Chapter 657 The reorganization has begun
Ji Guoqiu came up and clenched him, and said with a smile: "It's not bad. I believe you won't be eliminated in the first round now, but it's not enough to see me in the finals."
Ji Guomomiya didn't care and said with a smile: "I don't refute. Who said that the Eastern Conference teams are all waste? It is naturally much easier for you to reach the finals in the Eastern Conference than me in the Western Conference. However, once the Clippers break out of the siege from the Western Conference and enter the finals, the final champion will definitely be mine."
In the end, the Clippers easily won the third finals victory. Now they are only one victory away from sweeping the Cavaliers to win the championship, setting another NBA record.
Ji Guochou scored 16 points, 14 rebounds, 11 assists, 3 blocks, 2 steals, while Ji Guomomi scored 44 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists, 5 blocks, 2 steals.
At the post-match press conference, the Clippers still were still excited to win the championship. The Clippers players did not perform as carelessly in the face of the media as they did in the game.
No team in NBA history can reverse and win the championship when they fall behind 0:3. The Clippers' championship is already within their reach. However, the experienced Clippers have not shown this excitement at all. They still seemed calm at the post-match press conference.
Ji Guoqiu said after the game when talking about the Clippers' attitude towards the next game: "This will not change anything. We have one game to go before the championship, that's it. We know that they will fight back in the next game no matter what, and they don't want to be swept by us."
Ji Guoxiong was naturally asked about the dunk repeatedly after the game. The dead fox said in a plain tone and said, "There is no doubt that it was a great dunk, but I don't think it will help me get MVP. Because in the eyes of those professional judges, this is an ordinary dunk."
In order to win the MVP, the dead fox really doesn't want any moral integrity now. Not only does he use the method of playing hard to get, he also flatters the judges with shamelessness, so he wins this year's finals MVP.
As for the Cavaliers, judging from the official release of James' injury, the little emperor's injury is not serious. Mike Brown revealed after the game that the little emperor may return in the next game.
"Yes. His injury is not particularly serious. We can only fight for honor now. If the situation allows, I think he will play."
James wore a suit to attend the post-match press conference after the game. He expressed his opinion on the current bad situation: "Everyone is still holding hope, but you have to know that what the Cavaliers hope for now should not be a big reversal. This is not realistic enough, but at least we must win one game to avoid being swept by the Clippers."
Cleveland fans could only sigh helplessly. James was right. Now, it was a fool to say that he was turning around. The next victory was the most realistic goal.
The finals lead 3:0. The Clippers are now infinitely close to this year's championship, and a dynasty belonging to the Clippers is about to appear. So in the past decade, which team, the Clippers, Spurs or Lakers, is the most memorable team?
As the player with the most championship rings in the Clippers, facing this problem of reporters, Billups felt that if the Clippers won this year's championship, the Clippers Dynasty would surpass the Spurs Dynasty.
Billups said: "It's really hard for me to evaluate, but to be honest, the Clippers still surprised people. I think if the Clippers win three consecutive championships, the team will surpass the Spurs and be on par with the Lakers. We have been dominating for three years now and will continue to dominate. Our goal is not to just rule the NBA for three years."
Ji Guoxiong also said after the game: "Yes, there are many dynasty teams. To put it far, there are also the Bulls Dynasty and the Celtic Dynasty. They have dominated the league for almost ten years. If a team can dominate for such a long time, they are the best textbooks and the real dynasty. This is unquestionable."
Billups had already won the championship when he was at the Pistons, but his life in the Clippers is the most memorable. As long as he wins another championship ring, he will become one of the few players in NBA history to win five championship rings, and will surpass O'Neal, Kobe and Duncan.
Billups finally said: "Everything in the playoffs is deeply imprinted in my mind. Winning three games in a row is amazing, but it is extraordinary to win everything in the league in the past three years. In my eyes, a dynasty team has dominated at least 10 years and will win at least 5 to 6 championships in the past ten years, so the Clippers have not done this yet."
If this is the case, after 1980, the Lakers entered the finals 12 times in 30 years, won the championship 8 times, and were proud of the heroes; the Bulls entered the finals 6 times, and won the championship 6 times, second only to the Lakers; the Spurs entered the finals 4 times in 8 years, and ranked third; the Clippers entered the finals twice, and won the championship twice, and temporarily ranked fourth. The only teams that have won the championship three consecutive championships are the Lakers and the Bulls, once the Lakers and twice the Bulls. The Nets, the Trail Blazers and the Jazz are sad, and they entered the finals twice, all of them lost.
