Chapter 360: The Old Guy Who Made Bad (10,000-Word Chapter)

In the Western Conference semifinals G2, as the game progressed, Popovich became more and more helpless.

As a team with excellent discipline, the Spurs rarely make mistakes in crucial games.

This has always been the key to the Spurs' victory, reducing turnovers, defending well and waiting for opponents to make mistakes.

But it's a pity that after Li Ze joined the Clippers, he formed the league's top backcourt, and the Clippers became more and more brilliant in their control of the game.

This season, the Clippers averaged just 11.3 turnovers per game in the regular season, the league's first.

Such data also shows the strength of the Clippers, with the most rounds and the fewest turnovers, and many games are not where the Clippers play better, but the opponent makes more mistakes, giving the Clippers a chance to score easily.

With 1:22 left in the first quarter, both the Clippers and Spurs rotated their personnel.

However, the most helpless thing for the Spurs coaching staff was that the Clippers did not make a mistake in the first quarter.

The Spurs have done it to the extreme, and the team has no other mistakes other than Split dropping the ball under the basket.

There was one mistake in a single quarter, and the team did not give the Clippers too many chances, but the score on the court came to 20:28.

Relying on the transition offense and the individual play of the stars, the Clippers easily overpowered the Spurs.

Paul, Barnes and Griffin went off the pitch with 3:32 left in the first quarter, and the Clippers rotated their personnel on a regular basis.

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

The music and cheers of the fans continued, and with the team playing well, the Spurs were a little bit broken by nearly double-digit points behind.

After Ginobili came on the court, he replaced Danny Green, who didn't feel good, Split was also replaced by Dio, and the Spurs GDP combination was still on the court, and everyone didn't want to be robbed of the start by the Clippers

Jokic was very active after he came on the court, and Li Ze held the ball past half court and immediately came to the right wing outside the three-point line to block high.

The Spurs had already adopted a trap defense, and Dio immediately cooperated with Leonard to help defend the trap.

The two stepped forward to block Li Ze at the same time, and Jokic immediately went down at this time, and after receiving the pass, he didn't stop the ball, and came to the free throw line with the ball in his right hand.

Duncan didn't immediately choose to help defend it, Jokic slowed down, twisted his body and just took a step past the free throw line, and came with an easy throw.

"Huh!" Two-pointer again!

The Clippers fans cheered again, everyone has seen this scene three times, although the white fat man is not fast, but the projectile in the paint area is very stable.

Duncan is also a little helpless, of course he has tried to help defend, but as long as the defense is too big, the second-round show on the opposite side can still show the pass and give the little Jordan under the basket a cake.

There is a price to be paid for the pack, which is why the Spurs did not make mistakes and failed to turn the game around, and the Clippers always had players in their heads on the court who played exceptionally reasonably.

Jokic scored points again, looked extremely happy, trotted all the way with a smile, returned to the half court to prepare for defense, noticed that the difference had come to 10 points, and the white fat man even wanted to ask rhetorically:

"Western Conference semifinals? That's it? ”

Leonard was average on the offensive end of the first quarter, so after Ginobili came on the court, the veteran wanted to pinch Crawford's soft persimmon.

On the left wing outside the three-point line, using Dio's blocking and dismantling cover, getting rid of Crawford's defense, facing Jokic who came up with the switch, pretending to break through with the ball in his left hand, suddenly retreating after dribbling, and quickly jumping outside the three-point line!

"Bang!"

The moment the ball hit the front of the basket, the Clippers fans cheered, the rebound was protected by Jordan Jr., Li Ze signaled to slow down after receiving the ball, and finally pressed for 8 seconds and dribbled steadily through the half.

After several rounds in a row, the Spurs switched defenses.

It was also the top of the arc and Jokic's blocking, this time the white fat man did not go down, but used his body to successfully delay Leonard.

Dior, who came up from the switch, saw Li Ze holding the ball in his left hand quickly in and out, and he didn't know what defensive choice to make for a while.

Taking advantage of the moment when the opponent lost his mind, without any fancy shaking, Li Ze accelerated with all his strength and broke through Dior's defense in an instant.

Dior only felt that the flower in front of him was gone, and subconsciously shouted:

"Come on!"

