Opening Kobe template, rewarding Curry with three points

Chapter 223 Finally meeting Dayao!Show off your power!

Westbrook said nothing, just nodded heavily.

'Kevin, we will always be together and bring a championship to Oklahoma City! '

On the other side, the Warriors also celebrated.

It was really not easy for them to win this game.

No, it was a thrilling win!
If it weren't for Su Bai, they would have really lost.

Fortunately, there was no danger, the big score came to 3-0, and this series also lost its suspense.

After the game, Durant, Westbrook and all Thunder fans did not leave. Instead, they held out their chests and shook hands and hugged Su Bai and others.

Su Bai hugged Durant and patted Durant on the shoulder.

Although Durant didn't take many shots tonight, his efficiency was really high and he was really tough.

Moreover, Durant really wants to be a good leader.

"There is no problem with Russell's final choice, and his performance tonight was phenomenal!"

When questioned by reporters, Durant helped Westbrook speak.

Durant knows Westbrook's ambitions, but he is very confident that he can become "Jordan".

And Westbrook is his "Pippen".

On the other side, Su Bai also praised Durant and Westbrook during the on-field interview.

The Thunder did a great job tonight.

It is not an exaggeration to describe it as "glory in spite of defeat".

[Well done to the Thunder!
This is really forcing the strongest warrior out! 】

[Yes, if you want to win against the Warriors, confrontation is the way to go.

The Thunder are showing off the Mavericks! 】

[It’s just that the strongest Thunder also forced out the strongest Su Bai!

Second in playoff history is 62 points!
This means there was no overtime, otherwise Jordan's 63 points would most likely have been lost. 】

[This game is indeed exciting, and the Thunder’s response is absolutely fine.

Durant has shown leadership qualities and Westbrook has not concealed his flaws. They do have hope of snatching a victory from the Warriors. 】

……

In anticipation of the fans, the G4 game between the Warriors and Thunder will continue two days later.

The Thunder fans at the scene were still full of energy.

Although it was a pity to lose two days ago, it doesn't matter. They really boosted their morale in that battle, and the Warriors are really not so invincible in their hearts.

Unfortunately, the progress of the game exceeded their expectations.

The Warriors made adjustments tonight.

Su Bai went to defend Westbrook as soon as the game started.

Then there is no more then.

Even though Su Bai performed well offensively without guarding Durant, without Westbrook's offensive firepower and support, the Thunder's offense was really not as good as the Warriors'.

The Warriors have really been suppressing the Thunder.

After three quarters, the Warriors had opened the point difference to 22 points.

The game has actually lost its suspense.

In the end, 121 to 103, the Warriors defeated the Thunder by 18 points, completing the sweep of the Thunder.

Under Su Bai's defense, Westbrook struggled throughout the game, making only 15 of 4 shots and scoring 13 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists.

As for Durant, he had his best performance in this series, scoring 42 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists.

It's a pity that it was all in vain.

Following the Grizzlies, the Thunder were also swept out.

It's just that the Thunder were clearly outmatched by the Grizzlies and almost broke the Warriors' undefeated streak.

Now it’s up to the Mavericks!
Just one day ago, the Mavericks swept the five-star Lakers and became the first team among all teams to advance to the conference finals.

They are in really good shape.

Therefore, they really carry the expectations of too many fans.

In the East, the Heat lead the Celtics 3-1, while the Bulls and Hawks tied 2-2.

Unlike the slow start in previous seasons, the Celtics have indeed shown their age this season.

And although the Heat's Big Three are disliked by the media and fans, the energy they show is indeed amazing.

As for the reason why the Bulls did not have a crushing advantage against the Hawks, they were still a little weak.

In the words of fans, the Bulls use a playoff style of play in the regular season, so even if many of their main players miss the regular season due to injuries, they can still have a very good record, and even beat them. Hot fire team.

But in the playoffs, as other teams play more and more targeted and the confrontation becomes stronger, the Bulls' tactical advantage becomes smaller and smaller.

Coupled with the fact that Boozer, a pseudo-superstar, did not perform well in the playoffs, this situation occurred.

It's only a matter of time before the Heat beat the Celtics, while the Bulls will have to play at least six games or even a tiebreaker if they want to win.

