Legend of Yi Emperor Rebirth

Chapter 527: Western Championship

The game begins!

The Thunder and the Mavericks directly tore off their polite faces before the game and fought each other on the court.

The two teams didn’t really have any room for each other. They fought together from the first second of the game. Headed by Stebrook and Kevin Durant, they are both very hot.

After a short stalemate at the beginning, the Thunder began to gain an advantage under the leadership of the "King Bomb Combination".

Kevin Durant and Westbrook are obviously the ones who want to win.

Especially Kevin Durant, from the beginning of the state, can make people feel that he is the one who really wants to win this game.

Of course, there is no reason why he is so fighting spirit.

As a newcomer in the same period as Yi Jianlian, he was ranked ahead of Yi Jianlian. It is said that he should have a better career than Yi Jianlian.

But the result was obviously not what he wanted.

Last season, the Thunder reached the Western Conference playoffs. This is the reward that the Thunder gained after three years of poor performance, and they eventually won the Spurs 4-1. You know, no one was optimistic at the time. They can beat the Spurs, even if their regular season record was better than the Spurs, even if he and Westbrook have reached the star level, but these guys are still not optimistic about them!

Fortunately, in the end they slapped these guys with the result!

This season, the Thunder have maintained their original core lineup. The important thing is that Durant and Westbrook are still improving. The two are getting closer and closer, making their opponents undefeable. In addition, they just entered the league in 2009. James Harden has emerged this season and he has made significant progress! In terms of his growth, the Thunder's investments in 2007, 2008 and 2009 have been reported, and the precision of the Thunder team's management has become a benchmark that everyone praises in the industry for a while!

Harden manages the role of the sixth man very well, while Ibaka focuses on defense!

The Thunder this season can be said to be excellent offensive and defensive, and has the ability to win the championship.

Although everyone thinks they are still newcomers, all Thunder fans and Thunder players themselves think they are capable of winning the championship!

One of the most confident is naturally Durant. Yi Jianlian has won the championship. Although he has lost a lot of competition with Yi Jianlian this season, it can be seen from his sacrifice for the team that his goal is to truly honor. Go up against Yi Jianlian. Otherwise, with his scoring ability of more than 33 points per game last season, he can continue to take the ball alone. He will never score more than 29 points per game this season. Part of the ball went to Russell Westbrook!

The rise of the latter is also the real reason why the Thunder can go so far in this year's playoffs!

Few people know that in the first half of the regular season, the Thunder have been in the top two in the Western Conference, and their performance is very stable. In the playoffs, they continued this momentum, cutting two consecutively from the first round. The team, all the way to the final West Finals.

This is the first time Durant has played in the Western Conference Finals. This is also the first time Westbrook has stood on the stage of the Western Conference Finals. This is the first time fans in Oklahoma City feel the atmosphere of the Western Conference Finals.

While everyone was discussing Yi Jianlian’s help to the Knicks’ rise, Kevin Durant did the same thing. He made the Thunder, a rookie that was only a migration from the league three years ago, transformed into the entire Western Conference. Strong team.

At the same time, he also made himself a highly anticipated superstar. In this season, he became the starter of the All-Star Weekend, letting all NBA fans know that there is a team in the West that is the Oklahoma City Thunder. There is a super star named Kevin Durant!

After reaching the Western Conference Finals, Kevin Durant's ambitions have become even greater!

He hopes to reach the final finals in one go!

And this time facing the Mavericks, this team that has repeatedly dropped the chain in the playoffs made him feel that the reason for his desire to reach the finals is not so difficult.

On the contrary, he even felt that playing the Mavericks in the Western Conference finals would be a lot easier in the previous few games.

So many fans, including experts, are not optimistic that they can win the Mavericks, but they themselves feel that this is the best time for the Thunder to enter the finals!

But it turned out that they lost the first two games of the series in a row. This was a big blow to him, especially to Kevin Durant. He really realized that the Mavericks are the most in the West this year. Strong opponents, especially Nowitzki, his state in this year's playoffs is really terrifying!

Kevin Durant had to use this word to describe Dirknowitzki, and he believes that all his opponents who have played against him will also use this word to describe this year's Dirknowitzki.

However, this does not prevent Kevin Durant from wanting to win their belief, he must win them!

The Thunder also recovered two consecutive games in the back.

When Kevin Durant thought it could be reversed, it was Dirk Nowitzki again, who scored 28 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists with an incredible and magical performance!

In this era of data explosion, Dirk’s data is not terrifying, but every point of Dirk is very important. In the past, Dirk Nowitzki, who was detained by the media at critical moments, was dropped. The best part of this year's playoffs is that the more he gets to the critical moment, the more he can score!

The battle for the king of heaven is lost, but Kevin Durant wants to win it!

The reason here is not only because he wants to catch up with Yi Jianlian, but also because a series of things that happened in the series made them very upset!

In the second game of the series, the Dallas Mavericks beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 108-89. This is the second game the Mavericks won in the series. The big score has come to 2-0. And the fans felt that the Mavericks would continue to beat the Thunder with a big score in the third game, but the Thunder beat their opponents tenaciously 85-84 thrilling.

However, the victory of this game did not bring much attention to the Thunder, instead it caused a large number of spectators to criticize. Many fans believed that the Thunder won unfairly!

Because of this game, all fans believe that the referee is biased towards the Thunder! The worse thing is that the NBA officially announced the penalty report for the last two minutes of the game a day later, which also confirmed this situation.

According to the penalty report, the referee had four missed judgments in the last two minutes, three of which were in favor of the Thunder.

