Chapter 395: Comparable to Legend (10,000-Character Chapter)

On May 9, the Clippers returned to Los Angeles, and despite losing to the Spurs 99-106 last night, everyone was in a very good mood after getting on the plane.

Li Ze played 32 minutes, 11-of-19, 3-of-7 from beyond the three-point line, 7-of-7 from the free throw line, and scored 32 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 1 turnover.

Coach De Nagro also made lineup adjustments after the main team, and rotated a large area to give the players a sigh of relief.

Amerika's sports media didn't pay much attention to the game either, and after the Clippers got the match point, everyone understood that the series was over.

In contrast, LeBron James didn't give his opponent any chance in the simultaneous game between the Cavaliers and Hawks last night.

At 100:99, the two sides played until the last moment, and in the end, the Cavaliers won with difficulty, swept the opponent 4:0, and advanced to the Eastern Conference finals strongly!

Of course, this game is also not very popular, after all, with three match points in hand, the ball critics also know that the Cavaliers will definitely advance.

The hot news in the last two days is that the Thunder's appeal has been feedback.

In the Western Conference semifinals G3, Green once again "chased" Adams, and the Thunder coaching staff believed that this was definitely a second-degree malicious foul.

But at that time, the referee determined that it was a first-degree malicious foul, and Green was not ejected!

Of course, everyone on the Thunder team will not give up, and "Little Adam" was almost kicked out, which must be given an explanation, and he appealed directly after the game.

Interestingly, on the morning of the 9th, the NBA League announced that Draymond Green's first-degree malicious foul was upgraded to second-degree, but no suspension was imposed.

It's an intriguing decision, and it's clear that the league is looking after the Warriors, and in order to make the series more intense and spectacular, a ban is out of the question!

However, the league's operation can be regarded as a smooth sailing, considering the strength of the Warriors this season, Green, as the team's defensive core, has a malicious foul on his back, which is also conducive to subsequent operations.

If the Warriors reach the Western Conference Finals and the Clippers perform across, the league can also operate to balance the strengths of both sides:

first-degree malicious foul, sentenced to "two penalties and one throw", no expulsion, 1 point; Second-degree malicious foul, awarded "two free throws and one throw", expulsion, 2 points.

Players who have not accumulated or have accumulated 1 point will be suspended if they are given a second-degree malicious foul and will be suspended according to the league's review.

A player who has accumulated 2 points will be automatically suspended for one match if they are convicted of a second-degree malicious foul.

Players who accumulate 3 or 4 points will be automatically suspended for one match if they are convicted of a first degree foul.

Draymond Green received 1 first-degree malicious foul in the first round against the Jazz and accumulated 1 point, and after upgrading to a second-degree malicious foul, it just became 3 points.

The Clippers coaching staff has naturally taken note of this information, and the team is currently preparing for both hands, and the Western Conference Finals will certainly not be easy.

Matt Barnes didn't get much playing time in the Western Conference semifinals, but the veteran didn't complain either, and the regular-season stats were already enough.

"If the Warriors do make it to the Western Conference Finals, Green's malicious foul is definitely a ticking time bomb!"

After the veteran said this, he raised his eyebrows at Ingalls beside him, and the bad idea had already come to his mind, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Ingles became the Clippers' king of small moves after Paul left the team, and the Australian forward is very good at playing with people, which is also a habit that has been cultivated since childhood.

Crawford takes off his headphones, the veteran has always been optimistic about the Warriors, and the older players don't like the current atmosphere in the league:

"I think the Warriors will definitely lose, Durant and Russell are not rookies like the Jazz, the Thunder get the match point, and the series is over!"

"We can still fight with the Warriors, we really met the Thunder, and none of us can defend against Russell's impact."

"Kayce, it's time for you to officially claim the award tomorrow, Stephen Curry has been miserable this year, this is definitely the most nonexistent 73 wins."

Li Ze shrugged his shoulders, he can only sympathize with Curry's suffering, this year to catch up with the Black Mamba retirement, he came to another wave of 40+ triple-doubles per game, in the regular season, the Warriors couldn't even grab the hot spots:

"I'd like Kevin and Russell to fight with the Warriors to tie seven, in that case, we have a physical advantage and a big chance of winning!"

