Xiao Hua, in fact, in Richard's view, is far inferior to his predecessor Stern in terms of personal ability, overall situation, and even personal integrity.

Richard still admires Stern, although he is not actually a fair president.

But for Xiao Hua, Richard has no admiration at all, and generally just regards Xiao Hua as a relatively mediocre partner.

Based on Richard's understanding of Xiao Hua, there are times when Xiao Hua has no bottom line than Stern......

For example, Xiao Hua, as the president of the league, sometimes has dinner with the agents of some players, and it is still a public dinner.

In Richard's view, this is completely unthinkable, at least when Stern is in office, this kind of thing will never happen.

Stern will certainly be in private contact with the player's agent, but not so blatantly.

……

The president of the league and the player's agent, in fact, is not a relationship at all, to say that the agent and the team executives have a dinner, this is understandable, after all, people have serious business to discuss, such as the signing of players......

And Xiao Hua, the president, is mixed with the agent, which is really a little bottomless.

But even if Richard knew about these things, he would definitely be too lazy to care, as long as Xiao Hua didn't fall into his head and didn't bury the reputation of the NBA, then there was no need to care about him.

If there is really a day when Xiao Hua pits Richard's head, or Xiao Hua's actions affect the income of most owners in the NBA, it is estimated that Xiao Hua's life will be very difficult at that time.

……

In the next three home games, the Clippers will play the Magic, Wizards and Cavaliers.

All three teams are Eastern Conference players, with the Magic and Cavaliers both being Eastern Conference powerhouses in previous seasons, but the Cavaliers James left and the Magic sold Howard, resulting in these two teams becoming the bottom teams in the East.

……

The Magic don't have much to say, they will be the favourites for the first pick this season, and they will be beaten by the Clippers at Staples Arena.

In the next game against the Wizards, the Wizards caused some trouble for the Clippers, and the combination of Wall and Beal in the backcourt played quite well.

However, the Wizards can now handle the two guns in the backcourt, and the frontcourt is suppressed by the Clippers across the board, and they can't raise their heads at all.

In this game, Egg Chase Green directly recorded a quasi-triple-double of 8 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists......

The current Clippers fans actually can't understand the Clippers' lineup, who is the real point guard?!

Sun Yue or Green?

If you want to say who is more like a point guard, it is Green who is more like a point guard, after all, he is only 201 cm tall, which is five cm shorter than the regular point guard Sun Yue......

……

In Game 4, the Clippers continued to play at home against the Cavaliers.

In the Cavaliers' current lineup, the only ones who can handle it are Owen, Vallejo and the Eight Sages.

Owen used his breakthrough ability to create considerable trouble for Sun Yue in this game, and Sun Yue left the court with six fouls in less than three minutes in the fourth quarter.

But even with Irving's good performance, they couldn't claim a win at Staples Arena.

Leonard shot 9-of-12 from the field, including 3-of-3 from three-point range and 4-of-4 from the free-throw line, scoring 26 points on just 12 shots......

With this terrifying scoring efficiency, it's no wonder that the Cavaliers don't lose!

The Cavaliers are not particularly weak inside, after all, they have a combination of Vallejo and the Eight Sages, but the front line is indescribably weak, which may be the reason why they all use the top pick to select the front line players in the next two years.

If it weren't for the Cavaliers' weak guard, Leonard would not have been able to play such a terrifying offensive efficiency, after all, his current offensive ability is not particularly outstanding.

Leonard has been with the Clippers for more than a year, and he only has the wrong name, no wrong nickname, Leonard is really like his nickname robot, and the number of shots in each game is between 10-12......

This number of shots is simply pitiful, even if it is a big horse monkey who plays as a substitute, he has more shots than Leonard.

However, the value of the two is certainly not a grade in Richard's eyes, Monroe has now been sold, if nothing else, the next thing may be the big horse monkey being traded.

……

The opening four consecutive wins, which made Clippers fans feel like they had seen the light of day through the clouds, and after looking forward to it for so many years, they finally looked forward to the opportunity for the Clippers to rise.

After playing four consecutive home games, it is time for the Clippers to play three consecutive road games.

It's still a fairly simple schedule, with the first two games away against the Mavericks and the Timberwolves, and the last game against the Green Kais in the East.

