And the facts can also prove that the prince may not be so watery... After entering the NBA, especially after joining the Clippers, he really gave his father a lot of face...

There were some "highlights" in the playoffs, scoring 16 points in Game 4 against the Spurs and 26 points and 6 rebounds on 10-of-13 shooting in Game 3 against the Rockets. After the Clippers season, Rivers Jr. returned to his home in Orlando for practice!

These can be called Rivers' highlight moments, and they are also the moments when Rivers Jr. gives his father a face.

It is the basis for him to stay with the Clippers!

In fact, Rivers has long wanted to use his son as a starter, but unfortunately, his life is not very good, and he was injured once a while ago, which caused him to come back now!

He still knows his son very well, and it is definitely impossible for him to break out once he is injured like the Divine Turtle, and the most likely thing is that he will not be able to recover his state for a period of time after the injury.

So!

Don't embarrass your son! Sit quietly on the bench and play as a substitute!

It's just right, I'm going to arrange a time for you to play, just like now... Although the Bulls are the No. 1 team in the league, their strength lies only in one Li Ming, and the other players have that strength, not to mention their bench lineup, not to mention weak!

Watch the Bulls bring in the bench!

He waited until the flowers were almost grateful, and hurried to let his son play!

Seriously, it's not easy, although his son is a two-way guard, he is too sticky to the ball, and there is no difference between being a shooting guard and a point guard.

But the point guard of the Bulls is Li Ming, and his son, if he goes to the opposite position with Li Ming, he will be abused like a dog nine times out of ten, which... It is not conducive to building his image. Although Rivers' image was not very good, and there were so many rumors outside, he couldn't break the can, so he kept letting his son behave like a waste material. He's still going to have to let Rivers Jr. show his own brilliance!

He thought so, and Rivers Jr. did not disappoint him, and his performance over the years has become more and more stable, which is why he dared to give his son 30 million to the contract.

Of course, in this era of inflation, his son doesn't get much money, how to say that it is also a guard with 15.3 points, 2.5 rebounds and 3.8 rebounds! With a little Nerve Knife attributes, it can be regarded as a high-quality contract in this league!

However, just because he is the champion coach, it has become an improper transaction to bring his son into his name.

Even his players at one point openly mocked Rivers Jr...

In June 2017, the big baby Davis taunted Rivers Jr. from the air: Take the money your dad gave you and shut up. The cause of the incident is not very important, from Davis's words, he can see many people's attitude towards Rivers Jr., when he does not play well, words such as prince brother, go through the back door, and related household have become the best way to ridicule him. Jokes or mockery, Rivers understands that this is what his son has to endure when he comes to the Clippers.

But why is everyone ignoring his son's progress? From averaging 7.1 points to 8.9 points to 12 points per game this season, and averaging 15.1 points per game in the just-concluded 17-18 season, Rivers Jr.'s progress is progressing at a visible rate!

Moreover, he didn't really give Rivers Jr. preferential treatment just because he was his son, even if it was garbage time, he would be strict with Rivers Jr., and scolding was commonplace.

And he can see that his son has to work harder, be more cautious, and perform better because it is his father standing on the sidelines, so that everyone can not say that he is relying on his father. But even so, his efforts are often overshadowed by the father-son relationship that the outside world only sees.

Rivers wanted to say that his son was good, but he couldn't...

That's it, let it all go!

His son is growing up anyway...

For example, in this game off the bench, Rivers Jr. played very well, and now he has only played seven minutes, but he has already scored 7 points, and he is 3 of 5 shots, and the efficiency is not to be said!

The score difference gradually widened to 5 points.

Yes, that's right, they have a 5-point lead over the Bulls!

If this gap is maintained until the end, I am afraid ... You may not know what it will look like after the game!

Of course.... Rivers also knew that this was impossible, no matter how he said it, it was impossible for the Bulls not to let Li Ming play, as long as Li Ming played last, then they would definitely lose...

There is no doubt that Rivers has no way to take Li Ming!

But what they didn't expect was ... Li Ming really didn't play in the next game, sat on the bench all the time, and even watched the Bulls lose the game!

This.... Rivers didn't know why, though, the only thing he knew was that his chance to brag was coming!

But... What he didn't expect was that something bigger happened after the game!

That is, the results of the latest round of voting in the All-Star Game show that Li Ming is only 10,000 votes away from LeBron!
