Chapter 418: Fateful Duel (10,000-Word Chapter)

As the 2017 All-Star Weekend approached, Cavaliers fans were in a bad mood and their worst fears were back with injuries on the team.

In an attempt to challenge for a championship, the Cavaliers sent Mike Dunleavy, Morea Williams, and second-round picks in '21 and '22 in exchange for Kyle Korver from the Hawks in early January.

LeBron James is very happy with this deal, this is the leading scorer of the Hawks! It fits perfectly into the one-star system.

But with Love suffering from injuries and frequent absences, the Cavaliers' record has also fluctuated.

Although it still leads the Eastern Conference, it has been opened up by the teams in the top half of the Western Conference in terms of record.

Before the All-Star break, the Cavaliers officially announced that Kevin Love will undergo left knee surgery and is expected to miss six weeks of games, which also means that Love will say goodbye to this year's All-Star Game.

ESPN's reporters immediately broke the news that Carmelo Anthony of the Knicks will replace Love and enter this year's All-Star.

The 32-year-old Anthony has been selected for the All-Star Game for 7 consecutive years, and such a replacement is reasonable, after all, the old stars are very popular, and there are too many new players, and fans will not buy it.

On the morning of the 16th, America's ball pundits were still discussing the Clippers' 51-4 record.

LeBron James turned on the TV and saw that ESPN was not happy to help the Clippers and Warriors loan championships, and even felt that this All-Star weekend was a little boring.

What makes him feel helpless the most is that there is a traitor in the family, and the eldest son likes to watch Li Ze play.

Children in the rebellious period always disagree with their fathers...

LeBron James, who has been in the league for years, certainly knows that his championship window is getting smaller.

Even if he has confidence in his body, when he thinks of the Warriors' lineup and Li Ze's strength, James always feels that the future is not bright.

Good brother Anthony was added to the All-Star, and he made a video call to James as soon as possible, and agreed to fly to New Orleans together.

"LeBron, it's time to enjoy life and put basketball aside!"

In the video, Anthony is holding his wife Lala, looking in a good mood, and Anthony is satisfied to be selected as an All-Star again.

LeBron James responded with a smile, but after ending the call, there was no smile on his face.

The Cavaliers have the highest salary in the league this season, and it is difficult to make any more reinforcements, and to be able to add Kyler Korver can be regarded as owner Gilbert showing his determination to rush to the championship.

However, James knows that such a lineup is not strong enough, and basketball games are sometimes simple, and there are enough star players, and the game will be crushed.

Against the Warriors, the Cavaliers were easily crushed, and the probability of winning the championship seemed to be getting smaller and smaller, which also made James's hometown basketball belief begin to waver.

The old brothers of the class of '03 have begun to lie flat, Wade is always hot, Bosh is trapped by injuries, and Anthony is happy in New York...

Little brother Paul has long been stiff with his thigh wings and doesn't want to join forces with him at all, and Kyrie Irving on the team also lacks respect for him.

There are so many star players in the league that LeBron James has been thinking about where to win a championship this season, only to find that there are very few teams for him to choose from.

Thinking that if he fails to win the championship again this year, he will tie the all-time record, and James also wants to lie down a little...

In the face of absolute strength and talent, fighting spirit seems to be useless.

Savannah can also sense that her lover has become more and more silent in recent years, and the failures of the years have changed James's character.

"How about we go to live in Los Angeles after the contract? Don't think too much about basketball. ”

James saw his wife's surprised gaze, and simply added:

"I mean life is bigger than basketball! The weather in Los Angeles is better and safer! ”

"Just make your decision! I think the Cleveland fans will be considerate of us, too. ”

With the support of his wife, LeBron James relaxed a little more, and secretly decided in his heart:

"The overall champion of life..."

The All-Star Weekend process is much the same every year.

On the 17th, the NBA will hold a pregame press conference for All-Star players, followed by an NBA Hall of Fame press conference, and finally a rookie challenge.

On Saturday the 18th, there will be a single challenge tournament, and on Sunday the 19th, the All-Star Game will begin.

After Li Ze flew to New Orleans, he took Britney to visit Lauren, who was still recovering.

