Chapter 303: Another Record (9700 Words Chapter)

Which is more important in the NBA league, stats or wins and losses?

Different players may have different answers.

Michael Jordan, who is a six-time champion, will probably stick out six fingers and proudly elaborate on his 72-win championship.

Perhaps for Michael Jordan, 63 points that year didn't bring him much sense of accomplishment, after all, he was swept 3-0 by the Celtics in the first round.

And Larry Bird doesn't pay much attention to the data either.

This man won three consecutive MVPs, between '83 and '86, and also won two FMVPs, only losing to the Lakers in the middle, and there is no need to flaunt his greatness with stats to achieve such an achievement

But children only make choices, and in the face of such a problem, Li Ze can only smile:

"I want all the data and honor!"

On the evening of May 29, anyone who pays attention to the news of sports events is frantically discussing Li Ze's performance in the Western Conference Finals.

Unlike in the 90s, in 2013, social media was more developed and more conducive to spreading information, and at the end of the half-game that night, Amika's sports media collectively tweeted wildly, and some people even shouted:

"God is playing in the number 10 jersey!"

And at the last moment of the game, Li Ze threw in a 3-pointer, which almost killed the game and completely detonated social media.

Most of the young fans of the new generation have never seen Michael Jordan play with their own eyes, but Li Ze's crazy offensive performance completely convinced everyone.

Of course, the Spurs were still not convinced, and at the post-game press conference, the somewhat irascible Popovich once again emphasized in front of the media:

"We're the better team! In such a tight game, we only had 9 turnovers, 38:41, and we also won three rebounds! ”

"We grabbed 10 frontcourt rebounds and I'm proud of my players, but basketball is always full of surprises and I'll forget about tonight's game and the series is still not over."

The TNT reporter, who likes to do things, muttered to himself in a low voice:

"In the last round, the best team has gone home."

The Clippers staff and the sports media at the scene almost burst out laughing when they heard this.

Popovich was directly angry, and the bad old man didn't wait for the press conference to end, immediately stood up, turned around and left.

When Tim Duncan and Ginobili came to the press conference, the reporters on the scene stopped doing things and gave 37-year-old Tim Duncan a round of applause.

34 points, 17 rebounds, 1 steal and 2 turnovers, in the battle of Tianwang Mountain in the Western Conference Finals, playing such statistics, the best team of the season Tim Duncan deserves the name.

Even if it is crazy business blowing, but Duncan is still in a bad mood still looks a little lost, the day after tomorrow will be a G6 game, the team morale is low, and the physical fitness will not return to the best condition, Duncan fully understands what this means.

At the Clippers' press conference, there was basically a wave of sycophants, what is the strongest backcourt in the league, the league's first scoring guard, this kind of praise does not need money to be sent out.

However, compared to these simple sycophants, ESPN's reporters did their homework best, and took the opportunity to ask questions, and immediately said:

"Kayce, I don't know if you noticed, but so far in the playoffs, you're averaging 42.5 points per game, shooting 64.4% from the field, 60% from three-point range, and 97.6% from the free throw line!"

"I think the fans must be very curious, how do you make a lot of shots and still be so effective? It's crazy! ”

Li Ze was also taken aback when he heard this data, he had been patronizing video classes in the past few days, and he didn't have time to pay attention to the data, but after thinking about it for a while, he suddenly asked with a smile:

"I haven't paid much attention to that, is it the current 15 game stats?"

"Of course! We've been keeping an eye on your data! ”

Li Ze, who was wearing a dark gray suit, heard the affirmative answer, shrugged his shoulders with a smile, and then said in a mocking tone:

"Then I might need to thank the Lakers!"

The media at the scene didn't react for the first time, and then burst into laughter, this ridicule is really shrimp pig heart!

In the first four games with the Lakers, Li Ze averaged 32.3 points per game, shooting 76.1% from the field and 76% from three-point range.

Obviously, the crazy abuse of vegetables has raised Li Ze's overall statistics in the playoffs.

In addition, the Clippers and the Lakers can be regarded as sworn enemies in the same city, F4 was swept by the Clippers, but at this time Li Ze thanked him, and the low-key but real ridicule made the media reporters who have always disliked the Lakers laugh.

Chris Paul on the side also shook his head with a smile, thinking back to the first round of the game, it was definitely the easiest moment for the Clippers.

