Basketball: starting from the nerve knife

Chapter 246

Chapter 246: The Grand Final Begins

With Kevin Durant and Westbrook taking turns, the Thunder’s lead was 15 points by the end of the first half.

Popovich is completely unsettled.

There is no light wind in the previous games, and the guys who caught the Spurs are a fierce scolding.

But right now…

The momentum of the Thunder, the Spurs could not suppress at all.

Not only can it not be suppressed, but it has even appeared that it cannot keep up.

In the second half, the fitness of the entire Spurs team declined, and the Thunder frequently played a “scoring tide”, if not for Tim Duncan praying to the gods, the “stone Buddha” of 03 responded to him, cutting 10 points in a single quarter and contributing 2 blocks, I am afraid that the game has become “garbage time”.

But……

“Stone Buddha” can hold one time, but can’t hold two quarters, and in the fourth quarter, as the Thunder continue to show their endless youthful vitality, the Spurs who no one can continue to stand up finally can’t hold back and collapse.

121 to 100.

Back at home, the Thunder beat the Spurs by 21 points, changing the series’ big score to a 3-3 draw.

Grab seven!

The Thunder team was interviewed after the game, and their eyes were full of excitement.

Popovich finally did not dare to “provoke” Westbrook after the game, and this game “Westbrook” scored another 26 points, if he continues to “add fuel to the fire”, the devil knows what kind of performance this guy will play in the seventh game.

It’s just that the momentum of the Thunder team at the moment is no longer something that he can alleviate by “closing the microphone” at the moment. Game 7 of the series, the Thunder in San Antonio is once again full of momentum.

What to say…

This is where their dreams begin!

After all, according to the rhythm of the first four games of the series, they should be sent home by the Spurs to fish in the fifth game.

But before the start of this game, they discovered the power of youth and set off a “Jedi Counterattack War” that made the outside world look at it!

At this moment, the eyes of the world are focused on this round of the Western Conference Finals, and everyone is waiting for the Thunder to complete this magnificent “counterattack”.

Before the start of the game, Brooks didn’t say much, as always, just said lightly: “Go, go and finish this great thing!” ”

When he said this, he felt that his toes were picking the ground, which was too embarrassing.

But the Thunder team is the same as playing chicken blood, and he looks excited and can’t wait for the game to start immediately…

Sure enough, youth is the second middle school!

With the blessing of “chicken soup buff”, the Thunder are more unstoppable, the Spurs have shown all their resilience in this game, but as the game enters the fourth quarter, their physical strength gradually dried up, and gradually they could not keep up with the offensive momentum on the opposite side, the score gap widened more and more, and with 30 seconds left in the final quarter, the Thunder successfully established a double-digit point difference.

With Ginobili missing a strong shot and Ibaka taking the rebound, the Spurs gave up the struggle and stopped playing…

Tim Duncan’s sweaty face appeared a little dejected, last season was “black eight”, this season in the Western Conference finals 3-1 lead, was knocked out by the opponent three consecutive games, even the mentality of the “stone Buddha” is as stable as an old dog, can not help but be a little frustrated.

What’s more…

In the last three games of the series, he really felt the momentum of the latecomers, which made him realize that maybe he was really old…

He walked up to Kevin Durant, who was still stunned, and patted the latter on the shoulder: “The future is yours!” ”

Five years ago, he said the same thing to another “chosen son”, but at that time he wanted to say the next sentence: But this time it belongs to us.

Today, in the face of Kevin Durant, he sent this sentence from the bottom of his heart.

Kevin Durant, Westbrook, James Harden and Ibaka…

From this Thunder team, what he saw was the Spurs of that year, of course, they were more talented than the Spurs of that year, if this lineup can be maintained forever, he wants to win another championship, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve.

Kevin Durant nodded stunned, and when Tim Duncan turned away, he reacted from his stunnedness, they won, they eliminated the Spurs, from 1-3 to 4-3, they really…

Did it!

“We did it! ”

“Did it! ”

“We did it! ”

……

Spurs home AT&A amp; T Center Arena is staging a scene of “sorrow and joy between people do not communicate with each other”.

