Chapter 85: Playoffs Preview

Time flies, the Clippers who lost Byron are struggling to persevere, Griffin won another Player of the Week in March, and the average data per game is also maintained at the level of 27+14+4, which is already a first-line star in the league. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Although the team is in a difficult situation, winning one game and losing one, but in the most critical March, the Clippers won two tough battles against the Hornets and the Grizzlies, firmly occupying the seventh place, the Hornets and Grizzlies followed closely behind, and the Portland Trail Blazers won 2 games worse than the Clippers, so the playoff spots should be produced in the three teams of the Clippers, Grizzlies and Hornets.

In the days when there are a few regular season games left, fans of various teams are nervous, because they are concerned about how far their teams can go, but it may be a surprise for fans in Los Angeles, the Clippers are currently ranked seventh in the West, and if this ranking does not change, the playoffs will play against the Lakers, who are ranked second in the West, which can only be described as exciting, and it will be a wonder when the home and away games are all home.

The Clippers are all striving for this goal now, and it doesn't matter which opponent they face in the playoffs, because the goal this year is to get into the playoffs, and everything else is good, as long as you can win one game in the playoffs, it will be a huge victory.

Entering the playoffs Adidas will also reward Griffin with $100W, which is one of the reward clauses written in the contract at the time, and entering the playoffs means more attention, and greater attention means more money, maybe the Adidas team would like the regular season to end now, and directly announce the Lakers vs Clippers.

"There are not a few games left, do you think we can make the playoffs this year, we haven't made the playoffs after more than 2 years." Gordon is usually very sullen, but now he can't hold back the excitement in his heart.

"The playoffs are good, as long as I perform well in the playoffs, more people will follow me on Instagram." Jordan Jr. is now on the right track, firmly occupying the team's starting position, and is becoming more and more proficient with Griffin, but this is a pain for Kaman.

Griffin didn't say much, just silently clenched his fists, he was only one step away from the playoffs last season, and this year he is going to make the playoffs anyway, and only players who have experienced the taste of victory will become more and more obsessed with this feeling.

After the home team sent the Wilhelm Suns, there are only 3 games left for the Clippers this season, and because of the win against the Suns, the Clippers' seventh position is becoming more and more secure, and the possibility of the Hornets entering the playoffs is only theoretical, of course, if the Clippers lose three games in a row, it will be another matter.

However, in the next game, the Clippers just had a wave of Grizzlies in front of the home court, narrowly defeating the Grizzlies 103:110, Griffin scored 42 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals.

After this game, the Clippers have stabilized into the playoffs, and the eighth position is grabbed by the Grizzlies and Hornets, so after the game, the Clippers' official Twitter posted a picture of Griffin's back with his fists on the court after the game.

It was accompanied by a line of text, "Playoffs, here we come!" ā€ć€‚

Griffin's fan website also reposted this official tweet in a timely manner, so that more Griffin fans can see it, and fans in China also know that Griffin brought the Clippers into the playoffs, plus the reasons that have been accumulating, Griffin's popularity in China is now one of the most popular players of the new generation.

Everyone who completed the pre-game goals received bonuses from the team, from the working group to the players, and the team also had a fun party that night to celebrate the team's return to the playoffs after many years!

The party was an open-air barbecue, with beautiful lights illuminating the lawn, professional DJs playing the right amount of music, and a lot of valuable wine.

Griffin drank a fair amount, so he was a little drunk by the end of the party, and the team sent a driver to deliver Griffin to the door of the community.

"Mr. Griffin, I'd better send you in, you see it's getting dark too."

"No Pike! I can go back myself, I'm not drunk yet, and I'm just going for a walk! You can rest assured. ā€

"This.... Okay, Mr. Griffin, you have to be safe, and congratulations again on making the playoffs, and I'll have your back! ā€

"Haha, thank you, Pike! I'll invite you to come and watch the game! ā€

People who said they weren't drunk were usually a little drunk, and Griffin walked home step by step, and when he reached the door, he saw that there was still a figure in the garden of Field next door.

If you look closely, it's not Mary or anyone, it seems that she is walking in the garden, and her plump body is shaking so that Griffin's heart is about to fly.

"Madame Mary, don't you go back to bed so late?" Griffin asked Mary through the fence.

"yes, I just put the kids to sleep, come out to breathe and go to sleep again, just after the party, I heard, congratulations on making the playoffs."

"Thanks, Mary, where's Field? How did he not accompany you. ā€

"Oh.... He had something going on in his company, so he didn't come back today. ā€

After the two said this, there was a little silence for a while, maybe Griffin didn't know what to say for a while, maybe Mary thought that Griffin might be going back to the house to sleep, so the two of them stared at each other like this, and before they knew it, Mary's face also had a hint of red.

"Mary, you're so pretty...," Griffin said in a daze, something that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.

"Huh? .... Thank you Blake, it's not too early, I need to go back to sleep, you can rest early, good night! With that, Mary fled back to her room.

Griffin didn't think it was right to say it, but it was impossible to remember it when he was drunk, and by the time Griffin rubbed his slightly sore head the next morning, it had already been forgotten.

A few days later, the final games of the NBA were officially over, and the Clippers finished their last two games with one win and one loss, and finally entered the 2011 playoffs with a 46-36 record and a record of seventh in the West!

The Hornets failed to hold on, failed to fight back against the Grizzlies at the last moment, and were driven out of the playoffs by the Clippers and Grizzlies in the last week.

Some people are happy and some are worried, and the Clippers are naturally very happy, even if their playoff opponent has been determined to be the Lakers, who are second in the West, this special playoff matchup has also attracted media attention.

"Lakers, Clippers, rare playoff matchup!"

"Derby in the same city, big brother Haoqiang and cutting-edge brother, who can have the last laugh."

"The Lakers have 4 hidden dangers, and the Clippers may have a black eight probability?"

For a while, all kinds of news headlines flew all over the sky, and fans naturally tore each other apart.

"To be reasonable, just with the Clippers now, strangle Griffin, and the Clippers will be finished."

"Upstairs is not rough, and Griffin played very well in the regular season, but the playoffs are completely different from the regular season, and Griffin is expected to be limited to 20 points."

"Sit and wait for the grave upstairs to be dug up and slapped in the face, and don't cry when the time comes."

Fans aside, ESPN experts also gave their own opinions, which are also shared by industry peers.

"First of all, the young Clippers don't have the strength to wrestle with the Lakers, maybe in a few years, but it doesn't show now, the Clippers' current core players have not experienced a playoff experience, it will be a new experience, so I predict that the Lakers will win the Clippers 4:1."

"But Griffin may have a good performance, the playoffs will be more physically tested, the scale of the penalty will be different, and Griffin's offensive skills are becoming more and more comprehensive, when he adapts to the rhythm, it will be difficult for the Lakers Twin Towers to limit Griffin, who has unlimited firing rights."

In general, the Lakers won, Griffin has good data, and when the report reached Griffin, Griffin was extremely serious.... Nodding.

"The analysis is very reasonable, reasonable, and convincing, so I'll reluctantly get the data!"

Sam's eyes are about to roll up as soon as the staff is dry!