Li Ze's breakthrough speed was extremely fast, and Duncan heard the shouts of his teammates and subconsciously came to the paint area.

Before he could jump up the block, Li Ze jumped with both feet after stepping up, ignoring Duncan, who was about to jump to help defend, jumped high, grabbed the ball with one hand with his left hand, and smashed the buckle with his arm!

“Kayce with the drive,Boom!”

“A Thunderous dunk!! (Thunderous dunk!) )”

The huge impact almost made Duncan hit the street again, and the commentator Marv Albert screamed excitedly, and the Staples Arena instantly exploded.

After landing on the ground, Li Ze just smiled slightly, then raised his hands and signaled the scene to be louder, so happy that the Clippers fans screamed again, and the atmosphere team also flicked the towels.

Dio looked at Duncan, who was a little embarrassed, and could only raise his hand to indicate that it was his defensive problem.

On the Spurs bench, the atmosphere group looked stupid, this kind of explosiveness is just like a helicopter, and when it comes to it, the elderly Duncan can't stand it

"Nice cover!"

Taking advantage of the retreat, Li Ze patted Jokic, the white fat man played for a season and basically adapted to the rhythm of the NBA.

The most important thing is that, compared to Hawes and Jordan Jr., this one knows better when to go down and what to move out of space to make Li Ze play comfortably.

The Spurs attacked Crawford and Jokic on the offensive end, and Crawford and Tucker also started attacking Ginobili and Parker.

Both sides tried to pinch the soft persimmon and wanted to score more easily, and in the last 1 minute, they hit each other with iron.

At the end of the first quarter, at 22:34, the Clippers took a 12-point lead.

Leonard, who walked to the bench, was a little tired, and he played the full first quarter tonight, playing decently, shooting 3-of-8 for six points.

A large number of shots could not solve the Spurs' offensive problems, and Leonard had no way to face Li Ze's defense

Popovich saw the listlessness of the players, and couldn't help but curse in his heart:

"Hell the schedule! Hell a super team! ”

The Spurs have enjoyed Duncan's dividends in the past, and championships and victories have not been difficult for them, but what makes Popovich unable to complain is that at the end of his career, they faced another player who made his debut at the top of his game.

History is like a cycle, there will always be people who enjoy the dividends brought by the players, but unfortunately it is not the Spurs who will benefit this time.

In the first quarter of the game, the Spurs changed at least 4 defensive strategies to try to limit Li Ze's play.

Packing, assisting defense, strong delay on the line, and catching the ball around the front line on the line, except for the good defense of the three-point shot, there is basically no effect.

Popovich is a bit broken, how should this game be played?

On the commentary bench of TNT on the spot, Reggie Miller entered Li Zechui mode again:

"That's why Kayce was elected MVP! Score without dead ends, no matter what kind of defense you face, you can show it with ease. ”

Chris Webb quipped at this time with his partner next to him:

"That's because Kayce's team has good players like Chris Paul and Blake Griffin, while the Spurs have a very aging roster in comparison."

Commentator Marv Albert hurriedly changed the topic at this time, for fear that these two would directly turn the game into a debate competition:

"The Spurs did have some problems with their offense, but Kayce played too well, 6-of-8, 2-of-2 from the free-throw line, 14 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, all of which came from the restricted area, and the Spurs also had problems protecting the basket."

On the Clippers bench, Griffin was a little depressed, and he was whistled for two fouls in the first quarter of the game, and the second was a mobile cover

"I don't like tonight's blowing scale, can't the referee unify the standard? Shet! Playing time will definitely be affected. ”

Griffin covered his mouth with a towel and complained to Li Ze beside him in a low voice, and the apparent brothers wanted to beat the old guy violently.

"In the next three quarters of the game, just pay attention to the cover action, as for why the blowing penalty standards are inconsistent, you know, if it is really like G1, the score difference can be even greater."

Of course, Li Ze knew that G1's projection on the outside was too fierce and enjoyed the convenience of moving blocking, so the G2 referee's whistle became much stricter, and the league also hoped that the playoffs could be more intense.

The league's whistle is becoming more and more flexible, which also has a lot to do with the broadcast contract.

