Chapter 246
With Kevin Durant and Westbrook taking turns, at the end of the first half, the Thunder's lead had reached 15 points.
Popovich was completely restless.
It was no longer as calm as in the previous few games, and the guys from the Spurs just scolded them severely.
But the current situation...
The Spurs couldn't hold back the Thunder's drive.
Not only could it not be restrained, but it was even impossible to keep up.
When the physical fitness of the entire Spurs declined in the second half, the Thunder frequently played "scoring surges". If Tim Duncan hadn't prayed to the gods, the "Stone Buddha" in 03 had responded to him, scoring 10 points in a single quarter and Contributed 2 blocks, I'm afraid the game has become "garbage time".
but……
"Stone Buddha" lasted one quarter, but couldn't last two quarters. In the fourth quarter, as the Thunder continued to show their youthful vitality, the Spurs, who could not continue to stand up, finally couldn't hold back. Crashed.
121:100.
Back at home, the Thunder beat the Spurs by 21 points, rewriting the big score in the series to a 3-3 tie.
Tie-break!
Tie-break!
Thunder players were interviewed after the game, their eyes full of excitement.
After the game, Popovich finally didn't dare to "provoke" Westbrook anymore. In this game, "Westbrook" scored another 26 points. If he continued to "add fuel to the fire", God knows that this guy will play in the seventh game. what kind of performance to come.
It's just that the current momentum of the Thunder team can't be relieved by "turning off the microphone" at this moment.In the seventh game of the series, the Thunder came to San Antonio again, and they were even more aggressive.
Really want to say...
This is where their dreams began!
After all, according to the rhythm of the first four games of the series, they should be sent home by the Spurs for fishing in the fifth game.
But just before the start of this game, they discovered the power of youth and set off a "jedi counterattack" that made the outside world look at it!
At this moment, the eyes of the whole world are focused on this round of the Western Conference finals, and everyone is waiting for whether the Thunder can complete this magnificent "counterattack".
Before the start of the game, Brooks did not say too much as always, but said lightly: "Go, go and accomplish this great thing!"
When he said this, he felt that his toes were digging the ground, which was so embarrassing.
But everyone in the Thunder team was as excited as if they had been pumped out, and they looked so excited that they could not wait for the game to start immediately...
Sure enough, youth is middle school!
With the blessing of the "chicken soup buff", the Thunder team is even more unstoppable. The Spurs have shown all their resilience in this game, but as the game entered the fourth quarter, their physical fitness gradually dried up, and gradually they could not keep up with the opponent With 30 seconds left in the last quarter, the Thunder successfully established a double-digit point difference.
With Ginobili missing a strong shot and Ibaka getting a rebound, the Spurs gave up struggling and stopped playing...
Tim Duncan's sweaty face showed a bit of depression. He was "black eight" last season, and this season he was pulled by his opponent for 3 games in a row with a 1-3 lead in the Western Conference Finals and was eliminated. The "Stone Buddha", whose mentality is as stable as an old dog, can't help but feel a little frustrated.
more importantly……
In the last three games of the series, he really felt the rush of latecomers, which made him realize that maybe he is really old...
He walked towards Kevin Durant, who was still in a daze, and patted the latter on the shoulder: "The future is yours!"
Five years ago, he said the same thing to another "chosen son", but what he wanted to say at the time was the next sentence: But this time belongs to us.
Today, facing 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 back then. Of course, they are more talented than the Spurs back then. If this lineup can be maintained, he wants to win another championship. I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve.
Kevin Durant nodded in a daze, and when Tim Duncan turned his head to leave, he just realized from the daze, they won, they eliminated the Spurs, from 1 to 3 to 4 to 3, they real……
done!
"We did it!"
"done!"
"We did it!"
……
The AT&T Center Arena, home of the Spurs, is staging a scene where "sorrows and joys between people do not communicate with each other".
