Chapter 932 [The Second Year of Encounter]
The next day, some netizens commented: "If James loses like this again, maybe he will be bald before the age of 35." ”
"James is not as good as Kobe, at least Kobe won the championship in 2010 without O'Neal."
In the 2007 finals, James was said to be the pride of the sky, as if it was not a problem to win the championship and surpass Jordan before the age of 28, but he was still empty-handed.
Another star with empty hands is Paul, who is even worse, and James has at least two regular season MVPs. Paul didn't even win an MVP and was never the best player in the league.
Game 4 of the Western Conference began, after the Clippers led 2-1 and regained home-court advantage. They didn't give the Warriors a chance today, launching a spree that led by 17 points in the first half.
Curry and Thompson both missed shots. Thompson has played a good number this season to prove that he deserves the top salary, but unfortunately he is not stable enough. While Thompson is good at catching the ball, not attacking with the ball, Crawford can create his own scoring opportunities. The No. 2 position Warriors don't have much advantage.
Griffin scored quite a few points. When Bogut was there, the defense Griffin was much better, and David Lee was limited in height, and once Griffin turned and threw in the low post, he couldn't cover it. On N'Golo Kante, Griffin can pull out to cover and let Paul and Crawford break through.
The score opened in the final quarter, and the Clippers defeated the Warriors 116-98, won two consecutive road wins, and got the match point 3-1.
The Warriors lack an interior line that can defend and pick-and-roll, and Kanter, David Lee, and Speights are all anti-mans under the basket and struggle to defend them. It was right to send Bogut away, but instead of returning to a center who couldn't defend himself, he should find a power forward. Green is fast enough, but he's too short.
If they want to trade, the Warriors can only wait until the end of the season, and both fans and experts know that the Warriors are about to take a vacation.
Game 5 was played at Staples Arena in Los Angeles, and the Clippers took the lead from the start, maintaining their advantage until the end, playing aggressively.
Paul exploded with 34 points and 12 assists, and Griffin also scored 32 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists.
The Warriors' bench could not withstand the Clippers' wild attack in the second quarter, which was a major reason for the loss. The combination of Hawes, Crawford, Famar, Smith and Ray Allen can attack and defend.
The Warriors have no offensive players off the bench, Livingston is in a half-dead state this season, with a poor shooting touch and a high defensive center of gravity, and Iguodala has become a pure blue-collar and does not score in double figures. The best of the table is Speights, who also likes to shoot on the fly.
The Knicks and Clippers meet again in the Finals.
The Knicks watched Game 5 together and had a meeting to discuss.
They unanimously believe that this year's Clippers are stronger than last season, not only because of the reinforcement of the inside and outside, but also because of the change of owners, the players' goal is to win the championship, and the team's morale is high.
More people on the Internet are optimistic about the Knicks, and the odds to win the championship are better than the Clippers. The previous series were all sweeps, and the Knicks were even more striking, with the only injured player being Bledsoe. Clippers Glen Davis sprained his knee and is out for the season. With Smith, this flaw can be remedied.
Smith is a better fit for the Clippers than Davis, he shoots poorly, but he's a good pick-and-roll defender with a long reach, extraordinary bounce, and a knack for side-blocking blocks. At the time of the Eagle, some people thought that he was the "Eagle King". The Clippers were lucky to recruit him to the team at almost no cost.
The Clippers also got three days off in the 22112 finals, with the Knicks playing two home games in New York.
Zhou Xuan stayed at home, and when it was almost time to eat, Zhou Gaozhuo rushed to cook. "Go watch TV with Grace, don't worry about it, I'll tell you to cook."
"Okay."
Zhou Xuan didn't shirk it, anyway, it wasn't a tiring thing, both of them took cooking as relaxation.
The four of them lived upstairs and downstairs, and they couldn't get in the way of each other. Zhou Xuan went to the second floor to play with Kolo.
Kolo was lying on the bed, his feet were crossed back, wearing a cartoon pajamas, his face was flushed, and there was an indescribable charm, Zhou Xuan never got tired of watching this scene.
Zhou Xuan turned over and jumped on the bed, hugged her from the side, kissed her on the cheek quickly, and asked with a smile, "What are you doing?" ”
"You're letting awesome cook again?" Kolo straightened his laptop and said with a smile: "I'm checking the tourist location, I won't be making movies this year, let's go out and play, right?" ”
"Okay."
"You don't have any work then, do you?" Chloe pursed his lips.
"I definitely have to go back to China to do activities, I'm a basketball ambassador, and it won't take me a few days. All the other commercials should have been filmed, and there should be nothing wrong. We may be able to shoot commercials while playing, and it is more convenient to have people to receive us wherever we go. Zhou Xuan smiled.
Kolo rarely films, and Zhou Xuan doesn't plan to practice during the holidays, he wants to have fun. He is now at the peak of his skills and consciousness. Zhou Xuan really didn't think he could practice anything, he was already the best.
