Avery Bradley is one of the top defensive duos, and his defense with the ball is suffocating!

This is what a basketball website said about him back then!

It can be described as hitting the nail on the head.

LaVine faced him and simply shook to break through, but was entangled by the latter, and the ball barely hit the basket.

Once a successful defense, it was the Clippers' turn to attack.

Teodosic dribbled to the front court and did not hand it to Bradley, who had just made a contribution, although he was good at cutting and shooting crosshairs, but he was short as a shooting guard and had average left hand, and his shooting selection was problematic.

Rather than giving the ball to Bradley, it is better to hand it over to Wesley Johnson at the small forward position, the latter has excellent physical condition, strong jumping ability, soft mid-range shooting, certain three-point shooting ability, excellent vision and passing skills, in short, it is a forward who can shoot and pass, and handing the ball to him to respond is definitely better than handing it to Bradley!

There really wasn't much of a problem with this pass, Johnson contributed ten seconds after getting the ball, assisting Jordan Jr. to dunk it!!

Judging from the offense of these few balls, the Clippers are far from showing signs of rebuilding due to the departure of Paul and Griffin, on the contrary, they have gained a group of strong and practical players.

If you find a cornerstone that can gather your core strength, you may not be able to grow directly.

The first quarter ended like this, Li Ming didn't exert much strength, and the players of the Clippers also performed well enough, so the entire first quarter was played to the end, and the score between the two sides did not open, and the gap between the two sides was still maintained within 4 points...

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Clippers adjusted their lineup, and Austin Rivers came on.

This brother is not simple!

As early as high school, he was already famous and was known as the strongest high school student in the United States!

At the 2008 Palmetto City Classic Invitational, Austin Rivers led the team to three top-10 high school teams in the United States, scoring 46 points in the battle for third place. At the 38th Palm City Classic on December 23, 2009, Austin Rivers scored 45 points in the semifinals and was named the tournament's MVP for the second year in a row, scoring 72 points in the final two games, including 27 in the finals.

When Austin Rivers was still a student at Winter Park High School, he led the team to the 2010 Florida 6A League championship, and in the final against Phillip High School, Rivers scored 23 points and won 76-57 at Winter Park High School, which was also the first time in the history of Winter High School to win this competition.

In 2011, Rivers led Winter Park High School to a 52-44 win over Phillip High School to win back-to-back championships, in which Rivers had 25 points, 11 rebounds and four steals. On March 11, 2011, Rivers was named Naismith's All-American High School Player, and was named to the All-America and All-State All-NBAs, as well as an invitation to the Nike Basketball Summit in 2011.

Austin Rivers averaged 29.6 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.2 assists and two steals per game in his high school career. The North American Scouting Network and ESPN position Austin Rivers as the No. 1 player in this age group.

If the league still allowed high school students to enter the league directly at that time, Firth would definitely become another high school player to jump directly to the NBA, and his ranking would not be low!

No way, this guy's performance is really amazing!

However, even when he entered college, he did not fail to use his talent.

In 2011, Austin Rivers enrolled in Duke University, and in the 2011-12 freshman season, Austin Rivers averaged 15.5 points per game to join Jonny Hawkins and Bill Sap, becoming the third freshman scoring champion in Duke franchise history.

He was named to the ACC All-NBA First Team and the All-American Basketball Coaches Association All-NBA Third Team, scoring more than 20 points eight times.

That included a season-high 29 points against the University of North Carolina on Feb. 8, 2012, and hit a three-pointer to help the team beat the opponent 85-84 on the road, shooting 9-of-16 from the field, including 6-of-10 from three-point range, and grabbing five rebounds!

In addition, he scored 23 points in an overtime win over Virginia Tech, making 11-of-17 free throws.

In an earlier game against his opponent, he scored 18 points on 7-of-11 shooting.

Scored 22 points on 8-of-18 shooting in a loss to Ohio University, the No. 2 seed! Scored 18 points on 6-of-13 shooting in 25 minutes against the University of Washington! Played 43 minutes in the overtime battle with the University of Miami and scored 20 points and 9 rebounds!

In Duke's freshman list, Austin Rivers ranks in the top five all-time in seven technical statistics, including 527 points, ranking third; He averaged 3rd in 15.5 points per game, 121 in total free throws, 184 in free throws, 58 on three-pointers, 3rd in 30 doubles, and 5th in 8 20+ points.

This statistic is enough to prove that he is good, and it was also at the end of this season that he participated in the draft, and was finally selected by the Pelicans with the 10th pick at the time, and then in the Los Angeles Clippers, the Celtics, and the Suns reached a three-way trade clock, Austin Rivers was traded to the Clippers, as the son of Clippers coach Doug Rivers, his addition also made the first time in NBA history that father and son played on the same team in a mentor-apprentice relationship.

Therefore, it also caused criticism, Rivers was nicknamed the crown prince, and some people even joked that if it weren't for his father, I'm afraid he would have been out of this alliance a long time ago!

Because he has been uncomfortable since entering the alliance, and occasionally there is a flash of inspiration, but more often than not, he is still a pit father, and he is even more Adou than Adou who can't be helped!

After three seasons, his scouting report reads: an awkward two-way guard with insufficient vision to play point guard; Accustomed to sticking to the ball, average outside shooting, and poor finishing ability; Athleticism is mediocre, defensive aggressive but not strong enough.

Thankfully, his dad was the head coach and gave him plenty of patience, and he grew up quickly, and the same scouting report quickly became almost earth-shattering: Doc Rivers' first step in the breakout was fantastic in terms of individual skills, and his skillful ball handling skills took on the role of point guard. In terms of scoring, Rivers Jr. is a natural scorer with a well-rounded scoring skill set and NBA-level range that can score from 25 feet out. In addition, he plays aggressively, has good finishing skills under the basket, and will use the rebound to avoid the opponent's block. After breaking through the opponent, he can skillfully use the step-back jumper or dry shot to score points. In terms of using blocking and dismantling, it can pass and throw and burst.
