NBA bench saves national team

"Qin! If you meet the Thunder in the Western Conference Finals, do you have the confidence to lead the team to eliminate the Thunder?"

a reporter asked.

"Of course! There is no doubt about it! I will defeat my old club with my own hands, and then lead the Lakers to the finals and win the championship!"

"I know you all think it's extremely interesting to meet your old team in the playoffs, but this is just a series for me!"

Qin Feng said lightly, and his tone was very calm.

The world always likes to have a sense of expectation for these slightly dramatic scripts, but in fact this is life!

Life is always full of surprises.

Sometimes the script of life is really more bloody than those in those film and television dramas.

The reporters were also shocked when they heard this. They didn't expect Qin Feng to speak so simply, and he didn't save any face for his old club.

This actually made the reporters have strong expectations for the next round of the series.

I just don't know that the Thunder without Qin Feng can cross the mountain of the Spurs, which has been standing in the playoffs all year round.

......

Clippers interview room.

"Paul, what do you think of the players' performance in the last game?"

a reporter asked.

"It's terrible! This is one of the worst playoff games I have ever experienced in my career! The experience is even worse than the game I lost by 50 points!"

Paul pouted, a little self-deprecating.

"What do you think is the main reason for the Clippers' failure?"

a reporter asked.

"Obviously, we failed to guard against the two superstars Qin Feng and Kobe."

"The playoffs are a stage for superstars, and the two superstars of the Lakers completely dominated the game. There is nothing we can do about it."

"No matter what tactical defense is, it can't limit the performance of these two players."

Paul shook his head and said, his tone was full of disappointment, mixed with dissatisfaction with the head coach.

In his view, the Clippers were so passive throughout the series because the coach's tactical adjustments were not timely enough.

While that was one of the reasons for the loss of the series, Paul took it very seriously.

The head coach of the Clippers who was sitting next to him froze, and then showed a wry smile.

He is very clear that with Paul's words, his coaching career with the Clippers is likely to be over.

of course.

Even if Paul doesn't say this, the Clippers' management will look for someone to take the blame for this season's failure.

Just Paul's words will speed up the process.

The reporters asked a few more questions before ending their last interview with the Clippers this season.

the next day.

The Clippers officially announced that they will fire their boss Hollins and immediately start looking for a new head coach for the team.

This news quickly caused an uproar in Quanmi.

Many coaches and basketball experts in the industry are complaining about Hollins.

Facing the Lakers, not to mention Hollins is coaching, even if the "Red Leader" Auerbach is here, I'm afraid he won't be able to win!

of course.

Everyone is very clear about the unspoken rules in this industry, so everyone can scold the Clippers unscrupulously, because these words themselves are irrelevant.

This unspoken rule will continue in the future without any changes.

The news that the Clippers fired Hollins only sparked a heated discussion in Quanmi for a long time, but it was suppressed by the Thunder and Spurs in the Tianwangshan battle.

The game attracted worldwide attention.

The two teams played dimly and fiercely.

The suspense of the outcome of the game has been deadlocked until the last few minutes.

crucial moment.

The power of youth let the whole world see this vitality.

Durant and Westbrook, the two king bombers of the Thunder, stood up and dominated the game.

First, Durant made a three-pointer and scored 5 points in a row from a mid-range distance.

Then Westbrook broke through the penalty area for a layup and scored 2+1.

In less than 2 minutes, the two superstars led the team to a small climax of 8:2, from a tie to a 6-point lead in one fell swoop.

And these 6 points also laid the foundation for their victory.

During this period, all the Spurs pulled their hips, and the old guys finally had physical problems.

Even though Popovich pays great attention to protecting the physical strength of several veterans in terms of employment, how can he win the game if he doesn't give his all in this critical game?

Now it's all it takes, but the game hasn't been won yet.

It was still Mr. Duncan who was like a pinnacle in the penalty area, getting the chance to score 2 points.

Otherwise, the Spurs may fall even further behind.

In the last 2 minutes of the game, the Thunder stabilized the 6-point lead and did not give the Spurs another chance.

Finally the game is over.

116: 121.

The Thunder sat at home, defeated the Spurs by 4 points, won the battle of Tianwangshan, and brought the big score of the series to 3:2.

According to the official data provided by the nba, the team that won the battle of Tianwangshan in the history of the nba has a final promotion probability as high as 80%.

So it can be said that the Thunder have already entered the Western Conference Finals with one foot.

After two days of rest.

The two sides continued to play the sixth game of the series at the Spurs home court.

In this game, the Spurs also caused a lot of trouble for the Thunder by taking advantage of their home court, but the Thunder obviously didn't want to enter the tiebreaker.

Durant and Westbrook showed their power one after another, steadily helping the team establish a lead, and firmly suppressing the Spurs.

Popovich tried everything, but just couldn't catch up.

Facing the powerful impact of Durant and Westbrook, the Spurs' old lineup seemed a little weak.

After three quarters.

The Thunder have built a 15-point lead.

All Spurs fans are looking forward to a miracle in the fourth quarter, just like Tracy McGrady with 35 seconds and 13 minutes.

But the miracle did not happen after all.

The game is over.

125: 104.

The Thunder beat the Spurs by 21 points, eliminated their opponents with a big score of 4:2, advanced to the Western Conference Finals, and joined forces with the Lakers!

杜兰特24投14中，三分球6投3中，罚球4罚4中，高效的砍下35分8篮板3助攻的数据。

威少则是27投12中，三分球5投2中，罚球8罚8中，砍下34分9篮板9助攻2抢断的准三双数据。

Wang Zha teamed up and scored 69 points, sending off the Spurs very strongly.

And the most surprising thing about the Thunder is Westbrook's rapid growth. Compared with his performance in the regular season, the few games he played in the playoffs completely raised his expressiveness to another level.

This is also one of the important reasons why the Thunder were able to advance easily.

And next, they will face the Lakers led by their old friend Qin Feng!

It is worth mentioning that the Thunder have averaged 115.2 points per game in the playoffs so far, second only to the Lakers' 124.5 points in the entire league.

So the upcoming Western Conference Finals will be a very exciting round of offensive battles!
