The G6 of the Western Conference Finals reminded all media reporters and critics of the G5 of the Eastern Conference Finals, and the excellent performance of the Thunder on the outside in the first quarter seemed to indicate that this game would be an offensive battle.

Coach Brooks is extremely excited at this time, this is the offense he has been looking forward to, the score is not more than 100, the Thunder don't want to win, and the rotation phase in the second quarter also continued the previous lineup, and Li Ze continued to play with Durant.

Coach Phil Jackson didn't immediately take the combination of Kobe and Gasol, but just let Kobe continue to bring the four of Shannon Brown, Wharton, Odom, and Bynum.

In the first attack of the second quarter, after the Lakers continuously passed the ball to the outside, Odom unhurriedly gave the ball to Bynum in the low post, who received the ball in the face of Collison and Ibaka, and immediately distributed the ball to Wharton on the outside, and made an open three-point jumper.

"Bang...", he was angry.

The long rebound was picked up by Li Ze, and the Lakers quickly retreated, and when Li Ze dribbled through the halfcourt, he immediately noticed that Kobe Bryant was no longer defending him, and in the face of Shannon Brown's defense, Collison quickly lifted up to block and dismantle, and Li Ze accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand.

Bynum's help defense reached the upper line, and the moving Li Ze suddenly hit the ground with his right hand, and the ball passed through between Shannon Brown and Bynum, and fell accurately into the hands of Collison, who went down to the basket, and made a layup with a low hand.

"Ahh

The crowd at Ford Center Arena began to scream again with excitement when they saw the team extend their lead again.

Li Ze also didn't know what kind of medicine the Lakers were selling in the gourd, the defensive intensity plummeted, and he had no determination to win the next game at all, and the defense seemed very casual.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe Bryant finally took over the offensive ball, and after blocking and dismantling with Bynum, he accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his left hand, got rid of Li Ze's defense, and made a jumper shot in the elbow area on the left side of the free throw line.

"Bang...", striking iron again.

The rebound was protected by Ibaka and immediately passed to Li Ze, and the Thunder team pushed up the conversion offense again, noticing that the Lakers' defensive position did not have time to explain clearly, Li Ze passed the ball quickly and directly to Durant outside the three-point line.

The latter received the ball, met Wharton's save, and switched to a three-point jumper.

The three-point shot hollowed into the net.

"Ahh

The 17-point lead made the Russian fans on the scene completely furious, and there was no suspense! They will beat the Lakers on their last home court of the season, and all the crowd is shouting with excitement.

“Beat

LA！ Beat

LA！ Beat

LA！ ”

Coach Phil Jackson next to him continued to hold still, the Lakers did not ask for a timeout, did not adjust the lineup in the next few minutes, and continued to give the ball to the outside on the offensive end, but everyone on the road was not feeling good, and Bang Bang played iron.

The Lakers' defense of Li Ze is still a double bag, but Gasol is missing on the inside, coupled with Li Ze's fast ball, Ibaka and Collison began to eat cakes frequently, and Durant also began to attack heavily in the face of Wharton's defense.

After more than 6 minutes in the second quarter, the Thunder had a 20-point lead, and it was only then that head coach Phil Jackson made a substitution adjustment, taking Gasol and replacing Kobe.

Coach Brooks on the sidelines also recovered from his excitement, and when he saw the Lakers' substitution adjustment, he faintly realized that the other party might be adjusting his state.

Everyone in the Thunder team has been completely hilarious at this time, with the blessing of the furious home atmosphere, everyone is brave, there is an opportunity, the three-point shot is also awkward, and the turtle and turtle who are on the court again also began to break out, shooting inside and out, and scoring continuously.

By the end of the half, at 50:70, the Thunder, who were playing at home, ended the first half with a 20-point lead.

At halftime, in the locker room of the Thunder team, everyone was smiling, the state was so good that it exploded, dreaming of returning to G1, there was a shot, this game was really enjoyable!

"I love playing at home! The fans of the Russian city are fantastic, and the Lakers' outside line is completely dumb! ”

As soon as the turtle returned to the locker room, he immediately yelled excitedly.