The Spurs generals who left the field lonely and the fans in the auditorium formed a stark contrast with the Thunder team members who were bouncing around in the center of the stadium.
Brooks undid the buttons on his shirt, walked to the referee's stand, and shook Popovich's hand.
As the head coach who has been in this league for so many years, Popovich showed his demeanor, congratulated Brooks with a smile, and joked: "If the Thunder win the championship, can I also participate in your celebration banquet! "
Brooks laughed too, but...
Seriously, Popovich was right.
In the next three games, the Thunder have really found their way of playing:
Rather than follow the rules and follow the tactical moves, it seems that letting them squander their talents recklessly can give full play to their abilities. ——Brooks is not the first person to do this. Kevin Durant's college head coach gave Kevin Durant "unlimited firepower".Although in the end Kevin Durant's Longhorn team failed to enter the "March Madness", Kevin Durant did deliver a satisfactory answer.
Known as "the strongest offensive machine after Michael Jordan"!
It's been almost three years since Brooks took over as head coach of the Thunder, and the biggest adjustment he made to Kevin Durant was putting him at the three.
But it wasn't until this round of the series that he discovered: the end of the universe is the organization, and the end of the organization is the security guard. The best tactic to play Kevin Durant is "no tactic"!
In the same way, Westbrook also does not need any tactical restrictions, just give him the ball and let him play according to his own mind...
For such a big "credit", can the celebration banquet not be called Popovich?
After the game, the "Thunder Four" divided all the traffic, and all the reporters present were basically by their side.
Before tonight, in the history of the NBA, only 9 teams were able to complete the reversal and finally advance after falling behind by a big score of 1 to 3.
The most recent one happened 6 years ago.
With the Suns trailing 1-3, they eliminated Kobe's Lakers.
However, since the Suns themselves rank higher than the Lakers in the regular season, this reversal is not glorious.And Bryant did not consider the opponent in the next round.
The Thunder are the 10th team in NBA history to do this.
It is worth mentioning that there are many teams on this list that are on the list repeatedly, but the only team on the list as an "unlucky old man" is the Spurs.
Of course, the last time they were reversed with a 3-1 lead can be traced back to the distant era of 79.
Now the outside world has only two words for the Spurs:
steady.
So much so that domestic fans saw that the Spurs were really reversed and eliminated by the Thunder with a big score of 3 to 1. They couldn't help typing three words:
Ye Qingjie!
However, someone else responded to these comments:
What kind of "Yeqing knot" is this? I was just "black eight" last season, and it's time to tie it up early.In my opinion, the real "Ye Qing Knot" has to be Hu Ge's announcement that he is a father, and that is the real "Ye Qing Knot"...
Early the next morning, fans all over the world knew that the Thunder had succeeded in the "tie-break" and eliminated the Spurs in a big comeback.The number of fans of the Thunder has skyrocketed.
ESPN used the headline "grab the class to seize power" to warm up for the finals.
The Thunder won the remaining spot in the finals and successfully joined the New York Knicks in the finals.
As a representative of the league's youth army, the core of this team is Kevin Durant in the 07 class, Westbrook and Ibaka in the 08 class, and James Harden in the 09 class...
A real new force!
The New York Knicks are once again recognized as "single-core leader" by Li Wan.
In addition, the New York Knicks eliminated the "03 generation of heroes" Heat; the Thunder eliminated the Clippers with Carmelo Anthony in the semifinals...
Li Wan and Kevin Durant packed up the "03 Golden Generation" and sent them home!
This scene looked like the wheels of the alliance's renewal were rolling again!
The "Pan-96 Generation" hasn't come to an end yet, and the 03 Generation hasn't started their era yet, but the 07 newcomers can't wait to make a big fuss...
Moreover, they have indeed done it, this year's finals is the stage for the new generation!
Of course, compared to the "old bird" Li Wan, Kevin Durant can't even be called a "little chicken". .
