Before the second round schedule was announced, a playoff team had three days to play in the playoffs, and this was the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Clippers have been waiting for the schedule date of the second round before this, so the team can only maintain their state through training, re-watch the video of the game against the San Antonio Spurs, and analyze the next round opponent Utah Jazz.

Head coach Dunleavy Sr. said of maintaining the team's consistency, saying: "This kind of preparation training is too difficult. We need to motivate these players. In training, we always simulate a quarter or the last moment of the game. This kind of competition can keep them in shape."

Who would the Jazz and Rockets prefer to meet? They were also asked this question.

Old Dunleavy said that he and the coaching staff are very familiar with both teams. It doesn't matter which team the opponent is, what is important is how to quickly return to the game state. Old Dunleavy specifically reminded the coaching staff to pay attention to how the two teams defend their opponents, which is very important, and the Clippers believe that the league's schedule is beneficial to them.

Nash and Yao Ming, who were eliminated in the first round, have accepted the invitation from the twins. The two frustrated people are preparing to come to Los Angeles to watch the twins' home game in the third game.

Yao Ming, a player who hates the Jazz the most, said in Houston before the game: "This will be a very hard round of competition. Although I hate that team, the Jazz are very good at executing tactics. And there are two stars, Deron Williams and Carlos Boozer. Therefore, the Clippers must focus on their defense first. However, I have confidence in their defense. After all, they defended the GDP combination, and the schedule is beneficial to the Clippers."

Nash is very optimistic about the state that the twins showed in the Clippers' Black Eight Spurs game. Feng Zi said: "The Clippers' current playing style is perfect. Their bench can provide role, and the starting five players cooperate well. The role of the twins' inside line is reflected in the playoffs. The brother can be called a flag on the defensive end, and the younger brother also showed dominance on the offensive end. This is the most perfect inside line combination. I look forward to joining forces with them in the national team."

On May 1, 2008, the Clippers will be playing the second round of the opening game in Salt Lake City tonight. At 10 o'clock in the morning, Ji Guomeng was preparing to go out at Taylor Swift's house; on the other hand, the Panda brother was also packing his luggage at Twilight Girl's house. They didn't have much to bring, mp3, headphones, mobile phones, a laptop, and a Nike/Adidas backpack were all installed.

Taylor Swift kissed the little fox and then said, "You go to the UK to shoot commercials during the offseason, and I want to go with you."

Ji Guomo was so sad when he heard this. Isn’t this surveillance?

Taylor Swift seemed to see through what he was thinking and continued: "I'm not monitoring you, I have business activities when I go to the UK."

Ji Guomeng sighed in his heart, and said with a sarcastic smile on his face: "Okay, let's go to cheat money together in summer. Those British guys are not good things, and those who have more money are stupid."

There was no Taylor Swift on the side of Christine. The Twilight Girl helped the Panda brother sort out the collar, and then smiled softly: "I was interviewed yesterday by the media and asked me if I was in a relationship with you. I don't know if you agree or not to expose our relationship, so I didn't admit it."

Ji Guochou hurriedly said, "Well done, your career is in the rising period now, and it will be good for you to stay single." Of course, this giant panda doesn't want the relationship to be exposed. He has a shredded radish on his side. Isn't it done as soon as it is exposed?

The Clippers gathered at noon and had a special pre-match lunch configured by the team. The team boarded the plane to Salt Lake City. They were going to play the first game of the second round with the Utah Jazz in the evening.

After the second round of the Western Conference was released, the Jazz team knew that their sixth game with the Rockets. The most enthusiastic audience did not sit in the energy solution center. On the far west coast, a group of Clippers players were staring at the TV, waiting for the laws of nature to select the next prey for them.

The joy of the Jazz defeating the Rockets did not last long. In less than 48 hours, the Jazz will usher in a more cruel second round series. The schedule is very unfavorable to them. Their advantage in the first away game is not so obvious. The physical crisis has caused them to carry a large time bomb.

"What else do I have to say about such a schedule?" Jazz coach Sloan said half-jokingly: "This arrangement is good for me. If we are eliminated, I have another excuse. If something nice, I will say that a truly outstanding team will not be affected by the schedule. We will play whatever we want."

