703: Give me a good time

April 15, Bay Area, Oracle Arena.

The Golden State Warriors, who are considered the champions of the year, continue to host the Los Angeles Clippers at home, and the two teams will start the second game of the series.

In the first game, the Clippers made the whole league realize how strong they are. Although they still lost to the Warriors in the end, it was an honor for a team without a superstar to compete with the Warriors and let them corner.

So today, everyone is looking forward to one thing - whether the Clippers can overthrow the Warriors in one go!

The game didn't disappoint the fans, and once again, the Los Angeles Clippers, who were deemed to have no chance, left scars on the Warriors.

Among the Clippers' starting lineup, "Italian Cannon" Daniro. Gallinari played so well that he once faced off with Durant on the offensive end.

Gallinari's mid-to-long-range shots put the Warriors' defense to the test.

Of course, fans who are familiar with the Clippers know that the starting lineup is far from the strongest cane lineup of the Clippers. When Louis. Williams and Monterey. After Harrell continued to play, the Clippers' firepower became more powerful.

That's the Los Angeles Clippers, they don't have a superstar, but everybody can make a difference when they get on the court. They don't have a championship appearance, but they vow to drag the league's most luxurious team into the quagmire.

In the first half, the Warriors nearly sank the Clippers with a wave of 40 points in a single quarter. At halftime, the Warriors led by as many as 31 points at one point.

But in the third quarter, the Clippers launched a Jedi counterattack. Louis. Williams is not only able to attack on his own, but he can also get the ball to his teammates with precision in the bag.

That's right, bag clips. Steve. Cole may not have imagined that he would be forced to use the trap tactic by the eighth in the west.

Louis. Williams' terrible combined with the Clippers' collective rise in three-point shooting allowed the margin to begin to close step by step. In the end, with this amazing perseverance and the excellent play of the players, the Clippers were stunned to reverse the Golden State Warriors on the road and win a game. As he wished, he bit a piece of meat from the mighty warrior!

"In an incredible game, with a maximum of 31 points behind the Warriors, the Clippers actually completed a shocking comeback! They won the game, they earned respect, they were real fighters! ”

After the game, all the media and commentators around the world were impressed by the Clippers' performance. Because even if the Pacers trail the Warriors by 31 points, they will not necessarily complete the comeback. Halfway through the third quarter, there was no way out of the game where the Clippers could win.

You know, after Durant joined, the Warriors have only lost 2 teams at home in the playoffs, one is Henson's Pacers, and the other is the Rockets who won 65 in the regular season last year, and they are as strong as LeBron. James also failed to win a home game against Auckland.

But today, the grassroots Clippers did.

In another comparison, 5 players on the Warriors team were selected as All-Stars last season, and the Clippers let alone last season, all the players on the court today have not been selected to even 1 All-Star in their careers, while the total number of 6 players on the Warriors' side is 29 All-Stars.

Such a huge gap between the two teams and such a huge point difference in this game made the Clippers famous. Regardless of the final outcome of this series, whether the Clippers are eighth or first in the West this year. But the victory in this game is enough for the Clippers to blow for a lifetime.

For them, that's glory!

After the game, various basketball commentators and coaches praised the Clippers' performance. Among them, the local media in Detroit are still the most energetic. The Clippers' away kill of the Warriors undoubtedly proved the truth of the phrase "miracles happen here" with their actions.

As long as you are willing to work hard, as long as you are not willing to give up, miracles will always happen.

And Pistons coach Devin. Kessie was also on board, and he became the most excited of all the managers who commented on it. It's as if he himself led the team to win the Warriors.

"There is no doubt that it was a great victory. The Clippers' victory taught us that nothing is absolute in the playoffs. It's a big encouragement for my players and we're going to work harder and harder and then create our own miracles. ”

Even fools know what Casey means, and after the first big defeat to the defending champions, Casey still believes his team can pull off miracles like the Clippers.

For the Pistons, they only need one game win to make the season a glorious one.

A big Clippers-style win is enough to change the attitude of all fans towards the Pistons.

So, he's so focused on the Clippers and Warriors series. After all, the Clippers are now Devin. Casey's spiritual pillar. The victory of the Clippers can always bring a touch of warmth and hope to the brutal playoffs.

And now the pistons, what they need most is hope. If there is no hope, everything can really end early.

"Boss, did you watch last night's game?"

Early in the morning, Becky. Harmon showed up in Henson's office with a cup of coffee. Now, coming to Henson's office every morning for a cup of coffee has also become Becky. Harmon's habit.