Soon after the end of the game, the bleachers (B/R) took the lead in releasing a poster of Li Ze, and the photographer captured the scene when Li Ze shot a super long three-pointer, everyone turned their heads to look at the basket, and Li Ze confidently returned to the defense.

With 63 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, 1 block and 1 turnover, it completely detonated INS.

Fans reprinted it wildly, and then the NBA League, as a veteran of star-making sports, also released two posters.

However, the content of the poster is very interesting, one is the data of Li Ze's game, and the other poster is the honor comparison between Li Ze and Larry Bird:

"3 times MVP! Witness greatness again! Will Kayce be able to get FMVP again? ”

I have to say that this kind of crazy scoring is exactly what the NBA league wants to see, how to trigger fans' desire to spread, the simplest and most crude means is for superstars to get super data.

In short, in this battle of Tianwang Mountain in the West, the NBA league completely won, and ESPN, as the broadcaster, also laughed, and the ratings exploded.

In the Celestial Empire on the other side of the ocean, CCTV Sports also broadcast this game, and the fans listened to the whole chatter of Director Zhang:

"Give it to Li Ze, give it early! That's right! Pregnant! ”

But after the game, most fans were still excited and screaming, the data was invincible, and most importantly, the Clippers really won!

On the Tiger Pounce Forum, Zhan Mi, who jumped up and down in the sky a few days ago, did not make a sound, and the triple-double data was indeed fierce, but compared with the 63-point quasi-lore and fatal block, it was not a level.

Although the forum collapsed for another half hour, the fans were still enthusiastic:

"Invincible! Li Zeniu X! This is the best performance I've ever seen in the playoffs! ”

"It's the best! Tied the record set by Michael Jordan for the highest playoff time and the Clippers championship! ”

"The team history record set by Li Ze should be difficult to break the players behind, the Clippers are really poor, if they can win the division championship, they can create a record."

"37 shots, 63 points to win, it's not reasonable at all, even if the Clippers reach the Finals, it is estimated that they will not be the opponent of the Heat."

"Reasonable blame again! With a 59.4% shooting rate, you may not be able to throw out a reasonable game, so don't come to the championship loan! ”

"The fact is that the Heat have the best record, I Zhan also has 24 consecutive wins, the Big Three are in the best shape this year, no one is useful, and the Heat will start a dynasty soon."

"Laughing to death! doesn't have a championship, and he still has 3 consecutive championships here, unless James chooses to join the Clippers, Li Ze will definitely be able to take him to the championship. ”

"Brother basketball again? There is some truth in thinking about it, it just so happens that the Clippers are missing a No. 3 spot! ”

“.”

On May 30, the Clippers flew to San Antonio again, and the G6 game officially starts tomorrow night.

While the Clippers still haven't been able to get back to their best, head coach De Nagro has seen the light of day.

In the battle of Tianwang Mountain, the Spurs made 5 of 18 three-pointers, and under the high-intensity defense, they made 1 of 3 of all kinds, and Danny Green, who had played well before, was also 1 of 5 from the outside.

The Clippers' projection played normally, except for Li Ze who hit three three-pointers, Paul was 1 of 3, Ray Allen was 1 of 4, and Crawford was 1 of 4.

A 6-of-16 three-pointer is normal for the Clippers, while the Spurs' shooting percentage is declining.

This phenomenon has given the Clippers' coaching staff a lot of confidence, there are no crazy three-pointers, only positional battles, they are not afraid of any team!

Until the Western Conference Finals, many sports media have also been analyzing why the Clippers keep winning, and in TNT's program, host Ernnie Johnson threw out such a topic on the same day:

"Will the Clippers win? Do you think they have a chance of winning the championship? ”

Kenny Smith was the first to give his opinion, and said affirmatively in front of the camera:

"Of course, we all know what it means to win the battle of Tianwang Mountain, and the opponent in the Finals may not be as strong as the Spurs, I mean there will not be a balanced team like the Spurs!"

O'Neill, who was on the side, saw Li Ze's statistics, and suddenly laughed and joked:

"Nearly 60% shooting, with a big man to protect the rebound, Kayce can lead him to win, of course, I still stick to my opinion, the Heat will win the championship!"

"Don't forget that Dwyane Wade is also a killer besides LeBron James, I know him, and he never lets up when it comes to key games."