Everyone in the Clippers agrees with Li Ze's words, and everyone hopes that the Thunder and the Warriors will fight for 7 games, and from the perspective of the schedule, they have already taken the lead by ending the game with the Spurs prematurely.

The two semi-finals on the night of the 9th were very intense.

At 87:94, after a hard-fought overtime, the Heat, who returned to their home court, finally won hard.

The series score came to 2:2, after which the two sides will play the battle of Tianwang Mountain.

In the key game, Kyle Lowry was 2 of 11 and got 10 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists, 4 steals and 4 turnovers, and DeRozan was 4 of 17 and scored 9 points and 3 rebounds!

The two scored 19 points together, and the "garbage brothers" went online again...

In contrast, Wade once again showed the demeanor of a superstar, scoring 30 points on 13-of-24 shooting, and turning the tide in key games, which made Heat fans excited.

The Clippers coaching staff was more focused on the other Western Conference semifinals, but unfortunately, after a fierce battle between the two sides, the Thunder managed to get the match point.

The Thunder scored 42 points in the second quarter and sealed the win at 53:72 at halftime.

In the end, at 100:116, the Thunder team fighting at home successfully got the match point, and the series score came to 3:1.

Donovan smiled and shook hands with Steve Cole after the game, and he is also going to challenge for the championship this year.

With the support of the strongest tactics, Turtle Turtle played 41 minutes, 12-of-27, 4-of-8 from beyond the three-point line, 8-of-8 from the free throw line, and scored a triple-double of 36 points, 11 rebounds, 11 assists, 4 steals and 6 turnovers;

Durant also played 41 minutes, 8-of-24, 9-of-10 free throws, 26 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals, 3 blocks and 3 turnovers, filling up the data column and showing his comprehensiveness.

In the Chesapeake Energy Arena, the fans of the Russian City cheered loudly for the home team after the game, and they are about to reach the Western Conference Finals again!

In an interview with TNT after the game, the turtle who cut off three pairs of data grinned and shouted directly to Li Ze:

"We're going to end the series early, and I can't wait to play Kayce in the Western Conference Finals!"

β€œ...”

After the game, Amerika's commentators all followed suit and mocked the Warriors, and TNT, as the broadcaster of the game, made a comment for the first time:

"6-of-20 from the field and 2-of-10 from beyond the three-point line, Curry scored just 19 points and had six turnovers in such an important game."

"The Warriors were 9-of-30 from beyond the three-point line, and like I said, a jumper couldn't win a championship!"

Charles Barkley is back in full swing with Stephen Curry, and Amerika's sports media are heavily biased against the epoch-making point guard.

"This is the playoffs, this is the stage for superstars, Draymond Green did well in the regular season, but when it comes to high-level matchups, he can only play boring little tricks."

"With 1-of-7, 6 points and 11 rebounds, a big part of the reason the Warriors couldn't go further was because they relied too much on an interior like Green."

O'Neal on the side also followed the output with all his might, and the two forgot that they were optimistic about the Warriors before the game, with a big score of 3:1, and the series was probably over.

"The Warriors have done their best, except for G3, the main lineup has played 40+ minutes, but the gap in talent is really difficult to make up."

Kenny Smith also thinks there is no suspense in this series, and the Thunder have won two consecutive games by crushing, showing complete dominance.

"If the 73-win Warriors end up in the Western Conference semifinals, it will definitely be big news, back at home, Steve has to let go, now I can only wish him the best of luck!"

Host Ernnie Johnson didn't raise the bar to follow the rebuttal, and this year's playoffs were indeed unexpected.

The Spurs with 67 wins and the Warriors with 73 wins are likely to fall in the semifinals, which is also a very outrageous thing in NBA history...

No one expected that the Warriors' playoff three-pointers were on the same level as the Clippers, the difference was that Li Ze could punish opponents wildly in the mid-range, while Curry couldn't score as much as he wanted.

...

On the morning of May 10th, Amerika's sports media gathered again in Los Angeles.

The NBA league officially announced that Li Ze was selected as the Most Valuable Player (MVP) in the 15~16 season.

In the press room of Staples Arena, a small bronze figure is placed on the podium, and four other MVP trophies are placed on the table on the right.

Steve Ballmer laughed and greeted his old friends, the better the Clippers' results, the more face, although the money could not be spent and it was a little uncomfortable, but the old man was still very satisfied with the team's results.