The Western Conference Finals between the Warriors and the Mavericks did not start immediately. Instead, their first game would not begin until the fourth day after the Warriors advanced.

The league arranged this so that the Eastern and Western Conference finals could be slightly closer.

Then, the day before the Warriors and Mavericks game, the conference semifinals in the Eastern Conference were all finished.

There is not much suspense on the Heat's side. They defeated the Celtics, the old three giants, with a big score of 4:1 and successfully advanced to the Eastern Conference finals.

With Rose's superb performance, the Bulls also successfully defeated the Hawks [-]-[-] and met the Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Heat VS Bulls!

The Eastern Conference Finals are about to begin.

However, the attention of the Eastern Conference Finals is far less than that of the Western Conference Finals.

The Heat's Big Three and Rose are all very popular.

But they are worse than the Warriors and Mavericks.

The most fundamental reason for this situation is the huge gap in team strength.

In the opinion of many fans and experts.

The Heat were only [-]-[-] against the five-star Lakers, but the Mavericks were able to sweep the five-star Lakers, which shows that the Mavericks are in great shape.

As for the Bulls, they are at a disadvantage facing the Heat.

The Warriors' words have become the devil in the hearts of all teams and experts!

Therefore, in the minds of many fans and experts, the winner of this Western Conference Finals will have a very high probability of winning the championship.

The reason why there is a high probability, rather than certainty, is because the Warriors and Mavericks in this round of the Western Conference Finals may consume a lot of money from the winner.

Then the finals will be really hard to say.

……

The Mavericks have gone to San Francisco for training for several days in advance.

Because the training had been secret before, reporters were not able to interview the Mavericks players.

After the training session on the day of the game, the Mavericks finally opened the interview due to strong requests from the media.

Neither Nowitzki nor Dayao are arrogant, and they answer questions quite well.

On the contrary, the Mavericks' substitute sixth man "Jet" Terry showed no mercy at all when being interviewed by reporters.

"I know many people are optimistic about the Warriors now, but the next game will surprise everyone!"

"You mean you can win tonight's game?"

A reporter asked excitedly.

Speaking of which, Terry really has such confidence.

After all, they swept the four-star Lakers.The Warriors also lost against the Lakers in the regular season.

"Yes, that's right!"

Terry said decisively.

Terry knows that his teammates are in good shape, so what he has to do now is give them confidence.

And Terry really thought so in his heart.

In their current state, winning against the Warriors is really not a low-probability event.

That night, Oracle Arena was once again buzzing with people.

Warriors fans are excited, but also a little worried.

Terry is indeed a big mouth, but that also shows that the Mavericks do have confidence, so there may be some unexpected situations tonight.

"Terry's big mouth is looking for death!" O'Neal said unhappily in the locker room.

O'Neal doesn't like his opponents to be so arrogant.

"Terry is indeed arrogant, but he is really good, and the Mavericks are in really good shape right now!" Stephen Jackson said calmly.

Before O'Neal could refute, Su Bai said, "Jackson is right. The Mavericks must be well prepared for this game, especially Shaq. Be careful."

In the past, O'Neal would have pretended that it was okay, but this time O'Neal nodded cautiously.

For no other reason!
His opponent tonight is Dayao!

In the last round, in the game against the Lakers, Dayao defeated Bynum in all aspects!

During the warm-up shooting, Su Bai, Nowitzki and Dayao all said hello.

Just as the fans thought, this Mavericks team is Su Bai's most powerful opponent.

As long as he beats them, no matter which team from the Eastern Conference enters the finals, Su Bai really has nothing to fear.

Soon, after the cool opening ceremony, the starting lineups of the two teams were shown on the big screen.

Mavericks: Kidd, Stevenson, Marion, Nowitzki and Yao;

Warriors: Curry, Iverson, Su Bai, Stephen Jackson and O'Neal.

"Jackson, this game is going to be hard on you!"

Before playing, Coach Nelson patted Stephen Jackson on the shoulder and said.

They adjusted their defense tonight, and Stephen Jackson's defense will be the top priority.

Stephen Jackson nodded solemnly, without any fear.

Stephen Jackson is ready to use up all his energy on the defensive end!

After the players from the two teams came on stage, the battle was about to begin!
In the center circle, O'Neal successfully moved the ball back to the Warriors' half, kicking off the game.

