Some say that a basketball is in its prime.

The giants of all walks of life will continue to fight for the O'Brien Cup.

They both lost to the Warriors last year, and this year they're coming back.

The Los Angeles Lakers will still have to face the San Antonio Spurs.

When the timeline rolls into the 21st century, the entanglement between the Los Angeles Lakers and the San Antonio Spurs never stops.

Since the beginning of the new century, the teams participating in the finals in the West have either these two teams or their opponents.

Last year, Chris Paul missed out on a stunner, and this year they are back with the addition of Dwight Howard.

"We have no choice." Po Povich said at an internal meeting.

"The Golden State Warriors only gave us the only option." Po Povic said: "We have to fight the Los Angeles Lakers. ”

Po Povich sometimes chooses to forfeit some games, pick a good term and avoid some opponents he doesn't want to see before the Western Conference Finals.

But in the past two years, the Golden State Warriors have been so strong that they simply don't have any more options.

They have to fight to the death against the Los Angeles Lakers, and their odds of winning this year are clearly not as good as last year.

"Kawhi (Leonard)" Po Povic said: "Whether you can guard Kobe Bryant or not will be the key to our victory. ”

"Dwight (Howard) doesn't have to worry about it, Kobe Bryant is the guy we should be most careful about." Po Povich began to develop a detailed game plan.

On the other side, the Lakers were also concentrated in the conference room, and they didn't even make it to the Western Conference finals last year, which was a huge defeat for them.

"This time, we have to win this series." Kobe Bryant gritted his teeth and said fiercely.

Compared with these two old opponents who have lasted for more than ten years, they add new hatred to old hatred, which is full of topicality.

On the other hand, the Warriors and Thunder have no old grudges, but their new feuds are the most intense.

The Oklahoma media has made a gesture of "killing" the Warriors, saying that this is the best chance for revenge, and that if the Warriors are eliminated, they will win all of their grievances against the Golden State Warriors.

"All the grudges used to be like shit, and as long as we win the series, Jack Chan and his team will be a complete laughing stock."

'It's the best chance and we have to win.'

Oklahoma's hate propaganda was in place, and with Westbrook and Chen Mo barely dying every time they met, the Thunder pre-war meeting was swirling with low pressure from the start.

"There's no other way." Westbrook said, "Roll up your sleeves and do it." ”

"Anyway, there are two outcomes in the game, either win or lose." "And we don't have a lot of strategy to talk about, so the final meeting in the regular season is a very good lesson and we're going to win," Westbrook said. ”

Durant nodded, agreeing with Westbrook.

The playoffs are all about alignment, and the Thunder don't have the slightest advantage in terms of alignment.

The two strongest points of the Thunder are Erxiao, and the Warriors' No. 1 position is Chen Mo, and the Warriors have the best forward group in the league, plus Barnes, who found confidence at the end of the season, the Warriors' forward group is really terrible.

"Actually, the Thunder vs. the Warriors. Westbrook is barely up to date with Chen Mo, and Durant will also be caught in the endless wheel battle of the Warriors. Even if Durant is an iron man, how many games can he sustain? ”

Most of the reviews weren't actually bullish on the Thunder.

The Oklahoma media's war-like propaganda has provoked the anger of the fans, and the official forums of the Warriors and Thunder have been paralyzed, and the trolls of both sides are full of combat effectiveness.

But in the confrontation on the Internet, the Thunder has an absolute advantage.

The Warriors' forums are still able to log in in the early hours of the morning US time, but the Thunder's forums have fallen into a 24-hour downtime.

In the early morning of U.S. time, it happened to be daytime in China time, and there were Chinese fans who came over the wall to take over the American fans, and their combat effectiveness was stronger than that of the American navy.

The Auckland media didn't have a big tirade, and most of the media reports were very simple, "actually...... Whether they can win or not, don't they have a little pressure in their hearts? Now, they're just having their last bite before fishing. ”

Of course, Chen Mo knew that the fans on both sides and the media in the two cities were frantically pouring out the firepower of the spray.

