On the evening of May 12, the Clippers successfully advanced to the Western Conference finals, and in the Eastern Conference, the Heat also successfully won the match point.

At 102:96, with LeBron James's supernatural performance, the Heat led the opponent 3:1 and ended the suspense of this series.

Played 43 minutes, 16-of-24, including 3-of-6 three-pointers and 14-of-19 free throws, and finished with 49 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and 1 turnover.

At the Barclays Center Arena, Nets fans were almost stupid, and James, who completely cut off the pass button, showed his dominance.

Wade scored 15 points on 7-of-13 shooting, Bosh scored 12 points on 5-of-9 shooting, and the Big Three performed well!

Although the Nets still have the advantage in rebounding, it is a pity that the gap between star players has made Coach Reaves watch James continue to score points.

Infighting, disagreements, and offseason departures have been accompanied by all kinds of rumors that have been with the Heat, but basketball is always speaking with strength, and James, who played a supernatural performance, was once again wildly praised by ball critics:

"LeBron James showed his dominance! The Heat are getting better! ”

Everyone who watched the Heat turned around, seemingly forgetting the previous subtle taunt that this is the playoffs, and a win can cover up the problem.

So far in the semi-finals, there is no longer much suspense about the final matchup.

In the Eastern Conference, the Pacers and Heat all got the match point, and if there are no surprises, the two sides will once again stand on the stage of the Eastern Conference Finals.

In the Western Conference, the Clippers crushed all the way and reached the Western Conference finals without any suspense, and the biggest suspense in the semifinals was the matchup between the Thunder and the Spurs.

The Spurs seem to have found their form, and although everyone doesn't believe that the Spurs can shoot more than 50% in the next game, no one looks down on these old men anymore.

On the 13th, the Clippers flew back to Los Angeles, and the Western Conference Finals officially started on the 19th, sweeping the opponent to advance, giving them nearly a week of repair time.

If the Spurs gradually found their form through a difficult game, then the Clippers also activated the bench lineup through this round of abuse

The climate in Los Angeles in May is just right, the average temperature during the day is only about 21 degrees, jeans with a white printed T-shirt, and the simple dress Li Ze has just gotten off the plane and has been warmly welcomed by the fans.

Winning always leads to more fans, and more fans came to pick up this year than in last year's playoffs.

Steve Ballmore also followed the team's staff to the airport and reached the Western Conference Finals for the second year in a row, which was undoubtedly very successful for the Clippers, who had already overdrawn draft picks.

To meet the fans' demand for autographed photos, as soon as Li Ze boarded the bus, Steve Ballmer clapped his hands and started his speech passionately:

"I love this semi-final! We showed our dominance! ”

"After sweeping our opponents in two rounds in a row, we have a chance to defend our title!"

"It's really amazing! And, of course, I'm going to make good on my promise that we'll be officially starting construction of our new arena in the offseason! ”

"We've made an agreement with the city of Inglewood to build our own arena there!"

"No one can stop my determination! Inglewood's Great Western Arena will be history, and I bought this outdated arena, disputes are no longer a problem, and we don't have to share a locker room with the Lakers anymore. ”

"We're going to have a closer relationship with our new community, and we're going to move on to a new era for the Clippers!"

“.”

Hearing Steve Ballmer's announcement, everyone on the Clippers hurriedly followed suit, and for a while, there was a flood of sycophants in the bus.

Li Ze also noticed the news in Los Angeles in the past two days, because the city of Inglewood owns the Great Western Forum Arena, and Steve Ballmer's location is in conflict with this old arena, the two sides have not been able to reach an agreement before.

The Great Western Forum Arena belongs to MSG, which, like Madison Square Garden, is an asset of Dolan, and the completion of the new arena will inevitably affect the business of the Great Western Arena.

Undertaking concerts and competitions, every stadium is a carrier for making money, so no one wants to divide the market, and MSG will naturally not agree to one more competitor.