If the Clippers win the third championship, they will at least not be inferior to the Spurs, but they are still one level away from the Lakers and the Bulls, the other two giant teams in modern basketball. This is also the reason why the Magic always talks about "the Clippers will be on par with the Lakers only if they win at least 6 championships."
If you want to compete with the Lakers for honor, the Clippers still have many ways to go, and the three consecutive championships are just the beginning.
Put your attention to the present. After the third game of the finals, espn listed the crazy sweep records of eight finals in history, namely:
2007 - San Antonio Spurs 4-0 Cleveland Cavaliers.
2002-Los Angeles Lakers 4-0 New Jersey Net.
1995 - The Houston Rockets 4-0 Orlando Magic.
1989 - Detroit Pistons 4-0 Los Angeles Lakers.
1983 - Philadelphia 76ers 4-0 Los Angeles Lakers.
1975—The Golden State Warriors 4-0 Washington Bullets.
1971 - Milwaukee Bucks 4-0 Baltimo Bullets.
1959 - The Celtics 4-0 Minneapolis Lakers.
From this perspective, there are still many unlucky guys who were swept in the finals. The Cavaliers are honored to be the team that was swept in the finals twice in a row. There are also the Lakers and Wizards above them, especially the Lakers. They were swept three times in the finals. It is probably impossible for the Cavaliers to surpass this record.
The finals of the 2009-2010 season have already ended in the eyes of all teams. It is difficult for the Cavaliers to avoid sweeping, and the turnaround is all jokes.
Now the managers of each team have already shown their powers, especially the dozen teams with big fish are the most lively. Of course, they don’t want their fat fish to be caught by others. At the same time, they all want to catch other people’s big fish to their own homes, so they can only rely on their own abilities.
The Nuggets are the first to fail. Cameron Anthony has already announced through various channels that he will never continue to wear the Nuggets uniform next year. When summer comes, he will jump out of the last year's contract and choose a new team to start over.
Anthony's big fish is the best fish this summer, and there is no need to pay any price. Just make Melon feel that the team you join has the strength to win the championship and trust yourself enough. Of course, it's best to go to the big city, Cleveland or something.
Nowadays, New York, Chicago, Miami, Nets, Houston, and Philadelphia are all interested in snatching melons and planting them in their own homes, but the treatment is still different. For example, New York and Philadelphia are all temptations for high salaries, but the teams themselves are not strong; Chicago, Miami, Nets, and Houston have their own cores. Their salary is not as high as New York and Philadelphia, and their status in the team is much worse, but the chance of winning the championship is the temptation of honor.
But after careful analysis, there are still subtle differences between the four teams behind it. For example, the Nets' Giant Pandas are definitely the core of the team. As the boss behind the scenes, Anthony will definitely be under pressure after coming. Moreover, as we all know, the Panda brother has high requirements for his teammates. Anthony's usual lazy defensive attitude may make the Giant Pandas dissatisfied, resulting in a estrangement.
The problem with Houston is that their stingy boss, Alexander will never pay luxury tax. Even if Anthony goes to the Rockets, it is amazing to be similar to the Yao-McD combination back then. In order not to exceed the league luxury tax, Alexander will definitely not renew his contract with David Lee and Gay. At that time, with the Rockets' strength, he will still not win the championship.
The problems with Chicago and Miami are similar to those of the Nets, but the core of these two teams is easier to get along with, Melon's defense will not become a big problem, but the team's chances of winning the championship are undoubtedly a little smaller.
The choices and problems Anthony is facing now can basically be summarized in this way - if you want money, you will not only have no money; if you want a championship, you will also have to be the second child.
Ji Guochou does not attach great importance to Anthony. If this top attacker in the third position is naturally the best. The Nets offered him an annual salary of only 16 million to 17 million, just like the three giants in another time and space. Since you want to win, you must make some sacrifices, otherwise you can go to New York, which will give you more money.
On June 6, just the day before the Clippers were preparing to have a fourth battle with the Cavaliers, news came from Los Angeles that the Lakers' internal rights have been changed. Recently, Old Buss has decided to hand over the team to his son. Everyone knows that Buss is not capable of managing it and put his capable daughter out of nothing.
