Chapter 464: After the Victory (6/10)

The Warriors finally exited the court from the players' tunnel under Kerr's guidance, and the players' faces were not as frustrated as when they had just lost, and their mood was obviously much more stable, and it was obvious that Kerr's encouragement played a big role.

Tang Shuai and the Clippers stayed on to celebrate with the rest of the team, beating the defending champions without Paul and Griffin to reach the division finals, no matter how they played in the next round of the conference finals, such a result was enough to satisfy everyone.

Just after the game, the comments on the Internet also climaxed collectively like the fans at the scene.

Beepdog: It's incredible, even though I've watched all the games, I still think it's an incredible thing, the Clippers without CP3 and Blake, actually eliminated the defending champion with 73 wins, the whole lineup, this is not a game!

Helpless: The Clippers won the series with the 73-win Warriors! It was definitely the craziest thing of 2016, and Don was just as crazy as it was, and we're witnessing the birth of a new league ambassador, the last time I was so stunned, it was the basketball god in the tape.

Yao Ruhuang He: I'm a Chinese, and I'm a big fan of the NBA, I really can't describe my mood at the moment, there is a Chinese guard who has a superstar performance in the NBA, and led the team to win the unbeatable Warriors, I think I'm going crazy, no, I'm crazy, I'm really looking forward to this year's Olympics!

……

Local fans in the United States were shocked by the Clippers' victory, and in fact, the sixth game between the two sides not only attracted unprecedented attention in the United States, but as the last Chinese American said, its ratings in China were absolutely explosive.

Because the time of the match on this day was Saturday morning Beijing time, almost everyone could watch the game before the TV festival, and the result can be imagined, directly breaking the ratings set in the final of the Asian Championships.

For domestic basketball fans, if it is the most impossible thing for the national team to win the Olympic championship, then Tang Shuai led the team to defeat the 73-win Warriors, which can definitely be regarded as the second most impossible thing.

Without Paul, without Griffin, Tang Shuai finally broke out in adversity, especially the scene of the last game with an injury made all the fans moved, if the Clippers team can defeat the almost invincible Warriors team, then when it comes to the national team, in the face of opponents who are inferior to NBA players, how will Tang Shuai perform?

It's something that will soon be answered, but it's already something that can't wait, and while the Clippers still have a playoff game to play, fans can't wait for the upcoming Olympics in August.

In fact, not to mention the fans, the coaching staff of the national team can't wait for a long time, the basic people over there have all arrived to train, and Zhou Qi and Tang Shuai are left, and there are only more than 2 months left to prepare for the game, and they are also in a hurry.

However, whether it is the fans or the national team, it is useless to be in a hurry, the Clippers will participate in the Western Conference Finals next, and it is impossible for Tang Shuai to report on the national team between the end of the game.

In the post-game press conference, despite losing the game, Curry and Thompson were still present with head coach Kerr.

"Isn't it frustrating that the team almost won the game?" The reporter asked Cole.

"Regret? Bemoan? We fought until the last minute and although it didn't turn out as we wanted, our team is still there, our players are still fighting and next season is going to be a very interesting season. "Cole's mentality is still very good.

"Stephen, the best record in history, becoming the first unanimous MVP in NBA history, and then being blocked out of the division finals, is that going to bother you a lot?" The reporter turned his head and aimed at Curry.

"Well, I don't want to hide anything...... It's not really something that makes people happy, but ...... That's the way it is, we can't win all the time, we've been inconsistent in this series, especially my play, there's still a lot to sum up, but the good thing is that we're still young at the core and we still have chances. Curry opened his mouth to reply, and it could be seen from his face that he was still very frustrated, after all, it was an absolute shame for them to be eliminated in the Western Conference semifinals after making so much history.

"Steve, let's evaluate Don, we see that he and Stephen have been scoring since Game 3." The reporter saw that Curry was not in a good mood, and then turned to Kerr and asked again.

"That's an incredible guy, if you ask me, all I can say is that our coaching staff has tried everything to limit him, but it didn't work, I really doubt he used some kind of game plug-in, well, just a joke, but Don really doesn't come across like a rookie, and you say he's the one in history who wouldn't be overrated."

"Yes, it's a respectable opponent, even though he's a rookie, I've never treated him like a rookie, I treat him like a competitive opponent and he's going to have a good future." Curry added.

