At the press conference after the game, Westbrook, who scored 30 points but also scored 7 turnovers and made mistakes at key moments, undoubtedly became the target of the reporters' collective attack.

"How much defensive pressure does that put on you?"

"Why did you choose to shoot that three-pointer in the last minute? And the last offensive foul, did you deliberately knock him down? ”

"Do you think you're better than Yi after scoring 30 points? So what do you think of Yi's 0 error data? ”

In the media reception room, the voices of reporters asking questions were all chattering. Westbrook stared at the reporters, letting them ask questions, but didn't seem to mean to answer.

"Say something, shut them up!" Beside Westbrook, Durant covered the microphone with his hand and said softly.

"If they like to make trouble, let them make enough trouble!" Westbrook is a big player, but he's not a bad guy. You can't expect him to point at the reporters' noses and yell, and if that were the case, he should be called Gary. Peyton.

"That's it! Losing is not Russell's responsibility alone! There is no point in discussing this further. We should now look forward and try to get the situation back in the next game, that's all! Suddenly, Durant's yelling made the scene immediately fall silent.

The reporters below, including Westbrook, who was sitting next to Durant, opened their mouths wide in surprise. Mr. Durant, who has never talked much, actually got angry at the press conference just now?

Although Durant got a double-double of 24 points and 12 rebounds today, he was actually not in good shape. With 24 points, Durant paid the price of 22 shots, hitting only 7 shots, a shooting rate of only 31%, and only 1 of 8 three-pointers.

Like he said, the loss wasn't Westbrook's fault alone. It's true that Westbrook's impulsiveness has led him to make some bad decisions, but Durant hasn't just done it perfectly. and Harden, who scored only 4 points on 2-of-9 shooting, who would blame him?

The reporters grabbed Westbrook and didn't let go, but it just happened to be because this guy was the most opposed to Yiyang.

Russell's shooting percentage was the third highest of any Thunder team today, and his 30 points were also the highest in the game! You say 7 turnovers, Dirk. Nowitzki also made 7 mistakes today, so why don't you ask him how he feels!? Seeing that the crowd was suppressed by himself, Durant continued to speak.

"Don't blame Russell, he's done good enough! Let's go, man, it's over interview time! After Durant finished speaking, he stood up directly and took a step to leave the media reception room.

Westbrook was dumbfounded, he just mechanically followed Durant out. As the two stepped out of the door of the media reception room, they heard the chatter of reporters and the sound of shutters coming from the room behind them. It seems that the brothers have completely annoyed the reporters. Who cares, though?

"Looks like we're going to make headlines tomorrow." On the way back to the locker room, Durant turned his head and smiled at Westbrook.

"Thank you, Kevin." Westbrook hung his head, as if he didn't dare to make eye contact with Durant.

"Huh?"

"Thank you."

The shy big boy was a little embarrassed, and he scratched his head as he walked ahead. "Everybody...... It's all for the good of the team. ”

※※※

Early the next morning, as expected, the Thunder Three Young made the front page headlines of major sports newspapers and websites. But what is unusual is that the trio made the headlines not because of how good their performance was, but because their performance was ridiculously bad.

Durant scored 24 points on 22 shots and shot 31 percent from the field. Marion scored 18 points on 13 shots and shot 69 percent from the field. Marion's annual salary this year is only $7.31 million, and Durant will definitely get an offer with a maximum salary after his rookie contract ends this summer. If you want me to say, it's better to leave this top salary to Marion. ”

"Shooting 2-of-9, Harden was a player who had high hopes from Oklahoma fans, and his performance yesterday could only be described as bad. In the face of Yi's defense, he is like a middle school student who has just learned to play basketball, and every time Yi's offense seems to be telling Harden: Look well, basketball should be played like this! ”

"30 points, the highest score in the game yesterday. If you just look at this statistic, you must think that Westbrook has completed another career masterpiece. Unfortunately, Westbrook's 30 points don't tell the whole story. Seven turnovers, five fouls, and the wrong decisions at critical moments. Westbrook tried to pull the team out of the abyss, but he never expected that he would become the culprit who pushed the team into the abyss. In contrast, Yi's performance is indeed better and more mature. He scored a team-high 24 points while also dished out 11 assists, and did so without even paying the price for a single turnover. This is a real point guard, not a 'superhero' like Westbrook who only sees the basket. ”

Around the world, with the exception of local media outlets in Oklahoma, almost all reporters are unanimously sneering at the Thunder Three. In addition to their own poor performance, Durant and Westbrook also offended many people at yesterday's press conference.