In October '14, the NBA league reached an agreement with ESPN and TNT to sign a new TV broadcast cooperation contract for a sky-high price of 24 billion US dollars over 9 years.

The signing was so successful that it was 3 times the annual broadcast fee in the past!

In November 2014, the new president published an article in the New York Times expressing support for the legalization of spinach in the NBA.

The new broadcast contract will come into effect in 16 years, and now the league has begun to transform, after all, the legalization of spinach in the future must also have a foreshadowing.

In this case, the referee's whistle is destined to be more and more flexible, serving the fans, serving the spinach, and finally serving the competitiveness.

Most of the players don't care about these at all, but Li Ze has been deliberately collecting information, and has already detected the new president's thoughts from the clues, which is also completely consistent with the memory in his mind.

Griffin is not used to the current whistle, and can only say that the surface brothers are still too simple, and the real mobile blocking and dismantling has not yet been launched.

In the regular season, the referee will blow the national live broadcast, and in the playoffs, in order to ensure the intensity of the game, the blowing penalty scale will definitely jump repeatedly in the series, and whether you can seize the opportunity depends on the player's performance.

Paul played very well on the court with the bench lineup, blocking three-pointers and breaking up the Spurs' defense.

Mills felt good after coming on the court, just broke through in the last round, and looking back, Paul played the No. 5 position to block and dismantle, with the help of Jokic's cover, get rid of the defense, the top of the arc, and shoot a stop-and-go jumper!

"Huh!" Three-point shot hollow into the net!

Li Ze on the bench stood up, flicked the towel wildly, and shouted happily with the atmosphere group.

The Clippers fans at the scene also cheered loudly, and the wind was dripping!

On the Clippers bench, Dudley and Hawes looked very depressed, and Coach De Nagro put out a rotation of Paul, Crawford, Tucker, Ingles, and Jokic tonight.

The white fat man frequently stood at the free throw line, and the Clippers were almost a 5-5 lineup, and despite their average performance on the defensive end, the offensive space was excellent.

When there wasn't much pressure in the game, there were always opportunities from beyond the three-point line, and Popovich saw the big delay fail, and Jokic assisted Tucker to steal the chicken, and immediately called a timeout.

At 32:46, there were 7 minutes and 27 seconds left in the second quarter, and the difference in the score on the court did not narrow.

Mills and Dio scored in a row, but the Clippers also blossomed more, Popovich of course knew that this was a defensive problem, but looking at the players on the bench, he was a little speechless for a while.

Belinelli was distraught by Ingles' small movements, and the two had frequent verbal altercations on the field.

Coupled with the coaxing of the fans at the scene, the patronage was angry in the past few minutes after the game, and the score was hung up again.

Popovich thought about it, and finally beckoned to Parker:

"Tony, you play first! We have to pick up the tempo and try to narrow the gap to less than 10 points at half-time! ”

With Belinelli off the court, the Spurs put on a two-guard lineup, but such a change of formation did not help the offense, and Parker hit three irons in anger after coming on the court.

With 4 minutes and 12 seconds left in the first half, Li Ze replaced Paul and returned to the court.

At 38:53, the Clippers still led by 15 points, and Paul looked relaxed and exchanged fists with Li Ze before slowly walking to the bench.

"Excellent performance! Paul has made it to the 180 club this season, his best season since a major injury. ”

"5-of-9 in the half, 2-of-4 from beyond the three-point line, 2-of-2 from the free-throw line, 14 points, 2 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 1 turnover, it seems that Paul has a chance to continue to get a double-double tonight."

Chris Webber has affirmed Paul's play, and Chairman Cannon has been very efficient since entering the playoffs.

Leonard, who was the same as Li Ze, also returned to the court after most of the break.

Watching Li Ze hold the ball in his left hand and dribble across the half court, Leonard immediately lowered his body center of gravity, stared at Li Ze's movements with wide eyes.

First signaled that there was no need to block and dismantle, Li Ze noticed that the Spurs did not seem to have the intention of wrapping up, quickly lowered the center of gravity of his body, and then continued to dribble under his hips, slowly approaching the three-point line.

The body continued to shake with the rhythm of the dribble, looking at Li Ze who was moving left and right, Leonard didn't dare to get too close for a while.

