After the Lakers advanced, the post-game press conference said to Jackson, who is about to play in the Western Conference Finals, "It is very exciting to be able to play against the same city team in the Western Conference Finals. At this point in the playoffs, we finally ushered in the Clippers."

Similarly, Kobe Bryant was happy that his opponent was the Clippers. He excitedly told reporters, "We have grasped ourselves and contributed a lot of wonderful games! I’m glad we’re back in the Western Conference finals again. I’m glad our opponent is the Clippers! "
It is understandable that Kobe Bryant is excited. Since Shaquille O ‘Neal left the Lakers, Zijin Corps has experienced a very difficult period. Although Kobe Bryant is still able to stop and kill the gods on the court, the Lakers’ record is not ideal. In the season, the Lakers let the fans feel their kingliness again. Kobe led them to win and lose in the playoffs.
On the other hand, the encounter with the Lakers Clippers in the Western Conference finals is still frightening and calm. Although the Clippers players are not particularly excited, they are calm but they hide great energy.
"Mental derangement, it’s strange that we don’t calm down. We’ve been waiting for a week, and the excitement has already passed. But the game against the Lakers is simply great. Now Kobe is at the peak of his competitive career. Don’t praise him. I mean, beating Kobe can show us how good we are. What is the forecast score? I think it’s enough to end the battle in four games? " This is the second day that Ji Guoshame spoke in an interview. Most of Los Angeles criticized him for being too arrogant. The Lakers are even more excited to prepare this dead fox to watch four games, you uncle!
On May 15th, the seventh decisive battle of the Eastern Conference semifinals was held in Boston. The Celtics continued their good performance at home. Pierce contributed a personal high of 42 points in the playoffs this year. Gatt dominated the line. They led the Celtics to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers at home 192.
The Celtics finally eliminated the Cavaliers by 43 points and advanced to the Eastern Conference finals. They will compete for the Eastern Conference championship with the Detroit Pistons.
Cleveland Cavaliers fell short. They didn’t make it to the Eastern Conference finals again.
LeBron James scored 45 points, assists and 1 rebound, but it was difficult for the little emperor to lead the Cavaliers through his teammates. Delonte West scored twice and scored 1 point. The two emperors contributed an amazing 63 points together, but they also saved the day.
The four division finals of this league decided that the western conference finals were made by Los Angeles Clippers vs Los Angeles Lakers; The eastern conference finals were played by Boston Celtics vs Detroit pistons.
Long before the Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers played, the schedule of the Los Angeles Clippers and the Los Angeles Lakers had been announced. The finals of the two sides will be held in the west before the east. This year, the division finals will adopt the 232-game system, and the Clippers’ three home courts will be connected together, which is actually powerful for the visiting team.

Chapter two hundred and sixty-three What seems to be found?
The Los Angeles Lakers successfully advanced to the Western Conference finals after six bitter games. When the schedule was released, team coach Phil Jackson was interviewed and talked about his views on the first round of opponents.
In Phil Jackson’s view, the team’s health problems are always worrying. He said, "My heart is definitely health problems. It is difficult to avoid injuries in the playoffs. The best news after the elimination of the Hornets is that we have three days off, and the players in the starting lineup can rest. It is great for us not to drag the game to the seventh game."
Old Deng Liwei said, "We have rested for too long, and once the players are completely relaxed, it may take longer to re-enter the game. The Lakers are just in time for promotion. They can rest for two or three days, which can not only restore their physical strength but also ensure the continuation of their state. The first game will be very difficult for us."
The Los Angeles Times commented on the Lakers’ season performance. Dan wrote that the Lakers’ season has quietly changed a lot, even before Pau Gasol joined, and the core driving force for this change is Kobe Bryant.
Perhaps it was last summer’s trading storm that awakened Kobe, or perhaps Kobe himself realized a deeper team spirit. After the season, we can clearly feel that Kobe has matured, and he has changed his past style of play and stopped emphasizing the individual.
Luke Wharton attributed these changes to a mysterious force. He believed that the Lakers are now more like a complete team. Wharton suspected that "mysterious force" refers to team spirit. He said, "In previous seasons, when we relied on Kobe, we couldn’t play our best. Although sometimes the team still won, other players wanted to have the opportunity for the Lakers to contribute their strength." What Kobe is doing now is giving the opportunity to his teammates.
