Bishop of the Devil

What hurts Richard is that he just adjusted his defense and inspired Thompson and Leonard. When the timeout ended and the game restarted, the Mavericks directly changed to a pure substitute lineup... …

The Mavericks' bench was actually pretty good last season, but this season it's completely unwatchable.

For a time, the Clippers turned the situation around. Although the offense was still not smooth enough, the defensive end was impressive.

Especially Leonard, whom Richard picked with the 13th pick this year, showed quite strong defensive talent. His long arms and big hands are very useful on the defensive end. In just a few minutes, Leonard Relying on his long arms and big hands, he caused two mistakes from his opponent...

Thompson's off-ball ability on the offensive end is also remarkable. At least this guy dares to shoot.

From the beginning to now, Thompson has taken 7 shots. Basically, as long as he runs out of space and his teammates pass the ball to him, Thompson will never hesitate and shoot immediately.

He shot 3 of 7 from the field and scored 7 points. Anyway, Richard was quite satisfied.

At the end of the first quarter, the Clippers were still one point behind even though the Mavericks only played half of the quarter.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the old man played another half of the game, further widening the point difference to 7 points.

Then Carlisle played five ups and five downs again, replacing a pure substitute lineup...

For a team like the Mavericks, because there are too many old men, Carlisle naturally cannot let these old men play too much time, not to mention that it is the preseason, and the meaning of playing is all.

In the second half of the game, Carlisle was no longer prepared to let the main players appear...

Richard was a little helpless. He originally wanted to let the Mavericks become the Clippers' whetstone, but it turned out that their whetstone was really weak, and the main players only played one quarter together.

In the second quarter of the game, seeing that all the old men on the other side were off the field, Richard also started to change formations.

Monroe continued to stay on the court, and all the remaining four players were replaced by Damahou, Dazhi, Tracy McGrady and Sun Yue.

When McGrady came on the stage, applause and cheers erupted immediately. McGrady's popularity is quite good and he has had many outstanding performances in his career. This is why he can still be selected even though he doesn't have many valuable honors at hand. Hall of Fame reason.

There were many fans at the scene, and they actually came here for McGrady. They knew that this season was likely to be the end of McGrady's career. Before McGrady retired, they wanted to take a look at one of the four shooting guards.

The era of the four major shooting guards is almost over.

Iverson has already retired, and Tracy McGrady is also facing retirement. Although Carter can still play in the starting lineup, his condition has declined drastically. It is estimated that it will last only two or three seasons, and Carter will gradually begin to enter the bench.

Only Kobe is still holding on and is still in good competitive shape.

The reason for this is not that Kobe is more durable than the other three, but mainly because Kobe is younger...

Both Iverson and Carter are older than Kobe. Although McGrady is one year younger than Kobe, due to congenital spondylitis, it is actually a great surprise that he can persist in his career until now.

…

In this new lineup, Richard directly designated Sun Yue as the point guard.

Sun Yue is like a brick, he can move it wherever he needs it. It has to be said that Sun Yue is actually quite versatile. He can at least play from the first to the third position without any problem.

…

"Beep!" The referee blew the whistle to end the game.

This preseason opener was ultimately won by the Clippers, who were playing at home.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even if the Mavericks are weaker than last season, their strength is not comparable to that of the young Clippers.

If the old men of the Mavericks hadn't only played for about ten minutes in the game, it would have been extremely difficult for the Clippers to win this game.

…

In any case, winning the opening game of the preseason can be regarded as a good start.

Leonard's offensive performance tonight was not outstanding. He only scored 12 points in 12 shots in the game, which was relatively low efficiency. However, his performance on the defensive end was completely faultless.

It's hard to believe that a new player actually has such a strong defensive awareness, good defensive talent, and good defensive attitude. He is just like a promising outside defender.

12 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 1 block are the data Leonard contributed in 29 minutes tonight.

As for the other rookie in the team that Richard is most optimistic about, Thompson played 26 minutes and scored 21 points, 3 rebounds and 0 assists...