The combination of different skin colors was disliked by the family, Lauren's family did not like Holiday and Holiday family did not like white girls.

The contradictions caused by skin color have gradually escalated over the years, and the rich people do not care about these, while the poor people at the bottom have shifted the reason for their unsatisfactory life to the problem of skin color.

Holiday also earns tens of millions of dollars a year, and bought a villa directly in the luxury city near St. Charles Avenue in the first two years.

Spanning 5,000 square feet, with 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, the interior is luxuriously furnished, plus a private pool and spa.

Britney came here for the first time, and after so many years, she can be regarded as getting out of her stupid and sweet state, plus helping her family, she also has a different view on social issues.

"God! Fortunately, I checked in advance, why unfortunate things always happen to good people. ”

Britney watched her friend lose a lot of weight, from a female man to a delicate little girl, and she was a little sad for a while.

Lauren was on the UCLA football team in college, and later was selected for the Amerika national team and won the World Cup.

The physical fitness is frighteningly good, and she can be regarded as an iron-blooded woman, but after a serious illness, she can never return to her previous state.

After the brain tumor surgery, Lauren's hearing was still damaged, but fortunately, the two did not have children, otherwise they would not have been able to operate in time, and their eyes would be affected.

"It's already a blessing in misfortune, and if I lose my child because of me, I can't imagine how I will live in the future."

After three months of recuperation after the operation, Lauren was still a little weak and could only lean on the bed, but when she saw her college friend, she felt much better.

Seeing the two chattering about each other, Holiday was also relieved, the trouble caused by the color of his skin was greater than he had imagined.

"Thanks, Kayce! It's finally all over. ”

Holiday is still shrinking this season, and his wife's serious illness makes it impossible for him to play with peace of mind.

But fortunately, the Pelicans' management is also considerate of the player, at least not to trade him out at this time.

"Life will definitely get better, we are still young, and the future belongs to young people."

Li Ze's poisonous chicken soup didn't work for Holiday , and when they were in college, the two were almost overwhelmed by Darren Collison and couldn't hold their heads up...

At that time, it was all supported by chicken soup, and I ate too much back then, and now I am immune.

"Come on! Future rookies don't want to make their way in the NBA, just like Anthony Davis, who has left the championship behind. ”

Thinking of his game-obsessed teammate, Holiday also felt that the future was bleak.

The Warriors' lineup was met in the playoffs, and there is a high probability that it will be given away in vain, as for the Clippers, there are no three All-Stars, don't want to win.

Everyone is a professional player, and Holiday even feels that the Pelicans' management has followed suit, and their goal is not to win the championship at all, but to keep Anthony Davis to continue selling tickets...

Li Ze didn't know how to comfort his friends, how to vote and how to enter, he really didn't blame him for this:

"Keep yourself in shape, I'm not interested in playing until I'm 40 years old, the future really belongs to you!"

β€œ...”

On the morning of the 17th, Britney Spears woke up in a daze, and the two returned to the hotel yesterday and tossed all night.

Seeing that Li Ze was still in good spirits, he immediately said angrily:

"I knew that it was so difficult to give birth, and I didn't do protection in the first few years, and it was too hard to check that everything was normal."

Seeing that the stupid girl who was holding herself coquettish had also become mature, Li Ze touched her head and soothed:

"Before the age of 30, there will definitely be results, isn't that what was planned?"

Britney didn't make a sound, the complicated family environment and the tempering of the past few years made her no longer optimistic, buried in her arms and said in a muffled voice:

"Everyone has a preference, doesn't they?"

Li Ze was so funny that he patted the silly girl who grew up in his arms:

"Don't think of me as a ruthless politician!"

The old scum man is not old-hearted, and if his body allows, he may have to continue to create people, and Britney finally realizes that she seems to be an outsider.

"If you have time to come to the house for dinner, you can't refuse!"

Britney, who regained her smile, took the opportunity to say her request, Li Ze nodded helplessly, but secretly complained in his heart:

"It's a small deal worth remembering, is the cash appealing?"

β€œ...”

On the morning of the 27th, the NBA League held a regular press conference for the players selected as All-Stars in New Orleans.

Unlike last year's situation, without Kobe's emotional bonus, most sports media have focused on star players.

