The media have been waiting for this day for a long time.

The Splash Brothers are so popular, and now a new Splash Brothers has come out!

And the playoffs are meeting again, this is simply the opponent with the most traffic!

"Mr. Zhou Yang, the Clippers caused you a lot of trouble in the regular season, and when we meet in the playoffs, do you have any targeted tactics?"

Zhou Yang thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Our two teams are very familiar with each other, there are no special tactics, it depends on who plays better!"

"So, will you continue to play against the Clippers?" The reporter asked excitedly, he, like many fans, is very much looking forward to the Splash Brothers, Thompson, and Paul's matchup!

Zhou Yang smiled: "It is very likely, but it also depends on the specific situation, Paul has a strong ability to control the rhythm of the game, and we are ready."

The reporter looked at Curry again and asked, "Stephen, I heard that you and Thompson are young and have always had a good relationship, right?"

Curry nodded, "That's right, Thompson and I have played together since we were kids, practiced together."

"Then have you ever wanted to play on the same team as Thompson?"

Curry laughed, "Of course, I've thought about it a long time ago, but some things don't come to my will. Now I am on the same team as Brother Yang, I am very happy, and I have won the championship, if I have the opportunity in the future, let's talk about it!"

The reporter said, "If you can be on a team, you will be the real Splash Brothers!"

Other reporters also chimed in, very yearning.

But Zhou Yang frowned, and interjected lightly: "Why do you think like this, even if we are good friends in private, isn't it good to be opponents on the field?" Why do you have to play brother basketball?"

The reporter was speechless when asked by Zhou Yang, and he didn't know what to say......

On the Clippers' side, Paul and Thompson also spoke to the media.

Just beat the Lakers, which boosted the morale of both the Clippers.

So Paul and Thompson seem to be in a good mood.

"Chris, beat the Lakers, do you have anything to say?"

Paul smiled and replied, "The Lakers are very strong, we were able to beat the Lakers in seven games, proving that we are the stronger one, and I am proud of my teammates!"

The reporter asked, "The fans call you the new Splash Brothers, are you confident of beating the Warriors' Splash Brothers?"

Paul nodded confidently and said, "Of course, we will defeat them, but I don't like the title of Splash Brother, we should have something else."

The reporters became interested and asked, "Which one do you think sounds better?"

Paul scratched his head: "I haven't figured it out yet, and when we beat the Warriors, I hope the fans will give us a fun name again."

Another reporter asked, "Mr. Klay, this is your first year as a rookie and you have played such an efficient performance, what are you expecting from the playoffs?"

Thompson is a representative of people who don't talk much, and he's a rookie now and doesn't know how to deal with the media.

So he simply replied, "I just want to beat the Warriors, make it to the Western Conference finals, and then go to the Finals and win the championship!"

The reporter was very interested in Thompson's arrogance, and asked, "I heard that you and Stephen Curry are good friends, right?"

Thompson nodded, "Yes, but it's nothing to do with the game, I'll lock Stephen in the game and won't let him make a move!"

Paul nodded slightly, he was very satisfied with Thompson's words, rookies need to be so young.

At half past eight in the evening, Oracle Arena in Golden State.

In the second round of the playoffs between the Warriors and the Clippers, the first game begins.

During the pre-game warm-up, Curry deliberately walked over to have a chat with Thompson, after all, this is Golden State's home court.

But Thompson had a cold face and deliberately dodged it, giving Curry a lot of facelessness.

Curry wasn't angry, he knew what Thompson meant

Si, he could only smile and walk away silently.

The Warriors' starting lineup is Zhou Yang, Curry, Chandler, Turkoglu and Tony Allen.

Nelson Sr. promoted Tony Allen to the starting lineup because the Clippers' outside offense is too strong, and the interior also needs to help defend it.

The starting lineup of the Clippers is Paul, Thompson, Griffin, Jordan Jr. and Caron Butler.

Jumping the ball in the middle circle, Jordan Jr. grabbed the first wave of the ball.

Although Chandler is already a top blue-collar center, Jordan Jr.'s explosiveness is indeed more explosive!

Paul holds the ball at the back and pushes forward.

Curry single-handedly defends Paul.

After increasing his strength, it was too difficult for Paul to single Curry, so Paul didn't bother to do that, and directly called Griffin to cover and block Curry.

Paul quickly moved sideways, and Turkoglu made a big delay.

But Paul has a strong ability to play small and big, and he changed direction twice in a row, and he shook off Tekoglu and hit the penalty area.

Jordan Jr. accelerated, bypassed Chandler, jumped high, and Paul tossed the ball lightly and passed it accurately to the top right of the basket.

Bang!

Jordan Jr. vigorously poured the basket and scored two points first!

Even though everyone knows this is how the Clippers score, they just can't prevent it.

Paul's passing ability and Jordan Jr.'s explosive bounce are a perfect combination!

2:0！

Warriors offense.

Curry dribbled past half court, and in the face of Paul, he didn't call for cover, and wanted to hit Paul directly.

But he underestimated Paul's small movements.

At the moment when Curry changed direction, Paul pushed Curry's ribs with his elbow, and Curry instantly stopped in pain.

Paul took the opportunity to cut off the ball and prepared to play a counter-attack.

Curry had no choice but to make a tactical foul and hold Paul.

The referee's whistle blew and Curry was given a foul, and the Clippers served a sideline ball.

Curry clutched his ribs and argued with the referee, but the referee was unmoved.

Paul's movements are so subtle that the referee usually can't spot them.

And there is a default unspoken rule in the league, which is that the foul action of a small player, as long as it is not excessive, turn a blind eye.

Although Curry is not much taller than Paul.

The Clippers attacked, Paul and Griffin played another block, and Griffin hit the basket and dunked it!

The Warriors' No. 4 and 5 positions are not as talented as the Clippers, and they are indeed difficult to play.

At 4:0, the Clippers lead.

Nelson Sr. had a solemn face on the sidelines, and he knew that the Clippers were definitely a tough opponent this year, and it was not easy to play.

Even Nelson Sr. felt that if the Clippers defeated the Warriors and entered the Western Conference finals, then the Clippers would definitely be the champion this year!

Zhou Yang saw that his teammates were a little confused, and immediately shouted encouragingly: "Brothers, let's fight our own tactics, it's okay!"

The Warriors attacked, Curry didn't fight Paul this time, and also called a cover, and Turkoglu came up to block Paul.
