Chapter 365 The Rookie Warriors
Chapter 365 The Rookie Warriors (Ten Thousand Words Chapter)
Many players can perform well in the playoffs, and it is not a problem to shoot 7% of the field goals in a game!
But most of the shooting percentages are conservative in character. If you played well in the last game, you may suddenly pull your hips in the next game.
在14~15赛季的季后赛中,斯蒂芬-库里可能上一场比赛三分线外11中2,下一场比赛就9中7
For an outside player, this phenomenon is very common. In the case of a large number of shots, the shooting percentage of most players will decrease.
Of course, there are also players who break this law. In the 90s, Michael Jordan often threw more and more accurately, increasing the number of shots without reducing efficiency.
However, America's new fans have never seen Jordan play live, so when Li Ze appeared, the new fans were shocked.
Fans of the Grizzlies, Spurs, and Heat have the deepest experience, while fans in Los Angeles are completely used to it.
In Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals, at the AT Center Arena, the Spurs fans had long lost their temper. They lost 24 points at halftime, and the third quarter of the game can be regarded as garbage time.
There was no booing at the scene, and the broken fans even cheered for Li Ze's goal, and booed their own straddle core by the way.
With 3 minutes and 3 seconds left in the third quarter, Leonard used Duncan's cover to break through the middle with the ball in his left hand. Feeling the defensive pressure on his side, he took the initiative to exert force near the free throw line, leaned against Li Ze, and then retreated laterally. .
The ideal shooting space did not appear, but Li Ze seized the opportunity to further defend, and directly let Leonard stop the ball at the left elbow of the free throw line.
"shush"
There were sporadic boos at the scene again. This is not the first time this has happened. Throughout the game, Leonard rarely succeeded in singles.
The Clippers' defense did not relax. After Li Ze completed the pressure on Leonard, others also began to guard against receiving the ball.
Parker got rid of Paul twice in a row from beyond the three-point line, and Leonard was forced to protect the ball, and he couldn't even find a good passing route.
Seeing that there was not much time left in the attack, he could barely throw the ball to Parker who was outside the three-point line. The latter resisted Paul's defense and forced a three-pointer.
The long rebound fell into Li Ze's arms, and Leonard became more and more frustrated. The team was still giving him the ball, but unfortunately, he couldn't take on the heavy responsibility of scoring.
"Shhh!!"
88:58, the huge point difference of 30 points made it difficult for Spurs fans to accept. According to the team's current scoring trend, 3 points can be scored in the third quarter.
The pace of the Clippers has also completely slowed down. The Spurs' defense was tough for more than 3 minutes in the third quarter. They double-teamed Li Ze crazily, and then they were beaten more and less. After continuing to expand the point difference, they stopped completely. dish.
The boos from the fans did not affect Leonard. He was frustrated, but he was still focused on the defensive end, but the rest of the Spurs didn't have this emotion.
Paul didn't catch the ball either, and the left flank was far away from the three-point line, signaling Barnes in the right corner to slip to the bottom line to open up space for Li Ze to attack.
Jordan stands depressed on the left side near the baseline. Although he has better physical fitness, the Spurs always foul him. Therefore, after missing a few free throws, Jokic's pick-and-roll work becomes Jokic's job. .
The Clippers quickly cleared one side, and Li Ze realized that there was no double-team in this round. When the left wing was close to the three-point line, he held the ball with his left hand and protected the ball with his back.
Leonard didn't think about any defensive strategy at this time. He kept interfering with the ball. At the moment when the opponent cut the ball with his right hand, Li Ze suddenly lowered his center of gravity. The right hand protecting the ball swept away Leonard's arm, and suddenly turned around and accelerated. .
Quickly adjusting the defensive focus, Leonard slid back to the right desperately. Seeing that the opponent had just retreated within the three-point line, Li Ze took a big step and suddenly made a large cross step to dribble back.
Get rid of the defense for a short time, do not make adjustments outside the three-point line, and quickly combine the ball to shoot a jumper!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!
The AT Center arena was silent for a moment. The Spurs fans watched Li Ze raise his right hand and raised three fingers. They were all silent. Only a small number of Li Ze's fans cheered loudly.
"Shut up!"
The Spurs fans who broke through the defense found a traitor in their home court, and immediately shouted at the cheering audience.
The two sides quickly changed from scolding to physical entanglement. As soon as Li Ze retreated to halftime, the referee stopped the game and the fans started fighting
Jokic's two older brothers were still cheering loudly in the front row, and even wanted to join in the fun. For a while, it was more lively outside the court than on the court.
In the commentary seat of TNT, Chris Webber also laughed when he saw this situation:
"I thought Kayce would be the least popular person in San Antonio. It seems that I still underestimated the charm of MVP."
Reggie Miller glanced at the stats, then smiled and said:
"Miami fans will never forgive Kayce, 4 championships, the away locker room at the American Airlines Center, and maybe the smell of champagne now!"
The game was forced to suspend, and the Spurs bench was silent. Popovich waved his hand and signaled the atmosphere team to come on the stage. There was more than two minutes left, so there was no need to continue. The fans saw through the defense.
Coach De Nagro saw the Spurs' movements and immediately patted Li Ze on the shoulder:
"It's time to rest, Kayce! Enjoy your victory."
Tyronn Lu on the side looked at the technical statistics in his hand, and he had a lemon in his heart. There may be only one difference between him and the champion coach, Li Ze.
出场28分钟,21中15,三分线外4中3,罚球8中8,41分6篮板4助攻2抢断1盖帽1失误。
With such data, any coach would feel sour after reading it, so what tactics should they use?Give the ball to the thigh and it's over
What surprised Tyronn Lue the most is that Li Ze, who is off the ball, is handling the ball faster and faster. In many cases, he throws it in 3 seconds. Attacked.
When Reggie Miller saw that Li Ze had already put on his training uniform, he cried out inwardly that it was a pity, and then said again:
"Normal rotation, playing 4 minutes in the fourth quarter, Kayce's data will definitely increase by 9 points, 10 minutes of playing time is too little."
The commentator Marv Albert didn't care about the statistics anymore. Thinking that the big score was already 3:0, he immediately brought up another topic:
"With 15 wins and 1 loss, the Clippers have a chance to replicate the achievements of the Lakers. Allen Iverson made the mighty Lakers lose a game. I hope to see another Iverson appear."
Chris Webber doesn't like the Lakers, but the old-school players are usually thick and thin, and he took the conversation firmly:
"There will never be another Iverson, the game is too soft now, the Clippers have a chance to break the record!"
When the game resumed, both sides took the atmosphere group, the overall situation was set, and the fourth quarter became garbage time.
Jokic also enjoyed the treatment of the main force, sitting off the court and watching the data.
7中4,罚球4中4,12分7篮板3助攻1抢断2失误。
Jokic felt a little regretful that he failed to get a double-double, only 3 rebounds short.
Paul was very happy, the series was 3:0, and he didn't have to go back to Los Angeles for the semifinals. In addition, tonight's statistics were also very good, and the matter of Griffin's injury was directly thrown to the back of his mind.
14中8,其中三分球2中1,罚球6中6,23分3篮板12助攻1抢断1失误,再次打出超过5成的命中率,保罗非常满意。
In contrast, Leonard is autistic. In the past few games, his number of shots has been ranked first on the team. Tonight, he made 15 of 3 and only scored 10 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 turnovers. .
After singles, most of the times he was forced to stop the ball. Facing Li Ze's single defense, it was difficult to catch the ball in the sweet spot.
Every time he meets Li Ze, Leonard will finally break the defense, cover his head with his hands in a towel, this is not the first time a Spurs player has seen such a scene.
In the past few years, every time he played against Li Ze in the playoffs, the taciturn new core would be depressed for a while.
The game progressed quickly, and Popovich was not in the mood to ask for a timeout. The bad old man doubted whether the team's transformation was correct. Now Leonard looks difficult to take on the big task.
