Guard With a Knife

Nine hundred and fifty-nine: [We just want to go beyond 2001]

[A fatal error occurred in the last chapter. The Thunder should have home court advantage in this series. Fortunately, there is only one place, which does not affect reading. It has been revised and is hereby corrected. Thank you everyone! 】

-

Faced with Duke Snoopy's sudden explosion on the scoring end, the Thunder's reaction was caught off guard.

In the past regular season, the two teams played against each other three times. Snoopy did not show this side. Even when the Black Mamba was injured, he always appeared in the image of supporting the rebounding and defending with one hand. And tonight, he showed his offensive claws.

This claw is also particularly amazing.

You can say that Snoopy doesn't have a lot of offensive methods, and his efficiency is not very high. However, no one can deny that he is a super scorer. I think he has the strength to score 40 points in any game, as long as he willing.

Reggie Miller still didn't forget to stress during the timeout.

McBrin, who was sitting next to him, agreed very much, and said: The significance of the Lakers getting Snoopy is no less than when they traded from the Magic to Shaquille O'Neal.

This sentence is okay to say on TV.

But if you say it in front of Kupchak or Bass Jr., these two managers who are idle all day long have to tear their mouths apart: Although the Sharks are dominant on the court, they are better than the current Snoopy. Even stronger. But, he's a troublemaker off the court, right? Cause trouble everywhere, let the management have a headache. Unlike Snoopy, Snoopy is decathlon, not only uniting players in the locker room, but also grasping personnel arrangements, developing a tactical system, and making an indelible contribution to signings.

Such a player does all the work of the general manager, head coach, public relations manager, and core players by himself. How dare you compare him to O'Neal?

Isn't this looking for a draw?

...

After the Thunder changed, they can clearly feel that they have become more harmonious.

I don't know what Coach Brooks said during the timeout. Anyway, Westbrook started interacting with Durant, and the two felt a little harmonious.

When they are close, the Thunder's offensive efficiency immediately improves.

And showing a trend of chasing points.

When they narrowed the point difference to 11 points, the Lakers requested a substitution.

Snoopy led this group of elderly tour groups to fight against the full-blooded Thunder for nine minutes. Instead of falling behind, they widened the point difference. This gave Kobe and Nash a very valuable rest time.

The Lakers still made ups and downs this time.

Mike Brown adjusted all the starting lineups in place, and put up a stance to fight the Thunder openly.

At this time, Lei Ting actually had the temperament of a mourning soldier. When Coach Brooks called a timeout, he didn't arrange any tactics. He just told the two core players: Can you really accept Snoopy on your head with peace of mind? Why don't you work together to kill him at this time and save your upcoming miserable careers!

He put the ugly words into the hearts of the two of them. As a result, the two began to unite and form a joint fight against the enemy.

They are indeed one of the two best young players in the league today, and they really have a wonderful chemical reaction together.

But, the sad thing is.

Kevin Durant plus Westbrook can't compete with the energetic Kobe Bryant plus Snoopidoo. Regardless of whether it is a two-on-two heads-up or a five-on-five match, the probability of these two winning is lower than that of Zijin Shuangqiang.

The other three players of the Lakers are not inferior to the other three players of the Thunder.

Whiteside has no pressure on Nick Collison. Although Carlos Boozer is not good on the defensive end, he can still play high jumpers on the offensive end.

Plus the increasingly demonic Steve Nash.

The Lakers still firmly locked the lead in the last three minutes of the second quarter: Even if Westbrook and Durant set off a wave of offensive, Snoopy and Kobe can always return the same level of attack.

This shows their self-defense and counterattack capabilities, and also shows the current background of the Zijin Army.

The current No. 1 player in the league, plus the former No. 1 player in the league, plus the former No. 1 point guard in the league.

This backcourt lineup is enough to crush the opponent.

I don't know why so many people thought the Lakers didn't have the strength to compete for the championship at the beginning of the season. How could paranoid players like Snoopy and Kobe let the championship slip away, and Steve He came here for the championship, if it wasn’t for the honor, he could spend his whole life in Phoenix, enjoying more money and more applause!”

McBrin said this sentence is also a bit of an afterthought.

It's not that he didn't criticize the Lakers at the beginning, but it was not as fierce as others.

The first half ended quickly, and the Lakers entered the locker room with a 13-point lead.

The second half came soon, and Kevin Durant and Westbrook still tried their best to fight for a miracle.

