Chapter Two Hundred and Seven, The Beginning of Madness.
The crowd at the Ford Center came to support the team with a sad heart today.
Even the most die-hard fans are not confident that the Thunder can come back from 3-0 down, and they only hope that the home team can win even one game.
Win a face-saving game here.
After entering the Finals, the Thunder team did not win a game, which is really a pity.
The explosion of Durant's and Westbrook's supergiant moments almost helped the team win in G2 and G3, which made them full of hope for the future.
They almost won, but they still lost in the end, and the team fell into a desperate situation.
OKC fans still miss someone in this desperate situation.
That's Li Forest.
Two seasons on.
It seems that as long as that Thunder 8 exists, the Thunder team is full of infinite possibilities.
Li Forest can be regarded as a supergiant born and raised by Thunder himself.
Many Russian City fans have watched him grow step by step.
Li Forest went from a "temporary worker" at the beginning to a rotation player, from a rotation player to the best sixth man, from the best sixth man to one of the starting three less, and then from one of the three young to the absolute boss of the Thunder, and his growth experience made fans feel very inspiring.
The results of the Thunder have gone from grabbing the champion last year to competing for the championship this year.
OKC fans accompany Li Forest and grow up with Sanshao.
If the Thunder are all the main forces, no one will feel wronged by being beaten 0-3 by the Celtics, they are still young.
However, the absolute boss of OKC missed the finals due to injury and lost 3 games, which made many fans angry.
Aggrieved.
Depressed.
It's not the game they're losing, they're depressed.
Lee Forest is here, and we are the champions.
Especially after the fans saw the championship trophy on the sidelines, the 0-3 series score pressed on the hearts of every fan who supported the home team.
It's sad to watch other teams win the trophy on your own turf.
"It would be nice if Lee was there! He would never allow Boston to be so arrogant. ”
"I love Westbrook and Durant, but there's no denying that this team feels like something is missing without Lee."
"We need Lee!!"
Fans chatted around at the Ford Center, and soon the voices of the 20,000 people in the stadium were unified.
"Lee!!"
"Lee!!"
"Lee!!"
"Lee!!"
....
During the appearance ceremony, when the DJ shouted Durant's name, the Ford Center resounded with the sound of fans chanting Forest's name from the fans.
On the field, Westbrook has his eyes closed and his hands on his chest!
The Divine Turtle's mind kept thinking about what Li Forest had told him a few days ago.
"Russell, win one game, just need to win one, my injury is getting better quickly, I'll be back in the fifth game!!"
After falling behind 0-3 for 4 games in a row, the turtle did not have too much confidence, but Li Linlin's words gave him hope.
Before the game, Brooks gritted his teeth and told everyone that he must win G4, and his expression was also noticed by the Turtle, who guessed that Li Forest might really make a comeback.
In order to avoid another leak, the specific progress of Li Linlin's injury is known to only four people.
Team Doctors Cook, Brooks, Plesty, Lin Xiaolu.
When Cook told Brooks and Plesty that Lee's injury wasn't as bad as he thought, Brooks was forced to 3-0 and won a chance to get better.
If the ideal is restored, Li Forest G5 will be able to play.
So this G4 of the Thunder, Brooks knows what he has to do.
Although the Thunder's players are surprised, why the head coach never gave up after falling behind 0-3, he has been telling everyone that there is still hope and can turn the game around.
You know, even if the average head coach says that there is hope, insisting on anything is just a superficial politeness.
But Brooks shows that intense confidence, which is completely different from the feeling of being polite.
And then add Westbrook, Durant, and Harden to drive that kind of desire.
A variety of emotions have also spread to the rest of the Thunder's players.
The thunder in the hearts of role players is a mourning army.
Just to save face.
.............
The sound of the Ford Center shouting Lee's name in unison reached the ears of everyone in front of the television.
The 20,000 people at the scene shouted a person's name in unison, which was shocking enough.
And then with the commentary from all over the place, the lyrical exclamation, the pathos of memory.
Plus keep replaying clips of Lee Forest's injuries.
With Westbrook with his hands on his chest, a shot of praying.
All the fans who watched the game were very moved, and the female fans were even more sad and wept.
The Thunder are really a sad team.
Li Forest is a tragic hero.
Seeing this touching picture, only one person is jumping on his feet.
That is Li Forest watching TV.
Li Linlin thought they were paying tribute to themselves, and said through gritted teeth.
"! Didn't I just get out of the way, and it seems like I'm hanging up a bit. ”
"Don't be angry, Oba, they're thinking about you."
Lin Xiaolu covered his mouth and snickered at Li Linlin's angry appearance.
"That's a bit of a pompous exaggeration."
"Hee-hee, Oba, I'm also very touched when I look at it."
Lin Xiaolu said very well-behaved.
In the past, when Li Forest watched other stars on TV injured or retired, the commentator was sensational, and he would feel very moved.
But today's sensational protagonist is himself, and it feels weird.
This scene on TV also shocked Lin Xiaolu's heart very much.
It turns out that Li Linlin is not just her dependent, many fans are accustomed to him as a pillar of faith.
"Alright, Oba, stop walking around, if you don't get better, I won't let you play."
Although he knew that it was important for Li Forest to come back to play in the finals, Lin Xiaolu would not let Li Forest go up to fight with an injury.
