Chapter 815 Playoffs First Round Clippers VS Lakers
"Sure?"
"I've made basketball my career all my life, and I'll never change."
"I want to play as a center forward and never change?" Richard asked again.
Libit nodded solemnly, although he didn't know if his father had drunk too much and was crazy, but he still gave a solemn answer.
Seeing that Libert was extremely determined, Richard nodded.
"Bind Libit and choose O'Neill as the base template." Richard confirmed it in his mind.
"The binding is successful, because the bound player is under the age of 20, so it is impossible to maximize the ability to improve."
There was no scene of lightning and thunder, and there was no light on Libit's body, but the simple system prompted that the binding was successful.
Richard breathed a sigh of relief, his long-cherished wish for more than ten years had finally been completed.
Libit is bound to the super giant suit, Li Jin's words, all the props of Richard's reputation, it is estimated that if they can be used at that time, they will definitely be used by Li Jin.
As for whether Li Jin's strength in the future can reach the level of a BUG like Libit, this Richard can't say well.
One of the two plays the No. 5 position and the other plays the No. 1 position, which is obviously completely incomparable.
However, one thing Richard can be sure of is that Libit's future achievements will definitely be the league's first-person level, an epoch-making super center, and Li Jin's words will definitely not be far behind, and all the famous points in his hands will be smashed, and Li Jin's attributes in all aspects will reach a jaw-dropping level.
……
"Boy, it's not going to be easy for you from tomorrow, every day after school, you have to go to our clippers' training ground for two hours before you can go home." Richard began to plan Libit's next training plan.
At present, the eight-year-old Libit can not do strength training, and other aspects of training can be carried out.
"Training? Dad, are you willing to let me train with you? Libit's eyes lit up, and that's what he's been looking forward to.
Richard nodded, "That's right, your Uncle Big Ben will often accompany you in training, and in addition to that, Dad is going to hire Mr. Abdul-Jabbar to help you." ”
Abdul-Jabbar and Richard have worked together before, as Richard's assistant coach, and later as a Knicks head coach for a while.
Of course, it didn't take long for him to go on, and Abdul-Jabbar's coaching ability was almost inversely proportional to his players' ability......
Abdul-Jabbar is currently with the Lakers, helping the Lakers train Howard.
Now that Abdul-Jabbar has work at hand, Richard estimates that if he asks someone to come to the Clippers, they will definitely not agree.
However, Richard remembered that it wouldn't take long for Abdul-Jabbar to fall out with Howard, and it wouldn't be too late for Richard to extend an olive branch to Abdul-Jabbar.
It stands to reason that Abdul-Jabbar is actually really a good man, not to mention fights and brawls, and he doesn't even say dirty words, but in the face of the lazy Howard, he lost his temper directly.
"Howard is not as good as Bynum, at least Bynum can still practice from time to time, Howard? His attitude to training is terrible...... "That's what Abdul-Jabbar said about Howard.
If someone else hacks Howard, there may be various factors in it, but Abdul-Jabbar has hacked Howard, which can only show one problem, Howard is really lazy......
……
Libit exclaimed directly with excitement.
Not only can you train with your most respected Uncle Big Ben, but you can also train with a super famous center like Abdul-Jabbar?
Libit liked Big Ben when he was young, and that was entirely because Big Ben had a close relationship with his father Richard, and he had feelings for Big Ben when he was young.
In the past two years, after he gradually became sensible, he felt more and more the greatness of Daben.
With a height like Big Ben, he has made a great name under the basket of a long man, which is definitely a miracle of miracles in Libit's opinion.
He admires Ben's fighting spirit and ruthlessness.
However, he also knows that when it comes to the strongest center, Big Ben may not be ranked as the best center, and Big Ben is only his favorite center, not the strongest center in his mind.
In his opinion, if it is purely technical, the strongest center forward in his mind is Abdul-Jabbar or Olajuwon.
Now that he has the opportunity to train with Abdul-Jabbar, how can he not be excited.
"Dad, can I train with Mr. Olajuwon in the future?" Libit asked wistfully.
"Yes, not just Olajuwon, but you're going to train with all the top centers in the history of the league for a while."
"Of course, if they're still alive, if they're dead, then I can't help it." Richard dotingly touched Libit's little head and said with a smile.
