- "Los Angeles Continues to Go" - "Los Angeles Times".
The Los Angeles Derby has attracted the attention of hundreds of millions of fans. In this Focus Series, the Los Angeles Clippers proved their heroic words with strength. Yes, they just went for the O'Brien Cup. After stepping on the same city's Brothers Lakers, they will quietly wait for the winner between the Houston Rockets and the Dallas Mavericks. Both the Dallas and Houston Clippers have the confidence to step on the stage of their opponents to enter the finals, and the Los Angeles continues to move forward.
"4:1, the complete victory of the Clippers" - "New York Times".
"Unstoppable, trembling hero" - Yahoo Sports.
"The New King of Los Angeles - Lin" - "Today is America".
As early as five months ago, I once said that once Selin really defeated the Lakers in the playoff season, it would be equivalent to embarking on the road to the throne. Now I can finally believe that Lin is the king of Los Angeles. Someone asked me who was the final winner this year. I only gave one team, that is, the Clippers. I believe in Luo. The Sugi will not be stranded until its port. This year's O'Brien Cup will be the first gem on the new crown of Los Angeles. Am I exaggerating? Let's wait and see.
With the Clippers kicking the defending champion Lakers out of the playoffs with a total score of 4-1, another semi-final in the Western Conference was played between the Dallas Mavericks and the Houston Rockets. In recent years, the Rockets relied most on Yao Ming and McGrady to be particularly healthy. However, this year's Spurs' record in the regular season is generally not weak for several consecutive years. The tragedy of the playoffs seems to be rewritten this year. At present, the total score of the two teams has come to 3:2 for the Mavericks to reach the match point, and the sixth game will be played in Houston, the Rockets' home stadium. The Clippers also pay great attention to this game. However, before the results of the game come out, the Clippers can only prepare to practice the corresponding defense. Guard and attack.
The Eastern Cavaliers and Celtics series were chased by the Celtics in two innings with a 2:1 lead. The sixth game will be played at the Celtics' home TD North Shore Garden Arena. If James can't lead the team to victory, he will say goodbye to the playoff stage again. Dwight. The Orlando Magic led by Howard easily swept out the Atlanta Hawks, and the Magic quietly waited for the winner of the Celtics and Cavaliers.
On the sixth night of the Rockets and the Mavericks, the league announced the list of the first team of the league's defense. Lin Fei naturally missed the award, but the main small forward of the Clippers mainly took on the defensive task of Ron this season. Artest has been recognized by other head coaches. The head coaches of 30 teams will vote. They will choose the best defensive team first and second teams according to their position. Among them, the coach is not allowed to vote for the players who coach. Players who get a first lineup will get two points and a second team. The vote will get one point.
In the final vote, Ron. Artest got 12 votes from the first team and 12 votes from the second team except for Mike. Only five other head coaches besides Dunleavy did not vote for Artest. In the end, Artest scored 36 points, ranking fourth in everyone.
With 38 points second only to LeBron James in the striker, he was successfully selected as the first team of the best defensive lineup, and the Clippers substituted Wilson in the playoffs. Although Chandler failed to make the first and second teams in the best defensive lineup, he also got nine votes for the second team.
In addition to Artest, Dwight, the first rebound cover double material. Howard entered the first defensive lineup without any suspense. Little Emperor James also entered the first defensive lineup with 38 points. Kobe Bryant, who had just been eliminated by the Clippers led by Lin Fei, also successfully entered the first defensive lineup. The last defender came from the league's grab Wang Lajian. Rondo, and Tyson, the main center of the Clippers. Chandler entered the second defensive team, and Gerard also entered the second defensive team. Wallace, Chris. Paul, Kevin. Garnett, Dwyane. Wade.
Ron. Artest and Tyson. Chandler's selection was undoubtedly well-deed. Shortly after the award was announced, the speedboat knew his next opponent.
The Dallas Mavericks are away with "Jets" Jason. Butler's outbreak in the fourth quarter sent the Rockets for fishing, and the Mavericks will have to face the Los Angeles Clippers led by their bitter owner Lin Fei on the stage of the Western Conference finals.
The Green Shirts also play LeBron at home. James sent him on vacation. For the Clippers who aspire to win the championship, they prefer to meet the young Orlando Magic than the Boston Celtics in the finals, but they still have to face the difficulties of the Dallas Mavericks, although Lin Fei only lost to the Mavericks in his short three-year career. Once, he achieved an amazing record of 12 wins and 1 loss, which also made the Los Angeles media a good proof that the Clippers will definitely advance.
