On the evening of May 21, just after the end of G2 of the Western Conference Finals, the crowd at Staples Arena celebrated the Clippers' victory.

At 98:108, through the excellent play in the first quarter, the Clippers always held the lead firmly and finally successfully protected their home court.

Chris Paul played 34 minutes in this game, and Coach De Nagro did not have a strong head, which also made Paul, who was in a somewhat physical condition, gradually find his rhythm in the next three quarters of the game.

6 of 14 from the field, including 2 of 5 three-pointers, 4 of 6 free throws, 18 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 1 turnover.

Therefore, in an interview with ESPN reporters after the game, Paul also seemed very happy:

"We're a great team, even though it's my first Western Conference Finals, I'm confident I'm in control of the team's tempo, the Spurs have a lot of experience, but we've protected the home, away games, and our goal is to get a win."

Answering in a modest manner, the ESPN reporter smiled and nodded, then asked another question:

"What's it like to play with Kayce at the back? This season, everyone always compares the Thunder to the Clippers, and now they are leading 2-0 in the Western Conference Finals, what do you think about this? ”

"Excellent! Kayce is a super scorer who has raised the ceiling for our team and let us not have to worry about attack. ”

"Now we just need to do our job, the team is on the right path, and of course, we still have a long way to go against the Thunder, they have two championships and we haven't done our job yet."

Paul replied simply with a smile again, although the big score is 2-0 ahead, he knows how difficult it is for the team to win, if Li Ze scores 30 points, maybe the Clippers will be cold

When Paul returned to the locker room, Steve Ballmer immediately patted him on the shoulder and said excitedly:

"Perfect match! I'm so proud of everyone, God! We're already 2-0 ahead and we have a chance to reach the finals! ”

“Wow！ I promise everybody that the team is going to get better and better, that we're going to have our own court, and we're going to rebuild the Clippers' culture. ”

The old man was excited to draw a pie, but everyone on the Clippers thought that this pie might really be realized, considering this man's net worth.

After all, the team will definitely pay the luxury tax next year, maintain the three salary caps, and with the right rotation players, maybe the Clippers' salary will catch up with the Lakers

"Kayce, our superstar, I guarantee the best player in the league will always play for the Clippers, Come on! Let's win this series, the grand finale is already beckoning! ”

The old man first shook his fist, and then began to applaud passionately, the staff immediately followed suit, and Li Ze and the Clippers also coaxed, no matter what the offseason was, now everyone just wants to reach the finals.

In the NBA, most fans will only remember the victory, and ESPN, as the broadcaster of the Western Conference Finals, was frantically praising Li Ze's performance just after the game ended.

Shortly after the end of the game, the bleachers (B/R) immediately updated a poster on INS, with a picture of Li Ze breaking through Duncan's defense to complete the breakthrough dunk, with the data of this game, and finally sent a text with a picture:

"Witness greatness! Superstars rule the game again! 3 MVPs! (？ )FMVP？ ”

Although the whistle in the second half was indeed a little off, how could the fans pay attention to these things, and everyone was attracted by Li Ze's high score.

As for Popovich's complaints, no one cares at all, except for Spurs fans discussing them.

What's more, if there is no whistle in the home field advantage, everyone will not have to fight hard for the regular season record

The Clippers have more than three days of rest before the game officially starts on the 25th G3.

On the evening of the 22nd, the Eastern Conference Finals G1, which fans were looking forward to, finally began.

It was a fierce game, with Paul George hitting a crucial three-pointer in the final minute to help the Pacers equalize.

At 92:92, the two sides went into overtime, and then the two sides fought until the final moments, with 6.8 seconds left in the game, George Hill steals Norris Cole, and Paul George finally caused Wade to foul and get three free throws.

With all three free throws to make it 102-101, the Pacers were just 2.2 seconds away from victory.

However, at the last moment, there was a problem with the defense, and LeBron James continued to break through and beat the whistle!

At 102:103, the Heat won the game with difficulty and successfully protected their home court.

Paul George was 7-of-16 from the field, including 3-of-6 from three-point range and 10-of-11 from the free-throw line, for 27 points, four rebounds, five assists and six turnovers.

David West also had 26 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 4 turnovers on 11-of-17 shooting, while center Roy Hibbert also had 19 points, 9 rebounds and 2 blocks on 9-of-18 shooting.

