Chapter 816

Because of Thompson's injury, the odds of the Clippers rushing out of the West are much lower now.

It's unbelievable that the G5 fans saw Thompson come back directly.

Normally, such injuries, even if not serious, must be suspended one by one, but Thompson seems to be completely unaffected.

For four consecutive bitter battles, the clippers, the new melon and egg team, encountered unprecedented difficulties. In the first half of the game, the G5 clippers led by the Spurs in the second half, and finally lost to the Spurs by four points.

The Spurs have won the match point, which is not good news for the Clippers. We need to know that the next game is the Spurs' home court, and the Spurs are likely to end the series at their home court.

……

When Sun Yue got a thigh strain in the third quarter, Richard already knew that their Clippers' schedule this year was completely over.

The referee whistled the end of the game and the players on both sides began to leave.

The Clippers lost 11 points to the Spurs and were eliminated by the Spurs and missed the chance to enter the finals, so all the young people in the Clippers team looked depressed.

"Cheer up and come back next year."

"This season you have been outstanding. In my mind, you are all MVP players!" Even though he was a bit upset, Richard was still up to his game to encourage the young players.

"That's right. Next year we'll come back. The Spurs will only get weaker and weaker, and our Clippers will definitely get stronger and stronger." Big Ben said cheerfully.

It doesn't matter whether he won the championship this year. In fact, it doesn't matter to Big Ben. He has so many championship, so many DPOY, rebounder and defense for a while. Even if he didn't win a championship before retiring, it won't affect his historical position.

Even if he won the championship before retiring, it will not improve Big Ben's historical position much. After all, Big Ben is not the main force of the team.

In fact, Big Ben has no problem at all. The Spurs will only get weaker and the Clippers will get stronger and stronger.

The GDP mix of the Spurs is getting old, which will greatly affect the strength of the Spurs. The Clippers are all some new generation players. With the experience of the western competition, their strength will be improved a lot.

If Richard Richards wins in the next draft conference, the Clippers will definitely surpass the Spurs next season. If they meet the Spurs in the playoffs, it's no problem to kill them.

Of course, the premise is that the Spurs in the next draft conference did not harvest, or harvest is not big, otherwise, that next season is a specific situation, it is really hard to say.

In the past two years, Popovich has won Jimmy Butler, Middleton and kenbawalker, which makes Richard feel a little sad

……

The coaches of both sides walked onto the court and shook hands.

"Congratulations, Greg. I wish you the championship this year." Richard smiled and held Popovich's hand, which was quite impressive. After entering the League for so many years, it was the only round of division semi-finals that Richard lost, which also broke Richard's own record.

But Richard didn't care too much. There were no invincible generals in the world. If he lost, he would lose. He could never win for a lifetime.

In fact, Richard was quite satisfied with this year's western decision.

"It's not that easy. You've got a strong Hornets team, and the new three giants of the heat can't be underestimated. No matter who they meet, these two teams are enough to make the old spurs headache." Popovich said in agony.

At present, the Hornets and the heat have reached a 3-3 draw. It's hard to say who can get tickets to the finals.

However, when either team reached the finals, Richard felt that the final winner might not be them, but the Spurs.

The Spurs' current lineup is terrible in depth and thickness. Maybe the Hornets or the heat will cause them trouble, but the final winner will definitely be the Spurs.

"I'll take the players back to Los Angeles first, Greg. We'll see you next year."

Richard said confidently that another meeting next year will definitely be the end of tonight.

"Well, see you next year." Popovich nodded and smiled.

……

After leading the team back to Los Angeles, the players went back to their homes and mothers. Richard started his off-season work.

Last year's draft conference, clipper itself has no draft right, but this year's draft conference, the situation has changed a lot.

The Clippers finished fourth in the League last season, with the top three teams being the Hornets, the Blazers and the heat.

So the clippers have a 27 pick on their own this season.

Under normal circumstances, the 27th pick of the 2013 draft was selected by Rudy Gerbert, a top traditional inner line whose strength is comparable to that of little Jordan.Although Richard's attack and defense system doesn't need such a player as Gerbert, it's impossible for Richard to miss if he can get such a player in the 27th position with high cost performance.

But Gerber is certainly not the ultimate goal of Richard's draft conference. The quality of this draft conference is good, especially the letter brother appeared in the 15th place, which must be Richard's player.

In addition to brother alphabet, there are many outstanding new players this year who have suffered the loss of no one to use against Spurs. Richard is ready to make a good plan this time to try to improve the strength of the bench as much as possible.

……

Because of the lack of draft rights, Richard can only trade for some draft rights.

What broke Jordan's heart was that their pirate team's record of entering the finals for six years in a row was broken

Relying on the outstanding performance of the three giants, the heat finally got tickets to the finals.

James and Bosh made their first career finals, which is undoubtedly a historic breakthrough for them.

But the next finals, they did not go further, in the face of the spicy Popovich, the heat was finally eliminated by six games.

The Spurs won the championship as the fourth in the west, and the final result of this season really surprised the fans.

Originally, they thought that this year at least the western side would be the world of new rich explorers or clippers. No one expected that the old Spurs would survive in waves and waves with amazing tenacity.

The Western semi-finals, the western finals, six finals, the Spurs along the way, many difficulties, but the final result is also worthy of their pay, to get the championship trophy.

What surprised fans even more was that this year's finals MVP was won by 36 year old Duncan.

Duncan averaged 18.2 points, 9.7 rebounds and 1.9 blocks in six series games. Although it's not luxurious, he didn't get too many points under the basket because of his sitting down, which made the heat's basket not such an excellent opponent.

In addition to Duncan, the performance of other Spurs players is also outstanding. There are six spurs in the whole team who score double points in the midfield of the series. This kind of real team basketball, if it doesn't win the championship, it's unreasonable.
