Chapter 317 68 wins, if you get hacked(1/2)
Nowitzki and Fanci stayed in Los Angeles to hone their shooting skills, and Fanci immediately communicated with him about some matters regarding two-person cooperation. They are both players with high IQs, and after the exchange, they immediately felt like they understood each other.
Moreover, when Nowitzki was shooting, Fanshiy stood there silently feeding him the ball.
Fanshie's passing was very comfortable, and Nowitzki's shooting percentage skyrocketed.
"I originally thought we would have to wait until at least next season to hit the championship, but now, I am confident. I may be able to return to Dallas with two championship trophies."
Nowitzki returned to the sidelines after a two-hour training, and he was very happy to say to Fan Xi.
His confidence comes from the improvement of his tacit understanding with Fanshi, and the fact that Fanshi's pass to him feels really good. He believes that their duo will catch the opponent off guard.
Moreover, the Clippers' newcomers have also made significant progress. Butler and Leonard's season scoring averages have exceeded the 12-point mark, and Kwame Brown and DeAndre Jordan are also continuing to improve.
The veterans are as stable as ever, and the condition of former superstars such as Yao Ming, Hill, Carter, and Arenas who have suffered serious injuries is also improving rapidly.
So, the Clippers are really scary.
No wonder Popovich emphasized it again and again.
What makes Popovich happy is that the Clippers quickly spread the word: "The Thunder are just an ordinary youth army. We will not pay attention to their provocation. Our first-round target is the Lakers. We want to blackmail them."
Eight! Fight with all your strength! There can only be one legend in Los Angeles."
This is what Kupchak said when he asked someone to let him go.
It quickly made waves.
The Clippers are going to fight the Lakers.
This sounds quite exciting. In the past regular season, they played three games, and the Clippers won two and lost one.
Among them, the two games the Clippers won were the focus of everyone's attention.
If the Clippers play another ruthless game this season, they will succeed in the eighth round of the playoffs.
So...the Clippers really might be neck and neck with the Lakers in Los Angeles.
Therefore, it sounds very reasonable for the Clippers to make such a decisive choice.
Public opinion in the basketball circle was turned upside down by the Clippers' voice.
San Antonio is naturally overjoyed. In Popovich's mind, the two biggest competitors in the West are the Lakers and Clippers. If they compete against each other, they will benefit.
In this way, they can compete with the winner of any of them in the second round.
Popovich's wishful thinking was loud and clear.
The Lakers were shocked.
"What? What? How could this happen...The Clippers are so vicious!!" Jeanie Buss was sitting in the office, her lips trembling. Although the Lakers now have strong troops, many guns, many superstars, but in the first round
Just do it with the Clippers, this... is too risky.
Sitting opposite him was Magic Johnson, who was the general manager of the Lakers. He also had a headache: "Jack is here for revenge. He is determined to fight us. We can't escape."
Jenny Bass sighed.
Although she never said she regretted it, now she finally realized what it meant to raise a tiger for trouble.
Because Time Warner stopped negotiating with their terrestrial broadcast rights, the original 20-year $5 billion contract was blocked. Jenny Buss tried to find them. But people at Time Warner said that the person in charge had changed.
Moreover, they also learned that Time Warner is actively in contact with the Clippers, but the Clippers have offered a sky-high price and they are still hesitant. They hope to make a decision after the playoffs.
Obviously, the Clippers did this to completely suppress the Lakers and make a lot of money.
If the Clippers get Time Warner's broadcast resources, the Clippers will not only make a lot of money, but also expand their influence through the broadcast of the TV station. In the end, they will not only gain a foothold in California and keep pace with the Lakers, but also have a lot of potential.
Maybe even more than the Lakers.
The Clippers' revenue this year is already very close to the Lakers. Although their average regular season ticket price is still 30% lower than the Lakers, their number of commercial sponsorships exceeds that of the Lakers, but the average amount is slightly lower.
"Can we avoid them and let us take second place?"
After Jenny Bass let out a long sigh, she finally lost her previous murderous rage and learned to settle for the next best thing.
However, Magic Johnson shook his head. He said: "Kevin Durant was interviewed an hour ago. He said: I also want to watch the Lakers play against the Clippers. So, I don't mind what they say about the youth army."