Having said that, the Jazz's next journey is not optimistic. The league's schedule is obviously inclined to the Clippers. They want to turn the Western Conference Finals into a Los Angeles derby and increase the playoff ratings. Everyone knows this. After all, there are not many people who like to watch Jazz's muscles play rugby on the basketball court, and the protests of Salt Lake City fans were completely ignored.

Turkey's top striker Oku said at the pre-match press conference: "The Clippers are a team that cannot be underestimated. They have many excellent players. The Finals MVP, All-Star MVP, the best defensive player, anyway, all kinds of MVP..."

Carlos Boozer said before the game: "From the first day they said we can't do this and that, we use these as motivation to move forward. People have always been not optimistic about us, but now you see, we have come to this point and we will continue to move forward."

The Jazz are like last year, Deron Williams is in overall control, Carlos Boozer attacks the inside and Memit Oku bombs the outside. Although Derek Fisher switches to the Los Angeles Lakers, the joining of the god pitcher Kyle Korver effectively makes up for Fisher's lack. Korver's integration into the Jazz system is as perfect as wearing gloves.

Three-pointer Kyle Korver said before the game: "The way this team plays, and my own style of play is like being born for each other. I am a pitcher. I can open the opponent's defense and create more space for Carlos, Deron and Memit to prevent opponents from double-teaming defense against them. This works very well, and we are confident of defeating the Clippers."

Jazz players have just defeated the Rockets. They are full of confidence in defeating the Clippers, but there are also people in Salt Lake City who dare to express their opposite views. The Los Angeles Galaxy happened to challenge Real Salt Lake City here yesterday. The team star David Beckham said: "The Jazz has no chance at all! Sorry, I don't want to offend anyone. I also admit that the Jazz is an amazing team, but I am a Clippers fan, and my sons like that fox."

Beckham was a football player who ran to watch the basketball game. Many people complained, "Aren't you a Lakers fan?" When did you become a Clippers fan again? Also, your adjective "sons" scolded at least tens of millions of people at once?

Mobley, one of the heroes of the Spurs in the first round, said: "Compared to the beginning of the season, we are already a brand new team. Regardless of how we played last year, this year we have shown the world our ability to win games, which is the most basic. The difference this season is that no one expected us to make the playoffs at the beginning of the season, and after entering the playoffs, all the media predicted that we would leave in the first round. Now we have become the fourth Black Eight team, I think there is no burden on our shoulders, and there is no greater pressure than before Black Eight."

"In the series against the Spurs, we learned how to use our strengths to attack the opponent's weaknesses. Our starting lineup has no weaknesses, and our lineup structure is one of the most reasonable teams in the league, so as long as we don't make mistakes, no one can defeat us."

Of course, Old Dunleavy looks full of confidence, but for the Clippers, the Jazz are not a good bone to chew. Their only flaw is their away record. The Jazz are almost invincible in Salt Lake City (37 wins and 4 losses in the regular season), but only 17 wins and 24 losses away.

If the Clippers want to grab at least one away game, they must find some countermeasures.

In the first round series with the Spurs, the Clippers' foul tactics made Tim Duncan and the Spurs suffer a lot. The Jazz are similar to the Spurs, and their free throw shooting percentage in the first round was only 72.5%, while Brewer and Boozer's free throw shooting percentage did not exceed 65%.

So, will the Clippers use foul tactics again in the second round for this loophole in the Jazz? Although this tactic has been responsibilities and criticized by many people, it is believed that this way of winning is difficult to be at ease.

Dunleavy, facing such a question, said bluntly: "I don't know what the so-called peace of mind means. I only know that this tactic is in line with the rules of the league, and the Spurs use the most foul tactics, and **Vic said nothing."

TNT ace Charles Barkley put forward his opinion before the game: "The Utah Jazz eliminated the Rockets with a total score of 4:2 to advance. Although they defeated the Rockets, some of the team's victory was not convincing. Facing the Rockets, the Jazz played very hard, and Boozer's performance was not satisfactory. Without Deron Williams' outbreak in the third quarter of the sixth game, the Jazz might fall into a more difficult battle. For the Jazz, tomorrow to grab the home advantage, Deron Williams and Boozer, as the team leaders, must make greater contributions, Oku needs to have a better star on the outside, Kirilenko and Ronnie Brewer must try to curb the Clippers' backcourt, and the team's substitutes must bring more help."

Before the opening of the second round, both teams issued a declaration of victory, but whoever can win the first game still needs to see the true story in the game! (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
