Since the All-Star is out of suits, Richard naturally doesn't want the players to work too hard in the regular season.

Next, the Clippers began to use some lineups that were not used very often before, and began to prepare for the playoffs.

What Richard didn't expect was that the Spurs saw that the Clippers were showing signs of giving up the first place in the West, and they directly took over the Clippers' first place in the West.

Originally, Richard thought that Popovich would be like himself and start to release water in the regular season......

In the blink of an eye, the playoffs in mid-April were on the way.

There wasn't much to say in the first two rounds, and the Clippers beat the Thunder in the first round with the second-best record in the West.

As a result, Leonard didn't use Leonard to call Wiggins, Richard just asked Thompson to defend Wiggins, and directly packed Wiggins into obedience, and the entire series was played in four games, and Wiggins' shooting rate was only 36%.

And Wei Shao, under Leonard's defense, is also complaining, and the 39% shooting rate in the series is a little ugly.

At the moment, Richard has a fairly obvious advantage in the lineup at hand.

That is to give full play to Leonard's advantages on the defensive end, whether the opponent is a guard or a small forward, as long as it is the point where the opponent's offensive firepower is the strongest, Leonard will follow the defense.

Although Brother Alphabet is a point guard, there is no point guard or point guard on the defensive end, and his body can easily take over Leonard's opposing player.

In this way, at least the strongest offensive point of the Clippers opponent must be difficult to break out, and under Leonard's defense, if it can still break out, it will really be a fairy.

Easily eliminated the Thunder, the Clippers' second-round opponent is the Trail Blazers, who are ranked third in the West this season.

This round of the series is still quite difficult, and if it weren't for Leonard's fatal two three-pointers in the sixth game, this round of the series could really be dragged into a tiebreaker.

Although even if it enters the tiebreaker, the Clippers still have a greater winning rate, but in case of that small probability event, it is estimated that it will be enough for Richard to have a pain.

With the addition of Rondo, the Trail Blazers' point has become even more terrifying......

A league's No. 1 center, plus a top traditional point guard like Rondo, can undoubtedly play a greater role, which is why Paul Allen would want to bring in Rondo.

……

Paul Allen is quite satisfied with this series, and what else can he not be satisfied with for causing so much trouble to the Clippers.

You must know that the Clippers are the favorites to win the championship this year, and they can almost drag the Clippers into the seven-game tiebreaker, which is already quite a good performance of combat power.

Then came the Western Conference Finals, where the Clippers met the Spurs for the third year in a row.

This time Duncan was not injured, and with Capela as a fairly good fighter, the Clippers played extremely difficult.

G7 in the West Finals, there is only one minute left before the game.

The Clippers are just two points ahead.

Although this is the home stadium of the Spurs, there are also many Clippers fans at the scene, and the most eye-catching of them is naturally Richard's family, who sit not far from the Clippers bench.

At present, Richard's three children are less than half a month away and will be exactly ten years old.

The school system in the United States is generally similar to that of China in the 21st century, with a six-three-three school system, that is, six years of elementary school, three years of junior high school and three years of high school.

Of course, there are no exceptions, there are some states that will adopt the six-six school system or the eight-four school system, and even the five-three-four and four-four-four school system, anyway, it is very messy.

However, the school system in Los Angeles is 633, which is six years of elementary school.

It is said that it is six years of primary school, but in fact there are only five grades, the first year is preschool, and the next five years are considered real elementary school.

Libit's three boys went to elementary school at the age of four, and two days ago they ended their elementary school careers and are about to enter junior high school.

There is no doubt that if you want to say the brightest cub on the basketball court in Los Angeles, it is undoubtedly Libit and Li Jin.

These two have now reached the point where they are invincible in Los Angeles, and if they are matched with a lineup, no team in any school in Los Angeles will be their opponent.

And they don't just win, the key is to beat their opponents by a rather horrible margin every time.

After such a duo is promoted to junior high school, you can imagine how painful those junior high school students will be.

By the end of the three-year junior high school, I am afraid that the moment these two enter high school, they will directly become five-star high school students in the United States.

In three years, I graduated from high school......

These two boys were only 16 years old at that time, and they were already qualified for the NBA draft.

If you stay in previous years, you can't get the draft at the age of 16, and the draft rules in previous years were that players must be at least 19 years old, regardless of whether you go to the NCAA after graduating from high school, or go to the American minor league or a foreign league, anyway, you have to mix until you are 19 years old, and you will definitely not be allowed to participate in the draft if you are not at this age.

This was also the draft rule introduced when Stern was in office, that is, the salary negotiation that banned high school students from participating in the draft.

And further back, in fact, the NBA is not very restrictive on this, for example, when O'Neal Jr. participated in the draft, he was actually just over 17 years old, Kobe Bryant was also not 18 years old, and Bynum was also 17 years old to participate in the draft.

Some fans may wonder, why are all high school students participating in the draft, why are some people 17 years old, some people 18 years old, and even some people almost 19 years old?

Removing the size of the player's birth month, there is actually the reason why some players are in the fourth year of high school.

As for the newly introduced draft rules this time, Xiao Hua did not specifically limit the draft age of the players, there is only one restriction, that is, they must graduate from high school.

If there is a prodigy who can graduate from high school at the age of 10, then as long as he wants to sign up for the draft, he is actually eligible.

It seems that there is a loophole in the rules introduced by Xiao Hua, but in fact, if you think about it carefully, this is not a loophole at all, what is the use of just having a draft qualification? You have to be able to be selected......

And this kind of rule can also save some special players from some trouble.

For example, Libit and Li Jin are definitely special types.

They started school two years earlier than everyone else, and if the NBA restricts players to 18 years old to participate in the draft, then Libit and Lee Kim will have to play in the NCAA until they are 18 years old before they can run.

How could Xiao Hua tolerate this kind of gold-sucking player being taken advantage of by the NCAA, if he wants to take advantage, he must also take advantage of Xiao Hua.

Libit and Li Jin have too many topics on them, and they already have considerable popularity in Los Angeles.

Richard's son, the heir to the super-rich Paul Allen, has a mine in his family, has half Chinese blood in his body, fights all over Los Angeles, and is a top student......

If they enter the NBA, these two people will definitely bring huge benefits to the NBA, how can Xiao Hua bear to close the door to these two people.
