The remaining set of matchups in the West is the Lakers facing the Thunder.

The Lakers are naturally no longer the defending champions in the past two years. They don’t have the hard power to fight for the championship, but because this team has Kobe Bryant, this team is still considered by all experts to create possibilities. Team.

Of course, in the eyes of more people, this game is a series of changes in the Western crown. In most people's eyes, after this round of the series, the Thunder will become a powerful team in the West in the next few years. From the perspective of these people, when talking about the top teams in the West in the future, the Thunder must be a name that everyone can't avoid.

The Lakers will gradually go to a trough after this round of the series, but the transfer of power is like this. No team can fight time. The Celtics had eight consecutive championships, and the two in the 90s. The Bulls, which won three consecutive championships for the first time, have now become the dust of history?

The Lakers are not that great yet, and for this reason, they naturally can't escape the loss of time.

However, in spite of this, in the first game of the two teams, the final winner was a bit beyond everyone's expectations. The final winner of the first game was the Lakers.

Kobe Bryant scored a total of 28 points in this game, especially in the crucial fourth quarter. He scored 15 points alone. In the end, under his play, the Lakers scored a 108-105, 3-point difference from The Thunder's away game brought the series' home-court advantage to Los Angeles.

"We are not old yet. Two years ago, we were championships. We have the glory that belongs to us. This is not something that anyone can easily replace. Therefore, if we want to beat us, we must first be psychologically prepared. Well, we are not so easy to defeat, and we may even defeat all our opponents!"

Kobe's domineering words after the game also excited the fans after the game:

"That's why I like Kobe. He is always full of confidence, and this confidence always allows him to perform some impossible performances. He is so powerful, yes, what I want to say is, Thunder The team is really great, but if Kobe is unwilling to put down the crown on his head, then no one can let him take off the crown!"

"Many people are saying that this era belongs to Yi, belongs to LeBron, belongs to Kevin Durant, many people are saying that this is an era of small forwards, they deliberately ignored Kobe, but don't forget , Black Mamba just broke the record of Michael Jordan in the All-Star Game. He became the player with the highest total score in the All-Star Game. Okay! Some people may say that this is a qualification, but listen, Kobe Bryant is still breaking some records. Before he stops his footsteps, please still treat him as the most terrifying guy in this league, otherwise, he will definitely suffer!"

"This is Kobe, and this is why he is called the closest person to Michael Jordan. Don't underestimate him, he will let you pay not only the home court advantage, but possibly even more!"

...

Kobe's fans were very excited about Kobe's performance in the first game, because they read too many reports about this team before the game and they couldn't refute it.

The performance of the Lakers this season is indeed not as good as the Thunder, and the overall strength is indeed not as good as the Thunder on paper. From the perspective of the talent of the lineup, the Lakers were also full of talent at the beginning. A group of veterans!

It is precisely because they cannot refute that these guys can only secretly cheer for Kobe and his Lakers. They hope to see Kobe win, so that they can give out this bad breath, and the truth is Kobe They did it, and the time after the first game of the series became their carnival time.

But what they didn’t expect was that these experts and fans were still not optimistic about the Lakers. They believed that the final victory would belong to the Thunder, because they felt that the Lakers did not have the ability to defeat the Thunder. Maybe Kobe counted as one. , But it is impossible for him to contribute 14 points in the last quarter of every game. This is too difficult. In the eyes of many experts, only Yi Jianlian and perhaps Kobe Bryant as a young man can do this. It can also be done, but now, he can't do it, his physical stamina limits him to do such things!

From the end of the first game, Kobe sat on the bench and rested for a long time before standing up, you can see that he no longer has the physical fitness that year when he scored 81 points in a single game!

He is getting old.

The experts still support the Thunder, which made Kobe fans feel a little unreasonable, but in the second game they found that these experts might be right!

Because of the second game, the Thunder won and won very easily. Kobe failed to keep up with the previous game in this game and scored 14 consecutive points in the last quarter!

He still scored 32 points in this game, more than in the previous game, but he only scored 8 points in the last quarter. This number is already considered high for other stars, but for Kobe, for the whole ball. For Kobe, whose team is all attached to him, such a contribution is not enough to help the team win!

The score was evened 1-1!

In the eyes of the Lakers fans, this means that the Lakers still hold the home court advantage, so they are optimistic, because they have to answer the home court next, and under the watchful eyes of the home fans, they believe that the Lakers will continue to win.

Going to Oklahoma with a 3-1 score.

I have to say that the Lakers fans are still a bit accurate.

The final score is really 3-1!

But ~lightnovelpub.net~ The lead is the Thunder, who have completed two consecutive victories at the Lakers' home court.

The hero of the two-game winning streak is Kevin Durant, the Thunder team's tepid performance in the first two games of the series, who scored 36 and 40 points in the two games respectively.

Helped the Thunder with super offensive firepower for two consecutive games and retreated from the Lakers' home court. Moreover, they were not just as simple as regaining their home court advantage. They also regained 3 match points. In the three games, they only need to win the next game to win.

The Lakers fought desperately in the fifth game of the series. Unfortunately, in the end, Kevin Durant used a mid-range shot to expand the point difference to 15 points and sealed the victory.

In this game, Kevin Durant scored another 35 points, becoming the first player in the history of the Thunder to score more than 35 points in three consecutive games in the playoffs!

4-1!

The Lakers are out.