The two sides have been arguing for half a year, and Li Ze naturally learned about this situation when he accompanied the old man everywhere to watch the game away, but he really didn't expect Steve Ballmer to solve the problem in such a simple and crude way.

At the end of April, the two sides reached a settlement, and Steve Ballmer paid 310 million US dollars out of his own pocket to directly acquire the Great Western Forum Arena.

Buy this former Lakers home court, and the money ability solves all the problems at once!

The dispute was completely cleared, and in the past few days, the city hall of Inglewood City Hall and the Clippers have officially reached an agreement, and Steve Ballmer will invest 1 billion US dollars to build a modern arena.

This is big news in Los Angeles, the Clippers will have their own arena, which is to completely steal the Lakers' market.

Of course, there are various interests involved behind the establishment of a stadium, and the latest gossip in Los Angeles is that MSG once lobbied the Lakers to return to the Great Western Forum after their contract with Staples Arena expired.

After all, the Lakers won 6 championships there, and returning to this old arena can not only show the style of the giants, but also further suppress the Clippers' market.

The two arenas are about 1 kilometer apart, and if the Lakers are really ready to move, it will be really tough to the end.

At the same time, James Butz, the mayor of Inglewood, may have promised all kinds of preferential terms in order to win over the big financiers and get re-election.

Election opponents will not do anything, the Clippers have fought a lawsuit with MSG before, and behind the scenes, these politicians have also contributed a lot.

It took almost a year from site selection to the announcement of construction, and Steve Ballmer watched MSG start appealing the state environmental law again, continuing to delay the start of construction of the new arena, and finally the money capacity was on the rise, and the matter was completely settled.

In the past year, the gossip about the Clippers' new arena, the struggle of interests behind it has made the Los Angeles media laugh, regardless of whether the news is true or not, everyone is reporting, and the people who eat melons are also happy to watch it

However, Li Ze always felt that it was the championship issue that could make Steve Ballmer decide, and the Clippers just didn't have too much of a home atmosphere at Staples Arena.

Above the arena, a large area is covered with the Lakers' championship flag, although the Clippers currently have a championship, but every time they change venues, they have to cover the Lakers' flag

This situation is sad to look at, and it is no wonder that the Lakers have many fans, after all, the other party has accumulated for decades.

Steve Ballmer's mouth was dry, and his excitement was still unabated, and finally sat down on Li Ze's side, and said with some regret:

"It's a pity that the construction started this year, according to the plan, it will be officially opened to the public in September 2017, and we will move to our own stadium in the 17~18 season."

"The new arena will have a capacity of 18,000 spectators, Kayce, remember to set aside time in the off-season and we'll have a groundbreaking ceremony."

"Let's witness the birth of the new arena!"

The Clippers naturally can't predict the future, but this colorful cake still stimulates everyone to scream, and they can be regarded as witnessing history.

"Hopefully we can win the championship again this year and celebrate the construction of the new arena with the championship!"

Li Ze also doesn't want to share the locker room with the Lakers, and he also has some expectations for the new arena, and the unknown is always more fascinating.

Steve Ballmer laughed and kept patting Li Ze on the shoulder, with his net worth, he was a little distressed to spend so many beautiful knives, but as long as the team has good results, in Los Angeles, he will definitely be able to return to his roots.

This deal, in general, is not a loss!

On the night of the 13th, most fans had their eyes on the Thunder and Spurs game.

In the battle of Tianwang Mountain, the two sides fought extremely fiercely, and the Spurs' outside shooting rate decreased.

Despite a 37-20 frantic offense in the third quarter, the Thunder once again suppressed the Spurs with their excellent play in the final quarter.

With 32 seconds left before the end of the game, at 97:99, the Thunder still had a two-point lead, and Ginobili's desperate three-pointer instantly put the Spurs in the lead.

In the end, Ginobili hit one of two free throws, and the turtle relied on the free throws to drag the game into overtime.

In overtime, Tim Duncan kept scoring points, and the turtles and turtles played crazy iron, and in the end, at 112:107, the Spurs won the battle of Tianwang Mountain and successfully got the match point.

