On May 17th, after the end of G2 of the Western Conference Finals, Ameika's sports media blossomed.

After the game ended last night, I rushed to write late at night, and all the ball critics spoke out in the morning, not because Li Ze scored 56 points, but because Draymond Green's big mouth attracted more attention.

"Megalomaniac, looking down on the second-round show, proving yourself..."

The Warriors fans were very supportive, but they were scolded by Li Ze's fans that night.

"Has Greenmond Green achieved anything? Oh, the All-Star bench? Eat the Warriors' record bonus! ”

The fans were full of energy, and it was 23:30 at the end of the game that night, plus the press conference after the game, and they went to 0:00!

In such a situation, the traffic on Reddit skyrocketed, and everyone stayed up late to spray each other...

It's just that the Clippers fans don't feel like it's fun, why didn't the Warriors boss come out to speak, and the next morning, a bunch of people on Twitter started @Durant:

"KD, come and talk about something!"

"Kevin Durant, you can't win a championship without a confident softie, without Kayce!"

"KD, where are you? Why do you turn around and walk away when you lose? ”

Durant, who was about to fly back to Oakland on the morning of the second day, looked at a large tweet of fans @ him on Twitter, and then swiped a few tweets, and was speechless:

"Can you be sprayed while lying down? Grimm pretends to be X, I'm guilty? ”

A lot of players have given up on social media during the playoffs, like LeBron James, who said goodbye to Twitter when he got into playoff mode.

But Durant is different, while playing the Western playoffs, he is still in the mood to comment on the Eastern playoffs, and before getting on the plane, he simply sent a tweet to show his attitude:

“slim reaper is ing！”

The tweet means "Death is coming", and Durant set a flag for himself...

Losing two away games was also a planned event for the Warriors.

After all, in the face of a team with 74 wins, everyone swept all the way, and it was a small probability to steal an away victory while they were unprepared.

Steve Kerr wasn't in the mood to pay attention to what the media was saying, and for the Warriors' coaching staff, it was worse than they expected.

The Clippers slammed into the interior and seized on the Warriors' lack of height to protect the basket, and it was difficult for Durant and Green to protect the basket when the outside defense was weak.

Defense never relies on one person, and for a five-man squad like the Warriors, the system is the most important thing!

After getting on the plane, the atmosphere was a little dreary, and the assistant coach looked through last night's technical stats and kept whispering to Steve Cole.

Curry knew that he didn't play well last night and wanted to take the initiative to speak out, but Green began to hug his thighs again:

"Guys, when we get back at home, we're going to fight, and we're going to fight with all our might in the next game!"

“goat？ The god of basketball? If that's all you can do, then don't play, G3 can't afford to lose again! ”

Green, who is high and swollen on the left side of his face, keeps calling on his teammates to step up the confrontation when they return to their home court and try to take down everyone on the Clippers.

On the other side, Kelai, who was listening to the song with headphones, was speechless, it was Green who pretended to be X, and it was he who defended against Li Ze.

This season, after Li Ze entered the playoffs, the number of blocks and dismantles was greatly reduced, and many times he faced the defense one-on-one, relying on speed and strength to crush the opposing player.

Kelai didn't like the buff his teammates gave to Li Ze at all, but he turned his head and saw that Curry and Durant didn't speak, and shook his head and didn't make a sound.

...

The Western Conference Finals between the Warriors and the Clippers are over for the time being, and the G3 do-or-die battle will move to Oracle Arena in three days.

The NBA is starting to build momentum for the Eastern Conference Finals, and the Celtics will host two games over the next three days.

The Celtics, who have home advantage, are naturally full of confidence and the schedule is in their favor.

As long as they protect the next two home games, fly to Cleveland and fight for the next away game, they will get match point.

The surface brother Griffin finally felt the attention he hadn't seen for a long time, and the local sports media in Boston was naturally blowing it up.

The title of "the league's number one striker" was thrown on the brains of the surface brothers...

In this era of withering big men, the surface brothers with three championships do deserve to be called the number one power forward.