But, obviously.

The dedicated Purple and Gold aren't about to let any miracles happen. They frantically made too many adjustments and exercises in the second half of the regular season. It can be said that they have been preparing for the playoffs since January.

Now, the Thunder want to tell them a miracle.

Then, the meaning of hard work is too cheap.

The second half of the third quarter was the watershed of the game. At the beginning of the second half, the Thunder once narrowed the point difference to 6 points.

At this time, both the Thunder and the Juniors tried to recover the score and even overtake.

But in the process of impact, Snoopy seized the opportunity. When Kobe Bryant locked Westbrook, he was like a cheetah hunting quickly, and instantly slapped Master Feiwei's basketball.

Then he sprinted with the ball and took off directly one meter beyond the three-point line... Shua!

The basketball fell into the net.

This unreasonable steal three-pointer brought the score back to 9 points.

Later, Snoopy forced Durant to hit the iron on the defensive end, took off the rebound, returned to the offense, and handed the ball to the Black Mamba, who entered the paint and forced a 2+1.

The point difference widened to more than double digits again.

Immediately afterwards, Nash also contributed a three-pointer.

The ability of the Lakers Trident to seize opportunities is unrivaled in the world. As long as the opponent has a slight error, they can immediately realize it.

In the end, when the two teams entered the fourth quarter, the score of the two sides was 88:73.

The Lakers led by 15 points.

Have you noticed? Since Los Angeles entered the playoffs, it has always been a three-quarter game. Reggie Miller emphasized during a timeout.

This is strength, just like Michael Jordan. The god of basketball never tie-breaks! McBrin flattered himself.

Bill Walton said sourly: It's only 15 points behind, and the Thunder still have 12 minutes to prove themselves. It's still too early to tell the winner.

Frankly speaking, Bill Walton is a bit of a dead duck.

Now, even the audience in front of the TV can see it: the Thunder have played their full strength, and it is difficult to do better, but the Lakers still overwhelm them.

The fourth quarter is coming soon.

The Lakers still used a rotation lineup for the first four minutes, the difference is that they replaced Whitesett and Milicic at the same time. The outside line is matched with Korver and Artest.

This is actually an opportunity for the Thunder to chase points.

However, they didn't catch it.

Because little Artest became a three-pointer again, he hit three three-pointers in four minutes, and by the way, he used a three-step slow disco rhythm to make Ibaka a foul.

The efficiency value exploded so much that Brother Wu Sheng covered his head: Is this still the familiar little Artest? Did you secretly eat Wilgang during your break?

He was skeptical.

However, this suspicion has no basis in fact.

Anyway, the Thunder really wanted to cry. They were killed once by Artest during the regular season, and now they are looking forward to the rotation time with great difficulty. They all started the game neatly and braved the physical crisis to fight hard, but Artest came out and let himself go.

What's the point of this? The point difference went straight to thirty points.

Four minutes later, before Kobe Bryant and Steve Nash played, the Thunder announced that they would not play.

Brooks put on a substitute player and invited the two depressed and unconvinced young masters to the bench... Now is not the time to be arrogant, and he will definitely not be able to get the score back tonight. With the main force, it is estimated that the point difference will continue to widen, and the scene will not look good. And... Playing with emotions and fatigue is easy to get injured, and health is the most important thing.

Therefore, this battle between the second and third in the west, which was originally thought to be Mars hitting the earth, ended in garbage time.

The Lakers even killed the Thunder without bloodshed.

This shock to other strong teams in the NBA is far greater than sweeping the Nuggets in the first round.

After all, this is the Thunder, and this is the Thunder that won 60 games in the regular season. Even they were beaten up like elementary school students, how strong are the Lakers? Do they still have shortcomings?

Such emotions happened in San Antonio, in Chicago, and in Miami.

After the game, Snoopy did not accept interviews with reporters. He went straight to chat with Westbrook.

This game has dealt too much blow to this old classmate. His progress this season is very obvious. He has been selected to the NBA's best third team, squeezing out Paul, Deron and other famous point guards.

But... After fighting tonight, he realized that the old classmate who was left behind by him and couldn't even catch up with the taillights was now far behind him. Last year, he felt that although his stats were not as good as Snoopy's and his record was not as strong as his, he would definitely win in a heads-up.

But tonight, even the heads-up lost.

Russell really wanted to find someone with broad shoulders to cry on.

No, isn't Snoopy here?