"The old guys are really physically unbearable, I feel that the Lakers' defensive intensity has dropped sharply, and I want to shoot them in the second half!"

It's rare to feel like it, and Durant is also very excited at this time, the first few games are suffocating...

"The Lakers should have thrown in the towel very quickly, haha, we had an easy 20-point lead at halftime, which was pretty cool!"

"Maybe we can get a feel for the atmosphere of the Western Conference Finals, and will the fourth quarter turn into garbage time?"

"I can't wait! Playing to the cheers of the fans in the city must be great! ”

Li Ze saw his teammates excitedly discussing the situation in the second half, and he looked relaxed and calm on the surface, but he always felt that there was something wrong in his heart, but he couldn't say anything wrong.

After all, this is the first time he has experienced a tie-break, and his high school and college experience can't help much...

When the second half began, the Lakers were still tepid on offense, facing the Thunder's oppressive defense, constantly scoring and playing, and finally finishing the offense from beyond the three-point line.

On the Thunder side, it was a storm, after halftime, the offense was solved within 14 seconds, whether it was a covering projection, or a continuous breakthrough shot, the ball could be sent to the basket, Li Ze still played the role of the organizer, constantly feeding his teammates.

At 74:96, the third quarter was over, the game was no longer suspenseful, such a big victory, and the Russian fans at the scene began to celebrate the victory at home frantically.

In the fourth quarter of the game, the main lineups of the two sides only played more than 3 minutes, and Coach Phil Jackson took the lead in requesting a timeout and replaced the players with water coolers, and there was garbage time in G6 of the Western Conference Finals, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

In the end, 100:121, the Thunder team fighting at home beat the Lakers by 21 points, and the Ford Center Arena completely turned into a sea of jubilation at this time.

Li Ze got 20 points, 5 rebounds, 13 assists and 3 turnovers in this game, clocked in in the third quarter, and almost didn't put too much effort, but unlike his teammates, he didn't have much joy to win this game, but the weirdness in his heart always lingered.

"Kayce, over here! We've got to thank the fans, and the atmosphere tonight was really great! ”

The smiling turtle immediately greeted Li Ze, who was in a daze, and motioned for him to hurry over and take pictures with the fans.

"The day after tomorrow, we will definitely be able to beat the Lakers, they really can't run! Signature? No problem! ”

Durant was also completely excited at this time, and while constantly signing autographs to the fans, he began to think about the seven-game battle the day after tomorrow...

Seeing that the fans were greeting him warmly, Li Ze also completely let go of the strange emotions in his heart, and immediately began to sign autographs and photos for the enthusiastic Russian city fans:

"Don't worry! Hold your horses! Girls, let go of your hands first, I promise everyone has a chance..."

As soon as the G6 match of the Western Conference Finals ended, TNT, as the broadcaster, immediately began to comment after the game, and in the studio, Kenny Smith was the first to speak:

"It was a really unexpected game, we all thought it was going to be a defensive battle, but the Thunder played crazy offense again, and honestly, I can't predict the outcome of G7."

"Chuck, what about your opinion? Are you still convinced that you can't win a championship with a jump shot? Seeing the Thunder's outside projection in this game, do you want to change your mind? ”

Host Earney Johnson saw that Charles Barkley on his right hand was silent, and immediately asked.

"Well, I don't know how to describe this game, but this scene reminds me of the G5 in the Eastern Conference Finals, where the Thunder made 11 of 25 three-pointers from the outside, which is very similar to the previous Magic team."

"I don't know if there's something wrong with the Lakers, they seem to have strategically given up this game, but in the tiebreaker, against the in-form Thunder, it was probably a stupid decision."

"But I'm not going to change my previous opinion, you can't win a championship with a jumper! The Lakers will win G7 because they are stable enough on the inside. ”

Charles Barkley didn't change his opinion and said it seriously.

