The long regular season of the 2013-2014 season is finally over.

With a 70-12 record, the Clippers gave everyone a big exclamation point.

After the game between the Clippers and the Trail Blazers, the headlines of the major media outlets in the United States were a big number, 70.

Since 1996, another team has pushed the number of wins to the top seven, which has to be said to be a huge achievement.

The entire Los Angeles media is singing praises for the Clippers, even the die-hard newspapers and media people of the Lakers in the past, they have to stand up at this time and compliment the Clippers with a little sourness.

Of course, this is only a regular season achievement, and doubts will still exist until the Clippers win the championship.

For example, many people believe that the Clippers are not as strong as they seem.

The Clippers have won many games, but their style of play is a "regular season" style of play, and they still need to be tested in the playoffs.

These doubts are not unreasonable, because until a rising team wins a championship, you can always look at it.

It's either that the lineup is not harmonious, or the substitutes are flawed, or the team's tactical style is problematic, heavy on attack and light on defense, lack of tenacity, etc.

Of course, when you win the championship, all problems will not be a problem.

So, the road to the championship is the way to solve the problem.

The Clippers know this from top to bottom, and no matter how much they brag and advertise the Clippers' 70 wins, they just simply celebrated in the locker room after winning the Trail Blazers, and then opened a few bottles of wine and drank a few glasses at the hotel, and then Rivers said to everyone: "70 wins is a great achievement, we are a great team, a great team, and I'm proud to be able to coach you." But I want to remind you that the season isn't over yet, like Bruce said, it's just getting started, and if we don't get to the final point, there's no point in what we're doing. ”

Rivers' words are not alarmist, 70 wins is indeed a remarkable achievement, but in the NBA, a championship is everything.

This is also where the NBA is more brutal compared to the football league.

You play football in Europe, there are leagues in every country, the big teams can compete for the Champions League, and the next big teams can compete for the Europa League.

Then in some countries with a long history of football, such as the United Kingdom, small teams can compete for the FA Cup.

When it comes to the world competition, the quadrennial European Cup and the World Cup are even more sports events, which means the supreme national glory of the football team.

It can be said that a player, a team, has many ways to prove themselves.

So a team like Arsenal can have a lot of die-hard fans.

And in basketball, in the NBA world, there is only one championship.

In comparison, the leagues in other regions are dwarfed, and the World Olympic Championships are more of a game of second-place competition.

Because of this, the arrogant American calls the NBA championship the "world champion", and as long as he wins the NBA championship, he is the king of the world in the basketball world.

The Clippers players know that.

This year is the first year of Li Liang's arrival, and the whole team can be said to be strong and strong, and they have run in well in all aspects, which is their best chance to impact the championship.

In fact, Rivers himself didn't expect that after Li Liang came to the Clippers, the Clippers could become so strong.

70 wins, at the beginning of the season, it was really unthinkable.

Although Rivers has a luxurious assistant coaching team, the two strongest brains in the team, he often stands on the sidelines and watches the game.

But Rivers' role as a mascot that unites the team and stabilizes people's hearts is still very important.

Especially his chicken soup, which has little effect on Li Liang and works very well for others.

For example, Jordan Jr., Jordan Jr. has been thoroughly trained and trained by Rivers this season, and has made great progress on the defensive end, and has basically stepped into the ranks of the best interior defense in the league.

Another example is Griffin, Griffin's brilliance this season has actually been overshadowed by Li Liang a lot, but his progress is definitely great.

He's become a formidable attacker on the offensive end and has played well with a second lineup, giving the Clippers a strong continuity on offense.

This is also the reason why the Clippers can often beat opponents by more than 120 points, and the offensive firepower of the main force and the bench is particularly good.

Some teams often have the main team to wrestle with the Clippers, and the bench has been defeated.

The Clippers' bench is to take the offensive route, that is, to score, and the defense is like that anyway.

After the regular season, the Clippers will have three days off, and three days later, the 2014 playoffs will officially begin.

Li Liang followed the team back to Los Angeles, and Rivers gave the team two days off, and the team organized training the day before the game.

The players need to adjust physically and mentally to prepare for the upcoming playoffs.

……

On April 17, Li Liang got up early, went out for a run, and then went home for breakfast.

The maid at home was ready early, and Zhu Shu just got up to have breakfast with Li Liang.

Sitting with Zhu Shu was a familiar figure - Bai Xiaoting.

In the past two days, Bai Xiaoting went to Li Liang's house to live, and she had to sleep with Zhu Shu and let Li Liang sleep alone.

Li Liang is not happy, can't the three of them sleep together?

Bai Xiaoting is doing well in the fashion industry in Los Angeles, and in the era of online media, some Internet celebrity brands have risen.

