Chapter 1514 Birth of the Western Champion
"Facts have proved that we have the absolute strength to defeat the opponent. The opponent tried to use the same lineup as us, but obviously they failed and we succeeded~!! Therefore, we still have to continue to play confidently and continue to use our We will definitely have a chance to defeat our opponents~!!”

In the Clippers locker room after the third game of the series, Lan Shengli said to the players.

"Everyone did a good job defending tonight. I am very satisfied. I believe Coach Harper should be equally satisfied~"

Lan Shengli continued talking and looked at Harper.

Harper nodded immediately when he heard this.

"In the next game, we still need to carry out some relevant techniques and tactics, and we must still pay enough attention to the opponent and the key players of the opponent. They are like the lion trapped in a cage. We must continue to let them Trapped in it, make them uncomfortable~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

Today's Clippers are in full swing, like a tiger descending a mountain.

And the Thunder team here.

"I obviously have a lot of open opportunities, but the ball just can't pass to me, what can I do~?!"

Durant questioned bluntly in the locker room.

Such questioning may be to attack Westbrook on the sidelines.

Although Westbrook also sent 7 assists in this game, he also made 5 turnovers and his shooting percentage was not very high.

He only made 16 of 4 two-pointers and missed all 4 three-pointers.

"You just have to throw that damn empty space in~!!"

Durant continued to speak in an angry tone.

"We have arranged a lot of tactics for you, and I have passed all the balls that should be passed. It should be said that you have many offensive options that are too reluctant, and you put too much focus on offense. It’s a very important reason~!!, you didn’t actively protect the backboards, and most of the time, you just thought about scoring yourself instead of helping the team win~ Am I wrong~ ?!"

Westbrook responded very strongly.

"You yourself have wasted a lot of opportunities, you have not fulfilled the task of linking up the team at all~!!"

Durant stood up directly, watching Westbrook roar.

The two of them seem to be in a state of tension now.

"Okay~, okay~, okay~!!, don't say a few words~, don't argue~!!"

Seeing that the whole situation was getting out of control, Brooks immediately yelled.

"The loss is not the problem of one of you, but the problem of our entire team. Of course, I also have a lot of responsibility as the head coach, but at this time we cannot blame each other, we must trust each other~!!, we We must unite and find out the reason for the loss~!!"

Brooks continued.

Brooks' words silenced everyone.

Although the conflict between Westbrook and Durant subsided in this way, the situation where the two began to distrust each other has become a very serious hidden danger for the Thunder.

Such hidden dangers were fully revealed in the fourth game.

Westbrook and Durant are completely in a state of incongruity.

Not only did the two not pass the ball to each other on the field, they basically didn't even communicate verbally.

There is also completely zero interaction off the field.

The two "big guys" in the team are like this, and the other teams are even more silent.

The entire Thunder team is like a mess, without any fighting power at all.

118: 96.

The Clippers won a big victory, and the total score of the series has come to 3:1.

From the Western Conference championship, from the stage of the Finals, the Clippers have only one victory left.

Soon, the series relocated to Oklahoma City.

Chesapeake Energy Arena is still packed.

Only this time the fans are wearing a more uniform blue cheering jersey.

The entire Chesapeake Energy Arena turned into a blue ocean.

And the Clippers happen to be wearing blue jerseys as well, so it feels as if this is the Clippers' home court.

Perhaps it was because they were already 1:3 behind, and the psychological burden was even smaller. Coupled with the cheers from the home fans, the Thunder played very aggressively when they came up.

"Duang~!!!"

"Roar~!!!"

Durant also changed his style of play, instead of blindly making mid-range shots, he hit the basket more often.

After the violent slam dunk, Durant released the pressure in his heart with a ferocious roar.

Westbrook also played more reasonably, was more willing to pass the ball, and was willing to create opportunities for his teammates.

However, the Clippers have not been widened by too many points.

To be on the safe side, Lan Shengli sent out five small lineups in the second quarter.

The point difference was quickly brought under control.

The third quarter turned into a watershed again.

On the Thunder's side, Durant was often double-teamed by George and Butler, so he had no choice but to pass the ball.

However~
"Clang clang~!!"

"Clang~!!"

"Da~, clang~!!"

Neither the shooter Martin nor Westbrook, who had a good touch in the first half, failed to score the ball.

Even Ibaka's strong attack from the basket came out of the frame.

The Thunder have another scoring drought.

In other words, as long as Durant is restricted, it will be really difficult for the rest of the Thunder to stand up and carry the team's offensive banner.

As for the Clippers, they still played with ease.

Le Fuli took advantage of the strength of the lower plate to hit Ibaka hard and succeeded in a row.

Because of the space of the five small lineups, the Thunder were unable to double-team Love.

77: 71.

After three quarters, the Clippers took the lead again.

"Let the opponent continue to be impatient~, let them continue to make those difficult shots, we continue to press the rhythm, continue to control the rhythm of the game, forget about the scoreboard, and it will always be zero to zero~!!"

Even though he was about to enter the finals, Lan Shengli still told the players.

After the start of the fourth quarter, the Thunder really had an impatient offensive choice.

Many consecutive hasty outside shots failed to hit.

In the final analysis, this is because Brooks has no solution to Lan Shengli's defensive tactics.

The entire offensive and defensive tactics were completely suppressed.

Especially when the Clippers sacrificed the "five small lineups", the Thunder immediately fell into a passive situation.

With the exit of some Thunder fans, the suspense of the game gradually disappeared.

"Dum~!!"

"Swipe~!!!"

3 minutes and 2 seconds before the final, Foye hit a three-pointer at the buzzer.

The point difference came to 17 points.

It is almost a situation where the Clippers lock the victory.

109:97, the game is over.

"Yeah!!!"

"Oh~!!!"

All the soldiers of the Clippers cheered.

A new Western champion was born.