It's a pity that the Pacers, who blossomed a lot, lost the game in the end, and for Amerika's sports media, this game is simply heavenly!

LeBron James, who played 47 minutes, made 12 of 24, including 2 of 6 three-pointers and 4 of 7 free throws, stepped up at critical moments, and finally cut a triple-double of 30 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, 3 blocks and 4 turnovers!

This game has just ended, the heat exploded directly, everyone was crazy to praise James's performance, and the Chosen One proved himself again!

The media reporters on the wall seem to have forgotten the previous ridicule of James, victory can cover everything!

Li Ze took Anne to Paul's house as a guest, and the two also watched the game, maybe everyone saw LeBron James's wonderful performance, but Paul said with emotion:

"9 of 15, 19 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, 1 block and 3 turnovers, Wade is in good shape this year, Bosh is 6 of 11, got 17 points, 2 rebounds and 2 blocks, Chris Anderson is 7 of 7, cutting 16 points, the rotation lineup is also playing well, and the Heat team has successfully run-in."

Of course, Li Ze knows the state of the Heat, this season has played a 24-game winning streak, and it is clear that LeBron James has completely mastered the Heat, and the three have made sacrifices to each other, and this year may be the peak of bro basketball!

"It's still the same, the Heat definitely won't win too easily, 15 points in the second quarter, the offense and the power outage, the last two years against each other, this has happened a lot, and now it seems that the Heat still haven't been able to solve this problem."

Paul nodded when he heard Li Ze's words, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart Li Ze's scoring stability, he realized why the Thunder team was able to sweep the Heat team for two consecutive years.

As long as the lead is taken, the difference between the points is widened to about 10 points, and the two sides play in response, Li Ze has not been soft, plus the Thunder and Durant, the two scoring champions are replaced, and the Heat team really can't compare

It's just that when he thinks of the situation of the Clippers, Paul is always a little worried, he knows his ability very well, plus Griffin is injured, and he is always worried about a sudden capsizing, after all, it is not common for a veteran to be online like G2.

When Anne drove Li Ze home, the black-haired royal sister who was driving suddenly sighed:

"Time flies, you're almost 23 years old, but fortunately you're back in Los Angeles, I like life now, how about we have a baby?"

Li Ze, who was eating popcorn, was almost choked, but when he heard this life-threatening question, he could only express his position immediately:

"Everything is God's will! As long as fate comes, we will have children! ”

The black-haired royal sister glanced at Li Ze angrily, and said with a complaint:

"You don't believe in God at all! Obviously we are unprotected and we are very healthy, so maybe I have to go to church and pray this week. ”

When Li Ze heard that Anne was going to the church to deliver money again, he suddenly smiled evilly and said:

"Maybe it has something to do with the environment, we can try something new here in this Bugatti Veyron tonight!"

Anne, who was driving, couldn't help but stretch out her right hand, twisted Li Ze, and complained with a slightly red face:

"I'm not going to do such a ridiculous thing with you!"

“.”

On the other side of the ocean, after LeBron James defeated the Pacers, the tiger pounce became Zhan pounce again, and the James who had been suppressed for many years raised their eyebrows today:

"I'm Zhan Niu X! Complete the lore and get three more pairs! ”

"Heat Championship! It's amazing, 2.2 seconds to kill the game, I'm invincible. ”

"What's there to brag about, Li Ze killed the Grizzlies in 1.1 seconds, and I didn't see you post."

"The Big Three are invincible! The Heat dynasty is about to begin! It's useless for anyone to come this year. ”

"It's coming, it's coming again, how many times has it been? Of the 7 that were promised back then, I haven't seen a single one now. ”

"Hehe, if I Zhan could team up with the scoring champion, I would have won the championship a long time ago!"

"Teammates CBA? Wasn't Wade the scoring champion in the 08~09 season? ”

"The Heat are all up to me, and Wade and Bosh are long gone, otherwise they wouldn't have lost in the past two years."

"Forgot about 8 points again? Lost two championships in a row, and even James came out for a loan? ”

“.”

Maybe the Clippers don't have enough stars, and Griffin's injury has made Heat fans start jumping up and down, but of course, this year is indeed the best opportunity for James.

The Thunder are disintegrating, the Heat are at their peak, and neither the Spurs nor the Clippers look too strong, after all, the Heat Big Three are all in a healthy state.

