It was tied by a buzzer-beating three-pointer, and it was a three-pointer on the board, which was very hurtful.

He lost two games in a row away game and was dragged into overtime at home, which was also very harmful to morale.

Even though the Warriors have seen many big scenes, the players are inevitably a little frustrated when they encounter this situation.

In the surrounding audience, all the fans had already stood up to watch the game, but the shouts were much smaller. The fierce competition in 48 minutes in regular time, several equal divisions, and several round-trip over the scores, which had consumed the energy of the fans, and the fans' voices were already hoarse. The hawker who was wandering in the audience selling drinks has become the busiest person on the scene.

After a short break, we entered the overtime stage.

Overtime is only five minutes long, and each team will only have about seven or eight attack opportunities after distribution, so each attack is particularly important.

Li Dai still did not arrange any tactics, and at this time he could only trust the judgment of the veterans.

Veterans chose to break through with the ball. Even if they cannot score directly, they still hope to make fouls and get free throws. For top-notch superstar players, this is indeed the most stable way to score.

The Warriors continue to implement their previous tactics. They still focus on shooting outside the three-point line, which depends on the players' feel, but this is the most threatening way to score, because the three-pointers are always one more point than two-pointers.

Both sides fought each other for four rounds, each scored six points. The Warriors made two three-pointers, while the Clippers scored four free throws and a layup.

Looking at the veterans entering the Warriors' basket like a cannon, and then laying up like a twisted bunch, his eyes couldn't help feeling a little wet.

These old guys really long for that championship ring.

Not only Li Dai was moved, but also the commentator and countless audiences in front of the TV.

"Wood directly collided with the Warriors inside player. The defender went to find physical contact with the center, which seemed to be committing suicide!"

"Hal still dares to make layups like this. Isn't he afraid of his knees being ruined?"

"Raymond's breakthrough made his body twisted like this!"

"Vincent, it's flying. Oh my God, although this caused a foul, he fell so hard! He is already 39 years old..."

Everyone can feel that these veterans are really fighting hard. Their breakthroughs are like betting on their careers! At this time, they are like soldiers who are ready to die. No matter how much sacrifice they make, they will win.

"Crazy, these crazy people! Is it necessary to play a ball like this? Do everyone think they are superman? If everyone plays this way, the medical insurance company will be compensated!" Dell said in his heart.

Dell has won three championships at a young age, so for him, the fourth championship is just the icing on the cake.

Not only Dell, but other players of the Warriors also have this idea, especially several main players, who have championship rings, and they feel that they don’t have to fight for what they have.

"These old guys are red-eyed, so don't compete with them!"

"They are not afraid of being injured, I am afraid of being injured! The season is almost over, and I don't want to spend a summer in the hospital."

"At the age of these veterans, they have to retire after not having a year or two, and my career is still very long! They are barefoot and are not afraid of me wearing shoes. Forget it, let's be more timid!"

"I'm in the contract year and I'm still counting on signing a 100 million contract next year. If I get injured at this time, the big contract will definitely be ruined. No, I have to hold back and protect my health for the big contract! It's better to honestly float outside and shoot three points, this is the safest way!"

The Warriors' players have different minds, but their common point is that they are unwilling to fight the Clippers.

The so-called brave ones win when they meet on a narrow road. In the last two minutes of overtime, they really reached the "narrow road", but the Warriors could not "be brave".

Sudden death!

This is what happened to the Warriors. The previous minute was a hot game, and the score was very tight, and the next three consecutive rounds did not score.

And it is also the three most critical rounds in overtime.

Teams that shoot three-pointers miss three consecutive shots. This is not surprising, and it is common.

But in the last two minutes of overtime, if you miss three consecutive shots, it would be fatal!

It was in these three rounds that the Clippers had a 5-point advantage, scored two layups, and made one of two free throws in a foul.

The Warriors' fourth three-point attempt finally scored, and then the Clippers did not give the Warriors a chance to breathe, and directly broke through to the inside, causing another foul, then hitting both free throws, widening the gap to 4 points again.

The 4-point difference is a very embarrassing number, which takes two rounds to equalize or overtake.

The Warriors made a quick push after serving, and took ten seconds to grab a quick two-pointer, and then adopted a foul tactic.

The time is for the Clippers to test free throws.

The fans kept making noises and making all kinds of noises, trying to interfere with the Clippers' free throws.

The Clippers then made both free throws, but the fans calmed down.

Like just now, the score difference is still 4 points, and it still takes two attacks to equalize the score, but the time is ten seconds less than just now.

This time, time no longer allows them to make two quick points, they must try a three-pointer.

In this case, three-pointers not only need strength, but also luck.

However, the head coach of the Warriors does not have the lucky horseshoe, does not have the prayer skills, and does not have the improvement of luck.

The Warriors did not make the most critical three-pointer, and then the Clippers grabbed the rebound, and then the Warriors had to foul.

The Clippers went to the free throw line again, making one of two free throws, with a score difference of 5 points.

The Warriors called a timeout, served in the midfield, and immediately made a three-pointer. This time the score difference became 2 points.

Immediately afterwards, the Clippers served, the Warriors fouled again, the Clippers hit the free throw line again, and both free throws, the score difference changed by 4 points, but there were only 5.5 seconds left.

The Warriors used up the last timeout and continued to serve in the midfield and scored a three-pointer.

If the Clippers got the rebound, the Warriors made another foul, but this foul was meaningless.