Amidst the boos of the Spurs fans, the game officially ended. At 128:98, the Clippers beat their opponents again and easily got the match point!
The sports media on the scene started tweeting as early as halftime. Once the game ended, most of his social media were:
"Clipper Nation! (Clipper Nation!)"
After the Warriors beat the Rockets, the Clippers also responded by beating the Spurs. Griffin's injury once again reminded critics of Li Ze in 13 years.
After another two seasons, Li Ze's condition seems to be even better. Among the remaining teams in the playoffs, perhaps only LeBron James' game experience can surpass Li Ze.
Thinking of this, everyone realized that the Clippers' remaining opponents were all rookies!
All of a sudden, all the media became staunch Clippers fans:
"Clippers Championship!"
At the press conference after the game, the reporters present only cared about helping the Clippers loan the championship and bragging about each other following the business.
As for the Spurs, no one cares, Duncan is completely dead, Leonard?Defensive engineers!
After the other game of the night, it finally took away some of the Clippers' traffic.
At 101:103, the Wizards returned to the home court to kill the opponent at the last moment, and the series score came to 2:1.
The Eagles lost the game in an upset, Paul Pierce made a big heart lore, and the fans of the Wizards were crazy. They had a chance to reach the Eastern Conference Finals.
The regular season has a record of 60 wins, but the playoffs have not shown any dominance. Regarding this situation, the critics will not show mercy:
"The playoffs are a stage for superstars, and the Eagles lack a real core!"
In addition to the ecstasy of the Wizards fans, most fans are still discussing whether the Clippers can break the Lakers' playoff record.
Although Warriors fans firmly believe that the team will win the championship, they cannot refute in the face of doubts:
"The three All-Stars James, Wade, and Bosh were unable to win the Clippers in 13 years. The Warriors failed to prove themselves in the playoffs"
The Clippers' overly strong performance made many players fall for lemons.
Not long ago, the NBA announced the best rookie of the 14-15 season, Maple Leaf Jordan Andrew Wiggins successfully won the award.
场均16.9分4.6篮板2.1助攻1.0抢断0.6盖帽2.2失误,投篮命中率为43.7%,三分球命中率为31.0%。
The data is quite satisfactory, but Wiggins, who won the award, is still very happy, which can be regarded as the initial recognition of the league.
But not long after he was happy, Wiggins found that his best rookie was not popular. The fans were discussing the Clippers, and the media were praising Li Ze.
No one cared about him as the best rookie at all, and even the other four players with the best rookie team didn't have any enthusiasm:
Nikola Mirotic, Nerlens Noel, Elfrid Payton, Jordan Clarkson.
The other 4 players in the first team of the best rookies didn't even splash the water. After the announcement of the league, the media and fans didn't respond, and they just forgot about it.
On the night of May 5th, LeBron James once again aroused heated discussions among fans!
In the last 2 seconds before the end of the game, the sideline kick was taken, James received a pass from Dellavedova, and made a mid-range jumper from the left corner, killing the Bulls!
At 86:84, the big score of the series came to 2:2, the Cavaliers struggled to regain the initiative, and the battle of Tianwangshan will return to Cleveland.
出场43分钟,30中10,砍下25分14篮板8助攻1抢断2盖帽8失误。
Although the efficiency was not high, LeBron James managed to stand up and lead the Cavaliers to move forward when the whole team was misfired.
Mengxin Irving played 41 minutes, 10 of 2, scored 12 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals. Facing the Bulls' defense, he lost again.
After the baptism of the playoffs, Irving also put away his pride. LeBron James is indeed better than him. After the lore, Irving finally let go of his prejudice.
德里克-罗斯最近状态出色,23中11,砍下31分2篮板4助攻2失误的数据。
Jimmy Butler, who just won the Most Improved Player (MIP), played 45 minutes, scored 21 of 8, scored 19 points, and performed very well.
The number of turnovers between the two teams was 15:8, and the Bulls should be a better team, so after the loss, the fans felt very sorry.
James, who completed the lore, also saved some word of mouth, and the media praised wildly. The second player in the league is indeed amazing!
In another game, the Warriors won the game in a low-key manner, 115:109, and successfully won the match point, basically locking in the Western Conference finals.
Although the Rockets made another 43 free throws at home, their 58.1% free throw percentage made them lose another good game.
斯蒂芬-库里出场31分钟,18中7,三分线外13中6,罚球3中3,拿到23分,克莱21中9,拿到24分,格林14中9,砍下21分15篮板4助攻的两双数据。
三人合力,打爆了哈登和霍华德,胡子球手20中11,拿到28分11篮板9助攻4抢断5失误的数据,霍华德7中3,只拿到了7分13篮板。
The "Modden" combination of the two seemed to have failed. They failed to withstand the Warriors' projections and eventually lost two home games in a row.
The situation in the Western Conference has been completely clear, and the Warriors and Clippers will reach the Western Conference Finals.
On the night of the 11th, during the free interview time before the game, a lot of media surrounded Li Ze. As the Clippers were about to enter the Western Conference finals, the heat was getting higher and higher.
"Kayce, facing the Warriors, what do you think the team will do?"
ESPN reporter knocks Rockets and Spurs out early
Li Ze was in a good mood when he was about to enter the Western Conference Finals again. Faced with such a problem, he simply joked:
"It depends on the state of the Warriors. No matter what kind of defense they face, the Clippers can stabilize the score at 115 points. If I am in good shape, 120 points is not a problem."
"As for the situation on the defensive end, you also know that if the Warriors are in good form, then we will play harder. If the state fluctuates, then unfortunately, maybe the series will end soon!"
TNT reporters like to make things happen, and they seem to think that the topic is not hot enough, so they immediately followed up with questions:
"Kayce, what would you say about Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson in the backcourt?"
Li Ze shrugged his shoulders, and answered easily again:
"Stephen and I have known each other since college. We have always had a good personal relationship. When he first entered the league, he overcame an ankle injury. After a few years of depression, he finally realized his talent. He is an MVP-level player!"
"Klay was one of my best friends. We were inseparable in high school. Even because of his poor dribbling, I was forced to play the No. 1 position in high school."
"The Warriors are certainly strong in the backcourt, but they don't have enough experience! In comparison, they are rookies in the Western Conference Finals."
The reporters around laughed out loud when they heard Li Ze's words. The Warriors are rookies from top to bottom, so it's okay to say that they are rookies.
The media got the answer they wanted, and then they began to brag about each other. Before the game against the Spurs, the fastest-moving Yahoo Sports reporter came directly to an article:
""Sweeping Attack: The Rookie Warriors Can't Resist!""
Spurs fans felt neglected, and critics seemed to forget that the series wasn't over yet.
After the game started, everyone cheered enthusiastically, and at the end of halftime, the fans broke the defense again.
At 61:46, the Clippers' role players felt average and only led by 15 points at halftime.
The Spurs seem to be repeating the previous game, 21 in a single quarter, 25 in a single quarter, the offensive performance was sluggish, and the defensive end could not limit Li Ze.
Once the point difference passed 10 points, the Clippers did not overturn the ship.
In the commentary booth of TNT, Chris Webber and Reggie Miller discuss the structure of the Clippers:
"The super team is indeed Kayce's burden. During the Thunder period, there were Durant and Westbrook, and the Clippers also had Blake Griffin and Chris Paul."
"More helpers require Kayce to sacrifice part of the ball. You must know that his shooting percentage is close to 6%. In many cases, singles are the more efficient way to score."
Reggie Miller disagreed with Chris Webber and offered another point:
"But we all know that basketball is played by five players. In the playoffs, opponents will double-team Kayce. At this time, other players need to stand up."
"With a star teammate, he will play more easily. A super scorer also needs another organizer. It is difficult to compete for the championship by himself!"
Commentator Groom Albert saw Steve Ballmer in the front row tactically leaning back, celebrating the victory, and added:
"The Clippers don't care about the luxury tax issue. The current combination of the three is very stable. Are you all assuming that you are saving money for Mr. Ballmer?"