This kind of free-for-all press conference can sometimes be embarrassing for players, and Eastern Conference All-Star Paul Millsap interviews very few people...

LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony, dressed in formal suits, became the focus of the court at this time, and media reporters gathered around the two to start the business blowing mode.

Giannis Antetokounmpo appears to be more reserved, and his answers to questions are also straightforward, unlike James's ease.

There are a lot of new players selected for All-Stars this year, and most of the players in the class of 03 are missing, which seems to indicate that the platinum generation of the year seems to be passing away.

Li Ze was dressed in a light gray formal suit, pressing the time to come to Onid Square.

Today, it is mainly the NBA league executives who speak and answer questions, and by the way, pull the star players to the platform, in order to let the media and fans better understand the All-Star Weekend.

Li Ze, who was an old fritter, was not interested in rubbing hot spots, so he pressed the time to arrive, and he also saved boring interview time.

Anthony saw Li Ze's finale, but a large number of sports media turned into licking dogs again, and they farted up, and for a while they had lemons in their hearts:

"Good luck boy! I'm not going to admit that he's better than Michael Jordan. ”

James didn't say anything when he heard his friend's words, except for the teams in the Western Conference, he was the one who knew Li Ze's strength best.

President Adam Silva took the league staff out and began to introduce the All-Star Weekend process, answering questions for the sports media in attendance.

Li Ze had already come to the bearded golfer at this time, DeRozan was also there, and Harden saw that the main owner had finally come, and immediately whispered:

"Are you doing anything normal tonight?"

DeRozan was speechless for a while, his normal activity was to go to a nightclub, and he was pretending to be serious a few minutes ago, but at this time he revealed his true nature again.

"I'm coaching Team World tonight, so you can't forget about the Rookie Challenge, are you?"

The bearded golfer seemed to have this in mind, and he was a little disappointed for a while, he had been holding back for two months, and he had to release it at this time...

"The Rookie Challenge is so boring, this year's All-Star Weekend is boring, the host bonus, Anthony Davis definitely wins."

Harden failed to squeeze into the starting lineup, the natural motivation to play off the bench was insufficient, and the league obviously wanted to support Amerika's son, this game was out of suspense.

DeRozan didn't care about that, he liked the all-star vibe, and then smiled and whispered:

"I'm going to cheer for Team Amirika tonight, don't lose too badly!"

β€œ...”

The night kicked off with the All-Star Celebrity Challenge, and in addition to the radio host of the team's owner, a former NBA player, familiar to Amica fans, the Eastern Conference team also featured a star with a lot of power:

kris wu...

The Kings of Smoothie Center, home of the Pelicans, was packed out tonight, and the celebrity atmosphere was in full swing before the start began.

Li Ze, who was dressed in formal clothes, obviously felt that many young girls came to watch the game for the Canadian electric eel, holding signs, screaming, and shouting for autographs, the popularity of electric eels is really good...

Before the game, this Kris, also came to Li Ze to say hello, the two simply shook hands, and when Li Ze sat back in the front seat, he couldn't help but take out his mobile phone and look at it twice:

"There's not enough electricity!"

The electric eel that slashed 3 points in anger was well received by fans, and Giegie was so handsome and spicy!

In the Rookie Challenge, the Clippers' Jaylen Brown and Brogdon were also named to the Amerika team.

During the game, Li Ze stood on the sidelines from time to time and loudly reminded the players to pay attention to defense, and from time to time took out the tactical version and wrote and drawn.

Sabonis Jr. of the World Team sat on the bench and watched with a bewildered expression.

Every time Li Ze paused and sent chicken soup, he didn't say any tactics at all, but in front of the camera, he acted like a generation of famous marshals.

In the first half, the World Team's tactic was to give the ball to the Knicks' Porzingis, and in the second half, after Li Ze's careful consideration, the tactic was changed to give the ball to the Nuggets' Jamal Murray.

The combination of the two sets of tactics completely stunned the Ameli team...

At 150:141, with Jamal Murray's excellent performance, the world team successfully defeated Amerika.

Brandi Hield and Jamal Murray were each selected MVPs for both teams.

