Chapter 208: New Mission, The Return of the King!
After the Lakers and Rockets tie-breaker, the NBA news is still being swept by this big battle.
Yao Ming's four pairs.
Yao Ming's three famous quotes.
Coach D's mysterious smile when everyone was broken down by Yao Ming during the game.
In short, there is really much to say about this series, this tie-breaker.
Even after the game, there's so much to say.
In the game, Mo Gou, the general manager of the Rockets, wanted to score into the team's locker room after the game, but was stopped.
Because, without being notified, he was fired by Alexander.
Finally, as he walked out of the Toyota Center, the Rockets fans booed him wildly along the way.
There is also Bosh who was knocked unconscious by Yao Ming, and after entering the hospital, he was found to have a movable blood clot.
Fortunately, it was discovered in time, otherwise the career would be over.
This is pretty magical.
In four games, Yao Ming cried once, vomited four times, and stunned once, and finally found a very dangerous injury in advance because of a blessing in disguise.
This is a lot of fun.
However, this injury, which many fans have not heard of, is actually not easy to completely heal even if it is discovered in advance.
Until he is fully cured, Bosh will not be able to play because his life will be in danger.
This made Team Rocket very uncomfortable.
The Rockets just signed a five-year, $120 million contract with Bosh.
Although there is insurance, it is not a full compensation.
In the case of Bosh, for example, Bosh's salary next year is $21 million.
Assuming a season reimbursement, the insurance company needs to pay the salary: (82-41) x 80% x 210,000 = 6,888,000.
The NBA insurance company has a deductible for 41 games, and more than 41 games, only 80% of the salary is paid, and the insurance company can't even pay half of it.
Moreover, Bosh disease cannot be played without being cured, is it just a question of who pays the wages and salaries?
There is also the issue of the salary cap, the team has a maximum salary injured player suspended indefinitely, who can withstand this?
The uncomfortable part of Bosh's injury is that you still dare not break the contract with him, and you do not dare to pardon him, what if he is fine the next day?
So after Bosh was diagnosed with this injury that he had never heard of.
Rockets fans are numb.
"We'd rather James Harden get injured than Chris Bosh get hurt!"
Deng's reputation in the NBA in the past two years has indeed been very poor.
Even among Rockets fans, he doesn't have a high rating.
And Bosh, he's a native of Texas.
Don't look at Bosh, who has been beaten by Yao Ming in this series, either crying, vomiting, and finally fainting, but he finally stood up under the infection of his teammates.
Even if it's Yao's teasing, anyway, Bosh is still a little stronger than Harden.
Bosh, Jeremy Lin, and even Rockets head coach McHale have not had bad reviews with Rockets fans.
The ones who hurt the most in this series are Mo Gou and Deng Ge.
Another interesting fact is that Bosh immediately called Yao Ming after being diagnosed with this bizarre injury.
And expressed his gratitude to Yao Ming.
Hearing the news, Chinese fans were stunned.
In my mind, I instantly remembered Chef Fan's words to the big fool.
"Thank you!"
Trough!
It's instantly visual!
However, after thinking about it for a while, Bosh really needs to say thank you to Da Yao.
Also, another interesting thing is that after the Rockets and Lakers finished the seven-game game, Yao's restaurant was not smashed.
On the contrary, Yao Restaurant, which was on the verge of closure, it was resurrected!
Hearing the news, domestic fans were equally stunned.
Da Yao's series is completely blackened, and the domestication of Houston is very successful!
At the beginning, I was tired and tired in Houston, and I broke my leg, but I didn't gain so much respect.
This series took Houston to repair it badly, and by the way, after completely breaking the city's basketball, it got the greatest respect.
It can only be said that this world is really broken.
Gentle and kind are bullied.
Blackening Honkai is respected.
Well, in fact, those who are respected should be strong, right?
In short, the series between the Lakers and the Rockets, as long as anyone who is not blind, can see that Yao Ming single-handedly led the Lakers to the Western Conference Finals.
This is the first time in Yao's career that he has reached the Western Conference Finals.
This is the first player in the NBA to have a quadruple-double in the playoffs, and twice!
In addition, the first round of the tie-break battle was Yao Ming's final lore.
Now many expert media on the American side are already boasting that if Yao Ming really leads the team to the finals this season, not to mention whether the championship is not the championship, he will become the first player to show his dominance in the NBA playoffs after Nowitzki.
