Chapter 1132 Waiting for the opponent in the semifinals

"I really can't imagine that the team is going to enter the semi-finals like this, haha~!! This is amazing~!"

"There is still half a quarter left, everything is still uncertain~, don't be too happy~!!"

"I would be really happy if we lead by 5 points, but we are now leading by 15 points, still at home, and leading by a big score of 3:1, everything is in our best interest~!"

Inside the Staples Center, fans chattered as they lined up to go to the bathroom.

After the Clippers won the match point, they led the Nuggets by 15 points at halftime in the fifth game of the series. It can be said that one foot has entered the Western Conference semifinals.

"On the offensive end, we continue to play Love's high-post support screen. The two bottom line players run eight figures, and then create opportunities for the pitcher. If you make a shot or not, you must hurry back to the defense ~!!"

Even though the fans are so optimistic about the team winning the series, the Clippers are indeed doing well, but Lan Shengli is still in the locker room, squatting among the players, drawing on the tactical board with a pen and explaining in a serious manner.

"On the defensive end, we will continue to expand our defense. Just let Jordan stay on the inside alone, and all other players will go out to attack, giving enough pressure to the opponent's outside attack~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to remind the players.

In the second half of the game, the Clippers suppressed the Nuggets from beginning to end, not giving the opponent a chance to start.

The offensive firepower can still continue.

"Swipe~!!"

Love's outside shooting can still provide a certain output, continuing the good touch of the previous game.

"Duang~!!!"

George was also able to take advantage of the Nuggets' under-marking mistakes and run back to the basket to complete a slam dunk.

In the end, the Clippers once again defeated the Nuggets at home with a devastating momentum, thus eliminating their opponents with a total score of 4:1 and successfully advancing to the Western Conference semifinals.

The Clippers lost one game in the series first, and it was still at home. They rebounded strongly and won four games in a row to advance. They indeed suppressed the Nuggets in all directions.

In the young and old contest between Lan Shengli and Karl, the young coach Lan Shengli won.

Like the name, it must be a win.

The moment the game ended, the "golden rain" symbolizing victory immediately danced over the Staples Center.

The golden ribbons flying all over the sky created a feeling of winning the championship.

"Thank you Coach Carl, it is my honor to compete with you~!"

Here Lan Shengli came to Carl, hugged and said at the same time.

"Young people are awesome, keep going~!!, keep this state, you can do more things~!!"

Coach Carl also encouraged Lan Shengli.

Lan Shengli listened and nodded.

The players on both sides here also hugged and greeted each other.

During the game, they fought on their own, because they are all players. After the game, they are colleagues, and even friends. Greetings and encouragement are of course essential.

The fans were intoxicated by the fluttering ribbons and the joy of victory.

After all, the Clippers haven't won the next round of the series for many, many years.

"Congratulations, Coach Blue, you led the team to the semifinals of the division for the first time in the playoffs, how do you feel~?!"

This is also the first time in the series that Lan Shengli has accepted an interview directly from the sidelines.

After all, such interviews were only provided to the players before, and Lan Shengli would often leave the arena at the first moment after the stand to prepare for the press conference.

"I am very excited to be able to defeat such a powerful opponent as the Nuggets. This is the credit of the players. They are very good and tenacious. They are attacking every game. This is the most commendable~!!"

Lan Shengli responded.

Because the place is very noisy.So Lan Shengli could only shout at the top of his lungs.

"What plans or goals do you have for the next journey~?!"

The reporter continued to ask.

"Because we are not sure who the opponent is yet, so we still need to wait a little longer, and then wait for the opponent to come out, and then we will make targeted arrangements~"

Lan Shengli replied.

"As for the goal~, of course, the farther you go, the better~"

Lan Shengli continued to answer.

The journey of the Nuggets this season is over. From reaching the Western Conference finals last season to being out in the first round of this season, the Nuggets can be said to have experienced a failed season.

Of course, this Anthony's leaving the team has a direct relationship.

It can be said that when Anthony submitted a trade application to the management, the Nuggets' season ended early.

However, the future of the Nuggets is still relatively clear.

The players in the current lineup are strong enough, coupled with the draft picks obtained from the Knicks through the trade, the Nuggets can quickly complete the reconstruction.

However, in order to return to a championship-level team, the Nuggets still need to recruit big-name free agents like Anthony.

As for the Clippers, as Lan Shengli said before, they still need to wait for the next opponent to appear. Their journey this season will continue, and they may continue to create miracles.

The line of sight came to the Clippers locker room.

The players were chatting and laughing, and the whole locker room was very lively.

Lan Shengli was still the last one to walk in.

"Guys, Charles said we'd be swept by the Nuggets, O'Neal said we'd be eliminated 1-4, Kenny said we'd last six games at most, but right now, instead of being swept, the other team nearly got swept by us , we were not eliminated 1:4, but we eliminated each other 4:1, we don’t need to last six games, because we solved the problem in five games~!!!”

Lan Shengli looked around at the team members and spoke in a sonorous and forceful tone.

"Yeah~!!!"

"Oh~!!!"

The team members cheered extremely excitedly when they heard this.

"We let those people down~"

"We made TNT unable to come down~!!"

"Hurry up and let me watch their show, I want to hear what they are talking about~?!"

The team members chatted in a hurry.

"Papapa~!!, everyone be quiet, listen to me~!!"

Lan Shengli clapped his hands and said.

Seeing this, the team members continued to focus on Lan Shengli.

"Entering the playoffs, we have completed the mission of the season and won the first round. We can say that we have exceeded the mission. In this case, why don't we continue to win~?!, I don't want to go too far , I just want to say, we can win more~!!"

Lan Shengli said with a serious expression.

"So, let's put away the joy of winning the series and wait for the semi-final opponent to appear~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.