Russian City fans miss Li Ze very much, in overtime, Turtle Turtle was 1 of 7 and scored 4 points, and Durant was 0 of 3, and the score was zero.

Naturally, fans will not blame the team's star player, Turtle Turtle played 44 minutes, Durant played 52 minutes, the two played almost the whole game, and by overtime, the physical strength was already overdrawn.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Dior became the surprise of the Spurs in this game, 8 of 14 from the field, including 3 of 6 three-pointers, 7 of 10 free throws, and 26 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 3 turnovers.

The Thunder's short rotation ultimately paid the price, with the Turtle shooting 8-of-23, including 1-of-6 three-pointers, 17-of-18 free throws, including 1-of-6 three-pointers, and 34 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists, 6 steals and 7 turnovers.

Durant was 12-of-25 from the field, including 2-of-8 from three-point range, and finished with 31 points, 14 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 3 blocks and 7 turnovers.

The Thunder still have a chance to lose this game, but the Spurs have taken the initiative, and Amerika's sports media once again praised Popovich's selection of personnel, and the championship coach deserves his name.

In the other Eastern Conference semifinals, the Pacers pulled their hips again, thinking that they could complete the promotion at home, but after three quarters of the game, the Pacers scored 52 points.

The rebounds were blown into slag, and the Wizards grabbed 18 frontcourt rebounds, with a total rebounding count of 62:23, which stunned all ball critics.

Hibbert was 2 of 7, with 4 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, and the "No. 1 center in the East" did not show dominance at all, but was blown up by the Polish hammer Gortat.

He had 31 points and 16 rebounds on 13-of-15 shooting, and Gortat grabbed seven rebounds in the frontcourt alone, and the Pacers turned into a paper-mâché defense inside

To the hearts of the fans, the series will continue.

Li Ze watched these two games at Annie's house, and when he saw Ginobili's previous 6-0 three-pointers, he suddenly broke out, and suddenly felt that there was indeed some truth in relying on Manu in a desperate situation.

"Just watch the game, should we buy another house in Inglewood? Buy a bigger one, I feel that the house price over there will rise in the next few years. ”

Anne had just finished taking a shower, and at this time she was coming to Li Ze's side with a bunch of bottles and cans, and naturally took some body lotion and helped the black-haired royal sister apply it.

"The house in Beverly Hills is very good, and the most important thing is that the security here is reassuring, of course, if you want to change to a new home, we will buy a suite."

The black-haired royal sister's house is not big, but it is very close to UCLA, and the two live together very warmly, Li Ze just unbuttoned her shirt, and Anne suddenly turned red:

"Don't move! Alex also has a small house over there, but it's not very convenient to live in, so in July, we went there together. ”

The black-haired royal sister felt a chill in her body, and then she gave Li Ze a white look angrily, since unlocking this service, the two of them have played more and more, twisted Li Ze with a red face, and then dared to speak:

"I'll help you apply some of the essences that the company has just developed, and the big stars have to pay attention to maintenance."

Li Ze, who is good at understanding people's clothes, can't resist the black-haired royal sister, and lets the other party smear on his face:

"I don't think you've changed anything from when you were 21 years old, and the company has developed new products?"

"It's just that some product lines have been added, the FDA management is too strict, and cosmeceuticals are completely different from makeup, but in the future market, we will definitely be able to get a lot, and it will definitely make more money than Ling's records!"

Anne smiled and scribbled on Li Ze's face, after the acquisition for more than half a year, the company was completely on the right track, and the research and development of new products was also proceeding step by step, so the black-haired royal sister was in a good mood and teased Li Ze.

Seeing that the other party still wanted to continue wiping, Li Ze immediately hugged the black-haired royal sister in his arms, and the two instantly made a mess:

"I've got another great idea, we're going to make it tonight!"