If Yao Ming really led the Lakers to the championship in the absence of Kobe, Maizi and Olajuwon.
Considering how far the Lakers have been this season.
This gold content is rising slowly.
The most prestigious championship in history?
If this is the case, then Yao Ming, a player who was once in the NBA, even the top 75 or even the top 100 in history, will have a direct historical status.
Now that the Western Conference Finals have not been played, it must be too early to say this.
But I can't stand those media who like to engage in traffic.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that in the Western Conference finals, the Lakers are still properly dogged.
The Thunder and Warriors played a brutal Western Conference showdown.
It's not the same as the Lakers Rockets, which Yao Ming made, 4 to 3.
The Warriors and Thunder are really the most brutal 4 to 3.
Four of the seven games in the entire series went to overtime.
Durant averaged more than 48 minutes per game in this series.
Yes, more than 48 minutes!
Durant played 52 minutes in the tiebreaker.
Played a full 53 minutes at Tennoyama in G5.
Good guys, this is superman!
However, Durant is not the only player who has averaged more than 48 minutes per game in this series.
Serge Ibaka and UAE also averaged 48 minutes per game.
In the end, only Wei Shao was still strong in the two teams.
Even Curry, who has been in a foul crisis throughout the series, has played an average of 40 minutes per game in this series, and in the end of the tie-break, he still failed to protect himself and sprained his ankle.
Curry sprained his ankle.
Ibaka fractured lower leg.
In such a brutal series, injuries are very normal.
And such an injury is actually very lucky.
In other words, if the Lakers play a series like this, they will have to hurt two or three highs and lows!
The series between the Lakers and the Spurs has not been so cruel, and in the end, Koko and Maizi and Master Ola are injured, aren't they?
It can only be said that the cruel west is too TM cruel!
It's hard to keep it intact after a series of strong conversations.
This series of Lakers and Thunder ......
It's another big challenge for both teams.
Especially for the Lakers.
The Thunder have been a bitter source for the Lakers over the years.
Durant and Wei Shao, these two, in the past two years, when did they meet the Lakers, it was not a big kill?
Fortunately, this year is different.
Du Kang has prepared a very sufficient forward reserve for Du Shao.
Ibanks, Covington, two Ariza Jr. and Ariza Jr.
There are also Artest and Jackson, two of the forwards who can go up to defend Durant with a dream back to peak card.
Even if you can't prevent it, you can consume a wave of consumption.
In addition, at critical moments, Antetokounmpo can also be used to consume Du Shao.
The current Lakers are definitely the team with the most adequate defense in the entire league.
What really gave the Lakers a headache was actually Wei Shao.
McCarvey's athleticism can't keep up, and Kanan's confrontation and athleticism can't match.
And then, use Roy to go against Wei Shao?
What's more, the Thunder hurt the Lakers the most is actually this team's super fast break and counterattack ability.
The Thunder and the Spurs are not the same.
If the Lakers can't shoot, Wei Shao and Durant can really run up and throw all the defenders away!
That is, Ibaka is injured, and Ibaka is not injured.
Da Yao will be very uncomfortable.
Ibaka, Durant, Carter, Westbrook and Reggie Jackson's big four, or Ibaka, Durant, Westbrook, Sefrosa and Carter, can make the Lakers run away.
Even if Thunder has a lineup of one big and four small, the positional battle can't prevent Yao Ming, and he can still make Da Yao cry.
Although Dukang and the Lakers don't want to see Ibaka injured.
But Ibaka's injury did come as a relief to Nash, Ham and Clifford.
Without Ibaka, the Thunder wouldn't be able to play that crazy big four, and the center position could only play Adams or Perkins.
This power has plummeted.
May 20, 2014.
Two days after the Lakers played the tiebreaker with the Rockets, the Western Conference Finals between the Thunder and the Lakers began.
This schedule is really speechless.
Once again, the Lakers couldn't return to Los Angeles after a tie-break, but flew directly from Houston to Goose City.
At this time, the three acting head coaches of the Lakers, Nash and Ham and Clifford, once again sighed at the foresight of Coach D.
Yao Ming, Roy and O'Neill O'Neill Jr. took turns resting.
In addition to Yao Ming, who played 44 minutes in the seven-game battle with the Rockets.
In fact, the physical strength of the Lakers up and down is very good.