Of course, Rome didn’t build Kobe in a day, and it can’t be changed overnight. But from the record, we can clearly see the difference between the "two" Kobe Bryant. In the season, the Lakers made 25 shots from Kobe Bryant or 6 wins and 9 losses in the game, and the winning rate was less than half. Moreover, we can see that the more Kobe Bryant made shots, the more likely the Lakers were to lose. So what about the game where Kobe Bryant was lower than these shots? The answer is 47 wins and 13 losses, and the gap is clear.
What did old Deng Liwei seem to find when his eyes lit up after reading this article?
Bill Wharton Luke Wharton is an important member of the Lakers’ rotation list. A line of Hall of Fame and espn commentary, Old Wharton wrote before the game that after entering the second round, the focus of the nba playoffs has shifted radically. With the four super point guards out one after another, it is now the line’s turn to "six donkey kong" to the foreground.
Kevin Garter, Paul Gasol, twin brothers Elton Brand and Rasheed Wallace are the tactical core figures of the remaining four top teams. Each of these four teams has more than one tactical core, but in the final four of the season, each team has at least one external talent. This phenomenon is unique in the past two years. Sometimes you have to sigh that the nba has made great progress in the past two years, and the position of the basketball line has become more and more blurred. At that time, a small part of Patrick Riley’s ideal world has become a reality.
Bill Wharton believes that the search for super and dominant center has never stopped in the past two years, but the truly dominant center is getting harder and harder to find like an oil mine. The top point guards and attackers on the outside are never lacking, but a height-based sport can’t achieve great things without line talent.
The future great point guards Paul and Deron are still young. Once great Kidd and Nash stepped into the old age position, they couldn’t find a top point guard in this year’s semi-final battle. The big weight of the line is even heavier. There is one thing in common here. They must be tall enough, flexible enough, smart enough, wide enough, and perfect enough-including line position technology, peripheral projection technology, first-class ball technology. When they are already neck and neck, they have to add one to distinguish them, that is strong defense.
History has pushed these six big players to the top at the same time, and the final results of their respective teams in the playoffs will also depend on their performance.
Although the Clippers claim to have the "Big Four", the real tactical core now consists of twins and Artest, and at the end of the offensive tactics, the Clippers have evolved enough offensive routines through the attack and coordination of the twins, the breakthrough of Billups and the pick-and-roll of the Billups twins. Every time Billups and Artest meet powerful outside attackers such as James and Deron Williams, the twins become the winning point. On the contrary, when the twins meet Duncan, Gat Billups and Artest’s very old cat Mobry, the winning point is more basic.
There are similarities and differences in the Lakers’ situation. Kobe’s role is the same as that of Lupus and Artest, but it is more important to Kobe. Once Gasol has enough opportunities and plays his part, the overall attack power of the Lakers is stronger than that of the Clippers, which depends on the opponent’s defense. To some extent, Gasol’s performance in the Western Conference finals determines the success or failure of the Lakers. You can’t expect Kobe to beat the opponent alone.
Then … Old Deng Liwei’s eyes lit up again. What did he seem to find from Bill Wharton’s article?
The Clippers entered the Western Conference Finals in a historic way. Old Deng Liwei can swear to Deng that this is something he never expected. Miraculously, it has now become a reality! Old Deng Liwei knew very well that the Clippers rarely entered the playoffs, so he naturally didn’t have much playoff experience as a head coach. Old Deng Liwei combined Dadan’s and Bill Wharton’s articles without any affectation and summed up three winning keys.
First, split the Lakers’ outside line, increase Kobe’s shots and force Peter Pan to fight alone. Didn’t the Los Angeles Times say that Kobe shot 25 times and the Lakers won less than half? Then let Kobe shoot three times to see if the Lakers will be finished.
Second, the twins deal with Duncan and entertain the Spaniards to block the core of the Lakers line. Didn’t Bill Wharton say that Kobe won by himself? Then let Kobe play alone and let him pitch four times to see if the Lakers will play with it.
Third, rebounding and defending twins’ rebounding and line defense advantages will boost the Clippers to victory!

In a blink of an eye, it’s already the afternoon of May 16th, and today is the first day of the Western Conference finals against the Lakers.
Ji Guo’s humiliation is not awakened by an alarm clock. He likes to sleep until he wakes up naturally. Just now, he was awakened by Taylor Swift’s scream.
Taylor Swift has been looking at something like a ring box these days, trying to dismantle it, but dare not. These days, she has been in a daze and struggled in her heart for a long time. She just managed to get up the courage to open the box and prepare to wear the ring that is said to be expensive inside, but it turned out to be a red car key!
