Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 209 He seems to look down on you!
The fourth quarter of the Clippers against the Warriors did not have the reverse plot that the majority of Los Angeles fans expected. With 7 minutes left, Rivers surrendered, replaced Paul, Griffin and Jordan, and then replaced Pierce, Rivers Jr. and a bunch of substitutes.

Helplessly, the Warriors even had a more luxurious bench lineup than the Clippers. Iguodala led Barbosa, Livingston, Rush and others to let go of their hands and feet, and severely abused the Clippers' bench headed by Pierce.

With 4 minutes left in the game, the Warriors had already led by 30 points. Fans left the field one after another. The Staples Center was in chaos. The referee stared at the timer from time to time, wishing the game would end soon.

The starting players of the Warriors stood in front of the bench, cheering for the bench with a relaxed face, especially Curry, who looked so happy that he exploded, and even tap danced when his teammates scored goals.

On the other side of the Clippers, Paul covered his head with a towel and said nothing, Griffin hugged his shoulders with a dull expression, and Jordan shook his head frequently and sighed when he saw the team lose points.

Rivers and Cole are only one technical platform away, but there seems to be a Himalaya mountain between them. The south of the mountain is full of spring, and the north of the mountain is ice and snow. The expressions of the two are in sharp contrast.

After losing this game, the Clippers will fall out of the top four in the Western Conference. If the playoffs start now, the Clippers in the lower half will face one of the Warriors, Spurs, Thunder and Rockets. To be honest, Rivers doesn't want to touch any of them.

Of course, the season has just begun, and until April, there will be large fluctuations in the rankings of each team, and the current results are not accurate at all.

However, as the head coach, Rivers knows better than others that they have not strengthened much this summer. Although the team lineup is stable, they have not improved. They have fallen behind in the arms race among many powers.

The game lasted nearly 90 minutes, and when the whistle sounded for the end of the game, the bottle of Bordeaux Margaux in the VIP room was just finished.

Three men stood in front of the French windows, with three empty goblets on the table behind them.

Although the team in the same city as himself was massacred with his own eyes, the three of Yuan Qingshan were deeply attracted after seeing the Warriors' quicksilver attack, and couldn't help yearning for it.

Towns turned on the TV, eager to hear the postgame press conference.

"What do you think Coach Rivers will say?" Towns asked.

Yuan Qingshan replied with a smile: "Of course the chicken soup was poured on the spot. The season has just started, so it's not the time to be pessimistic?"

Sure enough, Rivers' deep and hoarse voice came from the TV: "My players played very well tonight. They hit the goals that should be scored. Chris Paul's tandem activated his teammates to a large extent. Griffin and Jordan showed amazing offensive talents. They are all great."

He coughed and continued: "Our substitutes also played very well. Pierce and Rivers slammed the opponent's second team. I believe that as long as we continue to maintain our focus and vitality in the game, this Clippers team can go further in the playoffs."

The reporter who asked the question before was dumbfounded. This...why does it sound like the Clippers won the game?

In order to alleviate the awkward atmosphere, he joked: "How far can you take your players to touch the floor of the Western Conference Finals? Haha!"

After he finished speaking, he laughed a few times self-righteously, but the meeting room was surprisingly quiet, and no one came to praise him.

Several veteran reporters laughed secretly in their hearts: What a fool, you thought the Clippers won, and you actually made fun of their core players at this time.

"I will definitely invite you to watch on the day of the Western Conference finals, but I hope that the press card will still be hanging around your neck!" Chris Paul glanced around indifferently, without a word.

An idiotic joke brought out the heavy atmosphere that should have appeared after the loss. Rivers originally wanted to speak to ease the atmosphere, but after thinking about it, let it go. What else is there to say about a 34-point loss at home?

Competitive sports are like this. There are always people who are happy and others who are sad. The Clippers are dead, while the Warriors are just short of setting off fireworks to celebrate.

However, what they celebrate is not the victory over the Clippers, but the team has taken another step forward on the road to winning streak, and has broken the league's opening winning streak record.

Interviews with the Warriors, the reporters have no pressure at all. When a team wins, even the most boring people in the team will be infected by the atmosphere.

"Stephen, congratulations on breaking the opening winning streak. Next, you will face another team in Los Angeles... the Lakers. What do you think of the game the day after tomorrow?"

Curry smiled: "Opinion? One word: win!"

Papapa, Green, who was sitting next to him, applauded.

Curry raised his palm, and the two clapped their eyebrows, how arrogant and arrogant they were.

Click, click, click, the sound of the shutter is everywhere.

"Damn it, this elementary school student is really arrogant!" Downs took a deep breath, feeling aggrieved.

Yuan Qingshan frowned, the Warriors are now in full swing, and the chances of the Lakers being upset are really slim.

The reporters asked some more "polite" questions very interestingly, and Curry and Green answered them one by one with a smile.

Suddenly, a beautiful blonde reporter raised her hand.

"Beautiful lady, we want to hear your questions." Green gestured for her to speak.

"Your opponent in the next game is the Lakers. Their starting point guard Yuan Qingshan has been in the limelight recently. Will he cause you trouble?" This question was asked of Curry.

Curry dialed the microphone and was about to speak when Green replied, "If the guy in your mouth is as charming as you, maybe it will really cause trouble for Stephen! If not, I'm sorry, Stephen will crush him like a bug, just like this paper cup."

Green pinched the paper cup in front of him, and squeezed it hard against the camera under the stage. The fragile paper cup immediately collapsed into flakes, and the water inside spilled all over the table.

"Hey, Dream Chaser, you're a bit overdue." Curry reminded.

"Really, haha!" Green smiled and hammered the table, pointing to the camera below the stage: "Come and try it, kid, Stephen will let you know how powerful the Warriors are!"

Although some reporters didn't say anything on the surface, they were laughing at Green's arrogance in their hearts.

"You should be facing this year's No. 21 pick Karl-Anthony Towns the night after tomorrow. He can average 10 points and [-] rebounds per game. Can you limit him?" Finally, a reporter couldn't see it anymore and reminded Green: Your opponent is very strong, both in terms of points and rebounds, far surpassing you.

"Why, is there going to be a draft meeting the night after tomorrow? Does being the No. [-] pick have a bonus in the game?" Green shot back.

Of course, the reporter would not directly answer Green's question because of his anger, so the opportunity to ask questions was given to others. The subsequent questions were very gentle. The post-match interview ended quickly, and the Warriors returned to the hotel to rest.

"I said Downs, that Warrior guy seems to look down on you!" Whiteside, who has always been honest and honest, stated the facts, but it sounded a bit harsh.
