What makes Richard hurt is that he just adjusted his defense, inspired Thompson and Leonard, and when the suspension is over and the game starts again, the Mavericks directly changed to the pure backup team
Last season, the Mavericks' backup lineup is actually good, but this season is totally impossible to see.
For a while, the Clippers directly turned the situation around. Although the attack was still not smooth enough, the defensive end was very bright.
Especially this year, Richard got Leonard in the 13th position, showing a very strong defense talent. It's easy to use long arms and big hands at the defense end. In a few minutes, Leonard made two mistakes by relying on his long arms and big hands
And Thompson's lack of ball ability in the offensive end is also remarkable, at least this guy dare to throw.
From the beginning to now, Thompson has made seven shots. Basically, as long as he runs out of space and his teammates pass the ball to him, Thompson will never hesitate to make a shot immediately.
The hit rate of 3 out of 7 and the score of 7 points are recorded. Richard is quite satisfied anyway.
At the end of the first quarter, when the Mavericks played only half a quarter, the clippers were still one point behind.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the old man played another half of the game, further widening the difference to 7 points.
Then Carlisle is five up and five down, replaced by a pure substitute
The Mavericks are such a team, because there are too many old men, Carlisle can't let these old men play too much time, let alone the preseason, playing means it's over.
In the second half of the game, Carlisle was not ready to put the main players on the court
Li Chade suck, but he still wanted to make the calf become the sharpening stone of the fast ship. As a result, they did not give the grindstone stone any strength.
In the second quarter of the game, seeing that the old men of the other side were all gone, Richard also began to change the formation.
Monroe continued to stay on the court, and the remaining four were all replaced, with Mahou, Dazhi, McGrady and Sun Yue.
When McGrady came on the stage, there were applause and cheers immediately. McGrady's popularity was quite good, and his career had a lot of brilliant performances, which is why he was still selected into the hall of fame when he didn't have much gold in hand.
There are a lot of fans on the scene, in fact, running for Maddie, they know that this season is likely to be the end of Maddie's career, before Maddie retired, looking at the demeanor of one of the four quarterbacks.
At present, the era of the four major Fenwei is almost over.
Iverson has already retired, McGrady is also facing retirement. Although Carter is still able to play in the first place, his condition has declined sharply. It's estimated that he will last for two or three seasons, and Carter will gradually enter the bench.
The only one is Kobe. He's still holding on and he's in good form.
The reason for this is not to say that Kobe is more difficult than the other three, mainly because Kobe is younger
Iverson and Carter are both older than Kobe Bryant. As for tmac, although he is one year younger than Kobe Bryant, it's a big surprise that he can keep his career up to now because of congenital spondylitis.
……
For the new lineup, Richard directly appointed Sun Yue as the point guard.
Sun Yue is a brick, where to move it, we have to say that Sun Yue is actually very versatile, at least there is no problem in playing No. 1 to No. 3.
……
"Doodle doodle!" The referee whistled the end of the game.
The preseason opener was finally won by the Clippers at home.
The skinny camel is bigger than the horse. At present, even though the strength of the Mavericks is weaker than that of last season, the strength is not comparable to that of the green clippers.
If it wasn't for the Mavericks who played for only ten minutes, the Clippers would have won the game.
……
In any case, winning the pre-season opener was a good start.
Leonard didn't do well on the offensive tonight. He shot 12 times in the whole game, and only scored 12 points. His efficiency was relatively low. However, his performance on the defensive side was completely flawless.
It's hard to believe that a new melon egg should have such a strong defense consciousness, good defense talent and good defense attitude, just like a seedling of outside defense.
12 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 1 block, which is the data contributed by Leonard in 29 minutes tonight.
As for the other favorite new player in the team, Thompson, who played 26 minutes, scored 21 points, 3 rebounds and 0 assists
It's also Thompson's normal that assists are tied to zero. Because he doesn't play and hold the ball, he has no chance to score and mix assists. Generally, as long as the ball is in his hands, it's basically the time to shoot.Little Thomas tonight's performance is also good, because the offensive side has been playing sudden points, his assists are many, tonight got 14 points, 3 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 steals data.
Such a data, is certainly worthy of his next round of 60 ranking draft ranking
Because of Richard's arrangement of starting tonight, little Thomas is more grateful to Richard.
He knows that no matter which team he put in, even the worst fish belly team in the league, he can't come up and start
Now Richard will give himself the chance to start. This treatment will definitely make other rookies at the bottom of the second round blush.
It is precisely because he knows that this kind of opportunity belongs to the level of ten thousand year hard encounter, so the little Thomas on the field plays very hard.
Under all kinds of shooting baskets, some very dangerous actions are used to create damage. Even if the ball is not scored, it can also get the chance of free throw.
Richard didn't stop little Thomas from playing so hard.
In Richard's view, with the physical condition of little Thomas, if he doesn't work hard, how can he stand in the league in the future.
Since it is not enough, we have to work hard.
The performances of the three new players in the starting lineup are admirable. Of course, such performances are not outstanding. At least compared with Griffin, they are not enough.
In the bench, the rookie Ma Hou, who joined the team this year, said that tonight's performance was a little bit bad.
After 20 minutes on the court, the goods made six of seven shots, including three three three-point shots, two free throws and 17 points
At the end of the match, marmoset looked at Richard with expectant eyes. He felt that if he could keep a good performance all the time, he might be put into the starting line-up by Richard in the future.
Once in the starting line-up, marmosets feel almost as if they are rising.
Can play under Richard's hand in the first place, which team to eat in the future.
……
If Richard knew what the big marmoset was thinking, he would tell the big marmoset that he thought more.
In Richard's team building plan, the big marmoset has never been included. Such a player who just takes money and doesn't do anything, Richard dare not ask for it.
……
In the next five preseasons, clippers won three of them, and all the preseasons were 4-2.
Of course, this is also because Richard let the main players play more time. Generally, other teams rarely let the main players play 30 minutes in the pre-season.
If the pre-season schedule is regular season, Richard feels that they can win two games.
Faced with this situation, if Richard was young, I'm afraid he's in a hurry now. He will try to improve the team's strength and strive to stand among the top powers in the West as soon as possible.
But now Richard is in his early 40s. He has not been a young man. Even in the face of the team's poor combat power, he is not impatient
If you can't fight, you can practice? Anyway, there are so many potential players on hand. If they are training crazily, they are not afraid to fail.
……
The regular season is in full swing. In the previous one and a half months, the Clippers played a total of 22 games.
It turned out that they won only 9 games, with a winning rate of less than 40%, which was quite an embarrassing record.
However, despite the poor results, Richard was able to see the improvement of the strength of the clipper.
In 22 games, they won only four of the first 12 games, that is to say, the Clippers only won 33.3% in the opening game, ranking third from the bottom in the West. There was no big difference in the last season.
After the first 12 games and the last 10 games, the Clippers won five games and the winning rate reached 50%!
This is a visible improvement, so even if the current record is not satisfactory, Richard is fully acceptable.
It's good to have a promotion. Richard, the lineup himself, didn't want to fight against heaven and earth as soon as he came up. That's certainly not realistic.
With a record of 9-13, the Clippers are now ranked 10th in the west, two places away from the top eight in the West. Richard felt that before the All-Star game, with the increase of their Clippers' combat power, they would probably reach the top eight in the West.
