0677: [Take Yao Shu at all costs]

"From the cheers of the fans, it was clear to us that the Los Angeles team was making an unstoppable move."

Bill Wharton was talking eloquently in the commentary booth, and he was a little sentimental. As a former member of the Green Shirts, he was an important figure in the yellow-green battle, and now his son is still serving the Purple and Gold Army.

It's hard for him not to be emotional.

"It's the Lakers' home court tonight! However, there were so many Clippers fans on the court. This was unimaginable before, and in the past, only Lakers fans infiltrated the Clippers' home court, but now, it is reversed. ”

Bill Wharton continued.

Reggie Miller picked up the conversation: "What makes Lakers management happy should be... Most of these fans are young. Those old supporters are still supporting this big team. ”

"No!" Bill Wharton shook his head: "This is exactly where the Lakers management has a headache. Young fans turning to the Clippers means... The Clippers are winning the future. Moreover, with Bruce's current momentum, as long as he continues to stay with the Clippers, the Clippers will continue to occupy the Lakers' market share. ”

"Kobe Bryant is getting older day by day, but Bruce is getting stronger. Moreover, he has a group of excellent young people around him. ”

Bill Wharton spoke to the heart of the Bass family.

After the last game, many local media that originally supported the Lakers began to turn around, and they turned up the exposure of the Clippers, which greatly drove the turn of young fans...... After all, young people aren't as loyal as the old guys.

The Bass family is now anxious like ants on a hot pan.

Now they've been forced to the edge of the cliff if this series is lost.

They are bound to have a frantic arms race next season, and they are bound to structurally strengthen the team.

Only in this way can we maintain market share and not be swallowed by the Clippers to steal the local market in Los Angeles.

^

The game was well organized.

As he said before the game, Lee Jin handed over the burden of attacking to the youngsters.

However, the Lakers didn't know it at first.

The Lakers were frightened by the 83 points in the last game, like a bird with a bow. Li Zhen held the ball, but whenever there was the slightest sign of intrusion, they immediately surrounded him.

But Li Zhen passed the basketball out in an instant.

In the beginning, the young players of the Clippers didn't feel very good.

But there are so many opportunities.

Moreover, the Lakers have not been in the groove for a long time...... They were pushed to the edge of the cliff and were extremely nervous, and the nervousness led to poor hands.

While jerky, cramped.

The rhythm of the first half was like a man and a woman who had just entered the cave room, tense and exciting... But I just can't score the ball.

After the start of the second half.

The Lakers were the first to get into the groove, and Kobe Bryant took the lead in breaking the balance with consecutive turnaround jumpers.

At this time, the young lads of the Clippers finally realized that it was better to rely on themselves than to rely on heaven and earth, and Bruce was determined to train them tonight.

After the experience points skyrocketed, the young man finally played the chapter.

After all, with an assist master like Li Zhen by his side, feeding the ball is no problem.

Because Li Zhen attracts a lot of defensive power on the strong side, whether it is Paul George or Eddie Griffin, when they pull away to the weak side of the single, they always get unexpected mismatch opportunities.

This greatly increases their accuracy and increases their experience and proficiency.

There's nothing like finding a defender who is weaker but not weaker in the high-intensity atmosphere of the playoffs to improve your skill and experience points.

The Lakers also sensed Li Zhen's intentions, and Li Zhen's constant feeding of the ball is strengthening the strength of his teammates and playing the effect of training with battles.

However, the Lakers can't do anything.

This is a conspiracy above board.

They can let go of Li Zhen, but once they let go of Li Zhen, will Li Zhen's hit rate be worse than that of Griffin and Paul George? He scored 83 points on the last game day.

Moreover, Kobe Bryant knew that this guy now had four sons. What if he loses another son today?

In terms of probability, neither Kobe nor the Lakers are willing to?? This risk.

But in fact, tonight's Li Zhen may not be as good as Griffin and Paul George.

The state of that night was hard to come by, and even if Li Zhen lost his son again, he might not be able to focus on releasing talent and integration with as much intensity as that night. After all, once raw and twice ripe.

This makes a lot of scientific sense. There is a threshold for everyone's spiritual attributes.

It's like Li Zhen's plug-in.