Hearing Li Ze whispering in his ear, the more he talked, the more outrageous it became, Anne's face suddenly turned red, and she twisted it fiercely:

"Die! Sleep on your own tonight! ”

With the Western Conference Finals approaching, Li Ze also has to cooperate with the NBA league to carry out some promotional activities.

The new president, new atmosphere, trailers, pre-game interviews, makeup photos, media conferences, team interviews and other events have been arranged by the league for a whole bunch of events.

In the past, NBA TV didn't get involved in these activities at all, and most of them were initiated by ESPN or TNT, but this year the new president has big ambitions to redesign the league's official broadcast channel.

Li Ze didn't care about these activities, after all, it could add some influence to him, but Coach De Nagro didn't like it, thinking that too many media interviews would distract the players.

In a business league, everything has to be for the fans, and these pre-game packaging is essential!

On the morning of the 14th, after the NBA league interview shooting, Li Ze let out a sigh of relief, smiling the whole time, and laughing so much that his cheeks were sour.

Standing up, subconsciously moved his waist, he was almost exhausted last night, although his physical strength had recovered to his best, Li Ze still felt as if his body had been hollowed out.

The company is doing well, except for Keds, which has been mired in patent disputes lately, SkinMedica is stable and profitable, and the cosmeceutical market is really good.

"Kayce, keep going this year, we are optimistic that the Clippers will successfully defend their title!"

"Stay healthy, the Heat are definitely not your match!"

After the work was over, the staff on the alliance side also immediately gave Li Ze a sycophant.

"Haha, thanks, Bro! I'm definitely going to give it my all. ”

Li Ze smiled and greeted everyone, Chris Paul and Griffin were still being interviewed, the NBA league paid more attention to pre-game packaging, and every player on the Clippers team was given the opportunity to be interviewed this year.

By lunchtime, Chris Paul was already smiling, and he was approached by a number of advertisers this year, and if nothing else, another big deal came in the offseason.

"Don't you think about having a baby? At the age of 25, he had three children, almost just about 30 years old. ”

"Life is completely different when you have children, that's another kind of joy!"

Paul was in charge of taking care of the baby today, and when he saw his son greeting the two sensibly, he proudly suggested to Li Ze and Griffin.

Griffin is busy training this year, and his new girlfriend may be about to break up, and when he heard Paul's suggestion, he shrugged helplessly:

"I'm still young, and if I think about these things in a few years, my life is actually pretty good at the moment."

Li Ze looked weird, hooked up with Griffin's, and recently went to hook up with Durant.

Durant also specially asked Li Ze, for fear of misunderstanding, after all, sleeping with a friend's wife is taboo in the league.

It's only a French scumbag like Tony Parker who can do this.

Of course, the relationship between men and women has not been officially determined, so it doesn't matter, Li Ze always feels that there is a green hat on the head of the surface brother.

"The kid is up to chance, Blake, you'd better keep an eye on your chick and keep your eyes open!"

Griffin heard Li Ze reminding, his face was almost angry, he always dumped women, when did women play with him?

"Shet! Or Calika is the best for me! ”

Li Ze shook his head helplessly, Sometimes the relationship in the NBA circle is very messy, such as Griffin's ex-girlfriend, who has been fighting with little Jordan recently, these girls are actually running for the American knife, and the thick-skinned ones may be able to turn around in the team.

The home court of the Clippers, Kendall Jenner can often be seen this season, and this chick has always appeared at Li Ze and Griffin's parties in the past two years.

If it weren't for Griffin and Li Ze to pay attention, the gossip news might have spread all over the sky a long time ago.

Paul was afraid that Li Ze and Griffin would teach bad children, so he quickly changed the topic and said:

"It looks like the opponent in this year's Western Conference Finals is the Spurs again."

"The trio of Ginobili, Duncan, and Parker has won 111 playoff games, surpassing the legendary Lakers trio of Magic, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Cooper to become the NBA's all-time No. 1 winner, which is truly a great achievement."