Thinking that the Clippers' salary ranks third in the league, Reggie Miller and Chris Webber immediately shook their heads with a smile:
"No luxury tax pressure! Maybe we have a chance to see the Clippers set more records!"
"."
After the end of the third quarter, the game completely lost suspense. At 3:91, the same script, the fourth quarter became garbage time.
Li Ze changed into his training uniform, sat comfortably on the bench and ate popcorn. The playing time of this game came to 30 minutes. It seemed that his brother was not there, but he played more easily.
19中13,三分线外5中3,罚球9中9,38分4篮板4助攻1抢断,没有失误。
For the use of super badges, Li Ze has also unlocked more methods, such as marking on the defensive end, squeezing through screens, assisting defense, running without the ball on the offensive end, and asking for the ball in the low post, etc., can all enjoy bonuses.
With the thought together, the super badge responds, and it will enter the state of metaphysics. Li Ze has already deeply realized the effect. The only flaw is that his physical fitness is not enough.
Turning his head and rushing to the trainer Tony who was sitting in the second row, he greeted:
"After we go back, let's discuss the issue of physical fitness!"
Trainer Tony was taken aback when he heard Li Ze's words:
"Kayce, fitness has never been an issue!"
Li Ze didn't speak, but just raised three fingers, indicating that his physical fitness must reach at least three overtime reserves.
"."
Seeing Jokic staring at the popcorn in his hand, Li Ze smiled at Fatty Bai, and continued eating alone:
"Be prepared, just in case you have to fight hard for three overtimes in the future!"
The Spurs fans did not leave the field, and persisted until the end of the game, 117:100, the battle of honor, narrowing the point difference to less than 20 points.
The scattered boos couldn't affect Paul's good mood. Since he hugged his thigh, he was impeccable in other aspects except that he couldn't reap the honor.
"Come on, Bro! Looking forward to our next fight!"
Paul smiled and hugged Duncan. The two belonged to Wake Forest University and had a good relationship.
On the other side, Li Ze was also comforting Leonard. Although he didn't speak on the court and rarely spoke to the media, Leonard talked a lot in private.
"There is always a lot of training before you achieve greatness. Keep polishing your skills and you will definitely become a superstar."
Leonard felt that his training was all made by Li Ze, so he drank this bowl of poisonous chicken soup depressed, and then consulted in a low voice:
"Is there any chance we can train together during the offseason?"
Hearing such a request, Li Ze remembered that the hometown in front of him is also Los Angeles:
"Of course, you are always welcome, come on, Bro!"
The Spurs' playoff journey is over. Compared with last year, this time they fell directly to the Western Conference semifinals.
In the press conference after the game, the reporters present not only crazily touted the Clippers, but also paid attention to Duncan's problem.
"I'll play for another two years to see what happens. I want to help the team complete the transition. Kawhi is ready."
After the loss, Duncan was very calm and gave clear answers to the reporters' questions.
After so many years in San Antonio, Duncan didn't want to see the Spurs sink after the team left the team.
The Clippers took the lead in reaching the Western Conference Finals and swept their opponents in two consecutive rounds.
All of America's sports reporters turned into Clippers that night, and even the title of the strongest team in history was moved out.
Another Hawks-Wizards game was almost unnoticed.
At 106:101, John Wall was injured, the Eagles seized the opportunity and successfully tied the big score at 2:2.
In the semi-finals of the Eastern Conference, both groups will have a battle of Tianwangshan.
On the morning of the 12th, the Clippers set off to return to Los Angeles, sweeping their opponents and giving them a week of rest.
On the 19th, G1 of the Western Conference Finals will officially start. If nothing else, their opponent will be the Warriors.
The regular season record can still explain some problems, 73 wins VS 67 wins, the two teams with the best results, and finally meet in the Western Conference Finals.
TNT, as the broadcaster, started warming up for the Western Conference finals after last night's game.
In the game that night, the Warriors did not live up to the expectations of the fans. After returning to the home court with 90:104, they easily defeated the Rockets, swept their opponents 4:1 and successfully entered the Western Conference Finals.
Although the Warriors made 29 of 9 three-pointers and only made 31% of their shots, Stephen Curry was 11 of 3 from beyond the three-point line, showing a mediocre performance, but the Rockets were even more stretched, and the bearded player was sluggish up.
出场43分钟,11中2,罚球13中10,14分6篮板5助攻3抢断12失误,哈登打出了尴尬两双,差点将火箭队球迷气炸了。
霍华德也没能展现出统治力,13中5,拿到18分16篮板2抢断4盖帽4失误,进攻端也跟着拉胯。
Coach McHale is speechless, these two are the core of the team's future?The future is bleak.
In the battle of Tianwangshan in the Eastern Conference semifinals, LeBron James broke out completely!
出场41分钟,24中14,砍下38分12篮板6助攻3抢断3盖帽,没有失误。
101:106, the Cavaliers successfully got the match point.
In such an important game, the leading star stepped forward, and the Cavaliers fans couldn't help but be happy. They are going to reach the Eastern Conference Finals again!
In addition to maintaining daily training, the Clippers returning to Los Angeles also have to cooperate with the NBA and the broadcaster Fox Sports to conduct simple promotional shooting.
This kind of link is very familiar to the Clippers. Everyone follows the steps and trains as usual.
The rookie Warriors were very excited after reaching the Western Conference Finals. Although Steve Kerr has repeatedly emphasized not to accept too many media interviews, it is difficult for players who have experienced big scenes for the first time to control themselves.
Draymond Green seems to feel that he is qualified to touch Li Ze. As the core of the Warriors, he reached the Western Conference Finals!
He is no longer a clown in the three-point contest, and he is no longer a spectator in the front row of the All-Star Game. In the division finals, Green has definitely become a big star himself!
Most of the pre-game short videos used by the NBA for publicity invite players to talk about their feelings about reaching the Western Conference Finals.
These short films will be used during timeouts, or played during halftime, so that fans can learn about their favorite stars.
The official promotional video will not raise the question of what to do, but TNT, as the broadcaster, naturally has the right to interview.
A reporter who is good at making things wanted to interview Leonard during the Western Conference semifinals. Unfortunately, the forward didn't say much to the media, lost the DPOY award, and finally just said lightly:
"Kayce is the better player, he's what I'm working on."
This kind of news has no explosive points. In contrast, Green is the big mouth of the Warriors. The TNT reporter will not give up this opportunity.
On the morning of the 13th, everyone in the Warriors completed the official shooting of the NBA League, and various sports media also followed up with interviews with the Warriors players.
Stephen Curry is surrounded by a circle of people. As the second place on the MVP candidate list this season and the core player of the Warriors, media reporters naturally favor Curry.
The TNT reporter specifically found the big-mouthed Green. As a counterattack second-round pick, Green enjoyed such moments very much.
"Green, we all know that you lost to the opponent in the DPOY selection this season. You are about to play against each other in the Western Conference Finals. Can you talk about your views on Kayce?"
After losing the Best Defensive Player award, Green was possessed by lemon essence, but Steve Kerr did not allow players to accept too many interviews, and he has not been able to find a channel to speak out.
Therefore, facing the interview with Tianti reporter this time, Green spoke freely and said confidently:
"I am very happy to play against the Clippers. Kayce has won 4 championships. He is a superstar in the league!"
"But this season, I'm the best defender in the league. The reporters who voted were biased. They probably thought that a 6-foot-7 player couldn't hit the paint."
"But this thing is over, I will prove myself again, the Warriors are a stronger team, rookie? Whatever you say!"
"We will double-team Kayce. I can switch to any position. I will freeze the Clippers' offense on the defensive end. They don't want to score easily. This year, the Warriors will win the championship!"
Draymond Green looked at the media around him, and the more he talked, the happier he was, this is the treatment of star players!He finally became a big star!
On the night of the 13th, Horford, who returned home, grabbed an offensive rebound 2 seconds before the end of the game, and finally made a tip-up to beat the Wizards.
