Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 527 Sweeping the Warriors
Nick was very surprised. Could it be that Kevin Durant, who was constantly being compared with James, was really willing to be James' subordinate for the sake of the championship?

Durant's agent said: "You don't know how eager Kevin is for the championship now. He even discussed with me the possibility of joining the Lakers a few days ago!"

Nick was completely dumbfounded now, Durant is the trump card that Mr. Adam Silver arranged for the Warriors.

As for the Lakers, they are the villains appointed by Mr. Adam Silver, that is, the obstacles to the dynasty.

If Durant really voted for the Lakers, Mr. Adam Silver might be pissed off!
This kind of thing must not happen, otherwise I will definitely not be able to keep my job.

The more he thought about it, the more anxious Nick blurted out: "Durant must not go to the Lakers!"

Agent Rich Kleiman was very surprised by Nick's move: "Why, the Lakers' salary space is very reasonable, they can swallow a superstar!"

Nick: "In short, going to the Lakers is not enough!"

Rich Kleiman knew Nick's position beside Adam Silver, and didn't want to quarrel with him, so he ended the conversation hastily.

At the Staples Center, the game between the Lakers and the Warriors was still going on, but Nick left absent-mindedly, and got into his business car directly after going out.

"Go to 13th Street." Nick sat in the back row and ordered. The driver saw that his expression was wrong, so he didn't dare to speak. He stepped on the accelerator hard, and the car went straight to Adam Silver's villa.

There was only Rich Kleiman left in the box, and he only had eyes for his employer, Kevin Durant. As the game progressed, Rich Kleiman's mood became more and more complicated.

He can now understand Durant's feelings about leaving the Warriors.

In the second half of the first quarter, Yuan Qingshan hit consecutive long-range shots, and the Lakers relied on his attack to make another wave of 8-0 and establish the lead.

The Warriors failed to make an effective counterattack. After the first quarter, the Lakers led the Warriors by 31 points 17-14.

Fans at the Staples Center rejoiced, this time they really saw the light of the Finals.

The beautiful commentator Christine screamed again and again in the first quarter, which made Barkley very excited. He secretly said to himself: Next time, we must choose a game with Christine to commentate. As for O'Neill, who cares!

The sharp-eyed O'Neill had already seen through Barkley's careful thinking, and made a few booings during the period, but it backfired, and Barkley became even more unscrupulous.

Christine is an old Jianghu, as long as you dare, I will accept everything.

O'Neill now only feels that he is a bit redundant and should make room for Barkley and Christine.

A few words of O'Neill's teasing Barkley caused repercussions on the Internet. Barkley felt that it didn't matter, but Christine was happy to take advantage of this wave of enthusiasm.

After all, if I can catch up with these two fat guys, I won't have to worry about anything in the future.

The small episodes in the commentary can't affect the direction of the game.

In the second quarter of the game, Curry and Thompson tried to lead the bench lineup to fight a turnaround, but unfortunately it was not so easy. Wharton sent Yuan Qingshan to face Curry, and Paul George to face Thompson.

Durant was still on the court at this time, and the performance of the first three games allowed Walton to finally muster up the courage to withdraw Paul George from him tonight and replace him with Jeff Green.

Rich Kleiman thought this was an excellent opportunity for Durant to prove himself. He left the box and went directly to the sidelines, looking for an opportunity to remind Durant.

As a result, Cole replaced Durant.

This substitution decision made everyone, including Rich Kleiman, confused.

In this way, the expected crazy offensive did not appear. After halftime, the Lakers led the Warriors by 57 points 43-14.

After two quarters, the point difference is still 14 points, which is fatal enough for the Warriors.

So far in the series, time is the most precious thing for the Warriors!
During the intermission, the Warriors' locker room was very dull. Chasing Dream Green was very dissatisfied with the point difference, but he couldn't do anything about it. Towns' defense became more and more sticky. Although Chasing Dream Green no longer dared to underestimate him, he couldn't easily take advantage of it.

Curry looked around the locker room with desolate eyes, watching his teammates look lost, and felt a twinge of pain in his heart.

