Chapter 371 Finals

After returning from the timeout, Durant held the ball from the outside and forced Paul George!Did not pass!This season, Paul George's defensive efficiency has been firmly ranked first among small forwards!And the best player who defended Durant in his previous life was Paul George!Durant turned over and shot without going over!I'm in too much of a hurry to get in!

Davis took the rebound and gave it to Curry!Curry quickly led the frontcourt, and Davis came to cover!Presti clarified his tactics just after the timeout, playing pick and roll!Just hit Jordan!Jordan's pick-and-roll defense has always had a problem, that is, he will shrink the basket and not come out to protect the rebound!This is true for guards with average projection, but when encountering a guard with a projection shape, it will blow up after all!
Sure enough, when Curry and Davis played a pick-and-roll, Jordan immediately shrank to the basket. Although Westbrook forcibly squeezed past the defense, Curry had already shot!Mid-range hit!The Thunder is still playing singles. Westbrook rushes to the inside, encounters a help defense, and points out to Durant. He doesn't pass again, because it is impossible to open up, and continue to face George, this time for a crossover!Changed direction!But Davis immediately came over to defend, did not give Durant a little space, and immediately scored Harden from the outside!If there is no time, throw a three-pointer against Thompson!still none!

Green took the rebound and accelerated himself. After reaching the frontcourt, he gave it to Curry and continued to play pick-and-rolls. Jordan continued to close to the basket!Curry makes another mid-range move!Beep!Thunder paused!The point difference came to 7 points!
Presti knew that the Thunder would definitely not replace Jordan. If Jordan was replaced, it would only be worse. Collison and Gibson would basically give points to Davis!The most is to let Ibaka pounce, but if Ibaka comes out, then other positions will be empty!

Of course, Jordan can also switch defenses immediately and defend Curry alone, but it goes without saying that he knows the result. Although Jordan is considered fast among the big men, he is still far behind Curry!
After returning from the timeout, Westbrook held the ball at the top of the arc, faced Curry, and passed it in one step!Go to the basket and force a layup!The wasp contracted slightly slower this time, beep!Caused Green's defense foul!Westbrook made two free throws!
Curry led the frontcourt and continued to play pick-and-rolls. This time Jordan reached out to interfere and switched over. Curry faced Jordan, and his teammates pulled away immediately!Changed direction and passed directly, Ibaka jumped out again!At this moment, Green directly cuts over and splits up immediately!Catch and dunk!

Here Westbrook catches the ball and sprints in the backcourt!But the Hornets retreated very quickly!Sprint too hard and miss a layup!Davis took the rebound and gave it to Curry, and Curry pressed the rhythm in the frontcourt!Davis continued to come over to cover, and then switched to Jordan again. Jordan did not dare to give Curry room to shoot, and he stuck it tighter. But once it was tight, Curry immediately broke through and went to the free throw line again. This time Ibaka hesitated and did not help defend immediately, so Curry was in the middle distance again!besides!

Beep!Thunder paused!The point difference has come to 13 points!Both offensive and defensive ends of the Thunder are completely suppressed. Many people already know that the Thunder's general situation is over, because with the current situation of the Thunder, the Hornets will be killed with a pick-and-roll!

After returning from the timeout, Durant broke through the inside line and caused Green's norms. He made two free throws, but then Paul George played a pick-and-roll with Durant.

Thunder is still singles here, but it may be due to limited physical strength, the ball really can't get in!At this time, Westbrook played 41 minutes, Durant 42 minutes, Harden 40 minutes, Ibaka 42 minutes, and Jordan 40 minutes!And there are only 3 minutes until the end of the game!
The Hornets are much simpler. Curry and Davis pick and roll, Paul George and Davis pick and roll, almost one-on-one!The Thunder became more anxious as they fought more and more. After Durant reached the top of the arc, he directly pulled out an iron.

Curry played steadily in the frontcourt, ensuring no mistakes. This time the pick-and-roll did not score, but the attack time was almost used up for 24 seconds!Westbrook sprinted the ball in the backcourt and caused a foul. Westbrook made two free throws, but such a score could not stop the bleeding at all.

