"I really didn't expect that the opponent would be the Lakers, not the Spurs. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Durant looked at the bench of the opposite Heat, his face was a little solemn, compared to the Thunder may prefer to meet the Spurs.

In the past two years, in the history of the two teams, the Thunder team is dominant, the two teams have met four times in the regular season this season, and the Thunder have won all four games, from this point of view, the Thunder have a psychological advantage. And in the 2012 playoffs Western Conference Finals, the Thunder also defeated the Spurs 4-2.

As for the Los Angeles Lakers, the league now knows that they are the toughest team to play against. The Lakers, who fell behind 0-3 and turned the tables, have completed a transformation, and the Lakers seem to have regained the confidence and resilience of the dynasty, which can be seen from the 4-0 sweep of the Trail Blazers. This Lakers team is like the Purple and Gold Dynasty back then, once they enter the playoffs, they will point to the championship, who will I choose!

However, the Thunder is not the soft persimmon of the Trail Blazers, and the two Dewey who are in full form this year are enough to compete with the Heat Big Three.

The Thunder have a 59-23 record in the regular season, second in the West behind the Spurs and second in the league. In comparison, the Pacers, who are first in the East, are 56-26, and the Heat, who are second in the East, are 54-28, which are not as good as the Thunder. In addition, the competition in the west has been very fierce in the past few years, so the record of the western team is obviously more golden.

Durant's state this year can be described as explosive, although Wei Shao has experienced injuries and has been off for half a season, but after his return, he has played more desperately, and Ibaka's data has improved more comprehensively than last season, even comparable to Bosh. The Thunder's Big Three have basically taken shape.

However, the Thunder's luck was a little bad, and in the last game against the Clippers, Ibaka was pulled by Paul, apparently sprained his knee, and then returned to the locker room with an unknown injury. However, Ibaka has always been an "iron man", and the Thunder are playing at home, even if he is injured, Ibaka will come on the court with an injury.

In the Thunder's starting lineup, Sofrosa is a relatively non-existent player, but statistically he may not be worthy of a starting position. But his flank defensive efficiency is definitely in the top five in the league. With the second young man on the floor, the Thunder team does not lack firepower, and it is indeed a better choice to have a defensive warrior on the floor.

And Perkins, the starting center of the Thunder, became a hole in the court when facing the Lakers.

Perkins is a very strong low-post defender, the Celtics won the championship, Perkins can be said to be indispensable, Perkins can resist any interior in the league back then, Howard in the Magic team, or Bynum, who has not been abolished, have suffered at the hands of Perkins.

Whether it's against the Grizzlies' Black and White Bears, or against the Rockets Howard, or against the Clippers' Jordan Griffin, Perkins can play a very good role, but against the Lakers who are playing and shooting, Perkins has almost no effect, because he can't run.

Perkins has gained a lot of weight in recent years, and for this type of player, gaining weight means running slower and not being able to jump. Now Perkins, the defense is not fast enough, the offense is not there, and the range of the defensive end has been reduced, except for being a meat shield, there is little effect. This kind of player is indeed very intimidating on the defensive end of the positional battle, but what is the use of a meat shield-type defender when it comes to running and shooting?

Perkins played just five minutes before being substituted and replaced by rookie Adams, who was much more athletic than Perkins.

Caron Butler and Fisher also played well in the first match between the two sides. Although Fisher was a defensive hole, his three-point shot was open, and he shot four of five three-pointers from the field, giving the Thunder a lot of firepower.

On the other hand, on the Lakers' side, the players' feel is relatively average, perhaps because they swept the Trail Blazers 4-0 before, and the rest was too long, and the players were a little out of shape.

Nick Young didn't bring his own nerve knife today, and he shot 1-of-9; Gasol also has a poor hand, and is miserably limited by Ibaka on the offensive end; Wesley Johnson, Meeks, Bazemore, Jordan Hill, Farmar and others also performed averagely.

In the first game, the Lakers lost 105-122. The two young people scored 60 points together, making Zhang Guan's 35 points into empty cuts.

However, in the second game, the Lakers' form finally recovered, and at least the players' hands became normal.

This game was very close, and the two sides actually spent overtime, and finally Zhang Guan took away the Thunder team with a stunner, making the total score 1-1.

Not having two wins at home is not good news for the Thunder, who will next head to Los Angeles, where the current Staples Arena is a devil's trip for the visitors, and even more so for the Thunder.