However, the Thunder team led by this "little chick" is now more optimistic about the outside world.
The momentum shown by the Thunder in the last three games of the Western Conference Finals, in their opinion, is enough to crush all teams in this league.
Even though Li Wan's New York Knicks lost only one game in the three-round series before the Finals, they still believed that the New York Knicks could not beat the transformed Thunder.
Of course, the fact that Artest will miss two games is also the reason why the New York Knicks are not optimistic.
Kevin Durant was very excited to see that he was so "desired by the people", but his good mood only lasted until he secretly read Scarlett's Twitter.
When he saw Scarlett angrily yelling at netizens who were not optimistic about Li Wan, he immediately felt that this "people's will" was not worth it.
If possible, he is willing to exchange the support of so many people for Scarlett's support...
"Avengers 1" has been released, and after watching "Black Widow" on the big screen, Kevin Durant is even hungrier.
He really wanted to post a tweet to express his love for Scarlett, but he just couldn't think of how to clearly express his fanatical love!
Perhaps it was this resentment that made him unable to control the hostility buried deep in his heart when he was interviewed in the afternoon.
When asked "I met Li Wan on the first trip to the finals in my career, what do I want to say?" Kevin Durant said bluntly: "I think this round of the series will let everyone know, Who is the best player in the 07 class!"
As soon as this remark came out, the reporter who interviewed him was almost overjoyed...
As he reported this interview, the smell of gunpowder in the finals "scratched" up!
The Oklahoma media naturally supported Kevin Durant's remarks and cheered them on.
When Li Wan was interviewed, he was also asked by the reporter what he thought of Durant's remarks, and he added: "Li, who do you think is the best player in the 07 class, you or Kevin? "
Li Wan was not surprised, he was even prepared. After the reporter finished asking questions, he unhurriedly took out a championship ring from his pants pocket and put it on his hand: "What did you say?"
While asking questions, he took out another championship ring, continued to pick it out on his finger, and asked again:
"Excuse me, what question did you just ask?"
Under the spotlight, the face of the ring is golden, dazzling, and a bit "piercing". The reporter who asked the question did not repeat his question. This question...
Already have the answer!
The video of Li Wan quickly went viral on the Internet.
Kevin Durant gets a ton of crits.
That night, the bombardment of private messages on Twitter kept him up all night, and he fought until dawn.
Although his head was a bit muddled, he kept repeating a sentence in his heart:
"It's this year!"
"It's this year!"
"It's this year!"
This is the sentence he replied the most during the long night just past. The keyboard was almost smoking. Every reply made him more determined. This time, he must win the finals!
On June 6, the opening match of the 6~2011 season finals, which continued to be hot, officially started.
The first game of the finals is the home of the Knicks, Madison Square Garden.
When interviewed before the game, the reporters found that the Knicks and the guys had a very aggressive attitude, and they seemed to be holding back their anger.
They thought it was Kevin Durant's remarks that offended Li Wan, which made Li Wan's good brothers very unhappy!
between……
It was Li Wan's popularity!
But this is actually only one aspect.
On the other hand, it's a long story...
After the New York Knicks eliminated the Heat 4-0, the Spurs and the Thunder had just played 4 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.
result……
The Thunder rewritten the big score to 2-3!
D'Antoni, who made a 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 tie. No matter what, after the game, the winner will come out. In order to maintain the state, we must deal with the Spurs or Thunder who have been playing for the past few days. D'Antoni Not only did not arrange rest, but also increased the training intensity!
This kind of blue and thin feeling that I have been looking forward to for a long time, and I am looking forward to "heavy work", is very similar to the author crying and shouting every time, brothers, let's order monthly tickets, and there will be 5 tickets immediately, but the brothers keep saying "" Definitely next time", even turned around and tore up the ticket...
You said, can the New York Knicks hold back their energy and want to prove themselves?
It's as if the author hears "I will definitely do it next time", and he will secretly say something in his heart: When I change the ticket every day for [-], why don't you obediently hand in the ticket?