At 81:82, it was difficult for the Eagles to win, but they still got the match point, and the situation in the Eastern Conference was completely clear. The two teams in the finals are likely to be the Cavaliers and the Eagles.
After a night of publicity, Green's big-mouthed remarks became popular. With Li Ze's continuous harvest of honors in the past few years, there are very few new players who talk big-mouthed.
Most of the players who played against Li Ze avoided media interviews. After all, it would be very embarrassing to talk big before the game and get slapped in the face after the game.
In this year's playoffs, the newcomer Anthony Davis had to show his talent before the game, but after the game, he was suspicious of his life. Fans have made a lot of Davis emoticons on Reddit these days
If you have the ability to beat Li Ze, pretend to be X and make noise before the game, the media will think that the player has personality, otherwise it will be a clown.
But after the interview was broadcast, Lezi fans were overjoyed, they like clowns!Green's interview ignites enthusiasm among fans
Li Ze didn't pay attention to the situation on social media. When he returned to Los Angeles, he discussed physical fitness with the training team.
This year is very important for the Clippers. Li Ze doesn't want to make 73 wins a joke. Therefore, except for interviews with the NBA and Fox Sports, everything else has been rejected.
On the morning of the 14th, during a routine interview with Fox Sports, a reporter naturally asked Li Ze about it, but Li Ze just laughed:
"Young players are always very confident! We speak with basketball."
"The only thing that can limit me is myself. God always favors people who work harder, so my shooting touch has never been a problem!"
"."
Changed to the Chinese media, they might have believed what Li Ze said, but as the local broadcaster of the Clippers, they never believed in the nonsense of hard work.
Both the NBA and the broadcasters are warming up for the Western Conference Finals. That night, the Cavaliers seized the opportunity and successfully eliminated the Bulls at 94:73, reaching the Eastern Conference Finals again.
角色球员出色发挥,外线三分如雨,勒布朗-詹姆斯出场41分钟,23中7,砍下15分9篮板11助攻2盖帽4失误。
The quasi-triple-double performance once again made the ball critics praise it!
The Bulls were robbed of the rebounds, 53:32, and the Cavaliers won with 21 rebounds and 16 offensive rebounds, making it difficult for them to lose.
On the night of the 15th, the Eagles also seized the opportunity, 94:91, defeated the Wizards with difficulty, eliminated their opponents with a big score of 4:2, and reached the Eastern Conference Finals.
The attention of this game is not high. After the two teams in the Eastern Conference Finals are determined, the critics also gave their predictions:
"Hawks don't stand a chance! LeBron James will make it to the Finals again!"
When it comes to the playoffs, everyone trusts the performance of superstars more, team basketball?high probability of failure
The time soon came to the 19th, and everyone on the Warriors who flew to Los Angeles long ago felt the atmosphere of the Western Conference Finals again.
Before the start of the game, a large number of media filmed their faces, free interviews in the locker room before the game, and even the role players received a lot of attention.
As a cute new team in the Western Conference Finals, everyone in the Warriors is a little bit flustered.
Media reporters also prefer the young Warriors, it's great to have a big mouth!Compared to the Spurs, where the three sticks couldn't make a fart in the past, these cute new players are much cuter!
Tickets for the Western Conference Finals were sold out long ago. Clippers fans came to the Staples Arena early that night. The Western Conference Finals was something everyone had been looking forward to for a long time.
Steve Kerr commented on Li Ze's game in the commentary booth of TNT. During a week, the coaching staff repeatedly analyzed and finally came to a conclusion:
"Teaming."
Let Li Ze play singles, perhaps more accurate than other Clippers players. This outrageous statistic, although unbelievable, did happen.
In the locker room of the visiting team before the game, Steve Kerr looked serious. In addition to repeatedly explaining tactics, he also kept reminding his players:
"You have no right to underestimate your opponents, strictly control your mistakes, and protect your rebounds!"
"I don't want to emphasize the second time again, don't make mistakes easily, and don't let your opponent score easily."
Everyone in the Warriors nodded excitedly, the big game, the newbies are excited!
In the Clippers locker room, after Li Ze completed his warm-up and returned to the locker room, he smiled and greeted his teammates with a fist bump. The Western Conference finals are all over, and everyone's goal is only to win the championship.
Except for Jokic and Ingles who felt novelty, the other players walked towards the player channel calmly.
Hearing the cheers from the fans, Li Ze raised his right hand, and everyone gathered together:
"Defense, rebounding, lesson to rookies tonight!"
Li Ze explained briefly, and finally everyone shouted in unison:
"Wan, spitting, breaking, logging tired!"
The two championship banners above the arena, coupled with the hot atmosphere on the scene, made the Warriors' newcomers yearn for it.
After the players from both sides finished playing, taking advantage of the final warm-up stage, on the TNT broadcast booth, Marv Albert briefly introduced the starting lineups of both sides:
"The Warriors continued their previous starting lineup, with Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson in the backcourt, Harrison Barnes and Draymond Green on the front line, and Andrew Bogut at center."
"Coach DeNagro still believes in this year's rookie big man, with Matt Barnes and Nikola Jokic on the front line and DeAndre Jordan at center."
Chris Webber briefly commented on the starting lineups of both sides:
"It's a wonderful matchup. The Clippers seem to have an advantage inside, but Green can also respond from the outside. In contrast, the Warriors have better offensive space."
Reggie Miller offered a different view:
"Stability is very important. The Clippers' scoring is more stable. This is a big problem for the Warriors. Once opportunities cannot be converted into goals, they will encounter trouble."
The three discussed for a while, but in the end they didn't make a prediction lightly. If the Warriors' outside touch exploded, they might really be able to blow up the Clippers.
When the referee signaled to the players on both sides to come to the center of the field, Jordan and Bogut were about to jump the ball.
"Let's go Clippers! Let's go Clippers! Let's go Clippers!"
The huge sound waves at the scene made everyone in the Warriors feel a little nervous.
The moment the ball was thrown, Jordan and Bogut touched the ball almost at the same time, and then the ball flew towards Harrison Barnes.
The latter was just about to catch the ball, but Li Ze jumped out suddenly, and jumped up to touch the ball before the opponent could catch it.
Everyone in the Warriors had just reacted, and Li Ze had already taken a big step forward, approaching the three-point line, and Harrison Barnes desperately chased and defended.
Amidst the cheers of the Clippers fans, Li Ze easily caught the ball. Just one step past the free throw line, he jumped with both feet, quickly vacated, stretched his body, and succeeded in folding dunks!
"Oh!!"
Clippers fans cheered again, scoring lightning fast!
Steve Kerr next to him saw that his team members were still in a daze, so he immediately clapped his hands and reminded loudly:
"Hey! Focus!"
Li Ze, who completed the dunk, took small steps, retreated quickly, adjusted his armguards by the way, stood outside the three-point line, clapped his hands, and reminded his teammates:
"Pay attention to the opponent's cover!"
The referee didn't bother about which side succeeded in jumping the ball. Just leave this question to watch the replay before the holiday, and signaled the Warriors to serve from the bottom line.
Stephen Curry breathed a sigh of relief, of course he also wanted to prove himself, quickly dribbled across half court, and immediately gave the ball to Bogut at the top of the arc.
Noticing that Paul was sticking to his side, he swayed briefly and then ran back suddenly, speeding up and cutting in from the middle!
The Clippers' inside line was pulled close to the three-point line, and the three-second zone was empty.
When the ball arrived, Curry just received a pass and wanted to use his speed to get rid of Paul, but was knocked to the ground in the next second.
"squeak!"
The referee called the foul immediately, and Paul didn't care, he just wanted to set the tone for the game.
Steve Kerr stood on the sidelines and subconsciously rubbed his eyebrows:
"The game seems to be worse than expected"
Thank you for your subscription support~
The data of the protagonist of this round of competition,
In fact, referring to the highlight performance of Brother Kazi playing against the Clippers back then,
29 minutes, 18 of 13, 5 of 3 from outside, 3 of 3 free throws,
32分4篮板1助攻3抢断2盖帽1失误,
When I watched G3 back then, I felt like a god descended to earth!
