Chapter 256: The finals of the class and the seizure of power begin

With Kevin Durant and Westbrook taking turns to make the effort, the Thunder's lead had reached 15 points at the end of the first half.

Popovich was completely unsettled.

There is no longer as light as the previous few games, and catching these Spurs guys is a scolding.

But for now, this situation ......

The momentum of the Thunder team, the Spurs can't suppress it at all.

Not only can't I suppress it, but I can't even keep up.

If it weren't for Tim Duncan's prayer to the gods, the "Stone Buddha" in 03 responded to him, scoring 10 points in a single quarter and contributing 2 blocks, but I am afraid that the game has become "garbage time".

But......

"Stone Buddha" can hold up for one quarter, but can't hold up for two quarters, and in the fourth quarter, as the Thunder team continued to show their endless youthful vitality, the Spurs, who had no one to continue to stand up, finally couldn't hold back and collapsed.

121 to 100.

Back at home, the Thunder beat the Spurs by 21 points, turning the series to a 3-3 draw.

Grab seven!

Grab seven!

The Thunder will be interviewed after the game, and their eyes are full of excitement.

Popovich finally didn't dare to "provoke" Westbrook after the game, and "Wei Shao" scored another 26 points in this game, if he continues to "add fuel to the fire", the devil knows what kind of performance this guy will play in the seventh game.

It's just that the momentum of the Thunder team at the moment is no longer something that he can alleviate by "closing the microphone" at the moment. Game 7 of the series, the Thunder, who are back in San Antonio, are even more aggressive.

What do you really want to say......

This is where their dreams begin!

After all, according to the rhythm of the first four games of the series, they should be sent home by the Spurs to fish in Game 5.

But it was before the start of this game that they discovered the power of youth and set off a "Jedi Counterattack Battle" that made the outside world look sideways!

At this moment, the eyes of the world are focused on this round of the Western Conference Finals, and everyone is waiting to see if the Thunder can complete this magnificent "counterattack".

Before the start of the game, Brooks didn't say much, as always, but said, "Go ahead, go and do this great thing!" ”

As he said this, he felt his toes digging at the ground, which was too embarrassing.

But the Thunder team is like a chicken blood, and he looks excited and can't wait for the game to start immediately......

Sure enough, youth is the second year of secondary school!

With the blessing of the "chicken soup buff", the Thunder team is even more unstoppable, and the Spurs have shown all their resilience in this game, but as the game enters the fourth quarter, their physical fitness gradually dries up, and gradually they can't keep up with the offensive momentum of the opposite side, and the score difference is getting bigger and bigger, and with 30 seconds left in the final quarter, the Thunder team successfully established a two-digit point difference.

With Ginobili missing a strong shot and Hindbaka grabbing the rebound, the Spurs gave up struggling and stopped playing......

Tim Duncan's sweaty face showed a little depression, he was "Black Eight" last season, and this season when he was leading 3-1 in the Western Conference Finals, he was pulled out by the opponent for 3 consecutive games and eliminated, even if the mentality is as stable as an old dog's "Stone Buddha", he can't help but be a little frustrated.

What's more......

In the final three games of the series, he really felt the momentum of the newcomers, which made him realize that maybe he was really old......

He walked up to Kevin Durant, who was still stunned, and patted the latter's shoulder: "The future is yours!" ”

Five years ago, he said the same thing to another "chosen son", but at that time he wanted to say the next sentence: But this time it belongs to us.

Today, in the face of Kevin Durant, he sent this sentence from the bottom of his heart.

Kevin Durant, Westbrook, James Harden and Baka Yin......

From this Thunder team, he saw the Spurs of that year, of course, they were more talented than the Spurs of that year, if this lineup can be maintained, he wants to win another championship, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve.

Kevin Durant nodded stunned, and when Tim Duncan turned his head to leave, he only reacted from his stunned stuppe, they won, they eliminated the Spurs, from 1-3 to 4-3, they really ......

And it did!

"We did it!"

"It did!"

"We did it!"

……

The Spurs' home arena, AT&T Center, is playing a scene of "joy and sorrow between people are not interconnected".

