Chapter 1972 - Spoiler Harden, first defeat in the playoffs
Overnight, Lao Zhan’s limelight caught up with Ji Feng and Kobe the day before. Although the process was thrilling, winning is the most difficult one. The Heat, which holds a 2-0 lead, are also very close to reaching the finals for the second consecutive year. In addition, coupled with the promotion of the media who knows the wealth code, Lao Zhan seems to be a knight who has broken his own demons.
I have to say that James’s image has improved a lot this season. Naturally, there is the credit of his own team in this. The various voices in the media have never stopped. All kinds of praise are undoubtedly the best way, plus time is a good medicine. In addition to Cleveland fans, many people have forgotten the matter of’decision one’.
Of course, there is also the promotion of the league. After all, the Lakers’ four consecutive championships are too overbearing, and the league has to find a rival for the Lakers, otherwise the attention of the NBA may be affected. This is not what the league’s old fritters think. To see.
Now this situation is exactly what the league wants, the game process is wonderful, the final result is the Lakers and the Heat 2-0, is there a more perfect situation than this, so Stern waved his hand, and the next day, the Lakers and the Heat played twice. The war should be hyped up as it should.
Open the Internet, and you will find that many well-known basketball columnists are imagining that the Lakers are playing the Heat in the Finals.
The famous NBNA reporter Smith even expressed excitement in the live broadcast: He can’t wait to see the finals happen.
In this regard, Ji Feng said that although the situation now looks like this, it has only played 2 games after all. In the 7 games and 4 wins series, everything has just begun, and the Spurs’ reversal is right in front of them. 2-0 is really not an insurance advantage. Moreover, judging from the trends of the first two games, the Thunder and the Celtics are on the rise. If it is not for some luck, they have a good chance to take away the victory on the road.
Back at home this time, everyone knows that it’s not easy to play. The Lakers’ original idea was to muffle and make a fortune, not to shoot, and to quietly take away the victory.
As a result, Ji Feng had just praised the Thunder from top to bottom, and the league came out.
“Now hyping the finals, isn’t this adding to the chaos.” Ji Feng looked at the various comments on the computer screen and could only smile wryly. Come on, the plan was disrupted again. This alliance really can’t make people worry about it.
I saw on the screen, in addition to the excited Heat fans and Lakers fans, the most are the fans of the Green Army and the Thunder. Unlike the relaxed tone of the fans of the first two teams, you can see clearly between the lines of the words of the Green Army and the Heat fans. To two big characters: dissatisfied!
Why don’t you start to imagine the finals after only two games in the conference finals? Why don’t you treat our two teams as human beings? Can you play happily? Even if you lose in the end, you have to wait until you lose. , What does it mean to do it now, look down on them? !
It’s worth it! ! !
Only Love Green Army: “dry, what this forum, that what Smith a small role, this number a few began to talk nonsense, you win it on the Heat TM finals, finals last year, did not suffer enough to beat is not it!”
The most powerful Big Three are in the Green Army: “Heat fans are all stunned. A 2-0 lead counts you awesome. If you have the ability, you can sweep it and show us. If you want to be really awesome, I will wash my hair upside down!”
I’m Adu’s little fan: “Although the Lakers are very strong, we believe that the Thunder will not be able to catch it with one’s hands. The league’s meaning is too obvious!”
Who said Wei Shao has no female fans: “Come on Wei Shao, we support you! Boom Boom!!!”
…
The fans are like this, not to mention the protagonist, the Thunder and the Celtics feel that they are offended.
Westbrook is a straight-tempered. He immediately asked Smith to apologize: “It doesn’t matter if you look down on us, but please apologize to the Thunder fans. It’s Western Finals time. I will show you the next game!”
Durant also expressed his dissatisfaction in the pre-match interview: “I don’t care what people discuss. Those are all stupid remarks. The game is not 4-0. We know our goal, that’s it.”
And Pierce next door also quarreled with the Heat fans. Pierce was the worst hacked in the playoffs. After all, he is a **** Zhanhei. This time he was blown out in two games, and he was sent off in the second game. Indirectly caused the team to lose, and in the past two days, it has been pulled out to ridicule, and now Pierce is completely offended.
“See you in the next game!” He posted a match of the Green Army on the social network, and the meaning was self-evident.
All of a sudden, people’s eyes were focused on the three games of the upcoming conference finals.
Bear the brunt of the Lakers and Thunder!
June 1st, Oklahoma!
The third game between the Lakers and the Thunder is about to begin!
Because they have lost two games before, this game is very important for the Thunder. From their efforts before the game, they know how much they value this game.
Before the game, Brooks even gave an affectionate speech in the locker room: “We are standing here, standing on this piece of land. This is our site. Outside is our most loyal audience. We may lose, but not today. Tonight, we may fall, but it’s definitely not tonight!!”
Before going on the court, Brooks hugged his disciples in turn, especially the three young masters, which was really tough.
Everyone knows what it means to lose in this game, so the Thunder can’t afford to lose.
The Lakers really want to win this victory. 3-0 and 2-0 are completely different. Once this game is won, the series will be stable.
So at the beginning, the Lakers turned their backs. Kobe and Gasol were very active in the first quarter. They cooperated internally and externally and scored 18 points together to help the Lakers lead the Thunder 29-23 in the first quarter.
In the second quarter, Durant led the Thunder to launch a counterattack. Durant wanted to win tonight. He also worked hard. Taking advantage of Ji Feng’s absence, he scored 7 points in a short time to help the Thunder narrow the difference to 3 points. Ji Feng also stood up, shooting 4 of 5 shots in a single quarter and getting 15 points in a single quarter to help the Lakers lead 59-50 at halftime by 9 points.
Tonight, the Lakers won’t be playing imaginary anymore, they are trying to lock Westbrook. Durant can score. But Westbrook wants to score, so he must play two or even three!
At halftime, the Thunder fans have begun to despair, and even fans with poor psychological quality have left the field.
The popularity of the lake is like a rainbow. In the third quarter, Gasol used a middle distance to expand the difference to double digits. Everything seems irreversible.
However, at this time, Harden stood up!
Prior to this, Harden had always been a neglected man for the Thunder. He averaged 19 points in the two games, neither good nor bad. He barely made it. But if he is critical, I am afraid it is not enough. After all, people’s eyes are focused on Duran. On Te and Westbrook, but from the third quarter, Harden started his own performance!
After Durant was guarded by Ji Feng, the cold wind bounced into the start with 3 points. Throughout the third quarter, Harden scored 18 points from outside shots to help the Thunder expand the point difference to 4 points before the end of the three quarters.
In the fourth quarter, Harden sent out consecutive assists. At the critical moment, Harden hit the CIC to tie the score difference!
At the last moment, Harden actually grabbed an offensive rebound and assisted Durant to overtake the score…
