What many people don't know is that Yang Shaoxia actually had a bright resume before joining the Lakers and the Warriors.

Last season, the 10-11 season, Yang Shaoxia was the scoring champion of the Wizards......

Although the average score per game is only more than 17 points per game, he is the top scorer in the team, but after all, he is also the scoring king, and countless players may not be able to achieve such an achievement in their entire careers.

And this season, in fact, under normal circumstances, Yang Shaoxia is still the scoring champion of the Wizards, but the average points per game have become more than 16 points......

The scoring champion of a team is only a little more than 16 points, so you can imagine the strength of this team.

At present, Wall's average points per game is only 0.2 points less than Yang Shaoxia, and he may be able to catch up in one or two games......

In the game just now, Wall's crazy singles made Yang Shaoxia dissatisfied, in his opinion, Wall was obviously coveting his scoring throne......

However, to Yang Shaoxia's relief, head coach Saunders let Waldo break points during this timeout, and then he has a chance.

……

The timeout is over and the game is resumed.

Wall is actually a prickly player, but he doesn't have the capital to prickly at the moment, so he must still listen to the words of an old coach like Sanders.

In the next two offensive rounds, although he still controlled the ball, he did not shoot blindly, and once passed to Hilario on the inside, and played a basket attack.

The other pass was in vain.

In the two offensive rounds of the Clippers, Horford showed strong strength under the basket, hitting two consecutive shots silently to pull the score away again.

In a short period of time, the Clippers have played an 11-2 offensive climax.

The Wizards fans at the scene were a little devastated, the Wizards started this season with a good momentum, and they thought they could take off the hat of the fish belly, but now it seems that they are still a fish belly team.

Are the Clippers strong? It definitely can't be called strong, and it is still a team outside the threshold of the Western Conference playoffs, but even so, the Wizards are still being beaten on the court......

……

The second quarter of the game had just started, only to hear a snap, and Nick Young's outside shot was directly fanned out of bounds by Leonard.

What is called a husband and a wife, the current Leonard can be roughly described in this sentence.

In the face of the weak Wizards, Leonard's defense exerted great power, almost single-handedly detonating the Wizards' interior line.

……

There is no suspense about winning or losing this game, Wall and Nick Young are already bound by Leonard's defense, and after these two teams dare not shoot, how can the Wizards still have a chance to win.

"Doot toot!" The referee blows the whistle for the end of the match.

The Clippers beat the home team Wizards on the road, winning by a huge 27-point margin in the game.

Nick Young scored just 11 points in the game, and Wall didn't get much better, scoring just 10 points......

Leonard shot 5-of-11 from the field and 3-of-4 from the free-throw line tonight, and finished with 14 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 blocks and 4 steals.

Because he put a lot of energy into the defensive end, Leonard didn't have too much desire to attack at the moment, and he only made 11 shots when he started for 32 minutes.

At the moment, Richard doesn't deliberately want Leonard to increase the number of shots, he is ready to do everything gradually, first let Leonard pour his energy on the defensive end and play defensive deterrence.

Under normal circumstances, Leonard has been like this from the beginning under Popovich's tutelage, and his offensive performance has not been too impressive, and he can only be said to be mediocre, never averaging more than 13 points per game in the first three seasons of his career.

But the defensive end is quite good, and he was selected to the best defensive second team in his third year.

It was also because of Leonard's strong defense that the Spurs were able to win the championship when Leonard was in his third year, and Leonard himself was awarded the FMVP.

……

"Man, this Leonard is such a nice newcomer, you have picked up a treasure again this time." After the match, Sanders greeted Richard with a wry smile.

Richard chuckled implicitly.

"Old man, Wall is actually still good, if you can use his full potential and have him as the core, I don't think you will have a problem in the Eastern Conference playoffs."

Hearing Richard's words, Sanders smiled bitterly.

"Of course, I also know that this guy has a good potential, otherwise, he wouldn't be the champion, but it's too difficult to discipline, and I won't tell you, I don't know if I can finish this season now."

Sanders is in an awkward situation now, he has been with the Wizards for more than two years, and in the past two years, the Wizards' strength has not improved, and they are still so fishy.

If the Odds can maintain their current winning percentage and give the team's management hope of making the playoffs, then Sanders can still retain his position.

But if the results start to decline and the hope of making the playoffs is lost, then Sanders' departure is a sure end.

No team would tolerate a head coach who would not be able to make the playoffs for three years.

Even a veteran manager like Philip Saunders.

Richard sighed, and he didn't say that Sanders was fired and later the Clippers became an assistant coach......

After all, a veteran coach like Sanders, it is really inappropriate for him to be an assistant coach.

……

After winning the Wizards, the Clippers then played a 6-3 record because of the easier schedule, and the overall record changed from 9-13 to 15-16, which is about to reach a 50% winning rate.

However, such a record still failed to make the Clippers into the top eight in the West, and they are currently one win away from the Jazz, who are eighth in the West.

……

Under normal circumstances, this season is actually a season of shrinkage.

In July 2011, the old CBA agreement expired, and the league negotiated with the players' union, which took more than five months to finally negotiate.

This resulted in more than a dozen games played in the regular season this year......

But the current situation is different, this time the negotiation appeared Richard's figure, under his maneuver, the two sides of the negotiation went relatively smoothly, and in the end it only took a month to negotiate.

So this season did not have a shutdown as usual, but started the regular season normally.

As the team owner of the league, Richard naturally does not want to be shut down, and if he plays one less game, he will make money for one less game......

The current president of the players' union and management, many of whom are West Lafayette players, although they can't sell the interests of the players, but in the case of a big difference, they didn't continue to entangle with the league, and after a month of negotiations, they happily signed a new CBA agreement.

……

The All-Star weekend was getting closer, and the Clippers finally managed to surpass it at the end of January and squeeze into the top eight in the West.

This may be the most difficult time for Richard to coach in the top eight in the West, before that, the playoffs were not a problem for Richard at all, only the playoffs that Richard didn't want to enter, and there was no playoffs that Richard couldn't enter.

And this season, halfway through the schedule, Richard finally stumbled to bring the team within the threshold of the Western Conference playoffs.

I have to say that the strength of the new melons and eggs that Richard has on hand this year is still quite good.

From being at a loss on the court when he first entered the league, to now he has gradually played decently, and there is a lot of hard work in it.

……

Richard definitely lost the opportunity to coach the All-Star this year, which is naturally a bit disappointing for him.

However, judging from the current posture, Richard may have a chance next year.

The Mavericks have been on a downward trend since the beginning of this year, and it will definitely be even worse next year.

As for the Lakers, in this year's draft, Richard helped them select two newcomers, and they are quite strong at the moment, but next year, with the departure of Big Ben and the fact that the main players are a year older, their competitiveness may also begin to decline.

As for the Spurs, this could be Richard's biggest rival for No. 1 in the West next year.

As for the other Western teams, to be honest, Richard really didn't pay much attention to it.