"Kobe Bryant and Gasol both scored 18 points in this game, which is definitely not the real level of the Lakers, maybe Coach Phil Jackson has prepared two sets of plans, if the Thunder team is not good, they will try to win, otherwise they will give up the game."

Kenny Smith continued.

"It's a crazy idea, unlike the Celtics, the opponent has the match point in hand, and it is indeed feasible to choose the home court to advance, although the tie-break is played on the Lakers' home court, but no one can guarantee what kind of game the two sides will have!"

Host Ernnie Johnson quickly retorted after hearing Kenny Smith's words.

"Maybe Coach Phil Jackson is very sure, he firmly believes that the Lakers' tie-7 state will be better, let's look forward to the game the day after tomorrow!"

......

On May 30th, the Thunder team took the blessings of all the Russian City fans and set off for Los Angeles, on the 31st, the 7th battle will officially start, and the time of the first game of the finals has also been determined, no matter which team advances, on June 3, the finals G1 will need to face the Celtics.

After the Thunder team arrived at their destination, they had to start recovery training after lunch, and the away game, the training time still needs to be staggered with the home team, so the recovery training of the Thunder team this afternoon is only two hours.

Except for Li Ze and Kostic, the physical condition of the other teammates failed to recover to the best, and they survived to 7 games, and the physical strength of the monster turtle turtle was also affected.

"Huh... Swish... Hmm..."

Unlike other teammates, Li Ze was still training in three-point shooting at this time, at this time he not only increased the three-point shooting of the dribble, but also threw farther and farther, although the G6 game was a game of abuse, but he still received a bronze badge:

Achievement Badge [Ranged Arryman]: 3/50

Expand the range of three-pointers after dribbling.

Simple and crude bonus attributes, and Li Ze's shooting training at this time is to simply experience the bonus effect, after a few rounds of continuous shooting, Li Ze can feel that this badge has actually changed his shooting power structure.

Coach Brooks was very satisfied with Li Ze's state, but when he thought of tomorrow night's tie-break, the tension in his heart lingered.

"Scott, after Kostic returns, are we going to continue to prepare the previous small line-up? We need to prepare for tomorrow morning's training session and decide on the rotation and tactical play. ”

Coach Brooks pondered for a moment, then spoke:

"It's better to arrange a drill for a small lineup and let the players prepare, we don't know what will happen tomorrow night, we have to make a full plan."

"Alright! We haven't been able to get this lineup on the field before, after all, it's a big loss in terms of rebounding, and I hope that tomorrow night's game won't use this kind of extreme lineup, and I really hope that the outside line can continue the feeling of the last game. ”

Hearing the assistant coach's exclamation, Brooks suddenly thought of the Lakers' rotation arrangement in the last game, and there was some faint worry in his heart:

"I hope it's my delusion..."

On May 31, when the Celtics had advanced to the Finals, the West's seven-game tiebreaker attracted the attention of all fans, and the media reporters in Los Angeles no longer lost their character and never mentioned the yellow-green battle, after all, the Thunder had just beaten them by a big score in the last game.

Staples Arena, tonight is particularly noisy, Lakers fans with a sense of superiority can't sit still, a game to win or lose, everything is possible, it all depends on the performance on the spot, and then think of the last game just lost by a big score, many fans even began to pray to God...

The Celestial Empire on the other side of the ocean is Children's Day today, and it happens to be Tuesday, CCTV Sports will certainly not miss this focus battle, not only gave an early notice, but also invited two guests directly.

Before the game, everyone reviewed the Thunder team's promotion path together, and Li Ze's highlight performance was also repeatedly replayed, and the host Yu Jia, guests Zhang Weiping, and Yang Yi were dry-mouthed.

The game is played to this, and there is no need to analyze the question of who will advance, and if you enter the finals, you will make history again, everyone has no brains to support Li Ze, the host Yu Jia saw the hint that the director would give, and immediately began to ask:

"Coach Zhang, what preparations do you think the Thunder team should make if they want to win this game?"

"I still have to protect the rebounds, the few games I lost before, the rebounds were about 5 less than the Lakers, and the backcourt rebounds are too important, and the Lakers must not be allowed to play a second offense in a row."