At the moment when he was close to the three-point line, Li Ze's body shook to the left, quickly changed direction under his crotch, and then accelerated with all his strength with the ball in his right hand.

Leonard desperately slid to the left back, and the moment he came to the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line, Li Ze suddenly stopped sharply, and then dribbled vigorously on the spot.

Taking advantage of Leonard's slight pause, he quickly changed direction in front of his body, then drifted to the left, and threw a mid-range backward jumper from the free throw line!

“Kayce is on fire! That's good! ”

Easy solo scores, commentator Marv-Albert's tone is more and more brisk.

"Bro, we need to work harder!"

After completing the goal, Li Ze also patted Leonard next to him to show encouragement.

Leonard felt that his defense was not out of position, but he was very frustrated when he thought of Li Ze's range of movements.

He could feel that Li Ze was stronger, the combination of the ball and the timing of the shot had improved a lot compared to before, the defense failed, and Leonard was not in the mood to respond to Li Ze, and continued to run to the half court in a low-key manner.

The cheers of the fans seemed to irritate the Spurs, and in the second half of the second quarter, Duncan and Parker continued to shoot.

This is the time Griffin was waiting for, and as soon as Duncan was close to the low post to ask for the ball, he would continue to increase his physical confrontation.

Strong basket caused Jordan Jr.'s foul, Duncan, who stood on the free throw line, hit the first free throw, Griffin immediately clapped his hands happily, and when the second free throw was still knocked out of the basket, the Clippers fans immediately cheered loudly.

The rebound was protected by Griffin, and after Li Ze received the ball, he slowly passed the half court again.

After falling behind by a large score and encountering the slowed down Clippers, everyone in the Spurs was anxious, and they reacted to the defense by attacking Li Ze in advance.

Danny Green let go of Barnes on the right flank, raised his hands high, and cooperated with Leonard to flank Lee.

It's just that the defensive intention is too obvious, Mr. Li Ze moved back, attracted the defense, and immediately jumped up to pass the ball to Barnes in the empty space.

The latter received the ball, without any hesitation, and quickly jumped from beyond the three-point line!

"Huh!" Three-pointer again!

The Spurs watched as Barnes also raised three fingers, and immediately realized that the Clippers were completely open from the outside.

The bag at the top of the arc is naturally not a good defensive choice, but Popovich no longer roared loudly at this time, but sat back on the bench with a calm expression.

Watching Duncan hit the iron, Li Ze switched offense, and made an easy layup, and the bad old man couldn't help but complain to the assistant coach next to him:

"We played too soft! When you get back at home, everybody has to be tough! ”

The assistant coach failed to respond immediately, and he was a little powerless to complain:

"No matter how tough you are, you can't solve the problem of striking iron."

Watching Ginobili hit another shot at the top of the arc outside the three-point line, the Spurs bench and the atmosphere group were out of emotion.

The long rebound popped up just when Barnes picked it up, and found Li Ze as soon as possible, and the Clippers launched a transition offense.

Accelerating along the left touchline, Li Ze and Leonard tangled with each other through the half.

On the left flank, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, quickly dribbled the ball behind his back, shook his body to the right, pretended to break through, deceived Leonard's defense, and changed direction sharply in front of him in an instant.

Getting rid of Leonard's defense, Li Ze came to the three-point line with the ball in his left hand and suddenly stopped, and then raised the ball to shake it, Leonard, who was out of position, overreacted and immediately jumped up from the side to pounce.

Seeing Li Ze twisting his body and hanging him to force his shot, Leonard was numb

"Squeak!"

"Huh!" Whistle Ball In!

This was Li Ze's first three-pointer in this game, and fans saw Li Ze smiling and walking to the free throw line, cheering happily again:

“MVP! MVP! MVP! ”

Li Ze took a deep breath and added a free throw to hit steadily, and the score on the court came to 45:65, with the last 41 seconds left in the first half of the game.

The point difference came to 20 points, Ginobili completely broke the defense, and the offensive end forced Crawford, but came to the basket and was blocked by Griffin.

After controlling the ball, Griffin immediately threw the ball to Li Ze, and then accelerated without the ball and rushed across the half court.