The Spurs players who left the court lonely and the fans in the audience at the scene were in stark contrast to the Thunder people who were bouncing around in the center of the court.

Brooks unbuttoned his shirt and walked to the referee's bench to shake Popovich's hand.

As the head coach who has been in this league for so many years, Popovich showed his bearing, congratulated Brooks with a smile, and joked: "If the Thunder team wins the championship, can I also participate in your celebration banquet!" ”

Brooks laughed too, but ......

Seriously, Popovich was not wrong.

The Thunder's next three games can be regarded as really finding their own way of playing:

Rather than following the rules and tactics, it seems that they can squander their talents on their own, and they can use all their abilities more. - Brooks isn't the first to do this, and that's how Kevin Durant's college head coach gave Kevin Durant "unlimited firing rights." Although Kevin Durant's Long Horns team failed to make it to "March Madness" in the end, Kevin Durant did deliver a satisfactory answer.

Called "the strongest offensive machine after Michael Jordan"!

Brooks has been the head coach of the Thunder for almost three years, and the biggest change he made to Kevin Durant was to put him at the No. 3 spot.

But it wasn't until this round of the series that he found out: the end of the universe is the formation, the end of the establishment is the security guard, and the best tactic to play Kevin Durant is "no tactic"!

In the same way, Westbrook also doesn't need any tactical restrictions, just give him the ball and let him play the way he wants......

With such a big "merit", can the celebration banquet not shout Popovich?

After the game, the "Thunder Four Less" took away all the traffic, and all the reporters present were basically by their side.

Prior to tonight, only nine teams in the history of the NBA had managed to complete the comeback and advance after falling behind 1-3.

The most recent one took place 6 years ago.

The Suns went 3-1 down to knock out Kobe Bryant's Lakers.

However, the Suns themselves are ranked higher than the Lakers in the regular season, and this reversal is not glorious. And Kobe Bryant didn't think about the opponent in the next round.

The Thunder are the 10th team in NBA history to do just that.

It is worth mentioning that there are many teams that are repeatedly on the list in this list, but the only team on the list as an "old unlucky guy" is the Spurs.

Of course, the last time they were beaten 3-1 was back in the distant years of '79.

Now the outside world's impression of the Spurs is just two words:

Robust.

So much so that domestic fans couldn't help but play three words when they saw that the Spurs were really eliminated by the Thunder when they were leading 3-1 by a big score:

Ye Qing Knot!

However, there were also people who replied to these comments:

What kind of "Ye Qing knot" is this, I just got "Black Eight" last season, and I'm going to end it early. In my opinion, the real "Ye Qing Knot" has to be Hu Ge announcing that he is a father, that is the real "Ye Qing Knot......

Early the next morning, fans all over the world knew that the Thunder team successfully "grabbed seven" and eliminated the Spurs in a big reversal. The number of Thunder fans has risen.

ESPN used the headline "Grab the class to seize power" to warm up for the finals.

The Thunder won the remaining spot in the Finals and successfully met the New York Knicks in the Finals.

As the representative of the league's youth army, the core of this team is Kevin Durant in the class of '07, Westbrook and Yinbaka in the class of '08, and James Harden in the class of '09......

A real new force!

The New York Knicks are recognized as Li Wan's "single-core leader".

In addition, the New York Knicks eliminated the Heat team of the "03 generation of heroes"; The Thunder eliminated the Clippers with Carmelo Anthony in the semifinals......

Li Wan and Kevin Durant packed the "03 Golden Generation" and sent it home!

This scene is like the wheel of the alliance's renewal rolling again!

The "Pan 96 Generation" has not completely come to an end, and the 03 generation has not started their own era, but the newcomers of the 07 class can't wait to make a big fuss......

Moreover, they did it, and this year's finals are the stage for the new generation!

Of course, compared to Li Wan, the "old bird", Kevin Durant can't even be called a "little chick", he is completely a "little chick" who has just broken out of his shell and has not opened his eyes.

However, it is the Thunder team led by this "little chick" that is more favored by the outside world at the moment.

