Bishop of the Devil

On December 3, the Clippers ushered in the 23rd game of their regular season.

In this game they challenged the Washington Wizards away.

Since the Wizards left after playing Jordan, these years have been very sad, and the record has always been quite good.

Of course, before Jordan joined the Wizards, the Wizards were actually a fish belly...

However, this year's lineup of Wizards is still quite good, the team has the top champion Wall Wall, Yang Shaoxia, Waiwai-Hilario, McGee and others.

They have a good start record, and they have a more than half of the winning rate, but how long this winning rate can be maintained, then only God will know.

"Coach, let's talk about it first. After my contract this year, I will go to the Clippers next year..." Rashard Lewis whispered to Richard before he started the game.

Richard smiled bitterly, dear fellow, the Clippers looked at the nursing home.

However, if these veterans join, they are the base salary, which has little effect on the team.

And many of these veterans are very popular players, but it can also boost the Clippers' ticket sales.

Anyway, the signing is definitely not a loss.

"McGee on your team, what is the situation now? Does Philip plan to reuse him?" Richard asked Lewis curiously.

The current Wizards coach is Richard's acquaintance Philip Sanders...

Sanders has been able to stand in the league for so many years, and he has real things on hand. This is a coach with real talent.

Lewis shook his head. "Coach Philip doesn't seem to like Javier very much. This kid doesn't pay much attention."

"Coach, are you looking at McKee?"

"This kid's physical talent is really nothing to say, it is a big problem in attention. If the coach can solve this problem, I think he should be able to play an unparalleled role under your hands." Lewis said with a smile .

In Lewis's view, using Richard’s magical ability to tune McKee’s lack of concentration is a piece of cake.

McKee, this kid, Lewis still likes it very much, all day silly, very cute.

So Lewis directly compared McGee's situation in the team with Richard, and he also hoped that McGee's child could really show his talent.

In the history of the NBA, too many talented players, basically every McGee-like physical fitness players.

For example, Stromel-Swift in previous years...

However, there are really not many players who can play against these physical qualities.

Now Lewis feels that Da Maji's chance to change his life is coming. If he can play for Richard, he will be able to hit it out of ten.

After listening to Lewis, Richard smiled and waved his hand, "Not in a hurry, but now dig the wizard's corner, it is estimated that the old fellow Philip is mad..."

"Come on slowly. Sooner or later, I have a chance. I really think this kid is pretty good, a little bit like Clark."

Lewis nodded, Richard said so, he felt that McGee and Clark really had a lot in common.

For example, the blocking ability of the two men is historically powerful.

...

The game began, Richard sat quietly watching the game on the sidelines.

The Wizards said that after the start of the season, the momentum is good, but Richard feels that they will not be the Clippers' opponents.

Right now Wall hasn't grown up yet, and the gap in strength compared to the peak period is still quite large.

The other players, in Richard's opinion, are certainly not a threat.

"Beep!" The referee whistled and gave Thomas a defensive foul.

The Clippers' defensive round had another problem. Leonard's defensive defense was not timely. Thomas Jr. tried desperately to defend Wall, and the referee made a foul.

Although there are no free throws, this momentum is quite bad. Thomas is afraid of Wall, a physical point guard.

And if he meets a point guard like Nash or Dragic, although Thomas still has a disadvantage, he is not too big to accept.

Not long after the game began, Richard would naturally not call a timeout, quietly watching how the players on the court would solve the current situation.

...

In the offensive round of the Clippers, Leonard walked past Thomas.

"Isaiah, let the other's Wall give me." Leonard said slowly.

"Hmm? You can talk?" Thomas' face was shocked...

Of course, this is a joke made by Thomas.

Leonard is definitely a three-stick player who can't play a fart. The four of them entered the Clippers at the same time. It should be reasonably well-connected. As a result, Thomas Jr. has not said more than three words to Leonard. sentence.

Every time Thomas Jr. talked to Leonard, Leonard either just nodded or made the kind of speechless laugh...

"Oh... slightly" Knowing that teammate Thomas Joke was joking, Leonard smiled rarely.

The weirdness of his laughter was like a child who did something wrong. He was being taught by an adult. As a result, he encountered some fun things. He wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, holding back the laughter.

"Okay, then he will give it to you, but what about Nick Young of the other party? I'm not good at guarding..." Thomas said with a pain.

Nick Young is 201 centimeters tall. It is no exaggeration to say that Nick Young shoots in front of Thomas, and Thomas has no way to take other people.

I can't imagine this kind of counterpoint scene. You can think about how it hurts when you suddenly encounter a 2 meter tall opponent on the field court.