After Curry received the ball, he quickly threw the ball to Iverson, who rushed towards the Mavericks half like lightning!
It caused the fans to scream in surprise.

Although he is at the end of his career, after a season of rest, Iverson is still the fastest in the league. Stevenson on the Mavericks side still can't keep up even though he is well prepared!
After losing weight, Dayao and Nowitzki also focused on returning to defense quickly, but...

But still only Iverson's soaring figure could be seen.

"Oh!"

Iverson, who entered the penalty area, jumped high as if he had rockets tied to his legs, and then blasted the basketball into the basket!
The scene burst into cheers!

Iverson showed himself right from the start, as well as the Warriors' determination to win the game.

Everyone on the Mavericks team looked slightly stern!
Although they were prepared for a fierce battle and a defensive breakdown before the game, the scene that happened before them was still beyond their imagination.

"It's okay, we have one more!"

After receiving the serve, Kidd pointed his index finger to the sky and cheered for the other Mavericks players.

It's okay if you can't guard the Warriors, but you have to score on the offensive end and respond!

Kidd dribbled over and observed the Warriors defense.

The Warriors guard a help defense here.

After Kidd made a tactical gesture to signal his teammates to scatter, Yao came up to play a pick-and-roll with Kidd.

On the Warriors' side, O'Neal failed to defend and switched to Nowitzki near the penalty area. Instead, Stephen Jackson followed him.

Kidd did not choose to change his tactics, but instead broke in after a pick-and-roll.

On the Warriors' side, Stephen Jackson didn't delay at all, and Curry also chose to go behind the pick-and-roll.

Kidd hesitated for a moment and then suddenly stopped, shooting a three-pointer with a cold arrow.

Although he is ridiculed by many fans in China as "the base does not attack", Kidd is never afraid of taking shots. More importantly, he is really accurate in three-pointers this season.

For example, in the two rounds of playoffs that just ended, he averaged 5.5 three-pointers per game, hit 2.0, and hit 37.4%.

However, Kidd's shooting was indeed a bit slow, and Curry's flying dive after bypassing Dayao's high-quality screen still caused a certain degree of interference.

"boom!"

The basketball hit the frame and the Mavericks' first offense failed.

O'Neal protected the rebound and threw it to Iverson. The Warriors quickly counterattacked.

Due to his better positioning and timely response, Dayao finally retreated in place this time.

but……

The Warriors played very seriously tonight.

Iverson didn't force the ball and passed the ball to Su Bai. Su Bai changed his rhythm and left Marion behind, and then made a throw against Dayao's defense.

"Shh!"

A pleasant voice came.

Dayao turned around to pick up the ball with a look of helplessness on his face.

He really tried his best on this ball, but he really couldn't prevent it!

Over the past few years, Su Bai's offensive methods have become more and more difficult to defend against.

The scene cheered again.

The Mavericks may not be weak, but they still seem to be unable to defend against their offense!

Kidd was not in a hurry and continued to move steadily, and then signaled Dayao to pick and roll.

Only this time when the opportunity arose, Kidd did not choose to take a shot, but passed the ball to Nowitzki.

Nowitzki changed direction and broke through O'Neal, then faced Su Bai's defensive pass and passed it to the empty Marion.

"boom!"

As a result, Marion's mid-range shot missed.

Because Nowitzki and Dayao bear most of the team's offensive burden, Marion's offensive level has dropped a bit this season.

Especially shooting.

The Mavericks retreated quickly under Coach Carlisle's reminder, and this time they did not give the Warriors a chance to counterattack quickly.

However, when the Warriors let Su Bai take the lead in the position battle, the hearts of Coach Carlisle and the Mavericks fans in front of the TV were tight.

The Warriors want to stun them from the start tonight!
After Su Bai caught the ball, Stevenson immediately helped defend against the double-team.

However, Su Bai changed directions continuously and suddenly broke out from the double team between the two.

The Mavericks formation shrunk for a while.

One step inside the free throw line, Su Bai leaped high and passed the ball to the empty Iverson without looking at anyone.

"Shh!"

Iverson scored on an open half-shot.

0 is better than 6!

The Warriors took the lead and gave the Mavericks a kick!