Curry slowly led the frontcourt and handed it to Davis. Davis handed it to Paul George.In! ! ! !
"Crack! Crack! Crack!" The scene suddenly erupted!The fans of the Hornets applauded wildly. This goal basically sentenced the Thunder to death. The time was 1 minutes, but the point difference was 15 points!
"In this game, the Thunder actually did very well in the first three quarters, but their physical strength basically improved later, and the rotation was not timely. It's a pity," Barkley said regretfully.
"Well, the Thunder can force the Hornets with the best regular season record in history to the tiebreaker. It is commendable and convincing! The Thunder's Durant, Westbrook, Harden, Ibaka, and Jordan are no worse than the Hornets, and even slightly better, but the bench is far from it. The Thunder can only start endlessly," Chris Webber paused.

Barkley: "The Thunder started with an average of 42.3 minutes per game, while the Hornets started with only 39 minutes. After seven games, how can the Thunder's physical strength not be a problem? I hope the Thunder will strengthen the bench next season."

The final score was 113 to 105, and the Hornets advanced to the finals for two consecutive years with a total score of 4 to 3.

库里16投10中，三分球8中5，罚球4中4，砍下29分4篮板7助攻2抢断，其中15分是在最后一节拿到的！直接利用挡拆打崩了雷霆！

保罗乔治14投7中，三分球5中3，得到17分7篮板4助攻4抢断。

汤普森12投7中，三分球7中5，罚球2中2，得到21分4篮板2助攻。

戴维斯出手不多，7投4中，罚球5中5，得到13分11篮板2助攻外加5个盖帽，可以说戴维斯守护了黄蜂的禁区！。

Thunder is very average except for 4 minor accidents.

杜兰特24投11中，三分7中4，罚球6中6砍下32分8篮板3助攻！即使在这种情况下，杜兰特的发挥依然很稳定，
Westbrook made 20 of 9 shots, 5 of 2 three-pointers, 8 of 7 free throws, 27 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists and 4 turnovers! , Westbrook is still playing very well, and his shooting percentage is also impressive.
Harden made 17 of 5 shots, 4 of 2 three-pointers, 5 of 5 free throws, scored 17 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists but had 5 turnovers!Harden played very mediocre in this game. The main reason is that George Chance was inseparable from him in the first three and a half quarters!It made Harden very uncomfortable!In his previous life, under George's defense, Harden's shooting percentage was often less than 40%!
Ibaka was the best performer in this game. Although he only scored 6 points and 8 rebounds in 7 shots, he blocked 7 shots. It can be said that if the Thunder did not have Ibaka, the Hornets could end the battle in three quarters!
Jordan is even worse. It can be said that the Hornets won this game on him. Jordan's pick-and-roll defense has always been in the middle distance and then shrunk to the basket. Now when he meets a shooting team like the Hornets, he is directly shot!
Of course, the worst performer was the Thunder's bench. Excluding Harden, the Thunder's bench scored a total of 9 points, while the Hornets' bench scored 33 points!Thunder's Collison scored 2 points and 3 rebounds, and Gibson scored 7 points and 4 rebounds!

When the final whistle sounded, the Thunder had an ugly expression on their faces. Although they didn't cry, they didn't feel bad. They fell in the same place for two consecutive years, and they both reached the tiebreaker. They were only a little short of the finals!

After the end, although the Thunder players were very uncomfortable, they still came to hug Presti one by one. After all, Presti was their mentor. Brooks also came to shake Presti's hand, but everyone knew that Brooks must be very upset at this time. After all, he almost won!

At the post-match press conference, Presti praised everyone on the team. When talking about Curry, he said: "Stephen is one of the best point guards in the league. He is the leader of this team and the engine of our team!"

When talking about Paul George, he said: "He is a rare small forward with good offensive and defensive skills in the league. He is the outside gate of our team. You can see that George will always defend the opposite arrow, and often restrict the opponent. After putting in so much energy on the defensive end, George can still play on the offensive end! I believe he will become the best forward in the next few years!"

The reporter asked: "Davis is only in his first year this year, but he played well in the playoffs alone. He doesn't look like a rookie. Do you have anything to say?"

"Davis can't be proud now. He must continue to work hard to improve his strength. His strength is already an All-Star, but I told him that this is far from the end. His strength should be the top center in the league and a strong contender for MVP!"