"Leave it to me too." Leonard's urn sighed, and said pitifully.

Thomas rolled his eyes...

...

The Clippers' offensive round was eventually scored by Horford assisting Monroe.

It is the turn of the Wizards' offense.

Seeing that the Clippers lineup has the obvious short board of Thomas, it is strange that Wall does not go to singles...

Seeing that Wall was coming to beat him again, Thomas Jr. left immediately and gave the defensive position to Leonard.

Wall has just rushed to the free throw line, only feeling the shadow hit, he may be attacked by the tentacle monster, the basketball in hand is missing.

Turning his head again, he saw Leonard grabbing the ball with one hand and throwing it to Thomas, who had already rushed towards the frontcourt.

"Uh..." Thomas quickly controlled the ball to the frontcourt. Without any defense, the layup was successful.

Thomas did not dare to try to dunk this kind of upper basket. If it was not dunked, it would be embarrassing.

The Curry of the Pirates has come across this embarrassing situation from time to time, and little Thomas is afraid to follow suit.

...

It was the Wizards' offensive round again. This time it was Wall's singles Thomas Thomas.

Thomas was naturally reborn, and he deliberately gave up the defensive position...

Wall rushed towards the basket with the ball, this time he was a lot more cautious, and he started a three-step layup without reaching the free throw line.

Yu Guang saw Leonard flew over again, and Wall hurried to throw...

To his horror, Leonard took off in a rather unscientific position, and his long arm extended his hand to throw his record directly into the cap.

Horford picked up the ball and made another long pass to Thomas.

Thomas was quick to fight back again, scoring this goal before the opponent did not land.

In terms of speed, Thomas Jr. naturally belongs to the league's top level.

In addition to speed, Thomas' strength is also quite good, at least in the point guard is a very good presence.

With such a height, if there is no speed or strength, how can it be mixed out, and how is it different from the ordinary people with technology?

In the two consecutive offensive rounds, the Clippers used the defense to make each other's mistakes, and then quickly counterattacked to complete the layup.

Among them, Leonard is naturally great, and his restrictions on Wall are perfect.

Under normal circumstances, Leonard is actually a defensive core character whether he is in the Spurs or Raptors. He will defend whoever is strong...

Now that the Wizards are the strongest, Wall, if Leonard comes to defend, there is nothing wrong with it.

...

It's the Wizards' offensive round again. Wall may have been caught up by Leonard.

After being destroyed by Leonard for two offensive rounds, Wall was still determined to single.

He was naturally very careful this time and didn't give Leonard a chance to block or steal himself, but because of the hasty shot, the ball was too strong and the rebound was snatched by Monroe.

The Clippers pushed back, and Thomas Jr. assisted Thompson, who ran out of space, hit a three-pointer.

After being scored three times in a row and being hit by a 7:0 climax, Wizards coach Sanders was naturally unable to sit still.

"Beep beep!" The Wizards called a timeout.

If this timeout is not called, Sanders has already seen that Wall is on fire. If it is not called, he is allowed to stun the head and Green Wall to continue, they basically don't need to play this game.

...

"Good job! This is the defensive effect I want."

"That's why I signed you with the lottery pick. Your defense deserves such a pick." Richard patted Leonard's shoulder and said with a frown.

Although Richard knew that Leonard had a good defense, this kind of death-wounding defense really showed up in front of Richard, which made him a little excited.

In Richard's view, Leonard may be in the top three ranks in history when it comes to defense on the perimeter, and even with a thick skin, he is the first in history, and this is not unspeakable.

After all, anyone can claim GOAT, saying that Leonard is the first outside defense in history and there is nothing wrong with it.

Leonard's good defense is not to say that the fans' perception is good, nor is it good from the media, nor is it good from the data, but that the players who have played against him admit it.

Irving is recognized as the best player in the ball game. This is the result of an anonymous investigation by the NBA~www.readwn.com~ and Leonard is the most difficult defense in the player group...

Now Leonard's defensive strength is definitely not at its peak, but it has already emerged, and Richard Dexi can't help it.

In addition to his preference for big players, Richard also likes the stubbornness of this outside defense.

It’s not just Richard. Some fans who prefer retro basketball are generally the case. They like big men with traditional inside fighting, and they like defensive desperation.

The roles of these two courts are roughly the essence of retro basketball.

...

Sanders took advantage of the timeout to appease Wall and rearrange his offensive tactics.

Defending, they actually didn't have much trouble, mainly because the offense is not small.

Wall has been doing it alone, and Yang Shaoxia started to feel uncomfortable.