The management of the Clippers team was also present, and no one would dislike that there were too many MVP trophies, and Li Ze won the award, which is also an honor for the team.

Gary Sachs, the team's general manager, has straightened his back, reclaimed draft picks this season, helped the owner save money, and played 68 wins during the rebuilding period, and he will definitely give his operation a perfect score!

As long as he signs another superstar in the offseason to turn the Clippers back into a superteam and keep up with the box office after the move, Gary Sachs feels he can hold the general manager position for at least five years.

When the host appeared in front of the podium, everyone fell silent, and the Clippers on the right side of the podium began to applaud.

"Let's have a five-time MVP winner, a five-time championship winner, a superstar in the league, and the greatest player in Clippers history, Kayce Li from UCLA!"

Li Ze wore a dark blue handmade suit and shook hands with the host with a smile.

The media in the audience all focused their cameras on Li Ze, and Steve Ballmer led the Clippers to chirp, and I never got tired of watching this award ceremony!

Li Ze first raised the small bronze trophy on the podium to facilitate the media present to take pictures, and then put down the trophy to straighten the microphone, and said with a smile:

"It's an incredible honor and I want to thank everyone who was there!"

"We're still in the playoffs and we're still working for a championship, so winning the award at this time is a huge encouragement for me and the Clippers."

"Thank you again to the major sports media and columnists, and look at the players on the MVP shortlist, they are all respectable opponents, and I will remember beating them to win this award."

β€œ...”

Li Ze thanked his family, everyone on the Clippers, and head coach De Nagro nodded with satisfaction on the side, and his thighs did not forget the coaching staff.

"This season is completely different from last year, we have a big change in the lineup, but the same thing is that our goal is still to win the championship!"

"In this league, don't be complacent, there are still many great achievements waiting for us to chase, and finally thank you again for awarding me this award, thank you for your support, this year, let's win the championship again!"

Steve Ballmer happily chirped that the new arena needs attention, and today he can promote his big plans again.

In the end, all 5 MVP trophies were placed in front of Li Ze, and Li Ze smiled and took a photo with the trophies again.

The NBA league released a photo of Li Ze and 5 MVP trophies on Instagram for the first time:

"Congratulations to Kayce-Li, after Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Russell, Michael Jordan, to become the fourth player in history to win the MVP 5 times!"

"Young King, keep chasing greatness!"

Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Wharton, Reggie Miller and others from UCLA sent their blessings as soon as possible.

Various sports media have also released the news that Li Ze won the MVP, and when he was under the age of 26, he won the valuable player award 5 times, the only one in history!

Winning the award again also made Li Ze once again make the headlines on the front page of CCTV Sports, and his popularity skyrocketed again.

5 MVPs, which is already second only to Abdul-Jabbar, Li Ze fans of the Celestial Empire started a new round of boxing and kicking Jordan...

On the night of the 10th, the Spurs flew to Los Angeles again, and G5 officially started.

The Staples Arena was full that night, and many fans came to witness Li Ze receiving the award.

After the visitors, Leonard silently watched President Adam Silva present Li Ze with the MVP trophy, and Duncan and the Spurs were also depressed.

Throughout the series, Duncan's performance was very average, and no one could withstand the invasion of time.

Perhaps because of Duncan's final playoff game of his career, Popovich no longer limits the veteran's playing time.

Aldridge was still fighting and carrying the Spurs, but the slow pace of the attack and a few mistakes quickly allowed Li Ze to seize the opportunity.

At 19:27 in the first quarter, the Clippers easily led by eight points.

The team's morale was low, and the Spurs scored just 12 points in a single quarter as Leonard suddenly missed the game in the second quarter.

At the end of the half, the score came to 31:55, and the Clippers fans in the scene were already celebrating the victory.

In the second half, the defensive intensity plummeted, and Leonard was also full of firepower, but he was never able to close the difference.

When Duncan was substituted late in the third quarter, Popovich continued to comfort the veteran and finally let Duncan play the fourth quarter.

When the game officially ended, the score was fixed at 99:111, and the Clippers who returned to their home court easily defeated their opponents and successfully advanced to the Western Conference finals with a big score of 4:1!

