Chapter 838 - 11 championships in his coaching career
For the second year in a row, Richard led the Clippers to the Western Conference championship and reached the Finals, which made many fans sitting in front of the TV watching the live broadcast very excited.
The Clippers are going to rise completely, and this is the rhythm of building a dynasty.
When Richard took over the Clippers, many fans thought that Richard might make earth-shaking changes for the Clippers, but they never expected that the rise of the Clippers would come so fast and so rapid!
After Richard won the championship last season, the championship rings in hand have risen to double digits, a full ten championship rings, and he has become the first head coach in the entire NBA history to lead the team to win ten championships.
There was also a Zen master Jackson before, who can be compared with Richard, and the Zen master has led the team to win a total of eight championships at hand.
Among them, the Bulls Dynasty is six, the OK combination period is once, and the Kobe Gasol combination period is once, for a total of eight times.
But now, with Richard's championship count breaking through to double digits last season, the Zen master no longer has the capital to compare with Richard.
Not only is there no one in the active coaching group who can compete with Richard, but even Auerbach has led the team to championships only nine times as a coach, which is less than double digits.
If Richard continues to win championships this year, Richard will tie with Bill Russell for the most NBA championship rings.
At that time, Richard can really be called the Lord of the Rings in the coaching group.
……
The Clippers and the Cavaliers met in the finals, but the Mars collision with the earth that many fans had predicted did not appear, and the Clippers simply killed the newly formed Cavaliers triumvirate with a score of 4:1.
Owen's point still makes Richard quite jealous, this is a fairy player who can kill the game when he explodes.
In terms of pure overall strength, Owen is definitely not the strongest star in the league, but at some specific moments, if Owen opens the fairy ball, it will really be a god to block and kill God.
Therefore, Richard directly sent Leonard to defend Owen, not giving Owen a chance to explode at all.
Leonard's ease of use makes Richard have an urge to thank God, this player is simply too easy to use, there is no backcourt player he can't prevent, Richard even maliciously thought that if the peak Leonard meets the peak Jordan, I don't know what the scene will be, I don't know if Leonard can restrain Jordan......
Some fans may not be optimistic that Leonard can guard Jordan, but in fact, if you think about the fact that Payton can limit Jordan one-on-one, will Leonard's defense be worse than Payton?
Anyway, in Richard's opinion, Leonard's defense is better than Payton's.
The physical hardware of both sides alone is not at the same level at all.
In these five games, Irving was limited by Leonard to only average 17 points per game.
Such a score is naturally not small for the young Irving, who entered the finals for the first time.
But just 17 points per game, coupled with a modest offensive efficiency, will certainly not help James win the championship he dreams of.
As for Lefou, Richard cruelly let Green and Gobert take turns to deal with it......
In the year he came to the Cavaliers, in order to match James's style of play, Love took the initiative to lose weight, striving to play a role like Heat Bosh in the team.
It should not be difficult for fans to find that the Heat Big Three and the Cavaliers Big Three are actually exactly the same, almost carved out of a mold.
The wolf king Lefu vs. the dragon king Bosh, these two styles are still quite similar, especially after Lefu loses weight, he is almost a Bosh No. 2.
Wade in 193 vs. Owen in 191......
Wade is actually similar to Duncan, Duncan is nominally the No. 4 position, but in fact he does the work of the No. 5 position.
And Wade is nominally the No. 2 position, but in fact he is exactly the same as the No. 1 two-way guard that emerged in these leagues later......
James is still that James.
Therefore, there is no difference between the Heat Big Three and the Cavaliers Big Three, and they are still exactly the same Big Three configuration.
It can be seen that this is James' favorite system.
Under normal circumstances, in the summer of 2019, the Lakers brought in Davis and Kemba Walker, which is basically the reason why they continued to match James with the same Big Three lineup.
Thick eyebrows are undoubtedly a representative of the space power forward, although he is definitely better than Love or Bosh, but the style of play is similar to both.
As for Kemba Walker, he is also a well-known two-way guard, even if he is not as good as Irving, but the gap is not particularly large.
(This is Da Hei's speculation, it has been determined that the thick eyebrows joined the Lakers, Woshen broke the news, there should be no mistake, as for Kemba Walker, I feel that the Lakers will not be able to take only one thick eyebrows this offseason, there will inevitably be movements, most likely to take a guard player.) )
……
Because of Lefou's weight loss, the low-post singles that were originally quite good are now unable to play.
Whether it's hard-top Green or hard-top Gobert, it's not moving now......
Owen and Love were both restrained, and Richard didn't care much about James.
Brother Alphabet is alone against James, and if he can defend it, let him score if he can't prevent it, it's not a big deal.
Richard wouldn't have wrapped up James anyway, because it didn't make sense at all.
In Richard's impression, whether in his past life or in this life, it is very rare that James will be caught in the finals.
Regardless of the reason, Popovich did it anyway, and Cole did it in his previous life, and Richard didn't make sense to break the routine.
As a result, Richard led the team to win the championship on the home court of the Clippers and won the second championship trophy in the history of the Clippers.
Richard also won the 11th championship trophy of his coaching career.
Seeing the Clippers championship flag rising above the arena, many fans were excited.
Five years ago, when Richard didn't take over the Clippers, they couldn't believe that five years later, tonight, the Clippers would have two championship flags flying over their arena.
In fact, the Clippers are a rather embarrassing team, and the Lakers in the same city almost have to hang flags over Staples Arena.
All kinds of championship flags, all kinds of retired jersey flags......
Before Richard took over, the Clippers didn't have a flag, not only did they not have a championship flag, they didn't even have a division championship flag, and they didn't even have a flag for the retirement of players' jerseys, which was quite embarrassing......
Now that the Clippers finally have two flags, in fact, if Richard wants to get more flags, it is not impossible, for example, to fly two flags for the division champion.
However, Richard felt a bit self-defeating to hang the flag of the division champion, what is the division champion? It's not shameful enough to hang up......