In particular, Roy and Oden and O'Neill Jr., the three of them had a four-day break.
In terms of physical strength, the Lakers may still be above the Thunder.
Of course, the Thunder are a bunch of young people, and the resilience of young people, it's hard for you to predict.
What's more, the Thunder is still the two famous NBA beast teams.
May 20th.
The day of the game between the Lakers and the Thunder.
University of Oklahoma.
Dukang is discussing the start of this game with three of the Lakers' acting coaches.
Two days ago, Yao Ming just played a tie-break with the Rockets, and it consumed a lot.
In this game, no matter what, Du Kang has to take turns to rest Yao Ming.
The three Nash have no opinion on Du Kang's decision.
Coach D has proven his wisdom many times for an unknown number of times.
"The starters of this game, Oden, Ibanks, Artest, Roy, McCarvey?"
Nash suggested.
If you don't go to Yao Ming, this is no problem.
But why go on Auden?
Auden has an inside phobia, and everyone knows it.
Even if the Thunder's Perkins and Adams don't have offensive ability under the basket, they ......
Oden has no problem starting, but he must be accompanied by a player who can protect Oden's basket.
Ebanks' height, is it enough?
Adams' frontcourt rebounds are amazing.
Oden, who is a phobia on the inside, is soft under the basket, can Oden and Ibanks steal Adams?
In fact, for the Lakers, this is indeed a dilemma.
Clifford and Ham, two defensive head coaches, weren't too much in favor of Nash's plan.
It's too radical.
But.
The interior combination of Oden and O'Neal Jr. is definitely more stable, but the speed is not good, and it may not be able to keep up with the Thunder.
In the end, in this dilemma, the Lakers still agreed with Nash's choice after discussion.
In this meeting, Du Kang was smiling and watching his three Zhuge Liang discuss the whole time.
"Coach, look?"
"It's up to you to decide."
Du Kang smiled and nodded.
"Let's tell the players the news first."
After Du Kang finished speaking, the three of them went to the training hall.
Training hall at the University of Oklahoma.
Knowing that Oden, who was playing as a starter in this game, the expression on his face was wonderful.
Excited, nervous, and scared.
Meet Durant on the stage of the playoffs.
Catch up with Durant.
Let the world see yourself in Durant's world again.
Durant is his obsession.
In such a series, in such a game, to be able to stand across from Durant, Oden is really excited to explode right now.
But I was nervous about exploding.
The scared are going to explode.
If, this time, his performance is terrible, the whole world will point to him.
"You see, this is the top pick in the 2007 draft, what rubbish, the list opposite him is now a two-time MVP in the regular season, and he is even just a role player."
Thinking of these things, Auden's whole body trembled.
"Greg, are you alright?"
Roy looked at Auden worriedly.
"I, I'm fine, hehe, no, don't worry."
Auden barely managed a smile on his face.
"This is the opportunity I ever dreamed of, and I can't let Durant look down on me!"
Almost at the same time.
Du Kang's system moved.
"Ding, congratulations on triggering Oden's player quest, his world should have me.
The mission calls for Durant and Oden to swap jerseys after the series between the Lakers and the Thunder.
Quest rewards are based on the completion of the quest.
Ding, do you accept it? ”
This task......
Du Kang didn't know how to complain.
Is it that simple?
In terms of his relationship with Durant, it was easy for him to let Durant swap jerseys with Oden after the series, right?
Well?
"Isn't that the difficulty of the mission?"
Let Durant take the initiative to exchange jerseys with Oden?
That's not a small challenge.
With Du Shaona's character of going to TM basketball dreams.
If Oden can't get Durant's approval, Durant won't take the initiative to exchange jerseys with Oden, at most he will hug Oden.
And Oden is more special to Durant than others.
Oden has a plot against Durant.
Durant's affirmation of Oden also has a plot.
Such a plot is expected to make Durant even more harsh on Oden.
In the current situation of Oden......
Du Kang actually felt that this task was not optimistic!
Oden now has an inside phobia.
Although people are not soft, the style of the ball on the court is very soft and floating.
Dukang looked at Oden's player card.
Capacity: 91
Potential: 99
80 for a cut-in layup, 90 for a dunk on the spot, 75 for a cut-in dunk, 80 from close range, 90 from the mid-range, 75 from three-point range, 80 from the free throw, 80 with a back-to-back hook, 80 with a back-to-back jumper, 90 with a back-to-back control, and a 90 shooting IQ.