But he had no choice, he could only ask weakly at the pre-match press conference: "Isn't there a way to settle grievances?" ”

No one can give him an idea, whether he can settle all the grievances at once, only Chen Mo can figure it out by himself.

"I feel like I have to talk to Russell [Westbrook]." Chen Mo said.

Recently, as long as it is a platform where you can quarrel, it has been full of confrontation between fans of both sides. This kind of long-term online spraying is accidental.

Although, the American professional league has been around for a long time, and their fans are also very professional. But in such a crazy atmosphere, with excessive adrenal hormone secretion, who can guarantee that there will be no accidents?

The Warriors' team reporter told Chen Mo that there was a skirmish between fans of both sides outside the arena just now. Fortunately, the police arrived in time.

"The Oklahoma media is doing a damn inversion." Chen Mo felt that the unscrupulous media's way of taking the initiative to bring rhythm was really annoying.

"It's all self-media now." Jackson said, "Why do you think there are so many people with rhythm? From the side, it shows that the people of Russia really hate you to death. ”

During the warm-up, Chen Mo found Westbrook.

"We shouldn't have much to talk about!" Young Master Wei didn't even raise his eyelids.

Chen Mo shook his head and said, "I think we should have a good talk." ”

"The grievances between us must be resolved." Chen Mo said: "I don't want the fans to be hurt. ”

Strictly speaking, Chen Mo and Westbrook can be regarded as colleagues in the same company and different departments.

Durant has not always looked deeply at the topic of hatred between the two sides. Westbrook glanced at Chen Mo and said, "How do you solve it, I won't admit that I'm inferior to you." ”

"No, I think you'll have to get to the bottom of it." Chen Mo said: "What way can you recognize this fact? ”

Westbrook smiled and said, "Why don't you get a quadruple-double in this series?" ”

"Brother, I think a lot of things have to wait until the game is over." Westbrook said. He turned and threw the ball to the basket. They were standing in half court, and the basketball that Westbrook threw went straight into the basket.

"It's like this basketball, I don't know if he's going to score it until it's thrown out." "But in fact, he went in," Westbrook said. It's like a match between us, before the game is over, who knows who will win? ”

"Okay!" Chen Mo nodded and said, "Perhaps, I know what to do." ”

Chen Mo really carefully studied the content of online fans' spraying.

Many questions focus on whether Chen Mo's personal ability is enough to crush Westbrook.

The word "crushing" is a very ambiguous word, what exactly is it called crushing? Chen Mo can't let Westbrook go for most of a match, but he can do block Westbrook in a short period of time.

Westbrook is a man of personality enough, as evidenced by the way he wears clothes, and he has always been a trendsetter in the NBA.

The conflict between Chen Mo and Thunder is mainly focused on him and Westbrook. As for the contradiction between Chen Mo and Oklahoma, it was just a one-sided humiliation, and it was not enough to cause a quarrel.

The second round of the Golden State Warriors' playoffs officially kicked off on May 4.

If the game between the Spurs and the Lakers is like a jar of old wine that has been brewed for many years, it tastes different every year. The game between the Warriors and the Thunder is like the strongest wine, drinking it in one gulp, it is as violent as fire, but the stamina is not as strong as the former.

There haven't been many changes to the starting lineups for both sides, with the Warriors still fielding their most commonly used starting lineups. Mo, Curry, Millsap, Green and Biedlings.

On the other side, the Thunder's lineup has not changed. Westbrook, Seflosha, Durant, Ibaka and Perkins.

Biedrins had enough height and bounce advantage over the jump ball, and he won the jump ball with ease.

Westbrook wanted to make a surprise steal, but Chen Mo took the lead in controlling the ball and immediately blocked Westbrook's pressing lane.

Then, Chen Mo fought back directly.

When a master makes a move, it is often only a matter of a moment to switch from defense to offense.

Chen Mo sent the ball to his crotch with his right hand, then quickly turned his body to the direction of the basket, and then still received the ball with his right hand, and his legs burst out with extremely strong strength. At this momentary outburst, Westbrook was somewhat unexpected.

