The best teammates in the NBA

Chapter 421 The Fateful Showdown

Chapter 421 Destiny Showdown (Ten Thousand Words Chapter)
The 2017 All-Star Weekend is approaching, but the Cavaliers fans are in a bad mood. What they were most worried about happened again, and the team still suffered injuries.

In order to hit the championship, at the beginning of January, the Cavaliers sent Mike Dunleavy, Mo Williams, 1st and 21nd round picks in exchange for Kyle Korver from the Eagles.

LeBron James is very satisfied with this deal, this is the main shooter of the Eagles!It fits perfectly with the one-star radiant system.

However, with Love's injuries and frequent absences, the Cavaliers' record has also fluctuated.

Although still leading the Eastern Conference, but in terms of record, the gap has been widened by teams in the upper half of the Western Conference.

Before the All-Star Game, the Cavaliers officially announced that Kevin Love will undergo left knee surgery and is expected to miss 6 weeks of the game, which also means that Love will bid farewell to this year's All-Star Game.

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

The 32-year-old Anthony has been selected to the All-Star Game for 7 consecutive years. This kind of replacement is also reasonable. After all, the veteran 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 critics were still discussing the Clippers' record of 51 wins and 4 losses.

LeBron James turned on the TV and saw that ESPN helped the Clippers and Warriors loan championships, and he was in a bad mood. He even felt that this All-Star Weekend was a bit boring.

What made him feel helpless the most was that there was a traitor in the family, and the eldest son liked to watch Li Ze play.

Children in the rebellious period always sing against their father.
LeBron James, who has been in the league for many years, certainly knows that his championship window is getting smaller and smaller.

Even if he has confidence in his body, James always feels that his future is bleak when he thinks about the Warriors' lineup and Li Ze's strength.

My good brother Anthony made up for the All-Star team, and immediately made a video call to James and made an appointment to fly to New Orleans together.

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

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

LeBron James responded with a smile, but after the call ended, the smile disappeared again.

This season, the Cavaliers have the highest salary in the league, and it is difficult to make reinforcements. Being able to supplement Kyler Korver can be regarded as the boss Gilbert showing his determination to win the championship.

But James knows that such a lineup is not strong enough. Basketball games are sometimes very simple. If there are enough star players, the game will be crushed.

Playing 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' belief in hometown basketball begin to shake.

The old brothers in the 03 class have already begun to lie flat, Wade will die in the Heat, Bosh is trapped by injuries, Anthony is reluctant to leave in New York
The younger brother, Paul, has long been stiff with his thighs and wings, and he doesn't want to join forces with him at all. Kyrie Irving in the team also lacks respect for him.

There are only so many star players in the league. LeBron James has been thinking about where to win the championship this season, but finally found 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 historical record, James also wants to lie flat
In the face of absolute strength and talent, fighting spirit seems to be useless.

Savannah can also feel that her lover has become more and more silent in the past few years, and the failures for many years have changed James' character.

"After the contract is over, how about we live in Los Angeles? Don't think too much about basketball."

Seeing his wife's surprised gaze, James simply added:
"I mean life is bigger than basketball! L.A. has better weather and is safer!"

"It's up to you to decide! I think Cleveland fans will understand us."

With the support of his wife, LeBron James relaxed a little more, and secretly made up his mind:
"Champions of life."

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

On the 17th, the NBA will hold a pre-game press conference for All-Star players, followed by a press conference for the NBA Hall of Fame, and finally the Rookie Challenge.

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

After Li Zefei arrived in New Orleans, he took Britney to visit Lauren, who was still recovering.

The combination of different skin colors is not liked by the family. Lauren's family doesn't like Holiday, and Holiday's family doesn't like white girls.

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

Holiday also has an annual salary of tens of millions. In the first two years, he directly bought a villa in a luxurious city near St. Charles Avenue.

Covering an area of ​​5000 square feet, with 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, the interior decoration is also considered luxurious, plus a private pool and spa center, life and living are very good.

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

"God! Fortunately, the inspection was made in advance, why do 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, feeling a little sad for a while.

Lauren played for the UCLA football team in college, and later was selected for the Amerika National Team and won the World Cup.

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

After the brain tumor operation, Lauren's hearing was still damaged. Fortunately, the two did not have children, otherwise the surgery would not be performed in time, and the eyes would be affected.

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

After recuperating for three months after the operation, Lauren was still a little weak and could only lean on the bed, but seeing her friends from college, her mood improved a lot.