Pass accuracy 75, ball possession 75, offensive consistency 85, interior defense 90, outside defense: 80, blocks 90, offensive rebounds 80, defensive rebounds 90.
Lateral agility 65, defensive IQ 80, defensive stability 80, speed 65, acceleration 65, strength 85, bounce 80.
Physical strength 89, comprehensive durability 82
After more than a season of maintenance by Du Kang.
Oden is now physically recovering and a lot.
Stamina increased from 85 to 89.
Overall durability increased from 80 to 82.
Agility, speed, and acceleration have been increased from 60 to 65, and bounce has been increased from 75 to 80.
It can be seen that Auden's body is constantly recovering.
Oden has not been injured or sick for more than a year, coupled with his fear of the inside, he has always refused to fight under the basket, and now Oden's recovery is really good.
Of course, Auden is not yet fully recovered, and it is not yet time for him to die.
So Du Kang has always been very tolerant of Oden's insider phobia.
What's more, this is still made by yourself.
The source of his insider phobia is Da Yao.
Du Kang also got Da Yao to the Lakers, which is ......
If Du Kang still has an opinion about Oden's insider phobia, it is too inhuman.
Therefore, Du Kang has always hoped that Auden himself will come out slowly.
Just take it slowly, don't rush.
And that's what moved Oden and many Lakers players.
If Oden doesn't have an inside phobia, in fact, with his ability, it is very simple to get Durant's approval.
Inside Score: B+, Shooting Score: A-, Three-Point Score: B-, Organizational Offense: B, Outside Defense: B+, Interior Defense: A+, Rebound: A, Athleticism: C+, Basketball IQ A-, Growth Potential: A+
As far as Oden's attributes and abilities are concerned.
Even if he, like Ibencs, doesn't have that many skills, it doesn't matter, interior players don't actually have that much skill requirements.
What's more, Auden also has the strongest purple level fantasy footsteps.
So......
A smile appeared on Du Kang's face.
"Is it important to overcome the fear of the interior or is it important to get Durant's approval?"
Dukang is very curious if Oden can finally overcome his interior phobia in front of Durant and thus be recognized by Durant.
Oden
Opinion of you: 99 (You are my God)
Mood: excited, nervous, worried (Durant in front!) The best Durant, and I, not the best me...... )
This mood is quite tangled.
And in Auden's very tangled mood.
The Lakers lost to the Thunder 90-110 in G1 in the Western Conference finals.
Although G1, the Lakers decided not to win against Yao Ming, so they basically did not plan to win.
But this game is indeed too bad.
Yao Ming is not on it.
The Lakers' offense is all counting on Roy, Oden and the Pacers.
Well, for now, except for Roy, who is a star player, the rest of the Pacers four elders are considered star players.
But the four elders of the Pacers, Nash, they don't use it very well, and they don't have the proficiency that Du Kang uses.
In the end, the team's offensive pressure was all on Roy.
If there are teammates around who can help, it's fine.
Oden, who should help Roy the most, was 5-of-16 in this game, and his shooting percentage was quite touching.
The Lakers couldn't shoot and couldn't grab the rebounds in the frontcourt, so the Thunder frantically counterattacked, and the Lakers couldn't play at all.
At the end of the game.
Auden was very frustrated.
"Greg, look over there."
Roy didn't comfort Oden.
He patted Oden on the shoulder and pointed to Coach D, who was watching him applaud on the sidelines.
Seeing the coach who was applauding himself at this time, Oden was even more ashamed.
He started this game on Nash's suggestion, but it was the coach who made the final decision.
Ever since he developed an insiderphobia, the whole world has been mocking him.
The body is crippled, the body is healed, but the spirit is crippled again.
Such a difficult player to serve, just throw it away, but Coach D treats Oden as a treasure.
This puzzles many people.
In fact, the Thunder fans at the scene were equally shocked and incredible to see Coach D applauding Oden at this time.
Even the DJ who was on the scene was shouting incredibly.
"Greg Oden must have saved Coach D's family in his life!"
Hearing the shouts of the live Thunder DJ, Oden was even more uncomfortable.
One of the biggest highlights of this game between the Thunder and the Lakers is the matchup between him and Durant.
Especially before the start of this game, Durant received the second MVP trophy of his career at home.
After James's character was collapsed by Coach D, Durant, who had been pressed by James and affectionately called the second millennium by Jamie, turned over.