The Thunder eliminated the Clippers in their last game to advance, and the Clippers are also a Los Angeles team, so when the Thunder visited again, the fans in Los Angeles were even more bitter.

Back at home, the Lakers are clearly aiming for two wins and a match point in this series. The Thunder will not make the Lakers happy, and if the Lakers win two in a row, the overall score will become 3-1, and there are only eight times in history that the 3-1 situation has been overturned.

However, Staples Arena has become one of the most difficult home games in the league to capture, and the Lakers have accumulated a heritage over the years that no other team can match, let alone a Lakers team with championship hopes.

In the third game of the series, held in Los Angeles, the Thunder's players played a little inaccurately, and although the statistics of the second few were still good, the shooting percentage was lower than usual, and there were more turnovers than usual. In this game, the Thunder went off the court after the third quarter of the game, and the Thunder played the fourth quarter with an all-bench lineup, and Reggie Jackson got the highest score in the Thunder team.

The final score was a 112-81 victory over the Thunder by the Lakers, a difference of more than 30 points, which is relatively rare in the playoffs, especially in the Western Conference finals.

In this game, the Thunder team lost relatively badly, but they were also accumulating strength for the fourth game, and the Thunder two young people left the court early, also in order to better adjust themselves so that they could counterattack in the next game.

Sure enough, in the fourth game between the two sides, the Thunder and the two Shao both played god-level performances, both of them played more than 45 minutes, and the shooting rate remained above 50%, and finally Wei Shao got a big double-double of 40 points and 10 assists, Durant 39 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists, and the Thunder won 115-109 with difficulty on the road.

In the first four games, the Thunder and Lakers played to a 2-2 draw, and the next game is the crucial battle of Tianwang Mountain, and the game will be held on the home court of the Thunder.

……

"Durant, three-pointer, alas, didn't shoot."

"Westbrook, layup, almost scored!"

At Ford Center, Thunder fans were all anxious. In today's game, Durant and Wei Shao are not allowed! Durant shot 40 percent from the field, but only made one of six three-pointers; Wei Shao was even worse, and the hit rate was not even 35%.

This is the biggest problem with the duo team, two superstars together, two people can basically win if they play normally, one of them can win if they play well, let alone both of them play well. But if neither of them is allowed to do so, they will definitely lose.

There was a time when most NBA teams were built with a dual-core mentality, and it was not uncommon for two superstars to win championships. However, the shortcomings of the dual-core are also obvious, so the Big Three model appeared later, where three star players are piled together, and even if two people don't feel good, there is a third person who can provide a guarantee of firepower.

The Thunder can be said to be the most powerful combination of offensive firepower in the league, and many times the Heat Big Three may not have as many points as the Thunder and the Thunder, and the Thunder team also relies on the scoring ability of the two less, and other players only need to do a good job of defense. And today the two young hands felt cold at the same time, and the Thunder team instantly lost the main source of scoring, although the defense was still very strong, but it was not scored, and the score naturally fell behind slowly.

In this game, Ershao's data is still very good, Durant has a big double-double of 31 points and 15 rebounds, and Wei Shao has 34 points, 8 assists and 7 rebounds, but the cumulative number of shots by these two is close to 70, and the entire Thunder team has only 85 shots in total. The second young occupies a lot of the ball, but the hitting rate is not high, which is equivalent to wasting a lot of shooting opportunities.

The final score was 107, and the Thunder lost the game at home, and the Lakers got a match point as a result.

……

Game 6 of the Lakers vs. Thunder at Staples Park, Los Angeles, May 31.

With five minutes left in the game, Durant looked at the score, but there was a look of despair in his eyes.

The score is now 111-93, and the Lakers are already trailing by 18 points, and it is the Lakers who have the ball.

The ball passed to Gasol, who took advantage of a hook layup to score the ball, and the score became 113-93, and the difference was widened to 20 points.

With the final five minutes left before the end of the game, it is impossible for Durant to catch up with the 20-point gap in five minutes.

"Are you going to make the Western Conference Finals again?" Durant let out a long sigh, he had lost his fighting spirit a little.

Wei Shao next to him seems to be a little stubborn donkey who does not admit defeat, although he is 20 points behind, he is still working hard.

With a pick-and-roll cooperation, Zhang Guan faced Durant.

At this time, Durant already had some anger in his heart about losing, and a lot of trash talk erupted from his mouth.