They were the invincible team in the last round, how did they become like this when they met the Lakers?
As the coach of the Warriors, Cole did not waste the time of the intermission. He has been explaining tactics to the players.

Will it work?
He wasn't sure.

Finally, when the time came, Cole tapped on the whiteboard and said, "In the third quarter, we must let Kevin attack first!"

Before he finished speaking, Chasing Dream Green got up and walked out of the locker room. Pachulia followed closely behind. The figure flashed by, and the door of the locker room was closed heavily with a bang.

Obviously, some people objected to the arrangement of giving the ball to Durant.

Curry's expression seems to be in a daze, or in contemplation. People call him the boss of the Warriors, but in the face of this situation, he, the boss, has nothing to do.

The game restarts, change sides and fight again.

Curry and Thompson passed three good passes for Durant. Durant seized the few shots since the start of the series, and continuously broke through the inside to cause damage.

Jeff Green's experience is very experienced, but the physical difference is too much, and Durant scored two two plus one consecutively.

"The point difference is shrinking!" Although O'Neill supports the Lakers, he is also happy to see the evenly matched situation. It would be even better if the Lakers can win the lore in the end.

He is sure that if the Lakers can kill the Warriors in the end, the Warriors will also disintegrate in the summer.

Kristin: "Cole finally thinks about Durant."

O'Neal shook his head: "No, the teammates finally started to trust Kevin Durant."

Kristen seldom commented on the Warriors' games before, and asked in confusion: "Isn't Durant the core of tactics?"

O'Neal replied meaningfully: "His ability to be the tactical core is definitely no problem, but he can't be the core of the Warriors."

Barkley: "The head of the Warriors will always be Stephen Curry. Even if LeBron James comes, he can't take it away."

Christine realized something.

Then feel sorry for the Oakland fans, they have such a sharp long sword, but they can't make good use of it.

Under Durant's recovery, the Warriors gradually narrowed the point difference. For this situation, the Oaklanders have been looking forward to three games.

Rich Kleiman was very excited. He passed Yuan Qingshan first, and then defeated LeBron, so that Kevin could get his first championship ring.

At that time, there is no problem whether to stay in the Warriors or vote for other teams. You can attack if you advance and defend when you retreat.

Unfortunately, however, it happened.

In the second half of the third quarter, Durant withdrew from the game with a right calf injury without confrontation.

Everyone was stunned, Rich Kleiman almost fell to the sidelines.

After three quarters, the Lakers regained their lead to double digits.

In the final quarter of the game, Curry finally found his hand, scoring 10 points in a row, and Yuan Qingshan responded with consecutive three-pointers, which made the elementary school students' explosion bleak.

At the decisive moment, Durant's departure activated Dream Chasing Green. He and Thompson hit consecutive key three-pointers, and the point difference returned to single digits. This once ignited the hopes of the Oaklanders.

Under the leadership of Yuan Qingshan, the Lakers tenaciously held the lead. When Yuan Qingshan and Paul George's outside shooting percentage dropped, he decisively chose to attack the inside and rely on free throws to chase points.

In the end, Thompson broke out and made the eighth three-pointer of the game.

For the first time in the game, they overtook by 1 point.

The pressure is all on the Lakers' side.

Staples fans held their breath.

Murray received the serve and wanted to pass it to Yuan Qingshan, but was intercepted by Iguodala who was watching behind him.

"Wow!"

Cries of desperation filled Staples Center.

Iguodala holds the ball and looks for his teammates.

Curry wanted to run to meet him immediately.

In a flash, someone was faster than him!

Yuan Qingshan!
In a state where his physical strength was about to be exhausted, he gritted his teeth to complete the steal from Iguodala, and single-handedly made a fast break, which caused a foul by Iguodala who was chasing him.

Referee: "Two points are valid, additional penalty!"

Yuan Qingshan adjusted his breathing, made a shot, and made a free throw.

"Wow!"

Staples Center revelry, boiling!
Yuan Qingshan was so tired that his arms hung down, looking at the scoreboard, he felt relieved.

In the end, the Lakers beat the Warriors 102 to 100 at home.

4 to 0, the Lakers swept the Warriors at their home court and reached the finals.