……
The next night, after school, Libit was driven by Richard to the Clippers' training ground, and of course, Li Jin was also picked up.
Big Ben heard that Richard was preparing to formalize the training of Libit, and the whole person was also very excited.
In his opinion, Libit is like his own children, although he also has two sons, but their talents are not good, and they may not be able to inherit his mantle in the future.
Libit is different, Big Ben has a hunch that this kid Libit will definitely become a terrifying existence on the inside line in the future.
Big Ben, with his two sons and daughter, also appeared at the training ground......
Richard originally said that he would give Big Ben a salary subsidy, after all, Libit's training delayed Big Ben's spare time.
As a result, as soon as Richard proposed it, he was angrily rejected by Big Ben.
"Coach, what do you think of me?"
"I joined the Clippers a few days ago, and I actually just wanted to get a basic salary, and I didn't want that much money at all!"
"I like this kid Bitt so much, if you ask me for money, you're just slapping me in the face."
Richard smiled bitterly, it was worth it to meet a player like Big Ben in his life.
……
The time entered March, in fact, half a month before the All-Star game, the Clippers' schedule began to become difficult, which also made the Clippers' record gradually decline.
By the end of March, the Trail Blazers had finally caught up with the Clippers and sat in first place in the West, while the Clippers were reduced to second place in the West.
Hearing that the night the Trail Blazers overtook the Clippers, Paul Allen didn't sleep all night and drank two bottles of red wine himself......
It's not easy, it's really not easy, this is the first time in the more than ten years since Richard left the Trail Blazers, the Trail Blazers have won the team led by Richard in terms of record, and it's no wonder that Paul Allen is happy to be like this.
……
The Clippers' record slipped to second place in the West, which made many fans feel a little disappointed, and they originally thought that the Clippers could keep this trend and reach the playoffs as the first in the West.
In addition to the decline in the Clippers' record, the Spurs' record at the end of the schedule also declined, originally they ranked third in the West, but at the end of the regular season, they suddenly lost several games in a row, allowing the Denver Nuggets behind them to catch up.
The Nuggets' ghost lineup actually reached the third place in the West, which was obviously unexpected.
The most well-known player on their roster is Iguodala, but Iguodala is no longer as bright as he was under his rookie contract, and is currently averaging only 13 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.7 steals per game with the Nuggets......
It's not that Iguodala's strength has declined compared to his rookie contract, but it's not much better, and it's still about the same level as before.
Outside of Iguodala, the Nuggets' current scoring leader is Ty Lawson, a small point guard with a height of 1.8 meters and a Silafayette player.
Rocket fans will certainly be no stranger to Tylawson, who was still a quasi-All-Star in the Nuggets, and after arriving at the Rockets, he directly became a mallet, dropping from an average of 15+ points per game to only 5 points.
Of course, Lawson's slide to the Rockets so much must have little to do with the Rockets, mainly because the Rockets don't have a powerful coach like George Carr, so they can't make the best use of Lawson's role.
The current head coach of the Nuggets is George Carr, who had a conflict with Richard, but after so many years, it is as good as ever, after all, the previous conflict was not a big deal.
For George Carr, Richard still admires it, with such a ghost lineup at hand, it can still play third in the West, with a win rate of nearly seventy percent, which is really powerful.
If it were your own, it is estimated that you may not be able to achieve such results......
On April 15, the regular season schedule was over, and the playoff roster for the East and West was released.
Trail Blazers, Clippers, Nuggets, Spurs, Warriors, Thunder, Lakers and Rockets.
What made Los Angeles fans cheer and boil was that the Clippers and Lakers actually met in the first round of the playoffs!
As if by God's arrangement, these two teams met in the first round of the playoffs, although the Lakers only ranked seventh in the West in the regular season, but there are still many die-hard Lakers fans who think that the Lakers have a good chance to kill the Clippers and advance to the Western Conference semifinals.
Their reasoning is simple: the playoffs are not regular seasons, and in the regular season, veterans may not fight as hard in the game to conserve fitness or avoid injury.
And when it comes to the playoffs, the value of veterans is greatly revealed.
The Lakers, the Big Five, with many veterans among them, can definitely take out the Clippers in the first round of the playoffs.
