The strongest unicorn in basketball

Chapter 187 The Fall of a Genius
"Duang!"

"rebound!"

The crisp sound of a basketball hitting an iron is like a whistle.

Hearing the sound, Li Pu jumped up high, and received the priceless offensive rebound from the heads of a group of people.

After landing, before Li Pu straightened up, he was surrounded by Marion and Nowitzki who came quickly.

Li Pu didn't get greedy and chose to force a layup, but lifted the basketball well, looked around, and looked for better opportunities.

Soon, he saw Harden who was vacated outside the three-point line.

Although Li Pu couldn't pass the ball well, he couldn't stand tall and had good vision, so with a flick of his raised wrist, the basketball was assigned to Harden on the outside.

Tonight's Harden is not as stretched as he was in the third game. He scored a team-high 15 points on 10 of 26 shots in this game.

After receiving Li Pu's pass, Harden first feinted and passed Terry who flew over to defend, and then directly chose a three-pointer with a dribble!
"Shh!"

Changhong runs through the sun and falls straight to the center of the net!
Basketball hollow into the net!

This is Harden's third three-pointer tonight, and his three-pointer percentage is as high as 75%.

With this three-pointer, the Thunder finally sealed the victory.

At this time, the score was 101:94, and there was less than 1 minute left. It seemed that there was still a chance, but in fact it was already very small. It was impossible for the Thunder to allow McGrady to stage it again!

The fourth game of the series, on the evening of May 5th, will continue to be held at the American Airlines Center Stadium in Dallas.

In this game, the Mavericks showed their blood.

After a stalemate with the Thunder for the entire first half, after the two sides tied, they finally ushered in an explosion in the third quarter.

In this quarter, their shooters seemed to have eaten dumplings collectively. The three-point rain continued, and they beat the Thunder 34:21 in a single quarter, leading the Thunder by as much as 13 points.

However, after entering the final quarter, Harden's sudden outburst made the Mavericks unexpected.

And with Harden's excellent performance, coupled with the joint efforts of other players of the Thunder team, they beat the Mavericks 35:16 in the final quarter.

In the end, as Terry missed a three-pointer, the Mavericks stopped fouling, and Westbrook stopped attacking the basket after bringing the ball to the frontcourt, but quietly waited for the time to run out.

As the referee blew the whistle that symbolized the end of the game, the Thunder narrowly beat the Mavericks away at 103:97.

And with this victory, the Thunder also successfully won this round of the series with a big score of 4:0, swept the Mavericks, and avenged their loss in the Western Conference Finals last year!
After the game, the players of the Thunder just gave each other high fives and did not show much excitement.

After all, the strength of the two teams is very different. Long before the start of the game, the Thunder players already knew that they would definitely win.

What's more, this is only the first round of the playoffs, and it's not yet time for them to celebrate.

When Lip shook hands after the game, he hugged Nowitzki and said, "When will you go back to Germany during the offseason?"

"It should be in July!" Nowitzki thought for a while.

"Then after I win the championship, I will learn from you!"

"Hahaha, no problem, but the premise is that you have to win the championship!"

"Of course, if I don't win the championship, I should be a truck driver, and I don't need to learn from you!"

Looking at the energetic young man in front of him, Nowitzki suddenly felt that he was really old!

Last year, I was able to teach these brats a lesson, but in just one year, they have grown into one of the strongest teams in the league, not even one!

But even so, they still did not stop moving forward.

After winning the championship, you still have to continue to improve. This kind of competitive spirit is rare no matter what era!
Nowitzki suddenly thought that if these young talents are allowed to be on one team, perhaps they will dominate the entire league in the next few years!
In any case, the Thunder team finally successfully advanced to the next round, but their next opponent made them wait for a long time before appearing.

Except for the Thunder who swept their opponents in the entire league, only the Spurs also swept the Jazz. The other teams played more or less anxiously.

Especially the other two series in the West.

With the Lakers leading 3:1 in the series, they were pulled by the Nuggets in two consecutive games and dragged into the tiebreaker.

Then in Game [-], the Lakers relied on five players to score in double figures, and finally defeated the Nuggets with difficulty.

Compared with the Lakers, his Los Angeles brothers, the Clippers are not so lucky.

In the same situation with a 3:1 lead, the Grizzlies were chased by the Grizzlies for three consecutive rounds, and they reversed the Clippers!
This is simply too unscientific, the essence of humanity being reversed, Rivers, hasn't come to the Clippers yet!

Li Pu's jaw almost dropped when he saw this scene.

How is this different from the original time and space?

In the original time and space, after the two teams went through a tie-break, the Clippers eliminated the Grizzlies.

But now, in the tiebreaker, Randolph did not pull his hips like the original time and space. He made 12 of 8 shots and scored 19 points with Gasol Jr. and Rudy Gay each, helping the Grizzlies to win the game. 92:82 win over the Clippers.

In fact, the strengths of these two teams are very close, and it is normal for one to win and the other to lose. However, this situation of history being changed made Li Pu feel a kind of fear of the unknown.

Thus, the Thunder's opponent in the next round appeared like this.

Last year's Black Eight Spurs, this year's 1:3 reversal of the Clippers, this Grizzlies should not be underestimated.

For a long time, although the strength of the Grizzlies is strong, there has been no traffic.

After all, the team is in Memphis, there are no superstars, and the style of play is not gorgeous enough, so they rely on the overall and defense to grind against the opponent bit by bit.

Such a low-key and introverted team is easily overlooked by fans, but only those who have played against them know how good they are.

But for the Thunder, no matter who the opponent is, they are not afraid, because they are the best team!

Compared with the strong teams in the west, the east has a huge upset, and another black eight miracle has appeared.

Rose suffered a torn ACL in the fourth quarter of the first game of the series and was reimbursed for the playoffs.

After six bloody battles with the 76ers, the Bulls finally lost to the 76ers and were unfortunately out.

For a while, Bulls fans felt that the sky was falling, but what they didn't know was that this was just the beginning.

The youngest MVP winner in history will fall from the altar from now on. No one knows what the peak rose looks like after it blooms?
Who would have thought that before the start of the playoffs, East Ross Silent's star pattern of tomorrow would collapse like this.

Except for the Bulls' upset, several other Eastern Conference teams have successfully defeated their opponents.

热火4:1绅士横扫了尼克斯，凯尔特人4:2艰难战胜了老鹰，年轻的步行者4:1淘汰了魔术。

So the list of matches for the second round of the playoffs has been completely released: West: Thunder vs. Grizzlies, Spurs vs. Lakers; Eastern 76ers vs. Celtics, Heat vs. Pacers.
