The Thunder, who returned to their home court, did not have much advantage at the beginning, and the Grizzlies even suppressed the Thunder in the first three quarters, and it was only at the end of the third quarter that the Thunder gradually tied the score and completed the overtake in the fourth quarter.

Durant and Westbrook both woke up in the fourth quarter, and the two staged a crazy scoring show that brought the game directly into the rhythm of the Thunder.

At 120:109, the Thunder finally won the game, and Durant, who had not felt good in the previous games, proved himself completely in this game, scoring 35 points and picking up 9 rebounds, while also having 3 steals.

"Let's talk about what you need to pay attention to if you want to beat your opponent." Rivers looked at the crowd and pointed to the Thunder generals celebrating in the picture, these guys will be our opponents in the next round, and they are better than the Warriors in terms of personnel.

The generals looked at each other, but no one took the initiative to speak.

"Paul, you come first." Rivers called out.

"The strongest of the Thunder is the double less, and the most difficult to defend is also the double less, and their impact will be our biggest headache. We don't have very good defenders in our defence, so it's going to be the hardest scenario we've had in a couple of games. Paul's assessment was very direct and said the biggest problem with the Thunder.

But the problem is direct, but the reference value is not great, and everyone knows this question.

"Chen Lei!" Rivers was the second to point out Chen Lei's name.

"Ah, I agree with Paul's point of view," Chen Lei said and saw everyone looking at him with disdain, adding: "In the last game, the gap between us and them was not much, just one or two offensive scores, in the face of the Thunder, we can push the inside, which is the same as they like to break through, they are all shots in the deep position, and at least I am not afraid of them on the inside." ”

After Chen Lei finished speaking, the others were even more disdainful, and after a few seconds of doubt, Chen Lei understood.

I'm not asking myself to put gold in my face, I'm just just expressing my opinion.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just showing my determination and position, Thunder is not to be afraid!" Chen Lei explained, but his explanation was not recognized by his teammates.

"Okay, I see what you mean," Rivers had thought carefully about just now, and this method was not impossible.

"Crawford, tell me what you think," Rivers said by name again.

Crawford picked at the back of his head, "I agree with Chen. ”

One by one, the others glared again, this guy also played this set?

"Don't look at me like that, I really feel that what Chen said is reasonable" Crawford sorted out his thoughts and said, "On the basket offense, we have Chen and Griffin, these two guys are not an exaggeration to say that they are bulldozers, they have their own proud scoring means, and we also have Jordan Jr. in defense, so in terms of lineup, theoretically we have an advantage, the opponent's interior line is only Ibaka, and the others do not have a stable output of the inside." ”

Crawford's explanation resonated with everyone, and people nodded in agreement, but this is not what Chen Lei meant.

When I say it, you all despise it, and when you come to him, you agree, what do you mean?

Discriminating against handsome guys?

"Look, what I'm saying makes sense, right?" Chen Lei smiled, "That's what I think, so we can start from the inside." ”

People 'politely' shook a few blank glances, and then stopped paying attention to Chen Lei.

"Damn!" Chen Lei, who was hit again, chose to keep his mouth shut.

The next two days were busy for Rivers, every day in addition to training was to watch the Thunder's video analysis tactics, the Thunder and Clippers game video and the Thunder and Grizzlies first-round video have been studied more than twice.

"This round is much more difficult than the Warriors" Rivers sighed, not only to worry about the double but also the opponent's bench, this is the biggest test for the Clippers.

By the evening of the 5th, all the promotion rosters had come out, with the Clippers, Trail Blazers, Spurs and Thunder in the West, and the Pacers, Wizards, Nets and Heat in the East.

One of the most anticipated is the two matchups, one is the confrontation between the young team of the Clippers and the Thunder, and the other is the Nets and the Heat on the Eastern side.

The Nets swept the defending champions in the regular season, although most of them were only two or three points apart, but this is the only team that has been able to accomplish such a feat in recent years, so their confrontation has made countless fans look forward to whether the Nets can accomplish the feat again and pull the defending champions down in the playoffs.

On May 6, the second round between the Clippers and the Thunder kicked off, with the Thunder taking a two-day break to face the Clippers, who had advanced a few days earlier.

"It's soft." Chen Lei, who was arranging his shoes in the locker room, sighed bitterly, he didn't rest all night last night.

I thought that my precious nephew would not cause trouble to him, after all, he was already sixteen years old and had reached the pre-stage stage of preparing for adulthood, but just yesterday he brought trouble to himself, and it was still a big trouble.

This guy said that he saw his girlfriend on the street yesterday afternoon, and he chased after him in a hurry, and finally saw the other party enter a luxury villa area.

And this bold young master jumped over the wall and jumped into the villa when he couldn't get in at the main gate, and looked directly from house to house, looking for the woman's figure, and the result was that he was taken into prison by the American police and arrested on five or six charges of voyeurism and theft.

Then in the middle of the night, the police came to his house and asked if he knew Hao Ren, and he hoped that he didn't know, but he couldn't do so.

In the end, he bailed him out of prison in the middle of the night, but it was already two or three o'clock in the morning.