"Yes, he is, he has all the ingredients to be a superstar, and I'm sure it won't be long before he really drives the league crazy." Even Thompson, who had been on the sidelines, added at this time.

The head coach and the two cores have praised Tang Shuai, and from their words, they can feel that only after they have really fought head-to-head can they truly understand a person.

At the same time as the Warriors' press conference, the Clippers celebrated wildly in the locker room.

At the beginning, the players were just scolding, but when the staff brought the champagne, the whole scene was uncontrollable, and the champagne sprayed out all over the sky, and the players completely treated the champagne as water and rushed directly in the locker room.

For everyone in the room, beating the Warriors was as cool as winning a championship.

Tang Shuai sat in the corner of the locker room at this time, watching the players celebrate, he was also emotional, although he continued to encourage his teammates before the game, although he had an unyielding fighting spirit and the belief of not admitting defeat, but when all this became a reality, he still felt a little confused.

was emotional in his heart, and he didn't go forward to celebrate at this time, not because he didn't want to, but because he still had hemostatic tape on his head, if he was drenched, it was estimated that he wouldn't have to play in the next round.

The frantic celebration lasted for several minutes, until a member of staff came to the scene to call someone to attend the press conference, and the team members reluctantly stopped.

After a simple shower, Tang Shuai followed up with Paul to attend the post-game press conference.

Unlike the Warriors' away press conference, the conference room was already overcrowded at this time, with various camera "cannons" facing the long table, and the scene was quite large, which can be said to be the largest since Tang Shuai entered the NBA.

When Tang Shuai came in, he was taken aback by the battle in front of him, but he quickly calmed down and walked to the seat with Paul and sat down.

"First of all, congratulations to the Clippers for reaching the Western Conference Finals, before the series began, almost no one thought you could win this series, but today you're already the winner, Coach Sam, can you tell us a little bit about the secret to winning?" As soon as the reporter opened his mouth, he asked Kassel.

"First of all, I have to correct it a little bit, it's not that nobody thinks we can't win the series, and that old guy Reggie (referring to Miller) has a very special eye." Kassel didn't answer right away, but said with a joking smile as soon as he came up.

Kassel's humor drew laughter from the reporters, and the atmosphere became lighter.

"We were actually able to win the game and you can see why." Cassel then turned his head to look at Tang Shuai sitting next to him, "This is an incredible guy, he is the main reason why we have come to this point." ”

Kassel's bluntness made Tang Shuai a little embarrassed, although this is true, but it is the first time that the head coach has been named so by the head coach at a press conference.

The reporter then turned his gaze to him.

"Coach, I can't win the game alone, today DeAndre scored 9 points, 24 rebounds and 4 blocks, Devin scored 19 points, Paul 12 points, Corey 10 points and 4 steals, Jeff 14 points and 5 rebounds, I think the collective play of our players can make us win in such a critical game." Tang Shuai said modestly.

"Yes, tonight our players played very well, and of course, Don has always been so humble." Cassel said with a smile.

Kassel's praise made Tang Shuai's face blush slightly.

"Don, you're still doing well tonight, 30 points and 8 assists, can you tell us about your secret to consistently scoring high points against the Warriors' defense?" The reporter asked with a smile.

"30 points shouldn't be too much, right?" Tang Shuai opened his mouth and said that compared with the previous games, his score in this game can be said to be much less because he did not have a single consumption package.

"Actually, you've only had four rookies in the regular season and you're the only one in the playoffs." The reporter explained helplessly that this was the first time he had heard from a rookie that 30 points was not much.

As soon as the reporter said this, Tang Shuai was suddenly a little embarrassed, because he had been desperately scoring to help the team win, and these 30 points were indeed not much in his consciousness, but in fact, for a rookie, 30 points is already a lot of points, let alone the playoffs.

"I think the biggest reason tonight was our team doctor Jimmy, you know, the league doesn't allow players with bleeding to play in order to avoid blood infection, but Jimmy did it, and if you ask me to vote the MVP of the game, I think Jimmy is the undisputed one." Tang Shuai's joking statement covered up the problem just now.

Tang Shuai's humor suddenly caused the reporters to laugh, and the already relaxed atmosphere became more harmonious. (To be continued.) )