After Yang Yi heard Director Zhang's words, he immediately added:

"The outside offense also has to be played, the Lakers have been wrapping up Li Ze for many rounds, and once the Thunder's outside line gets an open opportunity, they have to throw the ball in, just like in the last game, to speed up the pace of the game and let the opponent's twin towers run."

"Amika's counterparts are of the same opinion, but most people still believe that the Lakers will win this game, and there is still an advantage in playing at home, and for now, it is also a right choice for the Lakers not to suddenly relax in the regular season."

"We've got the starting lineup in front of us, the lineups of both sides haven't changed, Kostic on the Thunder side is still starting, the Lakers have also continued the two-tower lineup, the entrance ceremony in front has begun, let's switch the screen to the game first."

Before the game, everyone on the Thunder team was a little nervous in the player tunnel, and coach Brooks' pregame chicken soup didn't change the situation.

"I really didn't expect that Staples Arena would be so lively tonight, and it turned out that Lakers fans would also shout loudly! I'm still a little nervous right now. ”

The turtle probed his brain to feel the hot atmosphere of the scene, and turned around and said to his teammates.

"Like the coach said, the pressure on the Lakers is more, don't forget that we won the last game by a big score, I feel like I had a good hand today, but I didn't let my mother come to watch the game, we will win."

Durant is actually very nervous, but this guy is good at self-comfort, and he began to plant psychological hints for himself.

Li Ze was not worried about his competitive state, and when he saw that his teammates were babbling and venting their nervousness, he immediately opened his mouth to comfort:

"Don't be nervous, guys! Don't forget our best tactics, just give me the ball! ”

When everyone in the Thunder team heard Li Ze's words, they were first stunned and wanted to complain wildly, and then their expressions were a lot more relaxed.

Thinking of Li Ze's beast-level physical fitness, Durant was powerless to refute, and after hearing Li Ze's words, Turtle Turtle immediately smiled and nodded in agreement:

"As long as we defend well, we will definitely not lose to the Lakers in key shots, and when you think about it, the winning rate has increased greatly!"

"Makes sense, Kayce will shoot all the response shots!"

"Kayce restricts Kobe, we guard the inside, won't we win this game?"

"Wow! That's true, victory is in sight, and we're going to make it to the finals! ”

And after Li Ze heard the words of his teammates, his face was a little strange, good guy, Durant's stunt, self-deception You have learned the essence, self-consolation Dafa is invincible...

Tonight's DJ at the scene was particularly passionate, and his deep voice became high-pitched, screaming to introduce the home team's appearance, and the audience at the scene also began to send warm cheers for the players.

When the Lakers finished playing and formed a circle, Kobe Bryant's eyes were already on fire at this time, and he wanted to fight the Thunder in the last game, but was dissuaded by Coach Phil Jackson, and Kobe Bryant had entered focus mode at this time.

"Listen! I don't want to lose to the rookies, we're going to get to the Finals, we've got to get revenge, we've lost the win, we're going to get it back here, defend! Don't let the Thunder take cover lightly, you know? ”

When everyone in the Lakers heard Kobe's words, they all nodded with serious expressions, seeing Kobe Bryant in this state, everyone had no doubt that if you really want to make a mistake on the defensive end and return to the bench, Kobe Bryant will definitely reward you with two elbows...

During the final warm-up before the game, the players on both sides were silent until referee Tony Blazes signaled for both players to come to the center of the field.

"I'll lock you up tonight!"

In the half of the Lakers, Kobe Bryant stared at Bynum who jumped the ball, and whispered to Li Ze next to him in a fierce tone.

"Are you okay with your knees? Don't try to stop me! Take it easy, old man, I don't want to see you retire tonight! ”

Li Ze immediately whispered back, and took advantage of the moment when Kostic and Bynum jumped the ball, stealthily bumped into Kobe, and then immediately returned to the half-court defense.