TNT, as the broadcaster of the All-Star Weekend, interviewed Murray as soon as the game ended:

"Congratulations to Murray on his victory, can you talk about your coaching style at Kayce?"

Jamal Murray hasn't played much this season and is a little excited to receive an accolade:

"I love playing next to Kayce, he knows the players very well, the tactics are well arranged, and I can get this award thanks to his trust!"

β€œ...”

On February 18, Porzingis unexpectedly won the skills challenge, and the popular Thomas Jr. was milked.

Li Ze and Paul George were on the stage for Eric Gordon.

The Clippers' super No. 6 is naturally in the spotlight, and this year's biggest opponent is defending champion Kerry Thompson.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Kerai pulled his hip out in the first round, and Gordon and Irving went through the overtime, and finally at 21:18, Eric Gordon won the three-point contest.

It seemed that his score was a little stretched, and Eric Gordon, who won the championship, smiled awkwardly, while Irving, who scored 18 points, didn't care about these things at all, but shouted to help Gordon celebrate.

Paul George and Lee sat under the basketball hoop, with Durant and Curry in the front row.

The live director frequently gave the camera here, and Durant shook his head below and shouted coaxingly:

"The score is too low!"

Paul George immediately teased Durant loudly:

"It's okay to be higher than 6 points, I don't think the fans will mind!"

Seeing that everyone around him smiled, Durant remembered his black history again, immediately sat back in his seat, and said helplessly:

"6 points is not the penultimate one..."

This All-Star weekend, Durant was very busy, with waves of interviews one after another, coupled with Nike's activities, Li Ze saw Adu for the first time.

As the current top star in the Nike camp, Durant has unlimited scenery.

Despite not having the same record as the Clippers, Amika's sports media is convinced that by the playoffs, the Warriors will definitely make it out of the West.

Paul George watched Eric Gordon lift the trophy and had another lemon in his heart, and his position in the MVP rankings began to decline again.

"Don't worry about the MVP, there will definitely be a chance to prove yourself in the future, the Clippers won the championship last season and also played 68 wins, so you just know what to do."

Taking advantage of the interval between individual events, Li Ze comforted the depressed Paul George again.

It's rare to hit a new career high, and the team's record is to the first in the league again, and whoever is replaced will look forward to MVP.

Paul George failed to understand the deep meaning of Li Ze's words, considering that the regular season was running out, and finally just whispered:

"I understand what the alliance means, this year must be for Russell, the city almost moved, I understand the situation."

Turtles are also hugely popular at All-Star Weekend, and Ameika's sports media is very fond of individual heroism.

Although the data is not as explosive as Li Ze last year, the average of 30+ triple-doubles per game is enough to make everyone excited!

The local fans in New Orleans were really enthusiastic, and the dunk contest was not exciting, but the fans in attendance kept exclaiming, and everyone would celebrate every time they completed a dunk.

The slam dunk contest was won by Glenn Robinson III of the Pacers.

The individual challenges are all over, and fans have begun to complain on social media about the performance of all the individual competitions this year.

Before the All-Star Game on February 19, there will be an All-Star Music Festival, and musicians John Legend and Nick Jonas are the big names of the night.

Songs such as "All of Me" and "Jealous" made the fans enthusiastic at the scene.

Chris Paul was also warmly welcomed by the local fans that night, and the chairman of the cannon has risen to a great position in history since winning three consecutive championships.

New Orleans fans begin to miss the old Hornets every once in a while, and this is also Paul's home stadium.

Anthony Davis + Chris Paul have both been in New Orleans, and with the blessing of the two, a fighting for the city vibes has emerged.

Coach De Nagro also gave face, increasing Anthony Davis' playing time.

The crowd fed the cakes, the fans cheered, and the aerial relay was staged frequently.

Among the Eastern Conference All-Stars, Giannis Antetokounmpo played the most seriously and also frequently staged breakthrough dunks.

Fortunately, at the last moment, Anthony Davis, the leader of the group, fought for himself and scored key goals in a row to help the Western All-Stars seal the victory.

At 178:188, under the offensive battle, the Western All-Stars won as they wished.

There was no suspense in the All-Star Game MVP award, with 26 of 39, 52 points, 10 rebounds and 2 steals, and host Anthony Davis happily lifted the trophy.