Even Anthony Davis, the son of Amerika, is talented, but until he has achieved anything, everyone is still willing to give Griffin the title of the strongest.

Celtics fans are paying special attention to this series, and LeBron James is their old rival!

The Cavaliers who flew to the road were unusually low-key, and LeBron James didn't give many interviews, he didn't like playing at the North Shore Garden Arena, and he didn't like the city of Boston...

In the game that night, the silent LeBron James completely broke out after the game began, and one person burst into the front line of the Celtics.

Jay Crowder, Griffin, and Horford couldn't stop James, and the Chosen One scored 15 points on 7-of-8 shooting in the first quarter.

At 30:21, the Cavaliers led by nine points at the end of the first quarter.

The North Shore Garden Arena suddenly became a little quiet, and Celtics fans seemed a little incredulous that the gap between the front lines was so big?

By the end of the half, the score was fixed at 61:49.

In the third quarter, the Celtics fought back, and Griffin was a little overwhelmed by the interior line of Love and Tristan Thompson.

Fortunately, the outside line suddenly found his touch, and played 31:36 in a single quarter, successfully narrowing the difference to within 10 points.

In the fourth quarter of the game, the scores of the two sides rose alternately and entered a state of mutual stabbing.

In the end, at 117:110, the Cavaliers who were playing away took the lead and got a valuable away victory.

Boos erupted in the North Shore Garden Arena, and the Eastern Conference Finals were beaten to the head, and the Celtics fans were a little overwhelmed, why couldn't they stop James?

He was 14-of-24, 1-of-6 from beyond the three-point line, 9-of-11 from the free-throw line, and finished with 38 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 2 turnovers.

LeBron James has handed over a perfect stat!

Kevin Love also made a big splash tonight, shooting 9-of-16, 6-of-9 from beyond the three-point line, and 8-of-9 from the free-throw line, with a double-double of 32 points and 12 rebounds.

In the impression of fans, Lefu couldn't play in the finals, the traversal speed was too slow, and he was always easily scored by Li Ze, but tonight's game illustrated some problems:

"It's not that the Cavaliers are too weak, it's that last year's Li Ze was too strong..."

Griffin, who lost the MMP, was completely out of a good mood, 8 of 16, 22 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 2 turnovers, and got the highest score on the team, and he was still very unhappy.

During the three-game championship period, Griffin rarely lost to LeBron James, but after coming to the East, the number of wins began to decrease...

The result of the game has been decided, and Griffin can only confidently state in an interview:

'We'll protect the home stadium and there's no pressure to play away.'

"You know, we only had a day off after the Eastern Conference semifinals, so we're all tired, so we're going to bounce back in the next game!"

The local sports media in Boston felt that the superficial brothers' words were very reasonable, and the Cavaliers were waiting for their work, and it was not a big deal to lose an away game...

After this game, many fans were discussing:

"How did Kayce beat the Cavaliers last year? ...”

In the Celestial Empire on the other side of the ocean, the Cavaliers won, and the tiger pounce temporarily became Zhan Pounce, as Li Ze's old opponent, James is also very popular:

"I'm Zhan Niu X! The Celtics even want to challenge the Cavaliers, laughing to death! ”

"It's worthy of being the second person in the alliance, crushing the east! I'm amazing! ”

"Get out of the skewers, what's wrong with the second person in the alliance, is it embarrassing to lose to Li Ze?"

"King Baya! Reaching the finals is also a free gift, anyway, the championship is still Li Ze's. ”

"Broken defense, broken defense! Some people can't even touch the floor of the finals, and they are sour here. ”

"James is just weaker than Li Ze, I Zhan Niu X, swept the Celtics and reached the Finals!"

“...”

On May 18th, when there were no games on the day, Amerika's sports media began to rehash the old story, once again discussing the situation of last year's finals.

On TNT's show, all 4 people became wallgrass, selectively forgetting how they mocked LeBron James last year...

"That's LeBron James' dominance in the Eastern Conference, no one is his opponent!"

"We should revisit last year's Finals and the Cavaliers were stronger than we thought they were."

