Chapter 817: Advance to the Western Finals
The Western Conference semifinals kick off, the home of the Clippers.
"Don't pretend to be dead every day, look at your current ghost data, be careful that you won't even be able to start in the future." Before the match began, Richard smiled at Iguodala.
"As long as you have enough money, it's okay to play as a substitute, it's better, I don't have to be so tired." Iguodala said rather.
Richard shook his head speechlessly, he now knew why Iguodala had such a good foundation, but he had never been able to become the top supergiant in the league.
This product is too Buddhist.,It's completely a passable attitude.,Unless it's really a moment of life and death on the field.,Otherwise, this product is completely played by fate......
"Coach, I have a player option at the end of this season, do you think I should jump out and seek a long-term contract, or should I say that I will talk about it after the year?" Iguodala took advantage of this opportunity to consult Richard about his next steps.
He has $16 million left on his contract next season, but Iguodala feels that it would be a good idea to jump out of his contract and seek a long-term contract, and he is hesitant to make up his mind right now.
Richard is also aware of Iguodala's current situation, and he also knows that under normal circumstances, Iguodala joined the Warriors in the offseason of this season on a sign-and-trade basis, 4 years and $48 million.
In the eyes of later fans, Iguodala joined the Warriors to go for the championship.
Actually, otherwise, under normal circumstances, the current Warriors are actually nothing, and if Iguodala really wants to win the championship, he will have a better chance of staying with the Nuggets to win the championship.
After all, the Nuggets' record is much better than that of the Warriors.
There is only one reason why Iguodala really joined the Warriors, and that is for money......
At that time, only the Warriors were willing to offer Iguodala such a contract, and the Nuggets had no choice but to make a trade with the Warriors.
Because if he doesn't trade, Iguodala's contract expires next year and he leaves the team as a free agent, and the Nuggets won't be able to get it.
……
"Andre, I'm not going to give you advice on this kind of thing."
"Follow your heart, and when the season is completely over, you'll know what to do." Richard didn't give Iguodala advice and let him decide for himself.
……
In this round of the Clippers' series against the Nuggets, no one is optimistic about the Nuggets, even if they took out the Thunder with a good performance in the first round.
I am not optimistic about the Nuggets, mainly because the gap between the two sides in terms of lineups is too big.
The Nuggets' lineup is not that they can't take it at all, but compared to the Clippers' lineup, it looks a little dick-like.
Iguodala, the only one who can make a scene, is not optimistic that Iguodala can defeat Clippers rookie King Leonard in a matchup.
Leonard's performance can be described in one word, and that is stability.
Steady is a little bit like a human being......
Thompson's play is not consistent, and sometimes he can score 40+ points in this game, and he may only score 8 points out of 10 in the next game.
Leonard, on the other hand, is averaging 11 to 12 shots per game and then scoring about 15 points.
The offensive end is not stable, and the defensive end is even more stable like a robot, and Iguodala is obviously difficult to take advantage of Leonard.
Even Iguodala, a capable player, is at a disadvantage, let alone other Nuggets players.
……
The game had just started, Sun Yue was trembling with excitement, and he was playing against Tylawon in this game, which was simply beautiful.
Tylawson was only 180 tall, and later fell on the Rockets, on the one hand, because of injuries, and on the other hand, it was actually because of his height.
In George Carr's system, Lawson was able to find a lot of opportunities, but under McHale, Lawson was not so lucky.
Because he is too short, he is not particularly outstanding in terms of strength.
This game has just begun, and Sun Yue is directly pulling Tylawson crazy singles.
Crazy singles is not an unforgivable thing in Richard's team.
In the case of a good hand, Richard will encourage the players to play crazy singles, of course, if they continue to play crazy singles with a bad hand, it will be unforgivable, Richard will not only replace them from the court as soon as possible, but also give follow-up punishments.
Fortunately, there are no uninteresting people in the Clippers team at the moment, and when they feel good, except for Leonard, who is a weird guy, everyone else will shoot more or less, and if they don't feel good, they will try to reduce their shots as much as possible and focus on defense.
Sun Yue's opening feeling is quite good, after all, under the defense of Tylawn, any player above two meters, as long as the technique is not so Cai, the offensive efficiency is definitely not much worse.
Chinese fans are boiling, and Sun Yue is now leading the Clippers' offensive arrows, playing vigorously and vigorously.
In just half a quarter of the game, Sun Yue, the kid, had already scored 9 points......
Richard couldn't help but laugh, it seems that this round of the series will be the best time for Sun Yue to show off.
In the first round of the playoffs, the best performance was naturally Klay Thompson, who was opposite Blake, suppressing opponents in all directions, and averaging 27.5 points per game, which was quite dazzling.
Of course, Thompson's stats are only dazzling scoring, averaging 2.5 rebounds and 1 assist per game.
And this round of the Western Conference semifinals, if nothing else, may be the occasion for Sun Yue to break out......
In the cheers of domestic fans, in the shouts of Zhang Weiping "play him", the Clippers easily won this home court.
The big score of 104:89 is a big win over the opponent.
Among them, Sun Yue is undoubtedly the MVP player of this game, contributing 32 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, which is like the level of the league's first-line attackers.
These 32 points also broke Sun Yue's personal playoff single-game scoring record......
Sun Yue entered the league in 07 and has played the playoffs for five years now, and in the years of the Pirates, he has been able to reach the finals every year, and the number of playoff appearances is definitely the top among the rookies in the 07 class.
Even the top pick Durant and Ocher Auden are not as many playoff appearances as Sun Yue......
But most of Sun Yue's playoff game experience is actually playing soy sauce, playing for two or three minutes in garbage time, and the single-game score in the playoffs is definitely not high.
And now Sun Yue has finally made a big splash in the playoffs.
This is not the end, in the next three games, Sun Yue broke out again and again......
It's not easy to catch this kind of opportunity to match Tylawon, and it's no wonder that Sun Yue is willing to miss it.
And George Karl couldn't help it at all, because he had no one to use except Tylawon.
As a result, after four series, Sun Yue actually averaged an astonishing average of 26 points per game, and his performance was really no worse than Klay Thompson in the first round.
After four games, the Nuggets were swept out of the tournament.
Although this ending was expected, when the Clippers really swept the Nuggets, it still made fans sigh.
Richard's team has been recuperating after a short two-year hiatus, and it's time to rise again.
If nothing else, the Clippers may be the strongest contenders for the championship this year.