"Thank you so much to the fans who showed up to support the All-Star Game, I know how difficult it is for us to host the All-Star Game!"

"With this trophy tonight, I want to dedicate it to the city of New Orleans and to the fans who have always supported the Pelicans!"

Anthony Davis's speech made the fans start cheering loudly, President Adam Silva smiled and nodded, he was very satisfied with today's script, the league needs star players to stay in the small ball market...

Li Ze and LeBron James both only played 20 minutes tonight, and the two didn't steal the show, this is the All-Star Game that belongs to New Orleans, and as superstars, it's good to cooperate with the show.

...

Winning the All-Star Game MVP, the Pelicans seem to feel that such an honor is not safe.

On Feb. 20, the Pelicans sent Tyrek Evans, Langston Galloway, Buddy Hield, a 2017 first-round pick and a second-round pick that year;

Eventually traded from the Kings for DeMarcus Cousins and Orim Kaspi.

The deal shows the Pelicans' attitude:

"We're still going to win the championship and we've got a good deal for Anthony Davis!"

No sooner had the All-Star Game ended, and the blockbuster deal brought Amelika's sports media to a collective climax.

The league's No. 1 center and the league's No. 1 forward have joined forces, and the league's strongest interior combination has been born!

By far the league's strongest backcourts are the Rockets' Chris Paul and James Harden;

The league's strongest forwards are the Clippers' Lee Ze and Paul George;

After this deal was reached, the strongest inside line in the league was finally born! For a while, Pelican fans were overjoyed, and they finally remembered it on social media:

"Pelican Championship!"

On the morning of the 21st, the Lakers also changed, and it seemed that they had accumulated enough talent.

Kupchak left the general manager position, and Magic Johnson became the new president of basketball operations.

As a famous legend of the Lakers, it is indeed a beautiful thing to lead the team to complete the rebuild, and at the press conference, Magic Johnson showed his signature smile again and said confidently:

"Give me two years and I'm guaranteed a superstar on the Lakers!"

The Los Angeles media trusted Magic Johnson's promise very much, and only a small number of fans complained on social media:

"If we could get Kayce back then, we'd have more championships than the Celtics by now!"

Compared to previous offseasons, none of the teams that can compete for the championship this year have made any moves.

The Cavaliers and Celtics in the Eastern Conference have not moved, and there have been no trades for teams in the top half of the Western Conference.

On the 22nd, the Bulls sent Ty Gibson, Doug McDermott, and 2018 second-round picks to the Thunder;

The final trade got Jovri Lauvergne, Anton Nimoro and Carmelo Ben.

The deal also officially declared that the Bulls, who belonged to the Derry-Kroos era, were gone.

On the same day, the Magic also traded Sergi Yinbaka to the Mongols in exchange for Terrence Rose and a 2017 first-round pick.

After Li Ze, who returned to Los Angeles, saw the deal happening, he sent a blessing text message to his old teammates, and the Menglong team is likely to meet Yin Baka's big contract needs.

...

All-Star weekend gave the Clippers nearly seven days of rest.

The coaching staff didn't ask the players to return early, and the 51-4 record allowed them to adjust calmly.

Back in Serbia, Jokic gained a small circle in just a few days...

In the morning recovery training class, Li Ze looked at the white fat man's efforts to warm up, and couldn't help but joke:

"Contract year weight gain, this is not a good choice, Nikolai, at your age, how can you eat indiscriminately!"

Jokic loves fried foods, desserts, meats and carbonated drinks, and according to his appetite, he can gain weight by eating Heyce for a week...

smiled awkwardly, and the white fat man hurriedly changed the topic:

"Opportunity to come to Serbia and taste our ChebačiΔ‡, very tasty food, no one can refuse such a delicacy!"

Plumlee, who was covered in tendon flesh on the side, felt sour in his heart, he was completely suppressed by a fat man in the team competition.

Thinking about eating nutritious meals every day, and not touching junk food for more than two years, I couldn't help but cry directly...

Siakam, who played well in the Development League, was also recalled.

Coach De Nagro didn't have much hope, but seeing Siakam's performance of running tactics, he still gave affirmation, the leveling worked, and the players did not give up on themselves!