It is normal for Thompson to have zero assists. Because he does not hold the ball, he has no chance to distribute the ball and mix assists. Generally, as long as the ball is in his hands, it is basically the time to take action.

Thomas Jr.'s performance tonight was pretty good. Because he kept scoring on the offensive end, he had a lot of assists. He scored 14 points, 3 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 steal tonight.

Such a statistic is definitely worthy of his draft pick position of No. 60 in the second round...

Because Richard arranged to start tonight, Thomas Jr. is even more grateful to Richard.

He knows very well that with his pick, no matter which team he is placed in, even the most rubbish team in the league will not be able to start as a starter...

Now Richard gives himself a chance to start when he comes up. This kind of treatment will definitely make other rookies at the bottom of the second round jealous.

It is precisely because he knows that this kind of opportunity is a rare opportunity that Thomas plays very hard on the court.

He rushed to the basket in various ways and used some quite dangerous moves in order to cause damage. Even if the ball did not go in, he could still get a free throw opportunity.

Richard did not stop Thomas' desperate play.

In Richard's view, with Thomas's physical condition, if he doesn't work hard, he won't be able to stay in the league in the future.

Since you are inherently deficient, you can only do your best.

The performance of the three newcomers in the starting lineup is remarkable. Of course, this performance cannot be said to be outstanding. At least compared to a powerful weirdo like Griffin, it is really not enough.

On the bench, Damahou, a newcomer who joined the team this year, had a somewhat good performance tonight.

After 20 minutes of playing, this guy made 6 of 7 shots, including three three-pointers, and two free throws, scoring 17 points...

After the game, Da Mahou looked at Richard expectantly. He felt that if he could maintain a good performance, he might be put into the starting lineup by Richard in the future.

Once he entered the starting lineup, Damascus felt that he had almost risen.

Being able to become a starter under Richard will make it difficult for any team in the future.

…

If Richard knew what the big horse was thinking, he would probably tell the big horse that he was overthinking.

In Richard's team building plan, Damascus has never been included. Richard would not dare to hire such a player who only takes money and does nothing.

…

In the next five preseason games, the Clippers won three of them, recording a good record of 4 wins and 2 losses in the entire preseason schedule.

Of course, this is also because Richard allows the main players to play a lot of time. Generally, other teams rarely let the main players play for 30 minutes in the preseason.

If this preseason schedule is a regular season, Richard feels that they can win two games.

Faced with this situation, if Richard had been left in his youth, he would have been impatient now and would have tried every means to improve the team's strength and strive to become one of the top powers in the Western Conference as soon as possible.

However, Richard is now in his forties and is no longer the stupid young man he was back then. Even when faced with the team's poor performance, he is not impatient...

If you're not good at fighting, why don't you just practice? Anyway, there are so many potential players on hand. If you train like crazy, you don't have to worry about not being able to train.

…

The regular season schedule is in full swing. In the first month and a half of the schedule, the Clippers played a total of 22 games.

As a result, they only won 9 games, with a winning rate of less than 40%, which was quite an embarrassing record.

However, although the record is very bad, Richard can see the improvement of the Clippers' combat effectiveness.

In 22 games, they only won a pitiful four games in the first 12 games. This means that the Clippers only had a 33.3% winning rate at the beginning, ranking third from the bottom in the Western Conference. There is not much difference from last season.

After the first twelve games, the Clippers won five of the next ten games, with a winning rate of 50%!

This is an improvement that is visible to the naked eye, so even if the current record is not satisfactory, Richard can completely accept it.

It would be great if there is improvement. With this lineup, Richard never thought that he would be in awe as soon as he came up. That would definitely not be realistic.

With a record of 9 wins and 13 losses, the Clippers are currently ranked tenth in the Western Conference, two places away from the top eight in the Western Conference. Richard feels that before the All-Star Game starts, based on the improvement in their combat power, the Clippers should be very good. May be able to break into the top eight in the Western Conference.
