Westbrook left the game early without saying a word, which suited his character well.

In the eyes of others, this may be a very ungraceful behavior, but in the eyes of acquaintances like Erniu, it is quite a cute performance.

That's right, it's cute.

Men with girlfriends have experienced similar things, and when a woman loses her temper, will there be any good results if you fight with her?

At the end of the day, compromise is a pleasure, especially if a man takes advantage.

Well, that's far away!

Durant slapped Erniu and said, "See you next!"

The Thunder haven't lost their fighting spirit, even though they've been slaughtered by the Los Angeles Clippers more than once this season.

In his post-match press conference, Thunder coach Scott Brooks said: "We have to play more aggressively, like we did in the last round. The Clippers did better than us on both ends of the floor, and that forced us to make changes. ”

Scott Brooks is not pedantic, the Clippers can't be handled by defense alone, and the Thunder will have to show something on the offensive end to contain the Los Angeles people.

Erniu and Xibodeo also attended the press conference afterwards.

A local reporter in Los Angeles even asked directly: "Will you continue to sweep your opponents and advance to the finals?"

With the Clippers having swept their opponents in two straight rounds of the playoffs, the just-concluded G1 has once again completed the slaughter, which is sure to make people think about it.

Erniu said calmly: "The West Finals has just played the first battle, and it's too early to talk about sweeping!"

We don't set ourselves such goals, we have to make sure we advance first, and as for sweeping or not, it's not something we care about.

Of course, we have full confidence that we will make it to the finals. ”

Another reporter asked: "Did the Clippers find a way to defend the outside of the Thunder, in this game, Durant, Westbrook, and Harden accounted for nearly 70% of the team's total shots, but none of them shot 45%, does this mean that the Clippers' defensive results are remarkable?"

Thibodeau smiled and replied, "Thank you for saying everything I wanted to say, and for doing your homework accurately!"

Finally, a reporter raised the question of "bull dependence" that the old producer talked about: "You got a high score of 45 points tonight, accounting for about 35% of the team's scores, will this have a bad impact on the team's overall performance?"

Ruan Erniu spread his hands and said, "I have been asked similar questions since I was an eagle, and then we established a dynasty. I can still hear it when I get to the Clippers, and I think that's a good sign. ”

The domineering answer is just speechless.

What about taking a lot of the right to sell?

When a player's shooting percentage is well above the league average, they shouldn't be blamed.

What's more, the right to shoot and the ball are not the same concept in the first place.

Many of Erniu's shots are made under the premise of running without the ball, otherwise how did Paul get so many assists?

A superstar who can switch between with and without the ball is never annoying, and the strength of the bull has never relied solely on the so-called poisonous style of play.

Hehe, utilitarian said, if you can't invest it, it's called a tumor, and if you put it in, you're a savior!

If it weren't for the Western Finals, Erniu might have invited Westbrook and Durant to have dinner after the game, but after playing G1, they didn't even have a phone call with each other.

There is no one who does not care about honor.

Friendship is friendship, and when it comes to this, no one wants to touch the pinnacle of the alliance.

Back at home, in order to facilitate Erniu's rest, Dr. Han took the initiative to sleep in separate rooms, so as to give Erniu enough time to rest, which is the benefit of a large house.

Erniu is naturally grateful, to be honest, this season's playoffs are the most tiring for Erniu, the arrival of the eldest son, so that he has been in a hurry countless times, and playing basketball well does not help to get up in the middle of the night to make milk powder and change diapers.

It is impossible for people to live in a vacuum, there will always be all kinds of trivial things in life, even if you have a lot of money, even if you are in a high position, there is a high probability that these things will not happen.

Two days later, the Clippers continued to sit at home and continue to compete with the Thunder in G2.

There were no changes to the starting lineups of both sides, and OKC was still reluctant to make changes after losing the first game, or their head coach Brooks was afraid to make changes.

In the regular season, when Sofloza was injured, Brooks used Harden as the team's starter for a while, but the result was that the beard was completely lost, and only the Thunder were left to change hands to decide the winner or loser.

This is obviously not the optimal way to deploy firepower, and in the framework of the Thunder, Harden is indeed more suitable to appear on the bench.