Meng Xinsiakam is not familiar with everyone in the team, and he is very reserved.

"Don't worry about position, as long as you can play well, you can end up in the rotation, and in the Clippers, it's always a good player to get playing time."

Siakam was a little excited when he heard the words of his idol, this bowl of chicken soup for the soul dried up directly, and finally shouted excitedly:

"I'm ready! I'll take my chance! ”

Both Georges Niang and Connaughton, who were also recalled, felt that they could not roll up.

Tucker, the oldest member of the Clippers, worked hard every day, stayed in Los Angeles for All-Star weekend and didn't go anywhere, reportedly reporting to the strength training room every day.

Ingles also practiced three-point shooting, Kevon Looney did not lie flat, and after his body fully recovered, he gradually increased the amount of training...

Powell can occasionally play some garbage time, Jaylen Brown is almost a defensive sapper, only Brogdon faces the least competitive pressure, and the backup point guard is the only one...

Paul George was also a little speechless for a moment as he looked at the energetic new players on the training court, which was completely different from when he was with the Pacers, and the Clippers had no one to mess with.

Coach De Nagro and his coaching staff have already begun to study the footage of the Rockets' games, and according to the current standings, there is a good chance that the two sides will meet in the Western Conference semifinals.

Considering the upcoming schedule, the assistant coach said with confidence:

"With almost two months to prepare, we have a chance to win the championship again this year!"

Coach De Nagro nodded, not making a sound, but the smile on the corner of his mouth indicated that he was in a good mood:

"Five in a row? This is a great achievement! ”

Immediately after the All-Star break, the Clippers had back-to-back games.

Lost to the Warriors 113-123 on the road, then flew to San Antonio, 112-120, and lost to the Spurs.

Fortunately, after returning to the home court on the 27th, 96:114, the Clippers defeated the Hornets and quickly ended their two-game losing streak.

The February schedule is all over, 52-6, and the Clippers still lead the league.

On February 28, in the Warriors' away game against the Wizards, Durant's left knee was accidentally injured by teammate Scum Pachuria, resulting in a sprained medial collateral ligament and tibial bruising in his left knee...

At 108:112, the Warriors lost the game and moved to 50-10 and remained in second place.

The sudden injury spooked the Warriors management, and the situation arose at the end of the season, and team managers Myers and Steve Kerr were very nervous.

Fortunately, after diagnosis, there was no structural damage, and there should be no major problems when he returned from injury in early April.

It's not just the Warriors who have injuries, they're about to enter the playoffs, and Chris Paul of the Rockets is also off the chain...

In the game against the Trail Blazers, he suffered a torn ligament in his left thumb and needed surgery, and the Rockets officially announced that Paul would miss the rest of the regular season.

Seeing that the Clippers and Spurs are still healthy in the top half of the West, Clippers fans can't hold back, and confidently shouted on social media:

"Clippers Championship!"

Li Ze thought that Paul George, an unlucky bastard, would have problems at the end of the season, but he didn't expect that except for a few moments when he would enter the state of ghost peppers, Paul George's body was very hard!

The Clippers coaching staff couldn't stop talking, God is helping the Clippers!

On March 1, the NBA league announced its Player of the Month for February:

LeBron James of the Eastern Conference and Russell Westbrook of the Western Conference won the award again.

Compared with LeBron James's mediocre average of 25.6 points per game, the turtle data exploded:

The Thunder went 7-4 in February, averaging 33.4 points, 11.0 rebounds, 10.0 assists, 1.8 steals, 0.4 blocks and 5.9 turnovers in 34.9 minutes per game.

He averaged 24.8 attempts per game and shot 43.2 percent from the field, 7.0 attempts from beyond the three-point line and 37.7 percent from three-point range, and 10.5 free throws per game and 87.9 percent from the free throw line.

Although the efficiency is average, the average triple-double data of 30+ per game has excited the fans of the Russian City, this is their superstar!

Amilika's sports media didn't feel too much surprise, compared to Li Ze's efficient average of 40+ triple-doubles per game last season, Turtle Turtle is a little underwatched.

