Chapter 400: Outrageous Divisional Finals Data (9000 Words Chapter)
On the morning of May 28, on Amika's social media, a large number of fans followed the trend to discuss Li Ze's performance.
In the 2013 Western Conference Finals, Li Ze scored 63 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 block in the battle of Tianwang Mountain, leading the Clippers to defeat the Spurs and get the match point!
In the 2016 Western Conference Finals, which was also the battle of Tianwang Mountain, Li Ze once again scored 64 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks and 3 turnovers!
Interestingly, Amelica's sports media were unanimously touted back then, and now a lot of people have become numb...
If you don't move Li Ze's performance, then spray the 73-win Warriors, and many ball critics are also painstaking for the sake of traffic.
In ESPN's program, it is natural to review last night's game, the playoffs have been getting more and more attention to the present, and as the opponents of the finals are about to be released, some marketing links have also been launched:
"That's the gap between Stephen Curry and LeBron James, his body can't support a high-intensity series!"
Kip Bayless has been inseparable from James for every word lately, and while he hasn't been recharged, the veteran columnist has sensed where the traffic is heading.
Curry scored 35 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 3 turnovers on 11-of-26 shooting, 6-of-15 from beyond the three-point line, and 7-of-8 free throws in G5.
The first three quarters were very efficient, but in the last quarter, 1 out of 7, the impression score was completely stretched.
Stephen A. Smith didn't follow the Black Warriors, after all, basketball is 5 people, Curry crossed over, and the others didn't step up:
"Curry has done his best, and let's not forget that LeBron James has lost to Kayce in the Finals for five years in a row."
"Steve Kerr and the coaching staff were also responsible for the Warriors' loss, and with the same eight-man rotation, the Warriors were clearly lacking in energy in the final quarter."
Jalen Rose didn't have a bad flow either, but the retired player and two commentators had completely different opinions:
'This game showed the difference in experience, Kayce knows his strengths and he is very patient.
"Even though the Warriors played an efficient offense in the third quarter, he still played at his own pace."
"The Clippers only took 25 shots from the outside and hit 13 shots, while the Warriors shot 39 from beyond the three-point line, which is insane!"
Stephen A. Smith saw the stats, 14 of 39, 35.8% three-point shooting rate, in fact, okay:
"Game experience is really an issue, and Curry doesn't have a lot of playoff experience compared to Kayce and LeBron."
"This is also Steve Kerr's second season in charge of the Warriors, and he has reached the Western Conference Finals two years in a row, which is a very rare achievement."
Kip Bayless didn't want to let go of the Warriors' hot spot and continued to output like crazy:
"But let's not forget that the Warriors have a 73-win record this season, and if they can't make it to the Finals, or if they can't win a championship, then they're the biggest joke."
Jalen Rose understands the Warriors' situation, saddled with the pressure of a 73-win record and another fitness problem:
"It's no surprise to lose when your opponent can score 64 points against a tight defense, and until now, I'm a little hard to believe Kayce's performance."
Kip Bayless once again shifted the conversation to LeBron James and sang the praises:
"If LeBron James can win the game tonight, no matter who the Finals opponent is, I believe the Cavaliers can win the championship!"
"Break the spell of hometown sports with your own hands, there is no more legendary champion than this!"
Stephen A. Smith and Jalen Rose both looked weird, and Zhan Hei in front of him was afraid that he was recharged, right? ...
Flying back to the Los Angeles Clippers, everyone has felt the change in media public opinion, Li Ze's data is very good, outrageous, but compared to LeBron James, there is not much story.
The Clippers are also not the boss in Los Angeles, and they have just had some presence in recent years, and in the past it was the belly of the fish!
And the Cavaliers were an old backdrop during the Jordan period, and fans are looking forward to the day when the team can win the championship.
No matter who the opponent is, the Chosen One is a great drama to lead his hometown team to the O'Brien Cup!
How can competitive sports not have a story? In this dream-making country, LeBron James is currently getting the script for the protagonist...
When Li Ze saw the news on Twitter in the morning, he almost grinned at the back of his head.
This group of double-standard media regarded him as a villain boss, and before the finals started, they first loaned James for the championship.