Leonard's sticking defense prevented Li Ze from getting up to speed at the first time, noticing that the surface brothers gestured, and when he was close to the three-point line, Li Ze quickly threw the ball to the upper right of the basket.

When the ball arrived, Griffin quickly took off into the air, and just after catching the ball in the air, Ginobili, who was chasing back, crashed directly into Griffin.

The sudden collision caused Griffin to lose his balance, hit his back on the ground, and slammed horizontally on the floor.

"Oh!"

The audience in the front row saw Griffin fall extremely hard, and subconsciously let out an exclamation.

A very obvious act of revenge, and then seeing Ginobili raise his hand to express his innocence, Li Ze was furious:

"Fark!"

With a scolding and was about to rush up to theorize, Crawford hurriedly hugged Li Ze:

"There's Matt here, Kayce! Calm down! ”

Ginobili was still expressing his innocence, constantly shouting to the referee:

"I just didn't have time to brake! I didn't mean to foul! ”

Matt Barnes has never been a good-tempered person, and when he saw that the other party was still pretending to be innocent, he scolded and threw his fist directly:

"Falk squid! Your shit action ruined this game! ”

Before the linesman could react, Barnes went up with two old punches, followed by a takedown, and both fell under the basketball hoop at the same time.

Split was afraid that his teammates would suffer, so he immediately rushed forward, but was stopped by Jordan Jr. halfway, and the two instantly twisted into a ball.

The referee kept blowing the whistle, Aaron Baines on the Spurs bench took the lead in the charge, a bunch of people all rushed over, Dudley also rushed into the court with the atmosphere group, and for a while the basketball hoop was full of people.

The fans at the scene also coaxed, and the fans in the front row shouted:

"Falk squid! Get out of Los Angeles! ”

The new president, Adam Silva, was in a good mood, sitting in the front row and watching the game with a smile, but when such a scene appeared, the corners of his mouth immediately twitched.

On MVP Awards Night, there was a brawl in the Western Conference semifinals.

It wasn't until the referee and the on-site security personnel separated everyone that the referee realized that Griffin appeared to be badly injured and lying on the floor in pain.

The Clippers gathered around Griffin, and after a detailed examination by the team doctor, he immediately signaled for the stretcher to enter.

Li Ze scolded secretly in his heart, Ginobili, the old guy, was not afraid of losing face, and took matters into his own hands

With a big lead, a simple fast break can still appear like a moth, and the Clippers fans saw Griffin being carried off the court and yelled at the Spurs again.

The game was broadcast live across the United States, and the shouting and scolding were endless, and President Adam Silva completely understood the enthusiasm of the Los Angeles fans

Referee Scott Foster saw that the scene was finally under control, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, the league's top management is here tonight, and it is a dereliction of duty to appear in this scene.

As the referee announced that Ginobili and Matt Barnes were ejected from the game for a second-degree malicious foul, the fans at the scene began to curse the referee again:

“Referee sucks! Referee sucks! Referee sucks! ”

Ginobili, who had received two punches, finally walked calmly to the players' tunnel, and Matt Barnes also took off his jersey, said goodbye to his teammates, and walked off the court quickly.

Coach De Nagro almost blew up, and the main player in garbage time was injured, and he seriously suspected that it was an off-the-market move by the Spurs.

"Don't worry about Blake! Win the game and Chris will take the free throws! ”

Hearing the head coach's words, Paul nodded depressedly, Li Ze was substituted, and the fans were still booing the Spurs.

With six seconds left in the half, no one was paying attention to the score, and the sports media excitedly launched a tweet.

Soon, social media was full of news of Griffin's retirement.

At halftime, 47:67, the Clippers had sealed the win.

On the commentary bench of TNT, Chris Webber seemed to be still reminiscing about the conflict just now, and then suddenly said with emotion:

"This is the NBA, you can never predict what will happen until the game is over!"

"Hopefully Blake Griffin is fit and that's so important as the Clippers' leading scorer."

Reggie Miller spoke bluntly about Ginobili's behavior at this time:

'It was an obvious revenge move and I can understand the mood of the Spurs, but being down by 20 points and this happening, to be honest, is really ugly.

"If there was no foul, it would have been a beautiful open dunk that ruined tonight's game."

