. If I guessed correctly, it's a grizzly bear..."

"Hush, coach, can you guess this?" Kobe quickly interrupted Richard.

"You Lakers, please don't go after Darko. There's no way I can sell him. Besides, you, the Lakers, originally traded Big Ben, and you can't sell draft picks in the next few years. How can you trade Darko?"

"Go after the spare tire, that one is more promising." Richard said with a smile.

After hanging up the phone with Kobe Bryant, Richard let out a long sigh of relief. The Spurs in the Western Conference were already a big problem, and they were about to have another powerful Laker.

It will become more and more difficult to win the championship in the future. If the Pirates do not improve their lineup, do they want to build a dynasty? The probability is too small.

Stern can favor the Buccaneers this season, and that may not happen in the future.

"Bob, are Alonzo and Gary ready for their retirement ceremony?" Richard asked Miles.

These two veteran champions will retire at the end of this season, and Richard will naturally leave them with an unforgettable retirement ceremony.

Both veterans have made great contributions this season. If it were not for the short time they played for the Pirates and other reasons, Richard would even consider retiring their jerseys.

Jersey retirement is an extremely solemn matter for a team. If Mourning and Payton are both starting players, even if they are not the best players in the starting lineup, then Richard can still play in the Pirates The team retired their jerseys.

But now they are both substitutes, and they have only joined the Buccaneers for three short seasons. If the jerseys are retired, it will lower the threshold for the Buccaneers to retire their jerseys, and may allow a lot of jerseys to be hung above the Buccaneers arena in the future. .

Fortunately, even if the Buccaneers don't retire their jerseys, their parent teams, the SuperSonics and Heat, will definitely retire their jerseys. Richard doesn't have to worry about this.

Mourning's No. 33 jersey was retired by the Heat, while Payton's jersey retirement is more complicated.

The SuperSonics or Thunder did not retire Payton's jersey. It's not that they don't want to give Payton this honor, but Payton himself insisted on retiring his jersey in Seattle...

After the next season, the Sonics moved from Seattle and even changed the team name. Payton didn't want to go to Oklahoma City to retire his jersey, so the matter has been postponed.

Maybe when Seattle establishes an NBA team again in the future, it will be the time for Payton to retire his jersey.

In any case, these two veterans have their own home teams, and the Pirates do not need to worry about jersey retirement.

In order to thank these two veterans for their contribution to the Pirates, Richard is planning to hold a grand retirement ceremony for the two on July 1st, and fans can attend the ceremony.
