Chapter 151, West Decision, Thunder is coming!!
Although Bryant was injured, Lee Forest believes the Lakers will not fall here.
The Lakers' overall strength this year is significantly higher than that of the Jazz.
Not to mention that they also have home field advantage.
Li Forest is not worried about the situation of the Lakers, he just wants the Thunder to take the Mavericks immediately.
On the afternoon of May 12.
When the Thunder Three Teenagers walked out of the hotel in Dallas, they were about to board the bus to go to the American Airlines Arena.
Dallas local reporters blocked the entrance to the hotel.
They were agitated, and reporters kept surrounding the Thunder players at the door of the hotel, and then threw sharp questions at them.
"KD, will Lee's strong performance in the playoffs affect your status as the team's boss?"
"KD, will you renew your contract with the Thunder this summer?"
"Russell, you've had a couple of games where you almost got a triple-double, is it because Lee didn't help you with the assists?"
"Lee, LeBron said that he wants to join forces with you in the summer, do you have any intentions too?"
"Li, Knicks sincerely apologize to you and want you to assist Emperor Zhan, are you willing to consider going to New York?"
Dallas reporters are desperate to put pressure on the Thunder on their turf,
Because tonight they had no way back, the Dallas were nervous.
The anxious expressions of the reporters made Sanshao very happy.
The three of them have already discussed it, but they have nothing to say.
They just want to warm up at the American Airlines Arena and then wrap up the damn series tonight.
The reporters' sharp questions did not make the three young angry, but made the three more confident.
Fight to the West.
That's the goal of all Thunder players right now.
The 3-1 score made the Thunder full of confidence.
After the loss to Ohlahoma on the Mavericks' side, they will have to face a grim 3-1 deficit.
Nowitzki and Kidd Sr. are well aware that the Mavericks are really in a desperate situation this time.
The spirit of the Thunder's three consecutive wins is really terrifying.
As long as they lose again tonight, the Mavericks will end the season with no chance of a comeback.
Facing the pressure of elimination, it almost broke the hearts of the Mavericks' role players.
At this time, the Mavericks only have a few core veterans, and they still have the confidence to turn around.
……
On the way to the American Airlines arena.
The Dallas sun was warm from the windows of the bus.
Li Shulin sensed the approaching summer from the temperature of the sun.
This summer.
It's destined to be a crazy summer.
Then everything will come to an end.
When all the Thunder members stepped in and out of the bus,
The fans who surrounded the entrance to the American Airlines arena in Dallas began to riot.
There was a huge crowd of home fans outside the arena today.
Fans want to help the home team interfere with the psychology of the Thunder players and affect their form.
Pre-match media interview area.
Li Linlin confidently said to the thirty or forty reporters around him: "Tonight, everything will come to an end. ”
Westbrook: "See you in the Western Conference Finals!" ”
Durant: "Goodbye, Dallas. ”
Although the role players except for the three players have a bad mental face and the back-to-back playoff games have left everyone mentally tired, they are not worried that the team will lose.
Because everything has the existence of the three of them.
................
20 minutes before the game.
Away team locker room.
Brooks was making the final mobilization before the war for World War 5.
"Guys, the pressure is all on the Dallas' side right now, but our series isn't over yet, concentrate, don't be careless, and finish them out in one go!!"
“OKC!!!! Win! ”
Brooks is now confident in his team and believes the team will be able to wrap up the series tonight!
The opponents in the playoffs were not as strong as he thought.
This is the first time Brooks has led the team to the playoffs, almost winning from a layback, and under the leadership of Sanshao, the Thunder have hardly encountered any difficulties.
This time.
Brooks really understood why Carlisle, Popovich, Gentry and others, who felt that they were the coaches of a strong team, looked at him with envy.
They envy the Thunder's talent.
The average age of the three superstars the Thunder played this year is only 22 years old.
This kind of lineup, which coach is placed under it, does not have to be happy.
Only a playoff rookie coach like Brooks would think that these people are just a little more powerful and haven't reached the supergiant level.
It is typical to be in the blessing and do not know the blessing....
In the home team's locker room, the atmosphere of the Mavericks is a lot heavier in comparison.
The team is down 3-1, and this pressure is constantly reminding the players that if they lose one more game, then the team will have to fish.
Carlisle's pre-match efforts to mobilize were not as effective as the situation continued to deteriorate.
Nowitzki and Kidd Sr. both took the initiative to speak up to boost morale, and the players finally cheered up.
Everyone on the Mavericks could be defeated, but No, Kidd, and Terry won't throw in the towel.
Nowitzki has the option to jump out of his contract this season, but the king won't leave Dallas, and he's going to prove himself here and prove that he's a championship-caliber superstar.
...........
After the start of the game.
Cuban led the fans in their constant cheering for the home team.
The cornered Mavericks also fought back, and the defensive enthusiasm was high.
At the beginning of the first quarter, both teams did not score high as both sides tried to defend.
Harden, who came off the bench, put in a standout performance, using the three minutes at the end of the quarter to score a game-high eight points.
In the last two seconds of the first quarter, Harden hit a three-pointer from distance to help the Thunder take a 20-17 lead.
In the second quarter, Marion hit the first jumper to open the Mavericks' counterattack.
Haywood then made a layup and Nowitzki scored on a layup, but the Mavericks' offensive performance didn't end there, as Nowitzki hit back-to-back jumpers in the first quarter.
Marion had a great hand and scored easily under the basket, Barria hit a three-pointer from distance, and the Mavericks' attack wave quickly expanded to 26-8.
The Thunder's offensive momentum was completely blocked, Westbrook made frequent mistakes, Durant's breakthrough was blocked, and the difference between the two sides quickly widened to 15 points.
Li Forest also continued the momentum of the last game, and his first seven shots were all missed, and he missed even two free throws.
In the last 13.7 seconds of the first half, Harden hit another long-range three-pointer to help the Thunder chase the score to 37-48.
After the start of the second half, the Thunder Big Three began to wake up, and first Li Forest returned to the court to hit consecutive singles.
Later, Du Shaowei opened one after another.
The situation between the two sides on the pitch gradually showed a stalemate.
Midway through the quarter, the Thunder suddenly came on and went on an 8-1 run to send the Mavericks into a timeout.
At this time, the Thunder only trailed by three points at 63-66.
After the timeout, the Thunder took advantage of the Mavericks' mistake again and scored 4 points in a row to overtake the score.
For the remainder of the third quarter, role players and others also opened up to suppress Nowitzki's comeback.
The three scored 30 points in the third quarter, helping the Thunder lead by three points into the fourth quarter.
In the final quarter, the Mavericks continued their pursuit momentum.
Butler and Terry combined for a three-pointer to put the Mavericks on the comeback.
But then, the Mavericks missed several shots again under the Thunder's tight defense, and the score was overtaken by the Thunder again.
Soon, the Thunder were sending a wave of 8-0.
After this small climax, the difference widened.
There were only about three minutes left in the game.
Although Nowitzki scored four points in a row to lead the Mavericks to fight back again, in the end, Forest-Lee's three-pointer sealed the victory for the Thunder.
99 to 94.
The moment the red light on the rebound comes on.
Li Forest felt a sense of relief.
Li Shulin closed his eyes and enjoyed the tranquility after the victory......
Western Decision.
Thunder is coming.
