The strongest unicorn in basketball

Chapter 129 The Western Conference Finals Floor
After Durant made this murderous three-pointer, Kobe missed a three-pointer in the next round, so he could only choose to foul.

With Harden making two free throws, the Lakers never had a chance to tie the score.

At 103:100, the Thunder narrowly beat the Lakers by three points.

雷霆方面，杜兰特全场18投10中，拿下30分8篮板，威少得到23分5助攻，李普得到16分16篮板3盖帽，哈登得到12分6助攻。

In contrast to the Lakers, Kobe made 28 of 12 shots and 17 of 14 free throws. He scored a game-high 38 points, plus 8 rebounds and 5 assists.

Although the efficiency is very low, except for him, none of the other Lakers scored more than 15 points, and it is impossible not to let him shoot.

The Lakers fans who saw this scene were all silent, and a breath of despair permeated the entire Staples Arena.

The big score is 0:3. In the history of the NBA, there has never been a team that can pull four games in a row when it is 0:3 behind.

The road to the Lakers' three consecutive championships has come to an end.

They also thought that they would not be able to win the championship this season, but they believed that their team would regrettably lose in the tiebreaker against the Heat in the Finals, instead of being defeated by a team without even touching the floor of the Western Conference Finals. A young team sweeps.

All this came so suddenly that it was unacceptable.

After the game, everyone in the Thunder team had bright smiles on their faces, as if victory was just around the corner.

"Victory? Did I remember wrongly? We should only have won three games, right? How did we win?"

Facing the elated players, Brooks showed the attitude that a coach should have and poured cold water on the players.

I have to say that Brooks may have limited abilities in other respects, but Brooks is indeed a qualified coach when it comes to educating young players.

With Brooks' reminders, the mentality of this group of young players will not drift anywhere!
On May 5, the fourth game between the Thunder and the Lakers officially began.

The Lakers, who were fighting to the death, showed a death-defying mentality at the beginning of the game, and the Thunder almost reached the point where every ball must be contested.

Although the Thunder were caught off guard by the Lakers at the beginning, and fell behind by 8 points at most, the Thunder adjusted extremely quickly, and by the middle of the first quarter, they had already recovered the score.

At the end of the first quarter, the score was 23:27, and the Lakers trailed by 4 points.

After working so hard to lead to fall behind, it only took one quarter. Although the point difference is not big, it has a great blow to the morale of the team. The players can't help but wonder whether the strength of their team is really only These?

If the first quarter just hit the confidence of the Lakers players, then the second quarter simply rubbed their confidence on the ground.

The Thunder's substitutes, headed by Harden and Green, went crazy in this quarter. In less than half a quarter, the two actually threw 5 three-pointers, of which Harden alone made 4. indivual.

The people defending Harden, from Shannon Brown to Matt Barnes, to Kobe, no one can stop him from scoring.

In this way, when Li Pu appeared on the stage again, half of the second quarter had passed, and the point difference on the field had already widened to as much as 15 points.

The substitutes are so fierce, how can the starters fall behind?

So Westbrook, Durant, and Li Pu each turned into pile drivers, and they output to the Lakers' inside line.

It's a pity that Kobe of the Lakers struggled desperately, and at the end of the half, 63:39, only won the Lakers by 24 points.

It only beat the Lakers by 20 points in a single quarter.

This scene directly stunned the fans at the scene.

Although they imagined the scene of the team being swept away, they have never seen it swept away like this!
Life and death battle!Brother!Half time spent?
Are you worthy of our ticket money?

RNM, get your money back!
Not to mention, some Lakers fans really left the field after halftime.

When the second half of the game started, the arena was even half empty.

To be honest, Li Pu had never seen this scene before.

I have to feel that there are still a lot of rich people in a big city like Los Angeles, and you can leave at halftime for hundreds of dollars per ticket. This is in a small place like our Oklahoma City, and I dare not even think about it!
The Lakers fans who are suffering a lot in their hearts, the reason why there are so many Lakers fans left after halftime is mainly because there is still a thought in their hearts, that is, to see if there is any chance of a comeback in the second half?
Of course, they were also delusional!

With a difference of 24 points, do you really think Brooks is Rivers?
So after the start of the second half, the Lakers did narrow the point difference to less than 20 points, but with Durant and Harden each scoring a three-pointer, the point difference returned to more than 20 points.

After the entire third quarter, the point difference is still 24 points, and there is no movement at all!

Now some Lakers fans hermit crabs move again-the clams can't live anymore!
So they left angrily, and the auditorium in the entire arena was missing a large area!

As a result, after the start of the fourth quarter, the Thunder's substitutes began to play as the Lakers' substitutes.

At this time, the Thunder's substitutes are still Harden with Green, Collison, Lin Shuhao and Mohamed.

The Lakers have put on a full bench lineup at this time: Blake, Shannon Brown, Barnes, Odom and Joe Johnson.

So the point difference went up to 30 in the blink of an eye.

This time, another group of spectators left. It can only be said that those who are still watching the game until now are hardcore fans of the Lakers.

Seeing that if the fight continued, a tragedy would happen, Brooks quickly replaced Harden and Green.

In the end, the score was fixed at 86:122. The Thunder beat the Lakers by 36 points in an away game. With a total score of 4:0, they swept the defending champion Lakers and advanced to the Western Conference Finals.

Harden became the MVP of the game. He played 28 minutes, made 14 of 11 shots, 8 of 7 three-pointers, and scored a game-high 32 points.

You know, apart from him, no one from the Thunder or even the Lakers scored 20 points.

Since only the Thunder swept their opponents in the second round of the playoffs, they were the first to advance.

However, in the following days, several other teams that have advanced to the Eastern and Western finals have also been born.

First of all, the Heat and the Celtics are the most watched!

These two teams, both of which have the Big Three, thought it would be a game like sparks hitting the earth, but in the end, the Heat beat the Celtics 4:1 to advance.

As for the other series, the new MVP Rose led the Bulls to a 4:2 victory over the dark horse Eagles, successfully advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals, and joined forces with the Heat.

In another playoff game in the West, the Dallas Mavericks defeated the Grizzlies 4:2.

As a result, the Thunder's opponent in the Western Conference Finals has also been born, and that is the Mavericks, which are still underestimated!
