Chapter 752

In mid September, the Clippers began their new season training.

Before the training, Richard is naturally looking for some players and assistants to talk alone.

Richard's first target is Cole

Cole is normally a very successful manager, but that doesn't mean he has no faults.

Cole said he used to smoke marijuana a lot. The reason he gave was that his back pain was unbearable and he needed to use marijuana to relieve the pain.

In addition to smoking marijuana, Cole is also a heavy alcohol addict, even playing on the court, he can drink two off the court.

In the 18-19 playoffs, in the first round of the warriors vs. clippers, Cole sat on the sidelines and began to drink. Of course, he couldn't drink without restraint. Instead, he bottled his whiskey in Gatorade's bottle

At that time, Richard was shocked to see this scene. Throughout the history of the NBA, I'm afraid that only Cole could do such a thing.

As we all know, Popovich is definitely a drunk, but even if he is a drunk, he has never done anything crazy about drinking on the court.

"Sit down, Steve. It's been hard these days." Richard said to Cole with a smile.

Cole has been training his players to shoot these days.

"Well, it's not too hard." Cole nodded and said politely.

"How is it? Do you think these people in the team have outstanding shooting talent? " Richard asked.

"No, not one..."

"God, these people's shooting talent may be the worst professional players I have ever met. Sun Yue is a kid who can make do with it. Of course, it's just making do with it..." Cole said with a tangled face.

Richard nodded, which didn't come out of his expectation. Even Sun Yue, if he didn't take advantage of his height and arm length, in fact, he didn't shoot well.

After chatting with Cole for half an hour, Richard didn't mention Cole's private life. At least without affecting the team, Richard had no reason to manage Cole's private life.

After talking with Cole, Richard called all the players and all the assistants together for a season mobilization meeting on the training ground.

Richard was not satisfied with the effect triggered by the group therapy skill, because the group therapy effect triggered Sun Yue

Sun Yue is simply not too healthy these years.

Triggered by Monroe, it's the best choice. Even if it's not triggered by Monroe and triggered by Camby, Richard can accept it.

At present, Monroe's pre-season or even early season is definitely not available, Richard can only put Eddie Curie into the starting line-up.

Eddie curry entered the league in 2001. He seems to be a veteran, but he is not old. Because he is a senior high school student, he is only 28 at present.

28 is a player's golden peak, but at the moment Eddie curry is not so good, no one wants it.

In the beginning, this product, together with Kwame Brown and Boxer Tyson Chandler, was called the "three treasures" of the 01st elective high school.

Each of the three centers seems to be gifted, especially Shaq, who weighs nearly 300 pounds at the age of 18, has played all over Chicago.

After entering the League later, after struggling in the first two seasons, in fact, Shaq has played a representative season. In the 2006-07 season, Shaq has played 19.5 points and 7 rebounds. It seems that Shaq has grown into a top center in the league, but what about the fact?

This data can only be said to be of no use.

There's nothing wrong with the offensive end. In Yao shark era, Eddie curry was called the only attacking talent after Yao shark

The reason why there is the nickname of little shark is that it can incarnate O'Neill from time to time on the court, relying on its own weight of up to 134kg and excellent arm spread under the attacking end of the basket.

Maybe a few minutes a night can play the O'Neal level of attack, or a few nights can play the O'Neal level of one minute, which is why he is called the little shark.

But in terms of defense and rebounds, compared with the offensive end, it's not worth mentioning. It can be said that Eddie Curry's defense and rebounds are not even as powerful as the three line center of the league.

If the goods met Richard earlier, for example, when they first joined the league in 2001, they were under Richard's command, then the current Eddie curry is probably already out.

Although it can't reach the height of O'Neal or Yao Ming, there is no problem to maintain the level of quasi all star. After all, it only needs two or three places to stay, which can make up for the defensive and rebounding short board of Eddie curry.

In terms of physical talent, Eddie Curie can hardly find any problems, otherwise, he would not have been the top pick.

Because of the contract year, Richard directly smashed the lucky prop of the monkey on Eddie CurieUnder normal circumstances, Eddie curry has no big contract to win after playing this season, but now due to the props bonus, maybe he can get a decent contract next season.