As for the Clippers' starters not making changes, it's understandable because the winners don't need to change.

Jordan Jr. still won the jump ball with ease, and Perkins is not only slow now, but also has no advantage in bounce.

In the regular season, he was repeatedly blocked by the head of the second bull and was ranked among the top five of the month.

On the offensive end of the Clippers, JJ Redick missed a long shot, but Erniu won the rebound in the frontcourt and moved the ball directly to the other side of the basket after a false trick to fly Ibaka.

Jordan Jr. leaps high and completes a violent basket on Perkins' head.

The atmosphere at the Staples Center was ignited, fans always like to watch violent dunk performances, and since the emergence of Paul, Erniu, and Jordan Jr., the Clippers have brought Los Angeles the reputation of "the city of empty connections".

However, there are also fans of the Celestial Empire who jokingly call it "California Taoyuan", on the grounds that Uncle Dahuang, Erniu, and Sanpao finally met in Los Angeles.

Thunder possession, Wei Shao held the ball over half the court, and immediately distributed the ball to Durant on the wing, and Durant made a long shot against Kawaii.

"Brush!"

Three-point hit!

The recovery ability of the big tarantula is quite amazing, and it is said that Tony Allen killed Durant last year, but the tarantula still has a shooting rate of more than 44% in the entire series.

Although this stat is lower than Durant's average, by the last two games of the series, he has also adapted to Tony Allen's defense, shooting back to 50%+ from the field.

This is the superstar, and there is a chance to limit his success in some games, and there is little chance of completing it if he wants to completely prevent death.

From this point of view, Kobe Bryant in the 11-12 season is actually gradually stepping out of the ranks of top superstars, even if many of Cormi did not admit it at the time.

Du Shao recovered, but the Clippers didn't panic at all, because the Thunder made a stupid move in G2 - increasing Ibaka's shot.

Yes, Coach Brooks did think of a change, but there was clearly something wrong with his change of thinking.

He mistakenly thinks that adding Serge Ibaka on the offensive end will better drain the bull's defensive energy and cause unexpected problems for the Clippers.

Ibaka holds the ball low and half-turns and shoots from the middle.

"Bang!"

Under the strong confrontation, Ibaka, who is not known for shooting, is unlikely to have any shooting crosshairs.

Another offensive round, almost in the same position, Ibaka leaned on Erniu and wanted to hold the ball and half-turn and cut in, but Erniu stuck in the position, forcing the former to make another difficult sideways shot.

"Bang!"

Still missed!

I don't know if Ibaka didn't learn to behave, or if Brooks made up his mind to make him more aggressive, Ibaka actually got another chance to shoot.

This time, Ibaka got a direct shot into the basket in an air cut.

"Whoosh!"

Ibaka flew straight into the air, and just when he thought he could abuse the basket and let himself go, a big yellow hand suddenly appeared in front of him and flew out with a fan.

Ibaka, who was unstable, watched the figure wearing the No. 88 shirt run faster and faster......

In the other half, the Celestial Empire ended the transition with a brilliant tomahawk slam.

At the end of the first quarter of the game, whether it was Durant who scored 12 points on 5-of-7 shots and 2-of-2 three-pointers in a single quarter, or Harden, who scored 6 points efficiently on 2-of-2 shots and 2-of-2 free throws in rotation time, all completed their respective tasks well.

Westbrook still couldn't find an efficient scoring touch under Paul's defense, scoring just two points on 1-of-4 shooting in the quarter.

Of course, the most devastating thing for Thunder fans can only be Ibaka, who was completely locked by Erniu.

In this quarter, he shot 0-of-6 without any points, and the only bright spot in the statistics was that he got a frontcourt rebound in front of Erniu.

If the length of 28 Kabi is a certain part, Erniu will be a little weak, but when it comes to offensive skills, even Kraft Nguyen, who played basketball for 2 months in college, is far better than the current Ibaka.

Basketball talent is never evenly distributed.

As the head coach of the Thunder, Brooks actually wanted to let Ibaka face the defense of three consecutive D-POY to attack, which is indeed an impossible task.

