Chapter 542: The Great Heat Must Die?

Fast forward to June 4, and the Celtics team has come to Los Angeles ahead of schedule and rented the Sparks' home stadium for training. ¢£Top¢£Dot¢£Small¢£ Say,www.

They will not rent the Lakers' training ground, and now on the list of the Lakers' number one enemy, the Celtics still firmly occupy the first position, and the Clippers have just surpassed the Spurs to become the Lakers' second enemy, and it is difficult to surpass the Celtics in the short term.

If Lakers fans have to choose a team to support between the Clippers and the Celtics, then they will definitely choose the Clippers, after all, their enemies have been the Celtics and the Spurs for decades, and the Clippers, the sworn enemy in the same city, is more like their own little brother, and there is no gunpowder on both sides.

In the past two years, the Clippers have sprung up, and the two teams have rapidly evolved their sworn enemies in the same city because of competition.

But when compared to the grudges that the Celtics have accumulated over the past three decades of non-stop competition with the Lakers, it is far from it, and it is the Green Shirts that Lakers fans will hate the most.

Rivers was interviewed that day and said, "We came here with one goal, and that was to win. Speaking of which, Rivers made a joke: "In Boston, when people talk about success, they always talk about how many championship rings you have, and none of my players have that at the moment, so we're going to do our best to win in any situation." The ring is the measure of a Celtic player's success, and we are a team with a championship factor, so without a championship, you are not a qualified Celtic player and cannot be recognized by the city. ”

Media reporters were surprised to hear Rivers say this, is this a radical method? Say that to your players. Wouldn't it be too much?

Garnett in an interview. I'm still using ice packs to ice my knees. The intensity of the playoffs has made Garnett particularly fond of his knees, and he has done the same thing with Ray. Alan.

The physical condition of these two has declined compared to last year, which is the reason why everyone is not optimistic about them, after all, with the defeat of the Spurs in front, Duncan was eliminated by the Clippers in such a good state, the Celtics are older than the Spurs, can they beat the Clippers?

"We don't think about whether we can win or not. It's about how to win, how to do our best to fight, and we have to show our best side. ”

Garnett's confidence does not seem to be as sufficient as last year, and the fighting spirit of the Wolf King naturally does not need to be doubted, such a change can only show that the Clippers' strength is too strong, perhaps as the media said, unless the three superstars of the 03 generation are gathered, they can beat the Clippers as an aircraft carrier.

On the same day, former Rockets coach Van Gundy believes the Clippers can win Game 6 or 7 over the Celtics. And believes that the animal fraternity will create a three-peating dynasty by 2010, citing the fact that Generation 03 will not become free agents until 2010. Until then, the snobbery in the league won't change much, and it's hard for any team to beat the Clippers.

"The Clippers will definitely beat the Celtics this year, who are also very good, they have the best offense, they have honed their defense in the playoffs with the Spurs, and they now have twin brothers who are getting better and better, and I believe that the animal brothers can win the championship, and the two of them are also the strongest contenders for the MVP of the Finals, it is a great matchup, and this series is definitely very compelling."

Fans and NBA columnists alike have their own opinions, but one voice has always prevailed, and that is that the Clippers will lift the Gold Cup in the Finals, and they will be aiming for a third straight championship.

A U.S. sports website has set up a prediction poll for the finals, and about 130,000 fans have voted so far. According to the poll, 62 percent of fans believe the Clippers will be the eventual champions, while the Celtics have 38 percent support.

The columnists' opinions are not different from the mainstream voices of fans, except that the percentage of experts who favor the Clippers is even higher, at 90%.

The site lists a total of 10 NBA columnists' predictions, and the results show that except for one who believes that the Celtics have a championship appearance, the other nine are unanimously optimistic about the Clippers. Of the nine experts, two believe that the Clippers will not win the cup until Game 7, five believe that the Finals will end in Game 6, and the other two believe that the Clippers will win the championship with a score of 4-1.

The only expert who is optimistic about the Celtics believes that the Green Army's road to victory will be very difficult, requiring all seven games of the series to win the Clippers on the road.

Finally, there are the bookmakers, who are equally optimistic about the Clippers winning the championship, with odds of 1.1 to 1, and there is nothing to make by buying the Clippers to win.

But if you buy Celtic to win the championship, you can get odds of 2.5 to 1, but the odds of jumping off a building are higher.

The Clippers had a better regular season record than the Celtics, so they have a four-game home-court advantage in the best-of-seven series, with the first game between the two teams taking place at Staples Arena.

Experts are optimistic about the Clippers for a variety of reasons, but fans think very simply, since even the Spurs can't beat the Clippers, the Celtics, who are no better than the Spurs, are naturally not the opponents of the Clippers.

