Chapter 226 Sweeping the First Round

The Jazz's defeat in the first quarter set the tone for the loss.

From the second quarter onwards, the point difference became bigger and bigger, and gradually went straight to [-] points. Dugu Ming and Houtian's concentration on the court was extremely high. Every attack required the whole team to go all out and strive for Scored, which made Rivers nod in satisfaction.

"The game is like a battlefield. As long as the game is not over, the opponent is not dead. Even if you lead by a big score, you must strictly demand yourself and always maintain a high degree of vigilance and fighting spirit. This is what we lacked in the past. Today, Dugu Ming and the others did a fantastic job, I'm so proud of their composure and determination!"

How did Rivers know that Dugu Ming and the others played so desperately because the shooting percentage was less than 70.00% and they would be obliterated.

Otherwise, according to their past temperament, the waves would already be flying at this time, such as passing the ball behind the crotch, changing hands for dunks, and long passes across the court...all have to be played again.

The Jazz led by 20 points in the first quarter and 18 points in the second quarter. After the first half, the point difference widened to 38 points. The Jazz had completely lost hope of a comeback.

"The atmosphere in the team today is extraordinarily relaxed. Maybe it's because of the pressure of Gatorade."

A light-hearted joke in the lounge the day after tomorrow.

Ever since Yang Lu reduced the consumption of Gatorade from [-] to [-], everyone's faces were filled with smiles unconsciously. Now, everyone in the Clippers only needs to drink three to four bottles of Gatorade in one game. Happy to complete the task.

Physically freed from the "torture" of Gatorade, the players can perform better on the court. As the traditional point guard ranked first in the league, Paul has unique insights and methods in organizing offense. He frequently sent assists for his teammates, and his textbook-like organization also allowed him to learn a lot of skills the day after tomorrow.

The Clippers still adhered to the offensive purpose of the first half. Through patient organization, active running, and high-hit offense, none of them took a single three-pointer. This is simply unbelievable in today's league where small balls are prevalent. However, in order to pursue the ultimate shooting percentage, Dugu Ming and the others still try to solve the battle with fast breaks or dunks. The Clippers once maintained their shooting percentage above 80.00%.

Duguming knew very well that this first round against the Jazz was the easiest battle. Afterwards, they would face the Warriors, Spurs and Cavaliers in turn. The defensive intensity of future games must be getting bigger and bigger, and they want to continue to maintain high hits It's simply impossible, so they have to hit the Jazz to a very high level in advance.

In the third quarter, the Jazz saw that the Clippers were determined to play in the penalty area, and began to shrink the inside line, using the crowd to defend. The Clippers missed several times in a row. Duguming took over the ball at this time, and he played continuously. Fouls were made at the basket, forcing Gobert to leave the court, and the Jazz's defense was completely smashed. Then, they made consecutive throws and pulled back the shooting percentage. In the fourth quarter, the Jazz's physical fitness greatly Falling, the Clippers took the opportunity to launch a fast-break storm. In the face of a huge point difference, the Jazz gave up resistance and let the Clippers slaughter them.

The Jazz disarmed and surrendered, but Dugu Ming and the others did not give in amicably according to the "rules of the rivers and lakes". Instead, they struck while the iron was hot and continued to improve their shooting percentage. In this quarter, they took 18 shots and hit 16 goals.

In the end, the Clippers won another game 128 to 74. Although the score in this game was less than that in the first game, the shooting percentage was greatly improved, reaching an astonishing 80.00%. The hole in the last quarter of the first game was filled, and there was extra wealth. After two games, the team's shooting percentage reached 70.00% [-].

There was almost no suspense in the game. Everyone knew that the Jazz was over. Four days later, the Jazz visited Los Angeles. They also knew that they were unable to compete with the Clippers for tickets to the next round of the series. The state is very listless, whether it is offense or defense, they are just pretending. The result is obvious. They lost two away games in a row, ending their 16-17 season playoff journey.

The amazing performance of the Clippers has attracted the attention of the whole world. With four hearty victories, the total point difference has reached more than 170. This is an extremely rare crushing style in the history of NBA playoffs. victory.

"Dugu Ming and Houtian, they finally proved themselves."

The famous NBA media commentator said so in his latest tweet.

What makes Duguming feel dumbfounded is that they traveled through this time, but the resumes arranged for them by the space are very bad. After they joined the Rockets in the 06-07 season and won the championship, they were defeated in the tie-breaker in the Western Conference Finals in the second year. The lore, and then Yao Ming and McGrady were injured successively, and the Rockets have been in a slump ever since.

Then the two parted ways. Duguming went to the Nuggets, and the day after tomorrow to the Celtics. In the next few years, both of them had good statistics, but the team's record was touching and they never made it to the conference finals. Dugu Mingkong enjoys the title of No.1 in the league, but he can't prove himself with a championship, just like James before joining the Heat.

Until this season, the two teamed up to join the Clippers. At first, the Clippers had a good record, but Dugu Ming was injured in the middle of the season and did not return until before the playoffs. This also led to the Clippers' record, which was only ranked in the West fourth.

All in all, this embarrassing virtual resume has caused Dugu Ming, Houtian, and the Clippers to be questioned.

But with the strong victory in the first round of the series, it seems to be declaring that they will be the most powerful contenders for the championship.

Another day later, news came from the league that the Warriors swept the Trail Blazers [-]-[-], becoming the third team to sweep their opponents to advance this season.

In addition to the Warriors and Clippers, the other is the Cavaliers led by James.

The first game between the Clippers and the Warriors will be held at Oracle Arena on May 5.

According to the realistic plot, this Warriors team will win the championship by defeating the Cavaliers 4-1 in the final finals. It stands to reason that against the Warriors, this will be the biggest challenge the Clippers have encountered.

The Warriors and the Clippers have not had much grievances in history. The Clippers have been the foil team for the NBA playoffs since the 80s, and they often failed to make it to the finals. Although the Warriors were once brilliant under the leadership of Chamberlain, But it has also been lonely for many years, but since the beginning of the 12-13 season, the smell of gunpowder between the two teams has become more and more intense.
