Chapter 587: The Warriors Disbanded on the Spot

At the end of the game, the Lakers finally defeated the Warriors on the road 114-107, knocking out the opponent 4-2, winning the Western Conference championship for the 32nd time in history, and will also attack their 17th championship trophy in history, if they can win the championship this year, then their championship number will equal their old rival Celtics.

This game is actually expected for the Lakers, since the last game completed the reversal, the Lakers' self-confidence has come up, today's game they are also full of energy, hoping to be able to end the game on the road, they have been ready to meet the Warriors for 48 minutes, but what they didn't expect is that the Warriors have no such indomitable momentum as last year, and some are just looking ahead and distrusting each other. So this game the Lakers played unexpectedly easy.

The end of this game also means that the entire series of the Western Conference Finals is over, although the players of the double release are-for-tat on the court, they still hug each other after the game is over, and wish each other to express goodwill, especially Ye Xuan, when he hugged Curry and Klay Thompson, he still kept comforting the opponent and telling them to train together in the summer. However, when Ye Xuan greeted Draymond Green and Durant, he seemed much colder, simply hugged him, and then shook hands and separated directly, which was clearly to tell Durant and Green 'I look down on you two'.

This is not Ye Xuan alone, followed by Wade Gasol and others have such an attitude, as for the reason, it is also very simple, the players naturally know who is doing their best in the game, and who is playing soy sauce in the game for various reasons, so Curry and Klay Thompson can be respected after losing, and the game is not very popular with Durant for various reasons, and it can even be said that Durant who is in the pot is not very welcome. Green, on the other hand, has always been at odds with the Lakers players, so it's normal for everyone not to care about him.

Regardless, the Western Conference Finals are over, and the Lakers have finally qualified for the Finals, where they will play the first game of the Finals against the Cavaliers at Staples Arena four days later, and now all the Lakers need to do is celebrate their long-lost Western Conference Championship trophy.

The Lakers defeated the Warriors, who were extremely optimistic about everyone at the beginning of the season, so that the Warriors, the first team formed by two regular season MVPs of the year, and also had two All-Star level helpers, fell in the Western Conference Finals, and after the game, various experts also began to analyze the next move of the Warriors, first of all, it is natural to talk about Durant, Durant is now very uncomfortable, after the Warriors were eliminated by the Lakers, a large number of Thunder fans sent congratulatory messages, A large part of them were Durant's fans at the beginning, but Durant's move to defect to the enemy undoubtedly broke their hearts, and also made them suddenly turn from Durant's fans into Durant's black fans.

Durant can now be said to be embattled, the former Thunder fans naturally don't need to say much, Durant once again fell in the Western Conference The happiest should be the Thunder fans, and in addition to the Thunder fans attacking Durant, the Warriors fans have also begun to defect, at the beginning, the Warriors fans still welcomed Durant very much, after all, Durant's joining directly raised the combat effectiveness of their small forward position by two notches, Although this has led to a decline in bench strength, the role of star players is also vividly displayed in the regular season, so Durant is still very popular among Warriors fans.

But after coming to the playoffs, the doubts about Durant are getting louder and louder, first of all, questioning Durant's excessive ball possession, although you are a four-time scoring champion, although you are the regular season MVP, but the Warriors are still Curry's team, you have so many more shots than the boss of your own family, is this considered a dove occupying the magpie's nest? And if the team wins, that's fine, but since the first round of the playoffs, they haven't played a perfect series of 4:0, facing the old club Thunder, the Warriors won the final victory, but also lost the third game, which can be said to be a turning point in the relationship between the Warriors.

In that game, all the Warriors were playing iron, only Curry's hand was relatively good, but because he was a little annoyed by Wei Shao's defense, he mostly played without the ball when attacking. But it is precisely because of his off-ball style of play that Durant has given Durant a lot of opportunities to hold the ball, and I don't know if the schoolbag Du wants to show off his power in front of his old club or what, Durant who obviously has a bad hand in that game actually forcibly chose all kinds of singles, and as a result, only 9 of 28 shots hit the Warriors very injured, and as Durant's original brother Wei Shao scored 50 points in the whole game, which directly made the sweep shouted by the Warriors before the game become empty words.

After this game, Durant had a quarrel with Curry in the locker room, and Green and others naturally all sided on Curry's side, although the relationship between them on the surface is still very good, but in fact it may have been separated, but victory can always cover up these things well, everyone is a professional basketball player, and will not make strange decisions in the game because of personal subjective likes and dislikes, And after winning two games in a row and winning the Thunder, the impact of this incident was also well concealed.

Next is the second round of their Western Conference game, in the whole series, in fact, the Warriors' ball distribution problem has been solved quite well, especially in the fourth game, the opponent chose to defend Durant, and the result was Curry and Klay Thompson combined to shoot 13 three-pointers, directly turned the game into a three-point battle, and the Warriors won that game.