When talking about Thompson, Presti highly praised: "Thompson's scoring ability is explosive and stable. He will be one of the best players in this position. Similarly, his strength has reached the All-Star level."

Presti also praised the Thunder players ""The performance of the Thunder players in this series made me unbelievable. I didn't expect to advance in such a difficult way. They are really tenacious.In addition to tactics, the main reason why the Hornets won the tiebreaker is that our bench is the best in the league!If the bench is removed, it is really hard for me to imagine how to win this group of talented guys! "

On the other hand, the Eastern Conference finals have already ended, and the Heat easily advanced 4:1. There is no team in the Eastern Conference that can match the configuration of the Heat. The Eastern Conference has three All-Star teams like James, Wade, and Bosh. There is no reason not to qualify!

The Heat have been correcting for several days and are already ready to go. They are eager to win the coveted championship this year!
This game can be said to be full of gimmicks. No.1 in the James League has not yet won the championship. Their big three has been ridiculed by many fans for two years. It can be said that the finals must be won!

For the Hornets, it is much simpler. The historical regular season record must win the championship, otherwise it will also become a laughing stock!The Warriors won 73 championships in the previous life, but they have been ridiculed for a long time!
The finals are coming soon. After a few days of recuperation, the Hornets players are also ready to go. In the locker room, Presti wants the players to emphasize that they should play fast!The Heat's strength Presti really didn't take it seriously!
Jump ball, Hornets win!Davis dialed the ball to Curry, Curry quickly took the top of the arc, and Wade came to defend Curry!Wade's aggressiveness is very strong, immediately transferred to Davis!Davis turned around and ignored the defensive mid-range shot!Very stable, the Heat's Haslem can't stop Davis at all, this is a huge advantage!

The Heat attacked, Wade and Haslem played a pick-and-roll in the middle and rushed to the left. Davis quickly switched to block in front of him. Curry bypassed the screen to chase. Wade passed the ball to the middle.

Haslem was blocked and didn't dare to play against Davis. Instead, he passed the ball to Bosh on the right.

Green won DOPY in his previous life because of this ability to defend from 1 to 5. In his previous life, Green defended Davis in the low post, so it goes without saying that he defended against Bosh!Bosh immediately passed the ball to Wade

Wade played a pick-and-roll with Bosh on the left side, Green continued to keep the distance to defend against the breakthrough, Curry chased and defended the pincer, Wade passed the ball to Bosh, Green immediately stepped forward to interfere, Bosh hesitated to shoot, and passed it to James.

After James got the ball, he rushed directly, Paul George chased and defended, and the Hornets immediately shrank when they reached the basket, James missed a layup!
Paul George took the rebound, counterattacked and accelerated!Heat retreats quickly, attracts the defense, and then divides to Thompson who follows up on the right. Thompson who catches the ball throws the ball without hesitation!Hollow hits!
There was an instant burst of warm applause!
Scoring this kind of ball will boost morale, defending against the opponent's attack, and then performing a hearty fast break can make the opponent very disappointed!
The Heat attacked, and the Hornets continued to block the penalty area with zone defense, and put James and Haslem at a certain distance.
The Heat didn't dare to grab rebounds with all their members, knowing that the Hornets were very good at switching, so only Haslem was left to grab the frontcourt rebounds, and the rest quickly retreated!
Curry dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, his teammates pulled away, Davis went to the low post on the left side, Green gave Thompson an off-ball screen on the right side, and helped him run away from Chalmers, Curry took the ball and gave it to Thompson immediately!Thompson knows his job, defends and shoots!Thompson with the ball opened his hand and shot!

This time it missed, but the front board was grabbed by Green!Go to the top of the arc to reorganize, and other players move!Green was emptied again!Turn around and shoot, the shot is very resolute!Strike the iron!James took the rebound and accelerated!James rushed up, believing that no one in this league could stop him, so he dunked directly!
Presti stood up and applauded, telling the players that they played very correctly. Let him score this kind of ball. This kind of ball can't kill the Hornets. What makes James kill is to drive his teammates. It doesn't matter even if one person scores 40 points!

Curry went to the frontcourt to play a pick-and-roll with Davis, switched to Haslem, and it was time for military training. He changed direction continuously and passed easily. Bosh assisted the defense a step slower and made another throw!