In the visiting locker room, Popovich didn't say much, they were the profit-making side, Ginobili was suspended, and the Clippers were likely to be attritional.

"Play with peace of mind, we have to return to the home stadium healthy!"

Hearing Popovich's words, the Spurs didn't say anything, just nodded silently, they may have a chance to reverse the series

In the Clippers locker room, everyone was more concerned about Griffin's injury, and the team doctor was a little unsure, but finally spoke:

"There is a high probability that Blake has a stress fracture in the back, and of course, a detailed examination is required."

As soon as Paul heard about the fracture, he secretly scolded the Spurs in his heart, and Li Ze also frowned, of course he knew that stress fractures were mostly caused by fatigue.

The Clippers have indeed played more games in recent years, and the surface brothers' bodies still haven't withstood it, and if the injury is confirmed, Griffin will definitely miss the playoffs.

"Shet! This kind of point difference also comes to foul, and the other party must have done it on purpose! ”

"This injury will definitely rest for a few months, last year there was an air conditioning accident, and this year it was even a direct move, the shitty Spurs must not be able to afford to lose."

They all eat in the alliance, and this kind of action is smashing people's jobs, which naturally arouses the anger of the crowd.

"Pick up this game first, and we'll go visit Blake in the evening, Fack! I shouldn't have thrown an empty one. ”

Li Ze was also a little annoyed, but in the end he still relaxed his vigilance, the past few years have been too smooth, and he almost forgot the fine traditions of the Spurs

The angry Clippers made the game whistle frequently, and the referees became more and more strict in order to control the game.

Li Ze played the third quarter, and in the fourth quarter, the Spurs directly changed to the atmosphere group, and Popovich did not struggle and quickly admitted defeat.

"Maybe the series will change, but the Clippers showed their dominance again tonight."

"Winning two games in a row by a big score has already shown the difference in strength between the two sides, and G3 is very crucial for the Spurs."

Chris Webb stopped talking about the game, entered garbage time, the suspense was gone, and the three began to talk off topic.

"Blake Griffin's injury could be a turning point for the Clippers this season."

"Unexpected attrition is the worst-case scenario for a team aiming to defend the title, and of course, I hope Griffin is fit."

Reggie Miller also felt that the foul could change the rest of the series, and Marv Albert agreed with this sentiment very much, adding:

"I think the fans will definitely be concerned about Blake Griffin's injury tonight."

"In the G2 game, the Clippers broke out at multiple points, and Kayce was still efficient, playing 29 minutes, 12 of 18, 2 of 3 three-pointers, 6 of 7 free throws, and 32 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 1 turnover."

"I'm confident that the Clippers can get through it eventually."

The game became boring, the fans lost their emotions after a lot of scolding, and the referee still punished him strictly, which caused the game to go on very slowly.

By the time the final hum sounded, at 95:118, the Clippers defeated the Spurs again, and the series score also came to 2:0.

After the game, the players from both sides briefly shook hands, and then the Spurs quickly walked to the players' tunnel.

Coach De Nagro was in a bad mood and opened fire directly at the post-match press conference:

"It's hard for me to understand that this kind of action can happen on the basketball court, we're already 20 points ahead, and the game is long gone."

"Blake just finished blocking in the last round, and in the next round he was viciously fouled by the opponent, the league must make a punishment, I don't want to hear any explanation, it is a retaliatory move!"

Later, when Li Ze and Paul attended the press conference, the sports reporters on the scene enthusiastically asked questions:

"Kayce, if Blake is going to miss the rest of the playoffs, will that bother you guys?"

Li Ze was in a bad mood, but he still patiently replied:

"Of course, Blake is an important scoring point for us, and he can provide a lot of energy on both ends of the floor!"

"It's going to be one game at a time, and I'm sure the Clippers will keep winning, we're a championship team, and we're not going to be crushed by difficulties."

“.”

When the Clippers went to visit Griffin in the evening, the diagnosis report came out, and it was just as predicted by the team doctor, a stress fracture of the back.

The good news is that Griffin's injury doesn't require surgery and doesn't cause too much damage to the body, and the bad news is that the season is out and the surface brother needs to recuperate for at least two to three months.