It's just that thinking of Li Ze's current state of fishing, as well as the Clippers' No. 1 record in the league, many ball critics are a little depressed, and many people even want to shout directly:

"Let Kayce brush the data! The current performance of the league's players is really boring..."

The MVP candidate list is ranked No. 1, and no matter what Amerika's sports media say, Turtle Turtle has already started to brush up on the Quartet!

In the first week of March, the Clippers defeated the Rockets, Bucks, and Bulls one after another, scoring steadily at 112+, and the depth of the lineup made people feel hopeless.

On the night of the 6th, the Celtics came to Los Angeles to challenge the Clippers away.

After Griffin appeared on the court, Clippers fans cheered enthusiastically for the former Big Three.

On the big screen in the center of the venue, Griffin's wonderful performance during the three-consecutive championship period was also played.

The superficial brother's eyes were sour, although he lay down as soon as he got to the playoffs, those three years were definitely the best memories of his career!

After more than 5 minutes of playing that night, the unlucky Griffin felt discomfort in his right knee and never returned to the game after leaving the game.

Thomas Jr., who had been beaten badly, didn't swell anymore, and at 98-116, the Celtics lost the game cleanly.

Li Ze didn't see the surface brothers after the game, but after returning home, he brushed up on the news announced by the Celtics:

Blake Griffin has a broken bone in his right knee and requires arthroscopic surgery and is expected to miss the rest of the regular season...

Li Ze thought of Paul and Griffin's injuries, and his heart was a little strange:

"The body is too brittle, is it really a playoff crotch pull? ...”

With one injury after another, the Clippers coaching staff simply increased the playing time of the bench lineup and went all out to open the multi-player rotation mode.

Coach De Nagro thought he would lose a few games, but the rotation went crazy.

In individual games, Denagro, who is in a state of open-card trusteeship, does not even need to arrange any tactics, and there is no need for any adjustment in the game.

On March 18th, Amika's sports media were looking forward to the rematch between the Cavaliers and the Clippers, and as a result, LeBron James had a tense back muscle, and it was his turn to rest that night.

Coupled with Kyrie Irving's left knee discomfort, the Big Three are all gone!

It stands to reason that everyone can understand the choice made by the Cavaliers, not to play back-to-back games, reduce the consumption of star players, and go all out to prepare for the playoffs.

But an all-American live broadcast made the Clippers sing a one-man show, and the fans in front of the TV and the fans who bought the tickets felt bloody.

78:118, in the end, the Clippers beat their opponents by 40 points and continued their winning streak.

In an interview after the game, when asked if he would take a break this month, Li Ze generously replied:

"If we can keep winning all the games in March, I probably won't play in the final back-to-back games in April!"

"I've played a lot of games over the years and I'm feeling a little bit tired and I need to be in the best shape for the playoffs."

The reporter from ESPN nodded, and everyone had nothing to say about Li Ze's choice to rest.

Li Ze has played too many high-intensity games over the years, and he has not had any injuries so far, which has made ball critics shout "Iron Body".

Li Ze released the news in advance, which is also convenient for fans to buy tickets, after all, everyone buys tickets to watch the football to see the stars, and he doesn't want to disappoint the fans who support him.

At the end of March, the Clippers played 130+ in several consecutive games.

Lee, Paul George, and Eric Gordon threw three-pointers wildly, and the magic ball play made the Clippers unstoppable.

On the evening of the 30th, the away team challenged the Suns, and at 136:98, the Clippers ended the March schedule and finally achieved an 18-0 record!

With 71 wins and 6 losses, leading the league, Amerika's sports media are stupid, and the Clippers will most likely break the best record in history.

The Clippers had a total of five games in April, and except for one back-to-back between the Spurs and the Rockets, the Lakers, Mavericks, and Kings were all free records.

The new players are getting more and more excited, they are not like Li Ze who has experienced everything, the record is in front of them, and everyone can't wait to play 48 minutes in a game.

In contrast, the Spurs and Rockets are still battling for a spot in the top half, and Popovich doesn't want to fall to No. 4 at all, he's fed up with the Clippers!

Maintaining No. 3 and meeting the Warriors in the Western Conference semifinals was a unanimous decision from the coaching staff.
