Bishop of the Devil

Chapter 838 11 championships in coaching career

For the second year in a row, Richard led the Clippers to win the Western Conference championship and reach the finals, which made many fans watching the live broadcast on TV extremely excited.

This is the rhythm for the Clippers to rise completely and create a dynasty.

When Richard took over the Clippers, many fans thought that Richard might bring about earth-shaking changes to the Clippers, but they never expected that the Clippers' rise would come so quickly and violently!

After Richard won the championship last season, the number of championship rings on hand has risen to double digits, a total of ten championship rings. He has also become the first player in the entire NBA history to lead his team to win ten championships. coach.

There was a Jackson who could compare with Richard. Jackson has led his team to win eight championships now.

Among them, the Bulls Dynasty was six times, the OK combination was once, and the Kobe and Gasol combination was once, for a total of eight times.

But now, with Richard's number of championships reaching double digits last season, Master Jackson no longer has the capital to compare with Richard.

Not only is there no one among the current coaches who can compete with Richard, but throughout NBA history, even Auerbach has only led his team to championships as a coach nine times, which is less than double digits.

If Richard can continue to win the championship this year, Richard will tie with Bill Russell as the person with the most NBA championship rings.

By then Richard Dezhen can be called the King of the Ring among coaches.

The Clippers and Cavaliers met in the finals, but the Mars-to-Earth battle predicted by many fans did not happen. The Clippers simply defeated the newly formed Cavaliers Big Three with a score of 4:1.

This aspect of Irving still makes Richard quite afraid. This is a magical player who can kill the game when he breaks out.

In terms of overall strength, Irving is definitely not the strongest star in the league, but at certain specific moments, if Irving's magic ball is fired, it will be a real killer.

Therefore, Richard directly sent Leonard to defend Irving, completely denying Irving a chance to explode.

Leonard's ease of use made Richard have the urge to thank God. This player was so easy to use. There was no backcourt player that he couldn't guard. Richard even thought maliciously. However, if Leonard at his peak meets Jordan at his peak, I don’t know what the scene will be like. I wonder if Leonard can restrain Jordan...

Some fans may not be optimistic that Leonard can guard Jordan, but in fact, considering that Payton can restrain Jordan one-on-one with gloves, will Leonard's defense be worse than Payton?

Anyway, in Richard's opinion, Leonard's defense is better than Payton's.

The physical hardware of both sides is not on the same level at all.

In these five games, Irving was limited by Leonard to only average 17 points per game.

This kind of score is naturally not bad for the young Irving who entered the finals for the first time.

But an average of only 17 points per game, coupled with a low offensive efficiency, will definitely not be able to help James win the championship he dreams of.

As for Love, Richard cruelly asked Green and Gobert to take turns to deal with it...

In the year he came to the Cavaliers, Love took the initiative to lose weight in order to match James' style of play, hoping to play a role like Bosh in the team.

It should not be difficult for fans to find that the Big Three of the Heat and the Big Three of the Cavaliers are actually exactly the same, almost carved from the same mold.

The styles of Wolf King Love and Dragon King Bosh are quite similar, especially after Love lost weight, he was almost like Bosh No. 2.

Wade at 193 versus Irving at 191...

Wade is actually similar to Duncan. Duncan is nominally the fourth position, but actually works at the fifth position.

Wade is nominally the No. 2 position, but in fact he is exactly the same as the No. 1 combo guard that emerged in these leagues later...

James is still the same James.

Therefore, there is no difference between the Big Three of the Heat and the Big Three of the Cavaliers. They are still exactly the same configuration of the Big Three.

It can be seen that this is James' favorite system.

Under normal circumstances, the Lakers introduced Davis and Kemba Walker with thick eyebrows in the summer of 2019. This is generally for this reason, and they continue to match James with the same Big Three lineup.

The thick eyebrow is undoubtedly the representative of the space power forward. Although he is definitely better than Love or Bosh, his playing style is similar to both of them.

As for Kemba Walker, he is also a well-known combo guard. Even though he is not as good as Irving, the gap is not particularly big.

(This is Dahei's guess. It has been confirmed that the thick eyebrows will join the Lakers. Wo Shen broke the news. There should be no mistake. As for Kemba Walker, I feel that the Lakers cannot only get one thick eyebrows this offseason. It is inevitable. There will also be moves, most likely to take a linebacker.)

Because of Love's weight loss, he was once quite good in low post singles, but now he can't hit it anymore.

Whether it's hard-top Green or hard-top Gobert, they can't stand it now...

Irving and Love were both restricted, so Richard didn't care much about James.

Antetokounmpo faces James alone. If you can defend him, defend him. If you can't defend him, let him score. It's no big deal.

Anyway, Richard will not double-team James, because it is completely meaningless.

In Richard's impression, whether in his past life or this life, James was rarely double-teamed in the finals.

No matter what the reason was, Popovich did it anyway, and Cole did it in his previous life. Richard had no reason to break the rules.

The result was that Richard led the team to win the championship at the Clippers' home court and won the Clippers' second championship trophy in franchise history.

Richard also won the eleventh championship trophy of his coaching career.

Seeing the Clippers championship flag rising over the arena, many fans were filled with excitement.

Five years ago, when Richard didn't take over the Clippers, they couldn't believe that tonight, five years later, two championship flags would be hoisted over the Clippers arena.

In fact, the Clippers are a relatively embarrassing team. The Lakers in the same city almost hung flags above Staples Arena.

Various championship flags, various retired jersey flags...

Before Richard took over, the Clippers didn't even have a flag. Not only did they not have a championship flag, they didn't even have a division championship flag, and they didn't even have a flag to retire the players' jerseys. It was quite embarrassing...

Now the Clippers finally have two flags. In fact, if Richard wants to get more flags, it is not impossible. For example, it is not impossible to hang two division championship flags.

However, Richard feels that hanging the division championship banner is a bit self-deceiving. What is a division championship? It's not embarrassing enough to hang it up...