The lonely Spurs players and the fans in the audience were in stark contrast to the Thunder crowd who were bouncing around in the center of the stadium.

Brooks twisted the buttons on his clothes, walked to the referee’s table, and shook Popovich’s hand.

As the head coach who has been in this league for so many years, Popovich showed his grace, congratulated Brooks with a smile, and joked: “If the Thunder wins the championship, can I also participate in your celebration banquet!” ”

Brooks laughed along too, but…

Seriously, Popovich wasn’t wrong either.

The Thunder’s next three games can be regarded as truly finding their own way of playing:

It seems that they can use their full abilities more than to follow the rules and run according to the rules, and let them squander their talents. Brooks is not the first to do so, Kevin Durant’s college head coach gave Kevin Durant “unlimited firepower.” Although Kevin Durant’s Long Horns team failed to make it to “March Madness” in the end, Kevin Durant did hand over a satisfactory answer.

Called “the strongest offensive machine since Michael Jordan”!

Brooks has been the head coach of the Thunder for almost three years, and the biggest change he made to Kevin Durant was putting him in the No. 3 position.

But it wasn’t until this series that he found out: the end of the universe is the formation, the end of the compilation is the security, and the best tactic to play Kevin Durant is “no tactic”!

In the same way, Westbrook also does not need any tactical restrictions, give him the ball, let him play according to his own wishes…

Such a big “merit”, can the celebration banquet not shout Popovich?

After the game, the “Thunder Four” divided all the traffic, and all the reporters who were present were basically by their side.

Prior to tonight, only nine teams in NBA history had managed to complete a comeback and eventually advance after falling 3-1 down.

The most recent one happened six years ago.

The Suns trailed 3-1 to knock out Bryant’s Lakers.

However, since the Suns themselves have a higher regular season ranking than the Lakers, this reversal is not glorious. And Bryant didn’t think about opponents in the next round.

The Thunder are the 10th team in NBA history to do so.

It is worth mentioning that there are many teams that repeat the list in this list, but the only team on the list as an “old unlucky egg” is the Spurs.

Of course, the last time they were reversed with a 3-1 lead was back in the distant years of ’79.

Now the outside world’s impression of the Spurs is two words:

Robust.

So much so that domestic fans saw that the Spurs were really reversed and eliminated by the Thunder with a big 3-1 lead, and couldn’t help but type three words:

Ye Qingjie!

However, some people replied to these comments:

What kind of “grandfather green knot” is this, it was just “black eight” last season, and it is going to be knotted early. In my opinion, the real “Ye Qing Knot” has to be Hu Ge announcing that he is a father, that is the real “Ye Qing Knot”…

Early the next morning, fans around the world knew about the Thunder’s success in “grabbing seven” and the big comeback eliminated the Spurs. The number of fans of the Thunder Team has skyrocketed.

ESPN used the title “Grab the Class” to warm up for the finals.

The Thunder won one of the remaining spots in the Finals and successfully met the New York Knicks in the Finals.

As the representative of the league’s youth army, the core of this team is Kevin Durant in the 07th class, Westbrook and Ibaka in the 08th class, and James Harden in the 09th class…

A true new force!

The New York Knicks side is also recognized as Li Wan’s “single-core leader”.

In addition, the New York Knicks eliminated the “03 generation of heroes” Heat; The Thunder eliminated the Clippers with Cameron Anthony in the semifinals…

Li Wan and Kevin Durant packed the “03 Golden Generation” collectively and sent them home!

This scene is like the wheel of the alliance updating rolling again!

The “Pan-96 generation” has not completely ended, the 03 generation has not opened their own era, but the newcomers of the 07th generation can’t wait to make a big fuss…

Moreover, they did it, and this year’s finals are the stage for the new generation!

Of course, compared to Li Wan’s “old bird”, Kevin Durant is not even a “little chicken cub”, he is completely a “little chicken cub” who has just broken out of his shell and has not opened his eyes.