Li Ze hugged and greeted everyone on the Spurs, and Duncan didn't say anything, just patted him on the shoulder, and finally turned his head and ran towards the players' tunnel.

When the fans at the scene saw Duncan raise his right hand and run towards the back of the players' tunnel with a finger up, they immediately realized that the era of GDP was completely over.

"It's a pity to see Duncan end helplessly, this is the era of Kayce, 5 MVP trophies, great achievements!"

Jeff Van Gundy saw the Spurs exit in a low-key manner, and he was not happy, he could be regarded as witnessing the whole process of Li Ze's end of GDP.

"I don't know if Duncan will choose to play another year, without retiring from tour, without the blessings of the San Antonio fans, maybe this is Duncan's way of saying goodbye."

Mark Jackson saw Duncan silently exit, and he was also infinitely emotional, and this year the veterans have begun to leave the league.

Commentator Mike Brin didn't follow the emotion, but asked with a smile:

"Does the Clippers have a chance to make it to the Finals this year? For now, their opponents are likely to be the Thunder. ”

Jeff Van Gundy reined in and immediately replied:

"Whether it's the Thunder or the Warriors, in terms of team configuration, they are better than the Clippers, and of course, as long as there is Kayce, anything is possible for the Clippers."

Mark Jackson suddenly laughed on the side, and then teased:

"Believe me, no team has the experience of averaging 40+ players per game, and as long as the Clippers' role players are playing properly, they can wrestle with any team in the league."

β€œ...”

In tonight's game, Li Ze played 37 minutes, 13 of 22, 5 of 9 from beyond the three-point line, 8 of 8 free throws, and 39 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal and 1 turnover.

Back in the locker room, seeing his teammates celebrating the team's entry into the Western Conference Finals, Li Ze also clapped his hands happily and said:

"I'm in for a treat tonight, thank you for your support, the MVP also belongs to the Clippers!"

The atmosphere group immediately cheered, and it was everyone's favorite part of eating and drinking, and the quality of the party in Jin Thighs has always been very high.

Coach De Nagro and the coaching staff are also completely relieved that they have been very successful in reaching the Western Conference Finals this season.

Thinking of the situation in the Western Conference Finals, the coaching staff are silently praying:

"The Warriors hold on, it's better to hit a tiebreaker!"

...

The Cavaliers and Clippers got more time off and the division finals, with both teams currently in the lead.

The Spurs are out of the tournament and haven't attracted much attention, Popovich hasn't emphasized that they are the better team, the team's golden thigh is likely to retire, and the bad old man is not in the mood to think about other things.

Ameika's sports media have spent most of the time predicting that the Thunder will end the series in a few games, except for discussing Lee's place in history.

On the evening of the 11th, the semi-finals of the East and West began again!

In the battle of Tianwang Mountain in the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Menglong team returned to their home court to win the key game.

At 91:99, Lowry and DeRozan finally got hard, and the two scored 59 points together, getting rid of the title of "garbage brothers"...

In another key battle, the Warriors, who returned to their home court, pulled one back and still retained the suspense of the series.

At 110:120, the Warriors were all on the roster and finally won G5.

Coach Donovan wanted to end the series directly, and once again used his strongest tactic that night!

Durant, who played 45 minutes, was 12-of-31, 3-of-11 from beyond the three-point line, 13-of-13 from the free throw line, and scored 40 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, 1 block and 3 turnovers;

Turtle Turtle, who played 42 minutes, was 11-of-28 and 3-of-8 from beyond the three-point line, scoring 31 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists, 5 steals and 7 turnovers.

The Thunder's 17 turnovers in the game, combined with a near-seven-man rotation, ultimately failed to bite the game, allowing the Warriors to score 39 points in the fourth quarter.

Curry was 9-of-20 from the field, 3-of-8 from beyond the three-point line, and 10-of-10 from the free-throw line, scoring 31 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 5 steals and 5 turnovers.

Klee was 8-of-21 from the field tonight, including 2-of-9 from three-point range and 9-of-10 from the free-throw line, with 27 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 3 turnovers.

Coupled with Draymond Green's performance of 11 points, 13 rebounds, 1 steal, 4 blocks and 2 turnovers, the Warriors finally escaped.