But after coming to the game with the Lakers, some contradictions between them were stimulated again, first of all, when the two players clashed in the game, Durant's performance made Green feel that he did not treat the Warriors as a collective, and he as the team's best player did not stand up for his teammates, but put on an attitude of not caring about himself, which made Green loudly accuse Durant again in the locker room after the game, and Durant is not made of mud, After being scolded by Green many times, he couldn't stand it anymore, so the two got into an argument in the locker room, although with the mediation of their teammates, the two quickly reconciled and soon found the rhythm of the game again in Game 4.

But once there is a crack, then no matter what method you use, it is difficult to completely repair the crack, only a slight external force from the outside world is enough to completely disrupt this seemingly calm team, and this external force is the last minute of the fifth game. In the last minute, the Warriors' performance was not very good, especially before Durant's missed ball and Green's mistakes, so that the two began to have some signs of blaming each other, but fortunately, they were still ahead, and it was very likely to win this game, so the two still seemed to be fine.

But in the end, none of them thought that the Lakers actually completed a shocking reversal, and the Warriors were also caught in various infighting after the game, Green's mother jumped out to blame Durant The incident broke out, which brought the relationship between the two to a freezing point, which is also the main reason why the Warriors played this game, and because of the loss in the last game, coupled with the accusations of teammates, Durant was a little afraid to carry the offensive banner in this game. Durant also played his worst game of the series in this game, and his shooting percentage in this game was actually not too bad, shooting 6 of 13, shooting more than 40%, but only 13 shots was the lowest number of shots in the series.

And the fundamental reason is because of self-confidence, after being questioned by his teammates and others, he was a little afraid to shoot in the time he was on the court with Curry, as long as it was not an absolute opportunity, he was the first choice of passing, and the result is naturally self-evident, without Durant's heavy firepower suppression, the Lakers are full of firepower on the offensive end today, Ye Xuan has not even fully exerted his strength today, after all, the CD of physical recovery potions and strengthening potions has been turned around, if the opponent plays well in this game, Ye Xuan was also able to deal with these two elixirs.

Durant's contract was signed with a 1+1 short-term contract when he came to the Warriors, in fact, Durant's idea was very simple at that time, I was going to win a championship this year, and if I was happy with the Warriors after the championship, then I would continue to renew the short-term contract with the Warriors, or win the championship in the Warriors, but if I was not very happy, then I would jump out of the contract directly, and then choose a team that could give me a big contract to play, and then the championship would be in hand, I can also pursue my basketball dream with a big contract.

But he never thought that after he joined a team that was originally a championship, he didn't even enter the Finals, and not only the Thunder fans who betrayed him began to mock him wildly, but even the Warriors fans he is playing for now blamed the reason for the loss on their own heads, saying that Durant destroyed the team's internal harmony and reduced the team's offensive and defensive conversion efficiency, while saying that Durant occupied too much of the ball. led to a significant decrease in the number of shots made by his star Curry and others, and even some fans directly took out Green's mother's words and reprocessed them, in short, Durant was processed into a cancer player.

And this year's transfer and loss, not only made him lose a large number of American fans, but also many fans in China have defected, after all, Durant's approach is tantamount to the most contemptible for the Chinese people, and there are even some domestic jokers who use a very vivid sentence to describe Durant - "Taijun, there is Russia in front." From the traditional point of view of the Chinese people, he is indeed suitable for traitors to do no different.

And Durant is also beginning to think about his own stay at this time, is he cheeky and forced to stay with the Warriors, hoping that the team can find form next season and then win the championship? Or jump out of the contract and wait for the opportunity to see what trades can happen to these teams in the summer, and then either find a strong team to reduce the salary to join, or find a team with enough salary space to get the top salary as the boss, and after the incident of being angry by the Warriors fans, the Warriors team actually decided not to mention Durant-related things, which made Durant also feel that his days with the Warriors were over, so he didn't wait for the Finals to start. Before the Warriors executives came to talk to him or anything like that, he unilaterally announced through his agent that he would jump out of his contract and would listen to offers from all teams in the offseason.

After the news came out, almost 70% of the teams in the league began to move, and everyone is still very recognized for Durant's personal ability, if he can be recruited, coupled with some operation of the team, there is every chance to rise to become a playoff powerhouse in an instant, and even become a strong contender for the championship.

Even the Magic was a little moved after knowing the news, but he also knew that the core of the team must still be Ye Xuan, and they didn't need to make any changes now, although Wade and Gasol are both veterans, and their competitive state will only be worse year after year, but if Durant is forcibly signed and the team's chemistry is destroyed, then the gains outweigh the losses, so the Magic also asked Ye Xuan's opinion as soon as possible, Ye Xuan's first reaction was to refuse, there was no other reason, Durant's approach to throwing himself into the enemy, coupled with his somewhat doggy personality, made Ye Xuan feel very unhappy, and now his team has only defeated them, if he joins his own team in the second year, then neither the outside public opinion nor his teammates should feel happy, so Ye Xuan also tactfully told the magic his thoughts, Johnson also nodded, and he also had a plan in his heart.
