Legend of Yi Emperor Rebirth

Chapter 657: One point behind

In the commentary of the major experts who commented on this game, the final game of the Western Conference Finals has officially started!

As soon as the game started, the Thunder restricted the Grizzlies' offense by defensive and rhythm.

In fact, it can be seen from the state of the entire team that the Thunder team is very determined to win this game, and the performance of the entire team on the defensive end is very positive!

"The Thunder played very well. I just said before the game started. The Grizzlies are a slow-paced team. At that time, you must sit up from the offensive rhythm. When the Grizzlies rarely have fast breaks, from this perspective, the slowest pace of the Grizzlies in the league is a bit of a waste of their ability to make turnovers. Hollins at the beginning of the season The willingness to speed up is not unfounded. It’s just a pity that the Grizzlies are still a team that lacks a way when they fall. Although there are at least more pawns than before, it’s a pity that their ability to hold the ball is not good enough. ."

"The Grizzlies' offensive statistics are also very deceptive. They have the 7th highest field goal percentage in the league, 4th with fewer turnovers, and 9th with more offensive rebounds. They seem to be a very comprehensive team. In terms of weight, the Grizzlies' offense The rebound rate is second only to the Pistons, the turnover rate is the 10th lowest, and the 101.3 shots per 100 possessions are the fourth highest in the league. Combined with the impressive shooting rate, it seems to be both quality and quantity!"

"However, a very serious problem. They rely heavily on two-pointers in sports battles, and their output in other areas is lackluster. The first is three-pointers. The rise of Mike Conley made the Grizzlies more accurate, but the lack of players led to the outside line. The open space is still insufficient, 17.1% of the three-pointers are at the bottom of the league. The backcourt will not break through, and the frontcourt is also limited. Randolph and Xiaojia’s free throws per game are equivalent to a Kevin Love or a grid. Liffin, the Grizzlies’ free throw ability is only slightly better than the Wizards."

"This is also when the Thunder are currently doing it. They basically have no defense on outside three-pointers. They are all squeezed inside, but the Grizzlies dare not try to shoot three-pointers, but in the crowded inside, they There is no super breaker like LeBron James or Dwyane Wade. After the space is suppressed, it is very dangerous for this team to play!"

Kenny Smith commented on the Grizzlies’ offense at the beginning of the game when the two teams were fighting against each other. After he said these words, it can be seen from the whole result that he was completely absent. Speak out!

More than 6 minutes before the entire first quarter, Mike Conley and Rudy Gay scored 6 points together. Oj Mayo simply didn't score at all!

The Thunder used Kevin Durant's throw and Westbrook's breakthrough, as well as Ibaka's offensive frame to score consecutive points, and played a 14-8 wave of attacks.

"Ibaka feels very good in this game too! He is completely out of the situation of being bullied by Randolph and Gasol in the two games!" Ibaka's activity in this game also allowed him. espn's Bill Walton's eyes lit up. He watched the first two games, but he watched Ibaka being bullied by the "black and white bears"!

We must win!

When the entire Thunder team played 7 minutes in the first quarter, they opened up a big gap, but their overall expression was still very serious. They knew that this unavoidable match was actually just now. At the beginning, because they know very well what kind of strength and resilience this Grizzlies team has, and such a team will never let them widen the gap so easily!

The Grizzlies will definitely counterattack next!

But!

In any case, the ultimate winner of this game must be us!

Kevin Durant thought to himself that he also made a direct breakthrough and caused damage, which expanded the score to 8 points!

"Beep!"

His breakthrough caused Hollins to call a timeout.

"Nice!"

The Thunder players went off the court one by one, followed by Kevin Durant's high-five, but Kevin Durant's expression remained unchanged, sitting down the court very seriously, drinking water in silence, and adjusting his breathing.

The audience at the scene also gave their support in time!

"Good job, but guys, the game has just begun, so I hope everyone can cheer up, don't think it's stable!"

Brooks didn't relax because of his 8-point lead. Because the Thunder are leading the field, he didn't make any defensive or offensive adjustments, but he still made some spurs.

After he finished speaking, the game started again!

In the next offensive round after the timeout ended, Mike Conley successfully attacked the basket and recovered two points for the Grizzlies!

And this offense scored, the entire Grizzlies players found a sense on the offensive end. First, Zach Randolph broke through and scored 4 points in a row, and then Gasol also scored 4 points with a penalty and a sudden, and other players also Follow along to contribute.

In addition, they also limited the Thunder's offense on the defensive end, and the Thunder basically didn't score in the following time.

"The Thunder's offense is very dependent on singles and fixed-point jumpers, especially the latter. The Thunder can beat the Lakers in the last round by relying on high-precision fixed-point jumpers. However, the Grizzlies are the league's second best defense against fixed-point jumpers. For the team, they suppressed the opponent's shooting percentage at 30.1%. In the previous two playoff games, the reason the Grizzlies won was to suppress the Thunder's fixed-point jumper to 32%."

"Now that they have recovered this state again, the Thunder are in danger now!"

In Kenny Smith’s view, the Grizzlies were able to push the Thunder to Game 7. Obviously they had a lot of preparation, and the biggest preparation in the end was naturally the defense of the Thunder’s fixed-point jumpers and singles. In this regard The Grizzlies are their strengths, and now their strengths are just limiting the Thunder.

Kenny Smith said again that the Thunder didn't score well in the next time. Every goal was stumbled. This also made the fans who were cheering for them on the scene suddenly silenced. There is no sound!

Kevin Durant was very anxious, but his anxiousness did not help the team. Instead, it got the team into trouble. On the contrary, the Grizzlies played better and will take the lead in the next time. Consolidated, and at the end of the first quarter, the Grizzlies led by 25 to 19 by 6 points!

