702. Eve of the war
On the 20th, when the Lakers' chartered flight arrived at OKC Airport, all three games in the third round had ended.
The Celtics beat the Magic away, and Kyrie Irving scored 42 points, which was the team's first victory. The total score was overtaken 2-1 if they lost one game in the series.
The third and fourth place in the Eastern Conference are very anxious, while the Bucks and the Raptors are making great progress, and they are likely to advance to the second round first.
In the two games in the Western Conference, the Clippers fought with the visiting Warriors at Staples for 48 minutes last night. They were full of gunpowder. In the end, the defending champion still laughed to the end. The Splash Brothers went wild in the final quarter, and a 13-2 three-point rain completely killed the game.
Even though the Clippers were defeated, they won applause from Los Angeles. Even Lakers fans believe that the mortal enemy in the city deserves respect.
As the eighth place in the West, he played against the defending champion with five All-Star players in the first round. He originally thought it would be the least suspense group, but the Clippers won a game in the Oracle Arena in the second round.
The two losses also made the Warriors suffer. Lou Wei's explosive output averaged 31.7 points per game is the key to the Clippers being able to block their opponents.
Now the entire league knows the strength of the two teams in Los Angeles. The Lakers have an all-around defender who averaged 33 points, 4 steals and 1.5 blocks in the first two games.
The Clippers' Lou Wei also averaged 30 per game, echoing Lam, becoming the two most dazzling stars in Los Angeles in the first round.
Of course, the one who is most proud is naturally Chichi Perkins. Both of them are his players, which also advertises the Summer's continued recruitment of superstars.
In another game in the West, two teams from the plateau moved to Salt Lake City at an altitude of 1,300 meters.
After a fierce battle, the Jazz relied on Mitchell's layup to tie the total score to 1-2 at the last moment.
So far, all the eight teams in the West have tasted the taste of victory except the Trail Blazers.
The Rockets beat the Trail Blazers 27 points in Game 2 and will start the third game tomorrow night in Portland.
The Lakers flew to Oklahoma on the morning of the game. They will go through three days and two games here, and then return to Los Angeles on the 24th to prepare for the fifth game.
Tickets on the 24th have been sold out, and Los Angeles fans are looking forward to the team's promotion that night.
Lao Pa spent a lot of money and booked a private room with a good location through his friends. He invited the Saints guys to watch the game on the spot, which made Billy and others very excited.
Last night at a bar gathering, Lao Pa told Lam excitedly that he was going to have dinner with Ritchie Paul soon and discuss sports cooperation together, which was an opportunity for K.S.
Back to the topic, the Lakers have made full preparations for the third game. Yingge's return from injury is one of the things the team is most looking forward to.
Of course, fans still hope that Lam can play dominant power. Although she scored 35 points on the court, the stealth at the last moment still disappointed everyone.
Lin Feng himself knows this, and he needs to fight harder and attack more resolutely.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the Chesapeake Energy Arena was very lively outside.
Thunder fans who have been holding back for nearly ten days have finally ushered in their first home game in the playoffs. You don’t have to think about what kind of scene it will be.
The team entered the bus and prepared to go to the stadium.
"How about winning the game tonight and then we go to the bar to have fun."
After getting in the car, Kuzma gave him a look.
“Good attention.”
Lin Feng nodded, "Call Yingge, that guy is absent for so long, he needs to pay for the money for the wine."
Hart agreed that during Yingge's absence, the team fell from No. 1 to No. 3 in the West, and his responsibility was heavy, although venous thrombosis was not something Yingge could control himself.
Sitting by the window, Lin Feng suddenly found a little girl standing at the door of the hotel wearing her jersey. Unexpectedly, she would meet her fans.
He looked at his watch and it was five minutes before departure, so Lin Feng quickly got out of the car and trotted over.
The little girl was very excited when she saw Lin Feng. He looked twelve or thirteen years old, much younger than Ursula.
"Hey, are you from Los Angeles? Or New York?"
Lin Feng asked with a smile.
When I saw my idol, the little girl shook her head happily, "I am a local, but I really like to see how you play basketball."
He was a little shy, which made Lin Feng a little embarrassed.
"Haha, it's hard to imagine you not going to Westbrook but looking for me. I'm glad to know you. Can you tell me your name?"
"Sherry."
“Great name, I love it.”
He took the little girl's cell phone and took a photo, then posted it on his personal Twitter, writing: "My little fan."
"To be honest, I'm very confused because I like you and Thunder, after all, I'm a local."
Shirley sniffed, and Lin Feng smiled, "Then if we win tonight, will you be happy or sad!"
Shirley thought for a while and said, "I'm sad for losing the Thunder, I'm happy for winning the game. By the way, Gary, I have to tell you a secret, that is, I don't like Kyle Kuzma very much, because he always likes to be handsome, but in fact he's not as good as you at all."
Lin Feng was happy and looked back at Kuzma on the car window. The guy was still waving to him.
"Can you keep the secret for me?" Shirley asked naively.
Lin Feng nodded with a smile, "Of course, I promise. Also, remember to tweet me on Twitter after the game."
Her parents were waiting not far away, and it seemed that they would go to watch the football scene tonight.
Back in the car, Kuzma saw that he was laughing.
"What happened? I feel like the little girl's expression is not beautiful when she looks at me."
Lin Feng spread his hands, "She called Shirley, and asked me to tell her that she likes you very much, handsome, handsome, young and energetic."
Kuzma's old face turned red, and this was the first time a man praised this in person.
Later, LeBron got into the car and brimmed his teammates from the front to the back.
"Isn't it a good night? Let's have a big fight."
"Sher, my traffic package is expired. Gary, help me open a hotspot."
Through the sincere eyes of Old Zhan, Lin Feng saw his stingy heart.
Helplessly, Lin Feng silently took out his mobile phone and turned on the hot spots, and contributed his traffic.
Soon, the phone prompted ten people to connect to his hot spot. Looking back, these guys were still indifferent to their faces and hearts, as if nothing had happened.
"I'll go to the team to ask for this part of the money."
It takes about twenty minutes to get from the hotel to the stadium, and you have to get off before you have time to take a break.
The light screen on the exterior wall of the Chesapeake Energy Arena turned blue, just like the Thunder's home jersey.
Many "blue sportswear" were playing outside. When they saw the Lakers' bus, the guys screamed, obviously not welcome but ridicule.
Lin Feng was mentally prepared, but he still smiled and waved to the Thunder fans.
"To be honest, Oklahoma's football market is good, they have a solid crowd." LeBron said in a low voice.
When Harden and Durant were still here, it was the happiest time for Thunder fans. They had three young players with top potential in the league and could definitely win the championship.
But now, Thunder is like an ocean-going ship gradually falling to the sea level, struggling to keep itself for a while.