I didn't go to sleep until the second half of the night, and in the morning I was pulled by Lei Tingting to fly to Oklahoma after morning exercises, and now my dream is to give myself a big bed and lie on it for a good night's sleep.

"The state value is only 66 points today, could it be that I am here to play soy sauce today?" In such a state, Chen Lei has experienced that unless he is in a deep position, the offensive hit rate will not be guaranteed at all.

85 points of feel, 66 points of state, what does this look like when combined?

Chen Lei leaned on the wardrobe and thought, and decided to go under the basket as much as possible today.

Today's game is more watched, this is the first playoff second round game, and it is also a strong team representative of the young team in the West, no matter who advances to the Western Conference finals, they have the ability to impact the final honor.

The Clippers' starting lineup has not changed, with point guard Iron Can't beat Paul, scoring guard shooter Redick, small forward fierce rookie all-round forward Chen Lei, big forward White Monster Griffin, and center basket abusing Jordan Jr.

The Thunder starting lineup, point guard Westbrook, scoring Jackson, small forward Durant, power forward Ibaka, center Perkins.

In terms of lineup, both sides are led by superstars, and both are assisted by star generals, so the starting fans alone can't see who has more advantages.

Of course, this is just the opinion of ordinary fans, experts who are proficient in various algorithms are more optimistic about the Clippers in comparison, the reason is that there is a variable among them, and the rookie who has not yet been fully positioned, Chen Lei.

Chen Lei has not had much setbacks this season, and basically his career path is a twist and turn but an upward line.

Especially in the playoffs, this rookie not only did not appear unstable, but got better and better, either scoring more than 30 or quasi-triple-double.

Of course, not everyone is optimistic about Chen Lei, and even many Chen Lei's fans are worried about whether Chen Lei's perfection is good or bad.

There are no twists and turns, although it is perfect on the surface, but it is easier to ruin a person, which is why every time the team wins more than ten games in a row, they both hope for victory and fear victory, and even some experts begin to predict that once Chen Lei encounters a setback, he will completely fall to the bottom and lose his current glory.

Chen Lei didn't know that the outside world was already paying attention to him, and even mentioned Cheng Dù, who was very close to Griffin, and his only thought at the moment was to finish the game with twelve points of spirit.

Of course, there is another thing worth testing Chen Lei is the magic hand skill, and the crit attribute is at the same level, and there is another skill of the nature of the number of times at this moment, which is the magic hand obtained in the last game, how powerful and negative this thing is, he is puzzled, and he needs to practice to test.

Critical Hit (Instant Shot): 3: 3 times per game

Clever hand (instant shot): 1:1 time/game

Critical hits and smart hands, now I also have two skills, one offensive and one defensive, so will there be a third skill? Chen Lei couldn't help but look forward to it.

"This is a reward for advancing to the first round of the playoffs, and it shouldn't be bad." Chen Lei comforted himself, and walked into the stadium with his teammates when the game started.

The opening tactics of the Clippers did not change and resumed the regular season routine, starting with Griffin to look for offensive opportunities, just to test the depth of the Thunder and whether the opponent has prepared any killer moves.

"I knew you wouldn't be an ordinary person, congratulations on taking the starting position so quickly" Durant looked at Chen Lei and said, he had long known that this rookie would not be ordinary, but he didn't expect to sit as a starter in a month.

Changing tactics in the playoffs to make a rookie start is either that the rookie does have such strength, or that the coach has a leg with the rookie, obviously Chen Lei does not belong to the latter, and he and Rivers should be innocent.

"Thank you for the compliment" Chen Lei replied lightly, not that he didn't want to put two cruel words, but he was worried that he wouldn't be able to take it back when it was too big.

You must know that his state today is extremely poor, and there is no guarantee that he will have the upper hand in the battle with Durant.

"It's not like your style, Apache," Durant looked at Chen Lei with some confusion, and then said with some concern: "Although you and I are opponents, I really want to fight with you who are healthy, are you not feeling well?" ”

Just when Chen Lei was about to praise Durant in his heart, Durant continued: "If you can't do it, be modest, although women are good, after all, they are only a temporary pleasure, don't miss a big thing." You know that at your age, it's easy to be influenced by the outside world, and now your key task is to compete. ”

"Holy!" Chen Lei threw Durant a roll of the eye and walked towards his own half.

Jordan Jr. and Serge Ibaka are already in place and will jump the ball for the team, and when all the players are ready, the referee starts the game and throws the ball into the air.

Jordan Jr. didn't give Ibaka a chance at home, slapping the ball towards his own half and being picked up by Paul in the half, and the Clippers attacked.

Bringing the ball to the free-throw line, Paul stepped back, not just a tactical set-up, just starting too quickly and not stopping.

The defender in front of Paul is Westbrook, and it is not the first time that the two are the No. 1 league leaders, and they are both familiar with each other's routines, so Paul will not do unnecessary testing and wasting his body on offense.

"Brother, we will definitely win this game, come on, let me feel your breakthrough!" Westbrook took the initiative to say when he saw Paul dangling outside the three-point line for five or six seconds, and issued his own challenge.

(Good morning~)