Holiday also heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the two chatting chatteringly. The trouble caused by skin color was bigger than he imagined.

"Thanks, Kayce! It's all over at last."

Holiday's statistics are still shrinking this season, and his wife's serious illness makes him unable to play with peace of mind.

But fortunately, the management of the Pelicans is also considerate of the players, at least they will not 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. In college, the two were almost overwhelmed by Darren Collison.
At that time, it was all supported by chicken soup. I ate too much back then, and now I am immune.

"Come on! Future rookies don't even think about making their debut in the NBA, just like Anthony Davis, who has left the championship behind."

Thinking of his teammate who was addicted to the game, Holiday also felt that his future was bleak.

The Warriors lineup, if they meet in the playoffs, there is a high probability of giving it away for nothing. As for the Clippers, they don't have three All-Stars, so they don't want to win.

Everyone is a professional player, and Holiday even felt that the management of the Pelicans has followed suit. Their goal is not the championship at all, but to keep Anthony Davis to continue selling tickets.
Li Ze didn't know how to comfort his friend, how to invest and how to get in, it's really not his fault:

"Keep in good shape. I'm not interested in playing till I'm 40. The future really belongs to you!"

"."

On the morning of the 17th, Britney woke up in a daze. The two returned to the hotel yesterday and spent the whole night.

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

"I knew it was so difficult to give birth, so I didn't take protection a few years ago. It was too hard to check everything was normal."

Seeing that the silly girl who was hugging him and acting coquettishly became mature, Li Ze tried to pat her head to appease her:
"Before the age of 30, there will definitely be results. Isn't this what was planned at the beginning?"

Britney didn't make a sound. The complicated family environment and the tempering of the past few years made her no longer optimistic. She buried herself in her arms and said in a muffled voice:
"Everyone has a preference, right?"

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

"Don't take me for a heartless politician!"

The scumbag man is old-hearted, and if his body allows, he may have to continue to make people. Under the influence, Britney finally realized that she seems to be an outsider.

"If you have time to come to eat at home, don't refuse!"

Britney, who regained her smile, took the opportunity to make a request. Li Ze nodded helplessly, but secretly complained in his heart:
"This small business is also worth thinking about. Is cash touching people's hearts?"

"."

On the morning of the 27th, the NBA held a routine press conference for the All-Star players at O'Neald Square in New Orleans.

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

This kind of freelance joint conference can sometimes be awkward for players, and Eastern Conference All-Star Paul Millsap interviews very few people.
LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony, dressed in formal attire, became the focus of the field at this time, and media reporters rushed to their sides to start a business mutual bragging mode.

Giannis Antetokounmpo seemed more restrained, and answered questions in a rigid manner, not as easy as James.

There are many new players selected for the All-Stars this year, and more than half of the players in the 03 class. This situation seems to indicate that the platinum generation of the year seems to be dying.

Li Ze was dressed in light gray formal attire, and came to Onid Square under the pressure of time.

Today is mainly for the high-level NBA league to give speeches and answer questions, and by the way, pull star players to stand on the platform, the purpose is to let the media and fans better understand the All-Star Weekend.

Li Ze of the old fritters is not interested in rubbing hot spots, so he arrived at the scene according to the time, which also saved boring interview time.

Anthony saw Li Ze appearing in the finale, and as a result, a large number of sports media turned into licking dogs again, and they rushed up, and for a while, Lemon was in his heart again:
"Lucky boy! I won't admit he surpassed Michael Jordan."

James didn't say a word when he heard what his friend said. Except for the teams in the Western Conference, he is the person who knows Li Ze's strength best.

After President Adam Silva brought the league staff out, he began to introduce the process of the All-Star Weekend, and answered questions for the sports media present.

At this time, Li Ze had already come to the bearded golfer, and DeRozan was also there. Seeing that the master had finally arrived, Harden immediately whispered:
"Are you going to be active tonight?"

DeRozan was speechless for a while, and his normal activities were going to nightclubs. He pretended to be serious a few minutes ago, but now he revealed his true nature again.

"I'm going to coach the world team tonight, so you guys forgot about the rookie challenge?"

Only then did the bearded golfer realize that there was such a thing, and he was a little disappointed for a while. He has been holding back for two months, and he must release it at this time.
"The Rookie Challenge is too boring. This year's All-Star Weekend is quite boring. The host will add to it. Anthony Davis will definitely win the award."

