Chapter 1242 It Rained Three Points in Dallas (Part [-])
"Let us congratulate the Dallas Mavericks. They defeated the Clippers away in the sixth game of the series, eliminated their opponents with a total score of 4:2, and entered the Western Conference Finals~!!"

Six months ago, in the Staples Center, the Mavericks celebrated their victory, and the Clippers left the arena in a hurry without even shaking hands with the Mavericks.

They once led the Mavericks 2:0, and they were infinitely close to reaching the Western Conference Finals, but in the end all this was in vain.

Nothing came to fruition.

Losing four games in a row, coupled with the team's head coach's "racist remarks", the Clippers players can't see where the future of the team lies.

At that time, the Clippers had a dark future.

However, with the joining of the passionate boss Ballmer, as the team completed the signings, and as the team's performance improved step by step after the start of the new season, everything seemed to be back.

The Clippers are "dawn" again.

Lan Shengli also won the best coach award in the Western Conference in the first month of the new season.

This is a recognition of Lan Shengli's coaching ability, and it is also a recognition of the performance of the Clippers.

As for the Mavericks, after they defeated the Clippers, they defeated the Thunder team led by another young coach Brooks in the Western Conference Finals and reached the finals.

Facing the opponent Heat who lost in the finals before, the Mavericks were unanimously unfavorable by the outside world, and the Mavericks completed their revenge. Even though the Heat are sitting on the Big Three of James, Wade and Bosh, But Nowitzki's key goals in the key rounds of several games allowed the Mavericks to defeat the Heat and win the championship.

It was also the Mavericks' first championship in team history.

And this season, the main players of the Mavericks have aged for another year. They may have used all their energy in the previous finals. Therefore, after the start of the new season, the team's offensive and defensive ends are not very good, and their results have plummeted. .

Now it's on the verge of the playoffs.

Such a defending champion is more or less downcast.

And these two teams met again after the Western Conference semifinals of last season's playoffs.

While speaking, the Clippers team had arrived in Dallas and the American Airlines Center.

"2011 NBA championship, how enviable~"

Sitting on the sidelines, looking up at the championship banner above the arena, Lan Shengli sighed.

Because the Mavericks don't have too many retired jerseys and championship-like banners, the white championship banner is particularly obvious.

"Congratulations, brother, the best coach of the month~, well deserved, haha~!!"

Every time he comes to Dallas, Byron will appear at the American Airlines Center, this time is no exception.

Byron and Lan Shengli greeted and talked.

The two quickly embraced.

Both of them are busy with their careers, and this is the only opportunity to meet and catch up.

"Compared to the best coach, I want that one more~"

Lan Shengli responded, looking up at the championship banner.

"Haha~, I have to fight for this thing myself, I only hope that the Mavericks and Clippers will not meet so early in the playoffs this year~"

Byron responded.

"No, I hope to meet in the first round, and then we will have revenge~!!"

Lan Shengli responded.

"Haha~, you bastard, when did you start holding grudges like this~!!"

Upon hearing this, Byron sighed with a smile.

"Competitive sports, if you don't compete with each other, it will be boring~"

Lan Shengli replied.

The two continued to chat, and the Clippers players had already started warming up.

"Playing against the Mavericks, I don't think I need to say anything more. I believe everyone should have heard a hypothesis that has been said many times. If we had no interference from off-court factors, would we have defeated the Mavericks and continued to kill the Mavericks? Entering the finals, although such an assumption is meaningless, but what I want to say is that it is more practical to make up for the regrets in our hearts~!!"

In the locker room before the game, Lan Shengli said to everyone in a serious tone.

The players, including assistant coaches Harper and Taylor, were holding back their energy and preparing for a big fight.

"I believe in everyone, tonight, we are going to win~!!"

"3, 2, 1~!!"

"Clippers~!!!!"

The slogans tonight seem to be louder than usual.

Billups, Harden, George, Love, Jordan, and the Clippers are still regular starters.

According to statistics, when the Clippers use this lineup, they outperform their opponents by 3 points per minute, which is a very high statistic.

As for the Mavericks, the personnel changes during the offseason are not very big.

Except for Chandler who went to New York, the rest of the main players who won the championship stayed in the team.

And signed UFO Carter in the free market, former Cavaliers guard West, and got Odom through a trade with the Lakers.

After all, the appeal of the defending champion is still great.

Moreover, it is rumored that the Mavericks are also interested in signing Chinese player Yi Jianlian. Whether this will come true in the end, we can only wait and see.

Before the start of the game here, the Clippers player Brewer, who was in the Mavericks last season, received the championship ring in the hands of Mavericks coach Carlisle.

Although Brewer didn't have many opportunities to perform in the playoffs, as long as he is in the team, everyone contributes to winning the championship.

"Crack clap clap!!!"

The audience fans, including the Mavericks players, and owner Cuban also stood up and applauded Brewer.

This is the most humane moment in the NBA.

After the heartwarming moment of gifting rings is over, it's time for the real competition.

The starting lineup for the Mavericks is Kidd, Carter, Marion, Nowitzki and center Haywood.

A lineup with an average age almost 10 years older than the Clippers.

If it weren't for Billups, it might have been more than one round.

"Crack!!"

Facing Haywood, Jordan easily passed the ball to Jump.

The Clippers organized the first offense.

Here Billups brought the ball to the frontcourt.

"The reason why the playoffs were reversed last season was due to off-court factors as well as on-court factors. That is, we did not have an experienced guard like Kidd. This is really important. It is characterized by the handling of critical moments Ball, now that we have Billups, I believe the situation will change a lot~”

Lan Shengli thought to himself.

Here the Clippers' complex position offensive movement began.

Love set a screen for George, who came up from the paint, at the free throw line.

George used the screen to get rid of the defender and came to the top arc of the three-point line.

Billups saw that George was open and immediately passed the ball.

After George received the ball, he made a three-pointer from the top arc without hesitation~! !

"Swipe~!!!"

Three point hit.
