This is Kassel's first season coaching the Clippers. With both Griffin and Paul absent, he not only led the team to win the first round opponent Rockets, but also tortured the defending champion in the first game of the semi-finals. This is definitely a strong mark for his coaching career.↑,.

The person who is more outstanding than Kassel is naturally Tang Shuai. As a rookie who was selected at the 15th pick, his playoff journey is fantastic. When Paul and Griffin were both on the first two games of the first round, his score remained at around 20 points. Although it was good, his performance in the regular season was only considered to be average.

After Paul and Griffin were injured one after another, Tang Shuai completely went wild and carried the team forward with his own strength. He scored 26 points and 9 assists in the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, 39 points and 5 assists in the sixth game, and 43 points and 7 assists against the Warriors, his performance continued to rise, and this rise was gradually, which clearly shows that he is increasingly adapting to the core role.

Especially in this battle that just ended, the opponent was the Warriors, which had just broken the best record in history. Although Curry was absent, his strength was definitely above the Clippers. However, Tang Shuai decided the trend of the game with one quarter of the game. He became famous in this game.

"This is really a historic moment. If you ask me when I have seen such a phenomenal performance, then I would say it was Ai in 2001. Although it is an opponent, I have to praise that fighter. Now it is obvious that a new fighter is coming in front of us." O'Neal said bluntly on the show at t.n.t.

"Maybe I am one of the lucky players, because after I retired, I can still witness such a great game on the spot. The Warriors are great. They can still play perfect offense and tacit cooperation after they lack the star. If nothing unexpected happens, they should have won the game, but in fact, there is an accident in this game. Tang changed the game with his ability alone. Oh my God, a rookie scored 43 points against the defending champion and even scored 28 points in the first quarter. This is really not a dream!" Miller has already shown some calmness in ESPN's daily program. You must know that he is the only person who thinks the Clippers may win the game.

"My players play great, but the player status is not something I can decide. I can only say that Tang's performance of the Clippers tonight is historical. I look forward to his performance in the next game, so that we may also perform more excitingly." Kerr commented on Tang Shuai at the press conference.

This is the reaction of the media and celebrities. Tang Shuai and the Clippers proved themselves with practical actions, and also made their attitude change by 180 degrees.

This verifies that the world will never be without doubt, and doubt can always be eliminated by facts.

After the game ended, the visiting team's locker room was in chaos, and the players celebrated wildly and vented their voluntarily. Most of them didn't feel that there was a possibility of winning before the game. Even if it weren't for Tang Shuai's pre-match mobilization, they might have given up on the game, but the facts proved that there was nothing impossible in this world. When people complete what they thought was impossible, it was impossible to remain calm.

Tang Shuai was obviously the focus of celebration, and all kinds of champagne were sprayed directly on him, which felt like he had won the championship.

He was soaked all over, but he was very excited. Without Green and Griffin, the current Clippers team only had Jordan Jr. It was actually almost the same as winning the championship with the ability to defeat the defending champion in such a full-game suppression.

After the celebration, he took Su Mei to the hotel where he stayed. At this moment, he had time to pick up his phone. There were forty or fifty text messages at the prompt, which scared him directly. He opened it and saw that there were all kinds of people, including Iverson and Kobe who were familiar with the stars he had just retired, as well as celebrities like Miller and Olajuwon who had retired for a long time, and even general managers of teams like Angie and Kupchek. What surprised him the most was that the "God of Basketball" Jordan also sent him a message.

You will grow into a star in the league and stay motivated.

The content of the message is very short, but you can feel Jordan's encouragement and appreciation for him from his words.

Putting down her phone, Tang Shuai turned his head and looked at Su Mei who was already asleep beside her, gently kissed her on the forehead, and then lay down to sleep.

The Clippers' victory over the Warriors was definitely a shocking level, and for the Warriors, a complete defeat put a shadow on their way to defend the title, and there were even rumors that Curry was preparing to make a comeback in the next game.

The Warriors with Curry and without Curry are two completely different teams. For Shuai Tang and the Clippers, the real challenge will soon come.

Just as the NBA playoffs were in full swing, the Chinese men's basketball national team also announced the training list for preparing for the Olympics, with Tang Shuai and Zhou Qi's names listed.

The men's basketball training list is reported in batches, and the first batch of personnel has been reported, and the second batch will be reported before May 4. Tang Shuai and Zhou Qi are both in the third batch, and the reporting time is May 10.

Tang Shuai is playing in the playoffs, and it is obviously unrealistic to report. The actual significance of this list is to tell fans that Tang Shuai will participate in the Olympics held in Rio, Brazil.