Of course, winning the game also paid a big price, the trio all played 40 minutes, the Warriors 9 of 24 from beyond the three-point line, and they failed to recover, and the next game is still their life-and-death battle!

Amerika's sports media still firmly believe that Durant and Li Ze will eventually meet in the Western Conference Finals, and a reporter from Fox Sports also asked relevant questions when interviewing Li Ze on the 12th.

"Don't underestimate the team with a 73-win record, of course, the Thunder have to work harder if they want to reach the Western Conference Finals, and if they drag it to the end, there will definitely be problems with their fitness!"

Li Ze didn't care who the opponent was, anyway, the Clippers were waiting for work, so they were extra relaxed when answering.

As expected, Li Ze's answer made many media climax again, and they took the opportunity to shoot directly at Coach Donovan, criticizing this academic coach for only smashing the main force...

On May 13th, the semifinals of the Eastern and Western Conference ushered in G6, and before the game, commentators predicted that the Menglong team and the Thunder team would successfully advance, but the game ended and they were slapped in the face again.

At 91:103, the Heat team returned to the home court to pull one back again, and the series score came 3:3, and the two sides will have a tie-break 7 battle.

Lowry had the best game of the series, scoring 36 points on 12-of-27 shooting, while DeRozan was 8-of-21 and also had 23 points.

Helplessly, everyone in the Heat team worked hard and blossomed more, and in the end they could only accept the 7-game battle.

The desperate Warriors relied on Kelai's excellent performance to win the away game and drag the series into a tie-breaker.

At 108:101, the Thunder led for three quarters, but only scored 18 points in the fourth quarter, and was successfully overturned by the Warriors!

Coming from the field, who played 41 minutes, was 14-of-31 and 11-of-18 from beyond the three-point line, scoring 41 points efficiently.

In the fourth quarter of the game, Kelai was 6 of 9, including 5 of 6 three-pointers and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 19 points in a single quarter.

Curry was 9-of-22, including 6-of-14 three-pointers, and looking at the quasi-triple-double of 31 points, 10 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals and 3 turnovers, Green also had 12 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists.

The trio's playing time came to 43 minutes again, but no one cared about it at the moment.

Warriors owner Lacob even knelt directly in the players' tunnel, this game is too important...

After the loss, Durant didn't say a word, 1-of-7 in the fourth quarter, 10-of-31 in the game, and scored 29 points.

At the critical moment, Durant was a little unable to withstand the strongest tactics...

Turtle Turtle was 10 of 27, got 28 points, 9 rebounds, 11 assists, 4 steals and 5 turnovers, and stepped forward in the fourth quarter, but lost +2 to +3, and there was no smile after the game.

Amerika's social media was blown up by the Warriors' performance against the wind, and everyone didn't expect that this series would also enter the tiebreaker.

The coaching staff of the Clippers also didn't expect the two sides to play to the end, everyone was smiling, and the series played like this, and there were bound to be physical problems.

On May 15, the Clippers are still preparing for the Western Conference Finals, and if the Warriors win, they will leave for Oakland tomorrow;

If the Thunder win, they will just have to wait for their opponents to arrive in Los Angeles.

Most of the Clippers' recent daily training has been anti-blocking and dismantling, and Jokic has been in dire straits for the past few days, and every tactical training session has been easily broken by Li Ze's blocking and dismantling.

At the top of the arc, Li Ze and Plumlee blocked and dismantled, and Jokic, who was delayed, was penetrated by a ground-and-ground pass, and saw Plumlee dunk it down.

The white fat man raised his hand in frustration, indicating that it was his defensive problem, and he could be regarded as completely understanding the feelings of the big men of other teams...

"If you can't keep up, kick the ball with your feet, pay attention to the referee's blowing scale, and use it once or twice at critical moments."

Taking advantage of the assistant coach's call to stop training, Li Ze briefly told Jokic.

There are no perfect players, the problem of white fat man's defense and dismantling is basically unsolved, and the sinking basket will be punished by the middle distance, and it is okay to meet the Thunder team, and several times against the Warriors, the opponent has been vigorously grasping the weakness.

Jokic grabbed the kettle to rehydrate, then complained a few more words:

"The rules of the NBA are really not friendly to centers, and sometimes I miss the Serbian league a lot, where I don't have to think about the three-second rule."

In the second season of his career, Jokic still hasn't fully adapted to the NBA game, or rather the defense.