The Green Kai team is currently a threat to the Clippers, and the Mavericks and Timberwolves will definitely not be opponents of the Clippers.

Last season's Mavericks' sad first-round tour is expected to be even more miserable this season, and they may not even be able to make the playoffs.

After arriving in Dallas, Carlisle treated him to dinner with Nowitzki, the team's big man.

Speaking of which, there are four people on the Mavericks team who have played under Richard, but not all of them are West Lafayette players, Nowitzki and Captain Brand are West Lafayette players, and the rest of Marion and Eddie Curry are not.

After the Sharks left the Clippers, they were picked up by the Mavericks, and as a result, they played two games and were directly reimbursed for the season......

Brand's words, Jordan sold Brand to the Mavericks after Richard left, and now Brand doesn't have much residual combat power, but fortunately, he has won the championship with the Pirates, and the next year is a year, and there will be no regrets about playing wherever he goes.

"Lee, it's a sad day, Mark has not been enterprising at all since he won the championship, and the recruitment in the past two years has been quite ......" Carlisle frowned and poured bitter water on Richard.

Nowitzki is also entangled, he is clearly entering the end of his career, and his state must be the best for him.

Now that Mark Cuban has won the championship, there seems to be a sense of going to be quiet for a while, and it is quite unfavorable to bring in reinforcements in the free market.

With the introduction of OJ Mayo, Eddie Curry, and Brand, what can this do? No one would think that the Mavericks would be able to return to the top of the West with these three reinforcements.

The Mavericks were able to make the playoffs last season, but this season the Mavericks lost three of their opening four games......

"Hibernation, in fact, it's not wrong, wait patiently, sooner or later the Mavericks will rise one day." Richard said with a smile.

As for when that day will come, Richard didn't say, he knew that at least for the next ten years, the Mavericks would not be able to regain their place in the ranks of the Western giants.

But even so, Richard still admires the Mavericks team, and Mark Cuban is very human.

Even in the embarrassing situation, Cuban has always retained the position of Carlisle's head coach......

……

The next night, the Clippers played against the Mavericks, and naturally the Mavericks were slaughtered again, and it was really difficult for them to win this season.

Now their problem is not only old, but also weak......

After beating the Mavericks, the Clippers went to Minnesota to fight.

The strength of the Timberwolves is not as good as the Mavericks, although the Timberwolves players have played very well in this game, but in the end they still lost to the Clippers who were playing away by five points.

A six-game winning streak at the beginning of the game directly put the Clippers in the headlines.

This scene could not be more familiar to those long-time fans who are familiar with Richard.

That's how the Trail Blazers, Pistons, and Buccaneers all rose.

Nowadays, those fans who have witnessed Richard enter the league can definitely be called old fans, in the blink of an eye, Richard has also been in the league for nearly 17 years, and many hairy boys in the nineties have already started a family.

……

Just as these fans shouted out the rise of the Clippers, the next game between the Clippers and Green Kai immediately poured cold water on them.

In the past two years, under the care of Stevens and Danny Angie, Green Kai has been back on the right track.

Although Green Kai didn't win much in this game, even if he only won the Clippers by four points, it can be seen how good Stevens' coaching ability is.

Although Richard has been in the league for so many years, he is still self-aware, and even after winning nine championships, he has never been arrogant enough to think that his coaching ability is better than others.

At least Richard doesn't think he's better at coaching than Stevens or Carlisle.

The loss in this game further confirms Richard's point of view, in terms of lineup, Green Kai's lineup is definitely not as good as the Clippers.

But Stevens has this ability to turn decay into magic, and he can get the most out of every player.

For example, if a player has 100 points, he may only be able to play 70 points in other teams, but in Stevens' hands, he can make him play 90 points, maybe even 110 points!

Although the game was lost, the 6-1 record in the opening game still allowed the Clippers led by Richard to sit on the first place in the Western Conference record list.

After three consecutive away games, the Clippers returned to their home court, followed by three more home games.

This time, the three consecutive home games are a powerhouse in the East, the New York Knicks.

With the fall of the Cavaliers and Magic in the past two years, the Knicks have gradually rushed into the top half of the East after several trades.

