The Basketball Court Swordsman

April 15th, Bay Area, Oracle Arena.

The Golden State Warriors, considered to be the champion of this year, continue to face the Los Angeles Clippers at home, and the two teams will start the second game of the series.

In the first game, the Clippers made the league realize their strength. Although ultimately lost to the Warriors, but this team without a superstar can compete with the Warriors and let them into desperation, this is already an honor.

So today, everyone is looking forward to one thing-whether the Clippers can overthrow the Warriors in one go!

This game did not disappoint the fans. Once again, the Los Angeles Clippers, who were deemed to have no chance, left scars on the Warriors.

Among the Clippers' starting lineup, "Italian Cannon" Danilo Gallinari played well, and he once faced Durant on the offensive end.

Gallinari's mid- and long-range shots have greatly tested the Warriors' defense.

Of course, fans familiar with the Clippers know that the starting lineup is far from the Clippers' strongest lineup. When Luis Williams and Montres Harrell played successively, the Clippers' firepower became stronger.

This is the Los Angeles Clippers. They don't have superstars, but everyone on the court can make a difference. They don't have a title, but they vowed to drag the league's most luxurious team into the mud.

In the first half, the Warriors almost sank the Clippers with a wave of 40 points in a single quarter. At the end of the game, the Warriors led by 31 points at most.

But in the third quarter, the Clippers launched a Jedi counterattack. Louis Williams can not only attack on his own, but also accurately deliver the ball to his teammates in double-teams.

That's right, double-teaming. Steve Kerr may not have thought that he would be killed by his own dignified cosmic warrior, but he would be forced to use double-teaming by the eighth in the west.

The terrible Louis Williams and the collective increase in the Clippers' three-pointers made the point difference begin to close. In the end, with this amazing perseverance and the outstanding performance of the players, the Clippers froze the Golden State Warriors away and won a game victory. He got his wish and bit a piece of meat from the mighty warrior!

"In an incredible game, with 31 points behind the Warriors at most, the Clippers actually completed a shocking turnaround! They won the game, they won the respect, they are the real fighters!"

After the game, all the media and commentators all over the world admired the Clippers' performance. Because even if the Pacers are 31 points behind the Warriors, they may not be able to complete the reversal. In the middle of the third quarter, people didn't even see any possibility that the Clippers could win.

You know, after Durant joined the Warriors, the Warriors only lost two teams in the playoffs at home. One is Henson's Pacers, and the other is the Rockets with 65 wins in the regular season last year, and they are as strong as LeBron James. He failed to capture any home games in Oakland.

But today, the grassroots Clippers did it.

For another comparison, five of the Warriors were selected to the All-Star last season, and the Clippers don’t mention last season. None of the Clippers’ players have been selected even once in their careers. The Warriors have 6 The total number of players selected to the All-Star is 29 times.

Such a huge gap between the two teams and such a huge point difference in this game made the Clippers famous. Regardless of the final result of this series, whether this year the Clippers are eighth in the Western Conference or first in the Western Conference. But the victory in this game has been enough for the Clippers to blow for a lifetime.

For them, this is glory!

After the game, various basketball commentators and coaches all affirmed the Clippers' performance. Among them, the local media in Detroit are still the most vigorous. The Clippers killed the Warriors away, undoubtedly using actions to prove the truthfulness of the phrase "a miracle happened here."

As long as you are willing to work hard, as long as you are unwilling to give up, miracles will always happen.

The Pistons coach Devin Casey also joined in, and he became the most excited of all the coaches who commented on this matter. It was as if he led the team to take down the Warriors.

"There is no doubt that this is a great victory. The Clippers' victory tells us that nothing is absolute in the playoffs. This has greatly encouraged me and my players. We will train harder and harder. Then create our own miracles."

Even a fool knows what Casey means. After the first big defeat to defend the championship, Casey still believes that his team can perform miracles like the Clippers.

As far as the Pistons are concerned, they only need one game victory, and they can return to glory this season.

A Clippers-style victory is enough to change the attitude of all fans towards the Pistons.

Therefore, he pays so much attention to the Clippers and Warriors series. After all, the Clippers are now the spiritual pillar of Devin Casey. The Clippers' victory can always bring a touch of warmth and hope to the cruel playoffs.

But now the Pistons need hope most. If there is no hope, everything can really end early.

"Boss, did you watch the game last night?"