Although there are many subjective factors in the overwhelming bad reviews of the three young people, even the top basketball experts must now admit that the young Thunder is indeed a little powerless when facing the Mavericks.

Many Oklahoma City Thunder fans are still fantasizing that the Thunder will be able to pull one back in Game 4, after all, the Thunder have won games before. But in reality, after Carlisle's successful execution of tight defensive tactics in the last game, the Thunder's chances are already very slim.

On May 23, Game 4 of the series was still played at the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma.

'If you lose at home, you have to be angry and you have to protect your home stadium. That's what Westbrook said in a courtside interview before the game started.

One of the great things about young people is that they are motivated to play every new game. Although the last game was defeated, Westbrook and others are not afraid now, but eager to get back what they have lost.

The Thunder's way of venting their anger was to defend tightly, and in the last game they had a terrible defense from the outside, giving the Mavericks a lot of opportunities to shoot threes, and ended up in trouble early. With the lessons of the past, the Thunder strengthened their outside defense after opening today, creating a lot of trouble for the Mavericks.

Facts have proved that if the Thunder team wants to do one thing well, it can still be done. From the start, the energetic Thunder used an extremely pressing defense to force the Mavericks to make frequent turnovers. Even Yiyang, who has always been known for his low error rate, made a passing error two minutes after the opening minute.

The Thunder started the game on a perfect 10-2 run, with only Nowitzki hitting one shot in the first 2:30 of the opening period. The constant turnovers reduced the Mavericks' shots, and after four minutes of play, the gap between the two sides reached double digits, and the Mavericks trailed 8-18. It's not just the score worth mentioning, the Mavericks made 6 mistakes in the first quarter, which is simply a remake of the Thunder in the last game.

The Thunder played well, and the fans were shouting wildly. Who says we're going to be eliminated? Look at whom, in the end, who's suppressing whom!

But for the young Thunder, it's hard for them to keep the high-pressure defense going all the time. After opening up on the offensive end, the youngsters will always let their guard down from time to time on the defensive end.

Although the Mavericks are not as energetic as the Thunder, this group of old fritters knows how to seize opportunities. Taking advantage of the Thunder's defensive inattention, the Mavericks seized the opportunity, and Yiyang and Nowitzki hit three-pointers in quick succession shortly after the start of the quarter, and the Mavericks began to close the gap. With 3:25 left in the quarter, Yiyang assisted Nowitzki on a mid-range shot, and the Mavericks tied the score at 46-51. At one point, the gap between the two sides narrowed to five points. Fortunately, Durant bravely stepped inside to make a foul at the last moment, and made two free throws and two free throws to end the first half 59-54.

At halftime, although the Thunder still held the lead, the fans were not as happy as they had just been. It looks like the Mavericks can turn the score around with a little push.

The Mavericks' tenacity has proven more than once, and falling behind at halftime isn't what crushes them. After the start of the third quarter, Nowitzki, Terry and Peja made a shot from beyond the three-point line.

Yiyang is like a child who takes a lighter and lights the fuse at any time, wherever he goes, the "cannon" outside the three-point line will sound.

In the last two minutes of the game, the two sides were tied 98-98. The fans in the stands almost screamed out of their throats, and they all hoped that their voices could be transformed into the power of the Thunder.

However, the terrifying "German tank" ruthlessly dominated the game and killed the faint hope of the Thunder fans.

In the final two minutes, Nowitzki was unbeatable. Serge Ibaka defends with his face and he can shoot in. Ibaka defends at the top, and he can quickly turn around and break through to complete the dunk.