Breaking the Cleveland Sports curse, the topic suddenly exploded this morning, and the discussion skyrocketed!
Nike also took the opportunity to launch a new colorway sneaker for the James Soldier line, and the combined marketing has begun.
In the afternoon recovery training session, the atmosphere team did not follow the trend to discuss the topic of the finals, but focused on the inside information.
"Is this true? Will the salary cap next season likely exceed $90 million? ”
Evan Turner almost dropped his jaw when he heard the inside scoop shared by Barnes.
In the past, there were only a few million more per year, but an increase of 20 million all of a sudden, which is outrageous!
"It's impossible to know for sure, but Chris's news is reliable."
"The league has signed a big broadcast contract, and the union's willingness is to immediately improve the treatment of players, and there will definitely be a lot of players testing the free market this year."
Barnes was in a good mood and simply answered Evan Turner's doubts, with the salary cap rising and the pension contract rising with the tide.
Many of the Clippers are contract-year players this year, and even Gallinari's illness is a sight to hear when he hears the news, and if it weren't for the injury, he would also want to try the free market.
Jokic is also happy at this time, his girlfriend likes life in Los Angeles very much, his two older brothers also like it here, and the salary cap is rising, which is also a good thing for him.
The third year team option, as long as he plays good statistics next season, the white fat man feels that he can also sign a big contract!
Crawford felt that Li Ze's contract was a bit of a small loss, but when he thought about the team's salary space in the offseason, he immediately understood that the Clippers management wanted to catch a big fish:
"Kayce, has Kevin reached out to you lately? This guy really caught up in a good time. ”
Hearing the veteran's inquiry, Li Ze was a little surprised, and then he understood that everyone was tacitly acquiescing that Durant would join forces with him:
"There is no contact yet, but Russell will come to watch the game tomorrow, Kevin has not been scrolling on Twitter recently, and the semi-final loss is probably autistic."
The atmosphere group pricked up their ears, this is a big melon, if the two join forces, it will definitely be a nightmare for the rest of the league.
Barnes feels that Durant is still pretending to be reserved, and they are all "brother basketball" at present, and it is not a shame to play together to reap honors:
"I'm sure Kevin will come to Los Angeles in the offseason, and the Clippers are definitely the best team for him."
Li Ze shrugged his shoulders and did not deny it out loud, there is too much room for the team's salary this year, and it is no problem to form a big three, but many players will not join forces with him.
Just like Tyson Chandler has refused to recruit many times, in addition to offending the "James Gang" over the years, some old-school basketball people will not choose to join if they can't play.
Thinking of this year's salary cap, Li Ze felt that he had to shake people in advance:
"Who doesn't have a few surface brothers? Durant doesn't come! ”
...
On the evening of the 28th, the Eastern Conference Finals G6 returned to the home court of the Menglong team.
The fans in Toronto were so enthusiastic that tickets sold out early, but unfortunately, the score was fixed at 55:41 at halftime.
Kyrie Irving scored just nine points on 3-of-10 shooting in the first half, and the team was able to take a big lead in this situation, thanks to LeBron James.
At the start of the second half, Lowry and DeRozan began to explode, but Irving regained his touch, shooting 9-of-14 and scoring 21 points in the second half to end the series once and for all.
At 113:87, the Cavaliers successfully defeated the Menglong team and reached the finals for two consecutive years!
Lowry and DeRozan both played 42 minutes and did their best.
11-of-22, 6-of-12 from beyond the three-point line, scored 35 points efficiently, and Lowry also hardened up in the crucial game; DeRozan also scored 20 points on 9-of-18 shooting, but the role players pulled across, and the two had no choice but to lose.
The game has just ended, and Amika's sports media have praised the Cavaliers trio!
LeBron James was 13-of-22, 3-of-6 from beyond the three-point line, and scored 33 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal, 3 blocks and 3 turnovers.
Irving was 12 of 24, 2 of 4 from beyond the three-point line, and also scored 30 points efficiently, plus 5 of 11, 4 of 8 three-pointers, and Lefou, who got 20 points and 12 rebounds, the three completely destroyed the Menglong team!
