Chapter 939: Sweeping Promotion

"I really didn't expect the Los Angeles Clippers to have such a big gap with the Lakers, why didn't they see it in the regular season? This game almost lost by 70 points, I don't know what the expression of that guy in Sterling will be now, before the game started, he was clamoring to solve the Lakers in five games, and now it seems that the Lakers can send the Clippers home in four games at most."

"Yes, the Lakers are too strong, they are the strongest offensive team in NBA history, and the Clippers players are obviously not ready for the playoffs, after all, this is their first time, maybe they can't even play the regular season now, plus that Sterling has been yelling at the side, it's not surprising that this team is performing like this, they don't have any other possibilities for the Lakers"

The playoff derby between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Los Angeles Clippers is very eye-catching, especially for the Los Angeles locals, although most people are fans of the Los Angeles Lakers, but there is no doubt that it will be a very interesting experience for him to meet the Clippers in the playoffs, which is a very new feeling, but what they didn't expect was that the Los Angeles Clippers would be so brittle.

Therefore, at the end of this game, the Los Angeles Clippers really became the object of everyone's ridicule, no matter who said the big words before the game, at this time everyone directly equated Sterling's words with the words of this team. In this case, the situation that this team is experiencing now is also conceivable.

Of course, although now after the first game of the first round of the playoffs is over, everyone is talking about the laughing stock team of the first game, the Clippers, but at this time Zhuang Fei does not have too many such thoughts. The team is still young. This is the first time that their wave of players has made the playoffs. Whether it is experience or ability, it is far from enough, this is completely different from these configurations of the Lakers, even if it defeats such a team by a large score, there is indeed not much to be proud of, even if Zhuang Fei and the Lakers embarrass Sterling, but if a person is entangled with Sterling, that person's ability and IQ are not much better, so for the first game of this city derby, Zhuang Fei and the Lakers are very low-key.

But. Although the team that wins is low-key, it doesn't mean that the team that loses is very low-key, or that the team that loses has a low-key player and coach, but their owners are still very high-profile.

For the first loss of the playoffs, the owner of the Clippers expressed his anger, but this anger has nothing to do with the performance of the players on the court, he doesn't know why his team lost, he only knows that the team lost this game is ugly, he needs the team to win back in the next game, just how to win back. He wouldn't know, if he really knew. According to his personality, he would not have hired a coach.

Now I just don't know if the Lakers will lose even worse when the team that was almost defeated by 70 points on the road meets this Lakers again, but according to the situation in the last game, even if it loses, it may not lose so much.

"Zhuang, it seems that Sterling was still very unconvinced in the first game"

On April 25, 2005, the head coach's office of the Los Angeles Lakers, Lakers general manager Kupchak was very excited at this time, and the Lakers' first performance in the playoffs made him very excited, although the opponent was the Clippers, but this was also a playoff game, and the Lakers' score was not reduced in the slightest because it was a playoff reason, of course, except for these Lakers general managers and fans who were very happy about the Lakers winning, even after yesterday's game, The owner of the Los Angeles Lakers, Old Bus, was extremely excited to go to the Lakers locker room to express his condolences, Zhuang Fei They didn't know that the owner of the Lakers was tortured by Sterling for most of the game, of course, in addition to the Lakers avenging him, the Lakers were able to make this game garbage time in half a game is also a very proud thing.

"Mitch, how can you be as knowledgeable as that person" Looking at the general manager of the team in front of him, Zhuang Fei also felt a little funny and said, and at this time, the general manager of the Lakers was also a little embarrassed, indeed at this time he showed more enthusiasm to defeat Sterling than Zhuang Fei, and there was a sense that the emperor was not in a hurry and the eunuch was in a hurry.

"Zhuang, I think all of Los Angeles, except for you, I think there is no one in the whole of Los Angeles who doesn't hate this guy's big mouth, and isn't it clearly written in the newspaper, haven't you seen it?" Kupchak looked at Zhuang Fei with a calm face and said a little weakly.

"Well, since that's the case, then we'll just shut him up completely in the next game" At this time, Zhuang Fei also glanced at Kupchak and said with a smile.

Through the first game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Clippers, basically everyone saw the gap between this team and the Lakers, of course, except for Clippers owner Raheem Sterling, so basically this series can determine the final trend through the first game.

On April 27, 2005, the second game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Los Angeles Clippers, before the game began, when the Clippers owner Sterling appeared on the big screen on the scene, the Los Angeles Lakers fans booed, which also made the Clippers owner's face a little ugly.

However, in order to witness his team's defeat of the Lakers, the Clippers owner did not get mad in the face of the boos of the Lakers fans, but when the game started, when the starting lineup of the Los Angeles Lakers appeared, it made the Clippers owner who was quite indifferent even in the face of the Lakers' boos was completely blue.

"Kenny, I'm not mistaken, right? The Los Angeles Lakers started this game with Josh Smith, Grant Hill, Stephen Jackson, Mo Williams and Paul. With the exception of Hill, everyone else is off the bench, so Coach Z doesn't really think his bench can beat the Clippers, right? Barkley looked at the five Lakers players on the court, swallowing in amazement.

"If the Clippers can't even win against the Lakers' bench, then there's no need for Sterling to shout anymore, it's typical Coach Z's style" compared to Barkley's surprise on one side. Kenny Smith was calm. It seems that he can guess that Zhuang Fei will be like this.

"And. Don't forget, judging from the Lakers' rotation this season, this team has no substitutes and main players at all, and these people on the court have not performed badly in the regular season at all" Finally, Kenny Smith also said very meaningfully.