The host Ernnie Johnson suddenly changed the topic at this time, and began to talk about Li Ze's data with a smile:

"Last night's game, Kayce reminded me of Mike Jordan's performance in the 92~93 season finals."

"21 of 37, 13 of 18 free throws, 55 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 turnover, in comparison, Kayce just shot a few more three-pointers, and in the finals that year, Michael also successfully won G4 with such a high-scoring performance!"

Kenny Smith immediately took over with a smile and shouted at Charles Barkley:

"Hey! Chuck! Who do you think is stronger Kayce or Michael right now? You played against each other in the finals back then. ”

Charles Barkley, who had been silent, saw that the topic finally turned to him again, and brought up the finals that broke his heart, and immediately said angrily:

“Come on! All I remember is that Michael scored 55 points and I had a triple-double in that game. ”

"32 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists, 3 steals, 1 block and 1 turnover, all the limelight was stolen by him! In my opinion, Kayce is stronger, his three-point shot is better, it's a pity that his opponent is not strong enough! ”

"So, are you supporting the Clippers again?"

Seeing that all three of them were looking at him, Charles Barkley finally just faced the camera and said with a serious expression:

"Of course I'm still rooting for the Heat, the Big Three are in great shape, and most importantly, they can't afford to lose! The trio must prove themselves through a championship. ”

As the finals get closer and closer, Amerika's media reporters are also following the trend to discuss this hot topic, especially after the Clippers won the battle of Tianwang Mountain, the call for Li Ze VS LeBron James is getting louder and louder.

Li Ze certainly needs three consecutive FMVPs, and this year marks a career milestone, and ending his rookie contract with such an accomplishment would be a great end to his rookie career.

LeBron James also needed a championship too much, and was swept by gentlemen for two years in a row, making more and more media begin to mock his decision that year.

If this season fails again, it's hard to imagine what the media will say, and even the players in the league will look down on James, and it's too stretched.

On the evening of the 30th, the Eastern Conference Finals G5 officially began.

In the battle of Tianwang Mountain in the Eastern Conference Finals, the two sides fought extremely fiercely in the first half.

The Pacers relied on the excellent play of Paul George, Roy Hibbert, and David West, and at the end of the half, 44:40, leading by four points.

As a result, in the third quarter of the game, Paul George suddenly collapsed, George Hill made consecutive mistakes, and the Heat used pressing defense to prevent the Pacers from scoring only 13 points in a single quarter.

At 13:30, LeBron James was 7-of-10 in the third quarter, including 2-of-4 three-pointers, and scored 16 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, which broke down the Pacers in a wave.

In the end, 79:90, the Heat team fighting at home successfully won the battle of Tianwang Mountain, and the series score also came to 3:2.

After the game, Amerika's media reporters began to praise James again.

Played 44 minutes, 13-of-26, including 3-of-7 three-pointers, 30 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, 1 block and 3 turnovers, except for 1-of-4 free throws, LeBron James's statistics are impeccable.

Paul George made 11 of 19 from the field, including 5 of 8 three-pointers, and scored 27 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 turnovers despite pulling his hips in the third quarter.

Winning G5, the Heat stepped on the floor of the Finals with one foot, so in the post-game interview, LeBron James was also in a good mood:

"We're going to keep winning! We're getting better and better, we trust each other and of course we have to give credit to the Pacers, the series is not over yet, I'm going to continue to give it my all in the next games, and I haven't forgotten what I promised! ”

The American Airlines Arena was full of jubilation, and after LeBron James finished the interview, he waved to the crowd again, and the Heat team has completely become his team!

Wade, who scored 10 points, and Bosh, who scored 7 points, are no longer hot.

At the end of the day, the media still prefer excellent data, and it is inevitable that the three will sacrifice each other.

On the morning of the 31st, the Clippers were doing recovery training for tonight's game.

Chris Paul continued to communicate with the coaching staff, and in the battle of Tianwang Mountain, Paul was 6 of 14 in the game, including 1 of 3 three-pointers and 6 of 7 free throws, and scored 19 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 1 turnover.

Despite Popovich's repeated assertions that they were the better team, the Clippers actually only had 10 turnovers in the game.

And Tony Parker was defended by Li Ze and Paul in turn, and only got 19 points, 3 rebounds and 8 assists on 6-of-22 from the field.

