But Westbrook's offensive rebounds! ! !
"This physical quality! Beast!" Barkley was stunned to see Westbrook getting a rebound from a group of "black and tough" heads! !

Presti also exclaimed: "Westbrook's sense of rebounding is really unique! And the ability to grab rebounds at the moment of conception is really too strong!" He remembered reading a statistic in his previous life. At the critical moment in the last few minutes, Westbrook's offensive rebounds were as high as 1.7!Higher than many top insiders!

Westbrook came out and asked for another three-pointer! !

Do you have!Do you have! ! !

Still not in! ! ! !

It's Westbrook soaring into the sky again! ! !

The referee looks at the video to confirm!

Barkley was surprised: "No matter what the result is, the Thunder really tried their best at this time! Especially Westbrook! At the critical moment, they were able to get rebounds from so many players! It's amazing!"

David Wesley also sincerely praised: "This physical fitness is rare!"

The referee confirmed that Whiteside shot out of bounds!
It's still the Thunder's frontcourt ball!
Bottom line Westbrook serves! !

Durant quickly got rid of the defense!
Here comes the ball! ! ! !
Open three points! ! ! !
Get started! ! !

"Can you get in? Can you get in????"

It's been a lap! !

It actually came out! !

The red light is on!

In an instant, amazing applause erupted from the stadium, and the Hornets fans shouted excitedly at this time, take pictures!hug each other!Come share the joy!The Hornets fans outside the stadium are dancing at this moment!

On the court, players hug each other!roar!Thompson, Jimmy Butler and others were already so excited that they won the Western Conference Championship in their first season in the NBA. It was too fantastic!
And Curry cried with joy. When he played extremely poorly under the Thunder system, he once doubted himself, and now he has won the Western Conference Championship again!Prove yourself again!
Thinking of this, he looked at Presti on the coach bench and said silently, "Thank you, coach!"

"Hey!!! It's a pity for the Thunder!!!" Barkley sighed.

"The Thunder is worthy of respect! The series between the Thunder and the Hornets is not inferior to the finals of previous years. It's so exciting!" David Wesley praised.

The Thunder players left silently with their heads down!Hornets fans spontaneously applauded as they left!Thanks to the Thunder players for dedicating such a wonderful game!Thunder deserves respect!

···········
Looking at the backs of the Thunder players, Presti also sighed. Although he likes the Thunder, he still has to work hard for his team. Fortunately, Presti has brought the Thunder the championship, and finally has no regrets!

Thinking of this, Presti took out his mobile phone and sent a message to the Thunder players: "You guys played very well, I'm proud of you! Come on, make a comeback next year! I'm still here waiting for you!"

·······
When Presti returned to the locker room, he saw the players dancing awkwardly in the locker room!
As soon as the players saw Presti, they pulled Admiral Presti over!Curry laughed and said: "Coaches dance together! Dance together!!!"

While the other players were booing from the sidelines! : "Jump! Jump!"

Just as Presti was about to speak, he felt a chill in his neck, and turned his head to look, it turned out that Paul George was watering behind him...

"Haha!" In an instant, laughter filled the entire locker room!

········
Half an hour later, at the press conference, Presti was wiping the water on the back of his neck with a towel. Just before Presti sat down, Curry poured another glass of water from behind!

"Still laughing? Run me 10 laps around the gym next time!" Presti looked at Curry who was trying to hold back his smile!
As soon as Presti finished speaking, Curry's face instantly changed from happy to bitter! !And other players participating in the press conference have already burst into laughter!

The reporter below is you look at me, I look at you, and suddenly laughed!Really, where there is Presti, there are always laughter and laughter. In their memory, it seems that the relationship between the player owner, the player coach and the players has never been so harmonious!

Presti wiped off the water and said apologetically, "Sorry, I kept you waiting for a while, let's start!"

"It's okay, we still think it's quite interesting!" A reporter said with a smile.

Then the reporter began to ask: "Presti, today's game was very tense until the last few seconds, and you finally won the game. May I ask how you managed to stabilize the game at the last moment!"

Presti smiled and said: "If we talk about the last few seconds, I want to say that we didn't stabilize, we lost three offensive boards! In the end we won, just because the Thunder didn't make shots in the last three opportunities! They are really very strong!"

Reporter: "Then how did you take the lead at the last moment?"

Presti thought for a while and said: "When we didn't open the outside line at the beginning, we didn't change our tactics, because I believed in the ability of my players, they would always make shots! And you can see that in the fourth quarter, we opened up the outside line with full firepower! This gave us a very good sense of space!
Therefore, we played very resolutely at the last moment, frequently attacking the inside line!Because they didn't dare to shrink the line of defense at all, so we were able to frequently cause fouls by the Thunder!Got a free throw!

Conversely, the Thunder's outside touch is average, so when they attack the inside, we dare to help defend against double-teams! "

"Presti, New Orleans made history this year. They entered the Western Conference finals for the first time and won the Western Conference championship for the first time. Do you have anything to say?"

Presti smiled when he heard this: "I want to tell the New Orleans fans that the history of New Orleans has not stopped, and this year he will continue a new history! Championship!!"

"Wow!!" The reporters at the scene exclaimed, and immediately snapped!Is this a tactic for the Heat in advance?Although the game between the Heat and the Celtics is not over yet!But many people think that the Heat will definitely win the tie-break!
"Curry, in the last few minutes of the fourth quarter tonight, you hit consecutive key three-pointers, which quickly narrowed the point difference. Especially at the end, you also hit a go-ahead three-pointer! How did you do it?"

Curry laughed and said: "Because I believe I can do it, I know what kind of player I am, especially in a previous timeout, Presti told me that we believe in you, you can do it, and my teammates also encouraged me. This gave us a lot of confidence, and everything will fall into place!"

"Last year, you suffered unprecedented doubts, and since you came to the Hornets, your performance has become better and better, and now your team has also won the Western Conference championship! Do you have anything to say to those doubters?"

Curry smiled slightly: "To be honest, no, but I want to say a few words to those who have always supported me."

"Oh? What do you want to say?"

Curry said seriously: "Thank you for always supporting me, especially during the period when I underestimated. You gave me motivation! I assure you that I will play [-]% of myself in every game and will not let you down!"

······
Then the reporter began to interview another important hero of the game: Paul George,
"Paul George, at the last moment, you frequently rushed to the inside and caused a lot of damage to the Thunder. At that time, your footsteps were already a bit staggered, but you still did it. Why?"

Paul George: "Because we have to win this game, for Coach Presti, myself, for Curry, for Jimmy Butler, for Thompson, for each of us! I have to do it!"

Then Paul George continued: "And Presti and his teammates trust me and are willing to give me the ball at such an important moment. How could I let them down?"

········
Heat arena, the players are still training hard!
"James! The Hornets won the tie-breaker! They have advanced to the finals!!" Wade ran over with his mobile phone and said.
"The Hornets still won! Seriously, I really don't want to face Presti!" James said helplessly.

"Haha, it's all the same, but I think the Hornets play better. Go home and watch the replay. The Thunder are really strong, and I think their style of play is more restrained than us!" Wade laughed.

"Forget it, don't think about it, let's beat the Celtics tomorrow!" Wade said suddenly.

"Celtic" James muttered to himself, and then his eyes were full of flames!He must win tomorrow!He has not forgotten the scene of being beaten up by the Celtics when he was in the Cavaliers, and he must take revenge tomorrow!