————

For the first time, the amount of sweat in a match opens up a 10-point talent space.

But last time, I practiced for almost 1 year.

Now, Li Zhen feels that it is far away, and he doesn't know how long it will take to usher in the next upgrade.

This is exactly the same level of difficulty as many game levels.

It's just that the Lakers can't think of it.

Or rather, it's too risky.

As a result, they can only passively follow the rhythm of the Clippers.

The Clippers were led by Blake Griffin and Paul George, followed by Milicic and Gordon Hayward in the rotation.

These young people in their prime have made Clippers fans fall into great joy, and at the same time, many Lakers fans have their mouths watering.

The Lakers really don't have any young people.

Andrew Bynum is still young, but his potential has not been fully redeemed since 2005 and is now in his sixth year.

In contrast, Bruce, who is younger than him, is already a two-time Finals MVP and a three-time regular season MVP, and is starting to attack the GOAT.

The most frustrating thing for Lakers fans is that Bruce was traded from the Lakers.

Every time I think of this time, fans can't help but mutter: Why wasn't Bynum traded in the first place?

Although it is said that after trading Li Zhen to get Pau Gasol, they immediately won two consecutive championships, but then they were knocked out by Bruce in the finals for two consecutive years.

This kind of mood, how lonely is it.

Now, with Bruce joining the Clippers. They couldn't even make it to the finals, and they were going home in the first round.

One by one, I can't help but feel sad about it.

The weak-willed ones went directly to the Clippers lineup.

And those old fans who have watched the Lakers come over for decades really can't let go of this friendship.

But now looking at the Clippers, a group of young people who are fierce and still growing rapidly, they feel very pessimistic about the future.

The Clippers will get stronger and stronger, and the Lakers....

Kobe Bryant is still ferocious.

Since the first game to get through the second vein, he has entered a new state, quite a bit of Michael Jordan's demeanor in the last three consecutive championships.

At one point in the third quarter, he led the team to a seven-point lead.

But in the fourth quarter, Li Zhen used a wave of fast breakthrough points to gradually chase the score back.

Then came the blunt knife cut-and-cut tug-of-war, in which Kobe Bryant battled with the Clippers' young players.

Li Zhen has always been a cold observer.

It wasn't until the game entered the countdown stage that he exerted a little force, attacking the penalty area one after another, using his strong physical fitness to create damage and pull the score away.

The last game.

There is no thrilling as imagined.

Nor is it overshadowed by any legend.

In addition to each round, the baht must be attacked and defended against each other.

The result is like ice melting in water.

It is full of a sense of fatalism that goes with the flow.

It's like human beings getting old.

Kobe Bryant had 37 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds in this game, which was his third triple-double in the playoffs, all in this series.

You can't hold an old comrade to a higher standard for playing better than James.

However, he ran into Bruce Lee.

Following on from his 83 points in the previous game, he added 27 assists in this game.

When one greatness is built on another.

Kobe Bryant tasted the bitterness of the years.

He stood calmly in front of the reporters after the game, and Li Zhen walked over to shake hands with him.

The two hugged in the spotlight for about 15 seconds.

Their relationship is too complicated, and they are both teachers and friends, as well as enemies.

Kobe Bryant won over Li Zhen in the finals.

Li Zhen has knocked out Kobe Bryant for the fourth time since the Beijing Olympics.

If he hadn't met Li Zhen, Kobe Bryant wouldn't have evolved at the peak tail.

Similarly, if there is no Li Zhen, Kobe Bryant really has a chance to win a wave of three consecutive championships.

Even this year, he still made it to the Finals and wrestled with the Knicks or Miami or Boston.

That kind of career might have been a little more brilliant.

Of course, a lot of fun can also be lost.

"I'll be back next season."

Bryant smiled gracefully in front of the camera, and then he stepped away.

Li Zhen waved his hand to him, and he took a step forward and walked towards the reporters who greeted him.

"We had a really good game, the young players took their chances, they played great basketball, and I'm very proud of their results."

Li Zhen said with a smile.

Then, the reporter asked him what it was like to beat the Lakers and Kobe.

