After the timeout, neither side made any changes to the lineup, and the Thunder served the baseline ball.

Wei Shao dribbled over the half court, and after Durant asked for the ball at the waist position, he changed from his back to the face frame, Leonard didn't dare to stick too tightly, and put a little distance to interfere with his long arm.

Durant lifted the ball from the side, and then pulled out his hand directly, Leonard's interference was very in place, Durant missed the shot, Li Kaiming protected the rebound, and once again dribbled and pushed the conversion.

This time, the Thunder team still set up a human wall to prevent Li Kaiming from speeding up the layup, Li Kaiming broke through from the right side with a shoulder press, and only took one step before encountering the person who assisted the defense.

In addition to Ibaka in front of him, there are two chasing blockers next to him, and the pass must be fast!

Li Kaiming lowered his head and took a step forward, drilled a hole into Ibaka's side, and then jumped up to face Lewis in the bottom corner to prepare for a pass.

At this time, the opposite center Perkins quietly appeared on the passing route, as long as Li Kaiming passed the ball, even if he was not stealed, Lewis could not shoot the ball directly.

Li Kaiming had already jumped up, his brain was running fast, at this time he glanced to the other side of the court, and found that Thompson in the bottom corner actually ran out of the empty position, maybe it was the previous time Thompson did not feel good, and the Thunder relaxed their defense against him.

There was no time to think, Li Kaiming directly twisted his torso in the air, and took advantage of the last time in the air to throw the ball to Thompson in the bottom corner on the other side.

After Thompson received the ball, there was a shock in his hand, a familiar touch came, and the words of Lewis and facial paralysis sounded in his ears, he put the ball together with both hands, quickly adjusted his feet, and then shot directly!

Everyone on the court looked up at the basketball in the air, and Li Kaiming, Leonard and others all ran towards the basket, trying to see if they could impact the frontcourt rebound.

The reaction of the Thunder players was naturally very fast, with Ibaka and Perkins turning around and stucking the Wizards outside, and it seemed that the backcourt rebounding protection was no problem at all.

After Thompson took the shot, his right hand and arm remained in the post-shot position, his chest rising and falling, his gaze rising and then falling with the basketball in the air.

Nation!

The basketball smashed into the hoop, but instead of popping straight out like before, it got into the hoop and rolled around the basket several times before it fell in!

Damn it! The Thunder players and coach Brooks all cursed in their hearts, lamenting that the Wizards' shit luck is so good, Thompson, who was not very accurate before, can score, and this way of scoring is mostly a blind element.

God is really eccentric, this goal is scored, and the Wizards are ahead......

Kerr, who was in the commentary booth, gave a presentation on the situation as usual, reminding the home fans that the Wizards had overtaken their opponents after 20 minutes of hard work.

But Kerr must not have imagined that his mediocre words would become the most important turning point in today's game.

The Thunder are still playing half-court offense, but this is the home court of the Wizards, and although Durant and Westbrook still have far more free throw treatment than others, the scale is at least not as outrageous as the third game of the series.

And more importantly, Thompson, who was iron for a quarter and a half, actually found his touch in the last few minutes of the second quarter and hit 2 three-pointers in succession, so that the Thunder team immediately gave up the trapping tactics against Li Kaiming, so Li Kaiming once again resumed the bombing of the restricted area in the last game, and scored 5 points in a row with a very high shooting rate in just a few minutes.

With the resurgence of outside touch, the Wizards also seized the final minutes of the second quarter to extend their lead to five points and end the first half 57-52.

Brooks' unease has grown, and it may have been a delusion, but one thing is certain, in this series, the Wizards never gave the Thunder a chance after taking the lead, and generally maintained the lead until the last minute of the game.

On the way down the tunnel to the locker room, Kevin Durant accidentally looked up at the fans in the audience and found that most of the fans had excited smiles on their faces.

Isn't there still a half? Isn't the difference only 5 points? Why do they smile so confidently?

Durant was puzzled.

This series has been a tortuous process for the Thunder, and it can be described as ups and downs.

Before the start of the Finals, Durant has a lot of confidence in himself and the team, if the East is the Heat's outbreak, he may still be a little frightened, after all, the Heat has the James who has been pressing him, but it is the young Wizards who come out.

Although the Thunder did not have an advantage in the regular season against the Wizards, Durant was still very confident in his heart, a little Wizard, as long as he showed a serious attitude on his side, the surnamed Li and the Wizards team would definitely not be able to resist!

As a result, he fell behind 0-2, and reality gave him a big ear scraper!

Durant was woken up by the Wizards and began to take this opponent seriously, and returned to the home court for a big victory, which made him lose his judgment of himself and think that the Thunder team was still stronger, so he dared to mock Li Kaiming and the Wizards team after the game "just practice more".

Turning his head to the next game, Li Kaiming incarnated as Duncan's second generation to dominate the restricted area, directly lifted the fig leaf of the Thunder team, and fell behind 1-3.

Although Durant kept telling himself that he could create miracles, and that no one did it before didn't mean he couldn't do it, when he was tied 1-3, there was a voice in the hearts of everyone on the Thunder team that kept repeating.

You've already lost!

And now, when Durant saw the relaxed demeanor and comfortable expressions of the Wizards' home audience, the voice in his heart seemed to have become louder again!