Griffin was still a little unconvinced, and the lemon essence possessed him, and he couldn't help but complain:

"I don't like the combination of pay cuts, but the results they've achieved are really remarkable, Kayce, do you have any power forward shoes? Keds are all defenders. ”

Hearing such an inquiry, Li Ze immediately teased and said:

"Not yet, you know, capacity and channels are still expanding, are you leaving Jordan?"

Griffin groaned for a while, and finally shook his head depressedly, the agent calculated for him, no matter where he went, it was almost a contract of 6 million US dollars, in comparison, Jordan's brand is indeed very suitable for his personality, and he can fly and buckle.

Power forwards don't sell shoes, and as we all know, Keds hasn't designed big man sneakers, and they're all guards.

The three of them quickly chatted about sneaker endorsements, and Keds has developed rapidly in recent years, relying on the influence of heterogeneous midsole sneakers and Li Ze, attracting a large number of fans.

Secondary 2 teenagers like to be mavericks, what's wrong with not being wearable? Good looking and easy to wear, a pair a year!

As the market really bites off a piece, other brands are also ready to move, and Under Armour impressed Stephen Curry with sincerity in 2013.

Although the endorsement fee of 4 million US dollars is not much, becoming Under Armour's top star is a condition that other brands cannot provide.

In Nike, Durant and James are the top brands, and Adidas also has Derrick Rose, and if you want to be the top brand, you have to choose a new brand.

Growing up with the brand, the final harvest will definitely be much greater than ordinary endorsements, of course, this is also a risky move, through Curry's choice, it can naturally be seen that the second generation of the ball is actually quite ambitious.

There was only one game on the night of the 14th, and the Heat, who returned to their home court, did not waste the opportunity, 94:96, defeated the Nets with a difficult victory, eliminated the opponent with a big score of 4:1, and successfully reached the Eastern Conference finals.

Wade was back in form and scored 28 points on 10-of-18 shooting, LeBron James scored 29 points on 6-of-14 shooting, and Bosh also scored 16 points, and the Big Three once again showed their dominance.

Coach Rivers is bitter, if Lopez is not injured, maybe the situation will be completely different, Garnett is completely out of order, this game only scored 2 points on the offensive end.

Time has taken away the superstar's athleticism, and the old guys are about to retire completely.

To the disappointment of Celestial Empire fans, the UAE played 21 minutes, made 2 of 5, got 8 points and 8 rebounds, and the performance was not impressive.

However, some fans have also noticed that 8 points is already the fourth highest score for the Nets! This kind of scene makes everyone unable to complain.

The domestic media is not in the mood to continue to ridicule the UAE, and it is clear that Coach Rivers has his own preferences.

The man signed Glenn Davis after coming to the Nets, and if it weren't for the injury, maybe the UAE would have played less minutes.

The NBA is not about fighting and killing, and the NBA is full of human feelings

On May 15, at 93:80, the Pacers successfully defeated the Wizards, eliminated the opponent with a score of 4:2, and successfully entered the Eastern Conference Finals.

The game left fans drowsy, with both teams playing equally well from beyond the three-point line, with the Wizards even shooting 2-of-18 from the field to 11.1 percent from three-point range.

The Pacers' undominant performance also made the Eastern Conference Finals even official, and many Amica sports media spoke out:

"There is no suspense in the Eastern Conference Finals, and the Heat will reach the Finals again!"

In another focus battle, the old and spicy Spurs finally had the last laugh, 96:112, the Spurs easily defeated the Thunder and successfully reached the Western Conference Finals!

Danny Green played well, scoring 21 points on 7-of-10 shooting from beyond the three-point line, and the Spurs blossomed more, and the bench lineup was a complete rotation for the Thunder.

Durant scored 22 points on 8-of-20 shooting and 6-of-8 from the free-throw line, while Turtle scored 21 points on 7-of-21 shooting and 7-of-8 from the free-throw line.

When they needed to score the most, the two failed to step up and were eventually beaten by their opponents in the third quarter and lost the game.