The three-second zone, the vertical take-off, and the cylinder rule that has just emerged this season have all been a source of distress for the big man.

Coach De Nagro saw that everyone was almost done, and finally reminded again:

"Rest early tonight, if the Warriors win, we're going to play away first, remember to adjust to your condition!"

The atmosphere group immediately followed the discussion, if the Warriors win, it would be the first time in years that the Clippers played on the road first, which was a novel experience.

The assistant coach is more concerned about Li Ze's condition, and when it comes to the Western Conference Finals, it can be expected that the strongest tactics will be used frequently.

"How does it feel, Kayce? If we really play away first, don't feel the pressure, we are in better physical condition! ”

Li Ze smiled and nodded, the snipe and the clam competed, the fisherman benefited, no matter which team wins, they only have more than a day to rest, and the Clippers did take a big advantage:

"Rest assured, I'm ready, winning an away game is our goal!"

The coaching staff nodded secretly in their hearts when they saw Li Ze's physical condition, and if they won away, the Clippers would regain the initiative, which was definitely the most ideal result.

On the evening of the 15th, the 7-game battle that fans like to see officially began.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, after three quarters of hard fighting, the Heat suddenly pulled their hips in the fourth quarter, and only scored 11 points in a single quarter...

In the end, 89:116, with Lowry's 35 points on 11-of-20 and DeRozan's 28 points on 12-of-29, the Menglong team at home successfully defeated the opponent and entered the Eastern Conference Finals!

The gap between the rebounds between the two sides was too big, and at 30:50, Bi Yongbo of the Menglong team grabbed the inside line of the Heat team, and he fought for 6 frontcourt rebounds alone.

Wade was 6-of-13 from the field and scored 16 points, but he had no choice but to lose, and his horse returned, but without Bosh, the team's record still failed to meet expectations.

The most-watched game between the Thunder and the Warriors also made many fans dumbfounded, and tonight everyone witnessed history together.

88:96, the Thunder also suppressed the Warriors in the first half, but in the third quarter, 12 points in a single quarter, were beaten by the Warriors, and the game was completely gone...

Stephen Curry, who played 42 minutes, picked up his form, shooting 13-of-24 from the field and 7-of-12 from beyond the three-point line, finishing with 36 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 turnovers.

Coupled with the Warriors' 17-of-37 outside three-pointers, the 7-man rotation of the Thunder failed to withstand the opponent's counterattack, and the Warriors counterattacked and successfully reached the Western Conference Finals!

Durant played 46 minutes and scored 27 points on 10-of-19 shooting, while Turtle played 45 minutes and scored 19 points on 7-of-21 shooting.

After the loss, the two walked back to the locker room with their faces pulled up, and the Oracle Arena turned into a sea of joy, and the Warriors fans were frantically celebrating the victory.

Steve Kerr breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, although the playing time of the main squad came to 43 minutes, but winning is the most important thing, as for the game after tomorrow, it is not in his current range of consideration.

Just looking at the tired look on the core trio, Steve Cole drummed in his heart:

'If you get stolen an away game, it's definitely the worst-case scenario.

...

On the morning of May 16, the Clippers' official Instagram released a photo of Li Ze boarding:

"A new journey, Auckland, here we come! #快船队伐木累"

The Thunder lost, and the media that made the matter began to discuss Durant's offseason options, in addition to gloating.

At the end of the game, Durant, who broke the big defense, was not able to be interviewed, and at the press conference after the game, he also frequently "ioned" with the turtle...

Failing to get an answer from the players, Amika's media immediately used their skills to make something out of nothing!

Yahoo Sports was the first to rush out an article that immediately detonated social media:

"Gathering in Los Angeles – MVPs Team Up Again"

The content of the article is convincing, if you can't beat the Warriors, then find a brother to team up, and then come back to fight!

This has happened just a few years ago, and fans feel that Durant is likely to make the same decision...

Many football critics have also expressed their opinions on Twitter:

"A premeditated reunion, KD will join the Clippers in the offseason!"

"The Clippers are freeing up salary space just to recruit Durant, and the new bro basketball will be played in Los Angeles."

"Kayce and KD, they will completely rule the alliance!"

Although the Warriors completed a historic reversal, it is a pity that the hot spot was snatched away by Durant.