However, it is the Thunder team led by this “little chicken cub” that is more optimistic about the outside world at the moment.

The momentum the Thunder showed in the last three games of the Western Conference Finals was, in their opinion, enough to crush all the teams in the league.

Even if Li Wan’s New York Knicks lost only one game in the three-round series before the Finals, they still believe that the New York Knicks can’t do the transformed Thunder.

Of course, the fact that Artest will miss two games is also the reason why the New York Knicks are not favored.

Kevin Durant was very excited to see that he was so “popular with the people”, but the good mood only lasted until he secretly watched Scarlett’s Twitter.

When he saw Scarlett’s netizens who were angry and not optimistic about Li Wan, he suddenly felt that this “people’s will” should not be left alone.

If he could, he was willing to exchange the support of so many people for Scarlett’s support…

“Avengers 1” has been released, and having seen “Black Widow” on the big screen, Kevin Durant is even hungrier.

He really wanted to tweet and express his liking for Scarlett, but he couldn’t think of how to clearly express his fanatical love for the time being!

Perhaps it was this resentment that made him unable to control his deep-seated hostility when he was interviewed in the afternoon.

When asked “I met Li Wan in the first Finals trip of my career, what do I want to say”, Kevin Durant said bluntly: “I think this series will let everyone know who is the best player in the class of 07!” ”

As soon as these words came out, I almost didn’t make the reporter who interviewed the news bad…

As he reported this interview, the smell of gunsmoke of the finals “scratched” up!

The Oklahoma media naturally supported Kevin Durant’s remarks, and all kinds of cheers.

When Li Wan was interviewed, he was also asked by reporters what he thought of Durant’s remarks, and he added: “Li, who do you think is the best player in the class of 07, Ling or Kevin?” ”

Li Wan was not surprised, and even prepared, after the reporter’s question, he unhurriedly took out a championship ring from his trouser pocket and put it on his hand: “What do you say?” ”

At the same time as asking, he took out another championship ring, continued to pull it into his finger, and asked again:

“Excuse me, what question did you just ask? ”

Under the illumination of the magnesium lamp, the ring face was golden, dazzling, and there were some “prickly mouths”, and the reporter who asked the question did not repeat his question, this question …

There is already an answer!

Li Wan’s video quickly went viral on the Internet.

Kevin Durant received tons of crit.

That night, the bombardment of Twitter’s private messages kept him awake all night and fought until dawn.

Although his head was a little muddy, he kept repeating a sentence in his heart:

“It’s this year! ”

This is the sentence he replied to the most in the long night just past, the keyboard is about to smoke, every reply makes him more determined, this final, he must win!

On June 6th, the opening game of the 2011~2012 season finals was officially launched.

The first game of the Finals was the home of the Knicks, Madison Square Garden.

When interviewed before the game, the reporters found that the Knicks guys were very aggressive and seemed to be holding a fire.

They thought that Kevin Durant’s remarks offended Li Wan, which made Li Wan’s good brothers very unhappy!

Seashell……

It’s Li Wan’s popularity!

But that’s really just one aspect.

On the other hand, it’s a long story…

After the New York Knicks eliminated the Heat 4-0, the Spurs and Thunder had just played four games, but the 3-1 score made D’Antoni think that the Spurs were about to advance, so he did not arrange for the team to rest.

Outcome……

The Thunder rewrote the big score to 2-3!

D’Antonis, who had made the wrong prediction, felt that the Spurs would definitely win this time, so he still did not arrange for the team to rest.

But as a result, the Spurs lost again.

But at this time, the big score has come to a 3-3 draw, no matter what, after playing this game, the victory and defeat will come out, in order to maintain the state, to cope with the Spurs or Thunder who have been playing for the past few days, D’Antoni not only did not arrange a rest, but also increased the intensity of training!

This kind of looking forward for a long time, looking forward to the blue thinness of “work aggravation”, like the author every time crying and shouting, brothers come to order monthly tickets, immediately 5,000 votes, as a result, the brothers have been saying “next time must be”, and even turned around and tore up the tickets…

You say, can the New York Knicks gang not hold their breath and want to prove themselves?