"Mitch, do you think we can win this game?" In the stands of Staples Arena, the owner of the Los Angeles Lakers, Old Bus, looked at Kupchak next to him with some curiosity and asked, this time he didn't choose to sit with Sterling as a landlord. Raheem Sterling scared him in the last game.

"I thought, if it's him. There must be no problem," Kupchak also groaned a little after hearing his boss's question, and then said with great confidence.

"Oh, I think so," said Kupchak, who also smiled and nodded.

The current management of the Los Angeles Lakers is absolutely different from that of the Clippers, and Zhuang Fei is now able to gain the trust of everyone, and these people are willing to trust him.

In this game, the Los Angeles Lakers replaced all the bench lineups except for Grant Hill, in this case, this game gave the Clippers a chance, and Dunleavy was willing to let his team take this opportunity, but he and his team were willing to take this opportunity. But it may not be able to be caught.

Because from the beginning of the game, in the opinion of the Clippers, the strength of this team should not be so strong. Paul and Grant Hill's continuous blocking and Josh Smith's blocking and breaking tactics have choked the Clippers enough, and the Clippers' outside line has been completely messed up again, even if the Lakers' outside line looks like it is all bench, but the Clippers still can't compare, and compared with the outside, the team's most important interior line is still not much better, Brand and Wilcox still don't let people see any hope that they can win this game, even if Webber is out of the game at this time.

But Hill and Josh Smith's crazy jumping ability under the basket simply shrouded the two of them enough, especially the Wilcox who played some roughly, the Clippers interior was almost stunned by Josh Smith and Hill, although Brand was better, but he didn't fully show his ability, he was the same as Battier Dunleavy Jr., and he was a little worried when he saw Grant Hill, the senior who taught them a lesson in the last game, After all, Hill's significance to Duke University is not much or even stronger than Jordan's significance to North Carolina, and to be honest, these three North Carolina players really don't have the courage of Stackhouse to challenge Jordan, plus it is the first time to play the playoffs, which is simply torture for some Clippers players to face the Lakers.

In this case, many people saw that the Clippers had a dozen after the Lakers released the bench lineup, who knows, 118-90 at the end of the game, the Clippers still lost by 28 points away, although it was much better than the first game, but this rout is still obvious, at least after the end of the third quarter of the game, Sterling, who left the bench angrily, declared his dissatisfaction with the game.

Although it is said that for the Clippers, it is unlucky to spray the Lakers in this year's playoffs, without the support of fans, the owner is a brain-dead, and the players always think that they can't play their abilities for various reasons.

For the Clippers, it is very difficult for them to change their fate in this series, after 0-2 away, they are basically out with one foot, which everyone understands, and in Los Angeles, their good Lakers game is inherently not in any time and place, as for the people, not to mention, the current Clippers can't even see the back of the Lakers in terms of people and this.

On April 30, 2005, it was the third game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Clippers, and this game was also the home game of the Clippers.

Although this game is the Clippers' home game, before the game starts, when all the fans enter the court, no one will see that this is the Clippers' home game, because except for a few scattered Clippers fans scattered around the court, the other fans are basically all wearing Lakers jerseys, they are here to support the Lakers, and this is also a sad thing for the Clippers.

However, in the face of their home court turnover, the Clippers seem to have been prepared for a long time, of course, in fact, there has been such a saying in Los Angeles or in the NBA, the Los Angeles Lakers have 43 home games in the regular season a season, and the extra two naturally belong to the Clippers.

Although the Clippers performed like scum in the first two games, this team does have good strength, otherwise it would not have broken through in the West and was able to beat the Kings, a team that is not weak, but for various reasons, this team is obviously a little unable to let go in the first two games.

And this game is already the third game of this series, and this game is obviously a lot more relaxed than the previous two games, and the pressure seems to be not so great, after all, before this game, Sterling did not shout before the game to teach the Lakers a lesson.

In this game, Zhuang Fei also sent all his starters, including Webb, Kobe, Hardaway and Szzebiak, all of whom also started the game, but even so, compared with the previous game, the Clippers did not have an early rout, and this team also played some playoff intensity.

And in the end, when the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Clippers 126-102 on the road, such a score was not ugly for this team.

"If they can behave like this from the beginning, this may be a very exciting series" At the end of this game, Zhuang Fei also said with some emotion, this Clippers are indeed very potential, but I just don't know if Sterling can give them room to grow in the end.

Of course, potential is potential, and for now, the Clippers still have a long way to go, at least compared to the Lakers, they are still far, far behind.

The third game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Clippers can be regarded as creating some trouble for the Lakers, but this kind of trouble is not a big trouble, but the inside line that they have not opened is considered to be open.

And on May 2, the fourth game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Clippers away, this game is the best game of the Clippers in this series, especially the team's boss Brand, he finally let go of his hands and feet on the offensive end and was able to attack on his own very well, which also created a lot of offensive space for Wilcox, Webb and Hill, who had been able to suppress these two people in the first three games, and this game could not be suppressed.

In this case, at the end of the half, the game should have been scorching if it weren't for the Lakers' better rotation, and even after full-time, the Los Angeles Lakers only beat the Clippers 120-104.

"This is the playoffs as it should be," Zhuang Fei looked at the Clippers players on the court who were a little lost after the game, and nodded slightly.

"Coach, we have won now, I didn't expect it to be so easy to enter the second round" Green, who was on the side, also said with a smile at this time, although the Clippers found some self in the next two games, but overall did not create too many difficulties for the Lakers.

"Yes, but the next game will not be so easy" In the end, Zhuang Fei also smiled and nodded. Will the next opponent be a Raptors or a supersonic? Neither team can match the Clippers. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