Maybe it was because there were so many transitions during the regular season that everyone forgot that Paul was actually good at playing positional offense.

In addition, Li Ze can also play No. 1, the playing time of the main lineup has increased, and with the blessing of dual control, the Clippers are also very good at grinding positions.

If it weren't for the Grizzlies' fierce interior and the Spurs' over-balanced configuration, the Clippers' playoff journey would definitely not be so difficult.

"I liked the rhythm of the last game, 85 rounds, Kayce's attack drove the rhythm of the team, we should stick to it!"

"If the Spurs continue to stick to a one-big and four-small lineup, I can also attack Duncan with Kayce, even if the opponent is playing at home, but I don't think Duncan's fitness is definitely not too good."

Paul and Duncan were both from Wake Forest, but the alumni couldn't beat the temptation of the finals, and Paul was ready to strike at the old man again.

After watching the footage of the game for two days, the assistant coach also felt that Paul's words were very reasonable, but when deciding on the starting lineup, Coach De Nagro still cautiously chose Turiaf.

On the night of the 31st, at the AT Center Arena, Spurs fans frantically cheered for the home team.

The start time of this game is 21 o'clock, which can be regarded as prime time.

Steve Ballmer also flew with the team to San Antonio, and the old man sat under the basketball hoop again, wearing a gray shirt to watch the game in a low-key manner.

If the Clippers can win the game, they will claim their first division title in franchise history.

Change the owner and win the championship, whether it is a metaphysical bonus or not, Steve Ball defaults to being the lucky star of the Clippers

There was 1 minute and 14 seconds left in the first half.

Li Ze was not satisfied with the penalty scale in the first half, although the opponent was fighting at home, but under the continuous impact of the half-game, Duncan only had one foul.

Tonight's referees are Tony Brothers, Monty McCutchen, Zach Zarba, and such a referee team is somewhat task-oriented.

In the final moments of the first half, Li Ze and Paul made a downward gesture at the same time, grinding out the last bit of time, which was a victory for the Clippers.

After Paul dribbled past half court, he immediately motioned for Jordan Jr. to come outside the three-point line to block and dismantle.

Jordan Jr. just stood still, facing Parker's defense, Paul, who was holding the ball in his left hand, first changed direction in front of his body, and then his right hand was extremely fast in and out, pretending to break through on the right side, and then suddenly turned sharply.

After shaking off Parker, Paul stuck to Jordan Jr.'s body, completed the pass, noticed Duncan switch defenses, came to the three-point line for a slight pause, and then accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his left hand.

Duncan raised his hands and slid backwards in succession, and Paul leaned against the other side, walked around the inside, had no chance, and returned to the three-point line.

The fans immediately erupted into a murmur, and as Paul and Li completed a hand-to-hand pass at the top of the arc, the Clippers had 10 seconds left on offense.

After receiving the ball, Li Ze first held the ball in his right hand, pretended to break through and immediately collapsed the dribble, and after opening up some distance, he changed direction twice in a row with the crotch dribble and the body, and his body shook in confusion with the rhythm of the dribble.

Leonard just adjusted his defensive center of gravity at this time, without any idea of cutting the ball, when Li Ze pretended to break through with the ball in his right hand and completed a large body change of direction to accelerate the breakthrough, Leonard still did not lose his defensive position.

However, Li Ze was full of strength, and after shaking off half of his body, he rushed all the way to the paint area with Leonard, suddenly dribbled behind his back, and then paused his right hand slightly, and then leaned on Leonard, and turned around very quickly.

After wiping the defense, Li Ze took advantage of the situation to close the ball, strode to the basket, faced Duncan's help defense, and threw the board high with his left hand!

"Bang!"

Under the interference, the ball slammed directly out of the basket, Duncan didn't have time to protect the basket, and Jordan Jr., who made an excellent prediction, immediately rushed to grab the rebound in the front court, and threw the ball back to Paul, who received it from the outside, and the Spurs fans booed wildly.

Seeing that the Clippers had to grind for another 24 seconds, Coach Popovich on the sidelines looked very anxious and hurriedly shouted:

"Tony, defend it!"

Paul didn't play the pick-and-roll at this time, and at the same time signaled to Ray Allen and Takla on the court to open up space.

With his back to protect the ball, Paul grinded at the top of the arc for 15 seconds, and at the last moment, Li Ze first asked for the ball with his back in the elbow area on the left side of the free throw line.

