【Chapter 1010】 Sweep to Advance (Ask for Subscription!)

After entering May, the international sports world has entered the hottest season, which is the carnival of sports fans, but also the season of suffering and harvesting for players and team owners.

The Monte Carlo, Madrid and Rome Masters heralded the culmination of the clay-court tennis tournament, followed by Wimbledon, and the tennis feast was on the horizon. After winning the Australian Open, he is moving towards a better version of himself, and whether Federer can return to the top and whether Nadal can defend his glory as the 'King of Clay' is waiting to be seen by fans around the world.

In addition to tennis, the UEFA Europa League is also coming to an end, with the UEFA Cup deciding the two teams in the final, and the Champions League semi-finals to be held in May, with the winner meeting San Siro (Meazza) on 28 May for the highest honour in European football.

In addition, the competition for leagues in various European countries has also entered the final stage, whether it is winning the championship, Champions League places, European qualification or relegation places, which has made countless fans and sponsors crazy.

Of course, the NBA playoffs in full swing on the North American continent have also attracted a lot of attention, especially this year's NBA has the most special Lakers, which makes it even more interesting.

This year, the ratings of the NBA playoffs far exceeded those of previous years, with Greater China and England having the largest increases, which also reflected Xiao Feng's huge influence.

…………

The Lakers swept the Trail Blazers early and 4-0 and returned to Los Angeles to await the outcome of the game between the Clippers and Thunder, who were tied in the first four games and then had a home-court advantage over the Thunder, who finished fourth in the regular season.

The strength of the two teams is not much different, in terms of staffing, the Clippers have Jordan Jr., Griffin and Paul, and the Thunder's Durant and Westbrook are also a strong combination in the league.

The scores of the two teams in the first four games show that the gap between the two sides is extremely subtle. The competition on the field is extremely intense, and perhaps if you want to reach the semi-finals, you will have to be bruised all over your body.

As opponents, Xiao Feng and Kobe Bryant are naturally happy to see it happen, after all, waiting for work with ease is something that everyone dreams of.

We still have to wait for the opponent to come out, and the Lakers' soldiers will have to do it in addition to the necessary training. Most of the time is spent at home, enjoying family fun.

For the players who have been playing for half a year, there is not much time to spend with their families and children, so they naturally cherish it.

During this time, although the children can often see their father's high-spirited appearance on the court, the interaction with their father is too little, and as soon as Xiao Feng rests at home, they stick to him.

In the past two days, Xiao Feng has become the king of children at home. Every day, I take the children to ride horses in the pony field, play football on the football field, and take turns telling them stories in the evenings.

The family is happy together, and the happiest are the old people, after all, since Xiao Feng started playing the NBA, the number of times the family has sat together and eaten together is only a handful.

Needless to say, Xiao Feng's days on the road, even in Los Angeles. Xiao Feng had to go to the stadium in the afternoon to prepare, and even ate a nutritious meal at the stadium for dinner. It was already about 12 o'clock in the evening when I got home after the game.

Even when he was resting in Los Angeles, Xiao Feng had to train at the stadium early in the morning, and he returned home late, so he had very little time to accompany his family.

However, the old people understand that young people always have something to do, otherwise it is not a problem to stay at home all day. Although they all like Xiao Feng to be with them at home.

The old people don't know much about the career of young people, but listening to what Xiaoqiang said, Xiao Feng went to play in the NBA, and the annual increase in the value of the club was at least more than 500 million US dollars, which made a huge contribution to the increase of family wealth. The Xiao family's wealth is already in the tens of billions. But to be able to have such an increase and greatly increase the influence of the family, Xiao Feng played not just a personal interest.

For Old Lady Xiao and the other old people of the Xiao family, the current life is a state that they couldn't imagine before, everything is so perfect, how can there be anything not satisfied?

Now, Xiao Feng is busy playing, and Xu Mengyao has also begun to take over the major decision-making affairs of the entire 'Jinghu Group', and the old people help take care of the children at home, and the family works together and is harmonious.

