After learning that the opponent in the second round of the playoffs was the Clippers, Qin Yan was half happy and half helpless.

Happily, the Clippers are much easier to play than the Grizzlies, and the Clippers hastily solved the Grizzlies, and now they don't have enough time to rest, and if they play the Spurs again, the Clippers will definitely not be in a good state.

Unfortunately, the Clippers are also in Los Angeles, and it still uses the same arena as the Lakers, the Staples Center! The Spurs just retired from Los Angeles not long ago, but before this momentum has passed, they have to return to this familiar city and familiar stadium, and the Spurs all feel helpless.

After beating the Lakers and the Clippers, Qin Yan silently searched in his mind, it seems that Nash's Suns had also done it, and the Suns of that year reversed the Lakers in three games in a row after falling behind 3:1 in the first round!

The Suns of that year forcibly cut off the possibility of the Los Angeles two heroes meeting in the playoffs!

Moreover, when the Suns faced the Clippers in the second round, they didn't have any emotion at all, and they played seven more games! Then he killed the Clippers and beat the Los Angeles team in the playoffs in one season, and they were all 4:3 doubles! Then head high and score the Western Finals!

That year, probably the closest the Suns came to a championship!

But it's a pity that the opponent of the Suns in the West that year was the Mavericks, who also killed the Spurs in 7 games!

Then, it may be that too much physical strength and energy were consumed by this copy of Los Angeles, and the Suns did not perform well in the Western Finals, 4:2! Blocked by the Mavericks from the finals!

However, the Mavericks were not lucky that year, they met Wade and his Heat, also a 4:2, and the Mavericks achieved Wade's first championship!

So, when Qin Yan thought about it, he also felt that it might be a bit troublesome for his team to play the Los Angeles copy now.

But after thinking about it, this year's Los Angeles copy seems to be different from the copy played by the Suns that year, at least the Spurs directly killed the Lakers 4:0 in the first round, and the Spurs also had the idea of a 4:0 sweep in the second round against the Clippers.

It seems that if you look at it this way, this year's Los Angeles copy is at the easy level, so the Spurs are still cheap.

Popovich and the coaching staff have been discussing the tactics of playing the Clippers since they knew that the opponent was the Clippers yesterday, Qin Yan felt that there was such a powerful coach, there was no need for him to worry about tactics or anything, just listen to the coach's command.

The other players of the Spurs also knew that the opponent was the Clippers, and it was not surprising that they were quite disappointed, of course, not disappointed to play the Clippers, but disappointed to play away or go to Los Angeles......

In fact, they treat playing away games as free travel, and it feels a bit boring to go to a place for a long time......

On the Clippers' side, when they learned that the opponent was the Spurs, they also felt quite depressed.

If the Lakers can advance, then it will be a great thing for the Clippers, because the home and away games are together, and they don't have to run, just sleep at home and walk to the arena.

Not only them, but fans in Los Angeles also hope that one day these two teams can meet in the playoffs, so that they don't have to run to watch the playoffs, they can just go directly to their homes, and they don't need to buy special tickets, just take any team's package tickets.

It's a pity that this dream was destroyed by the Suns last time, and this time it was ended by the Spurs.

Another reason why Clippers players don't like the Spurs is that the Spurs are notoriously difficult to play, are a standard playoff team, and with the current configuration of the Clippers, playing the Spurs is still more or less difficult.

But there is no way now, after all, the Spurs advanced early, and the Clippers do not have the right to choose an opponent.

Los Angeles, Staples.

"Chris, the next opponent is Spurs, what do you think?" Little Jordan was sweating profusely while training while asking his boss.

"What do you think? They're definitely tougher than the Grizzlies, and we'll have to work harder if we want to win! Paul, who is only 183 tall, pedals the exercise bike hard, his eyes are burning with endless fighting spirit, since he came to Los Angeles, Paul has been holding his breath, he wants to make Los Angeles people think of Los Angeles again, not only the Los Angeles Lakers and Kobe, but also the Los Angeles Clippers and him Paul.

Of course, another reason why Paul is desperate is that he wants to touch the floor of the West Duel!

Paul didn't touch the floor of the West Finals when he was at the Hornets, and now in Los Angeles, he hopes to use the power of the metropolis to help him achieve that dream.

Of course, the pressure on the Clippers this year is high because they are facing the Spurs in the second round, not any other team.

Although, in the regular season, Paul made Qin Yan taste the first defeat of his career with a wonderful stunner! But the Spurs and Clippers were only 2:2 in the regular season, and Paul did not lead the team to suppress the Spurs, not to mention that they had also watched the game between the Spurs and the Lakers, and they had a deep understanding of the Spurs' strong combat effectiveness.

Otherwise, Paul wouldn't have pulled Jordan Jr. out to practice now!

At least Paul's bottom line requires one, and that is Jordan Jr., who can't lose to the Spurs' Whiteside!

Of course, I privately think that this season's little Jordan is really not as good as Whiteside, after all, Whiteside has now been transformed by the Spurs' big brothers, and Jordan Jr. is still the rough brother in the original historical trajectory......

In fact, many people think that the Spurs are more suitable for Paul, according to Paul's age, he can go to the Spurs to replace Parker perfectly, and in the Spurs, Paul not only has the opportunity to touch the floor of the Western Conference finals, but also has many opportunities to touch the floor of the Finals......

However, Paul didn't choose San Antonio back then, probably because the San Antonio ball market is too small, and now Parker is still at his peak, Paul can't play as a substitute, right?

"Chris, can we really beat the Spurs?" Now Little Jordan is still relatively simple, after all, he has not yet become the "best center" later, and he is still a simple young man who eats with Paul, so he is far from being domineering later, and he is still relatively low-key and cautious.

"As long as we have faith, we will definitely be able to defeat them!" Paul is still full of confidence now, after all, he is not the older young man who has not been able to realize his dream of the West Finals for many years in a row, and Paul at this time is still very confident as the league's No. 1 point guard!

……

San Antonio.

"Greg, are you sure you want to fight like this with your new tactics?" The assistant coach, who finished discussing tactics, asked Popovich.

"It's okay, just exercise it, anyway, the Clippers can't roll too big waves." Popovich is also quite confident after watching the game between the Clippers and the Grizzlies, at this level, there is really no possibility of capsizing in the gutter......

It seems that for Popovich, this year's copy of Los Angeles is not difficult......
