Chapter 238 Even if you can't beat the warriors, let them peel off!
If nothing else happens, Duncan will announce his retirement on social media in about two months, and by then, countless fans will be touched by it.
Almost no one knows about this yet.
The news that the Lakers defeated the Spurs with a huge score of 4:1 and entered the Western Conference Finals quickly caused a stir in the American sports circle.
From being never favored to being sent away to the Spurs in just 5 games, this ending exceeded almost all fans' expectations.
In the Penguin Sports live broadcast room, millions of viewers witnessed this scene in person.
Countless fans spoke freely in the live broadcast room:
"666666! I never thought in my wildest dreams! This team, which was almost formed halfway, could actually defeat the Spurs, a veteran team!"
"After watching this game, I just feel that the Thunder are underestimated and the Spurs are overrated!"
"In a roundabout way, the opponent the Warriors face is not the Spurs, but the Lakers!"
"Howard will make up for it! The last rebound is so critical for the Lakers!"
"The Lakers are now the runner-up in the Western Conference at worst! Come on! Even if you can't beat the Warriors, you have to make them lose their skin!"
…
Oakland, Oracle Arena.
Seeing Lin Tian's buzzer-beating shot, Curry, Ying Guodala, Green and others couldn't help but take a breath.
The series between the Spurs and the Lakers ended in this way, which they never expected.
Green couldn't help but yelled: "Damn it! This is the strength of the second place in the Western Conference? How did they win 67 games in the regular season? They were defeated by the sixth place in the Western Conference! It's just laughable!"
"Calm down and chase your dreams." Curry's eyes were still fixed on the big screen. "At least we know who our opponent is in advance. Am I right?"
Yingodala also stood up and drank a glass of water: "Monster! The statistics of that monster from China in this series are really terrifying!"
Green continued to curse: "I thought we could rest for a few more days! These guys from the Lakers! I will beat them up hard!"
From the regular season to the playoffs, the Warriors were defeated all the way and basically did not encounter any strong opponents.
But the continuous high-intensity competition really made them physically and mentally exhausted.
This time they eliminated the Trail Blazers 4:1. They originally thought they could get a few more days of rest, but the Lakers didn't give them this chance. It's hard for Green not to be angry.
On the contrary, Clay Thompson, who was sitting at the end of the multimedia room, looked calm and relaxed.
He picked up a cup of coffee and drank it slowly, and then slowly said: "Chasing Dreams, my good brother, don't be so excited. Since the Lakers want to meet us early! Then we can eliminate them early! We'd better
Beat them 4:0! No, no, no! Considering that we have to send them off at home, beating them 4:1 is the best! It can also make some more money for the team! As you know, tickets to the Western Conference Finals are valuable
Very good!"
While the players were still talking about it, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr suddenly put down his cell phone and clapped: "Okay! Everyone, be quiet. The schedule for the Western Conference Finals has just been released, and it's set in two days.
! Everyone, get up early and come to training tomorrow, let’s prepare for the Western Conference Finals! Remember! The Lakers are not soft persimmons! If you treat them as soft persimmons, the consequences will be serious!"
…
Cleveland, Quicken Loans Arena.
"Although we have a game tomorrow, Coach Lu and I still invited everyone to watch the live broadcast of the Lakers-Spurs game today. It turns out we were right! The Lakers made it to the Western Conference Finals! They are a terrible enemy. I hope today
This game can give everyone some inspiration.”
James, the boss of the Cavaliers, talked freely in front of all his teammates.
Love, Jr. Smith, Shumpert and others all nodded slightly.
James continued: "Everyone may be curious. It is almost impossible for the Lakers to reach the finals. Why should we watch their games? Let me tell you the answer, because the current configuration of the Lakers is actually very similar to ours!
Watching their games will definitely inspire us! Including their offensive tactics and personnel adjustments, try to think about it, if it was us who faced the Spurs, could we beat them?"
"We will definitely win!" Jr. Smith said, "We are much better than the Lakers."
James smiled: "Jr is right, we are much better than the Lakers! But we cannot ignore some of their advantages!"
"LeBron, what we have to consider now is how to deal with the Menglong team tomorrow?"
Kyrie Irving, the team's second-best player, looked at James and expressed his opinion.
James laughed loudly, showing his big white teeth: "Kyrie is right! Look at my memory, I forgot the most important things. I think tomorrow's tactics should be as agreed beforehand, what do you think?
Coach Lu.”
As he said that, he set his sights on Cavaliers head coach Tyronn Lue.
Tyronn Lue, wearing a suit, walked up to the podium. He picked his ears and said, "LeBron is right. Follow the original tactics."
…
After Lin Tian, Kobe and Howard were interviewed by media reporters, they followed the troops to a restaurant in San Antonio for a late-night snack.
The expenses will naturally be borne by Little Bas.
In fact, Bass had already made a video call with them as early as an hour ago.
Bass, who is in his 50s, smiled like a child during the video call.
Tonight is a very memorable night for all Lakers players.
Nick Young and Howard were not polite. After entering the store, they directly ordered the most expensive red wine in the store, saying that they would not return until they were drunk.
Kobe also rarely drank a lot of wine.
After finishing the late-night snack, when the team staff paid the bill, Lin Tiancai realized that they had spent a total of 100,000 dollars tonight.
Such consumption is already very high!
You know, the team's substitute Clarkson's annual salary is only 800,000 U.S. dollars. After deducting nearly half of the tax, it is less than 50,000 U.S. dollars a month.
I don’t know if Bass will feel pain when he receives the invoice.
Walking out of the restaurant, a chill hit me.
Howard, Nick Young and Channing Fletcher were obviously drunk and needed help.
Fortunately, there were a few non-drinkers on the team who helped them get into the car and take them back to the hotel.
The first thing Lin Tian did when he returned to the hotel was to take a comfortable bath.
Then he stopped reading the news and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, the players dragged their exhausted bodies and boarded a special plane flying to Los Angeles.
