NBA Old Age Star System

Chapter 189 The Western Conference finals end, the finals start

If the NBA wants to survive, it must create hot spots and discussions.

If there are no hot events, there will be no news reports, and no one will pay attention to the NBA league. The globalization of Mr. Stern is even more impossible to talk about.

Originally, the NBA had the idea of ​​marching into the China region. It just so happened that Su Tian bumped into this muzzle.

So the official is also pushing the boat along the way, taking this opportunity to expand the market and attract more traffic.

Before Su Tian, ​​this person was Dayao. After Dayao retired, the officials turned their attention to Emperor Yi, but it was a pity that they failed.

Now suddenly there is a Su Tian, ​​not only has no statistics to speak of, but also has a good record, and his popularity in the United States is not low.

After all, it is also by James' side, so the traffic will naturally not be small.

Therefore, the last All-Star, taking a third team is completely justified.

It's just that the Raptors are suffering, with the second record in the Eastern Conference, but there is no All-Star starter or the best team.

However, the local sentiment in Toronto is not particularly contradictory. After all, in the Eastern Conference finals, everyone saw with their own eyes how Su Tian defended DeRozan.

Moreover, there are many Chinese fans in Toronto, and there are not a few who support Su Tian.

Therefore, although everyone is very sorry, this leads to no resentment.

The announcement of the best team list not only set off a wave of discussions in China, but also directly became a trending search in China.

"Shock!Huaguo players have become the top 15 in the world! "

"Su Tian Selected to the Best Team! ! "

"Who is Su Tian?"Chinese people turned into American stars! "

Netizens' discussions about Su Tian were also enthusiastic.

"I'm Su Shenniu!!!"

"Su Tian was selected at such a young age, couldn't it be manipulated by someone in order to win people's hearts?"

"Yes, yes, your father and I manipulated it. The conspiracy theories every day can't be hoped for, just one little blackie! The composition is complicated, and it is recommended to strictly investigate the three generations!"

There was so much dust and dust on the Internet, it was hard to tell who was cross-dressing for fun.

But no matter what, the list has been confirmed, and Su Tian's selection is an unchangeable result.

And Su Tian also took this opportunity to invite the players of the visiting team out to have fun. Although he spent some money, the relationship with the players has eased a lot, especially Irving.

Owen was the most upset about Su Tian's selection. If there were no Su Tian and injuries, Owen felt that this spot must be his own.

It's just that Su Tian has always respected himself, and at the same time he didn't grab his own possession of the ball when he was on the court. It was also difficult for Owen to find a suitable excuse to get angry.

This time, Su Tian treated guests, and Owen went with him despite his hospitality, which relieved a lot of grievances in his heart.

The matter of the best team is over, and the game is still going on.

On May 5th, Game 30 of the Western Conference Finals!
The Thunder maintained the original starting lineup unchanged, while the Warriors put Iguodala in the starting lineup and put Barnes on the bench.

Putting Iguodala on the starting lineup is also mainly to match Durant.

Soon, the game started, the two sides jumped the ball, and Adams grabbed the initiative.

Westbrook received the ball and began to advance with the ball.

The first ball in the opening game was naturally extremely cautious, and Westbrook passed the ball directly to Durant.

Facing Iguodala's defense, Durant broke into the penalty area after a double disguise, attracting Clay's double-team.

After Durant attracted the double-team, he passed the ball directly to Robertson who was emptied, and Robertson caught the ball and made a three-pointer.

boom--

The basketball hit the rim and jumped high, and the rebound was grabbed by Green.

Green took the rebound, started a fast break with the ball, and the Thunder retreated quickly.

Green held the ball all the way to the three-point line in the frontcourt, was forced to stop by Durant, and passed the ball directly to Curry who followed him.

Curry catches the ball and shoots a three-pointer directly.

Swah——

Curry made a direct three-pointer.

0-3
The opening advantage was taken by the Warriors.

I thought that the Warriors would continue the state of the previous game and directly destroy the Thunder, but Durant used one mid-range shot after another to overtake the Warriors abruptly.

At the end of the first quarter, the Thunder 24-19, leading the Warriors by 5 points.

The Warriors didn't feel as good at the start as expected.

In the second quarter, the Warriors took Barnes and directly opened the five small lineups, wanting to take the lead in one fell swoop.

The Thunder also chose to fight the Warriors to the end, Westbrook and Durant continued to play.

The first ball was given to the Warriors, and Curry caught the ball in the backcourt and advanced with the ball.