It’s as if the author hears “next time” back, and will secretly say in his heart: When I get more than 156 thousand a day, don’t you obediently hand over the ticket?

The entire Thunder team also quickly felt this anger.

At the home player entrance ceremony, every New York player who walked out of the home player tunnel would subconsciously turn his head to look at the Thunder bench and glared fiercely:

You bunny cubs are waiting for me!

However, to say that the fire is great, the guys of the Thunder team are also very angry at the moment.

As first-time finalist “rookies”, New York fans let them see what is called “Finals-spec away atmosphere” as soon as they entered early:

“Kevin Durant, you can’t even compare to a single hair of Li Wan! ”

“Westbrook, have you been vaccinated against rabies? You’re going to be bitten again tonight! ”

“Let’s go get the regular season MVP first, and then challenge Li Wan, you’re still far behind, Kevin! ”

……

All kinds of trash talk that hit the heart made the Thunder gang treat the basket as a New York fan when warming up, and smash it “bang”.

As early as 20 minutes ago, they were already waiting for the game to start.

“King of New York! ”

When Li Wan appeared, everyone in the audience stood up at the first time, and the huge cheers turned into a unified slogan.

Domestic fans listened to the cheers at the scene, and their hearts couldn’t help but gush with excitement and pride, and at this moment, they were honored.

Including some “Li Hei”, they also have to admit that in conquering New York fans, Li Wan is like Qingyang shampoo, invulnerable.

Barkley looked at Li Wan, who countless New York fans looked up to, and his eyes gradually became a little more incredible, this kid…

Amazing indeed!

He suddenly thought of Kevin Durant.

Challenge Li Wan…

This young man not only has an outstanding temperament, but also has enough courage!

After all, the current 07 players shouting to challenge Li Wan is similar in nature to the stars of the 90s shouting to challenge Michael Jordan.

It really takes enough guts.

Barkley admires Kevin Durant.

Thinking back to Kevin Durant’s growth with the Thunder over the years, he feels that this guy is underestimated.

You know, the same small city was born, also led the team to the Finals, LeBron James was handpicked by David Stern as the next league façade, and Kevin Durant is now only a “scoring king” title…

The difference is eye-catching!

Kevin Durant deserves a higher review…

The courtside director switched to Kevin Durant at this time, and the guy was picking his nose and didn’t notice the perspective TNT’s camera gave him.

This Barkley is even more impressed, not who …

Can have such an outstanding temperament!

The big screen at the scene gave the sidelines the audience at this time. Strange screams rang out one after another.

In the picture…

First Taylor Swift, then Scarlett, and finally Jennifer Lawrence…

One by one, the hot actresses flashed from the picture, which shows how bright the stars are on the sidelines of this finals.

Especially when the camera was given to Scarlett, the strange screams in the audience continued for a long time.

After the release of “Avengers 1”, the era belonging to Scarlett has officially arrived, and the role of “Black Widow” will make her the world’s most gold-attracting female star in the future.

This was also a period of time when her popularity skyrocketed.

It was also too popular, she didn’t enter the stadium until the entrance ceremony of the home team players just began, but she didn’t expect to be found as soon as she sat down…

Kevin Durant, who is picking his nostrils, was stunned, and then a steady stream of fighting intent emerged, this opener, he must win!

The game time came quickly, and the live big screen gave the starting list on both sides:

“New York Knicks: No. 1 Beverley, No. 2 Ray Allen, No. 3 Lewan, No. 4 Lewis, No. 5 Tyson Chandler!

Thunder: No. 1 Westbrook, No. 2 Severosa, No. 3 Kevin Durant, No. 4 Ibaka, No. 5 Perkins; ”

Before Li Wan came on the court, he deliberately made a detour and high-fived Taylor Swift before walking towards the court, and the live DJ quickly cut the song and sent the climax of “Black Cat” for 10 seconds.

Taylor jumped excitedly twice and sat down again.