In this case, LeBron James, who had just beaten the Pacers, appeared in high spirits in an interview with ESPN on the sidelines, and even made a direct guarantee:

"You know, I've always been a big player, and at the same time, thank you to the coaching staff for putting together a great strategy for us and to my team-mates for fighting until the end."

"The Eastern Conference Finals are just the beginning, we're going to make it to the Finals and win the championship! I'll keep my promise! ”

The team won, Wade was also very happy, and during the interview, he also shouted loudly to the camera:

"Hey! We're going to keep winning! ”

Obviously, without the old bitter master of the Thunder team, the confidence of the Big Three has increased greatly! Bosh was also laughing, and the American Airlines arena was jubilant that night.

There were no games on May 23, and the NBA took the opportunity to announce the Defensive Team of the Season:

On the back line, Chris Paul and Li Ze were successfully selected;

Up front, LeBron James and Serge Ibaka;

The center forward is Marc Gasol.

It's still the same old rules, the steal king, the block king, and DPOY were selected again, plus Li Ze, who has won 27 consecutive games, and LeBron James, who has won 24 consecutive games, the best defensive team is impeccable.

With the same score, there were six players in the best defensive second team:

Mike Conley, Tony Allen, Russell Sbruck, Paul George, Tim Duncan, Joaquin Noah.

Li Ze did bring a butterfly effect, and although the turtle still needed the ball, he regained his defensive attitude in college.

Regardless of what the future holds, this season Turtle's defensive intent has not decreased in the slightest compared to the championship season.

The 37-year-old Duncan was selected for the second defensive team, and once again showed his influence, compared to his past, his form has indeed declined, but compared to others, the old man is still an excellent defender.

The Grizzlies had three members of the All-Defensive Team and the Clippers had two of them named to the All-Defensive Team, and fans saw this result and briefly reviewed the previous Western Conference semifinals and found that the two sides did show excellent defense.

The fans of both teams were overjoyed, especially the Grizzlies fans, and it was very difficult for the small ball market to have so many good players.

The Clippers updated the posters of Li Ze and Paul on the official website for the first time, and also posted a tweet:

"Offensive and defensive integration, the strongest backfield in the league! (Crown.jpg) #新的国王#快船队伐木累"

Li Ze couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth when he saw this tweet, and he always felt that the king was about to become a wholesale

On May 24th, the Clippers depart for San Antonio, where they will play a G3 game tomorrow night.

The Eastern Conference Finals G2 also officially started that night.

To the disappointment of Heat fans, the Pacers managed to get an away win that night with excellent defense.

At 97:93, after the Pacers won the game, they successfully pulled the big score to 1:1.

Roy Hibbert dominated the interior in this game, shooting 10-of-15 from the field and scoring 29 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist and 4 turnovers, completely blowing up the Heat's interior.

Paul George was 9-of-16 from the field and finished with 22 points, 2 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 turnovers.

Coupled with the fact that other players also played well, the Pacers, who blossomed more points, gave the Heat a slap in the face.

LeBron James, who played 45 minutes, also performed very well:

14 of 20, including 3 of 7 three-pointers and 5 of 7 free throws, scored 36 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals, 1 block and 5 turnovers, shooting 70% from the field!

Despite losing the game, after the game, many Jamie shouted again:

"The Heat lost! I didn't lose! ”

On May 25th, the NBA league once again announced the best team for the 2012~2013 season:

The five players in the best formation are:

Chris Paul, Lee, Kevin Durant, LeBron James, Tim Duncan.

The five players in the best second team are:

Russell Westbrook, Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony, Blake Griffin, Marc Gasol.

The top three players are:

Tony Parker, Dwyane Wade, James Harden, Paul George, Dwight Howard.

As soon as the best lineup was announced, the Cormies were fried:

"Why is the Volute in the second formation?"

The Comies were not satisfied, Howard was also almost blown up, he was still on the first team last season, but he came to Los Angeles and fell to the third team, is there any reason?

However, Amérika's sports media didn't have much doubt about the lineup.

It's just that many people sigh that if the Thunder team hadn't disintegrated, they would have won three consecutive championships this season without any suspense!

In the 2012~2013 season, Durant averaged 28.1 points, 4.6 assists, 1.4 steals, 1.3 blocks and 3.5 turnovers per game.

He averaged 17.7 shots per game while shooting 51 percent from the field, 41.6 percent from three-point range and 90.5 percent from the free throw line.