All members of the Thunder team quickly felt the anger.
During the entrance ceremony of the home players, every New York player who came out of the home player tunnel would subconsciously turn his head to look at the Thunder bench and stare fiercely:
You little bastards wait for me!
However, in terms of anger, the guys from the Thunder team are also very angry at the moment.
As the "rookies" who played in the finals for the first time, New York fans let them see what is called "the away atmosphere of the finals" as soon as they entered the stadium early:
"Kevin Durant, you can't even compare to Li Wan's hanging hair!"
"Westbrook, have you been vaccinated against rabies? You're going to be bitten again tonight!"
"Get the MVP of the regular season first, and then challenge Li Wan, you are still far behind, Kevin!"
……
All kinds of trash talk that hit the heart directly made the Thunder team treat the basket as if it were a New York fan during warm-up, and smashed it loudly.
As early as 20 minutes ago, they were already waiting for the game to start.
"King of New York!"
"King of New York!"
"King of New York!"
When Li Wan appeared on the stage, everyone in the audience stood up immediately, and the huge cheers turned into a unified slogan.
Listening to the cheers on the scene, the domestic fans couldn't help feeling excited and proud. At this moment, they are proud.
Including some "Li Hei", they also have to admit that Li Wan is as impeccable as Clear shampoo in conquering New York fans.
Barkley looked at Li Wan, who was looked up to by countless New York fans, and his eyes gradually became a little more incredible. This kid...
Indeed amazing!
He suddenly thought of Kevin Durant.
Challenge Li Wan...
This young man not only has outstanding temperament, but also is really capable in terms of courage!
After all, the players in the 07 Class challenge Li Wan, and the players in the 90s challenged Michael Jordan, which is actually similar in nature.
It really takes a lot of guts.
Barkley admires Kevin Durant.
Looking back on Kevin Durant's growth in the Thunder over the years, he feels that this guy is underestimated.
You know, he was also born in a small city and also led the team to the finals. LeBron James was appointed by David Stern as the next representative of the league, and Kevin Durant now, only A "scoring champion" title is nothing more...
The difference is so big, it is eye-catching!
Kevin Durant deserves a higher rating...
The sideline director switched to Kevin Durant at this moment. This guy was picking his nose, unaware that the TNT camera gave him a perspective.
Now Barkley is even more impressive, not who...
Can have such an outstanding temperament!
At this time, the big screen on the scene was given to the auditorium on the sidelines.One after another, strange screams sounded.
On screen...
First Taylor Swift, then Scarlett, and finally Jennifer Lawrence...
The hot actresses flashed across the screen one by one, which shows how bright the stars are on the sidelines of this finals.
Especially when the camera was on Scarlett, the strange screams in the audience lasted for a long time.
After the release of "Avengers 1", the era that belongs to Scarlett has officially arrived. The role of "Black Widow" will make her the most profitable female star in the world in the future.
This was also a time when her popularity skyrocketed.
It is also too popular. She didn't enter the arena until the home team's player entrance ceremony just started. Unexpectedly, she was discovered as soon as she sat down...
Kevin Durant, who was picking his nostrils, was stunned for a moment, and then a steady stream of fighting spirit emerged. He must win this opening game!
The game time came soon, and the big screen at the scene showed the starting lists of both sides:
"New York Knicks: Beverly at No. [-], Ray Allen at No. [-], Li Wan at No. [-], Lewis at No. [-], Tyson Chandler at No. [-]!
Thunder: Westbrook at No. [-], Sefolosha at No. [-], Kevin Durant at No. [-], Ibaka at No. [-], Perkins at No. [-];”
Before Li Wan entered the stage, he deliberately took a detour, and after high-fiving Taylor Swift, he walked towards the stage. The DJ on the scene quickly cut songs and presented the 10-second climax of "Black Cat".
