Bishop of the Devil

Chapter 787: Squeeze into the West Top 8

What many people don't know is that before joining the Lakers and the Warriors, Yang Shaoxia actually had a brilliant resume.

Last season, which was the 10-11 season, Yang Shaoxia was the scoring leader of the Wizards...

Although the average scoring average is only 17 points or more, he sits in the team's scoring position, but it is also the scoring leader after all, countless players may not achieve such achievements throughout their careers.

This season, in fact, under normal circumstances, Yang Shaoxia is still the scoring leader of the Wizards team, but the average score has become more than 16 points...

The scoring leader of a team is only more than 16 points, one can imagine the strength of this team.

At present, Wall is averaging only 0.2 points less than Yang Shaoxia, and may catch up in one or two games...

In the previous game, Wall's crazy singles made Yang Shaoxia dissatisfied. In his view, Wall is obviously coveting his own scoring throne...

But what makes Shaoyang Yang gratified is that coach Sanders allowed Waldo to score points during this suspension, and then he has a chance.

...

The timeout is over and you are back in the game.

Wall is actually a piercing player, but now he has no piercing capital, so he must still listen to the words of a senior coach like Sanders.

In the next two offensive rounds, although he was still in control of the ball, he did not blindly shoot it, and once passed to insider Hilario, playing a basket attack.

In the other pass, he returned without success.

In the two offensive rounds of the Clippers, Horford showed strong power in the basket, silently scored two consecutive goals and pulled the score away again.

In a short period of time, the Clippers have played an 11:2 offensive climax.

The Wizards fans on the spot collapsed a little bit. The Wizards started this season with a good momentum. They thought they could take off their fish hats, but now it seems that they are still a fish belly team.

The Clippers are strong? It can’t be called a strong team, it is still a team outside the threshold of the Western Conference playoffs, but even so, the Wizards are still being beaten on the court...

...

In the second quarter, the game was just kicked in. Only with a snap, Nick Young's outside shot was directly knocked out of the bounds by Leonard.

What it means to be a husband and wife is not open, and Leonard can now use this sentence to describe it.

Facing the weak chicken Wizards, Leonard's defense exerted great power, and almost regarded the Wizards as an explosion inside.

...

There is no suspense in winning or losing in this game. Both Wall and Nick Young are already under the protection of Leonard. After the two teams' main points of attack dare not take action, how can the Wizards still have a chance to win.

"Beep beep!" The referee sounded the whistle at the end of the game.

The Clippers beat the home team Wizards away and won a huge 27 points.

Nick Young only scored 11 points in the game, and Wall was not so good, only 10 points...

Leonard made 5 of 11 shots tonight, 3 of 4 free throws, and got 14 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 blocks and 4 steals. He almost made a five by five super stat.

Because he put a lot of energy on the defensive end, Leonard does not have too much offensive desire at the moment. When he started the game in 32 minutes, he only shot 11 times.

At present, Richard has no intention to let Leonard increase the number of shots. He is prepared to make everything step by step. Let Leonard devote his energy on the defensive end and play defensive deterrence.

Under normal circumstances, Leonard will do so from the beginning of Popovich's training. The offensive end has not been too eye-catching. It can only be said to be quite satisfactory. He has never averaged more than 13 points in the first three seasons of his career.

But the defensive end is quite awesome, the third grade was selected as the best defensive second team.

It is also because of Leonard's strong defense that the Spurs can win the championship in the third grade of Leonard, and Leonard himself also won the FMVP.

...

"Man, this Leonard is really a good newcomer, and you have found the treasure again this time." After the game, Sanders smiled and greeted Richard with a wry smile.

Richard laughed implicitly.

"Old folks, Wall is actually good. If you can fully realize his potential, with him as the core, I think you will have no problem in the Eastern Conference playoffs."

Hearing Richard's words, Sanders smiled bitterly.

"I naturally know this guy's potential is very good, otherwise, it will not become the champion, but it is too difficult to discipline, I do not tell you, I don't know if I can finish this season."

Sanders is in an awkward situation now. He has been with the Wizards for more than two years. During these two years, the Wizards' strength has not improved much, and it is still so fishy.

If the Wizards can maintain the current win rate and let the team management see the hope of entering the playoffs, then Sanders can still retain the coaching position.

But if the next record starts to decline and lose the hope of entering the playoffs, then Sanders' departure is a decisive end.

No team will tolerate a head coach leading the team into the playoffs for three years.

Even Philip Sanders is a head coach like that.

Richard sighed, and he did not say that Sanders was fired and then the Clippers became assistants...

After all, Sanders, a veteran head coach, is really inappropriate for him to be an assistant.

...

After winning the Wizards, the Clippers had a 6-3 record due to the easier schedule. The overall record changed from 9-13 to 15-16, which is about to achieve a 50% win rate. .

However, such a record still does not allow the Clippers to enter the top eight in the west. They are still one win away from the eighth jazz in the west.

...

Under normal circumstances, this season is actually a shrinking season.

In July 2011, the old CBA agreement expired, and the league negotiated with the players' union. It took more than five months for the final negotiation.

This has led to more than a dozen fewer games in the regular season this year...

However, the situation is different now. Richard appeared in this negotiation. Under his circumstance, the negotiations between the two parties proceeded smoothly. Eventually, it took only a month to discuss all of them.

So this season, there is no lockout as normal, but the regular season starts normally.

Richard, as the team owner of the league, he naturally does not want to stop the game and play one less game. He just makes less money for one game...

The current chairman and management of the Players’ Union, many of them are players of the West Lafayette line. Although they are unlikely to betray the interests of the players, they haven’t been entangled with the league in the same situation. After negotiating for a month, he happily signed a new CBA agreement.

...

It was getting closer and closer to the All-Star weekend, and the Clippers finally surpassed the end of January, squeezing into the top eight in the West.

This may be the most difficult time in the Western Conference's top eight since Richard's coaching. Prior to this, the playoffs were not a matter for Richard at all. Only Richard did not want to enter the playoffs, there was no Lee. Chad couldn't make it to the playoffs.

And this season, in the case of more than half of the schedule, Richard finally stumbled to bring the team into the threshold of the Western Conference playoffs.

I have to say that Richard's strength of the new melon eggplants this year is still quite good~www.readwn.com~ From the daze on the court when I first entered the league, it has been gradually playing like Decently, there is a lot of hard work.

...

Richard must have missed the opportunity to coach the All-Star this year, which is naturally a bit disappointing for him.

However, judging from the current posture, Richard may have a chance next year.

The Mavericks have been declining since the beginning of this year, and certainly not next year.

For the Lakers, Richard helped them pick two newcomers in this year's draft. The combat power is quite strong right now, but next year as Big Ben leaves the team and the main players are one year older, their competitiveness may begin to decline. .

As for the Spurs, this may be Richard's biggest rival for the Western Conference next year.

As for other Western teams, to tell the truth Richard really did not pay much attention to it.