This is also the second youngest 180 club record after Li Ze!

This season, Li Ze averaged 22.6 shots per game for the league's first, even if some were given to Durant, the two of them as the end point, just by single, maybe they could kill all teams.

Coupled with the second-defense turtle turtle who averaged 23.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, 7.4 assists, 1.8 steals and 3.3 turnovers per game, and Ibaka, the king of blocks and the first defense, the Thunder team may crush all opponents at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.

"Management eat! You ruined the dynasty team with your own hands! ”

On the night of the 25th, everyone on the Clippers was celebrating the selection of Li Ze and Paul to the best team, and Griffin to the best second team.

In that night's game, the Clippers were directly shot by the Spurs.

At 102:113, the Spurs, who returned to their home court, easily defeated the Clippers and tied the series at 1:2.

At 37:48 in this game, Coach Popovich seemed to have found the weakness of the Clippers, no longer emphasizing defense too much, and strengthening rebounding and three-point shooting.

Tim Duncan grabbed seven frontcourt rebounds alone, and the furious old man completely blew up Turyaf and Jordan Jr.

Although the score was not high, only 12 points, 14 rebounds, it was really bad.

Although Tony Parker scored just six points on 2-of-8 shooting, Gary Neal on the bench played insanely.

9-of-17, including 6-of-10 three-pointers, and scored 24 points efficiently!

Throughout the game, the Spurs shot 16-of-32 from three-point range and shot 50 percent from the field, and Popovich, a bad old man, killed the game in another way after making adjustments.

The game had just ended, and the crowd at the AT Center Arena was still shouting wildly for the home team's victory.

For Spurs fans, tonight's hearty victory once again gave them hope of reaching the Finals!

Li Ze shook hands with everyone on the Spurs with a calm expression, and the crazy three-point shot could indeed win the game, but he didn't believe that the Spurs would be ready for the next series.

Although he doesn't have a lot of game experience, in terms of playoff experience, Li Ze, who has played in the Western Conference Finals for three consecutive years, is no longer a rookie who will panic if he loses a game.

Back in the locker room, noticing that Chris Paul was a little annoyed, Li Ze sat back in his seat, pulled the ice pack casually, and comforted the other party with a smile:

"Don't pay too much attention to the opponent's three-point shot, 50% shooting is not common!"

Chris Paul patted his thigh and said with some frustration:

"It's my problem, we shouldn't have followed the opponent's three-point shot, we lost our rhythm of the game."

Billups on the side seemed to recall the Spurs in the 05~06 season, and said with a sigh in his heart:

"Unbelievable! The Spurs would choose to shoot a lot of three-pointers, and maybe I was really outdated. ”

Losing a game so simply also made Amerika's sports media turn into a wall again, and they all fell to the Spurs, and TNT made a post-game commentary after the game:

"As I expected, the Spurs will win this series!"

"The 37-year-old Duncan has blown up the interior of the Clippers, and if I were Steve Ballmer, I would have signed a few more tough big men in the offseason, and rebounding is key!"

Charles Barkley once again criticized the Clippers' interior line, and O'Neal on the side chuckled and immediately agreed:

"I agree with Chuck, I don't want to emphasize the low-post offensive ability anymore, but Andrew Jordan also has a problem with the rebounding position, and I can only say that the league's interior line has withered, and in the past, big men who could only jump stupidly couldn't get so much money."

Kenny Smith heard the two of them talk more and more crookedly, and began to discuss how much money the big man in the past could get in the current league, and immediately coughed lightly, and said helplessly:

"Alright, guys! With 50% of their outside shots, no one can withstand such an offense, and I think there's something wrong with the Clippers' outside defense! ”

Host Ernnie Johnson immediately took over the conversation, looked at the technical statistics in his hand, and praised Popovich's adjustment:

"The Spurs completely changed their tactics in the first two games, with Leonard and Danny Green showing dynamism."

"When Kayce switched to Leonard in the second half, Danny Green exploded, scoring 24 points on 8-of-15 shooting, including 6-of-9 three-pointers."

"Leonard didn't score much, only 11 points, but grabbed 10 rebounds, and had three frontcourt layups in the first half, Popovich's adjustment was very effective!"

When Charles Barkley heard the words of the two, he immediately laughed, and then said in a mocking tone:

"Do you guys think the Clippers are going to win the series?"