Kolo thought for a moment and nodded, "That's fine, if we travel alone, it's quite troublesome to have to hire bodyguards." ”
The Beckham family traveled with bodyguards, and they were so famous that they couldn't get out of it because they were blocked by fans. In China, now that Zhou Xuan is more famous than Lao Bei, fans may want to kidnap him. If he hooks his fingers, a group of beautiful women will excitedly take the initiative to dedicate themselves.
In the United States and Europe, it is slightly better, and it will be on the road, restaurants, and everywhere to meet people asking for autographs, and having a bodyguard is a must.
There is no need to live in an apartment in Manhattan, if you buy a villa in Los Angeles, Zhou Xuan is ready to invite two people, it will not cost too much.
"Let's go to Los Angeles to see the house first during the holidays, don't forget this."
Kolo smiled: "Well, my parents know that they are going to meet, they are very nervous, and they called yesterday to ask me what I want to prepare, they are worried that they are used to freedom and leave a bad impression on your parents." Martha was also worried about this, why did they all think so? ”
"I guess there's no problem, right?"
When falling in love with Emma, the two often apologize to each other for not having time to meet and work arrangements, thinking that this is not good. When I do something, I will constantly ask the other party's opinion, for fear that something will be wrong. They were respectful and polite.
With Kolo, Zhou Xuan generally doesn't use his brain, and says whatever comes to mind. He wasn't worried at all that Chloe would be uncomfortable or anything, and he wasn't afraid that she would run away one day, they had all come over the years, the only change was sleeping together.
Husband and wife life, almost like this, the two have developed a habit, and there is a little fun in the plain.
Half an hour later, Zhou Gaozhuo asked them to eat.
The topic of privacy was talked about during the meal, and Martha told them to do a good job of protection, and Chloe was only 18 years old, so don't be careless.
Chloe doesn't film, he stays in New York all the time, eats a little fat, his face is round again, and he has some meat on his stomach. She touched her stomach and smiled, "Don't worry, it's not ...... It seems that I really have to lose weight, and when you come, you eat better than before, and you can't control it. ”
Martha hurriedly said again: "It's okay to be fat, it's good, it's okay if you don't lose it." ”
The family is happy, Zhou Xuan can put his mind on the court, and nothing in life makes him uncomfortable or distracted, which is also an advantage.
On the Clippers' side, core Chris Paul is putting pressure on himself. He studied footage of Knicks games, practiced shooting, and told himself over and over again that he couldn't lose again.
Reaching the Finals for two consecutive years, the Clippers did a great job, but Paul felt that it was not enough, he didn't want to be a tragic hero like Stockton, and Zhou Xuan didn't like others to call him "Chinese Stockton" at the beginning. Last season was inexperienced, but now they have enough playoff experience and Finals experience to win the championship.
The other core Griffin was in a more relaxed mood. By this year, he felt like the league's number one forward, at least for the betterment of the day. Duncan is old, Aldridge and Bosh are too soft, and Love is now almost a center and doesn't play well with the Cavaliers.
Griffin has been at the top of the MVP selection this season, and he can attack from the low post, but he can also shoot from the mid-range, and his playmaking ability has improved. He is confident that he will play well in the finals. If Bosh is allowed to defend alone, he is confident that he can blow up the opponent alone.
Griffin's heart has always been relatively wide, and he can run to shoot **** during the holidays. Just try your best and if you lose, he'll be okay with it. As long as you overcome yourself and do your best, you will have no regrets.
Griffin has a very good mentality and no one will see him cry because he loses. And he is not brainless, and the progress of these two years is the best example. He didn't waste his talent and worked hard to strengthen his abilities.
Josh Smith was most excited. The Pistons bought out his contract, made a lot of money, and could compete for a championship, but he hadn't played in the Finals in his career.
During the break, fans around the world were predicting the outcome of this grand final.
Zhou Xuan is a five-time regular season MVP, leading Paul in assists and steals, and is the only guard in the league who is recognized as stronger than Paul, and Jefferson is better offensively than Jordan Jr. on the inside, which is the advantage of the Knicks. The other positions are basically dominated by the Clippers, and small forward Smith is not afraid of Parsons, and it is difficult to say whether the winner will be lost.
The ESPN expert group predicted that the Knicks had a 60% chance of winning the championship and the Clippers 40%, just because of Zhou Xuan's organizational ability.
Fan "Green Blood Garnett" said: "I believe that Zhou Xuan will win the championship, he was born to break the record, what is the four consecutive championships?" I'm optimistic that he will win next year as well. As long as Bosh and Jefferson are there, the Knicks will have no problem attacking, and they are called the Big Three. ”
"Jamie Goes to the West" said: "The Clippers lineup is very luxurious, but Paul and Zhou Xuan can only end up in hatred in an era. ”
"I helped my grandmother over Harden" said, "I like both teams, and the Knicks can dunk more." Little Jordan should have dug into New York in the first place. ”
"Duran" said: "If the Clippers want to win the championship, let's dig James in the summer, I don't think Smith is good, the shooting is too poor, this is definitely a hidden danger." ”
Chinese fans want the Knicks to win, and four consecutive championships are of great significance. It's much more interesting than the Clippers winning the championship and Paul or Griffin getting their first career MVP.
There are many American fans who support the Clippers, and they are tired of watching the Chinese dominate the league.