After pulling each other with Leonard, he suddenly bounced to the left flank, and the moment he received Paul's pass, he immediately put the ball with his right hand and broke through in an instant.

Seeing that Li Ze's body center of gravity pressure was extremely low, Leonard subconsciously slid backwards, Li Ze only took a small step at this time, and then immediately dribbled the ball under his crotch, and the center of gravity of his body moved to the left, and at the same time, he used force under his feet and retreated directly.

Instantly returned to the three-point line, Leonard, who was out of position, made a pounce, but could not interfere with Li Ze's shot.

"Huh!" Three-point shot hit!

"Shh

After 48 seconds of hard grinding, the Spurs fans immediately erupted in a huge wave of boos.

At 44:52, the Clippers extended their lead to eight points as Li hit a three-pointer.

In the final 36 seconds of the first half, with Paul and Parker each hitting a tie, the Clippers entered the second half with an eight-point lead.

Spurs fans are already a little desperate, the team's offensive tempo in this game is slow, the outside shooting is extremely stretched, and the scoring is all due to Duncan and Parker.

The crazy three-pointers at home before are all gone.

"4-of-7 in the half, 5-of-5 free throws, Duncan had 13 points and 5 rebounds, but Parker's performance was average, 2-of-8, relying on free throws to score 8 points, the Spurs seemed to have lost their previous offensive rhythm, and 2-of-7 three-pointers were difficult for them to win at home."

Jeff Van Gundy saw the Spurs perform like this, and immediately fell to the Clippers, and he was still predicting before the game that the two sides would play a tiebreaker.

In contrast, the Clippers were more consistent in scoring, with Kayce scoring 7-of-13 in the half, including 2-of-4 three-pointers and 4-of-4 free throws, scoring 20 points with ease, and it didn't look like his fitness was affected too much!"

In the Spurs' locker room, Popovich secretly scolded Li Ze in his heart for not being human.

The series went on a rampage, with almost four minutes of rest per game, and the fitness was still excellent, which exceeded the coaching staff's expectations.

"Tony! We need to speed up the pace of the game, and when there are opportunities on the outside, we need to be bold! ”

After Popovich said this, he consciously glanced at Danny Green, who just lowered his head and didn't say a word.

0 of 6 in the half, relying on free throws to score 2 points, the battle of Tianwang Mountain, Li Ze's block seemed to take away the shooter's touch, and tonight's performance was unusually crotch-pulling.

Chicken soup for the soul is sent out without money, Leonard, who is panting for breath, is full of motivation from milk, and his performance in the first half is also very average, scoring 5 points in 2 of 7, but Leonard believes that he will rebound strongly in the second half!

The Spurs, who lost a three-pointer, finally felt the pain of the Grizzlies, and the Clippers, who led by eight points, played unhurriedly, almost fixed tactics, and Paul started from the No. 5 position.

When encountering assistance defense, flanking balls, Ray Allen projecting, no assistance defense, striving for small and big, or sudden or throwing, Paul's shooting rate is not high, but it is just enough, which can make Li Ze breathe a few breaths.

This set of simple and crude tactics finally beat the Grizzlies out of temper, and the Spurs were also a little dazed after grinding for most of the quarter.

It was another attack of nearly 24 seconds, Li Ze stuck Leonard behind him in the right elbow blocking area, and the moment he received the ball, he immediately took his left foot as the axis, turned around in the direction of the bottom line, and at the same time exerted force under his feet, and threw a backward jump shot that drifted to the right!

“Kayce! Fade away! That's good! ”

Commentator Mike Bryn's tone is also becoming more and more brisk, and Li Ze's ability to respond to the ball is indeed too stable.

At this time, Paul was completely relaxed, his little hand shook, the assist was in his hand, and he smiled and Li Ze to complete the fist bump, and then the Clippers immediately retreated.

At 65:73, the situation on the court did not seem to have changed, and with 2 minutes and 38 seconds left in the third quarter, the shouts of the Spurs fans at the scene continued unabated.

"Kayce's offensive options have gotten better this season, and he's significantly quickened his ball handling since the Western Conference semifinals."

"Compared to the Thunder period, the Clippers are easy to be trapped, and I have to say that Kayce is really a talented player who can always find a way to crack the face of various defenses."