"I'm not sure, maybe the two sides will fight to the end!"

“.”

Li Ze just won the honor of the double team, and the fans of the Celestial Empire on the other side of the ocean were all overjoyed, but after losing this game, some sunspots on the Tiger Pounce Forum couldn't help it:

"It's not reasonable to play at all, 28 shots, it's strange to win!"

"It's still me Zhan who has comprehensive skills and can drive his teammates, and the Heat team is stable."

"Jamie get out! 16-of-28 from the field and 2-of-4 from three-point range, is there a problem with that shooting percentage? More than 50% of shots 30 times are no problem! ”

"Why pass? With Paul here, Li Ze is responsible for scoring, 43 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 3 turnovers, can this data also be black? ”

"8 of 27 from the outside, the Clippers shouldn't throw three-pointers, Li Zeniu X! This season, I won the MVP! ”

"Li Ze is the same as Kobe, he will definitely not be able to win the ball with a high score alone."

"What's wrong with the volute? 5 championships! 5 is greater than 0, don't touch the porcelain! ”

Although the Clippers lost the game, the headlines of the night still belonged to Li Ze.

The NBA league also released a poster of Li Ze on INS, listing Li Ze's current honors, accompanied by a line of text:

"Witness greatness! 4 years 3 for a while!! ”

At the same time, the official Twitter of the NBA league listed in detail Li Ze's current honors, and by the way, he compared LeBron James' rookie four years.

LeBron James was selected as an All-Star three times in the first 4 years of his career, twice as a second team to the All-Star team, and once as a first-team selection, and was comprehensively suppressed by Li Ze.

Some James thought that Li Ze's two championships were all won from James, and suddenly broke the defense.

This tweet had just been sent out for a minute, and Durant, who was fishing for boredom and swiping Twitter in advance, took the lemon again, and then immediately reposted it casually with a comment:

"Young King (Crown.jpg)"

Immediately after that, Turtle, Love, and Holiday followed and forwarded it for the first time, and a large number of young players all began to follow Durant's comments, and for a while, they were all "young kings" that night.

On the morning of the 26th, although LeBron James announced that he would not watch social media during the playoffs, everyone on the Heat team did not have this habit, and everyone would naturally gossip about Li Ze's achievements.

LeBron James likes to use King to describe himself after entering the league, but it seems that he has become obsessed with the king before he has officially become a king over the years.

At lunch, I saw my good brother Wade scrolling Twitter, and after a casual glance, I saw a bunch of "young kings", and I was almost angry.

Looking at the sullen James, Wade didn't know how to comfort him, after all, he had lost a lot of honor in the past two years.

In the game that night, the Heat team that was fighting away broke out with all the members, 114:96, easily defeated the Pacers, and the big score came to 2:1, regaining the initiative.

LeBron James was 8-of-17 from the field and finished with a mediocre 22 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists.

And Paul George, who performed well in the first two games, was completely limited and entered a super ghost state.

3 of 10, got 13 points, two rebounds, 8 assists and 5 turnovers, the statistics looked good, but he was almost completely suppressed by James on both offensive and defensive ends.

Li Ze's 4 years and 3 for a while of the craze have not passed, and on the night of the 27th, the Clippers were directly knocked down by technology.

Popovich, the bad old man, had a complete showdown, and he directly put on a large and four small lineup that night:

Tony Parker and Ginobili partner in the backcourt, with Danny Green and Kawhi Leonard up front and Tim Duncan at center.

GDP combined, Leonard played to the No. 4 position, and this starting lineup looked stupid to coach De Nagro.

Split almost fell out of the rotation, and the Spurs were almost in the seven-man rotation, and in such a crucial game, the starting lineup's playing time directly increased to about 40 minutes.

Tony Parker, who has been aggrieved for a few games, completely broke out under this system of 5 outside the lineup, 10 of 14, and scored 26 points, 1 rebound, 5 assists and 3 turnovers.

And the most embarrassing thing for the Clippers coaching staff is that when Leonard defended to the No. 4 position, Turiaf couldn't complete the big and small, and as for Jordan Jr., he couldn't punish the interior of this lineup.

Coupled with the almost infinite rotation of defense on the outside, the Spurs forward line took turns to defend Li Ze, and his physical condition has also improved.

This small lineup completely fooled the Clippers, 102:114, the Spurs easily protected their home court and successfully pulled the big score to a 2:2 draw.