The momentum shown by the Thunder in the final three games of the Western Conference Finals is, in their opinion, enough to crush any team in this league.

Even if Li Wan's New York Knicks only lost one game in the three series before the Finals, they still believe that the New York Knicks can't do the transformed Thunder.

Of course, Artest will miss two games, which is also the reason why the New York Knicks are not favored.

Kevin Durant was very excited to see that he was so "popular with the people", but the good mood only lasted until he secretly looked at Scarlett's Twitter.

When he saw Scarlett's netizens who were angry and not optimistic about Li Wan, he suddenly felt that this "popular desire" should not be wanted.

If he could, he would be willing to exchange the support of so many people for Scarlett's support......

"Avengers 1" has been released, and after watching "Black Widow" on the big screen, Kevin Durant is even hungrier.

He really wanted to tweet and express his love for Scarlett, but he couldn't think of how to clearly express his fanatical love!

Perhaps it was this resentment that made him unable to control the hostility buried deep in his heart when he was interviewed in the afternoon.

When asked "I met Li Wan on the first trip to the finals in my career, what do you want to say", Kevin Durant said bluntly: "I think this series will let everyone know who is the best player in the class of '07!" ”

As soon as these words came out, I almost didn't make the reporter who interviewed me happy......

As he reported on this interview, the smell of gunpowder in the finals came up!

Naturally, the Oklahoma media supported Kevin Durant's remarks and cheered him on.

When Li Wan was interviewed, he was also asked by reporters what he thought of Durant's remarks, and he added: "Li, who do you think is the best player in the class of 07, you or Kevin?" ”

Li Wan was not surprised, and even prepared, after the reporter's question, he unhurriedly took out a championship ring from his pants pocket and put it on his hand: "What did you say?" ”

At the same time as questioning, he took out another championship ring, continued to pull it on his finger, and asked again:

"Excuse me, what question did you just ask?"

Under the illumination of the magnesium lamp, the ring face was golden, dazzling, and a little "prickly", and the reporter who asked the question did not repeat his question, this question ......

There are already answers!

Li Wan's video quickly went viral on the Internet.

Kevin Durant received tons of critical hits.

This night, the bombardment of Twitter private messages kept him awake all night and fought until dawn.

Although his head was a little muddy, he kept repeating a sentence in his heart:

"It's this year!"

"It's this year!"

"It's this year!"

This is the sentence he replied to the most in the past long night, the keyboard is about to smoke, every reply makes him more determined, this finals, he must win!

On June 6th, the opening match of the 2011~2012 season finals officially began.

The first game of the Finals was the home of the Knicks, Madison Square Garden.

When interviewed before the game, the reporters found that the Knicks were all very impulsive, and they seemed to be holding back the fire in their stomachs.

They thought it was Kevin Durant's remarks that offended Li Wan, which made Li Wan's good brothers very unhappy!

Seashell......

It's Li Wan's popularity!

But that's really only one aspect.

On the other hand, it's a long story......

After the New York Knicks eliminated the Heat 4-0, the Spurs and the Thunder had just finished four games, but the 3-1 score made D'Antoni think that the Spurs were about to advance, so he did not arrange for the team to rest.

Outcome......

The Thunder rewrote the big score to 2-3!

D'Antoni, who had made a mistake in his prediction, felt that the Spurs were going to win this time, so he still did not arrange for the team to rest.

But as a result, the Spurs lost again.

But at this time, the big score has come to a 3-3 draw, no matter what, after playing this game, the victory and defeat will come out, in order to maintain the state, to deal with the Spurs or Thunder team who have been playing for the past few days, D'Antoni not only did not arrange a break, but also increased the intensity of training!

This kind of blue thinness that has been looking forward to a long time, looking forward to "heavier work", is like the author crying and shouting every time, brothers, let's get a monthly pass, it will be 5,000 votes soon, but the brothers have been saying "next time", and even turned their heads and tore up the ticket......

You say, can the New York Knicks not hold back their strength and want to prove themselves?