In both seasons, he won the final regular season MVP.
For a time, Durant was in the limelight and was now the biggest contender for the first person in the league.
The eyes of the list of those years have broken out of the cocoon into a butterfly at this time.
And Oden, the champion of the year, is still sinking and is still being laughed at.
Such a contrast.
Ordinary people really can't stand it.
That is, Oden, for so many years, he has heard too many such words.
"Coach, right ......"
Therefore, in the face of the ridicule of the Thunder DJ on the spot, Oden was not too uncomfortable, and the most uncomfortable thing was to live up to the coach's trust.
It's just that before Auden's apology was finished, he was directly interrupted by Du Kang.
"Greg, you don't need to apologize to anyone, you didn't do anything wrong."
Dukang patted Auden on the shoulder.
"No one does it better than you when it comes to something like this."
Oden was iron in this game, but he was still attacking.
It's just that his offense is a little floating outside.
The Thunder beat the Lakers without Coach D and Yao Ming at home.
This result is indeed very surprising.
The showdown between the Lakers and the Thunder, the Lakers are the dogs, and this is right.
It's just that everyone didn't expect that the Lakers would be so obvious.
So after this G1 match.
The whole world was cheering for the thunder.
"The Thunder are going to the Finals again!"
Even Thunder himself is very excited now.
After the game, as soon as possible, Durant and Wei Shao went to the hospital to visit Ibaka.
"Sergio, we're going to take the team to the finals!"
"In the finals, we're waiting for you to come back!"
Ibaka's lower leg fracture is relatively minor, and it is almost enough to rest for 2 weeks.
If the Thunder can really make it to the Finals, Ibaka can indeed come back.
The Lakers lost so badly in this game, which also has a lot to do with the momentum of the Thunder and the momentum of the double less.
Serge Ibaka's motivation for the Thunder.
It's like Kozi and Maizi's motivation for Lakers players at the beginning.
In that Lakers and Spurs tie-break, the Spurs felt how crazy the Lakers players were in that game.
And in this game, the Lakers players also felt the madness of the Thunder players.
As the two most trafficked teams in the NBA.
It's no news that the Lakers have been losing in the playoffs this season.
Last season, the Lakers didn't lose a single playoff game.
This season, the team that didn't lose a game in the playoffs became the Knicks.
The Knicks played like playing in the playoffs in the East.
In the first round, he swept Boss Joe's Bobcat 4-0, and the angry Boss Joe couldn't wait to go into battle immediately.
It's a pity that he can only sign a short contract and can't play in the playoffs.
In the end, I can only watch Spike Lee arrogantly take Nicks away.
In the second round, the Knicks swept the Nets 4-0, and the Nets sold the future of their team in order to form an F5 and Knicks to wrestle their wrists.
In the end, this result really embarrassed the Nets.
Joe Johnson, DeLong, Pierce, Garnett and AK, they and the Knicks' F4 are simply not a team in the same class.
In four games, the Knicks have won by an average of more than 10 points per game.
Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
The Knicks are up against the only Pacers in the East who can be considered a first-tier powerhouse.
In the past, the Pacers still had experience in playing James, and a big center like Roy Hibbert was James' nemesis.
But now, the Knicks have Howard, Roy Hibbert's nemesis.
On May 19, the Knicks and Pacers took the lead in the Eastern Conference Finals G1, and the Knicks won very easily.
It looks like this series is another 4-0 sweep.
After yesterday's easy defeat of the Knicks to the Pacers.
In fact, many media in the United States have been frantically hyping up the fact that the Knicks may win all the championships this season.
A replica of Coach D's miracle last season.
Phil Jackson was also very happy when asked about this.
In fact, such a question is generally just a smile and will not be answered.
But Phil Jackson answered, and it was very positive and direct.
"The Knicks are in great shape right now, winning all the playoffs? Of course we'll try. ”
"Hahahaha, I know you will compare me to Coach D, last season Coach D was F4 in the Lakers, and this season I am also F4 in the Knicks, we don't seem to be any different."
This stinky shameless!
You also deserve to be compared to DD coaching?
Many Los Angeles reporters at the scene were eager to scold directly.
But in the NBA, winning is the truth, and if Phil Jackson keeps winning like this, no one can spray him.
"Looking forward to this season's Finals against the Lakers? Of course, this will make the NBA, the whole world explode, hahahaha......"