Although the trio played 40 minutes under the leadership of Tyronn Lue, LeBron James supported the head coach at the award ceremony for the division champion:
"If we can win the championship this season, then the person I want to thank the most is Lu, without whom we wouldn't have made it to the Finals."
"I'm not in the world of surprises, all the Cavaliers have to do is believe in each other, we're completely healthy at the moment, trust me, Cleveland will win their own championship!"
Tyronn Lue wore the hat of the division champion, and when he heard James's words, his heart was quite moved, and then he secretly decided:
"In the finals, we must continue the strongest tactics!"
When the Cavaliers began to hold the cup, the audience who had not yet left the stadium also gave sparse applause.
LeBron James is smiling, he is very much looking forward to the Finals, whether it is the Warriors or the Clippers, he is confident of winning against the opponent!
...
On the morning of May 29, Amika's sports media began to build momentum for LeBron James again.
The topic of breaking the Cleveland sports curse is once again a trending topic on Twitter.
Of course, there are still a large number of fans who are determined Li Zechui, and the two sides have frequently broken out in tearing battles recently, and James is still at a disadvantage.
On Reddit, Russian City fans completely broke their defenses, due to the death of the major shareholder in a car accident, and Durant failed to reach a contract extension agreement with the team, many football critics have given their own opinions:
"If Durant leaves the team, then next season, the Thunder will have problems with results and box office."
"There is a high probability that the team will choose to put it up badly and then resell it to other cities!"
Losing in the Western Conference semifinals, the team is gone?
Russian City fans are in disbelief, but the outside world is not optimistic about the Thunder team, and the small ball city team without superstars will definitely have a bright future.
"I can't accept Durant joining the Clippers, I like the Thunder team who won the championship back then, and the management made absolutely stupid moves."
"Maybe Durant can consider teaming up with James, sign first and then trade, we can send Kevin Love, Russell will definitely like to play with Love!"
"If Durant joins the Cavaliers, after winning the championship this year, we will also have a chance to become a dynasty team, and the era of LeBron James will come!"
"Kayce is only 26 years old, LeBron James is retired, and maybe he's still active in the league."
"LeBron James will break the Cleveland curse, and such a championship is even more legendary!"
“...”
Durant at his home in the city was surfing the Internet, watching more and more people start to discuss LeBron James's championship, and his heart was a little tired.
Durant also received the news of the league's salary cap skyrocketing, which also made his mind more and more active, and some impossible operations may be realized.
"The Clippers are going to build a superteam this offseason! I remember they had a huge salary space this year, and Steve Ballmer shouldn't care about the luxury tax. ”
Agent Kleman has already sensed Durant's thoughts, but it is still a bit of a loss of face to join this matter if he can't beat it, so the big employer still needs a step.
"Of course, the Clippers are definitely going to put together a big three, and they have draft picks and huge salary space!"
When Durant heard the words of his agent Kleman, he immediately nodded, and stopped looking at the boring topics on Reddit, and said with emotion:
'If I want to play against a super team, I also want to play in a strong team, which is definitely what the fans want to see.
Cleman hurriedly showed a look of approval, and by the way, he gave the big employer another step:
"It's closer to Silicon Valley, and it's easier for us to make some investments, Kevin, and I'm sure Myers will give the best terms!"
“...”
On the night of the 29th, in the Staples Arena, Clippers fans were still immersed in Li Ze's 64 points, and when they warmed up in advance, every time Li Ze hit a shot, there was a burst of cheers from the scene.
Although Amerika's sports media has changed the wind and started touting the more story-telling LeBron James, fans don't think that much, and everyone likes the best players.
Back at home, Steve Ballmer wore a pink shirt and grey trousers tonight.
The old man thought that his outfit would bring good luck to the Clippers, and even the mascot of the recruits was ready to match such colors...
This year, the Clippers have accomplished their goal, as long as they recruit star players in the offseason and move next year, the Clippers will be completely rebuilt.
Steve Ballmer also sensed a change in the direction of the wind, which made him realize that the league might be sending a signal early.
"Kayce, don't care about the media, we've been very successful this year!"
"All you have to do now is enjoy the game and enjoy the process!"
While Li Ze walked back to the players' tunnel, Steve Ballmer came to Li Ze's side and took the precautionary shot in advance.