After coming to the frontcourt, Curry directly gave the ball to Green at the top of the arc, Green stood still with the ball, and the top of the arc dealt tactics started.

After the Warriors made consecutive runs and screens, Green passed the ball to Curry who ran out of opportunities.

Curry catches the ball and makes a three-pointer
Swah——

Three-pointer hit directly, 24-22
But looking back, Durant responded with a three-pointer.

27-22
After several consecutive rounds, the point difference has not changed much, so Cole called a timeout.

After returning from the timeout, the Warriors' lineup changed, and Livingston and Ezeri were replaced. Obviously, Cole wanted to preserve his strength and stay in the third quarter to exert his strength.

So in the second quarter, the two sides fought regardless of the outcome, and the Thunder kept their lead.

The score came to 48-42, and the Thunder temporarily led the Warriors by 6 points.

In the third quarter, Cole finally stopped hiding and directly took the five small lineups, wanting to meet the Thunder bayonet.

Seeing this, Donovan also sent the main lineup to face off.

The first ball was given to the Warriors, Curry came to the frontcourt with the ball, Clay made a move, and Curry passed the ball in time.

Clay caught the ball and made a three-pointer.

boom--

Robertson followed closely, and Klay made a shot.

The rebound was taken by Westbrook, turned around and started a counterattack directly, and rushed to the frontcourt.

Curry hurriedly followed Westbrook and interfered with Westbrook.

After fighting all the way to the penalty area, Westbrook passed the ball to Adams who followed behind.

Adams catches the ball and makes a shot. The foolproof shot was interfered by Green's help defense who came from behind and missed the shot.

Green turned around and took the rebound, and started the counterattack again.

The two teams counterattacked twice in a row, messing up the formations of both sides. Before the Thunder could react, Green directly rushed to the basket with the ball and made a layup.

48-44
Although Green is not good at offense, it is okay to steal chickens occasionally.

The ball was converted to the Thunder, and Westbrook advanced with the ball.

After coming to the frontcourt, call Adams for a pick-and-roll, and use the pick-and-roll to start a breakthrough, and Adams also followed suit.

Green knew that only relying on Curry would definitely not be able to guard Westbrook who was rushing up, so he let Adams go to chase and defend Westbrook.

Seeing that Green was attracted to the defense, Westbrook passed back to Adams who was keeping up with him. Adams was not interfered by Green's shot this time, and made a short-range shot.

50-44
But in the next two rounds, the Warriors Splash began to exert strength one after another.

First, Curry used the screen to catch the ball and hit a three-pointer, and then Clay counterattacked and hit a three-pointer.

Durant had just hit a mid-range shot to stabilize the situation, and Iguodala stepped up and hit another three-pointer.

The Warriors' five small lineups began to play their own explosive offensive output. On the Thunder's side, Westbrook occupied too much possession of the ball. Durant was strictly guarded by the Warriors and did not get too many shots.

In the third quarter, the Warriors played in a single quarter, with a 29-12 offensive shock wave, and the score came to 60-71. The Warriors not only overtook the score, but also directly led the Thunder by 11 points.

The Warriors showed huge offensive firepower in the third quarter, which made the Thunder stunned for a while.

In the fourth quarter, Cole replaced Curry to rest temporarily, and Klay Thompson led the team on the field.

On the Thunder's side, Donovan dared not replace Durant and Westbrook when they were leading, let alone when they were behind.

So Durant and Westbrook continued to appear.

The first ball was given to the Thunder in the opening game. Westbrook directly broke through and gave the ball to Durant. Durant caught the ball and shot.

Swah——

62-71
As soon as they come up, the Wang Zhan combination will connect, and it depends on whether the Warriors can withstand this wave of shock.

The possession of the ball was changed, Livingston advanced with the ball, and after a tactical run, passed the ball to Clay.

Clay catches the ball and shoots a three-pointer directly.

boom--

Clay missed a three-pointer.

The rebound was taken by Westbrook, and he turned around and started a fast break, but Westbrook obviously overplayed the ball, so he directly pulled out a three-pointer, and it was no surprise that the basketball hit the iron.

The rebound was taken by Livingston, and a long pass was made directly to Clay, who caught the ball and scored a layup.

62-73
Turning his head, Waiters made a catch and shot.

64-73
The next few rounds began to hit iron continuously, and the point difference has not changed much.

After half a quarter, with Durant's three-pointer, the score came to 75-80, and the point difference was chased to 5 points.

