Chapter 1941 You Guys Are Really Too Young

God made a choice between his old club and his rival in the same city. In the last 3 minutes of Game 7 between the Clippers and the Grizzlies, the Clippers suddenly emerged. Paul's key steals and precise free throws brought the Clippers to the second round of the playoffs historically. !

In its first season as a team, the Clippers achieved a new breakthrough in playoff history. This is the first time the Clippers have reached the conference semifinals since the team was founded!

Even the well-known stingy boss of the Clippers excitedly said after the game that this was a historic moment and said that he would give the players bonuses of US$5 million.

This scene is simply unbelievable to the fans. After all, Sterling is definitely the kind of iron cock who never pulls a dime. When has he been so generous in so many years? Even if he is making history, he will not directly give 5 million knives. This is a huge sum of money. What a money!

But looking at the Clippers' next opponents, many fans said it was understandable that Sterling's move should be an early motivation. After all, it will be a duel that no boss like Sterling is willing to lose.

Los Angeles Lakers vs. Los Angeles Clippers!

The Los Angeles duo met in the playoffs for the first time in history!

Since the Clippers moved to Los Angeles in 1984, they have been unable to get rid of their identity as a weak team. The best record since the team was founded is the conference semifinals. Well, they just did it.

In the 60 years since moving to Los Angeles in 1960, the Purple and Gold Army has achieved dazzling achievements. The history of the team has also given birth to George Mikan, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Shark O'Neal and Black Mamba Kobe, Asia's genius magician. Ji Feng and other NBA superstars, 18 championship flags are the best gift the Lakers gave to Staples.

The Lakers and Clippers have shared Staples Center since 1999. In the 13 years that the Lakers and Clippers shared Staples, they reached the playoffs four times. They were in 1993, 1994, 1997, and 2006, but the two teams have never met in the playoffs.

The topic of "Who deserves to own Los Angeles?" has never stopped. The Lakers, who have the initiative in the arena, have achieved brilliant achievements in this arena. Lakers legend O'Neal once said: "Even if you are the home court of the Clippers, you cannot cover the Lakers' championship flag, because you are just a tenant and this place belongs to the Lakers." It is no wonder that the Clippers have been motivated to build a new arena for so many years. The topic never stopped. Having such a neighbor is really a headache. The most important thing is that O'Neal's words left Clippers players and fans with no point of refutation.

This is the most uncomfortable thing.

Not refuting does not mean that they don't care. After trading for Paul and acquiring Griffin in the draft, they finally have the capital to compete with the Lakers. They have been waiting for an opportunity, which is to defeat the Lakers in the playoffs and prove that they We also have the strength to own this arena.

Finally, the two teams this season will have the opportunity to talk directly.

And the Lakers will naturally not be hypocritical. To be honest, although they have the upper hand in the rhetoric between the two teams over the years, the Lakers have long been disgusted by the Clippers' comments after the poor became rich this season, so there is nothing If it can't be solved with one blast of hammer, then two!

So for the Lakers, this is also a series that does not require mobilization!

On the 13th, the Lakers took the lead in attacking. Ji Feng was interviewed on a well-known podcast program that day, talking about the problems encountered by the Clippers in the playoffs.

Ji Feng said that the Clippers should not expect to meet the Lakers in the playoffs because the Lakers will have 7 home games in the series.

"If the Lakers and Clippers meet in the playoffs, it will be seven away games for the Clippers." Ji Feng said, "Staples is the Lakers' arena. Even if they play home games at Staples And changing the color of the floor and everything else, believe me, this series is seven home games for the Lakers."

The answer that hit the soul. After this show was released, the Clippers players were so angry that they gritted their teeth. Chris Paul couldn't help it at first. He said: "Ji Feng's remarks will not appear. I believe our fans will make the scene become A sea of ​​white!”

Griffin even called on Clippers fans to go to the scene to support them: "Believe me, your tickets will not be in vain. Seriously, is there anything more satisfying than eliminating the Lakers here?"

Ji Feng doesn't know whether Griffin will be happy, but Ji Feng is indeed very happy. Meeting the Clippers is really the most exciting thing in the playoffs.

This means that the Lakers do not need to travel back and forth, they only need to stay in Los Angeles to complete all games. This is definitely a great thing for every Lakers player. It also means that the Lakers will have unimaginable home court advantage and physical strength. Advantage.

Not only Ji Feng, but all the Lakers players smiled after learning that the Clippers eliminated the Grizzlies.

Seriously, they'd rather meet the Clippers than the Grizzlies.

Compared with the Grizzlies, who are good at defense, the Clippers, who prefer to attack, are undoubtedly more in line with the Lakers' appetite, not to mention how wonderful it is to not have to travel back and forth between home and away games!

"Come on, I can't wait!" Ji Feng said on social networking sites on the 14th.

The fans are also looking forward to it. They also want to see what kind of sparks this topic will create when the stars fly together.

Before the game, the Cavaliers had many experts analyze this round of games. Most of the analysis results still believe that the Lakers have the advantage, but the Clippers are not without the ability to fight. After all, their paper strength is passable. The only problem is that besides Except for Paul, no one has playoff experience, and Billups, the most experienced guy, has already been retired for the season due to a torn knee ligament in March, so this will be a hidden danger, but their back line is still Xiao Mo can step in.

However, things are not as everyone thought. The impact of Billups' absence is more serious than imagined!

On May 15th, the second round of the playoffs finally kicked off. The first game was a matchup in the Eastern Conference. The four teams in the Eastern Conference that advanced to the semifinals were the Heat, Celtics, and Pacers. High-draft teams and the 76ers!

The Philadelphia 76ers unexpectedly defeated the Bulls, who ranked first in the Eastern Conference, and entered the second round. The reason for defeating the Bulls was because in the first game, Rose broke his ligament in another attack. Zeng Ji Feng's prediction finally came true. , Rose withered before it bloomed.

So the 76ers got an incredible bargain. After Rose was injured, the Bulls only resisted for 6 games and were eliminated 2-4, so the 76ers were able to meet the Celtics in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

However, their journey ended here. In the first game, the Green Army beat 108-76 by 32 points, proving that the 76ers were really lucky to win.

And the second game between the Lakers and the Clippers at home has finally begun!

The starting lineup of both sides remained the same as in the regular season, and the jump ball was the same. Jordan got the ball and the Lakers defended.

In the first attack, the Clippers wanted Griffin and Paul to complete the pick-and-roll. However, in the middle of the pick-and-roll, Ji Feng directly doubled up and cut off Griffin's ball. He scored first with a fast break!

"You guys are really too young!"
