NBA bench saves national team

Clippers interview room.

"Paul, how did you break out in this game? You broke a series of personal records, especially on three-pointers!"

a reporter asked.

"I just went to the game, felt good, and then exploded."

"My performance was really amazing, even if I saw it myself. I couldn't even think about making 9 of 8 three-pointers."

"My God! This is crazy!"

Paul said, with an exaggerated expression and shock in his tone.

He really didn't expect that he would have such an explosion in this game.

Everything is so dreamy.

What's even more fantastic is that he led the Clippers to win the Lakers, which is a very good start for the team.

"Can you still perform like this in the next game? What do you think of the trend of this round of the series? After winning the Lakers in the first game, does this mean that the Clippers have a chance to eliminate the Lakers and advance to the Western Conference Finals ?”

a reporter asked.

"I also want to have such a magical performance all the time, but everyone knows that this is impossible. I can only try my best to show myself on the court."

"As for the trend of the series, it is still hard to say! The Lakers are a very strong team. They are the defending champions. It is very difficult to eliminate the defending champions. This is a huge challenge for us. Difficult challenge, luckily we got off to a good start."

"But it doesn't mean we can eliminate the Lakers! It can only be said that we will try our best to accomplish this goal."

Paul said, very cautious.

Neither can be too confident, nor can it be too fearful of the Lakers.

As the saying goes, a proud soldier is bound to lose.

Being too confident can easily cause players to swell, but in fact, the strength of the Lakers need not be repeated, and Kobe is still in the recovery stage.

Once Kobe returns, the Clippers have little chance to advance.

The performance is too fearful, and the players are prone to lack of confidence, which leads to poor performance on the court.

So being able to speak chicken soup is also an art.

It is not an easy task to inspire the fighting spirit of the players.

This is why "Chicken Soup Master" Rivers is so popular in the league.

Everyone knows that as a coach, his coaching ability is not that outstanding, but there are still many teams willing to offer Rivers a good coaching contract.

The reporters asked the head coach Rivers a few more questions, and then ended the interview.

Rivers also said that he will lead the team to the Western Conference Finals with all his strength, which is why he came to Los Angeles from Boston.

......

the next day.

The news of the Clippers' victory over the Lakers swept across the entire meter, sparking heated discussions.

Many media and basketball experts took the initiative to jump out again, and taunted the Lakers, saying that the Lakers, as the defending champion, would be eliminated by the Clippers if Kobe did not return.

This is the consequence of being big!

There are even some extreme remarks saying that the Lakers are just a pseudo-strong team. Even though they have won the league's amazing record in the regular season, the Lakers are not as strong as imagined!

Waves of ridicule and questioning have demoted the Lakers to nothing.

In response, Lakers fans frantically fought back.

The scolding war resumed.

Everyone greeted each other, and all kinds of people-popping art were vividly displayed on the Internet.

But in the end nothing came of it.

Everyone knows that the only way for the Lakers to face is to win this series and reach the Western Conference Finals!

Can the Lakers eliminate the Clippers?

It seems unknown now.

This is also one of the reasons why the fans discussed frantically. They did not expect the Lakers to encounter difficulties in the second round.

You must know that they are the defending champions, a super team with 75 wins and 7 losses in the regular season!

outrageous.

at this time.

Lakers practice facility.

The whole team was training, and Kobe also came to the arena, walked straight to Steve Kerr, and said seriously: "Coach, I'm completely fine, I want to come back early!"

Hearing this, the players all stopped their training moves and looked over.

"Man, you know that recovery from an injury is a long process, especially for a veteran like you who has played in the league for 18 years, and the recovery will be even longer."

"If you come back early, the injury is likely to be aggravated!"

Cole said seriously.

"I know, but the team is in crisis, I can't sit idly by!"

Bryant said, a look of anxiety flashing in his eyes.

He didn't want to lose this chance to win the championship.

After all, he is already a veteran who has played for 18 years, not to mention the peak period, and his career has only been a few years.

If you don't win the championship, how many opportunities will you have in the future?

Now he already has five championship rings, as long as he gets one more, he can tie Jordan.

This is his lifelong goal!

"Hey, brother, take it easy, this round of the series has not yet reached a desperate situation! It will not be too late for you to come back when it really reaches a desperate situation!"

"Now you should take good care of your injuries and leave everything to me. I promise you will win tomorrow's game."

Qin Feng said seriously, with determination in his eyes.

"But......."

Kobe wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Qin Feng.

"Nothing but, brother, listen to me!"

"When you are young, you can fight with injuries because you have a super recovery ability, but now you are no longer young, so follow the doctor's advice!"

Qin Feng said again.

After hearing this, Kobe thought for a while and nodded slowly.

"I can understand your eagerness to play, but we still need to take it step by step!"

Qin Feng said again, and then returned to the training ground.

Kobe stood on the sidelines, his eyes full of desire to play.

"Chin is a very good leader, isn't he? So trust him, he will lead the Lakers to victory!"

Steve Kerr said with a smile.

"Yeah! He is really good and great! The Lakers have Qin Feng in the future, and I can retire with confidence."

"Not a few years, not a few years in my career."

Kobe murmured, his eyes full of vicissitudes.

He looked at Qin Feng running on the court, but his eyes were full of his youthful appearance.

When I was young, I was also omnipotent on the court, even with minor injuries. At that time, I only felt that my whole body was full of strength, as if I would never feel tired.

But it is different now.

He could feel the changes in his body. The feeling of exhaustion and physical weakness made him very painful, but he had to accept it.

After all, time is not forgiving!