The Western Conference final will start in Staples three days later, and the final preparations will be made on the Los Angeles Clipper.
Dallas people are even more worried. After all, Lin Fei always performs quite well against them. How to defend Lin Fei has become a headache for Mavericks head coach Carlisle.
The day before the start of the game, the NBA officially announced the list of the best teams of the first, second and third teams in the regular season of the 2009-10 season. Unlike the selection of the best defensive team, this award is not selected by the coach, but by 122 sports reporters and TV commentators from the United States and Canada. In the voting process, voters must elect two defenders, two strikers and one center forward respectively, and each first-team vote is five points, and the second and third squads are three points and one point respectively.
Relying on the results of individual votes and scoring, the position comparison finally comes to the list of the best teams of the first, second and third teams.
As the new regular season MVP, Lin Fei is undoubtedly the most qualified. There has been no regular season MVP in the history of the NBA that failed to enter the first lineup, and the final voting result was just eliminated from LeBron. James scored a full score of 610 and became the highest scorer, while Dwight led the team to the Eastern Conference Finals. Howard defeated Yao Ming by a narrow margin to enter the first team.
Kevin, the new scorer. Durant squeezed out Cameron in the striker position with a score of 579, second only to James. Anthony and Dirk. Nowitzki entered the first team of the best lineup.
And Lin Fei's position is a defender. There are many superstars in this position, such as Kobe Bryant, who has entered the first lineup for five consecutive years. Bryant, such as Dwyane, the Flash. Wade, assist king Steve. Nash, the head of the Jazz player Deron. Williams Trail Blazers leader Brandon. Roy.
In the end, Lin Fei got 98 first-team tickets, 22 second-team tickets, two third-team tickets, with a total of 558 points, became the first guard position and successfully entered the first team of the best team, while Kobe followed with 520 points.
The candidates for the second lineup are Yao Ming, Nowitzki, Anthony, Nash and Delong. Williams, the third team of the best lineup is Stadmeyer and Tim. Duncan, Paul. Gasol, Brandon. Roy and McGrady.
With the release of this award, all the 2009-2010 regular season awards have been announced.
And what people are looking forward to more is undoubtedly the next East and West finals.
The media in Dallas has been silent a lot. It seems that the previous confrontation has made them suffer, so they chose to keep a low profile. The Western Conference finals were held the day before the Eastern Conference finals, and the media in the United States focused on the Western Conference finals.
Can the German chariot Nowitzki, who has been depressed for several years, lead the team to victory?
Can Xinke MVP Lin Fei lead the Clippers on the way forward?
Is the process of the game one-sided or fierce?
All questions can only be answered in the game.
***** There were too many fans on the square outside the Staples Center on May 18. Although these fans did not choose to stay at home, they came to the square outside Staples to watch the big screen. Tens of thousands of people gathered here. People's ** is no less than the stadium. Inside, the Los Angeles Clippers players appeared one by one in the loud cheers.
"Let's greet our MVP with the warmest ** craziest...super...lin..." With the roar of the Clippers' live DJ, the Staples Arena reached the first time **, and the huge cheers brought a huge impact on Dallas players.
Lin Fei trotted out of the player's channel and stretched out his hand to high-five the fans on both sides from time to time.
"Lin, come on! Kick the Dallasman's ass hard.
"Lin, come on, let them know that this is Staples."
"Slaughter them! Slaughter them!"
"We are going to sweep!"
... All kinds of voices of fans penetrated into Lin Fei's ears.
The game is finally about to start. Let's take a look at the starting lineup of both sides. The Dallas Mavericks is still Eric. Dampir, Dirk. Nowitzki, Karon. Butler, Stevenson and Jason. Kidd." Hoffman looked at the data in his hand and said.
"Let's take a look at the starting lineup of the Los Angeles Clippers. In the Western Conference semifinals, the Clippers' changeable lineup has become an important weapon for the Clippers. Is there a new lineup change today? The center is Tyson. Chandler, power forward Rashid. Wallace and the small forward is Wilson. Chandler is not Ron. Maybe Carlisle didn't expect that the shooting guard position is still Lin Fei, and the organizational guard is Andre. Miller, Miller and Kidd's traditional old defender showdown will be a highlight. Bill. Wharton followed Hoffman's words.
Carlisle stood on the sidelines with his hands in front of the Mavericks' bench. The Dallas Mavericks' defeat against Lin Fei made him have to worry about this game. In contrast to Carlisle's expression is Mike Dunleavy on the other side. Dunleavy is now more and more He has the demeanor of a master coach.