Li Ze understands what the old man means, the NBA league also needs a championship with a stronger story, and it is reasonable to build momentum for LeBron James.
The snub of the media is not a big deal for him, as long as he plays a good performance, it is also a routine operation for these wall-to-wall grasses to fight against James for hot traffic.
In the final analysis, storytelling is also in the service of victory, and no one cares no matter how good the story of the loser is.
"Victory is ours! No matter what others think, the Clippers will win the championship this year! ”
Li Zechong raised an eyebrow at Steve Ballmer next to him, indicating that he understood what the other party meant.
"Just enjoy the game, we're going to have a topping out ceremony for the new arena in the off-season, Kayce, and the team will definitely be stronger next year!"
Steve Ballmer sent a colorful pie again, the new stadium is inseparable from Li Ze's support, and the old man basically acquiesced that Li Ze could interfere in the team's operation.
The Clippers, who got the game point, are bound to win tonight's game, while the atmosphere in the Warriors' locker room is a little dull.
Steve Kerr has realized that he made a mistake, Stephen Curry is not Lee, crazy shots, and can't guarantee consistency.
Rotate to the rhythm of the Clippers, and the main force is not suitable for the Warriors.
"Win this game, tie-break 7 and we'll be back at Oracle Arena!"
"Play at our pace, share the ball quickly, cherish the offensive possession of every round, don't care about the opponent's score, and play the game that belongs to the Warriors."
Kelai, who has already changed his jersey, secretly pouted, the game is all over this, and if you lose, you will go home, in this case, it will be over!
If you throw it in, you will grab seven, and if you throw it away, you will fish, Kelai understands his ability, he can't play a gorgeous low-post offense like Li Ze, but he thinks that his shooting ability is not inferior to his old friend.
Curry continued to take on the responsibility of leadership, and the head coach handed out chicken soup and also said loudly:
"Believe in each other and we'll win the game!"
Win o Home, games like this have always been a fan favorite.
Steve Kerr wants his players to play with the Warriors' offensive rhythm, but under pressure, the players are very careful with the ball every time.
Watching Harrison Barnes hit the iron again from beyond the three-point line, the Warriors coaching staff all frowned, and the five-man lineup couldn't hit open shots, which would be the worst-case scenario.
Tucker, who started tonight, retracted into the paint zone and successfully protected the rebound in the backcourt.
Noticing that the Warriors retreated quickly, Li Ze, who received the ball, no longer pursued speed and dribbled through the half court unhurriedly.
The two sides have played five games and are very familiar with each other's defensive strategies, with Li Ze holding the ball in his left hand and advancing along the touchline to the left flank.
Approaching the three-point line, noticing that Klai at the top of the arc began to move, the Warriors' defense quickly rotated, and Li Ze immediately realized that the opponent let go of the right bottom corner and wrapped him.
Giving up the far end, the nearest pack, and rotating the online defense in turn, Li Ze has fully adapted to such a defensive strategy.
Seeing that Kelai had approached the left flank, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, vigorously fried the ball, suddenly raised his body's center of gravity and pulled the ball back slightly and slightly.
At the same time, quickly adjust the footsteps, then suddenly lower the center of gravity, sideways acceleration breakthrough.
Li Ze's extremely fast first step allowed him to easily jam half of his body, and with his huge stride, he crushed and broke through before the Kelai Bao defense was in place.
Yin Gedala desperately slid to the right back, Klai also chased his ass to block Li Ze at the baseline position, the three rushed to the baseline, and Green twisted with Jokic under the basket.
Seeing that the bag clamp was about to be completed, Li Ze broke through to the left near the baseline position, and the ball flew straight to the bottom corner of the right side.
After Tucker received the ball, there was no one in front of him, and Curry on the right wing made a quick pounce, but did not cause any interference, and the empty three-point shot quickly jumped!
"Huh!" Three-point shot hollow into the net!
Harrison Barnes hit the iron, and Tucker hit a three-pointer to make it 8:14, and the margin instantly came to six points.
With 5 minutes and 22 seconds left in the first quarter, Staples Arena finally erupted in loud cheers.
The previous game was unusually dull, with a slow pace and iron, and the home team led by more than 5 points, and the Clippers fans were completely relieved.
