Chapter 596 The strongest Kobe, the strongest Clippers! (6K, slowly recovering(1/3)
When the Warriors and the Mavericks decided the victory or defeat in the tiebreak, the East and West had already entered the division finals.
At this time, the combat situation of the remaining groups.
In the Western Conference, the Clippers swept the Hornets 4-0 in the first round and gave the "58 Long" a solid hit, and then encountered the defending champion Nuggets in the semi-finals.
The Nuggets also beat the Trail Blazers 4-1 in the first round to reach the semi-finals.
These two teams also met on a narrow road.
However, the game was a little different from what many people imagined as "Mars collided with the Earth".
The Clippers demonstrated their offense and defense ability one level higher throughout the series.
Especially Kobe averaged 33 points per game in the entire series, with a shooting percentage of up to 49%, which was terrible.
In the end, the Clippers also eliminated the defending champion 4-1.
Kobe also successfully took revenge on James and the Nuggets and returned to the division finals.
To put it in a description, Kobe is now a ghost knight from hell, opening the road to revenge for everyone.
And his last opponent in the West is Sun Hao!
Let’s talk about the Eastern Conference, the Wizards and Pistons that were most popular in the first round.
McGrady showed courage after getting the closed injection, but what is different from history is that Yao Ming's dominance is much stronger.
After MM regained its top competitiveness, the Wizards were full of momentum, winning four consecutive victories, and directly reversed 4-3 and eliminated the Pistons into the second round.
This song was heart-wrenching and really made people lose their skin.
And their opponent in the semi-finals of the division is determined to win the championship... Magic!
Howard's ten thousand words in his mind were not enough to describe it. This is the Nth time he has faced Yao Ming.
Not to mention fighting, he was already half scared before he started fighting.
You should know that it was McGrady who was injured, and Yao Ming was very healthy!
The result of this round of competition was also expected by many people at the beginning.
Although the Magic's overall strength is stronger than last year, they still lost 2-4 to the end.
Howard's dream of winning was ruthlessly ended the moment he met Yao Ming.
The Wizards defeated the strong enemies continuously and entered the Eastern Conference Finals without being favored by everyone!
This scene is even more exciting than the Warriors in the West.
Many people even think of the Houston team led by Olajuwon.
Although the Wizards have not won the championship yet, they are at least the Eastern Conference champions.
In the East, don’t underestimate the heart of an Eastern champion!
The Wizards' opponent in the Eastern Conference Finals is the Celtics.
The Celtics' playoff journey continues their old style and keeps playing with their opponents.
After eliminating the Heat 4-2 in the first round, the second round played against the Bulls and it was dark and it was only after the tiebreaker.
Then, Paul missed the East Final Floor again.
Compared with the Celtics, the overall strength of the Wizards is definitely weaker.
But after experiencing the first two rounds, no one dared to underestimate them anymore.
In any case, this year's things have a lot of highlights.
Just as the division final was about to start, the league announced the final ownership of the MVP.
This year is a fight between gods and immortals, and the ownership of this MVP is also quite eye-catching.
In the end, Howard of the Magic thrillingly defeated Kobe, Nowitzki and other opponents, and was elected MVP for the first time in his career.
Well… Another MVP who was eliminated when winning the award…
Including the previous Nowitzki, Kobe, and MVP also have a curse!
And Howard's mood may be more complicated, because if it weren't for Yao Ming...
He is like the old version of DeRozan!
In addition to MVP, there is another thing that is more eye-catching.
Curry, who had already soared to the top three picks, suddenly had a hidden danger of ankle injury, which made his draft market fall a lot compared to before.
Although it is still a lottery, it has fallen to around tenth in the draft prediction list.
Of course, the playoffs were in full swing at this time, and not many people paid attention to this.
Sun Hao also worked with the Warriors teammates to prepare for the Western Conference Finals.
Oakland, the Warriors players were unprecedentedly excited.
They really never dreamed of playing in the Western Conference Finals for the first time to enter the playoffs.
You must know that this is the dream of a certain 183 student in the East!
Sure enough, people are more angry than others.
While excited, the expectations of these young men of the Warriors for the season have also increased a lot.
The division finals can no longer satisfy them, and even the division champions cannot. They are now thinking about the championship!
Of course, they are improving every round.
The Mavericks suffered a big defeat in the opening game, letting them know that they had to quickly get into the state in the first game of the playoffs, otherwise they would be hit by their opponents head-on.
Not to mention this Clippers, this is the mutated version of the classic Lakers in history.
Or it should be the plus version.
Not to mention the role players like Sun Yue with great strength, the most important thing is that Kobe is stronger than the same period in history.
Not only strength, but also fighting spirit.
After many failures accumulated, he only fought for success this year.
The day before the start of the Western Conference Finals, the Warriors were doing their final preparations for the game.
During the training class, Durant was wearing dark circles like a giant panda.
Although the Warriors can reach the Western Conference Finals, it is closely related to Sun Hao, but Durant's role cannot be ignored.
Others fight for next year, he is talented, and he is now.
After the training class, the two sat on the sidelines and chatted.
What the two of them are talking about is naturally going to be tomorrow's game.
And the focus of the chat is Kobe.

"Who do you think will be better against Kobe, Sean or Kelanner?"
Durant asked.
Sun Hao shook his head.
This is not a multiple-choice question, but a multiple-choice question.
No one's defense will be very good.
"Is it really that level? Just like you?"
Durant asked.
Although he didn't play against the Clippers in the regular season, his intuitive feeling was not that strong because the two of them were not in line.
Sun Hao nodded.
"He is not much worse than me now. As long as he has teammates who have stable performance, he can dominate the field. The Clippers now meet this condition."
There is no exaggeration in Sun Hao's words.
Although Kobe is still the first defender to score, he has a strong sense of passing when he matures.
Especially this year, under the burning of the fire of revenge in his heart, he was already in a state of ease, or it could be said to be "Zone".
That's right, so many years of failures have kept him in this state all year.
"You should still remember the US team lost to China in Beijing at the Olympics last year?"
Sun Hao then suddenly spoke.
Durante nodded.
To be honest, that was something he didn't expect, after all, the American team sent out almost the strongest lineup.
Of course he didn't care too much, after all, Americans' patriotism is more in movies, and in reality they most admire freedom.
Moreover, losing to the Chinese team is acceptable in his opinion, after all, that is Sun Hao's team!
"I heard that Kobe put the Olympic silver medal in his closet in the most obvious position, just to keep reminding him how much he had failed."
To be continued...