Bai Xiaoting has a good figure, outstanding appearance, and a very good design foundation, while doing design, while running her own brand, she is very comfortable in Los Angeles, and soon has her own social circle.

Li Liang said hello to Bai Xiaoting and said, "How is it, do you have a boyfriend?" ”

Bai Xiaoting drank coffee and glared at Li Liang, "Get out of the way, why are you still flamboyant." ”

Li Liang coughed dryly, I don't know why, in front of Bai Xiaoting, he just couldn't control his mouth.

Li Liang has a different relationship with Zhu Shu now, and he can't talk to Bai Xiaoting like before.

But Bai Xiaoting didn't seem to plan to let Li Liang go.

"What, the playoffs are about to start, I heard that you are going to be blackened?"

Li Liang said: "Who did you listen to?" Black Eight? No way, I can't be black-eight, of course, Kobe Bryant, thinking he didn't make the playoffs. ”

Li Liang has made up his mind, if you hack me, I will hack Kobe.

This time, the Lakers failed to make the playoffs, becoming the third defending champion to fail to make the playoffs after the Celtics in 1969 and the Chicago Bulls in 1998.

In this way, the Celtics, Lakers, and Bulls, the three giants who have won the most championships, have all achieved this embarrassing achievement.

In the face of Li Liang's "insult", Bai Xiaoting was unmoved, and said: "Anyway, Kobe Bryant has already achieved fame, he doesn't need to prove anything, it's you, be careful of falling on your heels." Do you know that the tree is a big wind? ”

Bai Xiaoting's words were a bit of a reminder.

The tree of Li Liang and the clipper is indeed very big and very windy.

While most people are marveling at the Clippers' 70-win win, there are as many people as there are cheering and cursing silently, expecting the Clippers to lose.

It's not that people's hearts are sinister, but that the arena is like this, either you die or I die.

If you want to reach the top, you have to step on the corpses of other teams.

And the body of the Clippers, a giant, is undoubtedly something that many teams want to step on.

Especially the Clippers' first-round opponents, the Dallas Mavericks.

In the final round, the Mavericks chose to lose so that they fell behind the Grizzlies in terms of record and fell to eighth place.

In the first round, he took the initiative to pick the Clippers as an opponent.

Because the Spurs are second in the West, the Mavericks may think that it is better to play the Clippers than the Spurs.

If the regular season record reaches the playoffs, the Spurs should be more difficult to play than the Clippers.

Anyway, that's what the Mavericks think from the management, to the coaches, to the players, to the fans.

After all, the stereotype is there, the Spurs have never missed the playoffs since they had Duncan in 1998, and they were only eliminated in the first round in 2011, and all the first rounds in other seasons passed.

As for the Clippers, even if they get 70 wins, they still give people the appearance of a silver-like pewter gun head and kidney deficiency.

In particular, the Mavericks defeated the Clippers on the road in a recent regular season game, which can be said to have given the Dallas a lot of confidence.

For these, Li has a little bit of conscience.

He knows that the first round is still very important, and it must be resolved quickly, so as to set an example and build confidence.

Looking down on the number one in the league? Do you think the Clippers are the Celtics in '08? At the beginning of the first round, they had to tie seven.

Li Liang is a player who has seen the world, and the hand he kept in the regular season was reserved for the Mavericks.

……

At night, Bai Xiaoting didn't leave, and had to sleep with Zhu Shu.

Li Liang can't help it, what should he do, as a revenge, could he call Wei Dazhi over to sleep together?

Is this TM revenge? This is a scourge to yourself.

Li Liang thought about it, it was better to enter the second volume of the City of Angels book and complete the fourth task.

So, Li Liang, who had no women to play at night, could only play the system.

The fourth task in the second volume of the City of Angels Book is to "Swim in the Scorching Sun".

The mission was to go back to the 2006 Western Conference semifinals and enter the Los Angeles Clippers at that time, helping the Clippers defeat the Phoenix Suns and reach the Western Conference Finals.

That was the closest the Clippers came to the Western Conference Finals.

They played Game 7 in the semifinals against the Suns, who lost to Stoudemire, and lost the game and lost the chance to reach the Western Conference finals.

This was already the highest point in the history of the Clippers, and that year the Suns eliminated two Los Angeles teams in quick succession, resulting in the first Los Angeles derby not taking shape.

If the Clippers had made it to the Western Conference Finals that year, the history of the Clippers would have been very different.

[Mission, Swimming in the Scorching Sun, Time: May 22, 2006, Location: Phoenix Airlines Center, USA vs.: Los Angeles Clippers vs. Phoenix Suns, Mission Requirements: Replace Elton Brand to help the Clippers win this game, Mission Reward: Skill 'Kassel's Smile']

Li Liang looked at the reward of this task, what kind of skill is this?

Kassel's smile?

Suddenly I don't want to do it.
