The rest of the Western Conference is the Lakers vs. the Thunder.

The Lakers are naturally no longer the defending champions in the past two years, they don't have the hard power to compete for the championship, but because this team has Kobe Bryant, this team is still considered by all experts to be a team that will create possibilities.

Of course, in the eyes of more people, this game is a series of the change of power in the West, in the eyes of most people, after this series, the Thunder will become a strong team in the West in the next few years, in the eyes of these people, when talking about the top teams in the West in the future, the Thunder must be a name that everyone can't avoid.

The Lakers will gradually go to the trough after this series, but the transition of the throne is like this, no team can fight against time, the Celtics, who won eight consecutive championships, and the Bulls, who won three consecutive championships twice in the 90s, have now become the dust of history?

This Lakers team is not that great, and for this reason, they naturally can't avoid the loss of time.

However, despite this, the final winner of the first game of these two teams was somewhat beyond everyone's expectations, and the final winner of the first game was the Lakers.

Kobe Bryant scored a total of 28 points in this game, especially in the crucial fourth quarter, when he scored 15 points alone, and finally the Lakers took the series home advantage from the Thunder to Los Angeles with a 108-105, 3-point difference under his play.

"We're not old yet, two years ago, we were still champions, we have our own glory, it's not something that anyone can easily replace, so if you want to beat us, it's better to be mentally prepared first, we can't beat it so easily, and we can even beat all the opponents!"

Kobe Bryant's domineering words after the game also made the fans excited after the game:

"That's why I like Kobe, he's always full of confidence, and that confidence always allows him to do some incredible performances, he's just that, yes, I want to say, the Thunder are really good, but if Kobe Bryant doesn't want to put down the crown on his head, then no one can let him take the crown!"

"Many people are saying that this era already belongs to Yi, belongs to LeBron, belongs to Kevin Durant, many people are saying that this is an era of small forwards, and they deliberately ignore Kobe, but don't forget, Black Mamba just broke Michael Jordan's record in the All-Star Game, and he became the player with the highest total points in the All-Star Game, okay! Some people may say that this is a qualification, but listen, Kobe Bryant continues to break some records, and before he stops his tracks, please still treat him as the scariest guy in this league, otherwise, he will definitely suffer! ”

"That's Kobe Bryant, that's why he's called the closest guy to Michael Jordan, don't underestimate him, he's going to make you pay more than just home advantage, maybe even more!"

……

Kobe Bryant's fans were very excited about Kobe Bryant's performance in the first game, because they had seen so many reports before the game that they were not optimistic about the team, and they just couldn't refute it.

The performance of the Lakers this season is indeed inferior to the Thunder team, and the overall strength is indeed inferior to the Thunder team on paper, and from the perspective of the talent of the lineup, the Lakers team was also full of talent at the beginning, and now it has become a group of veterans!

It is precisely because they can't refute that these guys can only secretly cheer for Kobe and his Lakers in their hearts, they want to see Kobe win, so that they can take this bad breath, and the fact is that Kobe did it, and the time after the first game of the series has become their carnival time.

But what they didn't expect was that these experts and fans were still not optimistic about the Lakers, they thought that the final victory would still belong to the Thunder, because they felt that the Lakers had no ability to defeat the Thunder at all, maybe Kobe Bryant counted as one, but he couldn't contribute 14 points in the last quarter of every game, which is too difficult, and the people who can do this, in the eyes of many experts, only Yi Jianlian, maybe Kobe Bryant when he was young, can also do it, but now, he can't do it, His physical strength restricts him from doing such a thing!

From the fact that after the first game, Kobe Bryant sat on the bench and rested for a long time before standing up, it can be seen that he no longer has the physical fitness he had when he scored 81 points in a single game that year!

He's getting old.

The experts still support the Thunder, which makes Kobe Bryant's fans feel a little unreasonable, but in the second game they found that these experts may be right!

Because in the second game, the Thunder won, and won very easily, Kobe Bryant failed to score 14 points in a row in the final quarter like the previous game!

He still scored 32 points in this game, more than the previous game, but he only scored 8 points in the final quarter, which is already high for other stars, but for Kobe, for Kobe, for Kobe, who is hung on him by the whole team, such a contribution is not enough to help the team win!

The score was levelled at 1-1!

In the eyes of Lakers fans, this means that the Lakers still have home-court advantage, so they are optimistic, because they will answer the home court next, and under the watchful eyes of the home fans, they believe that the Lakers will continue to win.

Heading to Oklahoma with a 3-1 score.

I have to say that Lakers fans guessed a little accurately.

The final score was really 3-1!

The leading side, though, is the Thunder, who have made it two straight wins on the Lakers' home court.

The hero of the two-game winning streak was Kevin Durant, the Thunder leader who had a tepid performance in the first two games of the series, scoring 36 and 40 points in both games, respectively.

With super offensive firepower, they helped the Thunder win two games in a row, and they retreated from the Lakers' home court, and they didn't just get back the home-court advantage, they also got back three match points, and in the next three games, they only need to win one game to win.

The Lakers battled to the death in Game 5 of the series, but in the end, Kevin Durant extended the margin to 15 points with a mid-range shot to seal the victory.

In this game, Kevin Durant scored another 35 points, becoming the first player in Thunder history to score more than 35 points in three consecutive games in the playoffs!

4-1！

The Lakers are out.
