The NBA playoffs are still in full swing, and with the exception of the Western Conference semifinals between the Grizzlies and the Clippers, the rest of the games are far more intense than people think.

At first, people did think that the Grizzlies had a better chance of winning, but they didn't expect the Clippers to not even be able to bite a game. The gap between the fourth and first places in the West seems to be directly faulty.

But it is worth mentioning that the Miami Heat was also very strong in the second round, although they did not sweep the opponent, but still won the Bulls without Rose with a total score of 4-1 and easily advanced.

4-1, which is the largest series of total scores in the divisional semifinals except for the Grizzlies' 4-0.

It seems that the chances of these two strong teams meeting in the finals seem to have improved a lot. The promotional advertisement of Link VS James has been put in every corner of the world by the NBA.

Think about this time last year, the whole league was hyping up a 35vs6 matchup, and whenever Link turned on the TV, he would see ads for Durant and James.

But this year, it's Link himself who is on the ad. It seems that even the league is very optimistic that the Grizzlies can advance to the Finals. So this year, I definitely won't run into something as fucking as the "Thunder Three Whistles".

But right now, you don't have the energy to think about anything related to the Heat. Rushing out of the west is the most important goal at present.

It is also a goal that the Grizzlies have been unable to accomplish for the past two years.

On the western side, the Thunder and Spurs are as people imagine, and they are inseparable from each other. The Thunder won the Spurs by 13 points in the first game, but in the second game, the Spurs immediately returned the Thunder with a 7-point victory.

This season, although James. Harden left Houston, but the Thunder, who have Westbrook and Durant, are still strong. And, Kevin. Martin also somewhat filled the void left by Harden's departure. There is no doubt that the Thunder's goal is to win the championship, to get back what they lost last year.

The San Antonio Spurs, on the other hand, are already salivating over the championship trophy this year after two seasons of setbacks. The humiliation of being eliminated by the Grizzlies for the second year in a row, the Spurs won't allow themselves to experience a third time.

Duncan's form has continued to improve this year, and his scoring average has reached a three-year high. Leonard has improved significantly, and he has grown from a small transparent last year to a hot potential star in the league. Danny. Green has risen, Tony. Parker and Ginobili are also healthy......

Under such circumstances, Spurs will not easily give up the opportunity to win the championship.

So far, the Thunder and Spurs have been tied 2-2. Compared with the Grizzlies' 4-0 sweep of the Clippers, the series between the Thunder and the Spurs is a bit of what the Western Conference semifinals should look like.

Watching these two teams fight each other in the playoffs, the happiest is undoubtedly Link. Whoever advances, the Spurs and the Thunder, will inevitably expend a lot of energy and physical energy if they want to crush each other. These things are undoubtedly very beneficial to the grizzly bears.

Now all the Grizzlies have to do is get ready for both. For both the Thunder and the Grizzlies, Stevens arranged special tactical drills. Anyway, now that the Grizzlies have adjustment time, who will make them the first team to advance in the league?

On May 16, the Grizzlies ended their practice early. Link didn't stay behind to practice today, but drove home early.

It's not because Link is slacking off, it's because today is the day of Game 6 of the Thunder-Spurs series. And at this time, the Thunder had already won the match point with a total score of 3-2.

If they win again today, the Grizzlies' opponent in the second round will be determined!

Of course, Link is very concerned about who his opponent is in the next round, and the game between the Thunder and the Spurs, Link will take the time to study it carefully. Therefore, his "extra training" tonight must be carried out with his eyes and mind.

Previously, the Spurs and Thunder played to a 2-2 draw. In the last key battle, Durant scored 36 points to help the Thunder get a match point.

At this time, Leonard is not yet complete, but judging from Link's past experience with Leonard, that taciturn guy is still not easy to mess with.

And Durant was able to easily score 36 points on Leonard, which shows how good his form is.

Today was a fateful night for Spurs. If you win, you continue, and if you lose, you go home. As a result, Link believes they're sure to cause big trouble for the Thunder.

Until now, Link also thinks that the Spurs and Thunder should split the winners and losers through a tiebreaker.

As a result, the grizzlies also have more days to rest.

But as soon as the game began, Durant went straight into a rampage!

In the first quarter of the game, Durant scored 12 points in a single quarter. What surprised Link was not Durant's 12 points in a single quarter, but Westbrook's timely passes again and again!

This year's playoffs, Westbrook seems to be starting to focus on playmaking and passing, and in addition to the usual impact paint area hard steel, Westbrook is starting to control the game more like a No. 1 position. Durant's offense with the ball has started to decline this year, with more off-ball runs and open cuts. The main reason is that he used to run for nothing, and the ball basically couldn't be passed in the hands of Westbrook or Harden. But this year, after Westbrook took the initiative to change, the Thunder's tactical execution was better than ever.