Griffin in the ward was depressed to death, and his body was basically immobilized.

The doctor told him that it was an injury caused by fatigue, and the apparent brothers were speechless about it, Li Ze played longer than him, consumed more than him in each game, and the result is still alive and kicking.

And he fell and broke his bones directly, thinking of this, in addition to scolding Ginobili for being a person, Griffin also had lemons in his heart, and even his body couldn't compare to Li Ze

"Rest in peace, Blake! We're going to bring the trophy back to Los Angeles, and we've played more games in the last few years. ”

When Paul saw the injury report, he also felt a little emotional, Li Ze and James's bodies are simply iron, and compared with them, the two have played more games.

"Recover well, don't worry about the playoffs, we can definitely defend our title this year."

Li Ze looked at Griffin, who was fixed on the bed, and also comforted him, this can be regarded as an old unlucky bastard.

Griffin's family also came to the hospital, and everyone's comforting voices made the surface brother more and more depressed, he was not worried about his injury, but complained silently in his heart:

"If you win the championship this year, you will definitely not be able to take off the label of lying crown"

As the Clippers officially announced Griffin's injury and announced the reimbursement of the season, Clippers fans could only send consolation, while fans of other teams began to gloat.

On Reddit, fans of the Rockets and Warriors jumped up and down, and fans of the Cavaliers and Bulls were also happy:

"If the Clippers don't win the championship with 73 wins, then they're going to be the biggest joke in the league!"

"Comfortable! That's what happens when you build a super team, and I want to see Kayce fail! ”

"The Warriors are going to win the championship, no one is going to be our opponent, Stephen Curry is going to get his revenge, this is his season."

"Shet! You've only won one game, and Team Rocket is the champion! Howard will dominate the box and this year is the perfect time for us to win the title. ”

"LeBron James finally sees his chance, and trust me, the Cavaliers will break the curse and win the championship!"

"Derrick Rose's chance is here, and this year we added Gasol to eliminate the Cavaliers and face a Western Conference team that doesn't have a lot of experience in the playoffs, and we have a chance to win the championship."

"I think you need to respect the Hawks, we just won against the Wizards, and don't forget this season, the Hawks have a 60-win record, wonderful team basketball, the Hawks are the champions!"

"That's the biggest joke I saw tonight, no superstars, still want to make it to the finals? Man, go to sleep! There's everything in the dream."

"Why watch the Clippers? Have you all forgotten that Kayce has averaged 40+ per game in the playoffs? He's a superstar who has scored 63 points in the playoffs, and one less scoring point is not a big deal! ”

"Fack! You should have confiscated your keyboard, you ruined our good mood."

“.”

In the other game that night, 90-106, the Hawks, who were playing at home, pulled one back, and the series score became 1-1.

But Amerika's sports media didn't pay attention to the game at all, and with Griffin's season reimbursement, the Clippers have become the league's biggest hot spot.

On the morning of the 6th, the NBA league announced a one-game ban on Ginobili and an additional penalty of a fine of 25,000 US dollars.

Clippers fans don't buy it, such a punishment is almost painless, Ginobili's first two games are average, and even worse than Patimie Les, what's the use of a ban?

In the afternoon TNT show, the four of them chatted, and the topic was tilted to the Clippers.

"We've all ignored the injury situation, the Clippers have played more games in recent years, and Kayce has been exerting a lot of money, maybe he's trying to get his body up."

Charles Barkley has been crazy about the Poisoned Milk Warriors since last night and firmly believes that the Clippers are at the end of their game and that an injury wave is coming.

"Don't underestimate the bodies of superstars, they're all monsters, and Kayce has been very fit since she entered the league."

"Of course, it also has to do with his style of play, in previous seasons he preferred to solve problems with shots, smart lad!"

Kenny Smith is still a staunch Li Zechui, but host Earnie Johnson suddenly said at this time:

"It would be the biggest regret if the Clippers lost this season because of injuries, 73 wins, perfect season, I don't like Manu's moves, that's too bad."

O'Neill gave his opinion with a serious expression at this time:

"Injuries are also part of the game, and if you want to be great, 'If' is useless, and if the Clippers fail, the fans will only mock them after a few years. ”

"It reminds me of F4 for the Lakers, we had a chance to win the championship that year, but injuries beat us, and of course, that's not an excuse to lose, and I think the Clippers will get through it."