Taylor jumped up and down excitedly, then sat down again.
This is the fifth year that she and Li Wan have been in love. Before that, she was so big that she rarely did these little girl's movements, but now she has stood beside Li Wan who is 5 meters long, and the part in her heart belongs to the little girl. The liveliness of a woman is gradually no longer concealed.
The whole person looked a little more lively.
Li Wan, make Taylor more feminine...
When there was no one on the two sides throwing dog food, Kevin Durant looked at Scarlett for the first time, looking at her eyes, "Xiao Shuai" was very distressed, and almost couldn't help but rushed up immediately, saying:
Let it be born, I will raise the child!
"Guys, come on, keep an eye on you guys!"
Someone in the auditorium next to him was also interacting with Ray Allen. Li Wan turned his head and took a look, only to find that it was "Wolf King" Kevin Garnett.
This guy and Ray Allen...
Didn't we break up?
How do you look at it, the relationship is better than when you were with the Celtics?
Li Wan knew that Kevin Garnett had spoken soft words in front of the media before, but as far as that encounter was concerned, Kevin Garnett should not have to go to the scene to watch the game, right?
What he didn't know was that after that, Kevin Garnett texted Ray Allen twice more.
The misunderstanding between the two gradually disappeared.
In other words, there was no major conflict between the two of them. Later, when Kevin Garnett retired his jersey, Ray Allen was also sitting on 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 that these two people reconciled, but he didn't expect that the reconciliation would be so fast this time!
Thinking about it carefully, when the league announced that Li Wan won the regular season MVP, Kevin Garnett also interacted with Li Wan on Twitter, reposting a photo of Li Wan and the regular season MVP with the text:
Deserved!
Come cheer now...
Li Wan suddenly heard the sound of abacus.
"beep!"
The buzzer sounded, and the players on both sides stood still in the center of the court. The cheers on the scene reached their climax at this moment.
Kevin Durant looked at Li Wan who was standing opposite, and hearing the cheers for Li Wan, the desire to fight in his expression became even higher.
Although it was the first time to play in the finals, Kevin Durant didn't feel any nervousness at all at this moment. On the contrary, there was a steady stream of motivation one after another, which made him eager to perform well.
From the "Best Rookie" contest in 07 to the "Scoring Champion" contest in 11 and 12, Scarlett...
This sum of money accumulated from repeated defeats...
Li Wan, it's time to settle the matter!
"beep!"
There was another whistle, and the referee threw the ball in his hand.
Tyson Chandler went up against Serge Ibaka to give the New York Knicks the lead.
There were shouts again at the scene, the ball reached the frontcourt, Li Wan ran out from the wing and took the ball in his hands.
Kevin Durant defended the first time he got the ball.
In fact, at the beginning, Brooks arranged for Sefolosha 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 will defend. That rascal!"
He felt that Li Wan, who had been playing the No. [-] position, suddenly changed to the No. [-] position in this game, which was provoking him!
Facing Li Wan's provocation...
How could he not accept the offer?
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 rival that cannot be ignored!
Ok……
Then come on, let's have a man's 1v1 battle!
Who is the grandson!
Kevin Durant was looking forward to a "I'll give you an ashtray, you give me two wine bottles" man-to-man fight with Li Wan, but Li Wan leaned on Kevin Durant and waited for Ray Allen to go around At the top of the arc, he quickly gave the ball to his hands.
Sefolosha's defensive enthusiasm is fully reflected at this moment. Obviously, when Ray Allen catches the ball, he still has two big strides away, but after Ray Allen gets the ball, Sefolosha's entire The person was already stuck in front of him, and Ray Allen had no room to make a move at all...
But it was too tight, and Ray Allen, who quickly raised his hand to make a fake shot, successfully broke through from Sefolosha, who raised his arm, with a cat waist.
Quickly rushed to the basket, faced Ibaka's supplementary defense, and hit the ball to the corner.
Ray Allen's driving drive...