You've already lost!

Walking into the locker room, Durant looked up, some of his teammates were wiping their sweat, some were exchanging tactics with each other, and head coach Brooks was constantly drawing on the strategy board, and from time to time he also communicated with the assistant coach next to him.

It's business as usual.

But Durant saw relaxation on the faces of his teammates and coaches, it was a sign that the tight string in his heart had loosened after the dust had settled, and perhaps, before the game began, they were mentally prepared to lose!

"Kd, you're just in time, and when it's the second half, you're going to play like this...... Brooks would have thought that in such a short period of time, his right-hand man has already carried out such a complex inner activity, and he is still looking up and beckoning Durant to come over and look at the tactical board.

Durant tugged at the corners of his mouth and put a bitter smile on his face, "Oh, here it is!" ”

At this time, in the Wizards' locker room on the other side, head coach Sanders was giving the final cheers.

"Lads, we have the last half left, keep going, the victory is ahead, you guys played perfectly, I don't have anything to say, keep it in the second half, we're one step away from the O'Brien Cup!"

Although Li Kaiming's heart was also very excited, he understood that it was not yet time to open the champagne, so he stood up, raised his right hand into a fist, and the players of the Wizards spontaneously surrounded him.

Li Kaiming's expression was solemn, and when he looked around, the eyes and expressions of all his teammates were in full view, with excitement, nervousness, excitement and happiness......

The Wizards players looked at the young figure in the center, obviously young, but there was a kind of sophistication and maturity in them.

"Fight for the O'Brien Cup!" A deep voice rang out in the locker room.

"Fight for the O'Brien Cup!" This was followed by a roar of rage from all members of the Wizards.

Twenty minutes is not too long, it is not too short, and the mcI center has several halftime shows and cheerleading performances as usual, and twenty minutes slipped away from the scene.

Players from both sides returned to the court, and the third quarter officially began.

The Thunder team served to the frontcourt, Wei Shao broke through with the help of blocking and dismantling, and went to the basket to go directly to the basket against Bradge's defense, but unfortunately did not score, Li Kaiming protected the rebound, and the Thunder team quickly retreated, eliminating the possibility of the Wizards playing fast offense.

In the positional battle link, Hinrich and Li Kaiming's No. 1 and No. 4 positions blocked and dismantled, Hinrich who held the ball kept calm, and the Thunder team both went to defend Li Kaiming, Hinrich directly used this short space to speed up and impact the inside, and Li Kaiming was an outside dismantling to the outside of the three-point line.

Ibaka and Wei Shao switched defenses in a panic, Hinrich seized the opportunity to drive straight in, broke through to the basket to attract Perkins' attention, and then directly received the ball to Bracchi, who worked in the air on Perkins's head, who was half a head shorter than him, and dunked with both hands!

59 to 52!

The Thunder attacked, Wei Shao passed the ball to Durant after half time, and in the face of Leonard's defense, Durant directly got off the ball and dribbled a step to stop the shot, Leonard's height was not enough, there was no interference, and he was scored by Durant.

After Durant's goal, he looked at the Wizards players, wanting to see even a little bit of fear and fear in the eyes of his opponents, which is his favorite part of playing in the past.

In addition to listening to the cheers of the fans and the screams of the commentators, the attention and jealousy of opponents can also satisfy Durant's vanity.

It's a pity that he didn't find anything strange after observing for a long time, and the players of the Wizards seemed to be the same as before, serving and running, and didn't have any fearful thoughts because he scored a goal from Durant.

Why is that? Durant was puzzled again.

But soon, all his puzzles got the answer, Durant stood up, how could Li Kaiming, who was fighting at home, sit idly by?

So at the beginning of the third quarter, Li Kaiming showed his determination to bomb the inside, and at the same time used his passing skills to drive his teammates on the outside.

Durant finally knows where the confidence of the Wizards players and fans comes from!

With that guy in the No. 0 jersey here, this group of people is never afraid of falling behind, let alone breaking out of any stars on the other side, because they know that when the team is in trouble, someone will stand up, charge forward, and crush all the ups and downs!

The closer the clock is to the end of the game, the hotter the atmosphere in the mcI center becomes, and the more frustrated the Thunder players become!

Because the game has almost lost its suspense, the Thunder team scored one, and the Wizards responded with one, back and forth, and the point difference has been maintained at more than 10 points, obviously these 10 points are not much, but in the eyes of Thunder head coach Brooks, it is as insurmountable as a moat!

With three minutes left and a margin of 12 points, the fans at mcI Center were all standing up with excited smiles on their faces, ready for the night that belonged to the Wizards.

On the big screen outside the stadium, tens of thousands of fans who couldn't buy tickets jumped around the square, men raised their beers to toast to fans they didn't know next to them, and female fans raised their hands and hugged familiar people around them.

In the audience, Sun Jianguo, Sun Lan, Jiang Shan, Williams and others had already stood up, Jiang Shan covered his mouth with both hands, Sun Jianguo next to him shook his wife's hand, Williams had already twisted!

Finally, the short and long three minutes were over, and with a crisp whistle, a circle of red lights lit up around the rebounds and around the arena!

Bang!

Countless streamers were lowered from the mcI center, and in the noisy vocals and music, Li Kaiming had already hugged Sanders and his teammates!

We did it!