In other words, I can't wait for the playoffs to start. This must be the best matchup in the first round of the playoffs."
Durant's words undoubtedly blocked the Lakers' retreat.
"We have so many superstars, and the Clippers are calling again. We can't be timid."
Magic Johnson said helplessly.
He is now like an ant thrown on a hot pot.
"However, we don't need to worry about anything. After Webster and Sessions joined, our strength has been greatly improved. Nowitzki of the Clippers will not be able to return until the playoffs. In the first round of the playoffs
We have an advantage in beating them."
Magic Johnson has regained some confidence.
Judging from all aspects of the team's formation, the Lakers are simply a sure winner.
During this period of time, the Lakers were swept away by the autumn wind, and there was no one enemy at all.
After all, the Lakers' lineup is really, really strong, a strength rarely seen in history. They start with three top players in the league, plus a bunch of elite players.
Jenny Bass took a deep breath, and she realized that she did not seem to need to be too worried.
However, she was indeed cast a shadow by those two games.
Moreover, she is worried that if the Clippers win the series, the Lakers will lose their dominant position in Los Angeles. She does not want to keep pace with the Clippers, and she does not want the Lakers to have greater resources.
When Magic Johnson left, she lay in the huge boss chair, looking particularly weak.
During this period, she had a recurring dream. She dreamed that time went back to last summer. God asked her: Do you still want to trade Jack Fan?
Her head shook faster than a rattle!
…
With 10 games left in the regular season, Fanci returned to the team.
Because the Clippers have now reached a very critical moment. At this time, the Clippers are half a game ahead of the eighth-place Utah Jazz.
As long as they lose one more game than the Jazz, they can smoothly fall to eighth place.
However, there is an embarrassing thing now... When the Clippers lost and fell into the rankings, the Jazz also failed to live up to expectations. Their schedule was too devilish. In the second half, they all faced teams in the top half of the Eastern and Western Conferences. So.
, the ninth-place Houston Rockets originally had no chance at all.
Now, they are only one game behind eighth place.
In other words, if the Clippers don't play well, they will easily mess up and fall out of the top eight. If they don't make the playoffs in the end... it will be a joke.
In addition, the Spurs are currently stuck in the third place and cannot move forward. They are playing badly, but they are too weak to withstand their opponents, and they still have a two-game advantage over the fourth-place Grizzlies.
This is very embarrassing!
This wave can be regarded as playing the intellectual game to the extreme.
It won't work if Fan Xi doesn't come up.
Therefore, Fanci came back in the home game against the Houston Rockets.
The Rockets were originally trying to destroy the team, but as soon as they saw that they could make it to the playoffs, the Rockets owner Grandet's personality immediately came to life and he chased after the players to give them a boost.
Unexpectedly, when I came to Los Angeles, I met Fan Xi's comeback.
Fan Higger was so angry that he defeated the Rockets by 38 points as if to avenge Chairman Yao.
After Fan Xi returned to the Clippers, it was like a tank with a perfect chassis and a super powerful engine.
It quickly surged.
Fanshie can play fast breaks and positions at any time. The most important thing is that after Leonard has been training alone during this period of time, he has developed a set of singles logic in the mid-range.
Fanshie pulled him and Nash into a smooth triangle attack, which stunned the Lakers fans.
The Lakers no longer play the triangle offense, but the Clippers have picked up this set of weapons. So, who is the authentic one in Los Angeles?
After defeating the Rockets at home.
The Clippers' seventh place is more stable.
However, the Jazz failed to live up to expectations and actually lost.
I was so anxious that I couldn't continue acting.
Fan Xi didn't want to make one wrong move and lose the whole game.
Now he wants to let the old fox Popovich fall into the trap, so it must be realistic.
Therefore, in the second home game, he lost to the Trail Blazers.
He played for 3 minutes and then came off the field. At the same time, whoever performed well on the court was replaced, just like watching the lights go by.
In this case, the Blazers didn't take the lead until the last two minutes of the fourth quarter.
Popovich and the Lakers were shocked to see that the Clippers were so powerful that it was so difficult to let them go.
Fan Xi carefully controlled the outcome.
To be continued...