Harden failed to squeeze into the starting lineup, and naturally lacked motivation to play as a substitute. Coupled with the fact that the league obviously wants to favor Son of Amelia, there is no suspense in this game.

DeRozan didn't care about these things. He liked the atmosphere of the All-Stars. At this time, he smiled and whispered:
"Tonight I will go cheer for Team America, don't lose too badly!"

"."

The first thing that night was the All-Star Celebrity Challenge. In addition to the team owner and former NBA player radio host familiar to Amerika fans, the East team also had a star with full power:

Kris Wu
The Smoothie King Center, home of the Pelicans, was packed tonight, and the celebrity atmosphere was buzzing before the start.

Li Ze, who was dressed in formal attire, obviously felt that many young girls came to watch the game because of the Canadian Electric Eels. Those who held signs, screamed, and shouted for autographs, the popularity of Electric Eels was really good.
Before the game, this Kris came to Li Ze to say hello. The two simply shook hands. When Li Ze returned to the front seat, he couldn't help but took out his phone and glanced:

"Insufficient power!"

The electric eel who scored 3 points angrily received unanimous praise from fans, giegie is so handsome!
In the Rookie Challenge, the Clippers' Jaylen Brown and Brogdon were also selected for the America 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 board to write and draw.

Sabonis Jr. of the World Team sat on the bench and looked confused.

Every time there is a timeout, Li Ze giggled and served chicken soup, he didn't know any tactics at all, but when facing the camera, he acted like a generation of famous coaches.

The World Team's tactic in the first half was to give the ball to Porzingis of the Knicks. In the second half, after Li Ze's deliberation, he changed the tactic to give the ball to Jamal Murray of the Nuggets.

After the combination of the two sets of tactics, the America team was completely stunned.
At 150:141, with Jamal Murray's outstanding performance, the World Team successfully defeated the Amerika Team.

Brandy Hield and Jamal Murray were named MVPs for both teams.

As the broadcaster of the All-Star Weekend, TNT interviewed Murray as soon as the game ended:
"Congratulations to Murray for winning the game. Can you talk about Kayce's coaching style?"

Jamal Murray has not played much this season, and he is a little excited to get an honor:
"I like playing next to Kayce. He understands the player's ability very well, and his tactics are timely and reasonable. Thanks to his trust, I can get this award!"

"."

In the individual challenge on February 2, Porzingis unexpectedly won the skill challenge championship, and the popular Thomas Jr. was milked.

Li Ze and Paul George were present to stand for Eric Gordon.

The Clippers' super sixth man is naturally attracting attention, and this year's biggest opponent is defending champion Klay Thompson.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Clay pulled his hips out in the first round. Gordon and Irving went through an extra game. In the end, Eric Gordon won the three-pointer contest at 21:18.

Seemingly feeling that his score was a bit stretched, Eric Gordon, who won the championship, smiled awkwardly, and Irving, who scored 18 points, didn't care about these things at all, but yelled and helped Gordon celebrate.

Paul George and Li Ze sat under the basketball rack, and Durant and Curry sat in the front row next to them.

The on-site director frequently showed the camera to this side, Durant shook his head below, and shouted:
"Score is too low!"

Paul George immediately ridiculed Durant loudly:

"It's fine if it's higher than 6 points, I think the fans will definitely not mind!"

Seeing that everyone around him would smile heartily, Durant remembered his black history again, and immediately sat back in his seat, and said helplessly:
"6 points is not the bottom one"

This All-Star Weekend, Durant is very busy, interview after wave after wave, coupled with Nike's activities, this is the first time Li Ze sees Adu.

As the current top star in the Nike camp, Durant, who has made it to the top, is full of glory.

Although the record is not as good as the Clippers, Amerika's sports media firmly believes that in the playoffs, the Warriors will definitely break out of the West.

Paul George watched Eric Gordon lift the trophy with another lemon in his heart, and his place on the MVP leaderboard began to decline again.

"Don't worry about the MVP. You will definitely have a chance to prove yourself in the future. Last season, the Clippers won the championship and won 68 games, so you should know the selection."

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 has reached the top of the league again. If it was replaced by anyone, everyone would look forward to the MVP.

Paul George failed to understand the deep meaning of Li Ze's words. Considering that the regular season is running out, he just complained in a low voice:
"I understand the meaning of the league. This year must be for Russell. Oklahoma City almost moved. I understand this situation."

