Chapter 518: Durant's Thoughts
Brooks kept rubbing his chin, to be honest, Green's sudden outburst was something Brooks didn't expect before the game, after all, Green's performance in the entire playoffs was average, but this one suddenly became stronger, and Brooks really had a feeling of being a dog.

However, Brooks is also a very experienced head coach, how to say that Brooks led the Thunder to the Finals last season, so Brooks still has real skills.
"Hey, Sergi pay attention!" Brooks thought about it and decided to let Ibaka make up for it when necessary, and Ibaka's defense was also very good, after all, the Thunder's interior line became tough because of Ibaka.
Ibaka nodded at Brooks, Ibaka is very confident in himself, although he was injured not long ago, but it didn't affect his performance too much, at least he felt that he was the same as before, and the Thunder's inner core was back!
"Come on, boy, let me show you how good I am!" Ibaka looked at Green coldly.
Green performed well, and his hand was very hot, Ye Feng naturally would not ignore Green, and handed the basketball to Green again, Green continued to hold the ball outside the three-point line on the right side to break through Durant, Millsap stepped forward to help Green block and dismantle, Ibaka originally followed Millsap, but when he saw that Green was going to use Millsap's blocking and demolition to the inside, he hurriedly ran to defend Green.
Green didn't stop and continued to make a layup to score, but Ibaka's right hand was ready to block, and with Durant who was defending in the back, Durant might also sneak up on a chase block.
However, Green passed the basketball to Millsap, who had just blocked for himself, Millsap looked at Durant who was running over like a mad dog, and passed the ball horizontally to Ye Feng at the top of the arc, Ye Feng faced Westbrook and moved to the left again, and Kobe Bryant received Ye Feng's pass in the bottom corner of the left corner and hit a three-point shot!
Beautiful teamwork! Brilliant goal!
Kobe Bryant smiled and high-fived Green and Ye Feng to celebrate, for Kobe, now the Lakers' style of play is very suitable for him, and he doesn't need Kobe to break through too much, Kobe Bryant even slowly transformed into a professional shooter, which makes Kobe's style of play have changed a lot, because the Lakers don't need Kobe to break through now, the breakthrough can be completed by Ye Feng and Green, Kobe only needs to run to the most appropriate position to receive a pass from his teammates and throw the ball in, which is also something Kobe is very good at!
It can be said that the Lakers have been transformed by Budenholzer very successfully, first of all, Kobe Bryant has become the same as Carter at the beginning are seeking transformation, once the transformation is successful, Kobe will become more efficient, and the Lakers' system has also become a bit small-ball play, but it is not very thorough, but the Lakers' mobility is very good, especially the young Hassan on the inside has excellent physical fitness, Millsap is also the size of a small forward, basically a combination of one big and four small to play a fast break will definitely make the opponent a little flustered.
The main point is that the Lakers have a lot of pitchers, especially Ye Feng and Kobe, the two super offensive points are too great a deterrent to the opponent!
The first quarter of the Thunder team did not take any advantage of the Lakers, although there was a crazy shout from the home fans, but the Thunder team had no choice but to take the Lakers, mainly in the face of the Lakers' rapid offensive play, the Thunder team couldn't parry at all, Perkins on the inside couldn't run at all, Perkins and Hassan are different, Hassan's physical fitness is very good, and he is the kind of slender interior mobility is very good.
Although Perkins and Ibaka's interior combination is very good on the defensive end, once the pace of the Lakers becomes faster, the two of them are basically useless, and the Lakers' offense basically ends in less than fifteen seconds.
As soon as the first quarter ended, Perkins sat on the chair with his ass, he was so tired, seeing Perkins' bitter face and sweat constantly dripping, Nima, the Lakers' grandsons were about to play him to death!
The Lakers are obviously prepared like this, relying on a quick offense, relying on a strong outside line to deter opponents, and sometimes Budenholzer will choose to keep only one of the two people, Millsap and Hassan, and then replace Nash with him, becoming a smaller combination.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the two sides replaced the benches, and now the Lakers are also playing hard, everyone is thinking about the finals, and even Kobe Bryant said that if everyone can rush to the finals, he will reimburse all the expenses of Miami Beach after the finals!
If you can win the championship, everyone can play how they want!
In the face of Kobe's huge cake temptation, the Lakers' benches worked very hard, and the substitutes for the Thunder were all stunned, so they didn't need to work so hard, right? Although the Finals are attractive, they shouldn't be like the Lakers' bench!
The battle between the benches is also very exciting, one is that he will definitely be known to more fans if he can show himself on the stage of the Western Conference Finals, and the other is that if you want to have a big contract this summer, you must need to perform better, especially many players who want to renew their contracts this summer are working hard to play!
Therefore, there are many players who perform well before signing the contract, but after signing the contract, it becomes regretful to go to grandma's house, which is also human nature.
The Lakers' bench lived up to expectations, not only did no Thunder's bench erase some points for the main force, but continued to widen the score gap, and by the time the Lakers' main force came on the court, the Lakers had a 10-point lead!
"Well done!" Budenholzer patted every substitute player on the back, for a team aiming for the championship not only needs the starters to be very good, even the substitutes must be extremely ferocious, it can be said that everyone is now not only fighting for the luxury of the starters, but also for the thickness of the bench lineup.
When a team has the strength of the championship, there are naturally many outstanding players who do not hesitate to take a low salary to join for the championship, which will also greatly enhance the strength of the team.
The Thunder kicked off, and although Westbrook dribbled the ball into the interior but didn't have a good chance, he passed the ball out again, and Durant hit a three-point shot at the top of the arc!
The Thunder fans let out a huge cheer, it was too depressing to watch the Lakers abuse their own team before, and it was more enjoyable to watch their team score.
Durant seems to have been dormant just now, and the next offense Green defended Durant very well, but Durant made continuous feints and then turned around and hit a jumper!
"Kevin - Durant - !" The DJ roared and the fans cheered.
Durant looked at Ye Feng coldly, each other's eyes were full of murderous energy, Durant will not admit defeat, if he is eliminated by the Lakers 4-0, then Durant would rather leave Oklahoma, the place that makes him sad, although Oklahoma is very good, but he can't give him the championship he wants, he would rather leave!