It's as if the author hears "next time", he will secretly say in his heart: When I get more than 15,000 or 60,000 every day, you still don't pay the ticket obediently?

The whole team of the Thunder team also quickly felt this anger.

At the home players' entrance ceremony, every New York player who walked out of the home players' tunnel would subconsciously turn his head to look at the Thunder bench and glare:

You bunnies are waiting for me!

However, if you want to say that there is a lot of anger, the Thunder guys are also very angry at the moment.

As the "rookies" who played the finals for the first time, New York fans gave them a glimpse of what it means to be a "finals-sized away atmosphere" as soon as they entered the stadium early:

"Kevin Durant, you can't even compare to a single hair of Li Wan!"

"Westbrook, are you vaccinated against rabies? You're going to be bitten again tonight! ”

"Let's go get the regular season MVP first, and then challenge Li Wan, you're still far away, Kevin!"

……

All kinds of trash talk that hit the heart made the Thunder team treat the basket as a New York fan when they were warming up, and smashed it with a "bang".

As early as 20 minutes ago, they were already waiting for the game to start.

"King of New York!"

"King of New York!"

"King of New York!"

When Li Wan appeared on the stage, everyone in the audience stood up for the first time, and at the same time, the huge cheers turned into a unified slogan.

Listening to the cheers of the scene, the domestic fans couldn't help but feel a wave of excitement and pride in their hearts.

Including some "Li Hei", they also have to admit that in conquering New York fans, Li Wan is as impeccable as Qingyang shampoo.

Barkley looked at Li Wan, who countless New York fans looked up to, and his eyes gradually became a little more incredible, this kid ......

Amazing indeed!

He suddenly thought of Kevin Durant.

Challenging Li Wan......

This young man not only has an outstanding temperament, but also has enough guts!

After all, the current players of the class of '07 shouting to challenge Li Wan are actually similar in nature to the stars of the 90s shouting to challenge Michael Jordan.

It really takes a lot of guts.

Barkley admires Kevin Durant.

Looking back at Kevin Durant's growth with the Thunder over the years, he feels that this guy is underrated.

You know, who was born in a small city and also led the team to the Finals, LeBron James was handpicked by David Stern as the representative of the next league face, and Kevin Durant now has only one title of "scoring champion......

The difference is so big that it is eye-catching!

Kevin Durant deserves a higher ......

The sideline director switched to Kevin Durant at this point, and the guy was picking his nose and didn't notice the perspective that TNT's camera was giving him.

This time Barkley is even more impressed, not by whom......

can have such an outstanding temperament!

The big screen on the scene was given to the audience on the sidelines at this time. Strange screams rang out one after another.

......

First Taylor Swift, then Scarlett, and finally Jennifer Lawrence......

The hot actresses flashed from the picture, which shows how bright the stars are on the sidelines of this finals.

Especially when the camera was given to Scarlett, the strange screams in the audience continued for a long time.

After the release of "Avengers 1", the era of Scarlett has officially arrived, and the role of "Black Widow" will make her the most gold-attracting female star in the world in the future.

This was also a period of skyrocketing popularity for her.

is also too popular, she didn't enter the stadium until the entrance ceremony of the home team's players began, but she didn't expect to be discovered as soon as she sat down......

Kevin Durant, who was picking his nostrils, was stunned for a moment, and then a steady stream of fighting spirit emerged, he must win this opening game!

The time for the game came quickly, and the big screen on the scene gave the starting list on both sides:

"New York Knicks: No. 1 Beverley, No. 2 Ray Allen, No. 3 Leewan, No. 4 Lewis, No. 5 Tyson Chandler!

Thunder: No. 1 Westbrook, No. 2 Sefrosa, No. 3 Kevin Durant, No. 4 Yinbaka, No. 5 Perkins; ”

Before Li Wan came on the court, he deliberately made a detour, and after high-fived Taylor Swift, he walked towards the court, and the DJ on the scene quickly cut the song and delivered the 10-second climax of "Black Cat".

Taylor jumped twice in excitement and sat down again.