The Warriors hide Curry well on the defensive end, but expecting an offensive guard with excellent defensive ability is an extravagant expectation in itself.
On the commentary bench of TNT on the spot, Reggie Miller noticed that Li Ze had already delivered 4 assists in the first half of the game, and immediately entered Li Ze's blowing mode:
"That's Kayce's ultimate individual ability, he can always break down the Warriors' defense with ease, which is the rhythm of the game that the Clippers like!"
Commentator Kevin Harlan saw Klee hit a 2-pointer from the left elbow of the free throw line with 24 seconds to go, and he also felt that the situation on the court was a little unfavorable for the Warriors:
"Maybe that's Steve's strategy of play, at least so far, the Warriors haven't made a mistake!"
After playing half a quarter of the game, Li Ze completely figured out the defensive routine of the Warriors, and the opponent was more resolute tonight than in the previous games.
Obviously, stimulated by G5, the Warriors, who broke the big defense, couldn't stand his individual scoring anymore.
“lets go clippers! lets go clippers! lets go clippers! ”
The emotions of the Clippers fans also gradually rose and began to shout loudly.
Li Ze gave the ball to Jokic at the free throw line in the middle of the court, and after his body shook to the right, Li Ze cut in without the ball from the left side of the white fat man.
As soon as he saw Li Ze start to play without the ball, Green cursed in his heart, and frantically put pressure on Jokic, who was receiving the ball, trying to cause the white fat man's mistake.
Yin Gedala saw Tucker in the bottom corner of the right side come to the right near the baseline position to do cross cover, and could only squeeze through quickly, and finally let Li Ze easily catch the ball in the right blocking area...
Jokic took advantage of his height to throw the ball to Li Ze at the first time, and then immediately cut to the basket.
So far in the series, Jokic has also adapted to Green's defense, reduced his low-post offense, focused on eating cakes, and his efficiency has begun to rise again.
Yin Gedala immediately grabbed the ball when Li Ze received the ball, but this kind of defense failed to play any role, with his back and the ball with his left hand, Li Ze leaned on the ball while observing the defensive movements on the field.
As soon as Barnes' defense at the top of the arc moved, Li Ze immediately exerted his strength, reluctantly lowered his center of gravity, and after playing, he took his right foot as the axis, and pulled the ball back with his left hand.
Although Yin Gedala has defended many times, he still can't predict which direction Li Ze will turn around.
The opponent's defense was half a beat slower, Li Ze quickly twisted forward, and after completing the homeopathic jumper!
Although he also jumped up and blocked, Yin Gedala helplessly found that he was falling faster than Li Ze, and there were cheers in his ears, and he scored again...
The nightmare struck again, Curry was able to punish Jokic with pick-and-rolls outside the three-point line in some rounds, but the defensive end became the team's biggest shortcoming, falling into a positional battle and being frequently targeted.
Li Ze opened the bow left and right, as long as he received the ball in the low post near the paint area on both sides, whether it was a step-back jumper, or a step-up and down-step basket, he never lost it.
Every time you score, you can make the Clippers fans on the scene emotional!
When the game was still 1 minute and 32 seconds in the first quarter, Curry had no choice but to switch to behind Li Ze.
The moment he received the ball, he wiped it to the bottom line, and Li Ze's tank breakthrough made Curry, who broke the defense, directly hug and fouled.
Green, who wanted to help defend his thighs, saw that the frustrated Curry stopped talking, and everyone on the Warriors could feel this powerlessness.
Li Ze's penalty hit steadily, and commentator Kevin Harlan also sighed:
"It's horrible efficiency, 7-of-7, 2-of-2 free throws, 16 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists, Kayce was in great shape tonight!"
At 20:28, the difference came to 8 points!
Chris Webb looked at the technical statistics of the Warriors' starting 5 very average shots, and couldn't help but start out:
"In such a crucial game, star players should step up and Stephen Curry should respond!"
Steve Kerr's response was to replace Curry, Livingston came in, learned from the previous lessons, and the Warriors' rotation was a lot more frequent tonight.
In the last 1 minute of the first quarter, Harris hit the iron on the Clippers' side, making the score 22-28.