The news broke out and caused a huge sensation in the country.

After Tang Shuai performed such a shocking performance in the NBA, fans' expectations for the national team's performance in the Olympics have risen sharply. Many fans have even begun to look forward to the moment when Tang Shuai leads the Chinese team to create the best record in history.

During the 2008 Olympics, the Chinese men's basketball team, led by Yao Ming, performed well and finally reached the quarterfinals, tying the best in history. Unfortunately, it was not the last step. Now Tang Shuai's appearance has given fans the idea of ​​filling regrets.

Tang Shuai seems very calm about domestic public opinion. The national team is not as good as the NBA. His teammates are not at the same level. If he wants to perform well, he will not be useful if he performs alone. In the NBA, he has teammates who help him wipe his butt on the defensive end. The national team is not that good at this level, so compared to the optimism of the fans, he still holds a calm heart.

In fact, he had a limited attention to this aspect. He only communicated with Duffy once, and then focused his attention on the series again.

The Warriors ranked first in the league in the regular season, so they will have a home advantage in all series, and the same is true for the series with the Clippers, because there are two games in three consecutive days, and the Clippers' players stayed in Golden State.

Su Mei originally wanted to accompany Tang Shuai, but she received a call from UCL early the next morning and had to rush back to school in advance.

Although Yiyi was reluctant to leave, there was no way. After Tang Shuai sent Su Mei away, he turned around to train with the team.

With the first big victory, the team's morale was greatly boosted, which means that the players' momentum in training was completely different. To put it bluntly, this is the qualitative change of the team.

Tang Shuai saw it and was also very happy. At the Asian Championships, China played against the South Korean team. The Chinese team reversed and won the victory with a strong backlash when they were nearly 20 points behind. After that, the entire team changed qualitatively and won the championship in one go. Now the Clippers have obviously undergone similar changes.

Just before the second game between the two sides, the first round of the East's playoffs ended the day before. The Raptors and the Heat defeated their opponents at home and successfully advanced to the semi-finals. In this way, all the teams in the upper half of the east and west areas won the series, which is a very rare scene in recent years.

At the same time, the semi-finals of the Thunder and the Spurs were held. The Spurs' new aid Aldridge went completely, defeating Ibaka and completely dominated the game, and also helped the Spurs win the first victory in the series.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Spurs, which have created the best record in the team history, will have a place in the Western Conference Finals.

And just the day after the Spurs and Thunder matches ended, the second game between the Clippers and the Warriors was soon staged at the Oracle Center Arena.

Unlike the rumors before the game, Curry did not play, and he was not even on the team's activation list, and he still sat on the sidelines in a suit and tie.

Kerr is also courageous. Even if he loses a big score, even if Curry doesn't fully recover in such a critical game, he will still not let him play.

Similar to the previous game, Tang Shuai used a single activation package at the beginning. He took the lead on the offensive end and scored 27 points in a single quarter, helping the team lead by as much as 19 points in the first quarter.

Everything seems to be following the script of the first game, but the only difference is that Cole made adjustments in tactical defense. He took Barnes and replaced Iguodala. For the purpose of protecting Thompson, he let Iguodala directly match Tang Shuai. Although he could not limit Tang Shuai, he controlled Thompson's foul.

After the first quarter, Thompson did not make a foul, and the difference between these two fouls caused a fundamental change between the two sides in the next three quarters.

Tang Shuai's breakthrough was still sharp, but it was obviously weaker than when using a single consumption package. This was noticed by Cole at a glance, so he began to firmly use Iguodala's single defense defensive mode against Tang Shuai, and focused his defensive energy on the other four offensive points of the Clippers.

At the same time, after Thompson controlled the number of fouls, he was able to stay on the court all the time, so the Warriors' offensive firepower was much better than the first game, so the last three quarters of the game turned into the Warriors' score-chasing show.

Tang Shuai made a sharp breakthrough and kept scoring, but the other four points were restricted, while the Warriors opened their firepower and almost got closer.

It is difficult for a team to win with just one scoring point. This can be seen from the game where Kobe scored 81 points in a single game but lost the game. Cole obviously knew this, so his decision was quite decisive and quite correct.

As the game reached the fourth quarter, the Clippers' leading advantage had been completely flattened. When the fourth quarter reached the second half of the quarter, when Tang Shuai's physical strength began to gradually lose weight, the Warriors began to open the score bit by bit.

110 to 104, the Warriors finally defeated the Clippers without any danger, won the second round of the series between the two sides, and tied the total score 1 to 1.
