NBA bench saves national team

"So do you think you still have a chance to make it to the Western Conference Finals during your career with the Clippers?"

A reporter asked, bluntly.

"I don't know! I can't predict the future, but I will work hard to achieve this goal! This is the goal of my career. From the day I entered the league, my goal is to win the championship. This will never Change."

"I will use my entire career to fight for the position!"

Chris Paul said firmly, with a bit of chill in his tone.

No one can question his desire to win and his desire to be a champion!

"The Clippers are now ushering in the offseason, do you have any vacation plans?"

A reporter asked, changing a more relaxed question.

"No! Now I just want to rest for a few days, calm down this painful emotion, and then I may invest in training and continue to improve myself!"

Paul said seriously.

Now he can still sound the explosive feeling of the first game of the series from time to time.

Very mysterious.

In the next few games, he could no longer find that feeling.

This made him very distressed.

He is very clear that if the first game of his series is a big explosion, then such a super god-level performance is normal operation for Qin Feng.

This is the difference between Qin Feng and other superstars.

During the offseason, he will continue to train hard to see if he can maintain the high level of performance in the first game of the series.

He knows it is difficult, but as long as he works hard, there is a chance to achieve it.

"Rivers, this season is your first season coaching the Clippers. Are you satisfied with the results?"

a reporter asked.

"Of course I am not satisfied! As the head coach of this team, I am deeply aware of the strength and talent of these athletes. They can achieve far more than that, and they deserve to go further in the playoffs."

Rivers said in a deep voice, still pouring chicken soup at this time.

"Then what is the reason why the Clippers did not go further?"

A reporter asked sharply.

"Lots of complicated reasons! Some reasons we can't decide."

Rivers said, vaguely.

The reporters also complained in their hearts, this old boy can really talk!

He praised his team very high, and when it was time to take the blame, he did not take the responsibility on himself at all.

In fact, both the industry and the outside world have always questioned Rivers as a coach.

Although he bears the title of "Champion Coach", he has only led the team to win a championship in more than ten years of coaching, and that championship was after the Green Army formed the Big Three lineup.

After winning the championship at that time, some media joked that if a pig was to be the head coach of the Celtics, the Celtics could win the championship that season.

It can be seen that the outside media are not recognized for Rivers' contribution to the team in the year he won the championship.

In particular, Rivers' level of tactical formulation has been questioned.

However, his ability to instill chicken soup has been recognized by the media and fans, so Rivers was dubbed the "Chicken Soup Master".

Now coming to the Clippers from the Celtics, Rivers once again ushered in the opportunity to prove himself.

I don't know if I can lead the Clippers to greater achievements in the next few years.

Many media and basketball experts are not optimistic, but Chris Paul believes in Rivers and thinks Rivers is the last choice.

The reporters asked a few more questions before ending the post-match interview.

The Clippers have also started vacation mode.

.......

the next day.

Another series in the West, the Spurs vs. the Thunder, started the battle of kings.

The Spurs have home court advantage.

At the beginning of the game, the team showed a very good competitive state. Not only the three veterans of dgp played well, but also young players such as Leonard and Danny Green were also in very good state.

In the opening game, the Spurs played a wave of offensive climax and gained the lead.

However, Durant and Westbrook are not vegetarians on the Thunder side.

Durant took the lead, hitting consecutive three-pointers and mid-to-long-range shots from the outside.

After that, Westbrook also frequently broke through to the penalty area and caused damage.

The Thunder quickly responded with a wave of 12:4 offensive climax, and once again caught up with the score.

Then the two teams fell into a stalemate.

Watching such a fierce game, the on-site commentator couldn't help feeling that the battle of Tianwang Mountain was really tragic.

Halftime is over.

The Thunder trailed by just 2 points.

The two sides are basically on the same starting line.

A long intermission passed.

The second half of the game begins.

The Thunder suddenly collapsed without warning, and did not score a positional battle for as long as half a quarter.

Durant's touch seemed to disappear suddenly, and he tried several consecutive shots without hitting iron.

The same goes for other role players.

The Spurs quickly established a 15-point lead under the frenzy of Danny Green's three-pointer.

For the rest of the game, the Thunder were never able to catch up with the score.

In the fourth quarter, Dewey's second youngster still wanted to continue chasing points, but was firmly suppressed by the Spurs, kicking off the game with a wave of 15:2.

The Thunder collapsed directly.

The Spurs led by up to 33 points.

Such a huge point difference also prompted the Thunder to give up the game directly, and replaced the entire main lineup in less than 4 minutes in the fourth quarter.

Let the game enter garbage time.

Finally the game is over.

89: 117.

The Spurs beat the Thunder by 28 points and won the match point with a big score of 3:2.

As long as they win another game, they will be able to eliminate the Thunder, break into the Western Conference Finals again, and join the Lakers.

Grandpa Duncan played steadily and scored 22 points and 12 rebounds.

Parker also scored 18 points.

There are also players such as Ginobili, Danny Green, Leonard, etc., all scoring in double figures.

The entire Spurs team had 13 players on the field, and 6 of them scored in double figures, which can be described as a typical team victory.

On the other hand, the Thunder team.

Except for Durant and Westbrook who performed well, the performance of the rest of the players was very hip.

Even Ibaka, the nominal third player on the team, only scored 6 points.

After losing this game, the Thunder came to the edge of a cliff and could no longer make any mistakes.

Many fans still support the Thunder to break into the Western Conference Finals, because they want to see the Thunder and the Lakers meet in the Western Conference Finals.

I think the duel between Qin Feng and Durant will be more exciting.

Of course, judging from the current situation, the hopes of the fans may be dashed.

According to the historical data of nba, more than 80% of the teams that win Tianwangshan in the series can eliminate their opponents and advance to the next round.
