The Western Conference semifinals between the Lakers and the Thunder will begin soon.

It's a high-profile series.

After all, with the good record in recent years, and coupled with the hot Durant and Westbrook, the Thunder team has a large number of fans, and the recognition around the world is getting higher and higher.

And the Thunder's style of play is more vigorous and ferocious.

But at the end of the day, they still haven't developed a discipline that can really face all teams.

They are like the kind of playboys who wander the world, relying on their young bodies and superior comprehensive qualities to patrol, they will not study anyone too carefully, they will gather if they are fateful, and they will divide when they are scattered, and they will not study you to the slightest detail because you may be a potential opponent, they still just fight if they win, and there is no way to win or not.

They're still young anyway, and they have a lot of time and talent to use.

This time they met the Lakers, but this is a team that doesn't seem to need their hard work to beat, in fact, many people feel that the Lakers don't have much possibility in front of the Thunder.

Before the game began, fans on both sides, including many others, were now expressing their opinions and opinions, and their opinions were basically saying that the Lakers didn't have many opportunities.

"It's amazing that the Lakers can beat or even sweep the Warriors, and many people don't expect it, but you have to say that there is a lot of luck in this, the Warriors are a team that has no way to limit Chen Yu, and there is no way to compete with the Lakers on offense, but the Thunder have an all-around player like Durant, and they also have Westbrook, although basketball is not as simple as competing with superstars, but you have to say that they are all players who are enough to change the game!"

In fact, most people are still more optimistic about the Thunder, whether it is from the strength of the book or from the impression of the past few years, the Thunder is a better team anyway.

"No matter how you look at it, the Lakers are no match for the Thunder, and if the Lakers want to beat the Thunder, unless Kobe Bryant returns from injury! But now Kobe Bryant is recovering from an injury, so it's clear that the Lakers are no match for the Thunder! Soon, there was another point of view.

Whether this view is right or not, it does cater to Kobe Bryant's fans and has been recognized by more people in a short period of time.

Kobe Bryant is certainly a huge loss for the Lakers, but different people still have different opinions on this.

But most people still agree with it.

"Why do you think that about a team that has just swept their opponent in the first round?" At this time, some people are also expressing their opinions: "Chen Yu is playing well, the Lakers are also playing well, they have found a way to win, but all the opinions we see now are as if the Lakers won the first round after a difficult tie-break!" ”

This also attracted the echo of Chen Yu's fans, speaking of which, these people are almost all putting the Lakers on the weak side now, as if the Thunder can make the Lakers have no possibility as long as they play easily.

The two sides are also arguing online, but it all has to be resolved in the end.

Because the Lakers still won one more game than the Thunder in the end, the first game was played at the Staples Center, the home of the Lakers.

This game still attracted countless attention, and the tickets for the Staples Center had already sold out.

The most profitable team in the NBA is basically the Knicks, but the Lakers are also particularly profitable, basically around the second place in the list of the most profitable teams, and the Lakers have a lot of viewers, after all, they are in such an international metropolis.

If it weren't for the Lakers' easy money in Los Angeles, the Clippers wouldn't have taken so many risks to secretly move the team to Los Angeles.

This high-profile game has really begun!

The Lakers and the Thunder still played each other a few times in the regular season, but they won less and lost more.

Now, all parties are also singing about the Lakers, which also makes everyone pay more attention to this game.

At the beginning of the game, the Thunder side still had the same style of play, and their defense of Chen Yu also adopted the Warriors' defensive method against the Lakers in the last game, that is, to let Westbrook defend Chen Yu, but everyone else was trying their best to cut off Chen Yu's passing route, just to force him to be in endless singles from the first ball to the last ball.

The Thunder's style of play has also been demonstrated by the Warriors.

However, the Thunder's destruction of Chen Yu's pass was not as complete as the Warriors' team, they still left Chen Yu with a lot of gaps, and Gasol also played well in this game, and the interior line was also a mid-range shot and layup.

However, Chen Yu's hand feeling today is not the best, although his shooting percentage is still very scary compared to other players, but if you compare his own shooting rate horizontally, Chen Yu's hand feeling today is really average.

But compared to Chen Yu, Durant's hand is quite good, he scored 30 points in three quarters, and in the fourth quarter, Durant's physical strength declined, but he still maintained a high offensive level.

With 1:13 left in the game, the score was 95-90 and the Lakers trailed by five points.

Durant went to the frontcourt, received a pass from Westbrook, and after blocking and changing defenses, he became Chen Yu defending Durant.

If this ball can be defended, the Lakers still have hope, because Chen Yu's three-point shot, as long as he successfully defends and throws one in, the difference is only 2 points, everything is possible!

But if Durant scores, the difference will be at least 7 points, and the Lakers may be powerless at that time.

Durant hit Chen Yu with his back, Chen Yu felt that his strength was particularly strong, but he resisted him to the death, and when the two got to the basket, Durant suddenly turned over and jumped!

This jump shot came too quickly, and Chen Yu was still too short after all, so he could only watch the ball leave Durant's hands.

When Chen Yu looked back, he saw the net flowers fluttering.

97-90！

The Lakers can say that the general trend is gone!

Then, the next ball Chen Yu scored a layup, but the clock was only 43 seconds left, and then Durant caused a foul deep inside, and the game was basically out of suspense.

The final score ended 101-95, and the Lakers lost Game 1 of the second round at home.