That's what Phil Jackson said in a post-game interview on May 19.
Then the next day, the Lakers were beaten by the Thunder.
It's embarrassing.
Because after Phil Jackson said that, most of the media in the United States were hyping the possibility that the Lakers and Knicks would meet in the Finals.
That traffic will indeed explode as Phil Jackson said!
It's just that the Thunder's violent beating of the Lakers is like a slap in the face.
It embarrassed the hyped media.
It also embarrassed Phil Jackson.
"Phil, it seems that there is no chance that we will meet the Lakers in the Finals."
As far as the gap between the Thunder and the Lakers G1 is concerned, Phil doesn't even have a chance to go to the knife.
"Fei'er, it seems that you have no chance to become a god by stepping on Coach D."
After Kidd finished speaking, Phil Jackson's face was not so good-looking.
The Knicks have been in great shape this season.
Haven't lost the playoffs yet.
This gave Phil Jackson some new things to look forward to.
If you win all the playoffs, you will win the championship.
And if you still step on Coach D to win the championship, will it be super powerful?
For him, the perfect result is.
The Lakers and Thunder grabbed seven, and the Lakers advanced.
In this way, Coach D has three remaining suspensions.
In the three suspensions of Coach D, the Knicks took a 3-0 lead.
At that time, Coach D will come back and face a situation where he is 0-3 behind, Kobe, Maddy, and Olajuwon are injured.
In the end, I could only watch him be crowned king and become a god in one fell swoop!
Yes, it's the perfect result!
Coach D is back!
But Coach D is not coming back for revenge, but to see him crowned!
This kind of scene, just imagining it, makes Phil Jackson crazy with excitement.
But......
The Lakers are not angry!
Phil Jackson gritted her teeth.
A look of unhappiness.
At last......
"Next game, let Coach D out!"
Lakers G1 was beaten by the Thunder, which made Phil Jackson very unhappy, and at the same time made Phil Jackson infinitely inferior to the Lakers.
I feel that if I don't release Coach D, I will be a group of insects like the Lakers, this is the rhythm that will be swept away!
In fact, not to mention Phil Jackson, even the Lakers themselves, G1 is very tired when they lose so much.
In particular, the three acting coaches of the Lakers.
Yao Ming is coming back, but Yao Ming's role in the series with the Thunder is very unpredictable.
"If Yao can't show his dominance on the offensive end against the Rockets, then the Lakers will be dragged down by the Thunder's speed!"
"Can Yao show his offensive dominance?"
"Perhaps the only good news is that the two overseers of the alliance are back in New York!"
"Can Coach D save this Laker?"
Of course it was saved!
After Yao Ming's G2 comeback.
The Lakers gave the Thunder a 120-100 20-point win on the road.
In this game, Yao Ming made 14 of 19, 2 of 4 three-pointers, and 6 of 6 free throws, played 30 minutes on the court, and scored 36 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists.
At the same time, under his organization, Roy, Artest, Reggie Miller, and O'Neal Jr. all scored 15 points.
Yao Ming, and the performance of the Pacers four old G2 is simply explosive.
If Yao can break the inside line of the thunder, it is Yao Ming's strength.
Then the super gods of the four elders of the Pacers are definitely the strength of Coach D!
The four elders of the Pacers, the three acting coaches in the hearts of the Lakers Phil Jackson are really not good!
If you don't use the four elders well, you will have to die Roy and Yao Ming, and then, the Lakers will collapse.
Collapse collapse is going to be swept away.
Where like Coach D, this game has been dominated by the Lakers from the very beginning!
He scored 37 points in the first quarter, 30 points in the second quarter, and 33 points in the third quarter.
In the face of the Lakers' offensive efficiency, the Thunder can't run if they want to.
In the end, the small restrains the big, or the big restrains the small.
G2 of the Lakers and Thunder, gives the answer.
D Coach is big, restraining the Thunder team is not as small as Ibaka.
On May 25th, G3 came to the home stadium of Los Angeles.
Both teams finally got three days off.
After three days of rest, the Thunder lost even worse.
80 to 110!
The Thunder team lost by 30 points in a single game in G3!
At the end of the game, the Lakers fans at the scene couldn't believe it.
Not to mention the Lakers fans at the scene, even the three acting coaches of the Lakers at the scene are hard to believe.
