Kobe Bryant scored 15 points in the first quarter, and normally, when the devilish No. 24 starts scoring performances like this, the game is usually no longer in suspense.

In the second quarter of the game, Kobe Bryant's backhand dunk after a breakthrough and an empty dunk after receiving a pass from a teammate seemed to swear that he had not grown old.

But in this game, Kevin Durant used his super explosive scoring ability to dash the hopes of the Los Angeles Lakers! At the same time, it also swears that it belongs to the era of Kobe Bryant, and it is completely over!

Durant, Harden and Westbrook scored 25, 17 and 28 points respectively, and they defeated Kobe Bryant, who scored 42 points in a single game, and the Thunder's reputation as a three-man has shocked the entire league.

The moment the electronic buzzer sounded, the whole of Los Angeles fell into despair! The Los Angeles Lakers, who just won the championship two years ago, lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder, who only played the playoffs for the first time two years ago!

This rapidly growing youth corps has quietly become the most powerful force in the west!

4-1, the Oklahoma City Thunder cleanly took out the invincible Los Angeles Lakers. The powerful Purple and Gold Army, in front of the young thunder, looked powerless.

After the game, Durant faced the camera with a serious face. Although he had just defeated the league's most prestigious team, Durant still didn't have too excited on his face, "Everyone is saying that we are too young, our time has not yet come, we are not ready...... But I have to say, I think it's time! No matter who my next opponent is, we'll keep fighting to the end! ”

Seeing this, Link turned off the TV. This is the video of the game three days ago, at that time, the Grizzlies had not eliminated the Spurs, so Durant's words did not clearly point to Link.

But now, the Grizzlies have eliminated the Spurs 4-2. Therefore, Durant's sentence "We will continue to kill to the end" has undoubtedly become Durant's gift to Link.

Maybe from the beginning, Durant's words were actually said to Link. Link believes that Belly Black Du must not have forgotten last year's loss in the playoffs. Since then, Durant has been eager to crush the Grizzlies and Link in the series.

This is not difficult to see from the fierce battle between the two sides in the regular season. As long as there is a game with Link, Durant will not be soft!

Thinking of Durant's serious expression on the screen, Link felt a lot of pressure. Today's Durant is the scoring champion for three consecutive years! He was selected for the best team for two consecutive years! He has come out of his childhood and is beginning to mature.

Dealing with such an opponent is not as simple as dealing with a young Leonard.

Durant will definitely do his best to be ashamed. And most importantly, Durant has a lot of helpers around him.

Harden, the Sixth Man of the Season, played like a superstar in the playoffs. In the Western Conference semifinals, he averaged 16 points on just 10 shots per game.

Westbrook, he's been famous for a long time. As long as he doesn't explode on the spot, he's a good player.

Sergi Ibaka, an all-around No. 4 who can attack and defend well. In terms of foot movement, he has a huge advantage over Randolph!

Of course, Kendrick Perkins can't be missing. Although in terms of data, Perkins is not very impressive. But his role on the defensive end is something that the stats can't tell.

Even the paranoid Kobe Bryant and his Lakers were killed, which shows how strong the Thunder are this season.

The Grizzlies were able to reach the Western Conference Finals again this year, and they were actually done with their scheduled tasks. But with the Western Conference Championship trophy in sight, who wouldn't want to go for it?

All you need to win is four matches to lift the trophy above your head. Link will try it anyway.

It's not terrible that the opponent is strong, but what is terrible is that the opponent is strong.

The Grizzlies defeated the Spurs 4-2, which still shocked many media outlets. After all, the Spurs have always been a top team in people's minds. Even if you lose, you should lose to an evenly matched opponent.

But no one expected that the Spurs would be eliminated by the Memphis Grizzlies, who have never played a few playoff games in team history, and would be a team led by an undrafted team.

And the Western Conference Finals are also the second year in a row without Kobe and Duncan. This is the first time since 1998 that Kobe Bryant and Duncan have not been featured in the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive years. This undoubtedly indicates that a new era has dawned.

Kobe Bryant and Duncan's domination of the league has come to an end.

The matchup between the Grizzlies and the Thunder, and between Link and Durant, has also been hyped recently. After all, this is the second year in a row that two young strikers have gone head-to-head.

This year, both Link and Durant have become more mature, with Link the most changed. He has not only improved significantly in terms of statistics, but also changed from the second and third offensive points to the core of the team in terms of team positioning.

This time, it's the real Link's team vs. Durant's team.

While both teams have had a great season this year, in the preview of the Western Conference Finals, almost everyone agreed that the Thunder should advance. After all, on paper, the Thunder are much better than the Grizzlies.

The first is the comparison between Link and Durant, last season, Link prevented Durant's shooting percentage from plummeting and became famous. But this year, there is no one who can restrain Durant in this way.

Durant has always been the scoring champion for three consecutive years, and this year, he is second only to James in the VP selection. Moreover, the difference in vote scores between Durant and James is not huge!

In this year's VP selection, James scored 1074 points, and the second place Durant scored 889 points! You know, Paul, who is ranked third, only has a score of 385! So, Durant can already be called a VP-level athlete!

And what about Link? Only one of the most improved players this year has been taken. Although this is also an honor, the gold content is indeed not as good as that of VP and scoring champion. In the words of Kenny Smith, "Both are excellent, but it must be admitted that Link is still a class shorter than KD. ”

Therefore, most people believe that the Thunder will be able to solve the Grizzlies in six games. And it's easy.

But this conclusion was strongly opposed by the Oklahoma media.

"We had a 3-1 record against the Grizzlies during the regular season, and I don't think anything will change in the playoffs. The Thunder allowed the Grizzlies to win at most 1 game, which I can assure is the worst-case scenario. Local media outlets in Oklahoma City tweeted that TNT's 4-2 prediction wasn't accurate enough for the Thunder to make Game 6 at all.

Westbrook reads the news and enjoys it. It looks like the Thunder have booked a spot in the Finals anyway.

"Kevin, how many games do you think we'll make it to the finals this year?" While scrolling through the news, Westbrook spoke to Durant next to him.

Durant doesn't have a lot of expression, he's wearing sneakers. So, he coldly replied with an answer that surprised Westbrook, "Four!" ”

Hearing this answer, Westbrook was stunned for a moment. Listen, is this Nima the words of a man? At first, TNT said it was 4 to 2, and later the Oklahoma media said that 4 to 1 could kill the Grizzlies. It's good now, Durant directly wants to advance 4-0!

Sure enough, the belly is black!

After Durant finished speaking, he jumped on the spot twice, and then stepped into the training arena first. His eyes were so focused, so cold. It's like a Grim Reaper with a scythe!

It seems that this guy is not just talking.