At the press conference after the game, Popovich was in a good mood and took the initiative to praise the team's performance in the face of questions from reporters:

"Unlike teams like the Thunder and the Clippers, we're a team basketball team, and on the offensive end we share the ball altruistically, and everybody scores."

"We had 27 assists and only 11 turnovers in the end, so I'm so proud of my guys who showed what team basketball is all about!"

After the broadcast of this set of interviews the next day, many Russian City fans were so angry that they scolded, Reddit, and the Thunder team section set off a wave of nostalgia for Li Ze:

"Shit Spurs, when Kayce is here, they won't stand a chance!"

"If the trio is still on the team, let team basketball die! With our talent, we can crush everyone. ”

"Popovich must have forgotten what real talent basketball looks like, with Kayce, KD and Russell won't have so many turnovers, offensive and defensive ends, we're going to blow up the Spurs!"

"Even if the trio wins the championship like my grandmother, what are the Spurs, do they still have superstars? We have two MVPs. ”

“.”

The sour words of the fans naturally could not affect the Spurs, and Durant, who lost, was completely closed, and the Thunder shot 2 of 20 from the outside, with a 10% three-point shooting rate.

Thinking of such data, Durant misses Li Ze a little, when the trio team up, they don't have to worry about the firepower on the outside at all.

Although Presti promised that the team would definitely make up for it, Durant felt that the team's commitment was unreliable when he thought that the new Andre Roberson was also a refusal.

After returning to the city, Kleiman, the agent, couldn't help but sigh when he saw his big employer start to indulge in Twitter again:

"Kevin, if you want to leave Russia, we have to plan ahead, if the next broadcast contract is greatly raised, the salary cap will inevitably be raised, and there will be more options at that time!"

Durant, who was lying on the sofa, heard the agent's prompt, and said without raising his head:

"Even if I have to leave, I have to go to the championship team!"

After advancing to the Western Conference Finals, the Spurs were left with three days to recuperate, and on the 18th, the Eastern Conference Finals kicked off first.

In the case of not being favored, 96:107, the Pacers who played at home finally managed to defeat the Heat.

Wade was 12-of-18 from the field with 1 rebound, 4 assists and 3 turnovers from the field with 27 points, LeBron James was 11-of-18 from the field with 25 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 4 turnovers, and Bosh was 4-of-12 from the field and finished with just nine points.

The Pacers scored six double-doubles and blossomed more, and this performance made Ameli stuck on the wall and the grass fell to the Pacers.

"The Heat are completely finished! The Pacers will make it to the Finals! ”

On the night of the 19th, many fans in the Staples Arena chose to enter early, and tonight, the Clippers will face the Spurs at home.

Li Ze was wearing a light blue suit, and after driving his advertising car McLaren to the stadium, he was slapped in the face by the camera as soon as he got out of the car.

Note that Li Ze had a short haircut and grabbed a hedgehog head indiscriminately, and the media reporters at the scene began to take pictures frantically.

Since it was Coach Gnagro who was interviewed before the game, many media wanted to ask Li Ze questions after holding back their questions, and the scene was very lively for a while:

"Kayce, are you confident that you can win tonight's fight?"

"Popovich says the Spurs are great team basketball? What do you think about this? ”

"Kayce, why isn't Shakira's new album singled? Do you really have a crystallization of love? ”

Hearing such a question, the corners of Li Ze's mouth twitched, what the hell is this! Seeing a large number of people continuing to surround him, he finally had to smile and say:

"No matter what kind of tactics, the ultimate goal is to win! So, no need to argue, just watch the game with peace of mind, and remember to cheer for the Clippers! ”

The team's staff hurriedly kept these boring reporters out, and the Clippers didn't want the media to affect the team's state.

As the game time approached, the atmosphere became more and more hot, and when the DJ introduced the Clippers players to the game, the fans began to scream and give their own cheers.

The Spurs looked calm, and this year was a battle for revenge for them.

On the commentary bench of ESPN at the scene, Jeff Van Gundy wore a black suit and a red tie, facing the camera, and quickly introduced the starting lineup of the Spurs:

"It looks like Popovich is still jealous of the Clippers' interior strength."