That is to say, after the timeout, this team caught up with the 8 points behind, and opened a 6-point difference. Adding up and down, a total of 14 points!

"The Grizzlies have such terrible defensive ability! It seems that the Thunder are really bad luck now!"

"I really don't know what to say. The Thunder originally entered the finals steadily, but they didn't seize the opportunity. Instead, they let this team find their rhythm and let them play better!"

"I think if the Thunder do not chase points and continue to be consumed by the Grizzlies, then it will become very clear who will win the game in the end, because the Grizzlies will inevitably become more and more aggressive, and the Thunder will definitely It’s getting more nervous as you fight 1"

...

At the end of the first quarter, in the face of the current Thunder, many fans who support them are not optimistic about them, and the atmosphere within the Thunder team is indeed a bit bad. During the timeout, Kevin Durant even kept his head down. Sitting.

"I think we played very well, we are working hard in the right direction, I mean, we can achieve the final victory, of course, I have great confidence in my guys!"

Hollins was very satisfied with the performance of the entire Grizzlies when facing espn's inter-season interview. In his opinion, the Grizzlies will inevitably create miracles today!

The time for the second quarter of the game soon began. What surprised many fans and many commentators was that Brooks did not change much when the team's offense was sluggish, and he still gave the ball according to the original idea. The team has entered the stage of substitution. He did not forcefully leave the main players on the court because the team is now behind!

However, what did not make the fans and the commentators think is that James Harden, who did not play well in the first two games, came forward at this time and played a very good performance from the beginning of the game. He used a breakthrough to hit three. He scored 7 points in one go for points, free throws and mid-range shots.

"Wow, an unexpected situation. This is a situation that no one thought of. At this time, this team actually stood up as a savior. James Harden, the best sixth man in the NBA in the 2011~2012 season, proved it. His value, his 7 points are hard-earned, but also very precious 7 points. If the Thunder wins the game, then this will be the clarion call for the Thunder to blow the counterattack. Wow, there is no one. The thing that came to mind happened, the Thunder team stood up in this game is James Harden, he proved why he is the best sixth man in the NBA!"

In the passionate commentary of the live commentator, Brooks brought the entire main lineup back to the court at this time, and the re-launched Thunder began to gradually regain the feel. However, the stage was still James Harden’s. He once again hit a three-pointer and scored 10 points in a row. The entire audience greeted him with thunderous cheers. After that, "Second Brother" Wei Shao broke through, jumped and scored 9 consecutive free throws. After that, Durant finally scored again, hitting a mid-range shot.

After hitting this goal, Kevin Durant’s entire expression has also improved a lot. When he just failed to make a contribution to the team, his whole heart was hanging, and the reason is very simple. He doesn't want to see the team being reversed with a 3-1 lead. This is also the reason. Although this game is not mentioned, the pressure on everyone on the Thunder team is very high!

Fortunately, Harden's performance regained the passion of the whole team. Kevin Durant vowed that if they finally win this game, he will definitely run over and kiss his good third brother!

After all, his outbreak was too timely!

However, under the offensive of the Thunder, the Grizzlies did not confuse themselves. Randolph on the inside and Conley broke through on the outside to help the team stabilize the situation.

But the Thunder's scoring efficiency is also very high. After halftime, the Thunder recovered the difference and led the Grizzlies 46-43.

The Thunder took the lead once again, and the atmosphere of the audience during the intermission was good. Many fans shook with the passionate music of the scene!

The current situation of the team does not make them nervous, anyhow they are ahead!

...

After changing places to fight again, the offensive status of the two teams was good, Randolph stormed and free throws, Conley continuously staged throwing stunts. As for the Thunder, Ibaka made two mid-range shots and Durant also scored three points. You come and I go between the two teams, the score is always biting. Halfway through the quarter, Wei Shao made a quick break, Sefrosa scored a three-pointer, and the Thunder once opened the point difference. However, their scoring momentum did not continue. Instead, the Grizzlies played consecutively. Gasol made a layup. Oj Mayo, who hadn't done much before, also hit a three-pointer to establish an advantage again. After three quarters, the Thunder trailed the Grizzlies 65-68.

At this time, the fans on the scene were obviously a little panicked. After all, there is still time for the last quarter of the game. It is a bit unfavorable how much the score is behind at this time!

Fortunately, the players of the Thunder did not have much impact because they were behind. The reason is very simple. They are all involved in the game now. Not many people still think about what to do if they lose. They think about it now. How did you go to overtake the score!

In short, in one sentence, they have entered the state of the game, and there is no time to think about other things!

In the last quarter, the Thunder's sudden misfire attack in the second half of the third quarter still did not improve much~lightnovelpub.net~ Especially the two strong points of Durant and Wei Shao have not been fully utilized. Instead, the Grizzlies played vigorously. Gasol responded. Udrih made consecutive mid-range shots. Lee also hit three-pointers to extend his advantage to 8 points.

"I have said this many times. This is the Thunder. They had a big problem in the fourth quarter. Today the Grizzlies solved their problem of not winning in the third quarter. They played very well and finished the score. The Thunder overtakes, but the Thunder are a bit unsatisfactory. As you can see from their current situation in the fourth quarter, they don't know what to do at all!"

In the espn commentary, Bill Walton frowned and watched the Thunder players run around like headless flies on the court, unable to score a goal at all, so he frowned!

Although for these two teams, he didn't have a team that wanted them to win, but he didn't want to see the Thunder lose just like that. After all, these guys are really good!

"Beep!"

In the fourth quarter, there were 4 minutes and 30 seconds left in the final game. After the Thunder failed to score another offense and was scored by the Grizzlies, the point difference was stretched to 10 points, Brooks called a timeout!