Karon Butler is the most trusted player in the Mavericks' main lineup in addition to Nowitzki, and Butler's defense is also the best in the front position in the whole league. Today, he is responsible for defending Lin Fei. In addition, Stevenson, a pseudo-start, also plays the task of defending Lin Fei.
With a whistle, the referee threw the ball into the air, Tyson. Chandler jumped up and gave the racket to Andre with an absolute advantage. Miller.
Kidd forced it up at the first time, Andre. Miller's steady dribble pushed to the top of the arc and stopped.
"It's useless to be handsome."
Lin Fei looked at Stevenson who said this in astonishment. He never thought that Stevenson would say such a sentence.
In fact, there is a reason why Stevenson said this, because his girlfriend and her best friends were just seen by Stevenson when they were discussing handsome men at home, and the focus of their discussion was an article. The report in the most authoritative female surname magazine in the United States that Lin Fei was the most handsome man in the United States made Stevenson very Unhappy, he used what he thought was a man's method to "teach" his girlfriend that night, and the consequence was that his girlfriend was still energetic after the night, and he himself was criticized by Carlisle because of his poor performance in the game the next afternoon, so Stevenson's hatred for Lin Fei has been long, of course. Lin Fei didn't know the reason.
"But I'm really embarrassed to come out like you." Lin Fei responded with a smile.
This completely stimulated Stevenson's inferiority complex. He made up his mind to make Lin Fei look good today.
A hidden elbow made Lin Fei frown and looked at the proud Steven Forest Fei and decided to do something.
Relying on Stevenson, who was almost half a head shorter than him, Lin Fei raised his right hand and asked Andre Miller for the ball.
Andre Miller passed the ball without any hesitation when he saw Lin Fei's request for the ball.
"Attack with the ball?" Not far away, Karon Butler saw that Lin Fei was ready to hold the ball and singles. Stevenson was thinking about going to defend. Although Stevenson's defense was good, the height difference made him not believe that Stevenson could defend Lin Fei.
After receiving the ball, Lin Fei immediately turned around and faced Stevenson head-on. He held the standard three-threat movements around the waist of the ball in both hands, and looked at Stevenson's defense with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.
"You can't stop me!" The tone was not heavy but clearly penetrated into Stevenson's ear.
"Come on, let me see your stinky level." Stevenson snorted coldly unconvincedly, and his whole body pushed forward a little.
Just as Stevenson moved his footsteps, the basketball landed and quickly shuttled back and forth in Lin Fei's **, with a surprisingly fast frequency.
The continuous ** made Stevenson afraid to move easily. At this time, Lin Fei suddenly took a horizontal slide to drive Stevenson's fast horizontal defense.
Lin Fei was not in a hurry to attack, but waited for Stevenson to fall back completely. His eyes looked at Stevenson with a smile. In Stevenson's eyes, Lin Fei's action was undoubtedly a huge mockery, "Damn it!"
When Stevenson couldn't help cursing, Lin Fei's fierce racketed the ball, and an in-situ accelerated directly to Stevenson's left side. Stevenson hurriedly moved his body to prepare for defense.
Just when the two people were about to make contact, Lin Fei suddenly braked and stopped his momentum. Instead, he pulled the ball with his left foot as the axis and pulled the ball with his right hand. It seemed that he was going to lean on Stevenson to turn around.
"Don't look down on people!" Stevenson roared in his heart and quickly moved his pace to try to stick to Lin Fei, making Lin Fei's turn become useless.
Obviously, Stevenson underestimated Lin Fei's current strength. Just as the center of gravity of Stevenson's movement changed, Lin Fei suddenly pulled back and Stevenson's position gap, and then suddenly accelerated and threw Stevenson behind him.
Stevenson only heard the sound of the basketball hitting the ground. The body that was originally close to Lin Fei was also unstable because of Lin Fei's sudden pull back and turned around, and he almost fell on the floor and looked particularly embarrassed.
Staples' Clippers fans did not hesitate to send loud cheers.
One side has already been watching Lin Fei's still Karon. Butler immediately decided to leave Wilson, who defended himself. Chandler rushed to Lin Fei.
However, just as he rushed to Lin Fei, Lin Fei dribbled the ball horizontally directly at the fast-swoon Butler. This made the sudden action of the fast-woop Butler unresponsive and watched Lin Fei and him pass by.
By the time he finished turning around, Lin Fei was stuck in the air, and the basketball flew to the basket.
Wh!
A crisp net wipe sound declared Lin Fei's first record for the first game of the Clippers' Western Finals.
"Beautiful, Lin successfully set a record for the Clippers." Hoffman praised Lin Fei's opening attack.