In contrast, now is really the era of data explosion-. -
(End of this chapter)
Many players can perform well in the playoffs, and it is not a problem to shoot 7% of the field goals in a game!
But most of the shooting percentages are conservative in character. If you played well in the last game, you may suddenly pull your hips in the next game.
在14~15赛季的季后赛中,斯蒂芬-库里可能上一场比赛三分线外11中2,下一场比赛就9中7
For an outside player, this phenomenon is very common. In the case of a large number of shots, the shooting percentage of most players will decrease.
Of course, there are also players who break this law. In the 90s, Michael Jordan often threw more and more accurately, increasing the number of shots without reducing efficiency.
However, America's new fans have never seen Jordan play live, so when Li Ze appeared, the new fans were shocked.
Fans of the Grizzlies, Spurs, and Heat have the deepest experience, while fans in Los Angeles are completely used to it.
In Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals, at the AT Center Arena, the Spurs fans had long lost their temper. They lost 24 points at halftime, and the third quarter of the game can be regarded as garbage time.
There was no booing at the scene, and the broken fans even cheered for Li Ze's goal, and booed their own straddle core by the way.
With 3 minutes and 3 seconds left in the third quarter, Leonard used Duncan's cover to break through the middle with the ball in his left hand. Feeling the defensive pressure on his side, he took the initiative to exert force near the free throw line, leaned against Li Ze, and then retreated laterally. .
The ideal shooting space did not appear, but Li Ze seized the opportunity to further defend, and directly let Leonard stop the ball at the left elbow of the free throw line.
"shush"
There were sporadic boos at the scene again. This is not the first time this has happened. Throughout the game, Leonard rarely succeeded in singles.
The Clippers' defense did not relax. After Li Ze completed the pressure on Leonard, others also began to guard against receiving the ball.
Parker got rid of Paul twice in a row from beyond the three-point line, and Leonard was forced to protect the ball, and he couldn't even find a good passing route.
Seeing that there was not much time left in the attack, he could barely throw the ball to Parker who was outside the three-point line. The latter resisted Paul's defense and forced a three-pointer.
The long rebound fell into Li Ze's arms, and Leonard became more and more frustrated. The team was still giving him the ball, but unfortunately, he couldn't take on the heavy responsibility of scoring.
"Shhh!!"
88:58, the huge point difference of 30 points made it difficult for Spurs fans to accept. According to the team's current scoring trend, 3 points can be scored in the third quarter.
The pace of the Clippers has also completely slowed down. The Spurs' defense was tough for more than 3 minutes in the third quarter. They double-teamed Li Ze crazily, and then they were beaten more and less. After continuing to expand the point difference, they stopped completely. dish.
The boos from the fans did not affect Leonard. He was frustrated, but he was still focused on the defensive end, but the rest of the Spurs didn't have this emotion.
Paul didn't catch the ball either, and the left flank was far away from the three-point line, signaling Barnes in the right corner to slip to the bottom line to open up space for Li Ze to attack.
Jordan stands depressed on the left side near the baseline. Although he has better physical fitness, the Spurs always foul him. Therefore, after missing a few free throws, Jokic's pick-and-roll work becomes Jokic's job. .
The Clippers quickly cleared one side, and Li Ze realized that there was no double-team in this round. When the left wing was close to the three-point line, he held the ball with his left hand and protected the ball with his back.
Leonard didn't think about any defensive strategy at this time. He kept interfering with the ball. At the moment when the opponent cut the ball with his right hand, Li Ze suddenly lowered his center of gravity. The right hand protecting the ball swept away Leonard's arm, and suddenly turned around and accelerated. .
Quickly adjusting the defensive focus, Leonard slid back to the right desperately. Seeing that the opponent had just retreated within the three-point line, Li Ze took a big step and suddenly made a large cross step to dribble back.
Get rid of the defense for a short time, do not make adjustments outside the three-point line, and quickly combine the ball to shoot a jumper!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!
The AT Center arena was silent for a moment. The Spurs fans watched Li Ze raise his right hand and raised three fingers. They were all silent. Only a small number of Li Ze's fans cheered loudly.
"Shut up!"
The Spurs fans who broke through the defense found a traitor in their home court, and immediately shouted at the cheering audience.
The two sides quickly changed from scolding to physical entanglement. As soon as Li Ze retreated to halftime, the referee stopped the game and the fans started fighting
Jokic's two older brothers were still cheering loudly in the front row, and even wanted to join in the fun. For a while, it was more lively outside the court than on the court.
In the commentary seat of TNT, Chris Webber also laughed when he saw this situation:
"I thought Kayce would be the least popular person in San Antonio. It seems that I still underestimated the charm of MVP."
Reggie Miller glanced at the stats, then smiled and said:
"Miami fans will never forgive Kayce, 4 championships, the away locker room at the American Airlines Center, and maybe the smell of champagne now!"
The game was forced to suspend, and the Spurs bench was silent. Popovich waved his hand and signaled the atmosphere team to come on the stage. There was more than two minutes left, so there was no need to continue. The fans saw through the defense.
Coach De Nagro saw the Spurs' movements and immediately patted Li Ze on the shoulder:
"It's time to rest, Kayce! Enjoy your victory."
Tyronn Lu on the side looked at the technical statistics in his hand, and he had a lemon in his heart. There may be only one difference between him and the champion coach, Li Ze.
出场28分钟,21中15,三分线外4中3,罚球8中8,41分6篮板4助攻2抢断1盖帽1失误。
With such data, any coach would feel sour after reading it, so what tactics should they use?Give the ball to the thigh and it's over
What surprised Tyronn Lue the most is that Li Ze, who is off the ball, is handling the ball faster and faster. In many cases, he throws it in 3 seconds. Attacked.
When Reggie Miller saw that Li Ze had already put on his training uniform, he cried out inwardly that it was a pity, and then said again:
"Normal rotation, playing 4 minutes in the fourth quarter, Kayce's data will definitely increase by 9 points, 10 minutes of playing time is too little."
The commentator Marv Albert didn't care about the statistics anymore. Thinking that the big score was already 3:0, he immediately brought up another topic:
"With 15 wins and 1 loss, the Clippers have a chance to replicate the achievements of the Lakers. Allen Iverson made the mighty Lakers lose a game. I hope to see another Iverson appear."
Chris Webber doesn't like the Lakers, but the old-school players are usually thick and thin, and he took the conversation firmly:
"There will never be another Iverson, the game is too soft now, the Clippers have a chance to break the record!"
When the game resumed, both sides took the atmosphere group, the overall situation was set, and the fourth quarter became garbage time.
Jokic also enjoyed the treatment of the main force, sitting off the court and watching the data.
7中4,罚球4中4,12分7篮板3助攻1抢断2失误。
Jokic felt a little regretful that he failed to get a double-double, only 3 rebounds short.
Paul was very happy, the series was 3:0, and he didn't have to go back to Los Angeles for the semifinals. In addition, tonight's statistics were also very good, and the matter of Griffin's injury was directly thrown to the back of his mind.
14中8,其中三分球2中1,罚球6中6,23分3篮板12助攻1抢断1失误,再次打出超过5成的命中率,保罗非常满意。
In contrast, Leonard is autistic. In the past few games, his number of shots has been ranked first on the team. Tonight, he made 15 of 3 and only scored 10 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 turnovers. .
After singles, most of the times he was forced to stop the ball. Facing Li Ze's single defense, it was difficult to catch the ball in the sweet spot.
Every time he meets Li Ze, Leonard will finally break the defense, cover his head with his hands in a towel, this is not the first time a Spurs player has seen such a scene.
In the past few years, every time he played against Li Ze in the playoffs, the taciturn new core would be depressed for a while.