Charles Barkley was still raising the bar at this time, and immediately laughed and asked:

"If the Clippers fail, then? The Western Conference Semifinals are not over yet, and there will be the Western Conference Finals after that, and even if they break out of the West, the Finals are still a problem. ”

O'Neill lifted his glasses, then leaned back in his seat and replied in a playful tone:

"Failure? Then we've got work to do in the off-season, and seriously, I want to see Kayce fail, and a lot of people are looking forward to it! ”

“.”

On the night of the 6th, fans turned their attention back to the two games in progress.

At 91:106, the Cavaliers successfully protected their home court, and the series score came to 1:1.

In the first quarter of the game, the Cavaliers were on fire, LeBron James scored 14 points on 5-of-7 in a single quarter, and at 18:38, the Cavaliers easily won the game.

James played 34 minutes in the whole game, 13-of-29, and got 33 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, 1 block and 2 turnovers.

In such a crucial game, James only shot twice outside the three-point line, rushing inside, and full of aggression!

Irving also went on a breakaway, scoring 21 points on 5-of-9 shooting and 10-of-12 from the free-throw line.

Coupled with the outstanding play of role players outside the three-point line, after the game, the sports media praised the performance of James and Irving, and the Cavaliers fans were crazy with joy.

"Knights Championship!"

In another Western Conference focus battle, the Warriors unexpectedly overturned.

At 102:92, the Rockets pulled one back and managed to get an away win.

Inaccuracy from beyond the three-point line was the main reason for the Warriors' hip pull, with 6-of-26 shooting and 23.1% three-point shooting, and the basket at Oracle Arena was almost smashed.

Stephen Curry was 7-of-19 from the field and 2-of-11 from beyond the three-point line, and finally finished with 19 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 turnovers.

This performance also disappointed some media outlets that follow Curry:

"That's why Stephen Curry is losing MVP! We made the right choice! ”

Of course, there are also Warriors fans who complain that the Rockets are shooting too many free throws, with the bearded ballster making 15 of 15 free throws and Howard making 8 of 21 free throws.

The Rockets made 42 of 64 free throws as a team, which really gave the Warriors a penalty

On May 7, there were no matches on the day, and after G2, the team could get more than three days off.

The Clippers are still carrying out daily training as usual, in fact, this season everyone has not consumed much, and they swept the opponent in the first round, and their physical condition has been very good.

Li Ze is still groping for the role of the super badge, and after last night's game, he melted another purple badge:

Achievement Badge [Infinite Takeoff] :(can be merged)

Enhance the success rate of players starting to dunk or layup from a longer starting distance, recover a little physical strength after successfully finishing the offense, and reduce the physical burden caused by the movement.

This kind of badge that reduces the burden on the body has always been Li Ze's favorite, but since the appearance of the super badge, the purple badge has almost become nourishment.

It's a pity that a lot of badges have been fused, and the attributes still haven't changed.

Li Ze always pays attention to the feelings of his body in his daily basic training, and compared with the past, he can feel the response of the badge at any time without competition, some specific technical movements.

Jokic watched from the sidelines as Li Ze meticulously completed the basic training of ball control, and then took the initiative to hand over the water bottle.

Li Ze's kettle caretaker has changed from Bullock to Jokic, and the white fat man is actually in a good mood, and he feels that he is simply the chosen one.

"Kayce, do I have a chance to be in the starting lineup for the rest of the game?"

Hearing Jokic's inquiry, Li Ze said funny:

"You should ask Coach De Nagro and you can consult Lue if it's not good and they can decide who will start."

Jokic scratched his head, and finally muttered in a low voice:

"I feel like I'm the best big man in the team"

Everyone on the Clippers is used to the confidence of the white fat man, Li Ze shook his head with a smile:

"Play next to me, and if you lose, the media will think it's your problem!"

"Remember to adjust your mindset in the future, and it's better to read less TNT and ESPN reports."

Seeing Jokic's unknown appearance, Li Ze sighed with emotion:

"Playing next to a superstar is destined to develop into a teammate CBA."
