Seven Hundred and Sixty-Nine: There Will Be No More Accidents

After coming to Los Angeles, the Grizzlies didn't have the heart to enjoy the lavish metropolis life. After all, they're not here to visit Los Angeles, they're here to destroy the place.

Dave Jogel was sitting in the hotel room at this moment, facing the computer screen, pausing the video over and over again, making a recording, then continuing to watch the video, pausing again...

The work of the head coach is actually very boring, and the players can still release their passion on the basketball court. But the manager, even in the game, has to keep his cool and face the boring tactics one by one.

Since taking the Coach of the Year award, Jogel has worked harder. Of course he knows that his best coach is indeed the light of the team's record. But he doesn't want others to think he's completely incompetent, and he's eager to prove that he's also made a huge contribution to this year's 74 wins.

After watching clips of the Clippers and getting ready for tomorrow's game, Joger rubbed his eyes. After a five-minute rest, he was ready to continue watching the Thunder's game video and prepare for the Western Conference finals in advance.

Preparing for the next opponent in advance is a habit that Joger has developed from last season. In the first two rounds of the playoffs, the Grizzlies generally do not entangle their opponents for too long, which undoubtedly gives the coach more confidence and time.

Jogel firmly believes that the Grizzlies will definitely pass the Clippers, so they can confidently prepare for the next round of opponents in advance.

It sounds like this adds a lot of work, but it's not.

In the current situation, Joger has no need to devote all his energy to the Clippers. He believes that Rivers is already struggling enough to deal with the Grizzlies, but even if Joerger puts some of his energy into the Thunder, it will still be enough.

To put it bluntly, the stronger party always controls the initiative. Not just the initiative in this round of the series, but the initiative in the entire playoffs!

Just as Joger was about to watch the video of the Thunder's game, there was a knock on the door of his room.

Jogel looked at the time on the computer screen, it was already 10:30 pm now, who would come to him?

After looking out through the cat's eye on the door, Jorge immediately opened the door.

Standing at his door at this time is this season's regular season MVP and the first unanimous MVP in NBA history, Link.

"Still watching the video?" Link greeted Jogel with a smile, and then walked into the head coach's room.

"Yeah, why are you still not sleeping? The third game is going to be played tomorrow night." Jogel closed the door and poured Link a glass of water.

"It's alright, we can do it well, hehe. Believe me, the third game is at Staples, and there won't be any more accidents." Link shook his head. Although he won the first two games, he was very unhappy to win. .

The first game was being beaten by Paul in the first half, and the second game was almost overturning in the last 8 minutes. These two games, the Grizzlies actually won not be as easy as the outside world thinks.

Although fans would definitely prefer to watch this kind of thrilling game, but as a player, the more boring the game was won, the happier he was.

After all, the less unexpected the game, the easier it is to play.

"Of course I believe in you. After the last game, the Clippers may not have any confidence. You have to protect yourself.

I see the Clippers' move has been getting bigger and bigger. "

"Huh, eh? Are you watching the video of the Thunder's game?" Link glanced at the computer screen, that's what he came here for today!

"Yeah, we have to prepare for the next round of the series. Although it is an old opponent, the Thunder has changed quite a lot this year." Jogel smiled. In this year's regular season, the Thunder and the Grizzlies have a better record. It's a 2-2 draw.

As far as the regular season record is concerned, the Thunder are a close opponent to the Grizzlies. Jogel attaches great importance to the Thunder, because the regular season records of the two sides have proved that the Grizzlies have not found a way to completely restrain the Thunder.

"Yeah, we have to prepare for the next round. However, I think we should study the San Antonio Spurs first." Link cut to the chase. He came to Joger today to remind him of this.

"Spurs? Yeah, they beat the Thunder by 23 points last game, it was horrible. But, that's because Durant only got 15 points because of his poor feel. He and Westbrook got together and they got it too. 30 points. Under normal circumstances, Durant can score 30 points alone. Therefore, I don’t think the reference value of the last game is very big.” Jogel waved his hand. Under normal circumstances, naturally no one believes it now. Leonard's little transparency can prevent scoring champions.

"No, I don't think Durant's bad shooting percentage yesterday was as simple as a poor feel. After the Thunder lacked Ibaka, Duncan was free to choose to defend Durant. After all, the Thunder's remaining two insiders Nick Collison and Perkins have no offense. Also, Leonard is definitely not the same as he was in the regular season."

"Oh?" Jogel smiled. "I didn't expect you to care so much about the Spurs."

"Because I have a vague feeling that the Spurs may be stronger than the Thunder. Don't forget, they are the Ivy League."