Paul was 8-of-17 in the last game, including 2-of-6 three-pointers and 4-of-4 free throws, and finished with 22 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists.

6-of-18, including 1-of-4 three-pointers, 4-of-6 free throws, 17 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 turnovers, Paul was completely lost in the Spurs' switch.

Ameika's sports media were all singing the praises of the Spurs, and some of the doubts about Duncan's ability to make the All-Match team all died down.

7-of-10, 17 points and 12 rebounds, the old man easily cut down a double-double again.

After the game, the coaching staff didn't say much, and it is estimated that they will watch the game video overnight, leaving only more than a day for the Clippers to adjust.

Popovich, who was unexpectedly and successfully changed, still said calmly at the post-match press conference:

"We're going to win the series! I'm so proud of my players, they did everything the coaching staff asked of them and obviously we are the better team! ”

Amerika's sports reporters remembered that 2013 was still an odd-numbered year, and with the blessing of metaphysics, all of them became wall grass for a while, and many people shouted directly:

"Spurs Championship!"

Li Ze didn't give too many interviews after the game, and everyone in the Clippers was a little stunned when he lost in such a way.

In addition, after the press conference, the time is close to 0:00, everyone will hurry to rest after returning to the hotel, and they will fly back to Los Angeles tomorrow morning.

After returning to his room, Li Ze couldn't help but rub his eyebrows, the Spurs' outside shooting rate did drop from 9 of 22, and the three-point shooting rate of 40.9%.

Li Ze, who finally lay on the big bed, couldn't help but muttered in his heart:

"29 shots, can't you win?"

After this game, Amelica fans on Reddit were discussing wildly:

"It's crazy! Isn't there a need for big men in the future? ”

"Shet! It's just that Turyaf and Andrew Jordan can't punish the Spurs' interior lineup, and if we had a big man who can attack in the low post, the Spurs would never have this kind of lineup. ”

"Leonard's defense is underrated! While he couldn't limit Kayce, it was incredible that he was able to switch to Paul, and Danny Green is a great defender and I'm so proud of the team! ”

"Gary Neil and Dio are also important rotations, oh my God! I have a hunch that we're going to make it to the finals! Kayce scored another 46 points tonight, and it feels great to beat him! ”

"You are all thieves! Obviously, the Thunder team is the champion! ”

"Another crazy one, I love to see the Thunder fans angry and devastated looks."

On May 28, the Clippers who returned to Los Angeles did not have much rest, and the coaching staff took everyone to watch the video of the G4 game repeatedly.

It's just that the more you look at it, the cooler it gets, the Spurs' big four is just terrible, if Paul's state is average, there is no advantage in the face of Danny Green and Leonard who came up with the switch, and the opponent's defense is extremely mobile.

On top of that, Duncan always makes the right defensive choices, and with Jordan Jr.'s inconsistent free throws, the Spurs have started to use foul tactics.

When the recovery training session in the afternoon was over, Li Ze, who had not said much, suddenly clapped his hands, and then said in a relaxed tone:

"Don't worry about the offense, don't forget that the opponent only has more than a day to rest, guys, we need to defend hard!"

"Change the defense, press them, wear them down, we still have home advantage, tomorrow night's game, show our tough attitude, the victory will be ours after all!"

Billups immediately took over and said in a firm tone:

"I know the Spurs, they're a tough opponent, but don't forget, we've got super scorers, do a good job defending, don't care about fouls, win the battle and we'll make it to the Finals!"

Most of the players on the Clippers team didn't have a championship, everyone was screaming with milk, and Griffin even wanted to play with an injury, but was finally persuaded by the coaching staff.

That night, the Eastern Conference Finals G4 also continued to play.

Heat fans thought that the team would win the game directly in one go, but the Heat's interior line was blown up again.

Although Paul George pulled his hip again, Roy Hibbert made 10 of 16 from the field in this game, with 23 points, 12 rebounds and 2 turnovers.

Frequently pulling to the outside and opening up space for teammates didn't do much, and Chris Bosh was 1-of-6 from the field and scored 7 points on free throws.

LeBron James was 8-of-18, including 4-of-7 three-pointers and 4-of-6 free throws, and finished with a mediocre 24 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, 3 blocks and 2 turnovers.

The number of rebounds at 30:49 was enough to illustrate the gap in the strength of the two sides, and in the end, at 92:99, the Pacers stubbornly tied the score at 2:2.