As the biggest player this offseason, media reporters are more concerned about Durant's choice!

Coupled with the huge salary space of the Clippers this year, many people have already made up the scene of Li Ze and Durant gathering in Los Angeles.

Before the Western Conference Finals started, the managers of many teams couldn't sit still and expressed their positions on social media:

"Durant's joining the Clippers is completely out of line with competitive sportsmanship, and the two MVPs joining forces would make the NBA league less competitive."

"The league should prevent that from happening, and the Clippers shouldn't sign Durant for basketball reasons."

Durant himself did not express his position, but the agent Kleman showed his attitude in front of the media:

"Kevin doesn't like the Thunder's current style of play, he's the real heart of the team!"

The managers of each team heard the words of agent Kleman and understood that Durant still failed to reach an agreement with the Thunder, and for a while, there was an undercurrent, and the recruitment began early...

On the afternoon of the 17th, in the Western Conference Finals, at the press conference before the game, a sports reporter who likes to do things followed the trend and asked Li Ze whether he would join forces with Durant.

Li Ze had been prepared for such a question a long time ago, and looked at the reporters in the audience all looking at him with blank eyes, and said in a relaxed tone:

"At the moment I'm completely focused on the Western Conference Finals, and as for teaming up with Kevin, we haven't talked about it between us."

"But no team is going to turn down a superstar, and I welcome Kevin to play in Los Angeles."

The sports media in the audience were all boiling when they heard Li Ze's words, good guy, it's a real hammer, Durant is going to join the Clippers!

Most of the heat of the Western Conference finals was stolen at once, and a large number of media were frantically discussing the re-teaming of Li Ze and Durant.

As soon as Amerika's Jamie heard the news, she broke the defense directly, and scolded the Los Angeles team on reddit for being inappropriate:

"The league has to stop Durant from joining the Clippers, and I can't think of any team that can resist the two joining forces."

"It's crazy, don't forget that the Clippers still have Nets draft picks in their hands this year, and if they get the top 5 picks tomorrow, I'll definitely write a complaint!"

"It's so unfair to LeBron James, maybe he's not going to be able to beat Kayce for the rest of his career."

"Damn Los Angeles, the existence of these big ball cities, makes the league uncompetitive, and I don't want to see two MVPs join forces."

The Western Conference Finals G1 was played at the Warriors' home arena, Oracle Arena, and the start time was 21 o'clock, and before the game began, Steve Kerr complained loudly to the media:

"The league should be thinking about changing the schedule, more than a day of rest, we haven't even had time to have a video session, and the players have to simply do recovery training."

Such complaints are destined to go unanswered, and Coach De Nagro seems very relaxed, and is even in the mood to joke about the news of the last few days:

"I don't want to get involved in illegal recruitment, don't ask me about Durant!"

β€œ...”

That night, half an hour before the start of the game, the Oracle Arena was already full of spectators, paired with gold cheering T-shirts, and the atmosphere became more and more hot.

On the commentary bench of ESPN at the scene, Mike Brin had just gotten his starting list and immediately introduced:

"The Warriors couldn't extend their lineup against the Thunder tonight, and Yondalla returned to the bench."

"Stephen Curry and Kerry Thompson in the backcourt, Harrison Barnes and Draymond Green up front, Andrew Bogut in the center."

"The Clippers continued their playoff starting lineup, with Lee Ze and Reggie Bullock in the backcourt, Joe Ingles and Tobias Harris at the front, and Nikola Jokic at center."

"Mark, who do you think will win tonight?"

Hearing a question from commentator Mike Brin, the former Warriors coach Mark Jackson replied with a smile:

"I hope the Warriors can maintain the outside touch of the G7 in the last round, and if there are no fitness issues, Stephencurry will lead the team to victory."

Jeff Van Gundy immediately shook his head when he heard his old partner's words, the main team in the Western Conference semifinals averaged 40+ minutes per game, and the Warriors' body was definitely not in the best condition:

"There is no room for error at home, and Stephen Curry, as the leader of the team, has to step up and solve problems for the team tonight."

While many commentators were expecting the Clippers to win G1 before the game, most predictions were narrowly contested.

What many fans didn't expect was that the state of the Warriors was much worse than expected.