Turtle is also very popular at the All-Star Weekend, and Amelia's sports media loves personal heroism very much.

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

The local fans in New Orleans are indeed very enthusiastic. The slam dunk contest is not exciting, but the fans present are still exclaiming. Everyone will celebrate every time a slam dunk is completed.

The Pacers' Glenn Robinson III won the slam dunk contest.

All the individual challenges are over, and the fans have started to complain on social media that all the performances in this year's individual competitions have been stretched.

Before the All-Star Game on February 2th, the All-Star Music Festival will be held. Musicians John Legend and Nick Jonas are the big-name singers of the night.

Songs such as "All of me" and "Jealous" aroused the enthusiasm of the fans at the scene.

Chris Paul was also warmly welcomed by the local fans that night. Since Chairman Cannon won three consecutive championships, his historical status has risen sharply.

Fans in New Orleans began to miss the old Hornets every now and then, which can be regarded as Paul's home court.

Anthony Davis + Chris Paul have both stayed in New Orleans. With the blessing of the two, an atmosphere of fighting for the city appeared.

Coach De Nagro is also very face-saving, increasing the playing time of Anthony Davis.

Cakes were fed by the crowd, fans cheered, and alley-oops were staged frequently.

Among the Eastern 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 empty-cut group, fought hard and scored key goals in a row to help the Western All-Stars seal the victory.

178:188, under the confrontation, the Western All-Star team got their wish and won the victory.

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

"I am very grateful to the fans who came 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' speech made the fans cheer loudly. President Adam Silva nodded with a smile. He is very satisfied with today's script. The league needs star players to stay in small ball markets
Both Li Ze and LeBron James only played 20 minutes tonight, and they didn't steal the show. This is the All-Star Game in New Orleans. As superstars, it's good to cooperate with the performance.

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

On February 2, the Pelicans sent Tyreke Evans, Langston Galloway, Buddy Hield, the 20 first-round pick and the second-round pick;
In the end, DeMarcus Cousins ​​and Auriem Caspi were traded from the Kings.

This trade shows the attitude of the Pelicans:

"We still want to hit the championship, we have found a helper for Anthony Davis!"

The All-Star game had just ended, and this blockbuster deal made America's sports media collectively climax.

The league's No. [-] center and the league's No. [-] power forward joined forces, and the league's strongest inside combination was born!

So far, the league's strongest backcourt is the Rockets' Chris Paul and James Harden;

The strongest strikers in the league are Li Ze and Paul George of the Clippers;

After this deal was concluded, the strongest insider in the league was finally born!The fans of the Pelicans were overjoyed for a while, and social media finally remembered:

"Pelican Championship!"

On the morning of the 21st, the Lakers also experienced changes, and seemed to feel that they had accumulated enough talent.

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

As a legend of the Lakers, leading the team to complete the reconstruction is indeed a very beautiful thing. At the press conference, Magic Johnson showed his signature smile again, and said confidently:

"Give me two years and I promise the Lakers will have a superstar!"

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

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

Compared with the offseason of previous years, the teams that can compete for the championship this year have not made any moves.

The Cavaliers and Celtics in the Eastern Conference stayed put, and the teams in the upper half of the Western Conference did not undergo any transactions.

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

The trade ended with Geoffrey Lauvergne, Anton Nimoro and Carmelo Pine.

This deal also officially announced that the Bulls belonging to the Derry Kroos era disappeared.

The Magic also traded Serge Ibaka to the Raptors on the same day for Terrence Ross and a 2017 first-round pick.

After returning to Los Angeles, Li Ze sent a congratulatory message to his old teammates after seeing the deal. The Raptors will most likely meet Ibaka's big contract needs.

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

The coaching staff did not ask the players to return to the team early, and the record of 51 wins and 4 losses allowed them to adjust calmly.

Jokic, who returned to Serbia, gained a small amount of weight in just a few days
In the recovery training class in the morning, Li Ze saw Fatty Bai trying to warm up, and couldn't help but tease:
"It's not a good choice to gain weight during the contract year, Nicholas, how can you eat indiscriminately at your age!"

Jokic likes fried food, desserts, meat and carbonated drinks. According to his food intake, he can gain a little weight by eating Hesse for a week
Smiling awkwardly, Fatty Bai hurriedly changed the subject:

"Have a chance to come to Serbia and taste our cebačići, very delicious food, no one can refuse such a delicacy!"