This choice is not surprising. The media has long expected that this will be the result, because most people will make such a choice. If they are not capable, they will be their own son, but their daughter is already someone else's. Is it necessary to think about how to choose?
Jenny Buss submitted his resignation letter on June 5. It is no longer interesting to stay in the Lakers anymore. The Zen master also chose to resign on the same day and officially announced that he would no longer serve as the head coach of the Lakers.
After Ji Guochou received the news, he quickly contacted the Zen master.
The two of them had no communication for the first time, but Ji Guoqiu could also see that the Zen master did not want to just serve as head coach during his conversations. He also wanted to serve as the team's general manager, just like the old Dunleavy of the Clippers.
Ji Guomo did not care about this at first, but after hanging up the phone, he thought carefully that if he easily allowed the Zen master to take over the power, it would not be a good thing. Sometimes, if the boss is too easy to speak, he would be regarded as a sucker by his subordinates and would easily be taken advantage of by others. Of course he knew this truth.
On the same day, news came from Chicago that Ji Guoqiu, another coach who was chosen by Ji Guoqiu, may choose to advise the Chicago Bulls in the new season.
Ji Guoqiu's behind-the-scenes team began to contact Thibodeau after the Rockets were eliminated, but the coach is also very ambitious and has a lot of power to ask for. For example, he will definitely not want players like Nash. His players must have excellent defensive abilities.
Although Thibodeau's idea is in line with Ji Guoqiu's idea, Nash has agreed to come to the Nets and only then said to others, "If you don't have a good defense, you'd better stay in the Sun." It is estimated that Nash wants to die and his reputation will become bad.
However, Thibodeau still has a chance to come. As long as Ji Guochou promises to hand over the signings for the new season to Thibodeau, it doesn't matter if he can't defend Nash. But the key is that Ji Guochou attaches more importance to the title of Zen master. After all, KFC has three consecutive championships in his hands, and he can be called the NBA coach who is best at dealing with interpersonal relationships. The two of them will definitely get along well.
On June 7, Boston also reported today that Ray Allen may leave the Celtics next season, and the Big Three will face a breakup crisis in its fourth season.
Rumors have leaked after being eliminated in the Eastern Conference semifinals, and the Celtics' lineup will change next season.
Ray Allen said for the first time yesterday: "There is a lot of change in professional sports, which is well-known. I hope to spend my entire career with the Celtics, but who knows the future? Sometimes, the future is decided by me, the general manager and the coaching staff, and I don't know what will happen in the future."
After the end of this season, Ray Allen will become a free agent. The Celtics general manager hopes that he can renew his contract, but his salary will drop.
Pierce quickly expressed his opinion on Ray Allen's remarks, but the content exceeded many people's expectations.
"I don't know he would say that, but there seems to be nothing abnormal."
Pierce didn't know that his remarks seemed abnormal to the reporter. He only heard Captain Truth continue: "The relationship between us is very weird. We are good friends on the court, but Ray always does his own business off the court. That's his character," Pierce said. "We have been together for three years. Others on the team will often have dinner together, but Ray just won't show up. We will support his charity activities, but he won't participate in the rest of us. I once criticized him, 'Ray, we all support your activities, but you don't come when we invite you!' I remember that after Rondo renewed the contract, we arranged a dinner party, but Ray didn't show up in the end."
Pierce also revealed that Allen and Rondo were just incompatible.
"I know Lei may not like Rondo very much, but it has nothing to do with whether he likes anyone or not. There is no need to like everyone on the team when playing, but mutual support is still necessary. Rondo may not like Lei very much, but he will go to Lei's charity event and he will say 'Let's do this together!'"
In Pierce's eyes, the three giants of the Celtics are not him, kg and Allen, but others.
"I don't say that this is not how bad Ray is. We have a great relationship on the court, but even in the year we just combined, we made an appointment to eat something after the game or to have a party with old players. By then, I was always the only one, Kevin and Sam, and there must be no Ray. At that time, in many aspects, the three giants in our team were me, Sam and Kevin. Later, everyone understood, 'Ray is like that!' Don't think too much, I've said this in private, but in fact we didn't have much grudge."
Pierce also regrets himself. He hopes that he will pay more attention to health when he is young and hopes to become teammates with Garnett earlier. "I always say that I hope I can match fox at my peak so that we can know how many championships he can win!"
After Ji Guomomoto found out, he thought to himself that you idiot would break the news, so why did you have to bring me with you?