Bogut successfully jumped the ball and helped the Warriors get the first wave of offensive possession, still starting from Curry and Green's pick-and-roll.

The Clippers' defense immediately switched defenses when it encountered cover, and at the top of the arc, Harris simply pressed Curry to prevent the opponent from making easy three-point shots.

Faced with such a defensive choice, Curry, who held the ball in his left hand, accelerated directly to break through, and Harris quickly slid to the right back.

In the end, Curry managed to break through to the paint, leaned over, and completed the throw with his left hand.

"Bang!" Hit the nail in a rage!

After landing on the ground, Curry also failed to gain a foothold and immediately fell to the floor.

Jokic stuck Bogut with a basket and finally easily picked up the rebound.

Warriors fans wearing gold cheering T-shirts at the scene saw Li Ze dribbling the ball across the half court with his right hand, and immediately erupted in huge boos.

With Steve Kerr's loud reminder on the sidelines, the Warriors retreated quickly.

Unlike Leonard's defensive style, Kelai is generally oppressive when defending Li Ze, and most of the time he can only ensure that his defense is not out of position.

Similar to the Warriors' offense, the Clippers are also in a five-sided position, with Harris immediately standing on the left wing, and Ingles and Bullock in the left and right corners.

The Warriors' defense also made targeted changes, with Harrison Barnes facing Harris and Green on the left near baseline, ready to sweep.

On the defensive end, Curry stood in front of Reggie Bullock in the bottom right corner, and the Warriors wanted to hide Curry completely and avoid being targeted frequently.

Jokic easily moved up to the top of the arc and immediately took a stand on the three-point line for a simple pick-and-roll.

Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, first half-turned, then twisted his body and suddenly accelerated, and with the help of Jokic's blocking, he instantly got rid of Kelai's entanglement.

The Warriors were prepared, and Bogut immediately moved laterally to the right side to block Li Ze with a big delay.

Maybe he hasn't been able to get rid of his physical fatigue, Bogut's defense speed is too slow, Li Ze suddenly quickly pushed the ball and changed direction, after sinking his shoulders, he grabbed the ball with his right hand, and after accelerating, he hit the basket directly!

Green, who was in charge of sweeping the defense, didn't expect Li Ze to break through so quickly, and when he reacted, he could only subconsciously jump up and block.

Green, who was not in the best physical condition, soon realized that he had not jumped high enough, and Li Ze, who had taken off from a long distance, was still rising at this time...

Unaffected by any aerial confrontation, his feet jumped in the paint area, Li Ze grabbed the ball with his right hand and pulled back with his arm, and crashed into Green's defense in the air, with a powerful tomahawk-style violent buckle!

"Boom!" Break through the storm dunk and succeed!

After landing, Green lost his body's center of gravity, lay on the floor to complete the unloading, turned his head and saw Li Ze's expressionless face and quickly retreated, Green instantly picked up the lemon again...

The Oracle Arena was booed for a while, and Warriors fans didn't want to see Li Ze's dunk performance.

It's just that in the next few rounds, the Warriors hit a series of irons, and the trio each tried a shot, but the Clippers seized the opportunity to convert points.

Steve Kerr saw that Kelai missed a three-point shot, and Li Ze took the long rebound and rushed to the ball, and could only loudly remind his players to retreat quickly.

Rushing through the halfcourt and approaching the three-point line with the left wing, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, quickly in and out, swaying right and left, forcing Kelai to slide desperately to the right.

The two were entangled across the three-point line, and Li Ze suddenly dribbled behind his back, and accelerated again after a slight pause.

Approaching the left elbow of the free throw line, Klai, who readjusted his defensive center of gravity, had not yet reacted

Come, Li Ze suddenly took his left foot as the axis, turned sharply, completely got rid of the defense and then closed the ball, approaching the basket with his left hand and throwing the board!

Bogut, who stepped back to the basket, couldn't make any defensive moves and watched the ball hit the basket.

The opening game was beaten 8:0, Steve Kerr had no choice but to ask for a timeout, and when he came up, he dug a hole, this game was wrong...

Jeff Van Gundy saw that Klei was listless as he walked to the bench and didn't seem to have recovered from the previous game, so he reluctantly said:

"This is the playoffs, every round is critical, and the Warriors have to find a way to score consistently!"