The game progressed quickly, and Popovich was not in the mood to ask for a timeout. The bad old man doubted whether the team's transformation was correct. Now Leonard looks difficult to take on the big task.
Amidst the boos of the Spurs fans, the game officially ended. At 128:98, the Clippers beat their opponents again and easily got the match point!
The sports media on the scene started tweeting as early as halftime. Once the game ended, most of his social media were:
"Clipper Nation! (Clipper Nation!)"
After the Warriors beat the Rockets, the Clippers also responded by beating the Spurs. Griffin's injury once again reminded critics of Li Ze in 13 years.
After another two seasons, Li Ze's condition seems to be even better. Among the remaining teams in the playoffs, perhaps only LeBron James' game experience can surpass Li Ze.
Thinking of this, everyone realized that the Clippers' remaining opponents were all rookies!
All of a sudden, all the media became staunch Clippers fans:
"Clippers Championship!"
At the press conference after the game, the reporters present only cared about helping the Clippers loan the championship and bragging about each other following the business.
As for the Spurs, no one cares, Duncan is completely dead, Leonard?Defensive engineers!
After the other game of the night, it finally took away some of the Clippers' traffic.
At 101:103, the Wizards returned to the home court to kill the opponent at the last moment, and the series score came to 2:1.
The Eagles lost the game in an upset, Paul Pierce made a big heart lore, and the fans of the Wizards were crazy. They had a chance to reach the Eastern Conference Finals.
The regular season has a record of 60 wins, but the playoffs have not shown any dominance. Regarding this situation, the critics will not show mercy:
"The playoffs are a stage for superstars, and the Eagles lack a real core!"
In addition to the ecstasy of the Wizards fans, most fans are still discussing whether the Clippers can break the Lakers' playoff record.
Although Warriors fans firmly believe that the team will win the championship, they cannot refute in the face of doubts:
"The three All-Stars James, Wade, and Bosh were unable to win the Clippers in 13 years. The Warriors failed to prove themselves in the playoffs"
The Clippers' overly strong performance made many players fall for lemons.
Not long ago, the NBA announced the best rookie of the 14-15 season, Maple Leaf Jordan Andrew Wiggins successfully won the award.
场均16.9分4.6篮板2.1助攻1.0抢断0.6盖帽2.2失误,投篮命中率为43.7%,三分球命中率为31.0%。
The data is quite satisfactory, but Wiggins, who won the award, is still very happy, which can be regarded as the initial recognition of the league.
But not long after he was happy, Wiggins found that his best rookie was not popular. The fans were discussing the Clippers, and the media were praising Li Ze.
No one cared about him as the best rookie at all, and even the other four players with the best rookie team didn't have any enthusiasm:
Nikola Mirotic, Nerlens Noel, Elfrid Payton, Jordan Clarkson.
The other 4 players in the first team of the best rookies didn't even splash the water. After the announcement of the league, the media and fans didn't respond, and they just forgot about it.
On the night of May 5th, LeBron James once again aroused heated discussions among fans!
In the last 2 seconds before the end of the game, the sideline kick was taken, James received a pass from Dellavedova, and made a mid-range jumper from the left corner, killing the Bulls!
At 86:84, the big score of the series came to 2:2, the Cavaliers struggled to regain the initiative, and the battle of Tianwangshan will return to Cleveland.
出场43分钟,30中10,砍下25分14篮板8助攻1抢断2盖帽8失误。
Although the efficiency was not high, LeBron James managed to stand up and lead the Cavaliers to move forward when the whole team was misfired.
Mengxin Irving played 41 minutes, 10 of 2, scored 12 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals. Facing the Bulls' defense, he lost again.
After the baptism of the playoffs, Irving also put away his pride. LeBron James is indeed better than him. After the lore, Irving finally let go of his prejudice.
德里克-罗斯最近状态出色,23中11,砍下31分2篮板4助攻2失误的数据。
Jimmy Butler, who just won the Most Improved Player (MIP), played 45 minutes, scored 21 of 8, scored 19 points, and performed very well.
The number of turnovers between the two teams was 15:8, and the Bulls should be a better team, so after the loss, the fans felt very sorry.
James, who completed the lore, also saved some word of mouth, and the media praised wildly. The second player in the league is indeed amazing!
In another game, the Warriors won the game in a low-key manner, 115:109, and successfully won the match point, basically locking in the Western Conference finals.
Although the Rockets made another 43 free throws at home, their 58.1% free throw percentage made them lose another good game.
斯蒂芬-库里出场31分钟,18中7,三分线外13中6,罚球3中3,拿到23分,克莱21中9,拿到24分,格林14中9,砍下21分15篮板4助攻的两双数据。
三人合力,打爆了哈登和霍华德,胡子球手20中11,拿到28分11篮板9助攻4抢断5失误的数据,霍华德7中3,只拿到了7分13篮板。
The "Modden" combination of the two seemed to have failed. They failed to withstand the Warriors' projections and eventually lost two home games in a row.
The situation in the Western Conference has been completely clear, and the Warriors and Clippers will reach the Western Conference Finals.
On the night of the 11th, during the free interview time before the game, a lot of media surrounded Li Ze. As the Clippers were about to enter the Western Conference finals, the heat was getting higher and higher.
"Kayce, facing the Warriors, what do you think the team will do?"
ESPN reporter knocks Rockets and Spurs out early
Li Ze was in a good mood when he was about to enter the Western Conference Finals again. Faced with such a problem, he simply joked:
"It depends on the state of the Warriors. No matter what kind of defense they face, the Clippers can stabilize the score at 115 points. If I am in good shape, 120 points is not a problem."
"As for the situation on the defensive end, you also know that if the Warriors are in good form, then we will play harder. If the state fluctuates, then unfortunately, maybe the series will end soon!"
TNT reporters like to make things happen, and they seem to think that the topic is not hot enough, so they immediately followed up with questions:
"Kayce, what would you say about Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson in the backcourt?"
Li Ze shrugged his shoulders, and answered easily again:
"Stephen and I have known each other since college. We have always had a good personal relationship. When he first entered the league, he overcame an ankle injury. After a few years of depression, he finally realized his talent. He is an MVP-level player!"
"Klay was one of my best friends. We were inseparable in high school. Even because of his poor dribbling, I was forced to play the No. 1 position in high school."
"The Warriors are certainly strong in the backcourt, but they don't have enough experience! In comparison, they are rookies in the Western Conference Finals."
The reporters around laughed out loud when they heard Li Ze's words. The Warriors are rookies from top to bottom, so it's okay to say that they are rookies.
The media got the answer they wanted, and then they began to brag about each other. Before the game against the Spurs, the fastest-moving Yahoo Sports reporter came directly to an article:
""Sweeping Attack: The Rookie Warriors Can't Resist!""
Spurs fans felt neglected, and critics seemed to forget that the series wasn't over yet.
After the game started, everyone cheered enthusiastically, and at the end of halftime, the fans broke the defense again.
At 61:46, the Clippers' role players felt average and only led by 15 points at halftime.
The Spurs seem to be repeating the previous game, 21 in a single quarter, 25 in a single quarter, the offensive performance was sluggish, and the defensive end could not limit Li Ze.
Once the point difference passed 10 points, the Clippers did not overturn the ship.
In the commentary booth of TNT, Chris Webber and Reggie Miller discuss the structure of the Clippers:
"The super team is indeed Kayce's burden. During the Thunder period, there were Durant and Westbrook, and the Clippers also had Blake Griffin and Chris Paul."
"More helpers require Kayce to sacrifice part of the ball. You must know that his shooting percentage is close to 6%. In many cases, singles are the more efficient way to score."
Reggie Miller disagreed with Chris Webber and offered another point:
"But we all know that basketball is played by five players. In the playoffs, opponents will double-team Kayce. At this time, other players need to stand up."
"With a star teammate, he will play more easily. A super scorer also needs another organizer. It is difficult to compete for the championship by himself!"
