On May 8, after two days of rest, the Western Conference semifinals kicked off.

The Los Angeles Clippers will challenge the Los Angeles Lakers "away" in Los Angeles.

This is the first time the two teams from the City of Angels have met in the playoffs since the Clippers relocated to Los Angeles in 1984.

The Clippers have long been a big team, always in the huge shadow of the yellow robe king.

Their best playoff result was the 2006 Western Conference Semifinals.

Winning a Pacific Division championship in the regular season is like a treasure, hanging above the arena.

Compared with the Lakers, the top two giants in NBA history, it is really shabby.

After getting Chris Paul and selecting Griffin, the Clippers finally got some improvement.

After defeating the Nuggets in the first round, they got the chance to challenge the Lakers in the playoffs.

This round of competition has undoubtedly received great attention.

In the past two days, the Los Angeles media have been making predictions and reports before the game in turn, showing the great significance of this round of competition.

There is no doubt that this is a feast for Los Angeles sports fans and media.

They don't have to run around, go to rural places like San Antonio or Oklahoma City.

As long as you stay in Los Angeles, you can follow this round of the series.

It is also a good thing for the players on both sides. Regardless of the home and away games, they do not need to leave Los Angeles, or even change arenas.

Of course, it is not so friendly to the Clippers, because the seven games may be away games.

This round of the series has become the most watched matchup between the East and the West.

On the day of the game, the Lakers and Clippers went to Staples in turn for warm-up exercises, and players from both sides were interviewed.

The Clippers players are still relatively modest and cautious. Both Griffin and Jordan said that this is an opportunity to show the strength of the Clippers to Los Angeles fans.

In fact, it's just nonsense. The regular season gave you a chance to show it. Did you show it?

It was the boss Chris Paul who stood up and said: "It is the first time in history that two teams in Los Angeles will play in the playoffs, so there will be a lot of people paying attention. We are an excellent team, and the series Winning or losing depends on the present, not the past, nor the future. If we can win, it is because we are strong enough, and it has nothing to do with how we were before. We will prove this to everyone.”

This is a lot more direct, and the translation is that "No matter how rich the ancestors of Los Angeles are, it is also a matter of the ancestors. Now whoever wins or loses depends on the strength, and the Clippers have this strength."

In fact, not only Paul said so, but others, including some reporters in Los Angeles, also predicted that the Clippers have a chance to eliminate the Lakers.

Although they only advanced in seven games in the first round, their opponent is the Nuggets, which are strong.

The Lakers swept in the first round, and their opponent was only the Rockets.

Sometimes playing a lot is not necessarily a bad thing, as long as there is no injury, it is a kind of training for the team's lineup and players' adaptability.

On the contrary, a team like the Lakers that eliminated opponents early and waited is likely to be rested.

Of course, this is only the opinion of a small part of the Los Angeles media, and more are still optimistic about the Lakers.

In the first round of the game, the Lakers showed strong strength.

And everyone feels that the potential of the Lakers has not been discovered.

Howard on the inside, Gasol on the bench, and even Li Liang.

Except for Li Liang's three-point explosion in the fourth game, the statistics of the other three games are quite satisfactory.

There is no problem with his performance on the field, but he obviously feels that he has not exerted his strength, and he has not played with that passionate feeling.

Maybe it's because the Rockets are too weak, and it's not worth Li Liang's serious shot.

After the game, some experts analyzed and supported this statement. They counted the data of Li Liang's running and shots in the first round, and compared them with the regular season.

The conclusion reached was that Li Liang was just paddling.

This made the media in Los Angeles jump in their hearts. A rookie can still do so well in the playoffs.

The last time the person who played the playoffs so easily was Kobe.

If you voted for a three-pointer, you dare to vote for another three. This is easy enough to a certain extent.

In addition, Li Liang always likes to say amazing words before the game, and the reporters can't wait.

At the Lakers' public training in the afternoon, a bunch of reporters had already gathered in front of Li Liang's locker.

Li Liang knew in his heart what these flies wanted, wasn't it just talk?

In fact, Li Liang doesn't like to speak loudly. He is quite helpless about his personality becoming "Los Angeles Mouth".

In fact, he is very private. He does not contact any reporters in Los Angeles on weekdays, and only keeps Wei Dazhi as a channel to speak out.

People with a little common sense should be able to see that he is not a big mouth, he is a person who likes to keep secrets.

It's a pity that after doing a few tasks and using a hair dryer a few times, it ruined its reputation.

This time, Li Liang thought, he couldn't make more mistakes, and avoided all the tricky questions from the reporters.

"What are your thoughts on this Los Angeles derby, Bruce Lee?"

a reporter asked.

Li Liang thought, what else can I think, of course I want to win?

Or do you want to go back to China to fish?

Just as Li Liang was about to answer this question, the subtitles flashed in front of his eyes.

"Damn it, Pill, the system is going to send me a task..."

Li Liang still wanted to show his elegant and easy-going image, but the system shattered his wish again.

[Mission, Los Angeles mouthpiece, mission requirement: show the media the confidence to defeat the Clippers, the stronger the better, mission reward: special item]

No way, Li Liang pinched his nose to show confidence, I never lack confidence.

"For this round of the series, I would like to say that it will end in Los Angeles." Li Liang said some nonsense first, which amused everyone.

He continued: "The Clippers are a strong team. I watched their games. Their tactics and fighting spirit are very good. But they have a lot of flaws. They are on the wing, on the outside. In terms of flexibility inside, they lack flexibility. Also, they lack experience in the playoffs, which is the advantage that the Lakers have. Therefore, we will definitely win, for sure.”

Li Liang's words were straightforward enough, and the reporters knew what was coming.

Chris Paul and Li Liang, tit for tat.

But the system didn't prompt that the task was completed, Li Liang scratched his head, this damn is not confident enough, do I have to use a unique trick?

At this time, the reporter just asked: "You said that the series will end in Los Angeles, but all seven games will be in Los Angeles. Which one will it be?"

Li Liang was waiting for this question. He stretched out four fingers and said, "FO, FO~"

He imitated the southern Virginia accent of Moses Malone's "fo, fo, fo" in the past, and said the two words.

This is what sweep means.

The Lakers have already swept the Rockets in the first round of the series, so the second FO must be to sweep the Clippers!

Bruce Lee is no less than Bruce Lee, and he has always spoken amazingly.

Needless to say, tonight's game is even more exciting!

Li Liang's remarks about sweeping the Clippers will inevitably spread across the Internet in an instant, and will immediately reach the ears of the Clippers players.

It will be very interesting to see what kind of sparks will be created on both sides.

Especially in the first game, if the Lakers lose, it will be a big embarrassment.

Although the majority of fans in Los Angeles support the Lakers, there are definitely many who want to see the Lakers make a fool of themselves.

Especially in areas outside Los Angeles, the black lake is everywhere.

And Li Liang finally completed his task:

[Congratulations on completing the task, you have obtained the achievement "Los Angeles Mouth Cannon" and the reward: Preface to the City of Angels Book (Part 2)]

Li Liang didn't expect that the next prologue of the City of Angels book that he had been thinking about so much, he got it at this time.