At 22:32, just like G1, the Clippers took a big lead in the first quarter of the game.

The difference is that this time it is the Thunder himself who has to attack the enemy's strengths with his own shortcomings.

Fortunately, in the second quarter of the game, Harden was in a brave state, and after hitting a mid-range jumper in a row, he made a strong basket and scored a basket, causing a foul on Nick Yang and making it 2+1.

Superstars are difficult to completely prevent death, and Nick Young's defense is certainly not as bad as some experts think, but it is unrealistic to completely block Harden like the first three quarters of G1.

Harden opened up this point, but Fisher planted a head on Thomas Jr. again.

It's okay for Lao Yu to be passed by various steps on the defensive end, but on the offensive end, he also didn't take advantage of the opportunity.

Also in the rotation time, Fisher shot 1 of 6 and only hit one shot in several rounds, and with the advantage of height and strength, he actually let the Clippers' little assassin to prevent it!

It's not for nothing that Thomas Jr. was selected as this year's Rookie of the Year.

In the second half of the season, he was able to average close to 9+5 per game, which proves that he does have a brush on the offensive end.

Coupled with the advantage of not having to play directly at the top number one in the rotation, Thomas Jr.'s disadvantage on the defensive end is further concealed.

A good team system can always help players develop their strengths and avoid weaknesses.

There has never been a perfect player in the world, even if they are as strong as Jordan, Erniu, James, and Durant, but even if some role players are flawed, it does not prevent them from playing a huge role in the system.

Just like Rondo is to the Celtics, no matter what Kuroko says, under Green Kai's system, Rondo is the fourth giant, after all, data doesn't lie.

After the main forces of the two sides returned to the field, it was another chaotic battle.

Fortunately for the thunder, Wei Shao's hit rate is climbing rapidly, and I don't know if he has sneaked into the sewers during the interval.

At 22:25, the Thunder still trailed by 3 points in the first quarter.

At halftime, the two teams played the game at 44:57, and the Clippers temporarily led the opponent with a 13-point lead.

The break passed quickly and the two sides entered the second half.

The third quarter of G2 was completely different from G1, and the two sides started a period of mutual explosion without warning, and at the same time on the offensive end.

Durant and Westbrook fancy hammers here, Ruan Erniu and Paul over there are also all kinds of biao.

The tempo of both sides was fast, and the shooting percentage was not low.

Dewey's two less single-quarter scores are all double-doubles, and the combination of pickled girls here is not much worse.

Looking up at the score, 32:37, the side leading in the single quarter is still the Clippers.

The undying Thunder launched a Jedi counterattack in the final quarter of the game.

Harden had a big explosion tonight, he broke Nick Young in rotation time, more than once attacked the basket, hit 2+1, and Beard proved with his strong body that he is not the best sixth man at all.

Yang Shaoxia did not feel good, Thomas Jr.'s performance in the final quarter was relatively average, and the Thunder increased their joint defense during rotation time, which undoubtedly made Thomas Jr.'s breakthrough difficult.

Rookies are still rookies in the end, and a stage like the playoffs is still a little difficult for them.

The Thunder took the opportunity to play a wave of 16:2 in rotation time, and the scores of the two teams were immediately chased to within 5 points.

With seven minutes remaining, the race tightened up.

In the final moments, Thibodeau also didn't give fellow rookie kawaii more credit, and the Clippers chose the No. 3 spot in the second half of the final quarter as Sean Battier.

As it turned out, it was the right choice again.

The same thing happened in G1, when all the Thunder players focused their defensive attention on the two bulls, three guns and even Redick and Nick Young, and Battier was let go many times.

In other words, Ruan Er, who is extremely strong in the low post, has forced OKC to shrink defense, and Durant, who has invested too much energy on the offensive end, is also unable to continue to cause problems for Battier on the defensive end.

"Brush!", "Brush!", "Brush!"

Battier helped his team close the game in the same way as before.

Unlike the icing on the cake of G1, this time Battier's three-point rain can be described as a relief in the snow.

At 111:121, the Clippers won G2 without danger, and the big score was 2:0 to complete the first two home courts of the Western Conference Finals.
