It is said that peers are enemies, so most of the participating teams in sports such as basketball teams and football teams are not in the same city.
In addition to commercial considerations, there are other considerations. Just imagine, if you can see your opponent every day, and the guy who is in the same rice bowl with you every day looks up and sees you, what would you think.
In such an environment, it is absolutely impossible to feel so happy. Sports competitions are often under great pressure, and sports players are not very strong in restraining their temper, and the probability of conflict is very high.
In this way, the probability of an accident is high.
Unless it is necessary, no owner likes his team to be in the crater, and the feeling of worrying about something happening all the time is extremely bad.
However, there are often exceptions in the world.
There are such two teams in the NBA, they are in the same city, one is the Zijin Dynasty Lakers with a glorious history, and the other is the fish belly Clippers in the league.
The Clippers have never been friendly to the Lakers due to the fact that the lower position is often hostile to the upper position.
Everyone is an NBA player, and also a Los Angeles team. Why are you Lakers a traditional strong team in the league, why are you the darling of Los Angeles fans, and our Clippers have to set off for you?
Not to mention capable people, even those who are incompetent are not willing to be green leaves to set off others?
With such a mentality, when the Clippers faced the Lakers in the second round of the playoffs, the team got excited from management to players.
In the first round of the playoffs, they defeated the Jazz, the No. 1 team in the West, and completed the first round of the Black Eight counterattack.
Then, when they meet the Lakers in this round, they have to make persistent efforts, because...
"That's really cool."
Even Kobe Bryant said so, you don't need to ask what other people think.
Is this cool?
Xu Ang didn't quite understand.
Perhaps this is the difference in thinking between Chinese and Americans.
Not understanding is not understanding, but it will not hinder Xu Ang's determination to win.
"duo~~"
The referee's whistle heralded the start of the game.
O'Neal, the big shark, is still young, when he is most active in terms of physical strength and bouncing.
As Xu Ang expected, this guy and Big Ben's jump ball easily defeated Big Ben.
With a light touch of that big fan, the basketball hit Lakers guard Eddie Jones.
To say that this Eddie Jones is also a remarkable figure. In the first two years of Kobe's entry into the league, it was this gentleman who put Kobe on the bench.
He can let the famous Black Mamba replace him in the future and follow him to pick up scraps. In addition to Kobe Bryant's first entry into the league, he did have a lot of things to improve. Eddie Jones' strength and state in the past two years are also extremely important reason.
From the current strength, Eddie Jones is stronger than Kobe.
Even if the Lakers have an OK combination in the future and Eddie Jones is traded out, his strength should not be underestimated.
Seeing the ball flying towards him, Eddie Jones reached out to catch the ball while turning sideways.
From his posture, we can tell that as long as he catches the ball, he can attack.
However, the premise is that he has to receive the ball first.
"Man, why don't you learn your lesson?"
Xu Ang was also surprised. It was obvious that Xu Ang had already shown his speed when they played against the Jazz, but he still didn't take precautions after switching to another opponent.
Since you are like this, I am welcome.
Whoosh!
A dark shadow passed by like lightning, so fast that Eddie Jones could not react. By the time he recovered, the score had become three to zero.
Using almost the exact same scoring method as the Jazz's first goal in the first game, Xu Ang completed his first goal in this round of the series.
When he saw his goal, the cheers at the scene exploded.
Don't look at the Clippers as a foil for the Lakers in Los Angeles, they also have fans. Anyway, this is also the home base of the Clippers, and they have a lot of fans.
At least, it will not be weaker than anyone in terms of momentum.
The premise is that the Clippers as the home team play well and win, otherwise don't blame them for playing the traditional skills of Clippers fans - cheering and cheering for the opposing players.
Thinking about it carefully, it is no wonder that the Clippers have not been improving.
Kim Belle, who has a talent for the draft and can always avoid the right options, is one thing, and the fans are also responsible.
In the face of such a group of nasty things, which star can stay on, when there is no ups and downs in the competitive state?
Fortunately, Xu Ang's performance was as stable as ever. In the first quarter, he made five three-pointers and gave three assists to his teammates, helping the team lead the opponent 25-18 by seven points.
O'Neal was holding his breath to seek revenge from Xu Ang. When the two sides played against each other last time, he was dunked by Xu Ang, and he was also hit by the ball and suffered a slight concussion, which made his career have an indelible mark. Black dot, he and Xu Ang's Liangzi have been forged since then.
Originally, in O'Neal's plan, he was going to teach Xu Ang a lesson today, and use his own strength and strong physique to crush Xu Ang. But if he wants revenge, he has to confront Xu Ang first.
In the entire first quarter, Xu Ang didn't make a single shot inside He just floated outside the three-point line, making O'Neal stare with anxiety.
I have breakthroughs, but I just don't break out, hey, just play.
I can dunk, but if I don't, I just get three points, what can you do to me?
"Sly boy, I really want to punch him in the head."
O'Neal was so angry that he wanted to beat someone up. If he hadn't reasoned that he couldn't do it, the Treasure Ship Arena would have performed a full martial arts show.
Xu Ang directly ignored O'Neal's resentment that was overflowing.
He wasn't afraid of O'Neal, but he didn't need it.
The team has Big Ben to consume Shaquille O'Neal, and there is also a bus relay. When he is constantly consuming O'Neal at the basket, he will not participate in it. It's like a group of sturdy men like Kai, Lu Bu, etc. in the king of pesticides fighting in a group. Master Li should not rush over to scrape, otherwise Qinglian Jiange won't be able to protect you.
During the break, Bill Fitch asked Xu Ang, "Let's just play like this? Can we focus on long shots?"
Bill Fitch was a little hesitant about Xu Ang's long-range shooting tactics. In his opinion, the main three-pointer tactic is crooked, and it is impossible to win. Only by going in and shooting as close to the basket as possible is the kingly way.
"We beat a lot of opponents with 3-pointers during the regular season, but a lot of people didn't accept it. Even if the facts were in front of them, they still thought that 3-pointers couldn't kill anyone. Even if we could win the regular season with 3-pointers, they would I don't think we can do the same thing in the playoffs. I'll show them today that there is no eternal truth, let alone a strategy that will never be outdated. If you want to be outdated, you only need to analyze the specific situation for the right People who develop the right tactics are the guarantee of winning."
