Chris Paul took a gamble-style steal, and when Fanci stopped at the top of the three-point arc to control the rhythm, Paul lost his cool.
But the steal was unsuccessful this time. Fan Xi easily pulled the basketball to the other side, reached the free throw line, and then passed it to Nowitzki. Nowitzki did not hesitate. He used a golden rooster independent jumper to score.
Expanded to 13 points.
Then, Kobe Bryant took over the ball, but his shot missed.
The Lakers lost hope of winning the game.
Although they worked hard throughout the process, the ending of the story did not turn out as they wished.
It's like ice cubes melting in water.
The nearly 20,000 Lakers fans at Staples Center fell into silence. They couldn't believe that the game ended like this. It had always been a close match, but in the last two or three minutes, the situation suddenly changed.
Fanci controlled the rhythm, Paul committed a foul, Fanci went to the free throw line and made two free throws.
Chris Paul missed a three-pointer.
Paul continued to foul, and he accumulated six fouls and was dismissed.
Fanshi hit 2 free throws.
D'Antoni declares garbage time has arrived.
The first Western Conference Finals was ultimately sealed with the Clippers victory.
The Clippers have established a road advantage, even though the games are all played at Staples Center.
When the final whistle sounded, the two to three thousand Clippers fans in Staples Arena were suppressed by several times the Lakers fans and let out deafening cheers throughout the game.
They shouted in unison: mvp! mvp! mvp!
Fan Xi raised her hands in the air.
He waved around as he deserved.
"We always win."
Arenas was interviewed by reporters. He is the external spokesman: "We are already considering our opponents in the finals."
Arenas is always comfortable speaking these arrogant words, and reporters are used to his speeches.
ESPN even dug a hole for him: "So do you think you can sweep the Lakers and advance?"
"It does not matter."
Arenas was not fooled, he still had some calm thinking.
Not far away from him, in the players' tunnel, Fan Xi and Yao Ming were being interviewed by Chinese media.
They communicated in Chinese, which made foreign reporters envious.
Yao Ming talked about the feeling of the first Western Conference finals in his career. "I was very excited. I played for a few minutes in the beginning. I was thinking a lot at the time. Before the start of this season, I didn't think I could return to the game again.
I didn’t even expect to be able to play in the Western Conference Finals with the Lakers.”
"My performance was pretty good. I rate myself 9 points. Whether it is tactically or strategically, I have brought great help to the team."
"I'm not here for a casual meal, Boss Fan."
Yao Ming said jokingly.
Fan Xi gave a thumbs up and praised Yao Ming: "He is still an All-Star. Having him in the paint is equivalent to having a nuclear bomb. Although we can use it, they must be wary."
"Boss Yao gave us a good start tonight. As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. Tonight's opening three blows disrupted the Lakers' plan, and that's how we won this game."
"Winning the first victory is the first step in a long journey. Although it is worth being happy, we must also be cautiously optimistic. The Lakers were a little unfocused at the end of the game and we seized the opportunity. We cannot expect them to be like this in every game.
"
"The Eastern side is not easy to predict. They all have a chance to win."
"We have to wait until the games are over to discuss the Olympics. I hope Boss Yao can play in another Olympics, but his body needs more rest now. He has already paid too much for the national team."
Fan Xi talked eloquently and said a lot.
When talking about the national team's Olympics matters, Yao Ming added: "If the national team needs it, I am willing to go to London."
For Yao Ming, he has worked hard for the national team his entire life.
He knew that Fan Xi was concerned about his health, but Yao Ming had a bigger ambition in his heart. He wanted to enter the semi-finals, and he wanted to win an Olympic medal.
This is one of the two biggest goals in his basketball career, and it is even higher than the NBA championship.
Previously, both goals were out of reach.
Now, the NBA championship is getting closer and closer.
Olympic medals, it seems, are no longer just fishing for the moon.
With Fan Xi's blessing and him, even if Fiba's number one center only has the ability to reach the top three, he is confident that he can lead the national team to a further step.
If there was no breakthrough at home in 2008, there may not be no chance of breakthrough this time in London.
Seeing Yao Ming's determination, Fan Xi felt only admiration in her heart.
After the interview, when they walked to the locker room together, Yao Ming said to Fan Xi: "I have retired once, and now for me, every game I play is a profit. Don't treat me like
Put it away as a work of art."
Fan Xi took a deep look at Yao Ming.
He discovered that the little giant was not just tall in stature.
…
The Clippers were wildly celebrating their first victory in the Western Conference Finals. There were traces of champagne spraying everywhere in the locker room. This was brought by Grant Hill.
Hill is one of the oldest players in the league today. He was at the top when he debuted. He was Jordan's successor and was even more popular than Jordan for a while. But... this is the first time in his career that he has played in the Western Conference Finals.
He has also transformed from a young boy back then to the most stable and elegant leader in the locker room today, and his style of play has changed from violent assault to the selfless 3D he is today.
He actually didn't have many playing opportunities this season, but he passed on more experience to Butler and Leonard. There are many reasons why Butler and Leonard achieved such great success in their rookie seasons.
"Hey, dear Uncle Grant, if you take out the 10-year-old champagne tonight, then by the time of the finals, you will at least open a few bottles of Romanee-Conti in your cellar."
Fancy teases Grant Hill.
Hill is a red wine collector. He once displayed the wine cellar in his mansion and a variety of red wines. He even had a dedicated wine estate in France.
In terms of life, he is a very emotional and successful man.
"Of course there is no problem. Jack, I can guarantee that every drop of champagne we spray on the float after winning the championship is worth a lot of money."
Grant Hill raised his eyebrows and said confidently.
Fan Xi smiled and nodded: "That's what you said, uncle."
"It's a deal." Uncle Hill was very angry.
…
It was completely different from the joy in the Clippers locker room.
The air in the Lakers locker room seemed to have frozen, even though Los Angeles was already experiencing some scorching weather at the end of May.
Kobe was livid. He walked into the locker room 10 minutes ago and said, "We need to review this game."
Then...the assistant coach began to play clips of the game quietly in the locker room.
This is a habit that Phil Jackson retained.
Everyone sat there quietly, following Kobe and quietly watching the bits and pieces on the screen.