In the key game, Li Ze's response was not to play!
The Warriors coaching staff looked at Li Ze, who continued to appear, and was speechless, and Steve Kerr was even more eager to react to the league:
"Played 48 minutes, this is a foul!"
The Warriors continued to play with Harrison Barnes, who was 1-of-5 in the first quarter and scored 2 points in anger, and the coaching staff chose to trust the forward.
One big and four small, Livingston, Klee, Harrison Barnes, Green, Bogut appeared.
Yoon had to take a breather, and the Warriors coaching staff chose to protect Curry's fitness.
On the Clippers' side, Plumlee also got a chance, also one big and four small, with Evan Turner, Reggie Bullock, Lee, and Tucker rotating on the court.
The plan did not change quickly, Steve Kerr saw that Kerry continued to hit the iron, and quickly asked for a timeout, and after Curry came on the court, he also followed the iron, which completely made the Warriors desperate.
"If the Warriors can only rely on Draymond Green to bite the score, then they will probably lose the game tonight."
Chris Webber's expected star player matchup didn't show up, and when he saw Green hit a three-pointer at the top of the arc, he complained instead.
"Kerry Thompson's shot selection is debatable, and that's the limit of a pitcher, and once you suddenly lose your touch, the offense will be problematic."
Reggie Miller can't comment on Klai's performance, when he feels good, he throws the screen, throws it in, and that's the Warriors' offense.
Accept unreasonable shot selection, and naturally accept shooting iron.
After getting back the main lineup, Curry hit two irons in a row outside the three-point line, but lost a long rebound, and was hit by Li Ze to switch offense and counterattack successfully.
Seemingly no longer trusting his touch, Curry started passing the ball after the pick-and-roll.
Green didn't expect Curry to give up the opportunity to play Jokic alone, and he was not ready to catch the ball after blocking the outside bomb, and suddenly the butter hand dropped the ball.
Li Ze, who was forced to change defenses, saw the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and stabbed it, Green completely lost control of the ball, desperately chasing Li Ze, who was accelerating.
Before everyone in the Warriors could react, Li Ze, who was close to the three-point line at the top of the arc, suddenly dribbled behind his back, did not make adjustments after the emergency stop, exerted force under his feet, and converted three points to quickly jump shot!
Green, who was still sliding, subconsciously pounced, but hit Li Ze's wrist in the air.
"Whew! Chirping! ”
The ball hollowed into the net, the referee immediately blew the whistle, the Staples Arena instantly exploded, and the Clippers bench and the atmosphere team all jumped up to celebrate.
"Well behaved, man! If you want tickets to the finals, just say hello to me in advance! ”
Li Ze walked to the free throw line with a smile and praised Green's play by the way.
It's just that Green, who heard the appreciation, was so angry that his face turned black, and he couldn't say anything if he wanted to spew trash, compared with Li Ze, his achievements were 108,000 miles behind...
“mvp! mvp! mvp! ”
The moment he stood on the free throw line, the scene immediately erupted into a huge shout, Li Zejia hit a solid free throw, scored 4 points successfully, and Steve Ballmer under the basketball hoop also stood up and cheered constantly.
At 32:46, the margin came to 14 points, and Steve Kerr could only ask for a timeout.
The framed Klee didn't care about the point difference at all, but Curry returned to his seat looking a little frustrated.
Playing away from home, without a three-pointer, the Warriors' offense was out of flames.
The chicken soup that was suspended and replenished did not work, and it was the Clippers who took the lead in speeding up the offensive tempo, and as long as there was a long rebound, the Warriors could only retreat.
The combination of fast and slow Li Ze began to score steadily, and he could feel that the Warriors were getting more and more impatient.
The outside core hit the iron, relying on Green's play, and scored 20 points in a single quarter.
At 42:56, the Clippers entered the second half with a 14-point lead.
Perhaps the Warriors failed to play as expected, and Chris Webber on the commentary bench was another output:
"Curry was 3-of-8 and scored 9 points, Kerry Thompson was 2-of-9, scored zero in the second quarter, only scored 5 points in the half, and the two were 3-of-12 from beyond the three-point line, and the jump shot couldn't win the championship!"