"Of course," Henson nodded, "it was an impressive match. ”

"The Warriors must have lost badly, and I can't imagine their angry faces when they got back to the locker room."

"yes, they must be half angry. It is estimated that no one in the Warriors would have thought that they would suffer so much in front of the eighth place in the West. ”

"Hmm...... So, Henson. We have to be careful with our game today. I'm worried about ......"

"Worried about what? Worried about the Detroit Pistons turning into the Los Angeles Clippers? Rest assured, they don't have what it takes to turn into a Clippers. And we're not Golden State Warriors either. ”

Henson smiled slightly, Devon. Casey's remarks Henson has also seen it. It is not difficult to see that the Pistons yearn and obsess to defeat the Pacers. But Henson has already proved the huge gap between the two sides with one game, but a win in one game does not seem to completely destroy the Pistons' self-confidence.

In that case, let them lose again!

Casey is a good coach, but sometimes he is too idealistic. In the past, he always fantasized that the Raptors could beat the Cavaliers, but can DeRozan be compared to James?

Now, he's fantasizing that the Pistons can beat the Pacers. Did this guy forget that just two days ago, the best player under his command allowed Antetokounmpo to score 41 points?

The Clippers' success is unrepeatable, and the Warriors certainly haven't made the playoffs. So, don't emulate the success of others. If success can really be replicated, why are there still so many losers in this world?

"If you're so confident, why did you come early in the morning to study the video footage?" Becky. Harmon pointed to Henson's screen, and he thought that Henson was pretending to be calm on the surface, but in fact he was silently choosing a way to contain the pistons.

Henson is one such person, he doesn't like to show any emotions on the surface.

Hearing Harmon's question, Henson graciously turned his computer screen to his female assistant teacher, who was also his successor.

Becky. Harmon looked closely and realized that Henson was not studying the Pistons' game footage. Because on the pitch, a team wearing green jerseys stands out.

"You're ......"

"Boston Celtics, I'm already working on my next opponent, Becky. There is no hope, no accident and no miracle. The only thing the Detroit Pistons can take away from me is a loss. I know, it can be cruel. But this is the playoffs, this is the battlefield. I will not allow any unplanned losses to occur. ”

After Henson finished speaking, he continued to watch the video. As for the pistons? Henson doesn't think there's really anything to bother with.

The Clippers came back from 31-point down to win a great victory. This victory has been won by Devon. Kathy used it to spur and motivate herself.

But at the Bankers' Life Arena, he was not glorified. As Henson said, the only thing the Detroit Pistons can get here is a loss.

"Yesterday, the miracle that happened to the Clippers made everyone have illusions about today's game. But if a miracle can be replicated so easily, it wouldn't be called a miracle. ”

On the commentary stage, Kenny. Smith sighed boredly. Once again, Henson once again used his strong strength to tell the Pistons what a gap is.

Today, Henson unexpectedly fielded his ultimate lineup, the one that is believed to be used against the five-star Warriors.

As a result, it only took five minutes for the ultimate lineup to take the suspense out of the game. The Pistons really experienced what it means to defend and not be able to defend, and to attack and not be able to attack.

Midway through the third quarter, the Pistons trailed the Pacers by 30 points. Until then, there were still those who believed that the Pistons could be reversed. After all, that's how the Clippers won the game yesterday.

However, when the game was over, the difference became 42 points...... Miracles don't happen very often, and it's impossible for a person to survive by fantasizing about winning the lottery.

And Devon. Casey's delusion of defeating the Pacers is no different from the delusion that he won the lottery.

42 points, the largest point difference in the playoffs this season. What is a good reversal, what is the defeat of the strong by the weak...... Henson, who had only shown a little bit of his full strength for five minutes, told the Pistons, "Don't overthink it, prepare for the holidays." ”

At the end of the game, Henson had the most reporters around him. People are curious as to why he suddenly fielded the strongest ultimate lineup in the middle of the game.

In this regard, Henson's explanation makes Devin. Casey will never forget.

"I just want to give my opponent a hard time."

Rejoice, this is a right that only the executioner has. From the very beginning, the Pistons were not treated as opponents.

They are just a flock of lambs, and they are just a flock of lambs that can dream.

Casey stared blankly at the big screen at the scene, looking at the bloody 42-point difference. Although after the next two games, the battlefield will shift to Detroit, the home of the Pistons.

This time, though, Casey didn't have such a strong desire to win.

After two games, even the most persistent can see that the Detroit Pistons can't win, even if it's just a one-game win.