The two staggered, and Chen Mo directly pulled up the shot before reaching the three-point line.

Westbrook's hand slid across the back of the ball, his fingertips feeling the wind as it flew out, but he couldn't touch it.

After Chen Mo started the game, he took advantage of the gap that appeared due to Westbrook's steal and directly launched the most fierce offensive. His three-pointer went straight through the basket.

"Huh!"

Chen Mo didn't pay attention to the rippling net flowers, he looked at Westbrook and said, "In this game, I will take 4 pairs!" ”

Westbrook didn't speak, in fact, there was no need for trash talk between him and Chen Mo. He really wanted to step on Chen Mo, not only because he was always compared to Chen Mo, but also because Chen Mo was the biggest obstacle between him and the championship.

Chen Mo has become a curse in Westbrook's heart.

There are only two ways to solve this spell, either give in or shred. Westbrook was never a man to give in, so he chose to shred!

In every confrontation with Chen Mo, Westbrook is also improving. At least, now he won't lose his mind, even if he made a steal mistake and then scored three points than Chen Mo, he still didn't have too many mood swings. Only when Chen Mo said that he wanted to get four doubles in this game, he was stunned.

Westbrook naturally didn't think about the result after Chen Mo got the quadruple-double, and now he is focusing on the game.

Durant came to Westbrook to block and pick, and after the Warriors switched defenses, Westbrook returned the ball directly to Durant. Durant took the ball and shot it directly, it was a three-pointer, and the ball ruthlessly pierced the basket.

"A tooth for a tooth!" Durant said.

Chen Mo glanced at Westbrook, and during the rapid march after the blocking, Westbrook actually made such a return pass. This is something that Westbrook couldn't do before.

Everyone was improving, and Chen Mo's surprise didn't last long.

"Still changing guards." Chen Mo shouted to his teammates, and then held the ball and prepared to organize an attack.

Westbrook can learn to pass the ball to Durant, so the threat of the Thunder is great. Chen Mo must solve Durant in a one-on-one relationship, otherwise he and Curry's backcourt combination will be shot into a sieve by Durant.

Timothy Glenn frowned, he hoped it was Westbrook's genius, otherwise the game would have been a little more magical than they had imagined.

Brooks was delighted, he didn't expect Westbrook to be able to handle the ball like that.

In fact, after watching Chen Mo's game video countless times, Westbrook slowly understood.

The new era of point guards is getting more and more attacking, but the essence of the point guard position is to make the team better.

Chen Mo's attack power is very strong, and if he is full of firepower, he can cut a lot of points, but while Chen Mo is the scoring champion, he has also been crowned the assist king in a record-breaking way.

Chen Mo has never given up assists because of scoring, so he, Westbrook, as a point guard, must also be able to deliver assists.

It's not the assist stats that you get by struggling to give the ball to an open teammate after attracting a bag, it's the kind of assists that are subtle and silent.

Fans will never remember every assist of Chen Mo, although Chen Mo flickered a lot of fancy assists, but after a game, Chen Mo's actual assists must be 5 or 6 more than the assists in the fans' memory.

Westbrook figured it out in Game 6 against Denver, not too soon, but not too late.

Chen Mo's assist to Biedrins allowed the latter to successfully complete the powerful frame with both hands.

If Perkins hadn't booked his seat in advance, he would have had to watch Biedrins perform as an audience.

Westbrook completed the docking with Durant again, and after the pick-and-roll, he sent a pass from the back of his head, and Durant moved sideways and completed a jumper on top of Chen Mo's head. Chen Mo interfered as much as he could, but still let Durant throw the ball in.

This time, Chen Mo was sure that Westbrook's pass just now was not a stroke of genius.

Chen Mo made a gesture with Curry, and they were going to solve the problem of blocking between Westbrook and Durant.

Timothy Glenn wanted to call a timeout, but looking at Chen Mo's impermanent face, it seemed that there was a solution to this problem......
