Chapter 235: The First Round Playoffs Begin

When the problems of Wang Cannon and the media intensified, the NBA playoffs were also in full swing.

The playoffs have always been the highlight of the NBA, and if you want to watch a real basketball game and a real matchup, it must be the playoffs.

On April 29, the first round of the NBA playoffs officially started, and there were four games on this day, namely the Bulls at home against the 76ers, the Pacers at home against the Magic, the Thunder at home against the Grizzlies, and the Clippers at home against the Mavericks.

Among these four games, the most concerned is undoubtedly the game between the Clippers and the Mavericks.

This is not only because Wang Cannon made such a big deal before the playoffs, but more importantly, the comparison of the strength of these two teams is also the closest and most similar among the four teams.

Although the Mavericks' record this season is not good, after all, this is a team led by Nowitzki and Kidd, and no one dares to underestimate the Mavericks who almost pulled down the Heat last year.

In contrast, the games of the other three teams are probably only the Grizzlies and Thunder, which staged the Black Eight Miracle last year, and the games of the other two teams are not very interesting.

The well-packed Bulls are not something that the 76ers can shake, and the Magic, who are out of the game due to injury, have no ability to compete with the Pacers.

It is for this reason that from the beginning, most people's eyes were focused on the game between the Clippers and the Mavericks.

And before the game even started, there were already many reports that were unfavorable to the Clippers.

The reporters of the media are not gentlemen, and when they are sued, they can still report positively, especially the paparazzi-type gossip media.

As early as a few days ago, there were already many media reports in newspapers and on television. all expressed their "worries" about the future of the Clippers in this playoffs.

Some TV shows even invited so-called legends to analyze the current situation of the Clippers, and finally came to a conclusion that it was difficult for the Clippers to advance to the second round under the sniping of the Mavericks. Even if you are lucky enough to make it to the second round, you won't have much chance of winning in the second round against the Lakers, who are almost nine out of ten sure of making it to the second round.

The Clippers are still very young, although their strength is good, but for them, the current playoffs are not their world, Paul is okay, Griffin and Wang Cannon, they still need to hone for a long time to understand how to play in the playoffs.

These Clippers players don't care much. But when the playoffs began, the Clippers players were stunned to find that their home court didn't seem to be as powerful as they imagined.

To be exact, it should be that the fans on the court don't seem to be that enthusiastic, and before they even play, the Clippers players can faintly hear some boos, which are not for the Mavericks. It's for the Clippers!

"What's going on?" A lot of players, including manager Negro. I was very confused.

You know, with the strong rise of the Clippers this season, there are more and more people supporting the Clippers, and in some of the more important games in normal times, the Clippers' home court is almost full, and the atmosphere is quite good. Why is it that now that it's in the playoffs, it's become so bad?

Intrigued, Griffin made a phone call, and then understood what was going on.

He learned from a friend that tickets to the Clippers' home court weren't unsold. On the contrary, a long time ago, just after the Clippers and Mavericks confirmed the date of the playoff matchup, the Clippers began to sell tickets at home, and the tickets were bought quickly, so to speak, all of them were sold out in a blink of an eye, but many of them were not bought by Clippers fans.

Tickets to the NBA playoffs are expensive, but they are not a particularly big expense in the United States, especially for those who have enough to eat and have nothing to do.

Those who bought tickets before the Clippers fans were actually the ones who wanted to disgust the Clippers, and at the same time, they also had a title, and that was Lakers fans.

That's right! On the phone call of Griffin's friend, Griffin and the others heard it clearly, the guys who snapped up the best tickets in the court were all Lakers fans, and they did it just to simply demoralize the Clippers so that the Lakers could go further in the playoffs.

"Holy! You can come up with such a trivial thing? Wang Cannon was dumbfounded, and couldn't help but admire the imagination of these Lakers fans, admittedly, if you can't hear the cheers of the fans on your home court, I'm afraid you will feel uncomfortable with any team.

"Guys, I just heard bad news."

At this time, Negro also received a phone call, and then said to the players with a heavy tone: "Just now, there were about a thousand fans, blocked the door of the stadium, they didn't buy tickets, but they still went outside the stadium, to cheer us on!" ”

Hearing this, there was an immediate commotion in the Clippers' locker room.

"These bitches Lakers fans! It's so damning! The grumpy little Jordan scolded directly.

Whenever I think of thousands of fans who have no tickets and can only cheer them on outside the arena, every player on the Clippers has a heavy heart.

For basketball players, although they don't rely on fans to eat like singers and movie stars, fans are also very important to them, after all, these people who unconditionally support themselves and worship themselves are the most lovely.

"Guys! Listen to me! Paul was the first to say: "Our fans support us so much, of course we can't give them back with a defeat!" Isn't it? ”

"That's right!" The entire Clippers roster shouted at the same time, and there wasn't even a moment when they were hungry for a game win more than they were right now.

Wang Dacang clenched his fists even more, and said with a sneer: "Don't these Lakers fans want to see our good show?" All right! I'll let them watch a good show! ”

Looking at these vicious guys, Negro suddenly felt that Lakers fans seemed to be shooting themselves in the foot.

As expected, when the players came on the court, the response on the court was not satisfactory, although many Clippers fans cheered as best they could, but in comparison, those who desperately booed and wanted to disgust the Clippers players seemed more noticeable. (To be continued......)