Nowitzki's score skyrocketed in the final two minutes, and in the final shot, he threw the ball in the face of Durant and Ibaka. In Barkley's words, Nowitzki in the last two minutes has only one word to describe - no solution!

Basketball is like a remote control system, and the Germans are able to shoot the ball in any situation.

Under Nowitzki's leadership, the Mavericks played another comeback. 112-105, the Oklahoma City Thunder lost their second away game. In other words, the playoff aggregate score became 3-1, the Mavericks got the match point, and the next game will be played on the Mavericks' home court.

The young Thunder team is already more than lucky.

In fact, if you want to turn the game around after falling behind 3-1, there have been 8 times in BA's history.

But after being reversed by the Mavericks in the last game, the young Thunder's morale suffered. Today is still playing at the Center Arena of American Airlines, and they can't lift their spirits.

Nowitzki shot 51.6 percent from the field and 92.4 percent from the free-throw line in this year's playoffs, and only the 1986 "Big Birdie" Larry was able to do so. Bird. Nowitzki also shot 51.7 percent from three-point range, and his magical performance was the main reason for the Mavericks' success. And today, Nowitzki's magical form continues.

After the opening, Nowitzki's desire to attack was very strong, he has always been unpretentious and even had a fancy performance, with 7 minutes and 34 seconds left in the first quarter, Nowitzki hit a strong basket, and suddenly a beautiful turn wiped over Ibaka, and scored with both hands, the Mavericks started the game 12-4, and Nowitzki had already scored 6 points at this time. Yiyang also entered the state early today, combined with the sudden throw, and scored another 6 points. And Westbrook seems to have lost his fighting spirit in front of Yiyang.

The start was not good, which was undoubtedly a fatal blow to the already demoralized Thunder. Subsequently, the three-point shots of the two guards of Barria and Terry smashed the Thunder team to the head.

In the fourth quarter of the game, Carlisle sat comfortably on the bench. It was the first time since the start of the playoffs that Carlisle was able to sit quietly on the bench and direct a game.

When the panicked Harden made a three-point shot, he threw a "three-no-stick" post. Cuban jumped up from the audience with a thud, and as excited as he were, thousands of Mavericks fans in blue T-shirts.

In the final two minutes of the game, no sound could be heard in the arena of the American Airlines Center except for the shouts of the fans.

"The arena is about to be overturned, and Mavericks fans can't wait to hear the referee blow the final whistle!"

Inside the players' tunnel, NBA officials have prepared the trophy for the Western Conference champions. He was a little nervous, because at this time, the sound on the court had penetrated into everyone's body, making everyone tremble uncontrollably.

Durant hit a layup, but the gap was still six points. With 1.3 seconds left in the race, the dust was settled.

The Mavericks' bench players had already rushed into the court, and Yiyang took the baseline ball and threw it directly into the air.

Just as the basketball began to fall, an electronic beep sounded on behalf of the end of the game, the referee blew the whistle, and the game was over!

Cuban flipped straight out of the stands and stormed the field. And the other fans, whether they know each other or not, are hugging each other. Some laughed wildly, and some cried with joy. Some are so crazy that they can't do anything but scream.

"Congratulations to the Dallas Mavericks who defeated the young Oklahoma City Thunder 4-1 overall to claim the 2010-2011 NBA Western Conference Championship! The most important thing is that they are going to the finals, and they are going to compete for the O'Brien Cup! Barkley said, his heart pounding. He has never won a championship ring in his life, can Yiyang, who is only in his first year in the NBA, create a myth?

The players hugged each other, and in their ears, the fans kept shouting.

While this isn't the first time the Mavericks have reached the NBA Finals, they won't be able to count any more victories like this.

"Overall Champion! Overall Winner! Overall Winner! Overall Winner! ......" In the stands, the fans let out a neat shout. The dome of the Center Arena on American Airlines, it's time for a championship pennant to decorate it!

The sound grew louder and louder, rushing out of the Center Arena of the American Airlines, carried by the evening breeze blowing from the shores of White Rock Lake, over the rails behind the Center Arena of the American Airlines, and dispersing in all directions, spreading to every corner of Dallas.
