NBA's King of Talking

Chapter 744 Flying Pepper VS Double Top Scholar

Paul George's playoff performance was mediocre, and he had been quiet for a long time, but he suddenly broke out in the Suns' most crucial game...

Paul George scored 39 points in this game, his shooting touch was absolutely explosive, hitting 9 three-pointers throughout the game, leading his team to defeat the Suns and changing the series score to 3-0!

When an NBA playoff series reaches a 3-0 score, it's basically over...

Neither the score nor the course of the game showed any sign that the Suns had any chance of creating a miracle.

Many people are already looking forward to the finals...

On May 25, the NBA officially announced the All-NBA Teams for this season.

The players selected for the All-NBA First Team are Jia Fei, Doncic, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jayson Tatum, and Jokic.

This is Jia Fei's 8th time being selected for the All-NBA Team, and his 7th time being selected for the First Team.

Because his career hasn't been very long, his number of All-NBA selections isn't the highest in NBA history, but at least among active players, no one except for Running Man can surpass him in this aspect.

There's no trophy for the All-NBA Team, but it's a real honor. You could say the All-NBA Team is more prestigious than the All-Star Team, especially the First Team, which basically represents the five best players of the season.

In addition to the All-NBA Teams, the NBA also announced the All-Defensive Teams.

The players selected for the All-Defensive First Team are Jia Fei, Bridges, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Gobert, and JJJ.

This marks Jia Fei's 8th selection for Defensive Player of the Year in his NBA career, including his 7th All-Defensive First Team selection.

Jia Fei has been selected to both the All-NBA First Team and the All-Defensive First Team eight times, with seven of those selections being First Team and Seven of the First Team. He is a typical example of an all-around player in the league.

Besides Jia Fei, Bridges was also selected for the All-Defensive First Team. The two of them, as the Clippers' two perimeter anchors, contributed to the Clippers' league-leading defense.

This season, Jia Fei continues his accolades-laden run, having already secured MVP, scoring title, steals title, All-Star selection, All-NBA First Team selection, and All-Defensive First Team honors – truly a trophy-collecting machine. If he can lead his team to the championship and win the Finals MVP, he will have completed his collection of all the major accolades for this season.

That's absolutely brutal! Jia Fei has already monopolized the NBA's biggest honors for the past four years. If he wins the championship and takes home the Finals MVP, he will monopolize the NBA's biggest honors for five consecutive years.

Jia Fei was selected for the All-NBA First Team and the All-Defensive First Team, and the Clippers immediately announced the news on their official website.

Ballmer was also happy for Jia Fei, and signing a star like Jia Fei was simply the best decision he had made in the past six years.

May 26, Western Conference Finals Game 4.

The sun has given up hope; although they are still trying, they are eventually running out of steam.

The Clippers swept the Suns 4-0 in the Western Conference Finals for the second consecutive year, advancing to the NBA Finals!

This marks the Clippers' fifth consecutive appearance in the NBA Finals, and they have won the championship in the previous four attempts.

The Eastern Conference Finals are not over yet, and the Clippers will sit back and watch the battle unfold, waiting for their opponent in the NBA Finals to be determined.

Ultimately, it was the Boston Celtics who emerged victorious from the East!

The Clippers and Celtics will meet for the first time in the NBA Finals!

The Boston Celtics are a professional basketball team based in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. Founded in 1946, they are one of the founding teams of the National Basketball Association (NBA) and currently play in the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference.

The Boston Celtics have won the NBA championship 17 times, the most in NBA history. In their head-to-head matchups against top rivals like the Los Angeles Lakers, they have a 9-3 record.

The Clippers have won the championship over the past four years, making them the strongest and most successful team in recent years. However, when it comes to team history, they still lag far behind the Celtics. The Celtics have a much richer history; only the Lakers can truly compare.

But the Celtics' last championship was in the 2007-08 season, 13 years ago... Back then, the Celtics were in the era of the Big Three, with Pierce, Ray Allen, and Harden forming the Big Three that won the championship that year.

It's worth mentioning that the Celtics' head coach back then was none other than the Clippers' former head coach, "Pighead Lee." And Pighead Lee's defensive assistant coach back then was none other than "The Grasshopper God," Tom Thibodeau.

There have been predictions for this series, with most people favoring the Clippers.

The Flying Pepper duo versus the two young stars: This is the era of the forwards. Is the NBA's middle generation stronger, or is the new generation more powerful?

There are still plenty of topics to discuss in the Clippers-Celtics series. The two young stars have finally made it out of the East, which makes Ainge's shrewd moves from back then even more valuable!

On the evening of June 3, at the Clippers' home arena, Intuit Dome.

Because the Clippers had the best regular season record in the league, they had home-court advantage in all playoff series.

For Game 1 of the Finals, ticket prices skyrocketed. Clippers owner Steve Ballmer was overjoyed; not only had the team he bought increased in value significantly, but it was also consistently generating profits, like a golden goose laying golden eggs. No one dislikes having too much money, and he was no exception.

The Clippers' home arena, Intuit Dome, was packed to capacity that night, but Lin Ning and Rose both got tickets and appeared together in a great spot courtside. Next to them, Zhou Ling'an was also there, as were Kemba Walker and Lamb.

Kemba Walker no longer plays for the Celtics, and he now naturally supports his good friend Jia Fei's team, the Clippers.

With the Lakers eliminated, the Clippers became the sole remaining Los Angeles team, and many Lakers fans flocked to the arena to watch the game. Many stars who frequently appear at Staples Center, such as Beckham, Paul, and Rihanna, were present at the Clippers' home game tonight.

Los Angeles is a place of fame and fortune. The presence of Hollywood means that Staples Center and the Clippers' home arena, Intuit Dome, are frequent haunts of celebrities. With such high popularity and exposure during the Finals, many stars also want to take advantage of this opportunity to gain exposure and relax while working.

This match was broadcast live on Tencent, with commentators Wang Zixing and guest Su Qun providing commentary.

"Mr. Su, the Clippers have swept their opponents in the last three series. Do you think they can continue to sweep in the Finals?" Wang Zixing asked.

Su Qun adjusted his glasses and replied, "It's hard to say. I think the chances are pretty good. The Celtics' overall strength isn't necessarily much higher than the Suns'. It seems like the two young stars can be compared to Jia Fei and Paul George, but in fact, Jia Fei is more than one level above the three of them."

The starting lineups for both teams have been announced.

The Clippers' starting lineup, playing at home, consisted of Jafi, Bridges, George, Grant, and Hartenstein. The Clippers' roster has been very stable; aside from using Jafi at center against the Warriors, Hartenstein has started in the other series.