So much so that after the game, the Lakers DJs on the scene all exclaimed loudly.
"It's so happy to have a head coach like Coach D......"
The biggest reason why the Thunder lost so badly in this game is that the two sides in this game feel bad.
Durant and Willis were 1-of-9 from three-point range.
If you don't feel good on the outside, you have to attack the basket.
Then, under the basket is Yao Ming.
The end result is.
Durant played 28 minutes in the game, 6-of-16, 0-of-4 three-pointers, and 3-of-5 free throws, and Durant even conceded 2 free throws in this game.
And Wei Shao was even worse, 6-of-24 from the field, 1-of-5 from three-point range, and not a single free throw.
As for Wei Shao's straightforward way of attacking under the basket, if there is no fast attack opportunity, the positional battle will impact Yao Ming, and it will be no different from sending it.
I really thank Young Master Wei for his 666, so that Yao Ming played three quarters in this game, and he hit 7 of 10, 7 of 7 free throws, and 21 points, 22 rebounds, 8 assists and 9 blocks in the whole game.
Quasi-four pairs!
If Yao Ming wants to, he can still get a quadruple-double in this match.
In G4, the Lakers defeated the Thunder again at home.
The score was 100 to 90!
The Lakers won by 10 points again!
Without Ibaka's Thunder, they have never been able to solve D's own offensive problems.
Because Perkins and Adams didn't have the ability to shoot, Coach D frantically expanded his outside players and put double players in.
Shuangshao feels good, but he doesn't feel good, in the face of the Lakers, he expands his tight defense, shoots iron, and breaks through the basket again Yao Ming.
There's no way to fight at all!
Ibaka's injury has left the Thunder's offensive and defensive systems in jeopardy.
And these problems were all caught by Coach D!
The trend of this series between the Lakers and the Thunder is really dumbfounded.
Even Phil Jackson was stunned.
"Phil, now the Lakers are 3-1!"
After Kidd finished speaking, Phil Jackson recovered from the shock, and then hurriedly shouted.
"Quick, put away Coach D!"
“……”
At this time, Kidd didn't know how to complain about Phil Jackson's use of Coach D as a knife.
But......
This is the appearance of opening the door and closing the door to Coach D.
Looks like it's weird.
After the G1 win over the Lakers, Durant and Wei Shao went to the hospital to see Ibaka, saying that they would bring him to the Finals this season.
Waiting for his comeback in the finals.
But now, seeing that the Thunder are about to be swept by Coach D and the Lakers gentlemen.
This kind of feeling is as uncomfortable as it is for Durant and Wei Shao.
Leaving Los Angeles and returning to Goose City, Durant and Wei Shao were greeted by the entire Goose City fans when they got off the plane.
Among the people who welcomed them back, the two were very surprised to see Ibaka.
"Sergio, you ......"
Durant and Wei Shao looked at Ibaka in shock.
Ibaka didn't even hold a crutch now, and just stood in front of them.
Ibaka has a broken lower leg and needs to rest for at least half a month.
He was injured on the night of May 18, and it was the morning of May 28.
Not even ten days have arrived!
Sergio was miraculously cured?!
"Kevin, Russell, I'm healed now, I don't have to wait until the finals, the next game, I can be back!"
After Ibaka finished speaking, he kicked hard with his injured right foot.
Really healed?!
Durant and Wei Shao, all excited.
Without Ibaka's Thunder, in front of Coach D, they directly lost their soul!
This Thunder, when facing the Lakers and facing Coach D, needs Ibaka too much!
Because Shuangshao's spirit recovered, for a while, the atmosphere of the entire Thunder team came back again.
Morale has come back again.
"Sergio, you...... Actually, it's not healed yet, is it? ”
"Vince, how do you know?"
Ibaka looked at Durant and Wei Shao not far away, and looked at Carter in surprise.
"No one knows what an injury is like better than me, even a healthy person, if you kick like that, you will feel pain, and you just now, you don't feel any pain at all."
“……”
Ibaka was silent.
A moment later.
Ibaka spoke again.
"I hit the closure."
“……”
Carter looked at Ibaka in shock.
"The coach, the team doctor, they all know that I'm on lockdown, and I'm not going to mess around, so, Vince, don't tell Russell and Kevin."
“……”
Carter was still shocked.
"Why?"
"Kevin, Russell, they, need me."