"Was a thief at home? What do you mean by annoying early in the morning! " Ji Guo’s shame likes to sleep late. It’s too little for a normal person to sleep for an hour.
Taylor Swift walked quickly into the room with the car keys and asked with a bad face, "fo, what is this?"
Ji Guo looked ashamed and yawned lazily and said, "Bitch, I’m going to sleep for a while. Don’t ask me such questions. Go and make breakfast. I’ll get up in an hour."
"Go to hell!" Taylor Swift throws a powder punch.
Two hours later, Ji Guo was ashamed to see Brother Panda in the training hall with a yawn.
"Are you insomnia?"
"I don’t care if I can’t sleep. Can Christine and Lolita cook?"
Ji Guoqiu was very surprised and replied, "Why do you ask?"
Ji Guo felt ashamed and sighed, "Give me one. I can’t cook. Taylor Swift will trade with you."
"You’d better keep it for yourself if you can’t cook."
Old Deng Liwei called the players together at this time, took out a newspaper and said to Ji Guo’s shame, "Why didn’t Fox wake up and read this report first?"
Ji Guoshi yawned again and went over to pick up the newspaper and found that he hated the Los Angeles Times.
"Mom, if you don’t read this newspaper, you won’t speak well of us!" Ji Guosheng glanced at the name of the newspaper and immediately said, and then read according to the old Deng Liwei, which nba star jerseys sell best in China? The answer is not Yao or Chinese twins. According to the latest official statistics, the sales of Lakers star Kobe Bryant jerseys rank first in China and Europe. In Latin America, Kobe Bryant’s jersey sales are also among the top three, not only Kobe Bryant’s nba marketing department official research shows that the Lakers are the most watched nba team in the world.
In the season, the official homepage of the Lakers has reached 510,000 times, among which Kobe’s homepage is the most clicked in the entire nba, reaching 290,000 times; In the middle of the season, the homepage of other players who joined Gasol is the third most visited among the international players in the league, reaching 140 thousand times
Let’s take a look at the Clippers’ official homepage, which has 220,000 visits, less than half of which are from Asia. Even the twins’ homepages add up to 160,000 and 150,000 to compete with Kobe Bryant.
By many measures, the Lakers have always been one of the most popular nba teams. Heidi, president of league ball marketing, said that it was reported that 94% of the Lakers’ games were broadcast live overseas last season, and the Clippers’ data was 5%
Xiao Hua, vice president of the League, said, "There are many reasons why the Lakers are so popular, but the main factor is their excellent performance on the court, from’ Magic’ to’ Shark’, from Karim to Kobe. They always have world-famous players, and then look at the championships they have won … I think this is the charm of the Lakers."
Ji Guo was ashamed to look at the old Deng Liwei and then at Ji Guo Qiu and asked, "Which one of us is 160,000?"
The Clippers all laughed. Old Deng Liwei kicked his ass and grabbed the newspaper and said, "Are you angry after reading this report?"
Ji Guo shamed his ass and shouted, "Of course, the article of angry nobles was sent early. I want to see if the number of hits will still be so high after they are eliminated?"
Old Deng Liwei enemy newspapers to motivate their players, Lakers Phil Jackson was very low-key. Jackson did not predict the result of the game in an interview. Before the game, Jackson only said, "It is very exciting to be able to play against the Clippers in the Western Conference finals. At this point in the playoffs, we finally ushered in the Clippers. Actually, we have been preparing for this for a long time, but we will respect our opponents at that time before we really advance."
Jackson’s demeanor looks much better than that of old Deng Liwei, and soon he will come to 4 o’clock in the afternoon to face the upcoming Western Conference finals against both Lakers and Clippers fans, who are full of expectations. The only derby in the league this season will be the most anticipated showdown for fans.
At this moment, the Clippers players are attending the pre-match press conference with an hour left before the game. Today, the focus of media attention is whether Billups will play. Because they haven’t got any specific information from the Clippers so far, it’s obviously a trick played by old Deng Liwei.
Ji Guowei’s pre-match press conference talked bluntly about his mvp candidate. He said, "Kobe Bryant is not the first, just like O ‘Neill said that he is a scorer who can’t score, but he led the team to win the championship in other ways. Personally, I think LeBron James is more qualified to win the mvp this season. The second candidate is Chris Paul. I think he has played a superstar level this year and no other player can attract my special attention except the two of them."