Host Ernnie Johnson also began to rehabilitate LeBron James, keeping up with the traffic hotspots.

Kenny Smith doesn't care much about the Cavaliers' performance, the Celtics are known as the Big Three, but in their opinion, there is too much moisture in it:

"Kayce had an unbelievable performance last year, and no matter how many times I watched the footage, I was shocked."

"It's a two-man era, and unfortunately LeBron James has always been a loser."

O'Neal also felt that the Eastern Conference Finals were a bit watery, and the Celtics and the Dragons seemed to be no different, and neither of the outside could limit James' breakthrough:

"The difference in height and size makes it impossible for the Celtics to effectively establish the first barrier on the outside."

"Once LeBron James' breakthrough is unstoppable, their outside shooter group will start to shine, and I'm not optimistic about the Celtics, they lack real talent!"

Before Charles Barkley could speak, the three of them praised the Cavaliers one-sidedly, and finally saw that everyone was looking at him, and said helplessly:

"I totally agree with you, don't forget that the Cavaliers are a true Big Three!"

"But even if I make it to the Finals, I'm still sticking to my previous opinion, and the Eastern Conference teams won't have any chances."

"The gap is really huge, 74 wins, 67 wins, such a regular record can already say a lot."

Host Ernnie Johnson saw that all three of them gave their opinions, and immediately asked about the topic that fans have been talking about recently:

"Of the active players, Kayce is the real GOAT, the first person in the league, and after that, who qualifies for the second place?"

Charles Barkley immediately did not hesitate to give his opinion when he heard this question:

"I think it's still LeBron James, who has been in the Finals for many years in a row, and that shows his quality!"

Kenny Smith lifted his glasses and asked with a smile:

"Why not Kevin Durant, a two-time champion, a MVP, second only to Kayce among active players."

When O'Neill heard such a rhetorical question, he immediately chuckled and made up for it:

"It's an indisputable fact that Durant didn't make it to the Finals without Kayce!"

“...”

Durant, who was still preparing for the game in Oakland, naturally heard the discussion of the big mouths when he came home in the evening, and this point of view looked at him with a question mark:

"What's there to fight for in second place?"

It's just that when he heard that the ball critic ranked LeBron James in front of him again, Durant secretly complained in his heart:

"The public opinion of the losing game has become like this, if you really want to win a championship, won't you have to become the first in history? ...”

Thinking of the requirements of the coaching staff in the training session, Durant made up his mind again:

"When it comes to the critical moment, the ball has to be in my hands!"

...

On May 19, the Clippers set off for Oakland, and the Western Conference Finals G3 will continue tomorrow night.

Even though the night ticket at Oracle Arena wasn't cheap, there were plenty of Clippers fans who were ready to fly to the road to buy tickets to support.

This year's playoffs have been exceptionally easy for Clippers players, with Paul George coming to the team to provide a huge help on the defensive end.

In the G2 game, Paul George, 8 of 17, 2 of 7 from beyond the three-point line, and 5 of 7 free throws, got 23 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 2 turnovers.

It did pull his hips outside the three-point line, but the Warriors' shooting percentage was not high under high confrontation, and such a score was enough to help the Clippers solve the problem.

"I know LeBron James, he will definitely not let go of such an opportunity, and it seems that our opponent in the Finals this year will most likely be the Cavaliers."

On the plane, Paul George loaned the Clippers a division championship, but this statement was tacitly acquiesced, leading 2-0, and Li Ze would not give up such an opportunity.

"The Cavaliers' perimeter defense isn't as good as the Warriors' defense, and of course, it doesn't seem like much of a difference to Kayce."

"Looks like we're going to win another championship!"

Tucker felt that he had won too many championships, and despite all that, he was a little unhappy with the coaching staff's use of him.

The Clippers have too many players, plus Jaylen Brown is a scout again, the Clippers have to give new players during the regular season, and in the playoffs, the veterans have to work hard.

It's in the team's interest, but for role players, the reduced playing time in the regular season naturally affects the stats, and no one likes this kind of rotation.