"CCTV, what you are watching now is the 7th game of the Western Conference Finals in the 09~10 season, Bynum successfully jumped to the ball for the Lakers, and after halftime, Kobe Bryant quickly asked for the ball, and Gasol came to the three-point line to block and dismantle high."

Seeing that the Lakers played Kobe Bryant at the beginning, the host Yu Jia hurriedly sped up his speech.

The two sides played Game 7, and both teams were thoroughly familiar with each other's offense, Li Ze quickly squeezed through the cover, while Jeff Green raised and delayed Kobe, and Kostic on the line stared at Gasol on the line, and Durant immediately retreated.

With this set of 23 defenses, the Thunder team has become more and more proficient in guarding, Kobe Bryant faced a pinch shot, and immediately gave the ball to Gasol, who received the ball and threw it directly to Artest outside the three-point line.

In the face of Durant's save, Artest made a jumper from beyond the three-point line.

The three-point shot hollowed into the net.

"Oh!!"

The audience at Staples Arena saw Artest raise his arms and roar after the goal, and immediately shouted happily.

"Yo he! Artest scored a three-pointer at the beginning! This can be regarded as the blossoming of the iron tree, this round of the series, Artest will be allowed to pass one game, and the Thunder team can observe and observe. ”

Director Zhang saw that the Lakers hit an outside long-range shot at the beginning, and couldn't help but help the Thunder team come up with an idea.

The Thunder quickly sent out a baseline ball, and the turtle dribbled through the halfcourt, and found that the Lakers defended a position of outside and inside defense, which was different from the previous 32 joint defense, and the outside three-person defense was expanded, even Fisher was no exception...

Turtle held back his desire to attack, but according to the pre-game tactical arrangement, played an offensive gesture, Jeff Green ran from the upper line to the right bottom corner, near the three-second zone, and made a cross cover with Li Ze.

At the same time, Kostic was also in the paint area as a cover, and after two covers, Li Ze successfully received a pass from the turtle outside the left three-point line, but as soon as he got the ball, Kobe's defense was already in place, and the opponent chased and defended very fiercely...

Li Ze also accelerated his speed of handling the ball, after his body shook, he quickly released the ball with his right hand, broke through the cross-step dribble, dribbled a step over the three-point line, directly protected the ball with his back, pulled his right hand back violently, twisted his body, and then quickly closed the ball, exerted force under his feet, and threw a backward jumper.

"Whew...", a steady hit from mid-range.

Having played so many games with the Lakers, Li Ze also figured out the opponent's defensive routine, as long as he dribbled across the free throw line, a big man would quickly assist in defense, and if the ball was handled a little slowly on the line, the player at the top of the arc would also quickly wrap up.

"It's beautiful! Li Ze really has a bit of Jordan's meaning from receiving the ball to shooting, catching the ball on the flank, dribbling two steps back to jump, amazing! ”

As soon as Yang Yi saw Li Ze score, he did not hesitate and immediately started blowing.

As soon as Kobe Bryant saw Li Ze hit a shot in front of him again, the angry little flame in his heart almost turned into a raging fire, and when he saw Coach Phil Jackson give him a gesture, he restrained his desire to attack.

Fisher dribbled past half court, the Lakers continued to play high and low post cooperation, Gasol came to the free throw line to catch the ball, noticed that Bynum could not get to a deep position, immediately gave up the pass, and at the same time signaled Kobe Bryant to come over and hand over to receive the ball.

Li Ze naturally followed the defense, forcing Kobe Bryant to receive the ball away from the three-point line, Gasol quickly came to the high post to block and pick, Jeff Green came to the three-point line to delay, and Li Ze also chased after him.

Before the pinch was formed, Kobe Bryant once again gave the ball to Gasol, who received the pass, faced Kostic who came up from the switch, put the ball with his right hand, and after dribbling, he turned sharply, shook off the defense and came to the basket, and picked up the basket with his left hand.

Kostic's slow lateral speed was easily caught by Gasol, and the Lakers attacked the Thunder's weakness...