However, their team can only be in the regular season and will definitely not be able to play in the playoffs......

Age and injuries are huge issues that the Knicks have to face.

They brought in the Suns before and it looked like a pretty successful move.

But God doesn't fulfill people's wishes, this season is estimated to not last long, and Xiao Si will be reimbursed for the season.

In addition to Xiao Si, this season they brought in Kidd and boxing champion Chandler from the Mavericks.

Kidd is too old to be a living fossil player, and he must not be expected to be on the court like he was in his prime.

The only thing the Knicks can count on at the moment is probably melon Anthony.

Richard doesn't have a crush on the Knicks, but a free agent signed by the Knicks this year has made Richard quite interested.

Rasheed Wallace......

That's right, after Roaring Tianzun retired in 2010, he actually came back after two years.

He signed with the Knicks with a veteran base salary of $1.2 million a year, and even Richard didn't know what the idea was in this place, and of course he didn't know what the Knicks were doing, so he signed a veteran who had been retired for two years.

It's not that this thing happened because of Richard's crossing, under normal circumstances, the Knicks really signed the Roaring Tianzun, who had retired for two years......

Richard estimated that it might be that after Rashid retired, he was too bored, so he wanted to return to this circle and find something to do.

After all, if you have played football for half your life, you will definitely not be comfortable leaving the field rashly.

After less than a season with the Knicks, Rashid left New York and returned to Detroit as an assistant coach, helping to train the team's interior rookies.

……

"Rashid, you should actually come to our clippers." Before the start of the game, Richard said to Rashid with a wry smile.

Now that Big Ben is on the Clippers, if Rashid comes back to the Clippers, it will be a good story to reorganize the double Wallace combination.

"I'm not going to trouble you guys in this state, and I'll be in the Knicks for a year to find a feeling."

"But, coach, if you say that, I may really go to the Clippers, I heard a few days ago that you are recruiting assistant coaches, but unfortunately I have accepted the contract of the Knicks at that time, or I will go to the Clippers as an assistant coach when this season is over, just to help you train the interior rookies." Rashid asked, his eyes full of hope.

After two years away from the NBA, Rashid is constantly nostalgic for his time in the league.

After much thought, he finally made the decision to return to the NBA.

"Yes, when your contract with the Knicks ends, the Clippers' doors are open for you, man." Richard said to Rashid with a smile.

Speaking of which, Richard actually felt a little guilty about Rashid, when he coached the Trail Blazers before, he sold Rashid to the Bulls, so that Rashid at least got two championship rings less......

If Rashid hadn't been sold, he would have had three championship rings on hand now, and now he only has one.

So this time, since Rashid spoke, Richard had to agree anyway, which can be regarded as Richard's compensation for Rashid.

Moreover, Rashid is a perfect fit to be an assistant coach, and his experience and experience will be of great help to newcomers inside.

……

There is only one Rashid on the Knicks team who is a West Lafayette player, and because the team does not have the favor of Richard, Richard rarely recommends that players he has coached join the Knicks.

Soon, at the referee's whistle, the starters of both sides began to appear.

Knicks' starting lineup: Boxing champion Chandler, Kurt Thomas, Anthony, Kidd and Felton.

Speaking of which, the Knicks' ghost starting lineup, Richard really doesn't understand.

Kidd and Felton were both point guards, and Knicks head coach Mike Woodson started both at the same time.

Felton is a point guard who entered the league in the same class as Chris Paul, and his strength is not bad, at least since he entered the league, he can play more than 10+6 data every season, and he can even play 17+9 All-Star data at his peak.

If he is asked to play point guard, Richard is acceptable, but Kidd is also put in the starting position, what the hell is this?

Let Gene not attack the quarterback? Or do you want Felton to be a point guard at 185?

That's not the most painful, in the last game, head coach Woodson even let Anthony play in the number four position, and let the 191-year-tall Prigioni on the bench start with Kidd and Felton.

Anyway, it can't be said to be weird, I'm afraid not only Richard can't understand it, but most people in the league don't know what Woodson is thinking in his head.

But what is even more unexpected is that under normal circumstances, Woodson led the Knicks to play second in the East with this ghost arrangement......
