Chapter 565 Lakers VS Clippers!
After returning to the locker room, the Lakers players did not stop for a moment, and opened all the champagne hidden in the cabinet to celebrate.
Davis in suits and ties shared the joy of winning with his teammates.
After these few games, Davis may have changed his mentality the most.
Once, Davis thought that he and James were the core of the future Lakers.
Unexpectedly, under pressure from fans, James left the city and returned to his hometown of Cleveland.
Due to injury, he missed most of the regular season and continued to miss all the games after the Western Conference semifinals.
Despite this, the team was led by Ge Feng and made it all the way to the Western Conference Finals.
Davis vividly remembers how the Lakers' offense stumbled in the two games Ge Feng suffered a sacral contusion, and the Lakers naturally lost both games.
But after Ge Feng returned, he immediately played a single-section performance like a god descending from the earth, defeated the Lone Ranger, and led the Lakers to eliminate the Lone Ranger in the tiebreaker.
Ge Feng is the player who contributed the most to the Lakers.
No one knew what was going on in Davis' mind.
The carnival in the locker room continues...
In the next round of the Western Conference Finals, the Lakers will face the undefeated Los Angeles Clippers in the playoffs.
This year's Western Conference finals are full of highlights.
This is the first time in history that the Lakers and Clippers have met in the playoffs.
As teams in the same city, the Lakers and Clippers have never achieved a balance of strength in the same period of time.
When the Lakers are strong, the Clippers are weak, and when the Clippers are strong, the Lakers are weak.
Finally, in the past two years, the Lakers and Clippers have become stronger at the same time.
As a result, last year, the Clippers were reversed 1-3 by the Nuggets and missed the Western Conference Finals.
The Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and the Clippers has come to naught.
However, in the new season, the Lakers and Clippers finally defeated all powerful enemies and successfully met in the Western Conference Finals.
The same city derby will definitely make fans all over the United States feel crazy.
Compared with the attention paid to the Eastern Conference Finals, the Western Conference Finals are generally considered by fans to be the "real finals."
This is mainly caused by the pattern of strong west and weak east.
Generally, a team that can win in the Western Conference Finals has a nearly 80% probability of winning the final NBA championship.
The battle between the Lakers and the Clippers in the Western Conference Finals must be an unforgettable scene worthy of being recorded in history.
Before the game between the Lakers and the Clippers in the Western Conference Finals, the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals had already begun.
In the semifinals, the Raptors eliminated last year's Eastern Conference champions, the Miami Heat.
The Heat's injury problems are too serious.
Riley's fortune teller has thousands of calculations, and he didn't count that Adebayor and Dragic are both glass-like attributes.
After all, Dragic is over 35 years old. He has countless injuries, big and small. You can't expect that every player will get older and more demon like James.
The Heat want to go further in the playoffs, and it will be a matter of time to trade Dragic.
Adebayor is still young, and his efficiency is one of the highest in the league.
But when Adebayor is on the court, there will always be too many restless actions.
For example, Adebayor likes to head-to-head with his opponents.
Fans can often see that Adebayor uses his shoulders to head-to-head with Howard, who has the strongest shoulders in the league, and even puts his head on Antetokounmpo's chest.
These actions all showed Adebayor's unyielding spirit.
But the consequences of long-term head-to-head confrontation are...
easy to get injured.
Adebayor has suffered such losses many times.
His mentality still needs to mature a bit in order to play a more stable role in the team.
The Heat have only Butler who is as stable as ever.
Players who have been promoted to become superstars all have a common characteristic: that is, their scoring average will skyrocket in a short period of time.
Butler, who has received much attention in the new season, has increased his average to 29 points per game.
The average score of 29 points is 10 points higher than Butler's average in any season.
It can be seen from this that the honor of "super giant" has an obvious bonus to the attributes of an NBA player.
After Leonard became a super giant, his scoring began to skyrocket, and he eventually became a mid-range master, the most unsolvable mid-range attacker in the league.
It is reasonable for the Heat to lose to the Raptors.
Durant, who was eliminated early last season and went home to fish, ushered in an explosion after falling in love.
To be exact, it's not just Durant.
Van Fleet, Siakam, and Gasol all played the best performances of their careers this season.
Siakam has developed quite maturely, and he has the ability to compete for the top five power forwards in the league.
Gasol Jr. wants to fight again at the tail end of his career peak.
The Raptors are in surprisingly good shape this year, so good that they exceeded everyone's expectations.
Therefore, the Raptors eliminated the Heat and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals is a result that most fans can accept.
The game between the 76ers and the Bucks finally ended with Antetokounmpo being eliminated.
Antetokounmpo's strengths and weaknesses are too obvious.
The regular season is as fierce as a tiger, and the statistics of the playoffs have declined in an all-round way, which is the main reason why Antetokounmpo has been criticized for so many years.
After being eliminated this year, Antetokounmpo has not agreed to continue his contract with the Bucks.
No one knows where Antetokounmpo will be in the future.
But most fans feel that Antetokounmpo no longer wants to stay in the Bucks.
The advanced Raptors and 76ers started the Eastern Conference Finals two days before the Lakers.
After the game started, the two teams fell into a hard fight.
Embiid of the 76ers played hard against Gasol Jr. of the Bucks.
Both are stars known for their toughness.
Although Embiid is stronger and tougher than Gasol Jr., Gasol Jr. is slightly better than Embiid in terms of golf quotient.
When these two people meet together, no matter attacking or defending, they have to shed a layer of skin to restrain their opponents.
However, as time goes by, the Raptors with a more reasonable lineup and a more complete team have gradually gained an advantage.
Durant fired consecutive shots from outside the three-point line, smashing the 76ers' basket.
Siakam took over the right to attack the 76ers' basket, and continued to use face-to-face breakthroughs, rushing to the 76ers' defense line in a mess.
The 76ers began to be overwhelmed.
The 76ers were able to double-team the Antetokounmpo in the semifinals, but they couldn't use the double-team to limit Durant's scoring.
This is where Durant is more incomprehensible than Antetokounmpo.
Durant does not rely on brute force. He is one of the few skilled players in the NBA who will not be restricted by double-team tactics.
Simmons of the 76ers still can't shoot three-pointers.
Although in the past two years, Simmons' three-pointers have improved to a certain extent.
But increasing from 0 to 10% is still equivalent to no improvement.
For such a 76ers, when facing the Raptors, the three-point shooting team in the East, the three-point shooting disadvantage is too obvious.
At the end of the third quarter, the Raptors have gradually expanded the score to 20 points through Van Fleet and Durant's three-pointers.
The 76ers are no match for the Raptors at all.