This is the 5th year that she has been in love with Li Wan, before that, she was tall and rarely did the movements of these little women, but now that she has been standing next to Li Wan at 2.04 meters for a long time, the liveliness in her heart that belongs to a little woman is gradually no longer hidden.

The whole person looks a little more lively.

Li Wan, make Taylor more woman......

When no one sprinkled dog food on these two sides, Kevin Durant looked at Scarlett for the first time, looking at her eyes, "Xiaoshuai" was very distressed, and almost couldn't help but rush up immediately and said:

Give birth, I'll raise the child!

"Come on, man, watch out for you!"

Someone in the audience next to him was also interacting with Ray Allen, Li Wan turned his head to take a look, and found that it was actually the "Wolf King" Kevin Garnett.

This guy has a ...... with Ray Allen

Isn't it a ruckus?

How do you look at it, it is even better than when you were with the Celtics?

Li Wan knew that Kevin Garnett had spoken soft words in front of the media before, but with that intersection, it shouldn't have been Kevin Garnett who came to watch the game on the spot, right?

What he didn't know was that after that time, Kevin Garnett texted Ray Allen twice.

The misunderstanding between the two people was gradually eliminated.

In other words, there was no big contradiction between the two of them, and when Kevin Garnett retired his jersey later, Ray Allen was also sitting on the chair next to him, and the "Wolf King" even said emotionally: "It's you next, Ray!" ”

Therefore, even if he didn't know what else happened in the middle, Li Wan was not surprised that these two people were reconciled, but he didn't expect that this time the reconciliation would be so fast!

Think about it carefully, when the league announced that Li Wan was the regular season MVP for a second consecutive year, Kevin Garnett also interacted with Li Wan on Twitter, retweeted a photo of Li Wan and the regular season MVP, and wrote:

Deserved!

Come to the scene at this moment......

Li Wan suddenly heard the sound of an abacus.

"Both!"

The buzz sounded, and the players on both sides also stood in the middle of the stadium, and the cheers of the crowd reached a climax at this moment.

Kevin Durant looked at Li Wan who was standing opposite, and listened to these cheers for Li Wan, and the desire to fight in his expression became even higher.

Although it was the first time to play in the Finals, Kevin Durant did not have any nervousness at all, but instead kept pouring out one momentum after another, making him eager to play well.

From the "Best Rookie" battle in '07 to the "scoring champion" battle in '11 and 12, and Scarlett......

This sum of money accumulated from repeated defeats......

Li Wan, it's time for liquidation!

"Both!"

Another whistle blew and the referee threw the ball in his hand.

Tyson Chandler managed to steal the first attack for the New York Knicks against Yoon Baka.

The scene sounded again, the ball reached the frontcourt, and Li Wan ran out from the flank and took the ball in his hand.

Kevin Durant defended the ball the first time he got the ball.

In fact, at the beginning, Brooks arranged Sephorosa to defend Li Wan, but after the New York Knicks gave the starting list, looking at Li Wan's position in this game, Kevin Durant took the initiative to apply to Brooks: "I'll defend that guy!" ”

He felt that Li Wan, who had been playing the No. 1 position, was suddenly provoking him by suddenly changing to the No. 3 position in this game!

In the face of Li Wan's provocation......

How could he not have taken it?

You know, this is something that even LeBron James can't do!

Sure enough, in Li Wan's heart, he Kevin Durant is also a fierce rival that cannot be ignored!

Well......

Come on, let's have a men's 1v1 battle!

Who instigates whose grandson!

Kevin Durant was looking forward to a "I'll give you an ashtray, you give me two bottles" man battle with Li Wan, but Li Wan leaned on Kevin Durant, waiting for Ray Allen to go around the top of the arc and quickly give the ball to his hand.

Sefrosa's defensive enthusiasm is vividly reflected at this moment, obviously when Ray Allen receives the ball, he still has two big steps away, but after Ray Allen gets the ball, Seferosa's whole person has been pasted in front of him, and Ray Allen has no room to shoot at all......

However, it was also too tight, and Ray Allen, who quickly raised his hand to make a shooting feint, successfully completed the breakthrough from next to Sephorosa with his arms raised.