Many people compete for a position, even if Li Ze gives up the right to shoot, everyone's data in the regular season is not enough.

Fortunately, in the playoffs, everyone has the strength to work together, and everyone knows that Li Ze has made sacrifices, but there are so many balls, and the Clippers can only be blamed for hoarding too many new ones...

Jaylen Brown naturally knew that the veterans on the team had some opinions about him, and in the playoffs, Coach De Nagro didn't give a chance to start a freshman, and he couldn't prove his quality.

But that's how it is to play in the NBA, they are all here to make money, and there is no reason to humble each other.

The rookie guaranteed contract gives Jaylen Brown a lot of fear, and as a smart guy, he firmly believes he is the future of the team.

"I won the championship in my rookie season, and I always feel like I have less than half of the pursuit, Nikolai, and you can still maintain high-intensity training every day, which is really amazing!"

Anyone on the team can chat with Jokic for a few words, which is regarded as a practice of speaking, but the white fat man pouted when he heard Jaylen Brown's words, and responded in a low voice:

"My agent has told me that as long as I keep the current data, I can sign a good contract."

"Train hard, naturally, to make a lot of money!"

This is the difference between Amélica's players and European players, after winning the first championship, the white fat man wanted to lie flat, but the contract was too small, so he could only continue to struggle.

Although it is not like Chandler Parsons of the Grizzlies, who signed a big contract and lay down directly, if he is allowed to train so hard in the future, it will have to wait until the next contract year...

Jaylen Brown is completely speechless, what's the difference between no dream and salted fish?

After Li Ze got on the plane, he sat on the side of the coaching staff, and the night was long and dreamy, and G3 naturally had to go all out, and after getting the match point, the series was completely over.

"Durant played very well in both games, what an enviable talent!"

In the G2 game, Durant was 13-of-26, 3-of-6 from beyond the three-point line, and 6-of-6 from the free-throw line, scoring 35 points on 5-to-5 shooting.

There's really nothing the Clippers coaching staff can do about this, but the scores are acceptable.

Li Ze doesn't care about how many points Durant scores, he cares more about whether the Warriors will change their style of play:

"Continue to play singles, or do you resume passing? After Kevin joined the Warriors, the other party could indeed adjust calmly. ”

The assistant coach couldn't help but pat his ass when he heard Li Ze's words:

"No matter how the opponent adjusts, the most important thing is to respond consistently, they are facing the best scorer in history, and there will be no chance to return to the home court!"

It seemed to be a resonance, and the coaching staff was like a wave of sycophants for a while, which made Li Ze a little embarrassed.

Finally, Coach De Nagro told his thighs again:

"Kayce, take a few more shots, with your efficiency, it's not a problem to shoot more."

"Whether it's a three-pointer or a mid-range, we can speed up the offensive tempo when we need to, and we're always on the rebound."

Li Ze nodded, there is really no need to be polite in the G3 game, after getting the match point, it is enough to let the little brothers brush up on their sense of existence.

Thinking of tonight's Eastern Conference Finals, Li Ze sighed with emotion:

"All encounters are reunions after a long absence, and this year is an old rival..."

On the night of the 19th, the Celtics fans completely broke the defense, and at the North Shore Garden Arena, they watched the home team lose two home games in a row, which felt terrible!

At 72:41 at halftime, I almost looked stupid to Celtics fans...

In the end, at 130:96, the Cavaliers who were playing away defeated their opponents, and the series score came to 2:0.

With two away wins, there is almost no suspense in the series, and the Cavaliers who return to their home court only need to fight for a win to get the match point.

LeBron James was in excellent form, playing 33 minutes, 12-of-18, 4-of-6 from beyond the three-point line, 2-of-4 from the free-throw line, and efficiently slashed 30 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 steals, 3 blocks and 1 turnover.

The Big Three all played well, with the Cavaliers shooting 19-of-39 from beyond the three-point line and shooting 48.71 percent from three-point range.

Although the Celtics were not strong in the first game, the big loss still made many Ameli ball critics feel very disappointed.