Li Zhen said seriously: "I feel like I'm very lucky." We didn't really surpass the Lakers, and if we had another series, we would have lost. I'm not saying something discouraged, that's true. ”

"Bryant is great. He's done this round of the playoffs, and if his teammates can adapt more to him now, the Lakers will be very scary. Luckily, his teammates haven't reacted yet. ”

Li Zhen originally wanted to say... My 83 points in the last game was amazing, and it directly caused the Lakers to change their defensive strategy in this game.

However, for the sake of the next round, he couldn't tell the truth.

After all, the Clippers' next round opponent will be the strongest team in the Western Conference playoffs this year.

Dallas.

The Dallas Mavericks have quietly completed a rebuild focused on the elderly, and Nowitzki has big ambitions this year and is on the road to a championship.

Now there is a voice saying that the winner of the Clippers vs. Mavericks series will go straight to the Finals.

Because, the Memphis Grizzlies have already knocked down the Spurs as Li Zhen expected, and they won the battle of Tianwang Mountain, and then there is only one step left to achieve the Black Eight...... Because Duncan sprained his ankle in Game 5, although the Spurs team doctor has not revealed whether Duncan will be able to play, but in any case, his strength will be greatly reduced.

And before that, he had been bullied enough by the Memphis Bears because of weight loss.

Plus a foot injury, even more passive.

The playoffs are like this, the brine points to the tofu, and one thing drops the other.

Now the situation in the west has gradually become clearer.

The Clippers took out the Lakers 4-1.

Mavericks take out the Nuggets 4:1.

The Grizzlies lead the Spurs 3-2.

The Thunder led the Rockets 3-2.

Before the playoffs began, no one except Li Zhen could have imagined that this would be the result.

Compared with the sweeping of the upper half of the area in the east, the clouds and waves in the west are much more treacherous.

"Can you briefly talk about your appearance at the Iron Man 2 movie press conference after the last game? Now the public opinion is rife that you and Scarlett have a 1-year-old baby......"

After chatting about basketball for a few minutes, a reporter finally couldn't help but ask Li Zhen about the news that has recently stirred up the entire entertainment industry.

Li Zhen is in a good mood tonight, maybe it's the reason for the elimination of the Lakers.

He actually smiled and said: "First of all, Iron Man 2 is a good movie. ”

"Secondly, I think Leon is very beautiful and must be a handsome guy in the future."

"In the end, Scarlett and I don't have a son, and we're still separate individuals, and we haven't had a deep relationship that has legal or family significance."

Li Zhen replied in three sentences.

This is the Tai Chi style taught to him by the third uncle.

It seems that everything is responded, but nothing is responded.

The reporters were very excited to hear this, and this was the only positive news in recent times.

When they wanted to ask again, Li Zhen had already handed over and said thank you.

He hurried away from the scene.

^

When Li Zhen left the arena, Clippers owner Sterling and Lakers owner Jerry Buss met again, and they both had their own boxes at the Staples Arena, and they were located next to each other.

Commercially, Sterling was far more successful than the old Bass, and his wealth was several times that of the old Bass.

But in the field of basketball, he has always been inferior to Old Bass, and has even been regarded as a negative supporting role in the legend of Old Bass, or a joke-like character...... Because the old Buss borrowed the money to buy the Lakers from Sterling.

"Hey, my old fellow. See? We beat you all with ease, and now the whole of Beverly Hills has the Clippers logo, and we've won over 70 percent of the young fans in Los Angeles. ”

"Your saga is finally coming to an end......"

Sterling had a feeling of puffing up, and if it weren't for the fact that he wasn't used to smoking cigars, he would have really wanted to puff out a puff in front of Old Bass as a way to show off his momentum.

Old Bass was not in very good health.

But he remained gentlemanly, smiled at Sterling, and then said congratulations, and left with the help of his children.

Every step was heavy.

Sterling's 'villain' style of raising his eyebrows made him uncomfortable.

"This summer, take Yao Shu at all costs."

Old Bass makes a decision!

This owner, who has been in the NBA for decades, knows basketball very well, and he sees the essence at a glance: Yao Shu!

If the Lakers take Yao Shu.

The Lakers are the number one favorites to win the championship!

His sons and daughters also gave up the infighting at this time and hurriedly joined hands to act.