Trash talk is also part of the NBA game, and in terms of trash talk level, Durant is also first-class, and Draymond Green, a big mouth like him, admits that Durant's trash talk is stronger than himself.

However, Zhang Guan didn't care, he smiled at Durant, and suddenly asked, "Kevin, are you interested in playing in Los Angeles?" ”

"What did you say?" Durant was stunned for a moment, he thought that Zhang Guan was going to spray trash talk back, but he didn't expect Zhang Guan to ask this question.

"Bryant's contract expires in 2016, and your contract is also until 2016, so what about Los Angeles when your contract ends? Los Angeles needs a new king to replace Kobe! Zhang Guan continued.

"Replace Kobe? The new king of Los Angeles! Durant was suddenly a little overwhelmed.

Los Angeles has an unbeatable appeal for players, and for some clubbers, Los Angeles is simply paradise; And for some big-name stars, Los Angeles can also bring them more wealth, not to mention a team with a foundation like the Lakers, which can replace Kobe Bryant as the new king of the Lakers, which is very attractive to stars like Durant.

Of course, for Durant, he will also consider whether the team has the ability to win the championship, if it is a bad team, Durant will definitely not go. And if they also have championship potential, the Lakers will definitely be Durant's first choice.

Zhang Guan's words are not untargeted, he knows that the future Lakers will be reduced to a big tragedy, and they have been rotten for several years, although they have won several lottery picks and two lists, but they have selected some rookies who are relatively watery. Because the team's record is so bad, the stars are reluctant to come to the Lakers.

For a team like the Lakers, it is indeed more appropriate to sign big names directly than to develop players by themselves.

And today, Zhang Guan is to plant a seed in Durant's heart, Zhang Guan believes that with the attraction of the Lakers, as long as he can put together a championship-winning lineup, Durant has a great chance to join the Lakers in two years.

……

The score was finally fixed at 120-113, and the Lakers only scored 7 points in the final five minutes, but the previous lead was too great, and the Thunder scored 20 points like crazy, but it was still difficult to recover the defeat.

"Win! We won! The fans were in a state of jubilation.

After four years, the Lakers reached the finals again, and their opponent was naturally the Miami Heat, who had won two consecutive championships.

……

Miami, American Airlines Arena, Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Sloan hit a three-pointer to make it 92-117, and at that point, the full-court match sounded.

The Pacers lost, and in the aggregate, they also lost 2-4 to the Miami Heat.

Last year's Eastern Conference Finals were also held between the two teams, and the Pacers caused a lot of trouble for the Heat at the time, and the two sides reached Game 7 before deciding the winner. At that time, the biggest contributor to the Pacers' ability to resist the Heat was big center Hibbert.

Last year's Hibbert was known as the "LeBron" terminator, he averaged 22.1 points and 10.4 rebounds per game in the face of the Heat, which blew up the Heat's interior line, and the Heat's weak interior problem was completely exposed in front of the Pacers, and even many people felt that if it was a top traditional center who sat on the Heat's interior line, the Heat would have lost a long time ago.

However, in the era of the decline of the traditional center, Hibbert can be regarded as a general pulled out of the lame.

In this year's playoffs, when people expected Hibbert to continue to blow up the Heat, he was not as good as before, averaging 10.8 points and 7.5 rebounds per game, and the threat for the Heat was much less than before.

So the Heat easily eliminated the Pacers and advanced to the Finals.

In the locker room, James, Wade and Bosh were all together.

"I really didn't expect that the finals would play the Lakers, I thought it would be the Spurs or the Thunder, and the Clippers are more likely than the Lakers!" Wade spoke.

"It's not, this year's Lakers are not easy to deal with, they can enter the playoffs in such a disadvantageous situation, and in the face of the Spurs, it is a 0-3 comeback, we can't take it lightly." Bosh spoke.

James didn't seem to hear the conversation between the two, but sighed to himself, "It's been six years, time flies so fast, in a blink of an eye, it's been six years!" ”

Wade and Bosh heard this, their faces became solemn at the same time, and they both knew what James meant by six years.

At the Olympics six years ago, the Dream Eight team came with great momentum, but was defeated by Zhang Guan and lost the gold medal in the Olympic Games. And at that time, James, Wade and Bosh were all on that team!

"I thought I wouldn't have a chance to take revenge in the future!" Wade's eyes also flashed with a cold light.

"Revenge! That's right, we don't just want the championship, we want revenge! James muttered to himself.