If the Clippers win G3 again, this year's Finals will be LeBron James vs Li Ze...

The sports media don't care about what the surface brother Griffin says after the game, it's over!

The 2-0 lead of the Cavaliers has made the Eastern Conference Finals heat drop sharply, and fans don't like to watch crushing games at all, so the Cavaliers can play by themselves!

...

On the morning of May 20, Ameika's sports media arrived in Oakland and began looking for an opportunity to interview Draymond Green.

It's a pity that at the pre-game press conference, everyone only saw Steve Cole.

Steve Kerr, who played next to his former GOAT, doesn't want his players to be stupid enough to buff their opponents before a game.

The big-mouthed Green was asked by the coaching staff to be strictly forbidden to give interviews, and tonight's game must not be missed, and every detail must be tried to be the best!

The sports media, who couldn't make it to life, looked at Steve Cole with some boredom and asked a few symbolic questions:

"Steve, how are the Warriors going to adjust their defense back home, and how are you going to limit Kayce tonight?"

The cliché question made Steve Cole shrug his shoulders helplessly and then jokingly replied:

'We all prayed to God before the game and it was the best way to defend.

Seeing the sports media laughing at the scene, Steve Cole restrained his smile and replied confidently:

"We can accept Kayce's scoring, and we'll limit the other scorers on the Clippers."

"Basketball is a five-man game, and in the starting lineup, I'm sure the Warriors have the advantage!"

Amelica's sports media all thought Steve Kerr was cheering herself up.

Basketball is five people? They just witnessed one-man basketball at the Western Conference Finals and Finals last year! No one believed the Warriors could defend effectively.

Warriors fans won't forget last year's 73-win run, and the night's Oracle Arena was packed to capacity, with everyone wearing gold cheering T-shirts prepared by the Warriors' uniform team.

Before the game officially began, the stadium had already turned into a sea of gold, with noise, shouting, and cheers.

There were not only home fans, but also some Clippers fans who came to the away stadium, most of them wearing Li Ze's jerseys, and before the game started, the two sides took the lead in spraying each other...

For the Warriors, losing G2 is already on the edge of a cliff, and G3 can't afford to lose again.

With everyone in the dressing room looking serious before the game, Steve Kerr finally told the players:

"Keep a good mentality, basketball belongs to five people, we have more players on the court who can score!"

"Believe in each other, defend hard, protect the rebound!"

Steve Kerr took one last look at Draymond Green, he didn't want his players to continue to work and anger their opponents...

Green patted his chest and said he understood that he was going to be completely focused on the game tonight and that the defensive end had a heavy job.

The Clippers continued to use the same starting lineup as they had in the first two games, and the Warriors continued to fake Pachuria's starters, and after playing more than four minutes, Yoshidala immediately came on.

“arriors！”

In the first quarter of the game, the Warriors fans kept cheering for the home team, and the atmosphere became more and more hot.

In key games, Durant is no longer polite, and has been asking for the ball since the game started.

The score alternated and Steve Cole frowned, and the game was more difficult than he expected.

In the final moments of the first quarter, Li Ze's breakthrough caused Durant, who assisted the defense, to foul and stand on the free throw line again, and there were boos in the Oracle Arena.

Li Ze hit both free throws, and the first quarter of the game ended, at 28:28, the two sides were tied, and Mark Jackson gave his opinion with some concern:

"The Warriors did protect the rebounds, but the current game is still the rhythm that the Clippers like."

Jeff Van Gundy thinks the Warriors are playing well, with 28 points, indicating that the players have no problems with their hands:

"Obviously it's a long game and I think the Warriors are ready to keep that efficiency and they can protect their home court!"

Amid the cheers of the fans, Durant walked to the bench with his head held high, shooting 4-of-10 in the first quarter and 1-of-2 from beyond the three-point line, finishing with 10 points and 4 rebounds.

Durant was quite satisfied with his performance, sat in his seat and replenished his water, and was secretly ruthless in his heart:

“slim reaper is ing！”