The Warriors began to make substitutions and adjustments, took all the main players, and put out five small lineups.

As soon as the five players came out, Lei Ting, who was still chasing points, was knocked down by the Warriors with a sap.

First, Green made a steal and scored a layup, then Clay hit a three-pointer, and then Iguodala passed the ball to assist Green to hit a three-pointer.

After a while of chasing and fighting, the point difference came to 11 points again. At this time, there were only 3 minutes left before the end of the game. Seeing that the team's efforts throughout the season were coming to naught, Westbrook started to charge with the ball.

Across Curry's defense, Westbrook forced a layup, 79-88, with a 9-point difference.

The possession of the ball was changed, and it was the Warriors' turn to attack. At this time, the Warriors were not in a hurry, and Curry slowly advanced with the ball.

After coming to the front court, he passed the ball directly to Green who was at the top of the arc. After Green observed for a while, he passed the ball to Barnes in the bottom corner.

Barnes didn't dare to take the ball directly, and attracted the Thunder's help defense. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Curry turned his head and made an air cut to shake off Westbrook, and Barnes passed the ball directly to Curry.

Curry caught the ball and scored directly.

79-90
Donovan raised his hand to call a timeout. At this time, there were only more than 2 minutes left in the game, and the Thunder still trailed by 11 points, so they could only gamble on the outside touch.

After returning from the timeout, Durant received a pass from Westbrook and made a three-pointer. Although Iguodala's defense is in place, his height is really not enough.

Swah——

Durant made a direct three-pointer.

82-90
Donovan swung his fist excitedly, betting right.

Immediately afterwards, the Warriors missed a shot. Durant grabbed the rebound and quickly advanced with the ball, but was blocked by Green. Durant took advantage of the situation and threw himself, causing Green to foul.

Green jumped up and down when he saw that he was called a foul. This was Green's fifth foul on the field, and he graduated and left the field directly after another one.

No matter how Green explained to the referee, Durant was already on the free throw line and made two free throws.

84-90
The possession of the ball was changed, and Curry served from the bottom line, but he didn't cooperate well with the players, and the pass went out of bounds.

So the ball was given to the Thunder again, Adams served from the sideline, and it was directly and accurately given to Durant.

Durant broke through directly after receiving the ball, came to the basket, relied on his height advantage to overpower Iguodala, and scored with a hook.

86-90
Seeing that Durant wanted to take away the Warriors in one wave, Cole raised his hand in time and called a timeout to take the opportunity to ease.

Time is running out, only 1 minute and 20 seconds left, and there are still 4 points left.

As long as the Warriors don't make mistakes and Durant doesn't cheat, the Warriors still have a great chance to win the game.

Soon, the timeout ends and the game continues.

After Curry received the ball, he held the ball steadily and pushed forward. Westbrook stepped forward to apply pressure.

Curry, who broke into the inside line, attracted the Thunder's help defense double-team, so he passed the ball directly to the bottom corner Klay who came out of the running position.

Clay catches the ball and shoots a three-pointer directly.

Swah——

Clay made a direct three-pointer!

At the critical moment, it is still Splash Connection!
86-93
The Warriors hit the ball, which made the Thunder panic. Durant became impatient, but his shooting percentage began to decline.

In the end, the Thunder failed to hit a desperate three-pointer, and the Warriors won the Thunder 96-88!

In the Western Conference Finals, the Warriors fell behind 3-1 at the start, then made a strong comeback and beat the Thunder 4-3!

The moment the game ended, Durant felt that it was time to do something.

"Kevin, let's go, it's okay, we'll come back next year!" Westbrook walked to Durant's side and patted Durant on the back.

Durant didn't respond, but glanced at Westbrook lightly, turned and walked towards the player tunnel.

After the game, Durant was in a daze with this data report. It was true that Russell worked hard, but this effort was still too far away from the championship.

Su Tian also watched the entire game in Cleveland, seeing Durant's dazed eyes, Su Tian secretly thought something was wrong.

Durant already has some thoughts about leaving at this time, but he has not yet determined where his next home will be.

If Durant really goes to the Warriors next season as in his previous life, then this will be the Cavaliers' biggest opponent.

Su Tian shook his head and stopped thinking about these things.

The next season is left to the next season to think about. Let's get this year's champion first, and I don't know what kind of purple badge this year can get.

On June 6, the Cleveland Cavaliers visited Oracle Arena.

The first game of the finals, get ready.