This is the 5th year of her relationship with Li Wan, before this, she rarely did these little women’s movements when she was tall, but now she has stood next to Li Wan at 2.04 meters for a long time, and the liveliness in her heart that belongs to a little woman is gradually no longer hidden.

The whole person looked a little more lively.

Li Wan, make Taylor more feminine…

When no one on these sides spread dog food, Kevin Durant looked at Scarlett for the first time, looking at her eyes, “Little Handsome” was very distressed, and almost couldn’t help but rush up immediately and said:

Give birth, I will raise the child!

“Man, come on, look good on you! ”

Someone in the audience next to him was also interacting with Ray Allen, and Li Wan turned his head to look at it and found that it was actually “Wolf King” Kevin Garnett.

This guy has a lot to do with Ray Allen…

Isn’t it a mess?

How do you look at it, it’s better than when you were with the Celtics?

Li Wan knew that Kevin Garnett had said soft words in front of the media before, but in terms of that intersection, it should not be enough for Kevin Garnett to run to the scene to watch the game, right?

What he didn’t know was that after that time, Kevin Garnett texted Ray Allen twice.

The misunderstanding between the two people was gradually eliminated.

Or rather, there was no big conflict between the two of them, and when the Kevin Garnett jersey was retired, Ray Allen was also sitting in the chair next to him, and the “Wolf King” even said emotionally: “It’s you next, Ray!” ”

Therefore, even if he didn’t know what else happened in the middle, Li Wan was not surprised by these two people and goodness, but he didn’t expect that this time he got better so quickly!

Think about it, when the league announced that Li Wan won the regular season MVP back-to-back, Kevin Garnett also interacted with Li Wan on Twitter, forwarding a photo of Li Wan and the regular season MVP, with the text:

Deserved!

Come to the scene at the moment to cheer…

Li Wan suddenly heard an abacus sound.

“Toot! ”

The beeping sounded, and the players on both sides also stood in the center of the stadium, and the cheers of the scene reached their climax at this moment.

Kevin Durant looked at Li Wan standing opposite, listening to these cheers for Li Wan, and the desire to fight in his expression was even higher.

Although it is the first time to play the Finals, Kevin Durant at this moment does not have any nervousness at all, but instead continues to gush out one motivation after another, making him eager to play well.

From the “Best Rookie” battle in ’07, to the “scoring title” battle in ’11 and ’12, and Scarlett…

This account accumulated by repeated defeats…

Li Wan, it’s time to liquidate!

“Toot! ”

Another whistle blew and the referee threw the ball in his hand.

Tyson Chandler confronted Ibaka and managed to steal the first attack for the New York Knicks.

The scene resounded again, the ball went to the front, and Li Wan ran out from the flank and took the ball in his hand.

Kevin Durant defended the first time he got the ball.

In fact, at the beginning, Brooks arranged for Severosa to defend Li Wan, but after the New York Knicks gave the starting list, looking at Li Wan’s position in this game, Kevin Durant took the initiative to apply to Brooks: “I’ll defend that guy!” ”

He felt that Li Wan, who had always played the No. 1 position, was provoking him by suddenly changing to the No. 3 position in this game!

In the face of Li Wan’s provocation…

How could he not take it?

You know, this is something that even LeBron James can’t do!

Sure enough, in Li Wan’s heart, he Kevin Durant is also a fierce rival that cannot be ignored!

Well……

Then come and have a 1v1 battle for men!

Who instigates whose grandchildren!

Kevin Durant was looking forward to a “I’ll give you an ashtray, you give me two bottles” man battle with Li Wan, but Li Wan leaned on Kevin Durant and waited for Ray Allen to go around the top of the arc and quickly get the ball to his hand.

Severosa’s defensive enthusiasm is vividly reflected in this moment, it is clear that when Ray Allen receives the ball, he still has two steps away, but after Ray Allen gets the ball, Severosa’s whole person has been attached to the front, and Ray Allen has no room to shoot at all…

However, it was also too tight, and Ray Allen, who quickly raised his hand to make a shooting feint, successfully completed the breakthrough from next to Sefrosa, who raised his arm.