As soon as Jeff Van Gundy's words fell, after the Spurs continued to pass the ball, Danny Green on the right wing faced Li Ze's block and made a quick shot.

"Bang!" One more hit!

The long rebound bounced off and was easily picked up by Paul, and just as he wanted to launch a transition offense, Tony Parker immediately fouled him.

Li Ze had already noticed that Danny Green seemed to have lost his shooting rhythm, and he was relieved that if it was really a three-point shot, the Clippers couldn't compare to the other side

"Be patient! Watch out for rebounding! ”

Paul began to briefly remind his teammates again, mainly to remind Jordan Jr. that the last game was robbed by Duncan, which is unforgivable in Paul's opinion, and the other party is 37 years old.

With this foul, the Spurs also entered the state of adding free throws.

When Paul dribbled past the half, Li Ze made another tactical gesture, and then raised an eyebrow, signaling that this round would continue to grind.

is also a high-level blocking, Paul, who went around in a circle, consumed another 12 seconds of offensive time, Li Ze first asked for the ball with his back in the left blocking area, Leonard pulled and dragged it behind his back, but Li Ze suddenly turned around dexterously, from left to right, and quickly slipped the bottom line.

The Clippers immediately cleared one side, and when Li Ze came to the low post on the right side, he easily stuck Leonard behind him, and just opened his hand to ask for the ball, Paul immediately sent a half-high throw.

Jumping up to catch the ball, Lun Daode didn't react yet, suddenly his chest was stuffy, and he was hit hard by Li Ze, seeing Li Ze pulling the ball back with his left hand, Leonard just adjusted his defensive focus.

As a result, he found that Li Ze's body quickly twisted forward, snapped two steps at the same time, took large steps up and down, and came directly to the basket, picking up the basket with his left hand.

Before the ball came out of his hand, Duncan, who came up to help the defense, hit Li Ze's arm directly and destroyed the ball.

"Squeak!"

The referee immediately signaled for a foul on the beater, and Li Ze made two free throws.

“Referee sucks! Referee sucks! Referee sucks! ”

Angry Spurs fans began to yell at the referee, and everyone felt very depressed.

Li Ze stood on the free throw line with a smile, hit two free throws steadily, Duncan served the bottom line with an expressionless face, Leonard wanted to say that it was his problem, and in the end he could only run to the front court with the old man.

Popovich's rant didn't help, and the Clippers were always able to respond for the rest of the third quarter, with a margin of eight points.

At the end of the third quarter, at 70:78, the Clippers still led by eight points.

The desperate Spurs started to pick up speed in the fourth quarter, but Ginobili and Tony Parker were completely restrained by Li Ze and Paul.

After speeding up, except for Ginobili who forced a breakthrough or blocked three points against Li Ze's defense, most of the Spurs' offense was to give the ball to Duncan in the low post.

It's a pity that the old man's physical strength is a little unbearable, so far, Duncan has only rested for a total of 3 minutes, and both sides are struggling with the main force.

With Duncan missing several baskets and singles, Li Ze easily hit the mid-range, and the difference became 12 points.

Ginobili and Duncan completed the block, broke through with the ball in their left hand, just dribbled two steps, and were stealed by Li Ze on the side, and the Spurs fans let out an exclamation.

A simple physical confrontation, coupled with a powerful right hand slice, sent Ginobili to the floor.

The referee did not blow the whistle, and Li Ze, who regained the ball, rushed with the ball, played 1 to 0 in the front court, and rushed through the half court quickly.

Just after one step of the free throw line, Li Ze rose into the air, grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand, swung his arm back, and after gliding in the air, he easily came to a powerful one-arm violent dunk!

"Boom!" Steal and dunk it!

"Shh

The AT Center Arena burst into boos, and at 85:99, the Clippers extended the margin to 14 points.

With 2:56 left in the game, Popovich seemed to want to replace the main lineup, but Duncan waved his hand.

Li Ze completed the dunk, the Clippers bench was jubilant, and Steve Ballmer under the basketball hoop also swung his fist, and the old man was already happy.

Although Leonard hit a three-pointer at the last moment, it could not affect the outcome of the game at all, and with the foul at the last moment, Li Ze and Paul began to walk to the free throw line again, and the game completely lost its suspense.

In the end, 88:106, the Clippers relied on their extremely stable scoring ability to successfully defeat the opponent with a big score of 4:2.