Reggie Miller didn't expect the Warriors to pull up the outside core tonight, but he was always extra lenient with his pitchers:
"That's the Warriors offense, you know, when they shoot those three-pointers, it's going to be unstoppable!"
"It's a shame that their opponents are the most consistent scorers in Kayba history, and if they make mistakes, they will be punished, and time is running out for the Warriors."
Commentator Kevin Harlan was more concerned about Li Ze's data, and looked at the technical statistics and said excitedly:
"12-of-14 in the half, 1-of-2 from beyond the three-point line, and 5-of-5 from the free-throw line, Kayce has 30 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 steal!"
"Perhaps, tonight, we can witness another triple-double of 50 points, an incredible performance!"
In the second half of the game, the Clippers, who were completely free of pressure, played more and more, and Tucker even played 2+1 under Curry's defensive basket after crossing the bottom line.
Although the Warriors also found some touch, they couldn't limit the Clippers' scoring, and Steve Kerr sighed in his heart when he saw Li Ze easily hit a two-point pullup:
"It's all over, 73 wins, stop in the division finals..."
By the fourth quarter of the game, broadcaster TNT had already begun preparations for the division winner's medal ceremony.
The Clippers fans at the scene also began to celebrate the victory in advance, staring at Li Ze's data on the big screen by the way.
With 2 minutes and 01 seconds left in the game, as Li Ze stood up to Yin Gedala's defense, the right wing, and hit the conversion three-pointer again, commentator Kevin Harlan also raised his voice:
"Extreme efficiency, 22-of-28, 2-of-5 from beyond the three-point line, 9-of-9 from the free-throw line, Kayce has a triple-double of 55 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists tonight!"
"For the second time in his career, he scored a 50+ triple-double, the only one in history! It's an honor to witness a new record again! ”
Steve Kerr called a timeout and there was no suspense left in the game
Patted Curry on the shoulder, Steve Kerr didn't know how to comfort, the opponent was too strong? ...
Back on the bench, Curry was completely shut up with a towel, 73 wins, and stopped in the Western Conference Finals, and they became the biggest joke in the league.
Although Kelai is not in a beautiful mood, but if he loses, he loses, and he doesn't regret shooting those shots, and he admits that he has this pot...
In the Staples arena, Clippers fans were waiting for the end of the game, and at the last moment, Livingston stopped attacking and let the time run out, and the game was officially over.
98:112, relying on Li Ze's stable performance, the Clippers successfully defeated the Warriors, eliminated the opponent with a big score of 4:2, and entered the finals again!
Steve Ballmer waved his fists and pulled his friend next to him to celebrate wildly, this lineup has won all games, and after the offseason rebuild, isn't it heaven!
Draymond Green watched the Clippers' atmosphere group come to the center of the court, cooperate with the audience, and shouted happily, and his heart immediately hit lemon.
With a 73-win record he was proud of, he ended up in the division finals, and Green felt like he was back to the clown who warmed up the three-ball tournament...
The award ceremony for the division championship at home was naturally very enthusiastic, and the Clippers were familiar with this process, and after the Warriors left the court lonely, everyone quickly changed into the division championship T-shirts.
The Clippers fans wearing white cheering T-shirts at the scene also stood up and watched the league staff roll out the golden spherical trophy belonging to the division champion, and cheered again for a while!
Steve Ballmer also changed into a T-shirt, pulled Li Ze, and stood at the front of the crowd.
Commentator Kevin Harlan incarnated as the host of the award ceremony at this time, and came up to boast about Li Ze's performance:
"Ladies and gentlemen, congratulations on another new record today!"
"Unbeatable performance, division finals, 52.3 points, 11.6 rebounds and 8.3 assists per game, oh my God! Approaching 50+ triple-double data, I can't help it, I'm sure everyone wants to hear Kayce's feelings! ”
“mvp! mvp! mvp”
Steve Ballmer led the Clippers into a loud shout, and the MVP cheers soon rang out in the arena.

"The data that can be obtained is naturally inseparable from the support of teammates and fans! Kudos to the Warriors as well. ”
"It's a common honor for us, and of course, as you all know, I've never cared about data."
"What makes me happiest is that we have reached the finals again, and I will do my best in every game after that!"
