NBA: I coach Kobe

However, Lin Li did not get through to Ju Jingyi’s phone, but after a while, Ju Jingyi sent a message, telling Lin Li not to worry, he was fine.

Lin Li then relaxed and began to prepare for the Western Conference semifinals with the Thunder.

…………

When Lin Li and Ju Jingyi were lingering in the villa that day, the NBA playoffs were still in full swing.

The Oklahoma Thunder faced the Houston Rockets with a 3-2 scoreline, which was no worse than the game between the Lakers and Clippers, and played very anxiously.

But there is also a reason for the anxiety, that is, I was injured in the second game.

In the middle of the second quarter against the Rockets, Rockets rookie guard Patrick Beverley hit Wilson’s right leg knee with his hip while completing a steal. After being hit, three-time All-Star Wilson looked miserable and limped, but he persevered to finish the game.

In that game, Wilson played 37 minutes and scored 29 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals to help the Thunder defeat the Rockets 105-102 at home and lead 2-0 on aggregate.

The next third game was also won by the Thunder by a very narrow margin, but was chased by the Rockets two games in a row.

Today is the sixth game between the two teams, and the game is also very intense, but in the end, the Thunder won the final game with Durant’s excellent play and successfully advanced to the second round of the West.

Their opponent in the Western Conference semifinals is the Lakers led by Lin Li.

In other games in the West, the Spurs also beat the Warriors 4-2, and the Nuggets lost unexpectedly to the Grizzlies, who were in poor form at the end of the regular season, and were out.

The first round in the East was unusually bad, except for the Heat’s 4-0 victory over the Bucks, all of them played more than 6 games, including the Nets and Bulls game to tie seven, and the only game in the first round of all matchups to tie seven games.

By now, all the matchups have emerged.

The Western Conference semifinals are the Lakers vs. Thunder and the Spurs vs. Grizzlies, while the Eastern Conference semifinals are the Heat vs. the Bulls and the Knicks vs. the Pacers.

…………

Before the semifinals began, Lin Li was of course most concerned about the situation in Westbrook on the Thunder’s side, and he was still a little impressed by this history, he remembered that Westbrook had a meniscus surgery directly after the team advanced, and the season was reimbursed.

Lin Li’s reimbursement for Westbrook can be said to be both happy and regretful, happy because there is one less absolute opponent, and regret because he can’t fight with Complete Body Thunder, which is really a pity.

…………

On the evening of May 5.

Ford Center Arena.

Fans are already coming in.

Inside the stadium, the players are being interviewed by reporters before the match.

“Russell is injured and won’t play this game, but that doesn’t mean we’re going to lose.”

“No matter how difficult the game is, we will be angry to win the final victory, knowing that we are first in the West and the first place in the West is not something that can be achieved by just two stars.”

“Although the Lakers have been in very good form recently, you know, we beat them several times in the regular season, and I think we can get the final victory.”

“They changed coaches? So what, we will definitely win. ”

Durant faced reporters and talked eloquently.

Although he seemed very calm and confident, everyone knew that he was panicked.

Although Westbrook did not announce the season reimbursement as in his previous life, this game is already doomed to be unavailable.

You must know that Westbrook can contribute 20+ statistics this season, which is equivalent to this game, and the Thunder have to deduct 20 points to start the game.

At this time, reporters also began to interview the Lakers.

Kobe said: “Even if we know that there is one less starter on the opposite side, we can’t be careless, we need to play steadily and win the game!” ”

Howard, on the other hand, was not as modest as Kobe, and he directly learned from Lin Li’s previous speech: “There is one thing to say, knowing that Westbrook is not in this game, in fact, I am already preparing for the next game, if he reimburses, I feel that our coach can start studying the opponent of the Western Conference.” ”

The home of the Thunder, there are naturally many reporters who are biased towards the Thunder, and everyone is very annoyed by Howard’s words.

Seeing the reporters’ somewhat angry faces, Howard smiled slightly and said: “Believe it or not, this game is no longer in suspense.” ”

“It’s useless to talk more, see you in the game.”

“Let’s go, I’m going to start warm-up.”

…………

Before the start of the game, the two sides are warming up for shooting.

Today’s commentary has become a partnership between Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith, and Abdul-Jabbar has been specially invited to the commentary table as a guest and commentator.

“Good evening, our senior!” Charles Barkley greeted Abdul-Jabbar cordially, “We are very happy to invite NBA Hall of Famer players in such an important game, Abdul-Jabbar who used to dominate the NBA, everyone probably has an impression of his sky hook by now!” “。

“Good evening, Charles.” Abdul-Jabbar replied with a smile.

On the side, Kenny Smith greeted him with two expectant colleagues, but found that the other party was talking about himself, and did not care about him at all.

“Well, friends of the audience in front of the TV, this is the Ford Center Arena, tonight will play the All-Mile Men’s Basketball Pro League, the second round of the Western Conference Playoffs, against the home team Oklahoma City Thunder and the visiting team Los Angeles Lakers!”

“This game could have been said to be intense, but this game, Westbrook has decided not to play, as for the next game to play or not, the Thunder official did not give an answer.”

“The game is about to start and we can see that the players on both sides are warming up… Wow, tonight Durant surprisingly did not spend as much effort as he used to practice shooting feeling, but instead practiced against Ibaka and killed under the basket! ”

Kenny Smith gave a serious introduction to the audience in front of the TV.

Charles-Barkley was not so serious at this point.

Two people, one serious, one funny!

“Karim, do you think tonight the Thunder and Lakers, which team can win?!” Barkley asked.

“Of course the Lakers win.”

Abdul-Jabbar hardly hesitated to say that the Lakers are also their parent team.

At this time, the two sides finished warming up and returned to the dressing room.