There are 2.2 seconds left, 4 points difference, no timeout, and you need to start an attack from the backcourt. Even if you score a goal, these 2.2 seconds will be exhausted. What's more, even if you score a three-pointer, the Warriors will still lose 1 point.

So in one game, the Warriors will be completely in a mess.

...

When the sound of the end of the game sounded, the fans had already begun to leave in an orderly manner.

The big score of this round of series has become 3-0, and the Clippers have already won the match point. For the Warriors, they can already say "bye" to this year's playoffs.

In the NBA, the team has never used the team to fall behind 0-3. If that team is behind 0-3, they will be in a state of surrender in their mentality.

In the fourth game two days later, Li Dai only let the main players play for more than ten minutes. After the hot hands were hot, he kept his hands feeling and went on a non-rotating lineup. This was equivalent to the fact that he stopped the troops in advance and gave up the fourth game voluntarily.

The Warriors easily won a victory against the Clippers' water dispenser manager and tied the total score to 1-3.

Although the Warriors won, the Warriors players were not happy at all. When they were behind 3-0, they were already holding up a lot of energy to counterattack and get some face, but they didn't expect to hit the cotton with one punch.

Moreover, this game did not help the Warriors regain confidence. They defeated the opponent's water dispenser manager. It felt like a two-meter-high strong man beating a child. It would be embarrassing if he lost, and there would be no sense of accomplishment if he won.

In short, it is not a force to win.

The Warriors' coaching staff was a little depressed. They originally wanted to use this victory to boost the morale of the players, but they didn't expect that they had no intention of coming to the front and directly hiding with a fake shot.

Li Dai pretended to be a natural person and answered directly in response to the reporter's question: "Our players are older and are already exhausted in such fierce confrontations in the playoffs, so they need to rest. You can't let a group of veterans who are almost forty years old fight as hard as young people!"

The reporters were speechless when Li Dai said this. A player of such an old age is called "dedication" for a long time, and it must be praised by everyone, but if he plays a few games of health basketball, he will not be able to say anything.

There is a virtue called respecting the elderly and loving the young, but in the NBA, there is only respecting the elderly and not loving the young. It is normal for young rookies to be bullied when they come, but respecting the elderly and seniors is a politically correct thing.

...

In the fifth game, both sides returned to Los Angeles.

Los Angeles is also a team with a tradition of championships. Although it is not the Lakers but the Clippers who have the chance to win the championship this year, this does not affect the enthusiasm of the fans. Nearly 20,000 seats in the entire stadium were stuffed, and many famous Hollywood movie stars came to the scene to witness the Clippers winning the Western Conference championship.

The competition has not yet begun, and Li Dai has a happy conversation with Xiao Dingtian on VIP's seat.

"I didn't expect that American sports are so profitable. I play football in China and lose more than one billion a year. I play basketball in the United States and earn more than two million US dollars in one game!" Xiao Dingtian sighed.

It is normal for Dingtian Football Club to lose more than one billion yuan every year, but for Dingtian Group, it is just a development of several buildings, just to treat it as an advertisement.

When Dingtian Group acquired the Clippers, it didn't plan to make a lot of money, as long as it didn't lose too much. But what happened to Xiao Dingtian was that doing sports in the United States could really make a lot of money.

In this game, the average ticket price has exceeded 1,000 US dollars, creating the highest ticket price in the Western Conference Finals. Based on the 20,000 seats in the Staples Center, the ticket revenue alone reached 20 million US dollars.

Playing a game, a prospective star player has earned a year's salary.

The ticket price in Los Angeles is already relatively expensive. If it reaches the finals, the average ticket price in Los Angeles can exceed US$2,500.

Li Dai replied with a smile: "This American sports commercialization is indeed unmatched by other countries."

"What a pity, this stadium is not ours." Xiao Dingtian sighed again, then looked at the audience around him.

Xiao Dingtian himself develops real estate, and Dingtian Group is also a top 200 companies in the world's top 500 companies. This stadium is not his own, which makes Xiao Dingtian feel very uncomfortable.

I have developed a real estate for a lifetime and finally had to rent someone else’s stadium. This is unbearable!

Xiao Dingtian lowered his voice and said, "I plan to build a new stadium, which is our own stadium. If you win the NBA championship this year, the board of directors will definitely be unobstructed in building the stadium."

The 30 NBA teams have a total of 29 stadiums, and the Lakers and Clippers share a Staples Arena.

Among these 29 stadiums, only seven and a half teams have their own real home stadiums. These include: the Pistons’ home Auburn Hill Palace, the Wizards’ home Verizon Center stadium, the Raptors’ home Air Canada Center stadium, the Nets’ home Barclays Center, the Trail Blazers’ home Moda Center, the Nuggets’ home Pepsi Center, and the Jazz’s home Wiint Smart Home stadium. In addition, the Bulls’ owner owns 50% of the Bulls’ home United Center, so the Bulls have half of their own venues.

Except for these seven half-teams, other teams have to rent venues. For example, the Rockets home court, Toyota Center, which is more familiar to Chinese fans, is the Houston Sports Bureau.

"Building a stadium costs a lot of money, right?" Li Dai asked subconsciously.

"I plan to find this number." Xiao Dingtian directly stretched out a finger.

100 million US dollars? This amount of money can't be built in Los Angeles.

10 billion US dollars? Dingtian Group can't afford so much money. Besides, it doesn't cost so much money to build a stadium.

So this gesture definitely represents 1 billion US dollars!

A stadium worth 1 billion US dollars is definitely a stadium of high standards.