After listening to Link's words, Jorge thought about it.

Link later casually chatted, he didn't want Joger to think that he was trying to control the work of the head coach.

So, Link just clicked. The atmosphere in the locker room needs to be maintained. If there is a conflict with the head coach, it will not be worth the loss.

If Link is the head coach, he doesn't want a player to point fingers at him.

The two chatted until 11 o'clock, and Link got up and went back to his room to rest. Although Jogel was having a good time chatting, but because there is still a game tomorrow, he didn't stay Link.

"Play well tomorrow and try to end the fight in Los Angeles."

"Don't worry, I said, there will be no more accidents." Link waved his hand and disappeared at the end of the corridor.

After sending Link away, Jogel himself continued to sit down and study the video of the game.

Looking at Kevin Durant wearing a blue jersey on the video, Jogel thought seriously about what Link just said.

Finally, he clicked the red cross in the upper right corner to turn off the Thunder's game video. Then, the video of yesterday's game between the Spurs and the Thunder was opened.

Link is right, the Spurs have been the ivy of the West for more than ten years. It is too dangerous to ignore them easily. After all, they are also a team with 60+ wins this season...

Jogel decided to focus more on the Spurs.

The next day, May 10. The Western Conference semifinals finally came to Los Angeles, only this time, the Clippers played in Los Angeles instead of the Lakers.

After a day off, the Clippers made a comeback at home. The last game failed to counterattack, and the Clippers, who are now 0-2 behind, are very angry. Less than a minute into the game, Barnes and Randolph collided. Barnes hooked the "big black bear" by the neck and threw him in a circle. The two sides almost started.

If Iguodala was not the first to rush up and hug Randolph away, it is estimated that the second Auburn Hills Palace brawl will be staged today. After all, neither Barnes nor Randolph are afraid of things.

Barnes took a technical foul for this, and Link scored the first point of the game by free throws.

However, the anger did not seem to help the Clippers gain any advantage on the scene. In the following games, the Grizzlies' offense still played smoothly, and they were not disturbed by the opening episode at all.

Link and Conley made consecutive three-pointers, leaving the Clippers behind by double digits in the first quarter!

In the second quarter, the impatient Griffin fouled frequently on the defensive end. Troubled by fouls, he had to spend most of the second quarter on the bench.

Griffin's performance in the Western Conference semifinals was very general. In the last round against the Rockets, Griffin averaged 23 points per game. But after two games in the Western Conference semifinals, Griffin averaged only 15 points per game and shot only 37.7%...

But even so, he is still an important scoring point for the Clippers. If he goes down, he can only be replaced by "big baby" Davis, who averaged 3.8 points per game.

After Griffin came off the court, the Clippers' offense really weakened a lot. Link and Conley scored together, widening the difference to 16 points after halftime.

In the second half, Griffin was fouled by Link again as soon as he came up. Griffin's defensive positioning is still a big problem, and it's easy for Link to find fouls.

Ultimately, Griffin graduated with six fouls after playing eight minutes in the fourth quarter. Griffin's end also indicates that the Clippers no longer have any resistance.

The result of the game was as Link said, and there were no more surprises. From the first minute of the game, the Grizzlies didn't give the Clippers any chance.

98-106, the Grizzlies beat the Clippers for the third time in a row at Staples Center, making the series 3-0.

At this time, everyone knew the final outcome of this round of the series.

But Link is more concerned about the outcome of another game than the outcome of this round of the series.

Twenty-four hours later, at the AT&T Center, Thunder forward Serge Ibaka made a difficult decision.

He had already been reimbursed for the season, because he couldn't bear to watch the team miss the championship, so he chose to close and force a comeback! Everyone knows that this is a dangerous way to overdraw the present from the future!

But after all, Ibaka is back, and Tim Duncan will no longer be easy.

All Thunder fans are looking forward to victory, and Ibaka's return seems to have given them the confidence to compete for the championship!

The results of it? As a result, 6 Spurs scored in double figures, with a huge advantage of 28 points, knocking down the Thunder for the second consecutive game! The difference is even bigger than before Ibaka's comeback!

"The revenge of the San Antonio Spurs has made the Thunder hard to resist! They are the most perfect team in the league, and everyone in the Spurs is truly screwed together!"

Watching the TV and listening to the commentator's commentary, Dave Jogel couldn't help swallowing. Link is right, the Spurs are strong, even stronger than the Thunder!

Jogel only feels fortunate now that at least he still has enough time to prepare for this terrible opponent.

An opponent who can make MVP nervous is not easy.