Early in the morning, Becky Harmon appeared in Henson's office with a cup of coffee. Now, it has become a habit of Becky Harmon to come to Henson's office every morning for a cup of coffee.

"Of course," Henson nodded, "What an impressive game."

"The Warriors must have lost very frustrated. It's not hard to imagine their angry expressions when they return to the locker room."

"Yeah, they must have been half-dead with anger. It is estimated that no one in the Warriors would have thought that they would suffer so much in front of the eighth in the West."

"Um...so Henson. We must also be careful in our game today. I am worried..."

"What are you worried about? Worried about the Detroit Pistons becoming the Los Angeles Clippers? Don't worry, they are not capable of becoming the Clippers. And we are not Golden State Warriors either."

Henson smiled slightly, and Henson had already read Devin Casey's remarks. It is not difficult to see the Pistons' yearning and obsession with defeating the Pacers. But Henson has proved the huge gap between the two sides in a game, but a victory in a game seems to be unable to completely destroy the confidence of the Pistons.

In that case, let them lose another game!

Casey is a good coach, but sometimes too idealistic. In the past, he always imagined that the Raptors could defeat the Cavaliers, but can DeRozan be on par with James?

Now, he imagines that the Pistons can beat the Pacers. Did this guy forget that just two days ago, his strongest player let Antetokounmpo score 41 points?

The Clippers’ success cannot be replicated, and the Warriors did not enter the playoffs. So, don't easily imitate the success of others. If success can be replicated, why are there so many losers in this world?

"If you are so confident, why did you come to study the game video early in the morning?" Becky Harmon pointed to Henson's screen. He thought that Henson was pretending to be calm, but actually silently chose to contain the Pistons. Method.

Henson is such a person, he doesn't like to show any emotions to the surface.

Hearing Harmon's question, Henson generously turned his computer screen to his female teaching assistant, who was also his successor.

Becky Harmon took a closer look and found that Henson was not studying the Pistons game video. Because on the court, a team wearing a green jersey is particularly conspicuous.

"You are..."

"Boston Celtics, I'm already researching my next opponent, Becky. There is no hope, no accidents and no miracles. The only thing the Detroit Pistons can get from me is defeat. I know, this may be cruel. . This is the playoffs, this is the battlefield. I will not allow any unplanned losses to appear."

Henson finished speaking and continued to watch the video. As for the piston? Henson didn't think he really needed to bother.

The Clippers reversed the Warriors with 31 points behind and won a great victory. This victory has been used by Devin Casey to spur and motivate himself.

But in the Bankers Life Arena, he didn't get the glory. As Henson said, the only thing the Detroit Pistons can get here is loss.

"Yesterday, the miracle that happened to the Clippers made everyone dream about today's game. But if the miracle can be replicated so easily, it is not a miracle."

On the commentary stage, Kenny Smith sighed boredly. Again, Henson once again used his powerful strength to tell the Pistons what the gap is.

Today, Henson unexpectedly dispatched his ultimate lineup, which is considered to be used against the five-star Warriors.

The result was only five minutes, and the ultimate lineup made the game lose its suspense. The Pistons really experienced what it means to defend and fail to defend, attack and fail to attack.

Halfway through the third quarter, the Pistons trailed the Pacers by 30 points. Until then, there were still people who believed that the Pistons could reverse. After all, that's how the Clippers won the game yesterday.

However, when the game ended, the points difference turned to 42 points... Miracles do not happen very often, and it is impossible for a person to live by dreaming about winning the lottery.

And Devin Casey's delusion to defeat the Pacers is actually no different from the delusion of winning the lottery.

42 points, the biggest difference in the playoffs this season. What reversal is good, what defeats the strong with the weak...Henson, who only showed his full strength for five minutes, told the Pistons, "Don't think too much, get ready for the holiday."

At the end of the game, Henson had the most reporters around him. People are very curious, why he suddenly sent the strongest ultimate lineup in the middle of the game.

In this regard, Henson's explanation made Devin Casey unforgettable.

"I just want to give my opponent a good time."

Happy, this is a right that only the executioner has. From the beginning, the Pistons have not been treated as opponents.

They are just a group of lambs, and they are still a group of dreaming lambs.

Casey stared blankly at the big screen, watching the **** 42-point difference. Although the next two games, the battlefield will be transferred to Detroit, the Pistons' home ground.

But this time, Casey did not have such a strong desire to win.

After two games, even those who are persistent can see that it is impossible for the Detroit Pistons to win, even if it is just a game victory.