Quickly rushed to the basket, faced Yin Bacca's defense, and hit the ball into the bottom corner.

Ray Allen's breakaway ......

The ball startled Brooks.

Is this Ray Allen?

Isn't this the "skinny version" of Li Wan?

Lewis stepped forward and grabbed the ball.

Ray Allen's cold breakthrough is a remnant of muscle memory from an ancient period. Breaking through the ball is the experience of a veteran, but his passing ability is really not good......

Thankfully, Lewis had enough memory of Ray Allen's pass and the adaptive catch was successful.

Then "Mr. 100 million" showed his ability to adjust his shooting as a top pitcher, and hit a solid 3-pointer before Yoonbaka returned to defense.

3-0!

The "supersonic twins" signaled to each other, and this ball was enough to make Seattle, which has no love, shed tears of memory......

It was the Thunder's turn to attack.

Kevin Durant couldn't wait to run out of the wing as soon as the ball passed half court to catch the ball.

Li Wan just faced him, but he didn't give the man he expected "1v1", which made him feel that Li Wan was cowardly, since this was the case......

Then I'll show my sword!

Can......

Westbrook's desire to attack is no worse than his.

The embarrassment brought to him by Beverly's "mad dog", he held it every day and wanted to pay it back!

Before the game started, seeing this guy in the starting lineup, he was ready to use basketball to teach Beverley 800 times.

He wants to beat this "mad dog" into a "dead dog"!

Beverly also noticed Westbrook's recklessness, and instead of fear, he smiled a little defiantly.

At this time, Westbrook did not hesitate at all, stepped on the "Hot Wheels" and rushed straight to the basket.

As Li Wan expected, this early injury also made his physical fitness skyrocket in advance, and after a month of "sewer rebuilding project", today's Westbrook is really no different from the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".

Beverley easily judged his breakthrough route, but in the confrontation, his expression gradually grinned.

Since Westbrook's comeback, this is the first meeting between the two of them, and Westbrook's ferocity is a bit beyond Beverley's expectations.

He felt......

It's not Westbrook, it's LeBron James......

What a weirdo!

"Phew!"

Beverly was pushed out of the way.

Tyson Chandler made up for it the first time, and the result was ......

Westbrook, who topped Beverley, jumped straight up, and with such a quick breakthrough, he actually made a "pull-up jumper" less than 40cm away from the basket.

The difficulty is as great as you can imagine.

But it did catch Tyson Chandler off guard.

appeared......

Westbrook's signature scoring method: the zombie jumper!

Although the efficiency of this move is similar to Maddie's "dry pull-up jumper", or even lower.

But it can really surprise the defenders.

Just like this one, Westbrook had already made a shot before Tyson Chandler pounced.

"Bang, bang...... Swish! ”

The basket bounced twice, and the ball fell smoothly into the basket.

2-3!

Westbrook responded on behalf of the Thunder.

The Knicks gave the ball to Li Wan again, and when he received the ball, Kevin Durant slapped his hands provocatively, put on a defensive posture, looked at Li Wan with a fierce face, and kept muttering:

"Come on, come on, hit me if you have the ability!"

Li Wan......

Still didn't take the call!

When Ray Allen came around, Li Wan gave the ball to the latter's hand again.

The breakthrough just now obviously scared Seferosa, and he didn't dare to save so this goal, but his defensive psychology had long been expected by Ray Allen, so after receiving the ball this time, Ray Allen did not hesitate and raised his hand to shoot.

6-2!

Sephorosa is now a well-known outside defender in the league, but in these two rounds, Ray Allen has turned the new generation of defensive stalwart into a baby.

Experience gaps......

The Thunder make up for it with youthful energy.

Westbrook still held the ball by himself, and this time the layup failed to be completed, Tyson Chandler successfully grabbed the position, but was resisted by Perkins, and although his hand hit the ball, he was slapped away by Yinbaca.

The ball hit the rebound again, and as soon as it popped up, Yin Bacca jumped up again, successfully grabbed the rebound, and dunked with both hands to score a second goal.

4-6!