Commentator Groom Albert saw Steve Ballmer in the front row tactically leaning back, celebrating the victory, and added:
"The Clippers don't care about the luxury tax issue. The current combination of the three is very stable. Are you all assuming that you are saving money for Mr. Ballmer?"
Thinking that the Clippers' salary ranks third in the league, Reggie Miller and Chris Webber immediately shook their heads with a smile:
"No luxury tax pressure! Maybe we have a chance to see the Clippers set more records!"
"."
After the end of the third quarter, the game completely lost suspense. At 3:91, the same script, the fourth quarter became garbage time.
Li Ze changed into his training uniform, sat comfortably on the bench and ate popcorn. The playing time of this game came to 30 minutes. It seemed that his brother was not there, but he played more easily.
19中13,三分线外5中3,罚球9中9,38分4篮板4助攻1抢断,没有失误。
For the use of super badges, Li Ze has also unlocked more methods, such as marking on the defensive end, squeezing through screens, assisting defense, running without the ball on the offensive end, and asking for the ball in the low post, etc., can all enjoy bonuses.
With the thought together, the super badge responds, and it will enter the state of metaphysics. Li Ze has already deeply realized the effect. The only flaw is that his physical fitness is not enough.
Turning his head and rushing to the trainer Tony who was sitting in the second row, he greeted:
"After we go back, let's discuss the issue of physical fitness!"
Trainer Tony was taken aback when he heard Li Ze's words:
"Kayce, fitness has never been an issue!"
Li Ze didn't speak, but just raised three fingers, indicating that his physical fitness must reach at least three overtime reserves.
"."
Seeing Jokic staring at the popcorn in his hand, Li Ze smiled at Fatty Bai, and continued eating alone:
"Be prepared, just in case you have to fight hard for three overtimes in the future!"
The Spurs fans did not leave the field, and persisted until the end of the game, 117:100, the battle of honor, narrowing the point difference to less than 20 points.
The scattered boos couldn't affect Paul's good mood. Since he hugged his thigh, he was impeccable in other aspects except that he couldn't reap the honor.
"Come on, Bro! Looking forward to our next fight!"
Paul smiled and hugged Duncan. The two belonged to Wake Forest University and had a good relationship.
On the other side, Li Ze was also comforting Leonard. Although he didn't speak on the court and rarely spoke to the media, Leonard talked a lot in private.
"There is always a lot of training before you achieve greatness. Keep polishing your skills and you will definitely become a superstar."
Leonard felt that his training was all made by Li Ze, so he drank this bowl of poisonous chicken soup depressed, and then consulted in a low voice:
"Is there any chance we can train together during the offseason?"
Hearing such a request, Li Ze remembered that the hometown in front of him is also Los Angeles:
"Of course, you are always welcome, come on, Bro!"
The Spurs' playoff journey is over. Compared with last year, this time they fell directly to the Western Conference semifinals.
In the press conference after the game, the reporters present not only crazily touted the Clippers, but also paid attention to Duncan's problem.
"I'll play for another two years to see what happens. I want to help the team complete the transition. Kawhi is ready."
After the loss, Duncan was very calm and gave clear answers to the reporters' questions.
After so many years in San Antonio, Duncan didn't want to see the Spurs sink after the team left the team.
The Clippers took the lead in reaching the Western Conference Finals and swept their opponents in two consecutive rounds.
All of America's sports reporters turned into Clippers that night, and even the title of the strongest team in history was moved out.
Another Hawks-Wizards game was almost unnoticed.
At 106:101, John Wall was injured, the Eagles seized the opportunity and successfully tied the big score at 2:2.
In the semi-finals of the Eastern Conference, both groups will have a battle of Tianwangshan.
On the morning of the 12th, the Clippers set off to return to Los Angeles, sweeping their opponents and giving them a week of rest.
On the 19th, G1 of the Western Conference Finals will officially start. If nothing else, their opponent will be the Warriors.
The regular season record can still explain some problems, 73 wins VS 67 wins, the two teams with the best results, and finally meet in the Western Conference Finals.
TNT, as the broadcaster, started warming up for the Western Conference finals after last night's game.
In the game that night, the Warriors did not live up to the expectations of the fans. After returning to the home court with 90:104, they easily defeated the Rockets, swept their opponents 4:1 and successfully entered the Western Conference Finals.
Although the Warriors made 29 of 9 three-pointers and only made 31% of their shots, Stephen Curry was 11 of 3 from beyond the three-point line, showing a mediocre performance, but the Rockets were even more stretched, and the bearded player was sluggish up.
出场43分钟,11中2,罚球13中10,14分6篮板5助攻3抢断12失误,哈登打出了尴尬两双,差点将火箭队球迷气炸了。
霍华德也没能展现出统治力,13中5,拿到18分16篮板2抢断4盖帽4失误,进攻端也跟着拉胯。
Coach McHale is speechless, these two are the core of the team's future?The future is bleak.
In the battle of Tianwangshan in the Eastern Conference semifinals, LeBron James broke out completely!
出场41分钟,24中14,砍下38分12篮板6助攻3抢断3盖帽,没有失误。
101:106, the Cavaliers successfully got the match point.
In such an important game, the leading star stepped forward, and the Cavaliers fans couldn't help but be happy. They are going to reach the Eastern Conference Finals again!
In addition to maintaining daily training, the Clippers returning to Los Angeles also have to cooperate with the NBA and the broadcaster Fox Sports to conduct simple promotional shooting.
This kind of link is very familiar to the Clippers. Everyone follows the steps and trains as usual.
The rookie Warriors were very excited after reaching the Western Conference Finals. Although Steve Kerr has repeatedly emphasized not to accept too many media interviews, it is difficult for players who have experienced big scenes for the first time to control themselves.
Draymond Green seems to feel that he is qualified to touch Li Ze. As the core of the Warriors, he reached the Western Conference Finals!
He is no longer a clown in the three-point contest, and he is no longer a spectator in the front row of the All-Star Game. In the division finals, Green has definitely become a big star himself!
Most of the pre-game short videos used by the NBA for publicity invite players to talk about their feelings about reaching the Western Conference Finals.
These short films will be used during timeouts, or played during halftime, so that fans can learn about their favorite stars.
The official promotional video will not raise the question of what to do, but TNT, as the broadcaster, naturally has the right to interview.
A reporter who is good at making things wanted to interview Leonard during the Western Conference semifinals. Unfortunately, the forward didn't say much to the media, lost the DPOY award, and finally just said lightly:
"Kayce is the better player, he's what I'm working on."
This kind of news has no explosive points. In contrast, Green is the big mouth of the Warriors. The TNT reporter will not give up this opportunity.
On the morning of the 13th, everyone in the Warriors completed the official shooting of the NBA League, and various sports media also followed up with interviews with the Warriors players.
Stephen Curry is surrounded by a circle of people. As the second place on the MVP candidate list this season and the core player of the Warriors, media reporters naturally favor Curry.
The TNT reporter specifically found the big-mouthed Green. As a counterattack second-round pick, Green enjoyed such moments very much.
"Green, we all know that you lost to the opponent in the DPOY selection this season. You are about to play against each other in the Western Conference Finals. Can you talk about your views on Kayce?"
After losing the Best Defensive Player award, Green was possessed by lemon essence, but Steve Kerr did not allow players to accept too many interviews, and he has not been able to find a channel to speak out.
Therefore, facing the interview with Tianti reporter this time, Green spoke freely and said confidently:
"I am very happy to play against the Clippers. Kayce has won 4 championships. He is a superstar in the league!"
"But this season, I'm the best defender in the league. The reporters who voted were biased. They probably thought that a 6-foot-7 player couldn't hit the paint."
"But this thing is over, I will prove myself again, the Warriors are a stronger team, rookie? Whatever you say!"
"We will double-team Kayce. I can switch to any position. I will freeze the Clippers' offense on the defensive end. They don't want to score easily. This year, the Warriors will win the championship!"
Draymond Green looked at the media around him, and the more he talked, the happier he was, this is the treatment of star players!He finally became a big star!
