"Serge, give me a little toughness in the second half, a little bit harder, this is our home stadium, what are you afraid of?"

In the home team's dressing room, Sterk Brooks was following his players, but the words that came out of his mouth were a bit of a surprise.

Ibaka had a helpless expression on his face, "Coach, I'm already very tough, his body is very strong, if I try harder, I guess the referee will have to blow a foul......"

Brooks had a dissatisfied expression on his face, "I can't see how hard he played, give me a good fight in the second half, I'm here for a foul, what are you afraid of?" ”

"Got it......" Ibaka bowed her head.

The twenty-minute break passed quickly, and Durant didn't even feel like he had a good rest, why did he feel more and more tired when the Finals were much easier to score?

The coach next to him came over to care about Durant, and the arrogant latter naturally wouldn't say that he was tired or anything, shook his head and strode towards the court.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, the Thunder really strengthened their defense, and after a 20-minute break, the players' physical strength also recovered a lot, coupled with the cheers of the home audience, the players were also very excited, and took out the defensive attitude of the third game of the series, and the outside of the Wizards was indeed a little uncomfortable.

Brooks nodded in satisfaction when he saw this, but his brow furrowed again when he saw Ibaka and Perkins on the inside.

The outside line was held down by high-intensity "defense", and Li Kaiming on the inside naturally had to give full play to his advantages, bombarding indiscriminately in the Thunder team's restricted area, and Ibaka's attitude seemed to be much tougher than in the first half after coming up in the second half, and a few times he even preferred to deliberately foul and pull it down, and did not let Li Kaiming go to the empty basket.

But while playing, Ibaka found a problem, his foul count unknowingly broke through 4, this third quarter has just begun, if it weren't for the Thunder, he would have been replaced by Brooks if he was not the only one who could defend Li Kaiming.

But even so, Brooks on the sidelines reminded Ibaka to pay attention to fouls, and the latter's face was almost crooked when he heard it!

MD, it's you who make me tough, and it's you who makes me pay attention to fouls! You want this and that, don't you?

was unhappy in his heart, and when he was defending, he naturally didn't have a serious hand, and Li Kaiming seized the opportunity to break through directly, while Ibaka subconsciously pulled Li Kaiming's clothes, but the pull was too obvious, and he was directly caught by the referee and blew his 5th foul......

When the whistle blew, Ibaka reacted, and Brooks on the sidelines covered his face.

Finished......

There have been 5 fouls before the end of the third quarter, and Ibaka is definitely going to go off the court to protect it, so the question is, who does Li Kaiming let defend?

Thunder players, you look at me, I look at you, and finally everyone turned their eyes to Kevin Durant, who was panting with his head down.

Durant felt the eyes of everyone, thought of his pre-series determination, gritted his teeth and said to Brooks, "Coach, I'll do it!" ”

"You, really?" Brooks hesitated.

"Of course, I will definitely live up to your expectations!" Durant turned his head and walked towards the court, his back looking like a warrior ready to die bravely, extremely tragic.

And after Li Kaiming came up, he saw that the person who defended him changed from Ibaka to Durant, and he also showed a mysterious smile on his face!

Finally waiting for you, you said that you have to practice more, so let's practice more with you tonight!

What happened next in the Energy Arena was the biggest shadow of Durant's career, a shame he never wanted to mention again in his life!

Li Kaiming faced Durant's defense and used muscles to fight against muscles, which made Durant realize what it means to be dominating from the inside, and what made Durant feel even more embarrassed was that Li Kaiming yelled at Durant under the gaze of tens of thousands of Thunder fans and cameras after he sat and hit him to the basket and then dunked on him:

"This is the inside line, not where a soft egg like you should be!"

This short sentence directly broke Durant's defense, which was already on the verge of collapse, and from this round onwards, he continued to ask for the ball on the offensive end, and used all kinds of big moves against Li Kaiming on the defensive end.

It's a pity that his physical strength is not as good as Li Kaiming, and he was kneaded by Li Kaiming in the inner line, and his physical strength was lost faster, so after the fight, he not only couldn't prevent Li Kaiming, but also ate several fouls, turned his head and didn't even have the strength to attack, and even threw a three-don't!

At this point, there was no suspense about the outcome of the game, with the Thunder's home fans leaving the game early with five minutes left and Brooks dropping the starting lineup with a dejected face.

At the end of the game, the Wizards defeated the Thunder 115-102 in Game 4 of the series to get the match point in the Finals, and only one last win was left from the ultimate goal.