The muscular Plumlee on the side felt sour. 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 crying
Siakam, who performed well in the Development League, was also called back to the team.

Head coach De Nagro didn't hold out much hope, but seeing Siakam's performance in running tactics, he still gave affirmation, leveling has a role, and the players did not give up on themselves!
Mengxin Siakam is not yet familiar with everyone in the team, so he is very cautious.

"Don't worry about the position. As long as you can perform well, you can finally enter the rotation. In the Clippers, players who have always been in good condition can get playing time."

Siakam was a little excited when he heard the idol's words. This bowl of chicken soup for the soul was dried directly, and finally shouted excitedly:
"I'm ready! I'll take my chances!"

Georges Niang and Connaughton, who were also recalled, both felt that they could not move.

Tucker, the oldest player on the Clippers, works out every day. He stayed in Los Angeles for the All-Star weekend and didn't go anywhere. It is said that he reports to the strength training room every day.

Ingles also practiced three-pointers, and Kevon Rooney did not lie flat. After his body fully recovered, he gradually increased his training volume.
Powell can occasionally play some garbage time, Jaylen Brown is almost a defensive engineer, only Brogdon faces the least competitive pressure, and he is the only backup point guard.
Paul George looked at the energetic new players on the training ground, and was a little speechless for a while. This is completely different from when he was in the Pacers. No one in the Clippers was bad.

Head coach De Nagro and the coaching staff have already begun to study the Rockets' game video. According to the current ranking, there is a great possibility that the two sides will meet in the Western Conference semifinals.

Considering the upcoming schedule, the assistant coach said confidently:

"Nearly two months of preparation time, this year we have a chance to win the championship again!"

Coach De Nagro nodded without making a sound, but the smile at the corner of his mouth showed that he was in a good mood:
"Five consecutive championships? That's a great achievement!"

After the All-Star Game, the Clippers immediately ushered in back-to-back games.

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

Fortunately, after returning home on the 27th, the Clippers beat the Hornets 96:114, quickly ending their two-game losing streak.

The February schedule is all over, with 2 wins and 52 losses, the Clippers still lead the league.

On February 2, during the Warriors' away game against the Wizards, Durant's left knee was accidentally injured by teammate Slag Pachulia, resulting in a sprained left knee medial collateral ligament and a bruised tibia.
At 108:112, the Warriors finally lost the game, with a record of 50 wins and 10 losses, continuing to rank No.2.

The sudden injury frightened the Warriors' management. There was a situation at the end of the season, and team managers Miles and Steve Kerr were very nervous.

Fortunately, after the diagnosis, there is no structural damage, and there should be no major problems in returning from injury in early April.

It's not just the Warriors who are injured, they are about to enter the playoffs, and Chris Paul of the Rockets is also out of the chain.
In the game against the Trail Blazers, the left thumb ligament was torn and required surgery. The Rockets officially announced that Paul would miss the rest of the regular season.

Seeing that only the Clippers and Spurs are still healthy in the upper half of the Western Conference, the Clippers fans couldn't hold back anymore. They shouted confidently on social media:

"Clippers Championship!"

Li Ze thought that Paul George, an unlucky guy, 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 ghost pepper state, Paul George's body was very hard!
The coaching staff of the Clippers are laughing from ear to ear, God is helping the Clippers!
On March 3, the NBA announced the Player of the Month for February:
LeBron James of the Eastern Conference and Russell Westbrook of the Western Conference won again.

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

雷霆队2月份7胜4负,龟龟场均出场34.9分钟,场均拿到33.4分11.0篮板10.0助攻1.8抢断0.4盖帽5.9失误;

He averaged 24.8 shots per game, shooting 43.2% from the field, 7.0 shots from beyond the three-point line, 37.7% from three-pointers, 10.5 free throws per game, and 87.9% from free throws.

Although the efficiency is average, the average triple-double data of 30+ per game makes the Oklahoma City fans excited. This is their superstar!

Amika's sports media did not feel too much surprise. Compared with Li Ze's efficient average of 40+ triple-doubles last season, Turtle is not enough to watch.

It's just that thinking about Li Ze's current state of fishing and the Clippers' first record in the league, many critics are a little depressed, and many people even want to directly shout:
"Let Kayce brush up the data! The performance of the current players in the league is really boring"

No. 1 on the MVP candidate list, no matter how America's sports media evaluates it, Turtle has already started to make a big splash!