In the first quarter, with the tacit cooperation of Durant and Westbrook, the Thunder led the Spurs by 6 points.

And in the second quarter, Sergi. Ibaka is starting to play a bit as well!

Sergi. Ibaka is in the fourth grade this year, and he has grown from a little transparent at the beginning to an out-and-out star player!

During the regular season, Ibaka averaged 13.2 points per game, a career high! At the same time, he averaged 3.0 blocks per game! While winning the block king for two consecutive seasons, he was also selected as the best defensive team last season!

Randolph, who had a bad knee last season, was abused against Ibaka, and it can be said that he was abused to the fullest.

And this year, Ibaka has performed quite well even against Duncan, one of the best power forwards in NBA history.

Ibaka threw a lot of shots in the second quarter, which put Duncan under great pressure. Ibaka's tactical position in the Thunder is actually very high, if Ibaka is missing, even if Westbrook and Durant are there, the Thunder may not be able to pass the Spurs.

Under Ibaka's active defense, Duncan played erratically in the second quarter, shooting 0-of-3 and scoring a point.

At halftime, Link couldn't help but make up for it. Popovich was furious, but Duncan's expressionless picture was so funny.

But even so, Spurs are only eight points behind. The Spurs are a team-type team, and a star is dumb and not so bad that they will collapse directly. That's what characterizes Spurs and what makes them scary.

Link thought that in the second half, the two sides would fight fiercely. However, the Thunder's performance took Link by surprise.

In the second half of the game, Durant was on fire. With Martin, Sephorosa and Westbrook in check, the Spurs can't defend Durant too tightly.

Then, Durant won the matchup with Kawai completely. This season's Durant is simply unstoppable, although he lost the regular season scoring title, but in Link's opinion, Durant is stronger than before. In the playoffs, Durant's average of 30.8 points per game is enough to say it all!

Now, Durant is the deserving playoff scoring champion!

His jumpers, breakaways, and strong offenses all left Leonard helpless. The more Link looked, the tighter his fists squeezed.

It seems that Jean Jimmy. Butler et al. were prepared for the clear choice. Because in Durant's state, he can't be stopped casually.

The Spurs, on the other hand, could not stand up for a man who could score consistently. Leonard is still immature on the offensive end, and the offense of the GDP trio is also intermittent under the strong defense of the Thunder.

Danny. Green made three three-pointers in a single quarter, but under Durant's powerful firepower, these three three-pointers were like stones thrown into the ocean, unable to cause any waves.

In the third quarter, the Spurs were completely destroyed. Link only saw Durant's goals again and again!

In the end, the Thunder took a 13-point lead into the fourth quarter! The Thunder, who were eliminated early in history, are now forcing the Spurs into a desperate situation!

In the final 12 minutes, Spurs still failed to organize an effective counter-attack. It seems that the Spurs can really only wait for Leonard to fully grow up next year and then start over.

This year, the Spurs didn't get their wish to be eliminated by the Grizzlies. But Link believes Popovich won't be happy.

In the end, the Thunder defeated the Spurs 112-98 at the ATT Center and advanced to the Western Conference Finals with a total score of 4-2!

Just when everyone thought that the series between the Spurs and the Thunder would continue to be scorching, the Thunder suddenly kicked the San Antonio Spurs out of the game with a wave of two consecutive wins!

And the Thunder and Grizzlies will meet in the Western Conference Finals for the second year in a row!

It's not that enemies don't meet, the feud between Link and Durant will continue to be staged at the highest level in the West!

After the game, Durant, who scored 42 points and 8 rebounds and shot 52.4% from the field, was interviewed by ESPN reporters.

"Congratulations, KD, you played a near-perfect game. Next time, when you reappear, your opponent will be the Memphis Grizzlies! It's no secret that the Grizzlies have been unbeatable this season, and they are yet to lose in the playoffs! Link has also grown up very fast, and he is only 9 votes short of winning the MVP this year. So this year, do you still have the confidence to win? ”

Link...... Grizzly bear...... The Western Conference Finals, these words are mixed up, and it doesn't sound very good to Durant. So, although he just won against the Spurs, Durant didn't have a smile on his face.

"The result is not going to change, we are aiming for the championship and we are ready to draw against all our opponents. Link? He could have come and try, but it certainly wouldn't work! ”

After Durant finished speaking, he stared at the camera for a few seconds, as if he could see through the camera and the Grizzlies players in front of the TV.

The playoff trilogy with Belly Black Du finally came inevitablely.

Link rubbed his hands excitedly, the Thunder won today really beautifully. But this year, he won't let the Thunder waste another chance to hit the championship!

If you can't, then replace us! See you in Memphis two days later!