Stevenson shook his hand with regret and looked very unwilling.
In the offensive and defensive conversion, Kidd slowly dribbled the ball to the front court. Today, Kidd rarely dribbles to break through except for three points on the outside line. He relies more on his superb ball dealer and master vision to help his teammates score. The Mavericks' most trustworthy is undoubtedly the German Novisky.
Look at the insider leaning against Rashid. Wallace bit the position of Nowitzki, and Kidd directly put the ball into the inside line with a high crane.
Kidd's hanging ball was just right for Nowitzki to catch the ball comfortably. After receiving the ball, he stabilized his center of gravity and prepared for the attack.
The key to the Mavericks is Nowitzki, so in order to defend against Nowitzki, Mike. Dunleavy sent Rashid. Wallace, although Wallace is better defensive than Nowitzki, the two have one thing in common, that is, they like to turn over and shoot, but Rashid. Wallace is his signature turn-over straight-arm jumper, and Nowitzki often uses his own unique stunt after turning over, but as long as he turns over, Dunleavy thinks that there should always be the same place, so Dunleavy chooses Rashid from several insides in this game. Wallace defends Nowitzki, and Tyson, who is more sporty. Chandler assisted in defense. After all, the Mavericks' center Danpire's offensive ability is limited.
Nowitzki knows Rashid clearly. The characteristic of Wallace is that he did not fight with Wallace in a day or two. He did not choose to attack quickly, but chose to turn the frame after a simple back.
Looking at the frame of Novisky Rashid. Wallace raised his arms high to try to block Nowitzki's shooting sight, while Tyson on the other side of the basket. Chandler was ready to rush up to defend.
Two consecutive tentative steps, watching Wallace unmoved, Novice jumped directly with his right foot, with his left foot half-shrinking body with obvious back, and a blonde hair chose to take action after sweeping the air. Although Wallace blocked all the angles, Nowitzki still did not give up.
The basketball crossed a Knox's exclusive ultra-high arc across Rashid. Wallace's fingers flew into the basket.
"Dirk's signature shooting is almost an insoluble existence, just like the defenders can only hope that Dirk feels bad." Bill. Wharton sighed.
The speedboat was also prepared for this. Tyson after Nowitzki scored. Chandler quickly sent the ball to Andre. Miller, and Miller did not stop a long pass and passed the ball to Lin Fei, who quickly ran to the field. At this time, the Mavericks defenders had not had time to fall.
After receiving the ball, Lin Fei directly dribbling fast attack, and directly chose to shoot when he was still one step away from the three-point line. With Lin Fei's confident smile, the basketball accurately fell into the basket.
"This is Lin, who horribly chased three points and shot directly through the Nets." Hoffman said so.
In the conversion of attack and defense, Kidd passed the ball to Butler, and Butler and Lin Fei formed a nominal misalignment, but in fact the two were the same height.
Lin Fei stared at Butler in front of him. Butler's continuous dribble breakthrough failed to find a good offensive opportunity from Lin Fei's defense. Under Lin Fei's extremely obvious defensive footsteps, Butler decided to pass the ball.
At this moment, Nowitzki in the inside line is raising his arm to ask for the ball. Butler passes the ball in his hand as if he saw a savior, and Butler, who is eager to pass the ball, obviously forgets that Lin Fei, who is half a position away from him, is the champion of this year's dunk contest.
A half-height ball was directly broken by Lin Fei, who jumped up.
Before Butler could be annoyed, he immediately turned around to stop Lin Fei's quick attack and immediately chased him. Butler and Stevenson chased closely behind Lin Fei.
The fans of the Clippers saw Lin Fei pushing forward quickly and cheered loudly. Looking at the Dallas basket getting closer and closer, Lin Fei ran faster and faster. The huge speed advantage completely threw away Butler and Stevenson, who were chasing hard behind him. There was no one to defend. Lin Fei easily dunked his hands, and the basket creaked before he let go of his hands.
"Lin, well done" Wilson. Chandler rushed up to celebrate with Lin Fei.
"Work together to kill the people of Dallas!" Lin Fei responded with a smile.
"Caron underestimated Lin's bounce and Lin's reaction ability. In fact, as long as he thought a little, he would not be cut off the ball." Hoffman commented on Butler's pass just now.
"Focus your attention, attention!" Carlisle roared at Butler, obviously dissatisfied with such a mistake.
7:2, only two minutes after the opening, the Clippers took a five-point lead. Looking at Kidd who dribbled the ball into the half, Miller immediately posted it.