In the first week of March, the Clippers defeated the Rockets, Bucks, and Bulls one after another, with a stable score of 3+, and the thickness of the lineup made people feel desperate.

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

After Griffin appeared on the court, the Clippers fans sent enthusiastic cheers for the former Big Three.

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

The surface brother's eyes were sour. Although he lay down as soon as the playoffs came, those three years were definitely the best memories of his career!
The game that night lasted more than 5 minutes. The unlucky Griffin felt discomfort in his right knee, and he never returned to the game after leaving the field.

The beaten Thomas Jr. was no longer swollen. 98:116, the Celtics lost the game cleanly.

Li Ze didn't see his superficial brother after the game, but after returning home, he saw the news announced by the Celtics:
Blake Griffin is expected to miss the remainder of the regular season with a broken bone in his right knee that requires arthroscopic surgery.
When Li Ze thought of the injuries of Paul and Griffin, he felt a little weird:
"The body is too brittle, is it really just pulling the hips in the playoffs?"

With successive injuries, the Clippers coaching staff simply increased the playing time of the substitute lineup and fully started the multiplayer rotation mode.

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

In individual games, Denagro, who is in the state of trusteeship, does not even need to arrange any tactics, and does not need to make any adjustments during the game. Everyone is brave and crushed all the way!
On March 3th, Amelia's sports media were looking forward to the rematch between the Cavaliers and the Clippers. As a result, LeBron James had a tense back muscle and had a rest that night.
Coupled with Kyrie Irving's left knee discomfort, all the Big Three are gone!

From a rational point of view, everyone can understand the choice made by the Cavaliers, not playing back-to-back games, reducing the consumption of star players, and fully preparing for the playoffs.

But a national live broadcast made the Clippers sing a one-man show, and the fans in front of the TV and the fans who bought tickets felt a blood loss.

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 whether he would take a rest this month, Li Ze generously replied:

"If we can maintain a complete victory in the March game, there is a high probability that I will not play in the final back-to-back game in April!"

"I have played a lot of games over the years, and I feel a little tired physically. For the playoffs, I need to keep my body in top condition."

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

Li Ze has played too many high-intensity games for so many years, and he has not suffered any injuries so far. He has already made football critics shout "man of steel".

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 watch the stars. He does not want to disappoint the fans who support him.

At the end of March, the Clippers scored 3+ points in several consecutive games.

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

On the night of the 30th, they challenged the Suns in an away game. At 136:98, the Clippers ended their March schedule and finally achieved a record of 3 wins and 18 losses!

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

In April, the Clippers played a total of 4 games. Except for a back-to-back game between the Spurs and the Rockets, the Lakers, Mavericks, and Kings all gave away their records for nothing.

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

In contrast, the Spurs and the Rockets are still competing for the top half of the ranking. Popovich doesn't want to drop to fourth place at all. He is fed up with the Clippers!

It was the unanimous decision of the coaching staff to keep the third place and meet the Warriors in the Western Conference semifinals.

In the two back-to-back games starting on April 4, the Clippers rested Li Ze, Paul George, Eric Gordon, and Jokic.

Unbiased, back-to-back games sent two warm games in a row, keeping the rankings of the Spurs and Rockets unchanged.

On April 4th, the Staples Arena was packed, and fans came to witness the birth of the best record in history!

The main players had already led by 20 points in the first half of the game, and finally everyone clocked in three quarters.

At 95:117, the Clippers successfully defeated the Kings, setting their record this season at 74 wins and 8 losses!
The final buzz sounded, and the Staples Center has become a sea of ​​joy, with ribbons flying over the arena.

Steve Ballmer even rushed to the Clippers bench for the first time, cheering and celebrating with everyone.

Paul George kept punching the audience and yelling to vent his excitement.

Ralph Lawler, a senior home commentator for the Clippers, also grinned, and then shouted happily:
"Ladies and gentlemen! Tonight we witnessed the birth of the best record together! I love Kayce, he is the god of the Clippers!"

Li Ze just raised his hands with a smile on his face, walked around the field, and kept high-fiving to the fans.

Such a result is a matter of course. This lineup perfectly fits the current mainstream style of play.

"MVP! MVP! MVP!"

Excited Clippers fans began to spontaneously shout for MVP again. Li Ze smiled and patted his chest to express that he received it. At this time, he suddenly thought of the playoff ranking:
"Warriors and Spurs, a fateful matchup"
