One Guard

"I also played three games with us this season and lost all three games. If we can meet him in the playoffs, I think it should be a good opportunity for us!" On April 22, Kr. Reese Paul led the Los Angeles Clippers to defeat his old club Hornets. After the game, the Clippers scored 39 wins and 26 losses, confirming the sixth place in the Western Conference. This also means that the Los Angeles Clippers will return to the playoffs after five years! And their opponent in the playoffs is the defending champion Dallas Mavericks!

Reporters asked Griffin how it would feel if he met the Mavericks again in the playoffs. Thus, Griffin said the above paragraph.

Indeed, during the regular season of this season, the Clippers are the only opponent the Mavericks have not won. Originally, there was some connection between Griffin and Yiyang. Now the two teams have such a relationship. Therefore, the matchup between the Mavericks and the Clippers in the playoffs is the most anticipated matchup for fans in the first round. .

At this time, the war in the regular season has not ended, but the hearts of the Clippers and Mavericks fans have fallen into the playoffs.

Although Billups was reimbursed for the season due to a torn ankle in February, the Clippers are still strong. After Billups was injured, the Clippers second-year guard Bledsoe's performance was also remarkable. For the Mavericks, the Clippers may be the worst opponent of the bottom four teams.

As always, although the Mavericks rank better in the regular season. But most media think that the chances of the Mavericks' failure will be greater!

"I don't mind being a lamb to be slaughtered, but I hope that the people who are going to cut us will sharpen the knife in their hands first, so as not to break their own knife." Carlisle did not show in the interview with reporters The slightest worry and worry, even if his team has not won the Clippers with Paul in the regular season.

Although that is the case, since the Clippers established the sixth position in the Western Conference, the academic coach's brow has never been stretched.

Originally, Chris Paul wanted to join the Los Angeles Lakers last summer, but because the league rejected the deal, Paul could only choose to go to another team in Los Angeles. And this transaction also "indirectly" caused Odom to run to Dallas.

Paul joining the Clippers undoubtedly added a very powerful competitor to the already strong team in the West. Although the Clippers' record this season is only sixth in the Western Conference, if it were not for injury, their ranking would never be so.

Paul is the kind of point guard who can make his teammates better. Look at DeAndre Jordan's blue-collar center's flyby this season, you can know how a good point guard is for a team. important.

Although Griffin is the loudest clamor among all Clippers players, Carlisle knows very well that what the Clippers are really difficult to deal with is precisely Paul, who says nothing!

For Cuban, meeting the Clippers in the playoffs is good news. Everyone wants to watch the Mavericks play against the Clippers, and this series of games is very popular in the market. This also means that a lot of money will be rolled into Cuban's account.

But for Carlisle, nothing is worse than meeting Paul in advance. It's not that Carlisle has no confidence in Yiyang, but if he can, it would be better to meet other opponents.

In the following days of the regular season, the Clippers and Mavericks defeated all their opponents. On April 26, the Mavericks beat their last regular season opponent, the Eagles, 106 to 89, and finally ranked third in the Western Conference with a score of 46 wins and 20 losses.

It is worth mentioning that the Mavericks are only one game away from the second-largest Thunder in the West.

The final record of the Los Angeles Clippers is 40 wins and 26 losses, and there is still a gap between the Mavericks.

Since this season is a shrinking season, every step seems to be very impatient. Originally, there would be two to three days of rest between the regular season and the playoffs, but this year, after the Mavericks defeated the Hawks, they can only rest for one day, and they must invest in the playoffs!

Cuban and Carlisle are very clear that with the strength of the Mavericks this year, the probability that they can successfully defend the title is not high. But in any case, the first round of this hurdle must be passed!

The defending champion was eliminated in the first round, wouldn't it be a joke? ?

So in recent days, Yiyang didn't spend much time at home, and didn't have much contact with Vignali, who had already ended the season. The busiest moment of the season came again. Yiyang still got up at 6:30 on the day after the regular season ended and rushed to the training hall early. The seamless connection between the regular season and the playoffs makes it impossible for everyone to stop what they are doing.

It's not just NBA players who don't get a rest, but also the three tricks of TNT TV, Barkley, O'Neal and Kenny Smith.

Do a special program before the playoffs every year. This is a "reserved program" of TNT TV station.

This year, although time is tight, everyone still worked overtime to make the show. What is different from last year is that this year, the Dallas Mavericks are among the most watched teams in the first round of the game!

"The No. 1 Spurs in the West vs. Jazz, there is no suspense. Thunder vs. Nuggets? There is not much unknown. The Lakers vs. Grizzlies, um...it's kind of interesting, but it's hard to be surprised. So, the Western Conference season. The most suspenseful set of duels in the first round of the playoffs was the Clippers and the Mavericks!" O'Neal faced the camera and skipped the other teams, bringing the topic to the Mavericks and the Clippers first.

"The most special thing between the two teams is that the Mavericks were blocked by the Clippers during the regular season! The two teams met three times, and the Mavericks lost three times. Among the higher-ranked teams, this is the situation. It's not very common indeed." Kenny Smith also continued O'Neill's remarks.

But when Barkley was here, he wasn't happy.

"It seems that the last time you wore a wig didn't make you remember Shaq, what kind of show are we?" Barkley asked O'Neal a question back.

"Of course it's a basketball show!"

"It's an NBA playoffs-themed basketball show! And you guys are still discussing the **** regular season! God, the playoffs will begin tomorrow, and fans want to hear our insights on the playoffs. The result. , You tell me how about the regular season~www.novelmtl.com~Please, this is your first year as a basketball commentator, maybe you have no experience. All my reminders remind you that now, we should talk about the season Things related to the playoffs!" Barkley stunned mercilessly. Seeing this, Carlisle turned off the TV. These two fat guys, they should have said something, and they were sensationalizing there.

After turning off the TV, Carlisle faced the players in the locker room. To be honest, although he has never beaten the Clippers in the regular season, he still has confidence at this time.

In the playoffs, the Mavericks will not make mistakes again!

"Well, I ran into a difficult opponent in the first round. Did your heart beat faster?" Carlisle deliberately left everyone in the locker room to watch the show tonight, in fact, to boost morale! Tomorrow, the playoffs will begin as soon as they say it starts. Everyone must quickly adjust their mentality and face the game in the best state!

"My heartbeat speeds up, but it's not because of nervousness, I am excited, I am looking forward to this game!" Terry replied eagerly and got everyone's approval.

"The Clippers are not a strong team in the traditional sense, but they seem to have regarded themselves as the giants of the Western Conference. Last year, we swept the Los Angeles Lakers out of the playoffs. This year, we let the Kuaishou have not made the playoffs in five years. Let’s take a look at the team, what the fiercest battle looks like! The Los Angeles team has never tasted the sweetness here!" Carlisle clapped his hands, and the eyes of the players became fierce. Especially Yiyang, that guy seemed to have turned into a cold-blooded Hannibal Lecter in an instant. His interest is to destroy opponents!

Seeing the players' reactions, the academy coach smiled with satisfaction. Blake Griffin, have you ever felt the real anger?