"Los Angeles Times" reported that Los Angeles and Boston may be the cities that meet the most in the Finals, before that, the Celtics and Lakers met in the Finals 11 times, and now the Clippers and the Celtics meet in the Finals for two consecutive years, this is the 13th Finals confrontation between the two cities, and the ratings will not be less.

Before the first game, everyone was full of excitement, the players from both teams were full of talent and competition, and it was destined to be a great grand final.

In the two meetings this season, the Clippers have a record of one win and one loss, and in the two games, the Clippers have been lacking in execution, but in the playoffs, the Celtics stumbled, and the Clippers have greatly improved their execution on the court in the six games against the Spurs, each team has its own Big Three combination, and there are also excellent fourth and even fifth men.

The Celtics have Kevin. Garnett, Ray. Aaron, Paul. Pierce, Rajan. Rondo, Al. Thornton.

The Clippers have animal brothers, Billups, Crawford.

The two teams have reached the finals for the second year in a row, which is also a topic that can be hyped up.

Rajan. Rondo recalls last year's Grand Final. "It was my rookie season. It is also the time when I feel the most sense of failure in my life. I don't want to repeat that feeling again. ”

On June 4, the day before the start of the Finals, ESPN ranked the playoff player table as follows:

1. Ji Guoqiu, Los Angeles Clippers.

The reason why Brother Panda is ranked first is very simple, because he is the player with the best personal number of all the stars in the playoffs. What's more, the Clippers are now the biggest favorites for the championship, and Ji Guoqiu, the regular season MVP, ranks first, which is very reasonable and normal.

2. Tim. Duncan, San Antonio Spurs.

Although Duncan shot just 49 percent from the field, he still averaged 12.8 rebounds per game, and he beat the Pandas' table in Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals, which made him proudly move up to second place.

3. Ji Guoqiu, Los Angeles Clippers.

Needless to say, this position was originally Duncan's, but the fox brother's table in the playoffs was not as stable as the elder brother. He has had a few games where he has scored less than 20 points, but he has also scored 40+ in a few games. Therefore, if the fox brother wants to return to second place, he must have a more stable performance in the finals.

4. Kobe. Bryan, Los Angeles Lakers

Kobe's performance in the playoffs is not questionable, this guy has an improved shooting percentage in the playoffs than in the regular season, so the boss is hanging.

5. Chris. Paul, New Orleans Hornets

Paul was extremely efficient, but the Hornets lost to the Lakers in six games, and Paul's 5.66 assists and turnovers are hard to replicate in the playoffs, even if he set an embarrassing record of 12,580 in the playoffs.

6. Kevin. Garnett, Boston Celtics.

Garnett is still the offensive and defensive core of the Green Shirts this season, and can be said to be the true giant of the Big Three, averaging 19.9 points and 11.5 rebounds per game is not as good as last season, but his use in the team is really not fully measured by numbers.

7. LeBron. James, New York Knicks

James should not be in this position, but the person who wrote this article is Zhan Hecomi, so it is reasonable and normal for gorillas to be in this position.

8. Tony. Parker, San Antonio Spurs

Parker is more of a superstar in the playoffs than a superstar, and there are two point guards in the NBA who are bound to explode in the playoffs, and these two are the Spurs' French sports car and the Clippers' key man.

9. Paul. Pierce, Celtic

In all of the Celtics' playoff games this season, the truth has only scored in single digits, and the steady dìng is efficient and has a big mouth, and the leather team is cute and hateful.

10. Rajan. Rondo, Celtic

Rondo seems a little unreasonable here, but before saying that, let's take a look at the number of playoff triple-doubles second only to Panda's brother, who averages 10.8 assists per game as a center guest point guard, and if he improves his ability to shoot in the open space and throw those tried and tested shots into a few, it will be a real All-Star.

Before June 5th, all kinds of media took out their skills to build momentum for the finals, thanks to their blessings, and this kind of news bombardment finally made fans pay attention to this year's finals.

However, the Clippers have a slight advantage, which makes it difficult for the Finals ratings to reach last year's level, and if the Clippers' opponents are replaced by a combination of James, Wade, and Stoudemire, the ratings will increase by at least 50%.

Taylor. Swift is also paying attention to the upcoming finals, the little singer's chest is temporarily stable, although it is not possible to ride the little fox, but it is no problem to be ridden by the little fox, so in the first game of the finals, as Ji Guoyi's girlfriend, of course he has to be there to watch.

"Is that little British slut going to watch the game tomorrow?"

Taylor. Swift lay on the bed and slapped the big hand off his chest.

"Which little slut?"

Ji Guozhi pretended to be stupid like this, to be honest, he was already a little underwhelmed.

"You don't have garlic!"

"It's not pretending to be garlic, people are going to watch live games, can we still not let people go? Is there still human rights? ”

"Damn, I don't know why now, I want to punch you in the nose."

"If you dare, then I'll k your boobs."

- The above is the daily life of a fox and a singer. (To be continued......) R527