The boos from the scene could not stop the Clippers from celebrating wildly, on the contrary, everyone in the Spurs looked up at the sky, and it seemed that the series was gone.

Danny Green sat on the floor, looking extremely lost, 1 of 12, including 1 of 6 three-pointers, and in the end he only got 5 points, 5 rebounds, 1 steal and 2 turnovers in this game, and the outside line was completely dumb.

"It's been a great series, congratulations to the Clippers for reaching the Finals, they have set a new team record again!"

"I have to praise Kayce for his performance, his incredibly consistent scoring ability, and I think he's already the best outside player in the league!"

"With 14-of-25 shooting, including 3-of-7 three-pointers and 9-of-9 free throws, and another efficient 40 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 turnover, I can't describe his performance in the playoffs this year."

Jeff Van Gundy is completely convinced, and Li Ze's statistics in the playoffs are a big improvement compared to the regular season.

Especially considering that Li Ze also won this year's scoring title, which seems to indicate that the routine has no force at all.

The Clippers shouted in excitement as they rushed back to the locker room to change into their prepared gray division championship T-shirts and hats.

Although the atmosphere was a little worse when he received the award away from home, how could everyone in the Clippers take care of these at this time, and Paul was even more happy to hug everyone.

Entering the league in '05, he was drafted by the Hornets with the fourth pick in the first round, and although the title of the league's No. 1 picks has always been thrown at his head over the years, the playoffs have always stopped in the second round.

But with the thought he's just 28 years old, Paul feels he's got a chance to chase some great records, and at this moment he seems to kind of understand the choice of his good brother LeBron James.

"It's so nice to hug your thighs!"

Li Ze just changed his clothes with a smile on his face, and Coach De Nagro patted Li Ze on the shoulder, as an academy coach, he was already very satisfied to achieve such results.

Several veterans in the dressing room are also just smiling, everyone has seen the big scene.

Jamal Crawford is very happy, and despite his average performance in the playoffs, he can be considered to contribute to the Clippers' eight-man rotation.

Steve Ballmer followed the staff into the division championship T-shirt, and the old man was very happy, and he was still waving his fists in celebration.

Li Ze was chosen to trade by him, and now he has achieved such results, almost all of them are brought by him, and the boss can be regarded as a success if he does this!

The Western Conference Division Championship trophy is still the trumpet ball trophy that Li Ze is familiar with.

Compared to the championship ceremony, there was no podium, and when they came to the center of the court, the Clippers were huddled together with only a golden spherical trophy in front of them.

ESPN's host is not verbose, after all, it is an away award, and there are still scattered boos in the AT Center Arena at this time, if you overstimulate the fans and meet the grumpy brother, it will not be beautiful

"Let's congratulate the Clippers again for winning the 2012~2013 Western Conference Division Championship! This is also the first division championship trophy in the history of the Clippers! ”

“Kayce! How do you feel about your unbeatable performance, the fact that you've broken multiple records in the playoffs, and you've made your name in Clippers history? ”

Li Ze smiled, lifted the hat on his head, and then responded simply:

"I'm excited to make new history for the Clippers, it's a great feeling!"

"But our work isn't over yet, and like I used to say, I'm going to reinvent the Clippers' winning culture."

"Thank you to my teammates, to our amazing coaching staff, and of course to Mr. Steve Ballmer who brought me to the Clippers, we're not going to stop and I'm going to give it my all to win the first championship in franchise history for the Clippers!"

There were also scattered Clippers fans at the scene, who immediately screamed when they heard Li Ze's words, but they were quickly covered up by the boos of the Spurs fans

The ESPN moderator hurriedly asked again:

“Paul! This is the first division championship of your career, and I'm sure a lot of fans who support you want to hear how you feel! ”

Paul looked a little excited, took the microphone and immediately replied:

"It's like a prayer has been answered, and after going through two consecutive injuries and stopping in the second round, it's a great feeling to win the division!"

"But as Kayce said, we're not going to stop, we're going to make history for the Clippers, and I hope to see our championship flag over the arena next season!"

"Oh!!"

The Clippers began to scream, and then the host briefly interviewed Coach De Nagro and Steve Ballmer, and after the two of them answered briefly, everyone couldn't wait to win the cup.

Everyone on the Clippers grinned as Li lifted the Western Conference Division Championship trophy to the cheers of everyone on the Clippers.