"I see."
Li Forest sat down on the sofa again, and honestly hugged the girl to watch the ball game.
The expression on his face was solemn.
Westbrook and Harden have just been upgraded, and their strength and condition will improve a little, but it is by no means a leap upgrade.
At this stage, it is impossible for their skills to skyrocket all of a sudden, and the sudden upgrade is just the result of years of training and competition.
In terms of talent, the Thunder are far ahead of the aging Celtics.
But the outcome of a match is never decided by talent alone.
If it were only compared to talent, Thunder would not have fallen into this situation.
.........
In the first three games, the Thunder doubled and played at a super level, and the power of Wang Bang began to appear.
But they also need their team-mates to play better.
Harden needs to help the team keep up the firepower when the second team rotates.
The Wallace-led Celtics' second team often pulls away or catches up with the Thunder's rotation when they come on, and their Big Four play well.
Thunder's firepower endurance is a big problem.
Soon, the pivotal G4 race begins.
Westbrook opened the scoring with a 3-pointer.
Ibaka also relied on back-to-back offensive rebounds to score on hooks, and Wallace scored four points in a row.
The Celtics are down 4-5.
After Durant's buggy mid-range hit gave the Thunder a 7-6 lead, Rondo made two layups to put the Celtics up by three points.
Subsequently, both teams did not have a high shooting percentage, frequently hit irons, and the tempo was slow.
With 3:25 left in the first quarter, the Celtics led 15-11.
After Westbrook made one of two free throws to make it 14-17, the Thunder missed consecutive offensive misses, and Ibaka was replaced with two fouls.

Durant forced a 3-pointer from the bottom corner and missed, and Collison missed the layup.
Ray Allen also missed a 3-pointer to end the first quarter.
The Celtics lead by nine points.
The Thunder woke up in the second quarter as they scored five straight points to tie the score at 19-23 before the Celtics called a timeout.
After the Green Shirts took a timeout, the offense continued to miss, and Durant, who couldn't find a touch on the outside, scored under the basket in a row.
......
At 3:55 before half-time, the two teams were tied at 29.
Ray Allen and Pierce hit all four free throws, Durant hit a jumper, and Pierce answered with a 3-pointer as the Celtics scored five straight points to take a 38-31 lead.
Westbrook forced a basket and caused Pierce to foul, and the two tangled up and got into a verbal altercation, but they were pulled away in time to avoid escalating the conflict.
However, the two men each received a technical foul.
.....
The Celtics led 40-34 at halftime.
For the Celtics, Pierce had 11 points and six rebounds in the first half, Rondo had six points, four rebounds and four assists, Davis had six points and five rebounds, Garnett had six points and two rebounds, Wallace had six points and four rebounds and Ray Allen had five points.
The Thunder's Durant had 12 points and three rebounds, Westbrook had eight points and seven rebounds on 3-of-10 shooting, but he shot 0-of-4 from three-pointers and Ibaka had six points and six rebounds on 3-of-12 shooting.
Garnett scored five points in a row at the start of the third quarter, Rondo also hit a jumper, and Durant hit back-to-back irons.
The Celtics relied on a 7-2 attack wave to take an 11-point lead at 47-36, and Brooks had to call a timeout.
Durant still couldn't find his touch after a timeout, and Ray Allen scored a three-pointer to stretch the gap to 14 points.
..............
Seeing the Thunder trail by 14 points in the third quarter.
Lin Xiaolu could feel that Li Linlin was holding her hand unusually nervous, and even sweated a little.
"Oba, I'll pour you a glass of juice!"
"Hmm."
The well-behaved Lin Xiaolu stood up and went to the refrigerator to pour juice to help Li Forest relieve his tension.
The game is still going on.
Pierce took a break because of shoulder discomfort.
Durant and Westbrook combined for six points, and Garnett singled out Collison to score.
The Celtics led by 10 points, 51-41.
Harden scored back-to-back breakaways, and the Thunder closed the gap to six points.
Rivers quickly called a timeout.
Pierce scored a 3-pointer after a timeout, and the Thunder went on another 6-2 run to close the gap to just five points.
......
The Thunder trailed by four points at 63-67 after the first three quarters.
Durant opened the curtain on the Thunder's counterattack in the final quarter with a jumper, and the Thunder closed the gap to two points.
Westbrook and Harden began to work together.
The two kept scoring points inside, either making fouls or making layups.
Durant also started to perform against the sky.
With 3:22 left before the break, the Thunder took a four-point lead at 78-74.
The Celtics couldn't find their crosshairs after a timeout, with six of their eight shots missed.
With 25 seconds left in the game, the Thunder led 86-80.
The Celtics resorted to foul play.
Durant hit both free throws to give the Thunder an 88-80 lead with 11.7 seconds left in the game.
Rondo missed a 3-pointer in the bottom left corner after a timeout, and Ibaka grabbed the rebound.
Since then, the game has ended.
The Thunder come back to win!
The overall score of the series between the two teams came to 1-3.
Looking at the final score, the championship trophy was pushed into the locker room again.
Li Forest smiled.
Wei Shao, Du Shao, Harden, these three did not disappoint him after all.
At the same time, it helps the team to fight back in a desperate situation.
After taking G4,
Li Forest has the confidence to turn the tables series.
Because.
Li Forest himself is about to upgrade.
