Chapter 842: A Conversation with Libit and Li Jin

The following offseason, James left the Cavaliers, whose potential had been completely exhausted, and then joined the Los Angeles Lakers as a free agent.

While joining the Lakers, the Lakers also made various big moves to get the thick eyebrows Davis and the Wizards' core guard Beal.

In this way, James is reorganizing the Big Three in the Lakers, and there is nothing inappropriate to even say that the Big Four is inappropriate, after all, Kuzma, a newcomer, can be regarded as completely played.

James came to the Lakers, naturally, not out of Richard's expectations.

Now Richard has only one thought, it's okay if the Clippers don't win the championship, but they can't let the Lakers win the championship......

The two teams are the same city team, and Richard naturally doesn't want to see the Lakers rise again.

As a result, Richard did not release the water at all in the following season, facing the Big Four Lakers in the Western Conference Finals, and finally eliminated them with a score of 4:2 and won the ticket to the Finals.

At the moment, the eastern side is really not worth mentioning, because under normal circumstances, the eastern bigwigs are all in Richard's team at the moment.

The Hornets had a more comfortable life this season, and finally met with the Pistons in the Eastern Conference Finals, but were eventually eliminated by the Pistons led by Yao Ming.

And the Pistons are obviously not opponents when facing the Clippers, and Richard led the Clippers to the third championship trophy in team history.

With his two sons about to enter the league, Richard is also preparing to fight for a dynasty in the past few years......

After the dynasty is created, the next step is to slowly mix, win a championship every few years, and keep the Clippers among the top teams in the West.

When his two sons enter the league, he should almost be in a state of semi-retirement, and when he is sixty years old, he will retire directly.

Of course, after retirement, Richard can't completely ignore the Clippers, and he will definitely have to give his own advice in terms of drafting.

Richard is now 52 years old, and he is not a few years away from retiring at the age of 60.

In the blink of an eye, Richard has been in this world for 26 years, and the honors he should have received are all soft, and it is time to start thinking about his retirement plan.

After the Clippers won the championship in the 2019-2020 season, in the following 2020-2021 season, Richard led the Clippers to kill the Pistons by a huge margin, winning the championship for the second year in a row, and the number of championships in team history rose directly to four.

……

And at the beginning of the playoffs this season, Richard also had a conversation with his two sons.

It's 2021, and these two kids are already in their third year of high school, and they will face the first major choice in their lives.

Will you continue your school, or will you go straight to the draft?!

"Tell me, what do you two think now?" Richard sat in his chair, and Libit and Li Jin stood in front of him.

"Dad, we've all figured it out, and we're going to sign up for this draft." Libit said solemnly.

At present, Libit's height has reached 212 cm, which is just a sixteen-year-old child, and there must be room for growth in the future, and the team doctor in the Clippers has done a test before, saying that Libit's height limit in the future will not be lower than 218 cm.

Under normal circumstances, children of Libit's age, even if they are very tall, look like hemp rods, and they are extremely thin.

For example, Durant was as thin as a golden monkey before......

Even O'Neal, in fact, looked thin before entering the league, that is, because of his big head, he looked stronger than other rookie centers.

Libit, on the other hand, is like a silverback gorilla, with strong muscles, which makes people feel chilled to look at.

The height of 212 is as high as 137 kilograms, but there is no fat in the body, only a daunting sense of strength.

If it weren't for the fact that this was his own son, Richard would definitely have to stay away from such a thing on the road, and the deterrent effect was too great.

As for Li Jin, he is 185 tall at the moment, and he must not have grown yet, and he will definitely be able to grow to 190 or above in the future.

Because he is playing point guard, it is actually enough to have a height of 190 or higher, and there is no need to learn to play the No. 1 position with a height close to seven feet like Brother Alphabet.

"Dad, we originally wanted to wait, thinking that the Clippers would be rotten and then use the high draft pick to take us, but now it seems that the Clippers will definitely not be rotten." Li Jin said with a bitter face on the side.

At the moment, the Clippers can't play badly, the players in the team are strong, what to do to mess up, you can't really have no face at all......

Moreover, now that the Clippers win the championship this year, they will win two consecutive championships, and Libit and Li Jin also know that Richard must want to create a dynasty in the Clippers.

"You two boys have to think about it, you are not in the best shape now, and you haven't even grown physically, so playing in a professional league in such a state, the start may not be as smooth as you think." Richard also solemnly admonished his two boys.

He is also a little hesitant now, on the one hand, he wants the two boys to enter the alliance quickly, and on the other hand, he is afraid that the two boys are too tender and will be abused after entering the alliance, which will affect his self-confidence.

The two boys are now in full swing, full of confidence that they can rule the alliance, but when the time comes to enter the alliance, if they are really abused, then whether these two boys can withstand this kind of blow is really a question.

In his three years of high school, Libit was simply crazy, and as the center of Oak Hill High School, he led Oak Hill High School to three years without defeat.

Especially in the third year of high school, Libit averaged 38.7 points, 25.4 rebounds and 7.2 blocks per game.

Even if Libit is only 16 years old now, all fans and experts in the United States know very well that as long as Libit signs up for the draft, he is definitely the undoubted champion candidate.

ESPN's recent draft predictions, because they also didn't know whether Libit would run, so each prediction had to be noted before the prediction form, which does not include Libit......

This is enough to explain the horror of Libit, and even ESPN's selection has to take care of the feelings of Libit fans.

As for Li Jin, he averaged 26.7 points, 7.8 rebounds and 16.5 assists per game in his junior year, including a three-point shooting rate of 42.1%, which is actually quite a buggy player.

It's just that many experts feel that Li Jin's assist data is too dependent on Libit, after all, as long as the ball is passed to Libit, he can get assists, so Li Jin is not as terrifying as Libit in the eyes of all parties.

However, even so, experts believe that if Lee Kim does not participate in the draft at the same time as Libit, he has a considerable chance to win the draft as a high school student.