On the night of the 13th, Horford, who returned home, grabbed an offensive rebound 2 seconds before the end of the game, and finally made a tip-up to beat the Wizards.
At 81:82, it was difficult for the Eagles to win, but they still got the match point, and the situation in the Eastern Conference was completely clear. The two teams in the finals are likely to be the Cavaliers and the Eagles.
After a night of publicity, Green's big-mouthed remarks became popular. With Li Ze's continuous harvest of honors in the past few years, there are very few new players who talk big-mouthed.
Most of the players who played against Li Ze avoided media interviews. After all, it would be very embarrassing to talk big before the game and get slapped in the face after the game.
In this year's playoffs, the newcomer Anthony Davis had to show his talent before the game, but after the game, he was suspicious of his life. Fans have made a lot of Davis emoticons on Reddit these days
If you have the ability to beat Li Ze, pretend to be X and make noise before the game, the media will think that the player has personality, otherwise it will be a clown.
But after the interview was broadcast, Lezi fans were overjoyed, they like clowns!Green's interview ignites enthusiasm among fans
Li Ze didn't pay attention to the situation on social media. When he returned to Los Angeles, he discussed physical fitness with the training team.
This year is very important for the Clippers. Li Ze doesn't want to make 73 wins a joke. Therefore, except for interviews with the NBA and Fox Sports, everything else has been rejected.
On the morning of the 14th, during a routine interview with Fox Sports, a reporter naturally asked Li Ze about it, but Li Ze just laughed:
"Young players are always very confident! We speak with basketball."
"The only thing that can limit me is myself. God always favors people who work harder, so my shooting touch has never been a problem!"
"."
Changed to the Chinese media, they might have believed what Li Ze said, but as the local broadcaster of the Clippers, they never believed in the nonsense of hard work.
Both the NBA and the broadcasters are warming up for the Western Conference Finals. That night, the Cavaliers seized the opportunity and successfully eliminated the Bulls at 94:73, reaching the Eastern Conference Finals again.
角色球员出色发挥,外线三分如雨,勒布朗-詹姆斯出场41分钟,23中7,砍下15分9篮板11助攻2盖帽4失误。
The quasi-triple-double performance once again made the ball critics praise it!
The Bulls were robbed of the rebounds, 53:32, and the Cavaliers won with 21 rebounds and 16 offensive rebounds, making it difficult for them to lose.
On the night of the 15th, the Eagles also seized the opportunity, 94:91, defeated the Wizards with difficulty, eliminated their opponents with a big score of 4:2, and reached the Eastern Conference Finals.
The attention of this game is not high. After the two teams in the Eastern Conference Finals are determined, the critics also gave their predictions:
"Hawks don't stand a chance! LeBron James will make it to the Finals again!"
When it comes to the playoffs, everyone trusts the performance of superstars more, team basketball?high probability of failure
The time soon came to the 19th, and everyone on the Warriors who flew to Los Angeles long ago felt the atmosphere of the Western Conference Finals again.
Before the start of the game, a large number of media filmed their faces, free interviews in the locker room before the game, and even the role players received a lot of attention.
As a cute new team in the Western Conference Finals, everyone in the Warriors is a little bit flustered.
Media reporters also prefer the young Warriors, it's great to have a big mouth!Compared to the Spurs, where the three sticks couldn't make a fart in the past, these cute new players are much cuter!
Tickets for the Western Conference Finals were sold out long ago. Clippers fans came to the Staples Arena early that night. The Western Conference Finals was something everyone had been looking forward to for a long time.
Steve Kerr commented on Li Ze's game in the commentary booth of TNT. During a week, the coaching staff repeatedly analyzed and finally came to a conclusion:
"Teaming."
Let Li Ze play singles, perhaps more accurate than other Clippers players. This outrageous statistic, although unbelievable, did happen.
In the locker room of the visiting team before the game, Steve Kerr looked serious. In addition to repeatedly explaining tactics, he also kept reminding his players:
"You have no right to underestimate your opponents, strictly control your mistakes, and protect your rebounds!"
"I don't want to emphasize the second time again, don't make mistakes easily, and don't let your opponent score easily."
Everyone in the Warriors nodded excitedly, the big game, the newbies are excited!
In the Clippers locker room, after Li Ze completed his warm-up and returned to the locker room, he smiled and greeted his teammates with a fist bump. The Western Conference finals are all over, and everyone's goal is only to win the championship.
Except for Jokic and Ingles who felt novelty, the other players walked towards the player channel calmly.
Hearing the cheers from the fans, Li Ze raised his right hand, and everyone gathered together:
"Defense, rebounding, lesson to rookies tonight!"
Li Ze explained briefly, and finally everyone shouted in unison:
"Wan, spitting, breaking, logging tired!"
The two championship banners above the arena, coupled with the hot atmosphere on the scene, made the Warriors' newcomers yearn for it.
After the players from both sides finished playing, taking advantage of the final warm-up stage, on the TNT broadcast booth, Marv Albert briefly introduced the starting lineups of both sides:
"The Warriors continued their previous starting lineup, with Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson in the backcourt, Harrison Barnes and Draymond Green on the front line, and Andrew Bogut at center."
"Coach DeNagro still believes in this year's rookie big man, with Matt Barnes and Nikola Jokic on the front line and DeAndre Jordan at center."
Chris Webber briefly commented on the starting lineups of both sides:
"It's a wonderful matchup. The Clippers seem to have an advantage inside, but Green can also respond from the outside. In contrast, the Warriors have better offensive space."
Reggie Miller offered a different view:
"Stability is very important. The Clippers' scoring is more stable. This is a big problem for the Warriors. Once opportunities cannot be converted into goals, they will encounter trouble."
The three discussed for a while, but in the end they didn't make a prediction lightly. If the Warriors' outside touch exploded, they might really be able to blow up the Clippers.
When the referee signaled to the players on both sides to come to the center of the field, Jordan and Bogut were about to jump the ball.
"Let's go Clippers! Let's go Clippers! Let's go Clippers!"
The huge sound waves at the scene made everyone in the Warriors feel a little nervous.
The moment the ball was thrown, Jordan and Bogut touched the ball almost at the same time, and then the ball flew towards Harrison Barnes.
The latter was just about to catch the ball, but Li Ze jumped out suddenly, and jumped up to touch the ball before the opponent could catch it.
Everyone in the Warriors had just reacted, and Li Ze had already taken a big step forward, approaching the three-point line, and Harrison Barnes desperately chased and defended.
Amidst the cheers of the Clippers fans, Li Ze easily caught the ball. Just one step past the free throw line, he jumped with both feet, quickly vacated, stretched his body, and succeeded in folding dunks!
"Oh!!"
Clippers fans cheered again, scoring lightning fast!
Steve Kerr next to him saw that his team members were still in a daze, so he immediately clapped his hands and reminded loudly:
"Hey! Focus!"
Li Ze, who completed the dunk, took small steps, retreated quickly, adjusted his armguards by the way, stood outside the three-point line, clapped his hands, and reminded his teammates:
"Pay attention to the opponent's cover!"
The referee didn't bother about which side succeeded in jumping the ball. Just leave this question to watch the replay before the holiday, and signaled the Warriors to serve from the bottom line.
Stephen Curry breathed a sigh of relief, of course he also wanted to prove himself, quickly dribbled across half court, and immediately gave the ball to Bogut at the top of the arc.
Noticing that Paul was sticking to his side, he swayed briefly and then ran back suddenly, speeding up and cutting in from the middle!
The Clippers' inside line was pulled close to the three-point line, and the three-second zone was empty.
When the ball arrived, Curry just received a pass and wanted to use his speed to get rid of Paul, but was knocked to the ground in the next second.
"squeak!"
The referee called the foul immediately, and Paul didn't care, he just wanted to set the tone for the game.
Steve Kerr stood on the sidelines and subconsciously rubbed his eyebrows:
"The game seems to be worse than expected"
