Chapter 238 Clippers and Lakers
Wang Dapao didn't worry about the lawsuit at all. In fact, if Wang Dapao was ignorant, he might go back and care about this issue. For Wang Dapao, this matter was just for two things from beginning to end.
First, it makes those guys unhappy, no matter the lawsuit wins or loses, they will be unhappy.
Second, to divert the media's attention, Wang Dapao didn't want to bother Taylor because of this. The key is that nothing happened to them.
In comparison, the playoffs are still the issue that Wang Dapao attaches most importance to. After all, the system setting, the reward for Wang Dapao’s data swiping in the playoffs is 5 times that of the regular season. For this alone, he had to take it seriously. After all, the reward points are another meaning, which is a white ocean!
Wang Dapao sometimes even feels that if he can deliberately delay the number of games in the series, such as the match with the Mavericks, the 4:0 elimination will turn into 4:3 elimination, and he will have three more chances to score points.
But Wang Dapao can only imagine that such a thing is not perfect, but he still can't do it. After all, the team's clever approach is not particularly good.
As time goes by, the first round of the competition gradually ends, and the semi-finals in the east and west appear.
The situation in the East is slightly shocking. The Bulls, the No. 1 player, was eliminated 4:2 by the 76ers because of the serious injury of the star Ross, became another team that was blackened. The 76ers who defeated the Bulls will face the Celtics who also eliminated the Hawks with a score of 4:2.
The defending champion Heat eliminated the New York Knicks 4:1 without any pressure, and Anthony eventually lost to James. And Jeremy Lin, who was highly anticipated, failed to show magic again. His performance in the high-intensity playoffs game was mediocre and had no highlights. The Heat's opponent was the Pacers who eliminated the Magic 4:1.
In the West, the Spurs who eliminated the Jazz 4:0 will compete with the Thunder who eliminated the Grizzlies 4:2. The Clippers who eliminated the Mavericks 4:0 will compete with the Lakers in the same city in the second round.
To be honest, this is the first time in history that the Clippers played in the playoffs with the Lakers. Since the Clippers moved to Los Angeles, either the Clippers missed the playoffs or the Lakers missed the playoffs. These two teams in the same city and the same arena have never played in the playoffs.
Therefore, the playoff battle between these two teams has attracted widespread attention from many people.
There is no way, who makes it so interesting? Think about it, both teams will play in the same stadium, both at home and away. Except for the floor LOGO and the players' uniforms will be replaced, there is no change in the other way. Fans watching the game do not need to go to other cities to cheer for the team they support. How pleasant and relaxing is this?
For the Clippers and Lakers, this is also a good opportunity, a very good opportunity to defeat the opponent.
"I've seen those guys in the Lakers feel unhappy. They all look like I'm the boss of Los Angeles. I'm very awesome. Don't mess with me. Are you very arrogant?" Griffin, who has been in the Clippers for the longest time, has always been very unhappy with the Lakers. "Get rid of it. The league is no longer the era of the Lakers. The Lakers have no Magic Johnson and no O'Neal. Although Kobe is still there, he has become an old thing. Why do they show their superiority in front of us? They must kill them! Let them know that we are the kings of Los Angeles now!"
The players on the Clippers' side have this idea, and although the Lakers' side have slightly different ideas, the general meaning is still the same.
"Look at how arrogant the Clippers are now? We are the kings of Los Angeles! Our Lakers have 16 championships, what do they have? There is not even a Western Conference champion. Just because they have formed a Big Three during this period, they can ride on our heads and shit?" The Lakers said this, not Kobe. Kobe has never liked to speak more in the locker room. The speaker is Artest. Only Artest, the funny guy, will unscrupulously scold the Clippers players in the locker room.
No, Artest can no longer be called Artest, because he has changed his name to Charity, World, Peace, and the fans of the Celestial Empire call him Ci Shiping abbreviated.
"It is also a kind of luck for us to meet them in the playoffs. In this way, we can kill them upright and let them know who is the real king of Los Angeles!"
Ci Shiping, who was waving his fists hard, was like the head of state in a speech, but there were very few people who responded to his call.
Kobe has always done his own things, no one cares about anyone.
Gasol is a gentle man. He will do his best on the court, but he will not do such things in the locker room.
As for others, they don’t have a strong sense of belonging in the Lakers. Players who play in the Lakers today may run to other teams tomorrow. Who would foolishly follow Ci Shiping to jump around?
Perhaps the only one who is more in line with Ci Shiping is Bydam!
"Okay! Kill them! Let them know how powerful we are!" Bydam and Wang Dapao have always had a grudge. It has been a day or two for two people to squirt each other from the air. Unfortunately, Bydam has never taken advantage of Wang Dapao on the court. Also, as a funny guy, Bydam has never convinced Wang Dapao. Bydam is ready to give Wang Dapao a little color in this rare opportunity to meet in the playoffs.
In this way, the first playoff derby between the Clippers and the Lakers' history is about to begin.
"Welcome to watch the NBA playoffs that TNT broadcasts live for you. This is the scene of the Clippers vs. Lakers. I am Smith."
After reading the introduction of the script, Smith was shocked to find that his two partners, Barkley and O'Neal, didn't say anything, but lay in the studio and didn't know what to look outside.
"What are you doing?" Smith asked strangely.
"Shh! Don't talk!" Barkley raised a finger and signaled Smith to be quiet. At the same time, O'Neal said in a tight voice: "It seems that someone is fighting outside, a wave of fans wearing red half-sleeved and a wave of fans wearing golden half-sleeved..."
Smith was amused and crying. These two live treasures were definitely intentional. This is the stadium and the security facilities are very complete. Who would fight here? They are emphasizing this extraordinary playoff game.
The playoffs themselves are extraordinary, and in this case one more extraordinary is added because of the current situation.
Due to the record, the first game between the Clippers and the Lakers is considered the home court of the Clippers, and the floor is also the Clippers' logo, but there are not many Lakers fans on the stadium.
There is no need to go to another place to support the team away. The advantage for Lakers fans is too great. As early as when the official tickets were sold, a large number of Lakers fans rushed to buy the Clippers' home tickets. What they have to do is to seize the Clippers' home court and make it the Lakers' home court!
The Lakers have done this kind of thing more than once before. The Clippers encountered this situation many times in the regular season, but at that time the Clippers did not have the ability to wrestle the Lakers, and they could only feel hatred when encountering such things.
But now it's different.
Due to his previous record in the Mavericks game, the Clippers fans reacted very quickly this time and did not let the Lakers fans buy all their home tickets. Half of the fans in the entire stadium are still Clippers fans.
As a home court, only half of the fans support themselves seem to be too few, but don’t worry, because these fans also snatched up the Lakers’ home tickets that the Lakers have officially sold. In other words, in the near future, half of the fans will be from the Clippers!