Seeing Snoopy, he couldn't cry anymore.

The two then went to Westbrook's home.

On the way, Master Wei suddenly said something that made Duge's hairs burst: You said that the two of us were suddenly hit by a meteorite at this time... Who will win the series between the Thunder and the Lakers!

Doug suddenly thumped when he said this.

I thought to myself, next time you speak, can you stop panting so much, and don't pause where you shouldn't.

Then maybe the Thunder will win. Duge replied seriously.

The young master Wei who said this was overjoyed at first, but then he felt that something was wrong?

Are you praising yourself, or are you scolding me?

I really want to put some laxatives in your wine, so that you can't play in the next game.

Back home, when Nina asked the chef to prepare the meal, Master Wei couldn't help talking nonsense again.

This made Duge remind him angrily: There will be no game tomorrow. With my physique, do you think even taking some laxatives will affect the game the day after tomorrow?

Nina next to her burst into laughter.

Everyone is a student. Although they are all NBA superstars now, their status and status are completely different from those at the beginning. But... get together, still the original style of conversation.

Nina, you can actually pack your clothes. If there are no accidents, you can go back to Los Angeles after the game the day after tomorrow. Dug joked.

If it was in the past, Master Wei would definitely refute it vigorously.

But tonight, when Snoopy said those words. He was silent.

Because he realized that the Thunder may not be able to beat the Lakers, the Zijin Army is too strong, and he even thinks that the current Lakers are the most powerful Lakers in history.

There are no shortcomings!

From defense to offense, there is no way to beat them: Even if you give him a lever beyond the Milky Way, there is no way to lift the Lakers without a fulcrum.

Looking at the silent Russell, Doug didn't know what to say, but lightly touched his glass with him, and then drank a little red wine: both of them are very self-disciplined professional players.

Immediately afterwards, I went to the indoor arena in the mansion to single out.

It was hard to believe that the news spread, the two had just come out of a fierce playoffs, turned around and started a heads-up match again. And the degree of physical confrontation is not inferior to the official competition.

What two monsters.

...

The news of the Lakers defeating the Thunder became big news that night. This means that any sandboxing done before the start of the playoffs is destroyed. The Lakers have jumped directly from the original No. 5 seed to the No. 1 seed.

For the influx of praise and flattery, the Lakers players showed a completely different attitude from other teams, and they accepted it with open arms.

Half a year ago, we knew how strong we were. It seemed like a big fuss to others, but to us, there was really no surprise at all. Snoopy has joined the Lakers. What else is there? Impossible? Kupchak even lifted his legs to reveal his orange socks when he appeared on Conan: a sign of his taste.

In fact, he's spent a lot of time thinking about his dressing taste.

Anyway, there was nothing else to do.

If Kupchak was making a show on TV, then little Artest in Goose City was even more unscrupulous.

Five months ago, I felt that there was something wrong with my finger. Although I already had a championship ring, why didn't I get an extra one. If I went bankrupt in the future, I could still put it up for auction. This is The ring I took with Snoopy can be auctioned for 40,000 to 50,000 US dollars. Little Artai was prepared for danger in times of peace, which was touching.

And if it is said that Artest's words are only based on his personal embarrassment.

Then the Black Mamba's words directly triggered an explosion of public opinion.

Our biggest goal now is to prove that we are not weaker than the purple and gold team in 2001. I have never been a person who sleeps on the credit book and then jumps out to point out the country every now and then. Even if I am not at my peak, I still have one. The heart to pursue progress.

Bryant's words not only dissed Shaquille O'Neal, who had been fighting with him before.

At the same time, they are still announcing: they want to sweep the Thunder and win the championship.

After all, the 2001 Lakers won the championship with a 15:1 winning percentage. (At that time, the first round was 5 games and 3 wins)

If you want to surpass them, you can only win the championship at 16:0.

The media in Oklahoma jumped out to choke immediately. They thought Kobe was too deceitful and asked the team to snipe the Lakers in the second game.

And ESPN also acted as a provocative role. They included the Thunder, Spurs, and potential opponents Bulls and Heat, and made a program comparing their strengths.

In the program, Shark O'Neill vowed: The Black Mamba is out of his mind. He is too arrogant to say something beyond 2001. I think he will encounter Waterloo in Oklahoma soon. In the younger generation Among the players, Durant and Westbrook are not vegetarians. They will definitely give the Lakers some color!

I repeat again: the 2001 Lakers are invincible!
