Chapter 267: Ice and Fire (5/5)

Durant scored another 13 points in the final quarter to directly help the Thunder narrowly defeat the Spurs 106-101, forcing the game to 2-3!

Durant's 53 points in a single game set a new record for points in a single playoff game, which is higher than James's 51 points!

And he shot 22 of 31 from the field, and the high shooting rate was scary!

In fact, not to mention that the fans are crazy on the hotline, Tang Tian also didn't expect it.

In Durant's previous life, he remembered that he had not scored more than 50 points in a single game in the playoffs in his entire career, and he didn't expect to score it this year.

Scoring so many points without developing other techniques, it can really only be said that he didn't feel hot tonight.

But it's not too magical.

The current Durant can shoot accurately, and he could have been superb.

If I have to say it, it can only be that everyone felt that the Thunder team was unlucky before the game, and this flag was too big.

Winning Game 4 boosted the Spurs' chances of qualifying, but losing Game 5 made it seem like the situation was tilting in the Thunder's favor again.

Seven series may seem like a lot, but each win or loss can make a difference.

According to the schedule, the next game of the series will be played at the Thunder's home court.

As long as the Thunder can hold on to this home court, the series will go to a tiebreaker.

As Kenny Smith said in the commentary, when the game really goes into a tie-break, the young Thunder will obviously have an advantage.

It may seem like the Spurs are still a half-court lead, but in fact, they are not much different from the Thunder in terms of handling.

At the end of the day's training session, Popovich pulled Tang Tian into his coach's office alone.

Closed the door, took out a bottle of red wine from the cabinet, and said with a smile: "80 years of Igan Manor red wine, I owe you what I said last time." ”

The scene is just the opposite of the last time.

This time, it was Popovich who took the initiative to invite Tang Tian to drink red wine.

Tang Tian can think of Popovich with his ass, what is this trying to do.

This little look is exactly the same as Cajon's back then.

"Old man, to be honest, our tactics are fine."

Before Tang Tian drank, he said very frankly.

Popovich smiled and motioned for Tang Tian to drink.

In fact, he also knew very well that the tactics were no problem, and he was looking for Tang Tianlai to try his luck, but more often than not, he was purely looking for someone to drink.

Before Tang Tian came, Ginobili and them were often his guests.

It's just that their understanding of wine is much worse than Tang Tian's.

Tang Tian picked up the wine glass and shook it, sniffed it, and then took a sip.

Sure enough, it was much sweeter than the previous 90 vintage.

One bite is endless.

This is red wine, and the older it is, the more valuable and delicious it is.

Popovich didn't take a bite of it directly this time, and it was also a little bit of a taste.

I can feel it, this is probably his treasured wine.

"Old man, if the only thing I can do is for me to increase the defensive intensity of Durant, so that he will not be misplaced to play others."

Tang Tian said after putting down the wine glass.

"It's hard to force this kind of thing."

Popovich said, looking at him.

Around the block, Tang Tian can do a perfect job when defending against a pure off-ball player like Thompson, but Durant has the ability to attack independently.

Against a player like Durant, it's impossible to really keep him from playing the wrong position.

"I have a way to do this."

"Do you have a way?" Popovich looked at him with blazing eyes.

"Old man, you don't play games, but one of the hottest RTS games right now is called Warcraft." Tang Tian opened his mouth and said.

After 12 years, although the peak of Warcraft has passed, it is still very popular in the world.

Popovich shook his head, you told him that the drink was okay, and that the game was hard for him.

"There's a breed in there called Mountain Giants, and they have a skill called Taunt." Tang Tian continued.

Popovich glanced at Tang Tian after hearing this.

This young man speaks the same as an old man like him, and a simple thing has to be said in a roundabout way.

The scalp of the show is numb.

"Are you sure you can do it?"

Popovich still didn't forget to ask more.

Tang Tian's words, in his impression, are still players who play calmly.

"If it doesn't work, I'll beat him."

Tang Tian said jokingly.

Popovich was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh.

He had almost forgotten about the last time Tang Tian beat Martin.

This rookie, with two heavens of ice and fire, is really a little incomprehensible.

However, if Popovich understands constellations, he probably understands that Tang Tian is a Gemini!

After a two-day break in San Antonio, the Spurs flew to Oklahoma City on game day.

The sixth game of the Western Conference will be played here.

At this time, the playoffs have also come to the most white-hot stage.

The Thunder trailed the Spurs 2-3.

In the East, the Heat, who are aiming to win the championship, also trailed the Celtics 2-3.

The next game is an absolute life-and-death battle for both the Thunder and the Heat.

The Russian media also went crazy before the game, and the atmosphere was the strongest in the entire series.

Regardless of the outcome of this game, this will be the last home court of the Thunder's Western Conference Finals.

They also give everything they have.

Popovich frowned as he looked at the atmosphere.

Tonight's game is not destined to be an easy one.

At the opening ceremony before the game, the Pisacek Energy Arena seemed to be burning, and the noisy decibels shook people's eardrums.

Both sides were in the same starting line-up as in the last game.

On the Thunder's side, Harden still plays off the bench, and the combination of Rosa and Perkins is a three-young team.

The Spurs, on their side, are also a combination of the three wings, Gaper and Duncan.

Ibaka jumped to Duncan for the sixth time in the series to get the home team the chance to attack first.

Westbrook got to the front court to hold the ball, and Durant immediately began to call for a pick-and-roll ready to find a misplaced opportunity.

The coaches and players will give a summary after each game.

In the last game, Durant's mismatch advantage was so big that it was not appropriate for the Thunder not to take advantage of it.

"Are you in such a hurry to drink bathwater?"

Durant was just about to run, but when he heard Tang Tian's words, he was suddenly stunned.

"If you want, I can help you get it, I know her well."

Tang Tian continued.

Durant hadn't reacted yet, but this time he heard it clearly.

Tang Tian is spewing trash talk at him!

And it's quite vicious!

His brow furrowed.

"Shut up!"

He is not a person with a calm personality, so he stopped directly at this moment, shouted and attacked Tang Tian.

Tang Tian also responded without showing weakness.

The referee immediately blew the whistle and separated the two.

After the separation, Durant was still scolding and scolding, looking very angry.

Popovich was sitting on the bench, and when he saw Durant's explosive reaction at the beginning, he suddenly felt as if he didn't know Tang Tian.

Tang Tian looked at this posture, he was completely a villain on the court!