The Thunder attacked, Li Ze quickly came to the bottom left corner, Kostic and Durant stood at the free throw line, first pretending to block high, when the turtle accelerated with the ball in his left hand, Kostic quickly made a no-ball cover for Durant.

When Durant came to the right side of the three-point line, he easily received a pass from the turtle, ignored Artest's save, and made a jumper from outside the three-point line.

"Hmmm..."

"Good shot! Durant is also in good shape! If you hit a three-pointer from the outside, the game is good! Now it's the offensive rhythm that the Thunder prefer. ”

When Director Zhang saw that the outside line of the Thunder team also entered, he immediately smiled and said.

The audience at Staples Arena saw the Thunder firing from the outside, and there was a faint exclamation, and then everyone began to shout loudly for the home team under the leadership of the live DJ:

“Let's

go，

Laker！ Let's

go，

Laker！ Let's

go，

Laker！ ”

Perhaps due to the blessing of the home atmosphere, the Lakers' shooting rate is extremely high, and the inside and outside are blooming, Artest suddenly became brave, and Gasol and Bynum began to stir up under the basket again...

The Thunder trio also maintained an efficient offense, and Jeff Green and Kostic were also able to eat the pie, and the scores of the two sides began to rise alternately, and the head coaches on both sides had no intention of changing the main lineup.

With 36 seconds left in the first quarter, Bynum made free throws, Brooks head coach replaced Li Ze and Durant, and head coach Phil Jackson also replaced Gasol.

At the end of the first quarter, at 27:26, the Thunder, who were playing away, temporarily led by one point.

In the rotation phase of the 2nd quarter, the Thunder team still had Li Ze and Durant on the side, and the Lakers also directly took Kobe and Gasol.

The Thunder team took the lead in attacking, and when Vujacic saw Li Ze, his scalp suddenly went numb, and at the same time, Kobe's cold eyes were also watching him, which made Vujacic shout in his heart: "Tired, tired!" Destroy it! ”

Just after half of the court, Vujacic stuck to his side like a dog skin plaster, Li Ze held the ball in his left hand, suddenly raised the center of gravity of his body, pretended to accelerate and broke through suddenly a back dribble, and then turned around with a slightly fancy right hand, completely shaking off Vujacic.

The left hand of the ball accelerated to break through, just dribbled past the three-point line, the left hand was extremely fast on the spot twice vigorously dribbled, changing the rhythm of the dribble while quickly pulling back, noticing that Vujacic seemed to have given up the defense, Li Ze stepped back and jumped.

"Huh...", he stepped back and scored three points.

"Shet!!" "Oh!!"

Many front-row spectators at Staples Arena scolded directly, and a large number of Lakers fans screamed again.

Coach Phil Jackson frowned when he saw Li Ze hit such a three-pointer, and then made a gesture to the players to signal to maintain such a defense.

The first half of the second quarter of the game almost became the individual show of Li Ze and Durant, Li Ze even shot suddenly, completely broke Vujasic, Durant also played his projection ability very efficiently, covering shots, pull-up jump shots...

But the Lakers' offense was not powered off, Kobe Bryant and Gasol could always score, Odom could also break through the basket, and at 5 minutes and 58 seconds, the two sides changed to the main lineup again, and the score kept alternating up.

Coach Brooks replaced Li Ze with 1 minute and 26 seconds left in the second quarter, and Li Ze, who returned to the bench, took the water bottle handed by Byron, and after taking a big sip, his brow furrowed, and he found that the Thunder were losing their offensive rhythm.

Maybe it's because of the decline in physical fitness, in the second half of the second quarter, the teammates unconsciously slowed down their pace, and each offense was completed in close to 24 seconds, there was no chance to convert, Li Ze could clearly feel the heavy breathing of everyone....

At the end of the half, 54-53, the Thunder still maintained a slight lead.

At halftime, Coach Brooks saw the players looking a little tired, and finally realized that the coaching staff seemed to have made a mistake, the chicken soup was too thick in the last game, and the players were overexcited.

As a result, the game of grabbing 7 was stalemate, the thick chicken soup had antibodies, and the physical exhaustion made everyone's emotions never lift, and the momentum of the Thunder team's game was declining...