This year, the Olympics will be held in the South American city of Rio de Janeiro, and the Xiao family has decided to move the family to Rio to watch the games, especially the men's basketball game in which Xiao Feng participated.

Sometimes, Mrs. Xiao will also remember that after Xiao Feng returned home eight years ago, he brought wires and digital TV to the 'Ginkgo Village', and the whole village gathered to watch the scene of the Beiping Olympics.

Eight years have passed in a flash, and now 'Ginkgo Village' has become the richest village in China and the world, with per capita assets of more than 500,000 US dollars, and 200,000 US dollars in income next year. Ninety-five percent of the people in 'Ginkgo Village' are related to the Xiao family, and the villagers are living a good life.

During the Qingming Festival, the family held a ceremony to worship their ancestors, and the old lady and others took the 'Mengyao' to return to the 'Ginkgo Village', and the scene of the huge scenery made the old lady quite pleased.

Now, a landmark building full of Chinese style is rising on the shore of Jinghu Lake, and in the future, it will become the 'Xiao Museum' in front of the world, displaying various works of art collected by the Xiao family over the past 400 years, as well as calligraphy and painting works of generations of members of the Xiao family.

In the future, people will be able to see the protection and inheritance of the traditional Chinese culture of the Xiao family from this museum, and the ancestors of the Xiao family can also be regarded as having an explanation.

Although the Xiao family has lived in Los Angeles for a long time, no one has changed their nationality, which is the best way for the traditional old lady Xiao.

At this point in life, what more can a husband ask for?

…………

Although Durant and Westbrook tried their best, they still couldn't resist the concerted efforts of the Griffin trio, and the Thunder lost Game 5 at home, allowing the Clippers to get a match point.

In Staples, Paul and others also knew that this was the last chance to advance to the semifinals, so they were naturally extremely desperate, and the cheers of the 20,000 spectators at the scene also gave them the greatest motivation.

Two overtime. The Clippers defeated the Thunder 138-137 at home to reach the Western Conference semifinals, but they will face the Lakers.

In addition to the cheers of its fans, the Clippers' victory was happier than the NBA's top officials, after all, the series in Los Angeles naturally caused a much higher sensation than Oklahoma.

The two opponents of the semi-finals were also welcome such a result in their familiar matches. You don't have to work hard, it's good to play at your best.

When the results of the Western Conference semifinals were announced, the eyes of the whole world were almost focused on Los Angeles, the highest Los Angeles derby in years, after all, the timing of the rise of the two sides was basically out of sync.

When the Lakers were in full swing, the Clippers were just the belly of a fish in Los Angeles, and they didn't even taste the playoffs, let alone meet the Lakers in the playoffs. The Lakers are falling at an astonishing rate, and the pace of development between the two sides is not on the same beat at all.

This year, the unexpected rise of the Lakers and the normal performance of the Clippers gave the two teams in Los Angeles the experience of their first playoff matchup, which may become a good story in basketball history.

In the NBA, the only real derby is the Los Angeles derby, and the 'derby' between the Knicks and the Nets is just a boo created by the media.

The other semifinal game in the West will be against the passionate Warriors and the calm Duncan, two teams with very different styles. The leaders of both sides, Curry and Duncan, represent stars with different attributes.

The NBA league and the media cheered at this result. After all, strong dialogue can attract more attention from the outside world, which is good for everyone's jobs.

In the East, the Cavaliers face the fourth-ranked Hawks, and the second-place Raptors and third-place Celtics meet, which is also the top four in the East during this year's regular season.

Overall, there weren't too many upsets on the playoff side this year. The strong team that has proven itself in the regular season has not dropped the chain, and as for the Clippers, who are fifth in the West, defeated the Thunder, who are fourth, it is both unexpected and reasonable.

There are no unpopularity, and some surprises are missing. But the survival of the strong team will bring more topics and highlights to the next semi-finals, finals and even finals, which everyone is happy to see.

