Chapter 149: Preparing for the Western Conference Finals

The Clippers defeated the Thunder with a total score of 4-1 in the semifinals to advance to the finals, becoming the first team to advance to the finals, and their opponents will be produced between the Spurs and the Trail Blazers, but as it stands, the Trail Blazers have no chance.

If it goes along with the Spurs and the Trail Blazers tomorrow, the Spurs will not give the Trail Blazers a chance to extend the score in the fifth game between the two sides.

The next game is home to the Spurs, and they won't lose once and then lose one after the other.

Their coach Bo. Povich would never allow such a thing to happen to the Spurs.

The next night, the Clippers will gather at Rivers' home to watch the Spurs' game against the Trail Blazers, which can be regarded as a pre-game warm-up to see their opponent's recent style of play and the routine of the game.

The game was as speculated by outsiders, and after the two sides played each other in the first quarter, the Spurs quickly established an advantage in the second quarter.

The half-time lead was in near double digits, and after three quarters, the advantage was extended to 15 points, and finally the opponent was defeated by 22 points.

At 104:82, the Spurs bid farewell to the Portland Trail Blazers with a big win, and also completed their own path to the finals.

Portland's players have worked hard, but they have no choice but to meet the old Spurs, this relatively young team still needs more run-in, and next season, they will definitely be better.

"Tell me about the players you think are the most noteworthy for the other side." Rivers turned off the TV and turned to look at the group of players behind him.

Paul was the first to speak, "Parker, at least in my eyes, this guy is getting more and more sophisticated. In particular, his breakthrough shots are always unexpected. ”

"I feel like Duncan, and if you don't make a move, it's enough. As soon as you make a move, there will definitely be. Griffin also spoke, "This guy is also getting older and more sophisticated, which is unpredictable." ”

"I don't think so. Although Leonard, the newcomer on the other side, is also a young man, he is a rookie who has to be guarded against like our Chen, this guy is very aggressive, but in my opinion, our Chen is countless times more fierce than him. Davis thought for a moment and said half-jokingly.

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Griffin even leaned in front of Davis and whispered, "Why are you so fierce?" And do you know the level of his fierceness? Don't you two ......?"

"Bastard, dirty, what thoughts!" In an instant, Davis's countless white eyes fluttered like the wind, and they all threw on Griffin.

Rivers clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention: "Our opponent has been selected, and the schedule for the match will also come on the 20th, and I want each of you to do some targeted training for the defensive players in your mind." Don't play around, you know? ”

"Don't worry, coach, I basically can't get out of the gym even if I usually do, you must know that I am a man who loves sports." Davis patted his chest and said.

The eyes of everyone were fixed on his stomach, and they looked at the fat man in front of him with deep meaning.

"......" Davis blushed slightly, "This has nothing to do with my figure, my daily energy intake far exceeds the energy consumed, so I can't help it, besides, what's wrong with the fat man?" Fat people also have their own advantages, right? ”

Davis turned to look at Chen Lei at the end of his words. However, Chen Lei looked up at the roof and whistled as if he hadn't heard it.

"......" Davis.

The five-day break is a long time for the players, at least for the long-awaited Western Conference Finals.

Most of them are in the finals for the first time, and even Paul has never experienced a final. Therefore, many of these players will wake up laughing because of excitement when they sleep at night.

Of course, this does not stop them from going out to play and relaxing, and they upload photos of their games on Twitter every day. Compared to the quieter Spurs, they are obviously much happier, much happier.

San Antonio. Spurs Training Gym.

All the Spurs will be here, including two players from outside the squad. The Spurs didn't enjoy the vacation after the win but were hit by the waves. Povich called them all to the training gym.

In the same way that the Clippers study them, they will also have to analyze their future opponents before the game.

"Winning and making it to the Western Conference Finals, it wasn't something I expected, the lads are great, and you should really bring a big red flower to each of you." Wave. Povich smiled and looked at the players next to him, "This is our first training session after the semi-finals, and it is also the first training camp since this little holiday, okay, don't look at me like that, I promise you will get your own private rest time after today's training, OK?" ”

Wave. Povich's opening remarks say a lot, but they go against his character.

As one of the most distinctive of the NBA's many coaches, Bo. Povich is playing out his own legend in San Antonio.

The coach who has led the Spurs to four championships during his 18-year tenure at the helm of the Spurs, and the regular season position at No. 1 in the West is commonplace, and his coaching career has been almost entirely dedicated to the Holy City and the Spurs.

Now he is leading the team towards the Finals again, and today is to talk about their opponents in the Western Conference Finals, warm up the players, and get vaccinated.

"The next opponent, the Clippers, I have a few photos here, so you can play freely and talk about how to limit them." Wave. Povic pasted several photos in his hand to the tactical board, the first one was Paul, the second was Griffin, the third was Jordan Jr., and the fourth was Chen Lei.

Although the four people in the photo are arranged first and then later, almost most of everyone's eyes are still on Chen Lei, this rookie is surrounded by countless halos this year.

"Let's make a little game and each person will take one of the magnet stickers there and put them under the picture of the player you feel is most dangerous." Wave. Povich said, pointing to the magnet under the tactical board.

Everyone stepped forward in turn to make a choice, Paul 5 votes, Griffin 3 votes, Jordan Jr. 1 vote, Chen Lei 6 votes.

"Oh? Let's talk about why most people think it's this rookie. "Wave. Povich looked at the crowd in front of him curiously.

"He's got the quality, whether it's against the Thunder or the Warriors, he doesn't show the ability that a rookie should have, it's a tough opponent, I firmly believe in." Dior said, looking at the smiling fat man in the photo, "But I seem to be fatter than me." ”

"Does it matter? What matters is the steadiness of this guy. Green glanced at Dior and continued, "His offense is still shooting at a high rate of 60% per game, you know, although he is an interior player, his long-range offense is also zài, and if I remember correctly, his three-point ability has broken through 80%, especially the last two games with the Thunder were three consecutive three-pointers at the end of the fourth quarter, I really doubt that he is an alien." ”

Everyone nodded when they heard Green's words, and it was obvious that they agreed with the last sentence. (To be continued......)
