Chapter 415: Rivers who is unwilling to be a wedding dress

In the following time, the Knicks continued to play well, but the Clippers couldn't find a basket.

At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks led the Clippers by 17 points at 32:15!

Da Yao scored 12 points in a single quarter!

The form is good, and Li Wei came on the court again with a substitute in the second quarter. Although Chris Ford also thinks similarly to other head coaches, keeping the starting point guard to bully Li Wei on the court, the starting point guard level of NBA teams is not consistent.

The Clippers' starting point guard, Troy Hudson, was an undrafted pick, with mediocre talent, a convulsive type on the offensive end, and he could score all the time when the wind was smooth, which was terrifying. However, on the defensive end, he is not a reassuring guy, both in terms of awareness and attitude, he is average.

Lee Wei couldn't defend against Troy Hudson, but Hudson didn't defend against the Knicks' pick-and-roll either. At the beginning, Hudson singled Li Wei and scored 2 points, and when he turned around, Li Wei used the cover to shoot a three-pointer!

The battle of soaring points was officially staged, but the Knicks had Big Ben and Garnett to help Li Wei wipe his farts for ten shares, and he could make up for the defense from time to time, but the Clippers did not have such good defensive talents, and they all wanted to brush up on the data!

At halftime, the score was 68:45 and the Clippers trailed by 23 points!

Clippers coach Chris Ford was furious and kept reprimanding their players during the break.

"I know you don't want to be on a clipper, and I don't want to be on a clipper, and no one in this world wants to be on a clipper! But how can we get out of the Clippers? That's to get results! Only if you play a result, other teams will sign you with a big contract, and only if I lead you to play a performance, other teams can come and poach me!

Give me a little sober, don't think about brushing data all day long, it's useless, what the management of each team needs to see is your attitude towards playing, you have to fight hard when you get on the field, you have to defend, you have to win, you know? If you want to support your family, you can fight for me! ”

Clippers general manager Elgin Baylor accidentally heard Chris Ford's words and was slightly startled.

What does it mean that no one in this world wants to be on the Clippers?

It's a big truth, but it can't come out of your mouth!

This Chris Ford has a problem with his mentality, if he continues to do so, it's better to fire him!

Ford didn't know that he had made a bad impression on the general manager, but his encouragement had a certain effect.

That's right, no one wants to stay with the Clippers, everyone must play and get out of this hellish place!

In the third quarter, the Clippers were like a rainbow, playing a 39:20 and recovering 19 points in the first quarter!

At 88:84, the Knicks' lead is only 4 points left!

This wave of outbursts of the Clippers shocked Li Wei into a cold sweat. He didn't play in the third quarter, but called two timeouts on the sidelines and kept adjusting his defense.

In fact, the gap between the strong teams and the weak teams in the NBA is not as big as everyone imagined, and the Clippers are indeed full of talent. When they play really hard, and the home team has the home whistle bonus, it is not a problem to defeat the strong with the weak!

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Li Wei played for a while, but the score between the two sides was still deadlocked. Then he came off the court and replaced Nash, and it was still the same.

In the end, the Knicks won 108-105 hard!

"Whew, it's not easy to win!" Li Wei sighed.

The Clippers' New York son, Ramar Odom, scored 24 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks, which led the Clippers to rise in the third quarter and finally play with the Knicks.

The village women's station has been advertising the match as Da Yao against Olowokandi, who in fact only played 16 minutes.

The talented champion of the class of '98 committed too many fouls, and it didn't take long for him to commit 4 fouls, and Chris Ford was already unhappy with him, so he just used this as an excuse to press him to the bench, and did not let him appear in the entire second half.

On the off court, Olovokandi had 2 points and 6 boards, and Da Yao cut 18 points, 9 boards, 1 assist and 2 blocks.

Li Wei scored 20+ for the second time in his career, scoring 22 points, in addition to 8 assists and 2 steals.

Maddy broke out in this game, scoring 33 points, the first scorer on the team, Garnett didn't attack much, 10 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, Nash 13 points, Houston was iron, 11 points.

After the game, Chris Ford said that the strength of the defending champion Knicks is really strong, and it is not easy for the Clippers to play with them to the end, and at the same time, he also praised Li Wei, who scored 22 points, saying that Li Wei is not tall, but he is an NBA-level player.

Li Wei also praised the Clippers, believing that both Olovo Kandi and Odom have the potential to become superstars, and also said that the future of the Clippers is limitless, and they may be championship contenders in a few years.

The media and reporters at the scene were all laughing when they heard Li Wei's words.

The Clippers are competing for a championship?

Donald Sterling probably wouldn't have such a thought when he dreamed!

On Nov. 24, the Knicks stepped on a plane back to New York, and this time they finally had a long break, and it wasn't until Nov. 27 that they had a new game again.

The game on the 27th is home to the Magic.

After the end of last season, Magic head coach Hubby Brown resigned, and management decided to rebuild. Superstar Penny Hardaway was bought for the Suns, former Bulls triple crown forward and Cobra Grant were bought for the SuperSonics, and Nick Anderson, the current all-time scoring leader for the Magic, was bought for the Kings......

In terms of coaching, Magic management hired Doug Rivers, a former All-Star point guard who had just retired and had never been a head coach!

The intention of this appointment is simply Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows that the Magic team hopes that the rookie coach can lead the team to play a bad record and help the team win a good signing!

But who is Doug Rivers?

Although he has never been a head coach, he is a big brother in the locker room, playing for teams such as the Hawks, Clippers, Knicks, Spurs, etc., and has followed Pat Riley, Mike Flatrow and Larry Brown and other famous coaches!

Being a transitional coach and making wedding dresses for others is not in his plans!

What about the Magic being fringe players?

He wants to take this group of marginal players to play a dazzling record and impress everyone!

In his previous life, Doug Rivers did do a thing, and his Magic team was 41-41, just one win away from making the playoffs. He was also voted Head Coach of the Season for his outstanding leadership, and Gabriel, the general manager of the Magic team, won one of the best general managers for it!

Gabriel must have been surprised to hear that he was the best general manager. He just wanted to mess around, how did he have a discerning eye, pick the best coach of the season, and then become the best general manager himself?

The ups and downs of life are so exciting!

However, Doug Rivers' battle for record is not necessarily a good thing for some people. For example, they traded Cobra Grant for the super potential newcomer Corey Margety, because he was not immediate, he got very little playing time, and he didn't get exercise, and then he was sent to the Clippers before he gradually became more valuable.

Doug Rivers in this life has made the same plan as in his previous life, and although the Magic team has not had a good start, it is not bad either, which is surprising enough for their star-studded lineup.
