The Western Conference semifinals were not as intense as people thought.

In addition to the first game on the home court of the Spurs, the Clippers lost the game, and in the remaining four games, the Clippers won consecutive games and eliminated the Spurs 4:1.

It's not that the Clippers are really that much stronger than the Spurs, the most important thing is that Duncan was injured in the first half of the second game and was unable to fight again, which led to the collapse of the Spurs.

Duncan is the anchor of the Spurs, even if Duncan is old now, he is still an indispensable part of the Spurs.

With Duncan's absence, the Spurs have exposed a huge problem inside, and the interior line composed of Split and Dior has a mediocre performance, whether it is rebounding or defense, facing Gobert and Egg Chase Green are at a disadvantage.

The two are competing for each other, and the Spurs have such obvious interior shortcomings, and it is impossible for Richard not to target them, which is why the Clippers can win four games in a row later.

However, this kind of big win is actually not what Richard wants.

The Spurs are a dangerous team, and Richard would rather boil frogs in warm water and win against the Spurs by a less obvious margin than win this kind of easy victory.

Because this easy win will allow the Spurs to strengthen in the next season, especially on the inside.

The Spurs' salary space can scrape together a contract with an annual salary of about $20 million at any time, which can allow the Spurs to search for a very powerful interior line.

If the Clippers win narrowly this season, the Spurs may not have too drastic reinforcement ideas, after all, they can save some points, and poor families don't have to live like this.

But now that it is such a big defeat, it is estimated that the Spurs will have to grit their teeth and make up for it.

What kind of lineup the Spurs will be next season, Richard doesn't dare to think about it, it will be quite difficult to deal with anyway.

After bloodlessly taking out the Spurs, Richard finally led the rebuilt Clippers to the Finals.

And the opponent is the Hornets, a dynasty team created by Richard.

After Richard's departure, the Hornets have not been able to win the championship for many years, and even failed to qualify for the Finals last season.

This is arguably the best time for the Hornets to win the championship, and it is also the last chance, as many of their core players are in contract years and may go their separate ways next season due to salary issues.

Jordan is quite nervous, whether he can increase the number of championships in team history to five, it all depends on the future in less than half a month.

As for whether he can win the championship in the future, Jordan knows very well that this is definitely a matter of the year of the monkey, and he may not be able to wait until Jordan is old enough to be on crutches.

There are a total of 30 teams in the league, if you want to win the championship, how can it be so easy, luck and ability must be possessed at the same time to have a chance to win the championship.

If you have the ability alone, just like the first year Richard left the Hornets, the Hornets Finals were injured one after another, and their luck was so bad that they finally lost the championship.

If you are lucky, you can get a lot of high-quality players, but your coaching ability and operation ability are not good, just like the Philadelphia 76ers or Minnesota Huskies in later generations, and they still can't win the championship.

And it can't be ordinary luck and ability, it has to be top luck and ability to win the final championship.

Why did Richard have so many titles? In fact, it is nothing more than luck and ability.

Because of various props, Richard doesn't have to worry about player injuries, this is his "luck".

Because of the reason that he came over, Richard knew who was more suitable for the draft, and this was his "ability".

Luck and ability go hand in hand, which makes Richard invincible.

Jordan obviously doesn't have either, his luck is terrible, and his ability to choose people is also first-class, even he knows it clearly, so if he wants to win the championship in the future, the chances are quite slim.

……

"Lee, I finally met you in the finals."

"I used to think that in your second year at the helm of the Clippers, we would meet in the Finals, but I didn't expect it to drag on until the fourth year."

Charlotte was at home, and after Richard led the team, Jordan found Richard's door and said to Richard with a smile.

"Michael, why do you feel a little nervous?" Richard asked with a smile.

"Nervous? Of course it was nervous, and to tell you the truth, the previous finals left a shadow on me, and every time I got to the finals, I couldn't sleep, worried about that nightmare again. Jordan said with a wry smile.

The nightmare Jordan said was naturally the successive injuries of his players in the previous finals.

If it weren't for the successive injuries of the players, the Mavericks would definitely have no hope of winning the championship, and Jordan would have led the team to five consecutive championships.

"Ahem, I don't think your luck is that bad......" Richard said with a smirk.

As a result, Richard's poisonous milk directly poisoned the wasps.

In the first game of the finals, the game had just been played for less than two minutes, and Curry was directly injured......

As a result, the Hornets finally defeated the Clippers with a difficult and narrow victory with excellent performance.

Curry's injury results came out, the cruciate ligament was strained, and he couldn't play in the Finals.

Thankfully, it's not a torn cruciate ligament, and if it does, it's a problem......

Players who have suffered a torn cruciate ligament will be the first thing fans think of Rose, which shows the horror of this injury.

In normal history, many people have suffered cruciate ligament injuries, such as Maddie, Rondo, bearded Davis and others.

It's just that someone is just a strain like Curry, not a tear, so someone can get back to the top.

……

Jordan's whole person was on the verge of collapse, and he didn't know why God was treating him like this.

Could it be that it is because his playing career is too perfect? After God opened a door for him, now he has to close a window again?

Curry's injury was not the end of Jordan's nightmare, but the beginning of it.

G1 Curry is injured and the Hornets struggle to win.

The G2 Hornets lost on their home turf.

The main attack point of the G3 team, Durant, fractured the metatarsal bone of his right foot, which will be directly reimbursed!

The metatarsal bone is probably the bone that goes inside the toe bone, and this part of the fracture is definitely a major injury, and Durant may have to recuperate for at least half a season next season.

Under normal circumstances, Durant actually suffered this injury in 14, when he recuperated from the injury for two months, and the result did not get better, and later underwent bone graft surgery, which led to the loss of the season.

As a result, because of Durant's injury, the Clippers beat the Hornets again in G3.

The Hornets did not have Durant and Curry, how could it be the opponent of the Clippers, and in the next two games, Richard led the Clippers to destroy the withering and decay, simply eliminated the Hornets, and won the first championship trophy in the history of the Clippers.