"In the starting line-up, Tony Pa Kerk and Danny Green were at the back, with Kawhi Leonard and Tim Duncan up front and Split at center"

"Compared to the semifinals, the Spurs haven't made too many adjustments."

Commentator Mike Brin also gave an update on the Clippers' starters:

'Matt Barnes was given another start tonight and it was clear that Coach De Nagro seems to prefer experienced players.

The two casually commented that the highlight of the game was whether the Spurs could continue to shoot exaggerated shooting percentages from the outside.

After the two sides completed the final warm-up, Li Ze wore the white jersey of the Clippers' home court, checked the elbow pad of his left arm for the last time, and then calmly bumped fists with the Spurs, and then stood behind the right side of the center circle.

Leonard looked at Li Ze directly, his task tonight is to limit Li Ze's play.

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

In the cheers of the fans at the scene, Jordan Jr. easily jumped to the offensive possession, and after Paul received the ball, he quickly dribbled across the half.

In the first offensive round, Paul gave the ball to Griffin in the left elbow area of the free throw line for the first time, and then quickly cut in and ran to the bottom right corner.

Li Ze, who was walking the baseline at the right blocking position, took advantage of the situation and Paul to make a cross cover, and then suddenly accelerated, made an arc, briefly got rid of Leonard's entanglement, and completed a hand-to-hand pass with Griffin.

After Li Ze got the ball in the elbow area, Griffin immediately dismantled it, and Li Ze put the ball with his right hand and moved to the free throw line.

Leonard's pursuit was fast, constantly interfering on his side, and at the same time, Duncan was also the first to delay, and the Spurs were very resolute.

Under the encirclement of the two, Li Ze, who dribbled to the free throw line, first pulled the defense, and then pretended to break through with the ball in his right hand, Duncan subconsciously slid to the left back, and the next second, he saw the ball grazing his fingertips and hitting the ground and passing to Griffin.

The latter received the pass and immediately went down, rushed up in three steps and hit the basket directly, Duncan who returned to the defense was half a beat slower, Split under the basket just moved, and Griffin threw the ball off the upper right side of the basket.

Little Jordan, who was lying in ambush near the basket, jumped up, grabbed the ball with both hands, and then poured the ball into the basket fiercely!

"Oh!!"

The wonderful air connection cooperation made the fans on the scene shout excitedly.

The coaching staff of the Clippers team naturally took precautions, as long as they hit Li Ze at the first time, there will definitely be opportunities to play more and less, and as long as they don't spit out the cake at this time, the score is still very easy.

The opening dunk directly ignited the atmosphere of the scene, and everyone in the Spurs didn't care, and sent out the baseline ball step by step.

The Spurs' offense wasn't fast-paced, and Parker completed a high-pitch pick-and-roll with Duncan immediately after half-time.

The ball suddenly accelerated in his left hand, and Duncan's solid cover allowed Parker to successfully escape Paul's defense.

Griffin's defensive position was not up or down, and seeing that Duncan seemed to want to go down, he subconsciously did not choose to help defend it, and as a result, Parker made an easy mid-range jumper in the left elbow area of the free throw line.

"Bang!" The ball hit the front of the rebound, and as soon as it popped up, Jordan Jr. jumped up under the basket and successfully protected the rebound in the backcourt.

Everyone in the Spurs hurriedly retreated, and the fans at the scene saw Paul rushing fast, and shouted excitedly again.

Excellent defensive discipline allowed the Spurs to quickly complete the defensive alignment, Parker delayed Paul at the top of the arc, and Split noticed that Jordan Jr. came to the three-point line to block and immediately cheered up for 12 points.

Paul, who held the ball in his right hand, took advantage of Jordan Jr.'s cover to easily get rid of Parker's pursuit, and Split made a big delay at the first time and did not give Paul a chance to score easily.