On May 29, 2014, the Lakers and the Thunder were in G5, and the Thunder, who were 1-3 behind, should be desperate at this time.
The Lakers, who get the series match point, can advance to the Finals if they win this game.
However, at this time, the Thunder fans in the entire Energy Arena were excited and crazy.
Because, Serge Ibaka came back when the team needed him the most!
Seeing Ibaka's comeback, Coach D was supervised by two more overseers, and the Thunder fans on the scene saw the team's chance to turn the tables!
Moreover, this G5 has indeed turned the tables.
Ibaka, who came back from G5 in the Western Finals, played 30 minutes in such a critical battle of Tianwang Mountain, 6 of 7, 3 of 4 free throws, and scored 15 points with great efficiency while also sending 4 blocks!
single-handedly revitalized the Thunder's offensive and defensive systems.
With Ibaka, Yao Ming couldn't squat under the basket.
With Ibaka, all the players on the Thunder court can attack, and no one can put it.
With Ibaka, the Thunder's ubiquitous defense has reappeared.
108 to 100!
The Thunder pulled one back at home, and the big score was also chased to 2-3.
May 31st.
Once again, the race is back in Los Angeles.
In this game, Lakers fans are already nervous.
A 2-3 big score is the most dangerous big score.
It is also the most tense big score.
Win a game and advance directly.
But if you lose one, it's tough.
And!
The most important thing is!
The great D coach is still being supervised for this game.
If this game can't be qualified, the next game will return to the Thunder's home court, and it's hard to say.
In this game, Lakers fans were very crazy.
However, in the end, the Lakers still lost.
90 to 105!
In the case of Yao Ming, a big defeat of 15 points!
This is completely unexpected.
The reason why I lost so badly.
The main thing is that the double less is running.
In this game, Wei Shao made 12 of 20 shots, 14 of 14 free throws, and 2 of 5 three-pointers, and scored 40 points, 10 assists and 5 steals.
In addition, Durant scored 31 points on 11-of-22 shooting.
The duo scored 71 points.
Ibaka had another three blocks.
The Thunder's offense has space and is fast, and the defense is also fast, and they can't wait to cover every Lakers offense.
After the thunder is clamped, it can be spread out immediately, a strong horse!
Yao Ming also performed well in this game, 11 of 16, 25 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists.
In such a positional offensive environment, such statistics are still played, which is very powerful.
However, the Thunder are really ferocious.
I can't hold it down at all!
Therefore, as long as you are not blind, you can see how powerful the Thunder with Ibaka is for the Lakers.
If the three victories of the Lakers in front of them make the Thunder see no hope.
Then the victory of the Thunder in these two games is to make the Lakers see no hope.
It's desperate!
The Lakers fans at the scene were desperate.
Chinese fans in front of the TV are desperate.
And Phil Jackson in front of the TV is also desperate at this time!
"Phil, I didn't expect that with Ibaka's Thunder, the Lakers would be so restrained!"
Kidd's words made Phil Jackson depressed too.
If I had known, I wouldn't have pursued a tie-break.
If I had known, I wouldn't have locked up Coach D.
Even if the Lakers advance in five or six games, the Knicks will play the Lakers in the finals than the Thunder!
Even if the Lakers still lose in the end, he won't regret it like he does now!
It's hard to die!
"Even if I release Coach D now, I'm afraid it's ......"
Kidd sighed.
The morale of the Thunder has risen.
The next game is the home of the Thunder.
Systematically, the Thunder also restrained the Lakers.
Kidd looked at the TV.
At the end of the game, Coach D was hugging the Lakers players one by one.
It was incredible for Kidd.
The Lakers players who shrugged their heads one by one, after seeing Coach D, had completely different expressions on their faces.
Kidd saw it, and Phil Jackson certainly saw it.
"Next game, let Coach D out!"
“……”
"In this world, maybe I am the one who knows him best and trusts him the most!"
“……”
Kidd looked at Phil Jackson in shock.
It's all like this, Coach D, can he still do miracles?
He didn't believe it!
Kidd felt that most people in this world would not believe it.
But Phil Jackson can believe it so!
Is this really an adversary?
Is this really a mortal enemy?
"Coach D, I'm looking forward to your return as king!"
“……”
The stronger you are!
to show my greatness!
Phil Jackson smiled.
"I want you to be in front of me, watch me prove myself, and be crowned a god!"
"You're not going to let me down, are you?"