For example, in the last 41.1 seconds of the fourth quarter, the two sides drew 81. Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook missed a three-pointer. Mavericks backup center Majori pressed his arm on the shoulder of Thunder center Adams when he was fighting for a rebound, which affected the opponent's rebound. , This should be whistled for a foul, but the referee did not whistle. This rebound was eventually won by the Thunder Russell Westbrook. Westbrook quickly broke through the layup in the next offensive bout and scored two valuable points, helping the Thunder gain a 2-point lead.

In the last 26.5 seconds of the fourth quarter, the Thunder are bound to win this offense. Center Adams and power forward Ibaka both had screen fouls, which affected the forward path of Mavericks guard Matthews to chase Durant. Both actions should be whistled for fouls, but the referee did not whistled. Although Adams and Ibaka set up a very good barrier for Durant, Durant, who had a bad shooting touch in this game, still failed to seize the opportunity. Two consecutive jumpers ended in iron.

In the final 7.1 seconds of the fourth quarter, the Mavericks led by one point 85-84. Thunder guard Waiters directly pushed Mavericks player Matthews to the ground. This should have been punished for a foul. The referee did not blow the whistle. Then Westbrook fouled Felton, and Felton missed two free throws at a critical moment. The Thunder retained the chance to kill, but Durant and Westbrook failed to make consecutive offenses. At the last moment, Adams grabbed an offensive rebound and completed a tip-up. The referee revised the judgment after reviewing the video, and they finally thought that Adams had run out of game time when he made a tip. Today’s penalty report confirmed this again. When the basketball left Adams's hand, the game time had indeed run out.

The victory in the third game was not easy for the Thunder. In the second game of the series, they lost to the Mavericks 70-108 for a full 38 points, but they returned home and won. Kevin Durant, the head of the Thunder, also said after the game, don't try to beat us easily.

Increasing sense of responsibility is also a change for Kevin Durant as the core of the Thunder team. This year he really has become more and more aware of being a core player!

It is a pity that his statement became a joke among fans after the official report from the league. Everyone thought it was just a blind cat and a dead mouse on the Thunder!

"Do you still think the referee will favor you so obviously in the next game?"

"Stop telling jokes, Kevin Durant, you will never be Yi Jianlian's opponent, and you will never want to achieve what he can do!"

"I am actually very optimistic about Kevin Durant's growth trajectory. He is very hopeful to become the best small forward in the league under Yi Jianlian, especially after LeBron James is old. Unfortunately, from the current situation, Yi Jianlian won the championship. It puts too much pressure on him, which makes him eager for success instead of accepting the facts. They are no better than the Mavericks. They are obviously favored by the referee, but they still show that they won by strength. I don’t understand the appearance of the game!"

It is also the reason why the ridicule of these fans has remained in Kevin Durant's heart, so he wants to win all the games so much!

After they won the fourth game, Kevin Durant once saw the hope of winning. Unfortunately, he fought to the end in the fifth game. He scored 38 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, but did not return a victory!

This made him very frustrated, but he didn't give up immediately, because they still had a chance. As long as they win two games in a row, they still have the hope of winning!

Drag to the seventh game!

Kevin Durant has made up his mind to delay the seventh game!

This is why he played so fiercely as soon as he came up in today's life and death situation!

It’s just a pity that the Thunder only took the lead in this game today. In the following time, the Mavericks relied on a steady and steady play and slowly mastered the rhythm of the game. The score difference slowly widened to more than 10 points during this period. .

What makes Kevin Durant even more frustrated is that his "second brother", his good brother who has made great progress this season, entered the frequent ironing in the third quarter. He wants to ask Lasse. El Westbrook, why do you have such a strong ability to hit the basket, but you always make jump shots in front of the basket?

Go in!

But he didn’t want to ruin the brotherhood with Russell Westbrook. This was only Russell’s third season with the Thunder. Kevin Durant recalled himself last year and didn’t want to blame Russell. Sbrook what!

In the frenzy of the "second brother", the Thunder also lost hope of winning.

The most crucial sixth game, the Thunder lost!

Final 4-2!

The Mavericks overpowered the Thunder to advance to the finals!

In these six games, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com has three games where the score difference is less than 6 points, and the Mavericks have the last laugh every time.

To talk about PK in the playoffs, master duel, victory or defeat often depends on the performance at the last moment. In the first game, Dirk Nowitzki staged a lore in the last 1 second, making the Thunder a 1-point gap; in the second game, in the last 20 seconds, Terry scored a layup, 99-100. Harden then made two free throws, Terry made two equalizer three-pointers, and the Thunder lost again. In the fourth game, the Thunder won without discussion; in the last 5 minutes and 47 seconds of the fifth game, Kevin Durant completed a 2+1 offense. The Thunder still led 91-88, but then they missed a field goal in 8 sports and again. The Mavericks had the last laugh when the night was not guaranteed. The Mavericks are clearly superior in execution at critical moments, and they have shown a mature side.

From Durant and Nowitzki's peak confrontation, Durant averaged 39.8 minutes per game in 6 games, averaged 25 points and 6.3 rebounds per game, shooting 44.6%, and 28.3 points per game in the regular season. 8.0 rebounds and 49.6% shooting percentage dropped.

Dirk Nowitzki averaged 26.5 points and 6.3 rebounds per game, shooting 44.2% from the field, which is a certain improvement over the regular season's 21.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 45.7% shooting percentage. Obviously Nowitzki is the postseason. The game saved the strength.

In other words, Dirk Nowitzki, who entered the playoffs, started in the mode of slaying gods!

It is also worth mentioning that in this series, Nowitzki surpassed Ewing to rank 10th in the historical defensive rebounding list of the playoffs. In the historical free throw list of the NBA playoffs, his ranking surpassed El. King Baylor and Bill Russell moved to tenth place.