As Paul was on the move, his right wrist suddenly flicked, and he instantly made a feint to hit the ground and pass the ball, and the ball bounced to the floor and returned to his hand again.

Split was shaken so much that he subconsciously helped defend Jordan Jr., and when he reacted again, he saw Paul drifting to the right and making a back-to-back jumper!

"Huh!" A two-pointer was scored.

Coach Popovich on the sidelines couldn't help frowning secretly when he saw that the Clippers didn't stumble on Li Ze after the opening.

In the next few minutes, when Li Ze encountered a delay bag, he would immediately give the ball to Griffin's or Jordan Jr.

Leonard was depressed to find that Li Ze's ability to play the ball was not afraid of the bag at all, and Griffin scored the ball under the basket for several rounds in a row.

The faster he gets to the shot, the more chances Griffin has to keep scoring.

In this offensive round, it was Li Ze's ball again, Griffin was in the right blocking area, Duncan, who assisted in the defense, had not had time to make defensive moves, Griffin, who received the pass, did not make adjustments, and made a steady jump shot in the middle distance!

"Huh!" Two more points!

Griffin, who found his touch, smiled and high-fived Li Ze in celebration, and the Clippers were well prepared for this game, playing inside first, and then moving the offense to the outside once the Spurs gave up the bag.

With 7 minutes and 31 seconds left in the first quarter, the score on the court came to 8:14, Griffin scored 8 points alone, and Li Ze delivered 3 assists.

The Spurs attacked again, with Duncan in the right elbow of the free throw line in the high field, Parker's cut, and Danny Green's hand-to-hand at the same time.

Noticing Danny Green's quick start from the right corner, Duncan released the ball, held the ball in his right hand and moved to the right wing outside the three-point line.

Just when the two were about to complete the hand-to-hand pass, Li Ze's shoulder opened the way, and his right shoulder hit a gap, squeezing through the two in time.

Before Danny Green, who put the ball in his left hand, could react to protect the ball, Li Ze cut the ball accurately and cut the ball off with his right hand.

The moment he dropped the ball, Danny Green wanted to turn around and grab back, but Li Ze's movements were faster, his left hand instantly pulled the ball, and then moved the ball forward, and then ran without the ball, accelerating wildly.

Danny Green, who almost lost his body's center of gravity, first stumbled, and then desperately chased after the defense, but Li Ze's dribbling speed was getting faster and faster, and he just took one step past the free throw line, took off directly, slid in the air, and slammed a strong one-arm dunk!

"Boom!" Convert the dunk to get it!

The cheers in his ears made Danny Green completely numb, and such a scene reminded him of last year's Western Conference Finals, and he shouldn't have been forced to dribble.

Li Ze, who completed the dunk, smiled at Danny Green and sent his praise:

"Wonderful assist!"

In the Western Conference semifinals, Li Ze received a purple badge:

Achievement Badge [Bronze Wall] :(can be fused)

Reduces the likelihood of being bypassed and dodged by attackers, and consumes the opponent's stamina when the body makes contact, reducing the physical exertion of defensive movements.

Li Ze is very satisfied with the bonus effect of this badge, and his defensive skills have been further strengthened, and this steal is more crisp and neat than before.

In the first quarter of the game, as Li Ze and Paul delivered cakes in a row, Griffin was like a fish in water and continued to help the Clippers score points.

Coach Popovich was very hard-headed, insisting on wrapping Li Ze and Paul until the end of the first quarter of the game, when the old man twitched the corners of his mouth, and the situation was not good

At 18:30, Griffin scored 14 points on 6-of-9 shooting and 2-of-2 free throws in the first quarter.

Li Ze was 2 of 2, 2 of 2 free throws, 6 points and 5 assists, and the goals in the athletic battle all came from the transition offense.

All five of the Clippers' starters scored.

As the second quarter was about to begin, Coach De Nagro gave an interview to Doris Burke, smiling at the camera and saying:

"The Spurs are a good team, but I don't agree with them, and if you look at our performance in the first quarter, we can play so-called team basketball as well!"
