Chapter 156 Temporary change, the Clippers are confused
"This semi-final matchup is probably the match that fans all over the world want to see the most, Lakers vs. Clippers!"
"Director Zhang, in your opinion, who is the real king of Los Angeles?"
In the Longguo Sports Studio, Yang Yi asked Zhang Lili a question that was easy to offend.
Zhang Lili said without hesitation: "In my opinion, it has to be the Los Angeles Lakers. After all, the Zijin Army is recognized as a wealthy team in the entire history of the NBA!"
"As for the Clippers, their status in Los Angeles is far inferior to that of the Lakers. To put it bluntly, they are only in Los Angeles, and the Lakers are the king of the Los Angeles Staples!"
"It's not about favoritism, and that's what Los Angeles fans think."
"Don't look at some Clippers fans at the scene, but if they really want to talk about this issue, they will choose the Lakers without hesitation."
A moment later, players from both sides began their appearance ceremony.
Under the introduction of the on-site dj teacher, the Clippers players began to play.
When Paul, Griffin and others played, they were loved by many fans at the scene.
If the Lakers are their own sons, then the Clippers can be regarded as adopted sons anyway.
Although not as good as your own, it is still popular.
Then, when the Lakers players came out, the voice of the scene was obviously many times higher.
Especially when Kobe and Qin Xiao were introduced, the entire auditorium erupted like a tsunami of shouts!
Chris Paul watched such a scene with an indescribably complicated feeling in his heart.
This feeling is very strange, and it is also the first time he has encountered the same city derby in the playoffs.
Although Los Angeles fans also support them, they always feel that they are not as good as the Lakers.
The two sides warmed up before the game, and the coaches of each team accepted pre-match interviews.
"Pooh, tonight is your first matchup. This round of the series will attract much attention. In the eyes of most fans, Los Angeles is still the territory of the Lakers! What do you think of this?"
Pooh De Nagro said calmly: "We don't care what those people think of us at all. Since it is a sports competition, of course strength is the most important thing!"
"Everything is based on strength. The Lakers have received more attention than us, not because they have more championships, but because they have superstars such as Kobe and Dwight."
"So everyone is more willing to watch them. In other words, if Kobe is in the Clippers, then our Clippers supporters will definitely overtake the Lakers."
De Nagro's statement is blunt, but it may be true.
The reporter continued to ask: "So do you think, with your current strength, is it possible to defeat the Lakers?"
De Nagro nodded: "There is no doubt that although the Los Angeles Lakers have played very well this season, they have achieved the second longest winning streak in history. But in my opinion, they are not without flaws." Searching."
"In tonight's game, we will focus on their defensive loopholes. As long as we do well enough, it will not be difficult to beat the Los Angeles Lakers."
Although De Nagro did not name him, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this was targeting Nash.
After finishing his interview, the reporter came to the other side.
"Mike, I interviewed Pooh just now, and he said that they are not afraid of you, and that as long as they fight well, they can win you. Do you think he is talking nonsense?"
Mustache curled his lips and said: "He's right. They do have a chance to beat us, but not many chances. In a game, if there is a win, there will be a loss. It's not surprising that the whole series loses one or two games, right? ?”
D'Antoni's answer seems to agree with the Clippers' statement, but it is also implying that it is absolutely impossible to beat the Lakers in the series.
At most, you will win one or two games, but the final winner still belongs to the Los Angeles Lakers.
"So for the Clippers, have you made any targeted arrangements?" The reporter continued to ask.
D'Antoni shook his head: "Sorry, I don't want to talk about this yet, but you will know after watching the game."
A few minutes later, the pre-match warm-up ended and the starting lineups of both sides played.
The Clippers' starters are as follows.
Point guard: Chris Paul
Score: Jamal Crawford
Small Forward: Caron Butler
Power Forward: Blake Griffin
Center: DeAndre Jordan
……
The Lakers' starters are as follows.
Point Guard: Andrew Goodlock
Score: Kobe Bryant
Small Forward: Qin Xiao
Power Forward: Pau Gasol
Center: Dwight Howard
When the Lakers starters came on the court, many fans were dumbfounded.
"What did the Lakers do? How did this No. 0 get the No. [-] starting position?"
"Yeah, even though this guy had a brilliant performance in the first round, wasn't he sloppy in his first round?"
"Steve couldn't be injured?"
"That's impossible, he's on the roster for tonight."
"Let me tell you, Mustache knew that Steve couldn't defend against Chris Paul, so he made a temporary change."
"There seems to be some truth in saying that."
"However, this kid is also a young man with no experience in the playoffs. He may not be able to impose much restrictions on Paul."
For a time, almost all fans were discussing De Gulock.
This is probably his highlight moment, after all, he has never received so much attention.
Except for these fans, the Clippers players were also shocked.
Chris Paul frowned slightly, they had arranged many battle plans against Nash.
The Lakers made a temporary change tonight, wouldn't their plans be ruined?
Clippers coach De Nagro was also a little depressed. He really didn't expect the Lakers to be so bold and break the starting lineup.
At the same time, on the commentary seat at the scene.
The guest commentators for this game are Kenny Smith and Shaquille O'Neal.
Originally it belonged to Charles Barkley, but this guy had a bad stomach, so he temporarily replaced it with Kenny Smith.
If Barkley was present, he might have already quarreled with O'Neal at this moment.
"Shaquille, what do you think of the Lakers' evolution?"
Kenny Smith asked O'Neill.
O'Neill said very calmly: "Look with your eyes, how else can you see?"
Kenny Smith was speechless for a while, why is it so difficult to communicate with this guy, no wonder Barkley was unhappy with him.
"Don't make trouble, this is a commentary, you have to talk about it carefully."
As soon as this remark came out, O'Neill instantly changed his face in a Sichuan opera, put away his hippie smile, and instantly became serious.
He pretended to be old-fashioned and said solemnly: "Well, I think the change of the Los Angeles Lakers is very wise. They boldly used young players, which caught the Clippers by surprise."
"But... I can only sit and watch!"
Kenny Smith has black lines all over his face.
Sure enough, it was impossible to make this guy serious.