The Eastern and Western Leagues will have the battle of Tianwang Mountain, and the NBA League is happy, this is the result they want to see.

On the night of May 29th, the Staples Arena was full, although the big stars disdained to go to the scene to watch the Clippers game, but for ordinary fans, the ticket price is not expensive, and to see Li Ze and Paul, this ticket is definitely not a loss.

In addition, tonight is the battle of Tianwang Mountain, second-hand scalpers tickets are out of stock, no one likes to lose, and the Clippers have won enough this season, and naturally they have attracted a lot of winning secrets.

In the visiting dressing room, Popovich looked relaxed and was confident of winning the game despite his showdown.

There's no complicated reason, it's just that he has more defensive cards in his hand than the Clippers.

Danny Green has a height of 1.98 meters, and he has no problem defending the outside of the Clippers, as does defensive snag Leonard.

If you can't prevent Li Ze, then strangle another key player, this set of tactics is useless for the Thunder, but it is very useful for the current Clippers!

Before the game, there was no too much explanation of tactics, and there was no chicken soup for the soul, and the bad old man just said simply:

"Win this game, go back to San Antonio, and we're going to end the series!"

Tim Duncan beckoned the Spurs crowd with a simple slogan:

"Million, spit, shatter, Tegaid!"

Compared to the Spurs' lightheartedness, the Clippers coaching staff couldn't determine the starting lineup at all, and in the end, head coach De Nagro had to send in the regular rotation, and Turiaf continued to play.

As the DJ on the scene introduced the Clippers on the field, the atmosphere at Staples Arena became more and more hot, and on the ESPN commentary seat, Jeff Van Gundy said in a somewhat exaggerated tone:

"Coach Popovich has made a bold change again! Tony Parker and Ginobili in the backcourt, Danny Green and Kawhi Leonard on the front line, and Tim Duncan at center, obviously the victory in the last game gave the Spurs a lot of confidence! ”

Commentator Mike Brin saw that the Clippers were still in the regular rotation, and he also said:

'I can understand Coach De Nagro that it wasn't a good choice to suddenly change your starting XI in such a crucial game.

When the referee signaled for the players from both sides to come to the center of the field, the DJ on the scene began to cheer for the home team with the crowd:

“Let's go Clippers！ Let's go Clippers！ Let's go Clippers！ ”

The players on both sides simply exchanged fists, Li Ze looked serious, sorted out the red arm guard on his left arm, and then held his knees with both hands, looking at Little Jordan who was jumping the ball.

Chris Paul, who was next to him, was giving his teammates a wink and signaling for everyone to pay attention to the ball.

As the scene erupted in a loud cheer, Jordan Jr. managed to jump to the ball for the Clippers.

Matt Barnes took the ball, immediately passed it to Paul and dribbled quickly across the half.

Li Ze soon discovered that Ginobili was the one who played against him in the first round, and the two could be regarded as old rivals.

quickly came to the left wing outside the three-point line and received a pass from Paul, at this time, Turiaf on the inside did not want to beat Leonard in the low post at all, but directly pulled to the free throw line to open up offensive space for Li Ze.

There is no need to block and dismantle, there is a rhythmic cheering sound on the scene, Li Ze quickly tentatively steps with his right foot, and then quickly strides to the left front, and cross-steps dribble to break through.

The Spurs didn't have too much defense, Li Ze almost passed Ginobili in one step, and the left blocking area suddenly stopped, drifted to the left rear, and threw a backward jumper!

"Huh!" Hit the two-pointer steadily!

There was a burst of cheers at the scene, but Li Ze did not celebrate too much, and immediately reminded his teammates to retreat quickly.

The Spurs' offense, which had grown smaller, also began to pick up, first with a pick-and-roll at the No. 5 position, and as Parker broke away from Paul's sudden cut-in, Turyaf was forced to help.

A simple breakaway shot to Leonard in the bottom left corner, who received the ball, didn't make any adjustments, and made a quick jump shot outside the three-point line!

"Huh!" Three-point shot is a solid hit!

There was a burst of noise in the Staples Arena, Paul clapped his hands in annoyance, indicating that the ball was his problem, and Li Ze saw that the Spurs hit a three-point shot in the first round, and he thought helplessly:

"Looks like we're going to have to fight for my life tonight!"