Li Kaiming played 39 minutes and scored 37 points, 16 rebounds, 12 assists and 3 blocks for a super triple-double, Thompson hit 3 three-pointers and got 12 points and 2 rebounds, and Leonard got 8 points, 6 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks.

Falling behind 1-3 by a big score, this series has basically come to an end for the Thunder, and in the entire history of NbA, as of now, there are only 8 teams that have fallen behind 1-3 in the series, and the last one was the Suns in 2006.

As for the 1-3 fall behind in the finals, there is no one!

So after Game 4, almost all fans and sports media believed that the time for the Wizards was coming.

Of course, the response to the last game after the game is also a must, Li Kaiming said euphemistically in the interview, "My inside skills are still too good, under the reminder of Kevin Durant, after the last game, I learned from the pain and decided to practice more inside skills in today's game, don't you say, it really works, thank you Kd here!" ”

Seeing Li Kaiming's serious nonsense, the reporters at the scene couldn't hold back!

You're really a panda ordering takeout - the bamboo shoots (loss) have arrived at home!

For the Wizards, in addition to celebrating the hard-earned victory, the more important thing is to get back home and win that damn championship trophy at the mcI Center two days later!

Winning the title at home is simply one of the most perfect endings of the season, so under Sanders' supervision, the players did not relax because of the series lead, but instead put more effort into training and preparing for the game, waiting for the moment when the happy fruits will be harvested......

June 21, 2012, Emerika, Washington, D.C., mcI Center.

This poster is actually a group photo of the Wizards players, but it has been processed by technical means, Li Kaiming is in the center with the ball with both hands at the chin position, his eyes are resolute and looking ahead, and the rest of the Wizards players are distributed on both sides of him on both sides, looking like they form an arrow, and Li Kaiming is the head of the arrow!

Under this poster, countless fans wearing the home jersey of the Wizards are taking photos with the poster behind them, and in the square in front of the arena, in front of the big screen scheduled to broadcast the game live tonight, there has been an endless flow of people who can see the end, and there is still a full hour and a half before the start of the game!

The promotion of the Wizards team is also very hard, after all, this is the second championship in team history after more than 30 years, and it is certainly worth promoting.

At eight o'clock in the evening, several cars drove straight into the underground parking lot of the stadium, and the doors opened, and there were familiar faces.

Jianguo Sun, Lan Sun, Shan Jiang, Elliott Williams, and former University of Memphis athletic director Leonard.

In a Chicago hospital, Derrick Rose lay on the hospital bed, asked the nurse to lean the TV to the side of the bed, and looked at the excited faces of the Wizards fans on the screen, Rose couldn't help but smile.

If I can lead the Chicago Bulls to a championship, the Chicago fans will be just as excited as they are......

Tonight's game was definitely star-studded, with many well-known actors, as well as current and retired league stars, and of course, NbA President David Stern was in the audience, as it was possible to decide the champion tonight.

The league's staff also had two glittering trophies in place behind the scenes, the tall O'Brien Cup and the diminutive Finals mVp trophy.

Of course, there was also a heavyweight guest on the scene, and that was the famous superstar of NbA history, Bill Russell!

Since 2009, NbA has named the Finals mVp trophy as the Bill Russell Cup, and as the naming person of the trophy, Russell will also attend the award ceremony and personally present awards to the winning players.

When Russell appeared on camera, the Wizards fans who entered the stadium were also very cooperative with applause and cheers to give the all-time superstar enough respect.

In addition to Russell, the Hall of Fame superstar who will attend the awards ceremony, the first person in the history of the Wizards, the top 50 superstars in NbA history, and the only FmVp winner in the history of the Wizards, Wes Unseld was also invited to the scene to witness this historic moment!

In the warm-up session before the game, Li Kaiming also communicated with the old-timer in the past, Unseld is 66 years old this year, and he seems to be in good spirits, and the two have communicated amicably for a while, and the old-timers encourage Li Kaiming to win the game tonight, and will lead the Wizards to win more championships in the future!

At half past eight in the evening, after the pre-match ceremony, the players on both sides were ready, and Zhang Weiping in the broadcast area was full of red light and said the opening remarks of tonight's game.

"Dear fans and friends, welcome to the sports channel, today brings you the 2012 NbA Finals Game 5, Washington Wizards vs. Oklahoma City Thunder, before this game, the Wizards led by Li Kaiming have won 3 games, that is, as long as tonight wins this game, the Wizards will become the championship of the season!"

"The result? I believe the answer will be revealed in two hours, the two sides jumped the ball, and the Wizards won the opening ball again! ”

A match that decided the outcome of the series has officially begun!