The ball surprised Brooks.
Is this Ray Allen?
Isn't this the "skinny version" of Li Wan?
Lewis stepped forward and caught the ball.
Ray Allen's sudden breakthrough is a surviving muscle memory from ancient times.Breaking through and scoring the ball is the experience of a veteran, but his passing ability is really not good...
Fortunately, Lewis has enough memory of Ray Allen's pass, and he adaptively received the ball successfully.
Then "Mr. Billion" showed his ability to adjust his shooting as a top shooter. Before Ibaka returned to the defense, he steadily hit a 3-pointer.
3-0!
The "supersonic twin stars" signaled to each other that this ball was enough to make Seattle, who had no love, shed tears of memory...
It was the Thunder's turn to attack.
Kevin Durant couldn't wait to run out from the wing as soon as the ball passed half court, wanting to catch the ball.
Li Wan faced him just now, but he didn't give the man he expected "1v1", which made him feel that Li Wan was cowardly, so...
Then I will shine the sword!
Can……
Westbrook's desire to attack is no worse than him.
The embarrassment brought to him by this "mad dog" of Beverly, he held back every day, and wanted to pay it back!
Before the game started, seeing that this guy was on the starting roster, he was already planning to teach Beverly [-] times with basketball.
He wants to beat this "mad dog" into a "dead dog"!
Beverly also noticed Westbrook's recklessness. Instead of showing any fear, he showed a somewhat provocative smile.
Now, without the slightest hesitation, Westbrook stepped on the "Hot Wheels" and rushed straight to the basket.
Just as Li Wan expected, this early injury also ushered in a sharp rise in his physical fitness in advance. After a month of "sewer reconstruction project", the current Westbrook is really like a "ninja". Turtle" is no different.
Beverly 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. Westbrook's ferocity is a bit beyond Beverly's expectations.
He feels...
It's not Westbrook, it's LeBron James...
What a weirdo!
"Bah!"
Beverly was squeezed out.
Tyson Chandler was the first to make it up, and it turned out...
Westbrook, who pushed Beverly away, jumped straight up. With such a rapid breakthrough, he actually made an "emergency stop jumper" at a place less than 40cm away from the basket.
The difficulty can be imagined.
But it did catch Tyson Chandler by surprise.
Appeared……
Westbrook's signature scoring method: Zombie jumpers!
Although the efficiency of this trick is similar to McGrady's "dry jumper", or even lower.
It can indeed make the defensive players unexpected.
Just like this ball, Westbrook had already shot before Tyson Chandler pounced.
"Boom, boom... Shua!"
There were two bounces on the rim, and the ball fell into the rim smoothly.
2-3!
Westbrook responded on behalf of the Thunder.
The Knicks gave the ball to Li Wan again. When he caught the ball, Kevin Durant clapped his hands twice provocatively, put on a defensive posture, looked at Li Wan fiercely, and kept saying wrote:
"Come, come, hit me if you can!"
Li Wan...
Still didn't accept the move!
When Ray Allen came out, Li Wan gave the ball to the latter again.
The breakthrough just now obviously scared Sefolosha. He didn't dare to throw the ball so hard again, but his defensive psychology had long been expected by Ray Allen, so after receiving the ball this time, Ray Allen - Allen raised his hand and shot without any hesitation.
6-2!
Sefolosha is now considered a well-known perimeter defender in the league, but judging from these two rounds, Ray Allen played this new generation of defensive champion into a baby.
The experience gap...
The Thunder made up for it with youthful energy.
Westbrook still held the ball and made a strong charge. This time he failed to make a layup. Tyson Chandler succeeded in grabbing the position, but was blocked by Perkins. Although he touched the ball, he was blocked by Iba. Ka slapped him flying.
The ball hit the backboard again, and as soon as it popped out, Ibaka jumped up again, successfully grabbed the rebound, dunked with both hands, and scored the second goal.
4-6!
