Chapter 270 Western Conference Finals, Here We Come
This time Scott Brooks can't help hesitating anymore, now it's clear, facing Serge Ibaka with 5 fouls, if you keep him on the court, the Clippers are not asking him The end is so simple, but let him play.
The Thunder, without Serge Ibaka, made a lot of mistakes in the air defense. In the first round he went down, Chris Paul and Blake Griffin came out in the pick-and-roll cooperation. The long-lost lob catch.
Following the Chris Paul-Blake Griffin pairing, Anson and Kenyon Martin came up with an identical lob combo, Kenyon Martin's run was more tricky than a young Blake Griffin's And concealment, and the moment he received the ball, this 30-year-old player showed his sharpest fangs straight into the heart of the Thunder at that moment.
The Thunder's three young men are very helpless. They are all top offensive players, but when it comes to defense, apart from An Sheng, a perverted guy, there are no young players who have shown their offensive and defensive skills as soon as they entered the league. While focusing more on their talents on offense, they forgot to give full play to their talents on the defensive end.
This has led to the current situation. Once Serge Ibaka is off the court, they are particularly weak against pick-and-rolls and air cuts. They can still face the Clippers' tyrannical defense. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Kevin Durant had already scored 30 points this night.But this did not have much impact on the Clippers.
The Clippers only need to keep the point difference at about 10 points and enter the fourth quarter. What's more, it seems that the Clippers' offensive efficiency is significantly higher, and they committed 5 fouls in the second half of the fourth quarter. When Serge Ibaka made his appearance again, the score had reached 102:87, which was equal to the fact that the score recovered from the indiscriminate bombing at the beginning of the third quarter had been eroded by the Clippers.
6 minutes, 15 points. It cannot be said that there is no hope. After all, in last year's playoffs, the Heat played a black 3-minute game against the Bulls in the Eastern Conference Finals, and in the subsequent finals, the Mavericks played a black 5 against the Heat Minutes, this was a feat of tying the score in just a few minutes, and now, Thunder fans hope that such a scene will be repeated.
James Harden hit a fadeaway mid-range shot to kick off the Thunder's counterattack.
After that, Serge Ibaka, who had 5 fouls, was not restrained on the defensive end. This time he made an accurate choice in the face of Anson's impact, and directly used a big cap to show his demeanor as the king of blocked shots.
Russell Westbrook's fast one-stop counterattack, his extremely fast speed and his powerful impact allowed him to complete a beautiful one-stop, and the point difference returned to 11 points in an instant, which made the Thunder at home The cheering Thunder fans were even more excited, and at the same time, the cheering became louder.
To complete a major reversal, defense is essential. Just resting for a quarter is when Serge Ibaka is full of passion and energy. At the same time, he was fouled twice by Anson at the beginning He also pays great attention to his defensive position.
However, no matter how good Serge Ibaka is, he can only play a role in the paint area. He is not as good as Anson. Completed a difficult three-pointer against Kevin Durant's pressure.
In this round of the series, An Sheng was raped many times in front of Kevin Durant, the scoring champion. Not the best defensive player can defend all the balls, let alone being so unreasonable way of attack.
But this time, at the most critical time in the series, Anson gave the Thunder a heavy blow in the way Kevin Durant is best at, followed by a three-pointer from Jason Richardson , Chris Paul's pass once again found his open space, and this three-pointer once again made the Thunder's initial efforts completely in vain.
In the last 2 minutes, Anson's breakthrough finally allowed the cautious and cautious Serge Ibaka to get his sixth foul of the game.
Thunder fans are desperate, Serge Ibaka's 6 fouls, only the last 2 minutes of the game, behind the double-digit point difference, these factors together weigh on the Thunder fans, they have already I saw the scene where my favorite team was overtaken by a team in the rebuilding process in this round.
Many Thunder fans have shed tears of sadness, but this did not prevent them from being defeated in this game.
113:103, the fast change won this game, and because of Serge Ibaka's playing time limit, the Clippers scored the highest score in this round of the series, but this time In this game, the Clippers defeated Serge Ibaka in the offense, and Anson made Serge Ibaka 4 personal fouls in this game, 14 free throws in the game, scored 34 points, which also gave Thunder fans a bad memory. In the first game last year, they also gave Dirk Nowitzki 24 free throws, and the latter even made 24 free throws. .
The Thunder players and the fans in the auditorium left the field sadly. Kevin Durant left the tunnel without even hugging the Clippers players. This seemingly childish behavior also represented his A character that doesn't want to admit defeat.
Of course, An Sheng and him are the second and third in the MVP list. Although neither of them can win the MVP, another forward will be chosen among them.Even if he got it for a while, but in this kind of head-to-head confrontation, it is very uncomfortable for him to be directly hundreds of his competitors.
Reporters didn't have time to pay attention to the losers, they all flocked to the victorious Clippers, whether it was coaches or players, Del Negro, Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, all around them The crowd was full of people. Of course, among these people, An Sheng, the biggest hero of this game, had the most people around him.
But at this time, the Clippers, who reached the Western Conference Finals for the first time in history, were a little confused. They were still intoxicated by the excitement of winning the game, so no matter what questions the reporters asked them, they would only have one answer, that is Western Conference Finals, here we come!