Quickly rushed to the basket, faced Ibaka’s defense, and hit the ball into the bottom corner.

Ray Allen’s breakaway score…

The ball startled Brooks.

Is this Ray Allen?

Isn’t this the “skinny version” of Li Wan?

Lewis took a step forward and caught the ball.

Ray Allen’s cold breakthrough is a remnant of muscle memory from ancient times. Breaking through the ball is an experience as a veteran, but his passing ability is really not good…

Fortunately, Lewis had enough memory of Ray Allen’s pass to make the adaptive catch successful.

Then “Mr. Billion” showed his ability to adjust his shooting ability as a top shooter, and hit a solid 3-point goal before Ibaka returned to defense.

3-0！

The “supersonic twins” signaled to each other, this ball, enough to make the loveless Seattle shed tears of memory…

It was the Thunder’s turn to attack.

Kevin Durant couldn’t wait to run out of the flank as soon as the ball was halfway through, wanting to catch the ball.

Li Wan just faced him, but did not give the man he expected “1v1”, which made him feel that Li Wan was cowardly, since this is the case…

Then I’ll show my sword!

Can……

Westbrook’s desire to attack was no worse than his.

The embarrassment brought to him by Beverly’s “mad dog”, he held it every day and wanted to pay it back!

Before the game, seeing this guy in the starting lineup, he was ready to teach Beverley 800 times with basketball.

He wants to beat this “mad dog” into a “dead dog”!

Beverley also noticed Westbrook’s recklessness, and instead of a little fear, he showed a somewhat defiant smile.

At this time, Westbrook did not hesitate in the slightest, stepped on the “Hot Wheels” and rushed straight to the basket.

As Li Wan expected, this early injury also made his physical fitness skyrocket in advance, and after a month of “sewer reconstruction”, today’s Westbrook is really no different from the “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”.

Beverley easily judged his breakthrough route, but in the confrontation, his expression gradually grinned.

Since Westbrook’s comeback, this is the first time the two of them have met, and Westbrook’s ferocity is a little beyond Beverley’s expectations.

He felt…

This is not Westbrook, but LeBron James…

What a weirdo!

“Phew! ”

Beverley was squeezed away.

Tyson Chandler made up for it the first time, and as a result…

Westbrook, who was pushing Beverley, jumped straight up, and with such a rapid breakthrough, he actually made a “stop-and-shoot jumper” less than 40cm below the basket.

The difficulty is as big as you can imagine.

But it did catch Tyson Chandler off guard.

appeared…

Westbrook’s signature way to score: zombie jumper!

Although the efficiency of this move is similar to Maddie’s “dry jump shot”, it is even lower.

It can really make the defender unexpected.

Like this one, Westbrook had already shot before Tyson Chandler pounced.

“Duh, duh… Swish! ”

The basket bounced twice and the ball fell smoothly into the basket.

2-3！

Westbrook responded on behalf of the Thunder.

The Knicks gave the ball to Li Wan again, and when he received the ball, Kevin Durant provocatively slapped his hand twice, took a defensive pose, looked at Li Wan with a fierce face, and kept chanting in his mouth:

“Come on, hit me if you have the ability! ”

Li Wan…

Still didn’t take it!

When Ray Allen came out, Li Wan again gave the ball to the latter.

The breakthrough just now obviously scared Sefrosa, and he didn’t dare to save so this ball, but his defensive psychology had long been expected by Ray Allen, so after receiving the ball this time, Ray Allen did not hesitate and raised his hand to shoot.

6-2！

Severosa is now a somewhat well-known outside defender in the league, but in these two rounds, Ray Allen has played the new generation of defensive titans into babies.

The gap in experience…

The Thunder made up for it with youthful energy.

Westbrook still held the ball on his own, this time the layup failed to score, Tyson Chandler successfully grabbed the position, but was held by Perkins, although the hand hit the ball, but was slapped by Ibaka.

The ball hit the rebound again, and as soon as it popped out, Ibaka jumped up again, successfully grabbed the rebound, dunked both hands, and hit a second goal.

4-6！