After all, in competitive sports, the appeal of superstars is still extremely strong, and fans and ordinary viewers naturally want to see James and Kobe Bryant compete against each other.

…………

In competitive sports, no one will be willing to be a loser, although it consumes too much physical strength and energy in the game against the Thunder, but the Clippers still hope to prove that they are not here to play soy sauce through the semifinals, and they are still a basketball force that cannot be ignored in Los Angeles.

Sometimes, the gap between ideals and reality can be so big that it makes people desperate, and in the four matchups in the regular season, the Lakers swept the Clippers 4-0, and the difference in strength between the two sides is vividly reflected!

Although the Clippers all hope that the team can perform better in the playoffs and defeat the Lakers, who are unbeatable this season, when the semifinals began, everyone's enthusiasm was poured with ice water!

The first game is the Lakers' 'home court', and the floor has been replaced with the Lakers' logo, but it is no stranger to the Clippers, who play at least 43 games a year on this court.

In the face of Xiao Feng, Paul's title of No. 1 point guard has long been lost, Xiao Feng's offense he is unable to defend, this is only half a half of Xiao Feng's performance of 24 points, 13 assists and 7 rebounds, his own data is only half of Xiao Feng.

The individual performance between Xiao Feng and Paul is also a microcosm of the overall performance of the Lakers and the Clippers, although the Clippers who can't suppress the Lakers' offense are not bad offensively, but the score of 65:53 still makes people feel a little desperate.

At the start of the second half, the Lakers' bench bandits played even better, allowing the main lineup to win the rest time in contention, which is undoubtedly the best way to assist in the long and intense playoffs.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Clippers 122-116 at home, winning the local derby and taking the lead in the series.

Don't look at the final score is a little close, but it was all because the game went into garbage time after six minutes into the fourth quarter, and the Lakers, who led by 18 points, replaced the starting lineup.

The result of the first game was like a slap in the face, and the Clippers were discouraged, but before they could come out of the shadow of the loss, the second game two days later dealt them a heavy blow.

Xiao Feng's big triple-double and Kobe Bryant's 42 points completely destroyed the Clippers' resistance in the first half, and the Lakers won two consecutive home games without blood.

Even a person with iron nerves will be broken down after facing the same opponent and getting 6 consecutive defeats, and naturally a kind of 'invincible' idea will sprout!

The psychological change soon manifested itself on the court, the Clippers' 'home' against the Lakers, the Clippers' sluggish state and the Lakers' high morale were in stark contrast, the Staples Arena fans turned against each other, and the Lakers inexplicably had more home-court advantage.

Xiao Feng and Kobe Bryant barely made much effort, and the Lakers soon won two games in a row on the 'road', swept the Clippers with a score of 4-0, won the local derby, and entered the Western Conference Finals with their heads held high.

Compared with the smooth sailing of the Lakers, the other Western Conference semifinals are thrilling and extremely tragic, even if the Warriors have the second best record in NBA history with 73 wins and 9 losses, facing the old and spicy Popovich and Shifo Duncan, it is still difficult to solve!

In the NBA, especially in the playoffs, the Spurs have always been a formidable team, and their machine-like precision and never-fluctuating emotions often make opponents overwhelmed.

With the Warriors and Spurs each winning two home games, the game is in its most painful phase, and whoever can take the lead could come out on top in the series.

To this day, no one will give up easily, and victory belongs to the bravest!

In the East, the Cavaliers led by James are relatively relaxed, with a score of 3:1 and a home-court advantage, they may be able to lock up the win at the next home court;

After entering May, the NBA's tragic playoffs have also attracted the attention of global media and fans, and the Lakers' relaxed playoff journey is also a source of talk, and everyone is speculating whether the Lakers can win the championship?

This trend of public opinion makes competitors very depressed, but they can only helplessly fight with the opponent in front of them, and only they can taste the taste! )
