Chapter 365: After Promotion
Time flies.
The two days passed quickly, and Qin Yan also concentrated on preparing for the game after dealing with the matter of Xiaopo's movie.
Although the Spurs have learned the news and confirmed that Paul will not participate in the game, after all, it is the last game of the Clippers, and no one can say whether the Clippers will suddenly break out, so the Spurs still can't take it lightly.
Before the fourth game, the Spurs team was fully focused on preparing for the game, and the whole team made the best preparations for the possible tactics of the Clippers, hoping to end the battle in the fourth game and then go to the Western Conference showdown with the Thunder......
But when the fourth game began, when the whole Spurs saw the opposite lineup, they were dumbfounded, Clippers, what are the Clippers doing? Auto-abandonment?
I saw that the lineup on the Clippers' side, not only Paul was not there, but even Griffin was gone.
It's all about giving up the rhythm of the game! Even Griffin is gone, so what's the point of fighting?
I really didn't expect the Clippers to be so extreme, Qin Yan only felt that the Staples fans were stupid this night, first they were speechless, and then they were all angry in an instant, and they turned against each other one after another, shouting the names of the Spurs players.
Staples's collective defection is rare, even in the city's glorious history.
The Clippers naturally lost in the end, Griffin never appeared from beginning to end, Paul was still wearing a suit on the bench, and Griffin didn't even see a figure.
Qin Yan estimated that Griffin would be sprayed to death by the Clippers fans, and his absence in this crucial game was simply an unforgivable sin.
But now there is no way, Paul and Griffin are not there, and the Clippers can only retreat, and this retreat directly completes the Clippers' 4-0 loss to the Spurs.
And the Clippers 4:0, which means that Los Angeles has completely fallen, and after the Lakers, the Clippers have also been swept, swept twice in a row, and Los Angeles has lost all face.
This season's Los Angeles, the playoffs are really unlucky.
And San Antonio, this season has become the biggest sufferer in Los Angeles, can make the Los Angeles duo fall into bad luck, which is not something that ordinary cities can do, the most recent is that the Phoenix Suns have killed the Lakers and Clippers under the leadership of Nash, but they were all killed 4:3 at the beginning, and there is still a big difference between being swept this year.
After sweeping the Los Angeles Doubles, the San Antonio Spurs became the least popular team in Los Angeles, and the San Antonio players became one of the least favorite among Los Angeles fans. Qin Yan estimates that he can't go on the streets of Los Angeles recently, and if he does, he will probably be killed by angry Los Angeles fans.
After the 4:0 sweep, the Spurs took the lead in advancing and reached the Western Conference finals again!
And their opponent in the Western Conference Finals is still in the middle of a fierce battle.
Maybe it's because of the Youth Army, the Thunder and the Warriors are fighting fiercely, and they have already played four games on their side, and the two sides have played 2:2, and the score of each game is very tight, and it is indeed a bit surprising to play like this.
After the news of the Spurs' promotion came, the Thunder and Warriors must have been surprised, after all, no one expected the Clippers to be so careless before the game, and they were killed in just four games.
Now the Spurs are easily qualified again, and while waiting for the opponent to qualify, the Spurs can rest for a while.
The biggest problem that the Thunder and Warriors are facing now is that they don't have enough time to rest, because if they can't solve the battle quickly, they will be unlucky, and looking at the posture now, the Thunder and Warriors are going to have a sense of rhythm to grab seven.
Grab seven? Qin Yan looked at the battle report over there and suddenly felt a little gloating, making you usually very good, but now it's miserable, if you fight like this, you don't know when you will be able to qualify.
Oklahoma.
"What? Spurs qualified? "At the Thunder's arena, the Thunder players who returned to their home court after playing away were all surprised.
Especially Westbrook, this guy is now looking more and more like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and he was even more surprised when he heard the news, he really didn't expect the Spurs to enter the Western Conference so soon, after all, he always thought that the Clippers were very powerful, and he never thought that the Clippers would fail so quickly.
"How did you win? Even if Chris is not there, isn't the last dignity of Los Angeles on the Clippers? How could it be defeated so quickly? "Durant also feels a little strange, really a little incomprehensible, can the Clippers lose like this??
……
"What? Griffin doesn't play at the end? "After listening to the press officer's report, the people on Thunder's side are stupid, what the hell is this! Griffin doesn't play at the end? Isn't this self-inflicted death?
"yes, I don't know why, Griffin didn't play at the end, I don't know where he went, and the Clippers don't have an official news about it."
"It can only be said that the Clippers don't want to fight, so they admit defeat in advance this year." Coach Brooks thought about it for a while and immediately came to his own conclusions.
"So coach, what are we going to do?" Now that the Thunder and Warriors are tied 2-2 and entangled, the outlook isn't particularly good, Ibaka asked.
"Don't worry about them, it's their business to rest, let's beat us." Coach Brooks is very calm, and the Spurs' unexpected qualification did make the Thunder's Western Conference a little troublesome, but now the Thunder has to do to kill the Warriors to appear.
Coach Brooks really didn't expect that the Warriors would bring such a big problem to his team, their outside three-point ability is very strong, and their three-point shots are more accurate when they are on their home court, in these two games in Oakland, the Warriors relied on perverted accurate three-point shots to kill the Thunder.
Especially the two little guys in the Warriors' backcourt, Curry and Thompson, the future "Splash Brothers" are now beginning to emerge, especially Curry, in the last two games, Curry averaged 30+ per game and averaged 8 three-pointers per game!
It's horrible! Curry is crazy in the playoffs like a normal person, and although Westbrook can score 20+ points himself, he really can't prevent Curry's three-point shot.
If the Thunder can't figure out a way to deal with Curry next, then the Thunder's path to promotion will be in trouble.
If the Thunder can't make the cut, then it's useless to think about anything now.
And on the Oakland side, the Warriors are also analyzing the situation of the Spurs after they are promoted, and in the end, their conclusion is that they should ignore the old guys of the Spurs and deal with the Thunder well, after all, on the Thunder side, the Thunder are not easy to deal with.
Come on, young people, the Spurs are already waiting for you in the West!