After the start of the second half of the game, the Lakers began to strangle the defense, and Artest, who was also involved in the offense in the first half, has completely transformed into a defensive tool this time, and is crazy about stalking Durant.

After Jeff Green threw two open three-pointers, Li Ze knew that this was a super ghost state online, and the Lakers used these two rounds to successfully lead by 5 points.

At this time, the third quarter of the game had been played for 6 minutes and 38 seconds, the Thunder team attacked, and Li Ze suddenly ran back, temporarily got rid of Kobe's entanglement, and successfully received Kostic's pass.

Quickly put the ball away, facing Kobe's defense, his left hand suddenly in

and

out, and then accelerated with all his might, Kobe Bryant's feet slammed, and the defense suddenly slowed down by half a beat, and was directly squeezed by Li Ze.

Gasol didn't expect Kobe to be easily broken through, and as soon as he remembered to jump, he found that Li Ze had already risen into the air at this time.

"Bang..."Breakthrough dunk success.

After landing on the ground, Li Ze did not celebrate too much, but began to encourage his teammates loudly:

"Hold on for a turn! We'll be able to equalize! ”

"Shhh

The Staples Arena immediately erupted in huge boos, and everyone didn't want to see Li Ze wreaking havoc on the basket.

But in the next game, the 5-point gap is like a curse, the Lakers can always score a response goal, and the audience at the scene saw the home team's performance, and they shouted more and more, and the Lakers players were desperately defending like chicken blood at this time...

Coach Phil Jackson also made bold substitutions at this time, replacing Wharton to allow Artest to rest for a few minutes, and Shannon Brown and Famar also began to rotate in the No. 1 position.

On the Thunder's side, the 5-point difference made Coach Brooks dare not replace the main force, but simply rotated Kostic, and the Thunder's offense relied on Li Ze's breakthrough projection and turtle's free throws at this time, and the sandwiched Durant withered again.

It wasn't until the fourth quarter that Coach Brooks replaced Sofrosa and completely made the lineup smaller, but obviously, this was not a suitable change, and Durant, who came to the No. 4 position, was no longer physically able to support high-intensity defense at this time.

When the score is behind, whether you can attack or not defend can't solve the problem, not to mention that the outside shooting rate has begun to decline seriously at this time, Li Ze every time he catches the ball and throws the ball into the basket, looking back, Kobe can also respond.

"I won! Defend to win the championship! ”

Taking advantage of Li Ze's free throws, Kobe, who has always looked serious in this series, suddenly smiled and said.

"There's still time, it's just a five-point difference, and we can overtake the score in two rounds!"

Durant immediately choked in response, although he is now weak, he still can't admit defeat.

Li Ze was not in the mood to respond to Kobe's trash talk at this time, a large number of offenses with the ball outside the three-point line, which greatly consumed his physical energy, every time he got rid of the defender, he had to do 2~3 shakes in a row, and at this time, the physical strength was finally a little unbearable.

Staples Arena was in a state of jubilation by this time, with 2:12 left in the game, the Lakers still held a five-point lead, and most importantly, the Thunder were languishing, while their big men could still wreak havoc on the basket.

Coach Phil Jackson also loudly reminded his players on the sidelines to stay defensively focused, signaling Fisher to continue to contain Li Ze on the line.

When Bryant stepped to the free-throw line and hit both free throws to give a seven-point lead, the crowd at Staples Arena began cheering loudly:

"Ahh

“MVP！ MVP！ MVP！ ”

With 36 seconds left in the game, the Thunder couldn't tie the gap in the end, and they lost those two rounds, and Coach Brooks pouted on the sidelines, a little annoyed why he always adjusted with the other side...

There was also silence on the Thunder's bench, and everyone knew that their playoff journey was over...

"Hum..."

At the final whistle, everyone in the Lakers team was cheering, 94:99, the Lakers who were playing at home overtook the score in the second half and won the G7 victory.