……

This is also Richard's helpless move. Now there is no one available, and only the little shark can be the general.

Richard didn't pay much attention to the effect of the one month training because it really didn't make any sense.

Strong or strong, such as Griffin

The weak chicken, just a month of training, and what effect.

On October 3, the Clippers' pre-season opener kicked off.

Richard got news from the ticket manager that the sales of tickets were not ideal.

About 70% of the tickets sold

It's almost the worst ticket sales since Richard joined the league.

Its pre-season tickets are cheap, so the sales volume is not worse than the regular season.

Now occupying the super ball Market of Los Angeles, only 70% of the tickets have been sold, which is obviously unacceptable to Richard.

The reason why ticket sales are so poor is that we can think about it.

Los Angeles is almost the world of the Lakers. Although the Clippers are in Los Angeles at home, they are miserable.

In fact, there is no big difference between the home game and the away game. Sometimes the on-site fans will boo the Clippers from time to time.

Even if Richard, who is very popular now, comes to take over the clippers, they are not so attractive to Los Angeles fans.

Don't forget, Richard's reputation in Los Angeles is not good. If it wasn't for Richard, the Lakers would have won more championships than now

Normally, since 1996, the Lakers have won five titles, and because of Richard, the Lakers have only won one championship, which is a little too far.

So now Richard's taking over the Clippers has not caused much repercussions in Los Angeles. The fans who should not go to see the Clippers will not.

Richard was also very clear that this situation must be very difficult to solve in the short term, only step by step.

……

At eight o'clock in the evening, Richard and the Clippers will appear on the side of the stadium. The fans at the scene did not give much enthusiasm, only some of them were cheering Richard's name.

It can be seen that these fans may be the reverse secret of the Lakers. Because they don't like the Lakers, they turn around to support the Clippers in the city.

"Doodle doodle!" At the referee's whistle, the starters of both sides began to appear.

When seeing Eddie Curie as the starting center of the team, the fans at the scene could not help sighing.

It's impossible to see the ghost line-up. You should know that Eddie Curie plays the role of water dispenser guardian in the Nix garbage team. Under Richard the clipper, they all mixed in the starting line-up.

The current fleet of clippers is really rubbish

Griffin is a little excited. This season is his first season in his career. Tonight is his first appearance in the NBA. He needs to show his perfect performance to prove the value of his number one pick.

……

The opponent is the west king. With Adelman leaving the king, the current king's team is the real Western fish belly.

But even though it's the fish belly team, the current king's lineup is actually quite good, at least better than the Clippers.

Center koshins, with Marcus Soton and Tyreke Evans two very good backcourt players, on the bench and Landry, casby and Garcia and other good bench players.

If you look at the lineup, it's much better than the Clippers.

It's quite normal that Eddie Curie lost to the young koshins in the jump. According to Richard's estimation, the weight of the little shark must be at least 140 kg.

This kind of super weight restricts the jumping ability of the little shark. Even if he had a good jumping ability, he would not be an opponent of cosine at present.

Evans took the ball and started to attack. When it reached the front court, it was handed to koshins who asked for an open hand from the inside.

Koshins is also excited at the moment. Like Griffin, he is the first time in his career. He naturally wants to play a perfect performance.

After receiving Evans's pass, koshins is ready to play Eddie curry in the low post singles, which is not difficult for him.

Sure enough, koshins took the ball and, under the defense of Eddie curry, turned around and scored.

Eddie curry doesn't even have any defensive moves

It's clipper's turn to attack. Griffin catches the ball and finishes a dunk.

This is now Griffin's main offensive means, relying on their own super physical talent, into the basket to create damage.

In the beginning, the two sides drew, and the two new players played well.In the next attack and defense round, we can obviously feel that the Clippers are in a huge disadvantage.

Kenny Dalglish's back court double shot, in good condition, hit three points in a row. After half of the first quarter, the difference between the two sides has been widened to seven points.

Richard called a pause directly. It's no good if the pause is not called.

It's OK to lose, but it's so ugly that Richard can't accept it.