After the loss, Li Ze didn't have any frustration, 11 of 21, 3 of 8 three-pointers, 7 of 8 free throws, 32 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 turnover, he still got the highest score of the Thunder team, and the number of shots was also the most...

"Well done, Kayce! But after this game, I don't want to retire yet, I'm going to win the championship, and I feel better when I think about losing to the championship team. ”

Although Kobe Bryant often stares at death on the court, after winning the game, Kobe suddenly became kind and took the initiative to find Li Ze to hug and greet him.

"I was ready to lose in my rookie season, and the future is definitely mine! I'm going to win it back next year, I don't want to play a tie-7 anymore, I'm going to sweep the Lakers! ”

After Kobe Bryant heard Li Ze's words, he immediately laughed:

"I like your idea! But as long as I'm with the Lakers, we're going to win all the time! ”

Li Ze hugged and greeted every Lakers player with a smile, Fisher may have seen the potential of Li Zejin's thighs, and he didn't let go when he pulled it, sending out a lot of outdated chicken soup for the soul...

Gasol warmly invited Li Ze to Spain for a vacation:

"I've heard Mark say that you love the Spanish climate and you can come and stay with us for a while in the offseason!"

"Wow! I'll probably go to South Africa to watch the World Cup this off-season, and I'll definitely trouble you if I have the chance. ”

Li Ze and Gasol hugged and greeted, and then Vujasic, Famar, and Shannon-Brown also came over to greet Li Ze, only by fighting each other, can you realize how strong Li Ze is...

When Li Ze returned to the locker room of the Thunder team, he found that his teammates were in a good mood, after all, there was no problem with the penalty in this game, and the loss was indeed not able to beat the opponent, there was nothing to complain about, just play back next year.

Of course, it may also be that everyone is overdrawn and really has no strength to complain about the loss, and Durant is like a salted fish out of water, slumped in his seat at this time.

"All right, lads! Our playoff journey is over, it's been a fantastic season, and by reaching the Western Conference Finals, we've already surpassed the vast majority of teams in the league. ”

"Don't be frustrated, have a good rest in the offseason, polish your skills, the fans are still waiting for us, tomorrow when we return to the city, there will be a two-day fan giving back activity, enjoy the holiday!"

Coach Brooks is not in high spirits, and as a rookie head coach, reaching the Western Conference Finals is indeed a great achievement, but this loss, he also realized the gap between himself and the championship coach.

"When the giveback is over, we should have a big party to celebrate the season's achievements!"

At this time, the turtle turtle had recovered from the frustration of losing, and when he thought that Li Ze had reached the Western Conference Finals in his first season after coming to the team, he suddenly felt that the future was bright! The overall championship, there will definitely be!

"Cool! I've covered the cost, no one has to rob me, you all know! I'll be able to get my Nike shoe contract in the offseason, and I'll have another party then! ”

Although Durant was also a little depressed after the loss, when he thought of the 300 million US dollars, he felt the heat in his body surge, and his eyes were green, and he just wanted to throw money now...

"Whew!! Party！！ ”

When Li Ze returned to the mansion in Russia, he saw a large number of comforting text messages on his mobile phone, and couldn't help but smile:

"The surface brothers can sometimes be relied upon!"

After a simple wash, Li Ze fell asleep directly, tonight's game really bottomed out his physical fitness, and the consumption was still very large, at this time he wanted to directly have a cup of evil energy functional drink.

In the dream training space, Li Ze first noticed the upgrade prompt on the control panel, and immediately entered the achievement room, touching the silver badge that had just been upgraded:

Achievement Badge [Death Coil]: 4/500

Enhance the ability of players to defend opposing offensive players face-to-face on the outside, and reduce the physical exertion caused by movements.

Seeing the upgraded attributes, Li Ze nodded with satisfaction, the more physical fitness, the better, seeing the silver in the achievement room, and then thinking of the functional drinks that were about to be upgraded, Li Ze couldn't help but start thinking about next season:

"There are a bunch of simple crystal trophies at home, and I must get a few more exquisite ones next season, otherwise the showroom will be decorated in vain..."
