Basketball: starting from the nerve knife

Chapter 284: Kevin Durant Lost to His Feet

With the final two minutes left in the game, the priority now for the Thunder is to equalize the score as soon as possible.

That’s what Brooks meant to call this pause.

Kevin Durant looked at him with straight eyes, sweat soaking his eyes, and he was a little astringent.

But he still looked at it so bluntly.

His eyes speak for his thoughts:

Coach, give me the ball and I’ll equalize the score.

Brooks understood his mind and began to lay it out as he wished.

Brooks laid out the tactics, and the timeout was almost over.

Kevin Durant looked at the bench on the other side before coming on the court, where the Knicks No. 25 was also walking to the court.

So far in this game, Kevin Durant’s stats are 27 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists; Li Wan’s stats are 25 points, 9 rebounds, 9 assists, 3 steals and 1 block.

Still the same as before, in addition to scoring ability, in other aspects, Kevin Durant is far from Li Wan.

Not once, not twice, three, but four, five, six… This also seems to show that if Kevin Durant wants to beat Li Wan, he can only rely on scoring and do what he does best, otherwise there is no other possibility.

The expression is returning to determination, or rather becoming more determined.

Kevin Durant walked off the court, and his teammates followed the tactics to help him run out of a very good receiving space.

The first time he held the ball, Li Wan defended in front of him, but Kevin Durant just took the ball and clicked it, and quickly shot three points.

This is his time~

“Time Man” is dispatched!

Li Wan’s reaction was very fast, and when he made a move, his hand had already reached out, forming an effective interference.

But the ball still flew straight towards the basket, and finally fell firmly into the basket, and the ball went in!

This ball made the scene suddenly quiet, and also made the various live broadcast rooms exclamation.

“Glider” eyes are straight, no way, this ball Kevin Durant shot too decisively, scored too crisply, like death wielding a scythe, no matter who the person in front of him is, can not be stopped, even if this person is Li Wan!

“07 Double Heroes”!

If anyone had questioned this statement before, now Kevin Durant has proved himself with this ball and does have the ability to challenge Liwan’s position.

Even if the honors he has now are far from Li Wan, if there is still someone in this league who can challenge Li Wan, in this year’s playoffs, Kevin Durant should be the closest so far, no, that…

“Come on, guys, let’s win this game! ”

“Defend, defend! ”

Kevin Durant shouted in the defense, and after hitting this top three-pointer, he immediately gained confidence!

He also glanced at the spectators on the sidelines…

The New York fans who had just been noisy were silent at the moment, and this happened more than once today.

More confident!

The counterattack of the New York Knicks, Li Wan did not rush to attack, but also in color, but chose to wait for his teammates to land.

After waiting for the cheers at the scene to slowly grow louder again, he observed the Thunder team unhurriedly.

The whole process can be described in four words:

Take a leisurely walk.

The many big scenes he has experienced have given Li Wan the capital to remain calm at this time.

There is still a minute left, what is the difference between this and the beginning of the game?

Chris Bosh came up and made a catch feint that affected Kevin Durant’s judgment.

Li Wan took the opportunity to break through, a sharp stop near the free throw line, made a two-handed action to hold the ball, observed Durant’s reaction, and after discovering that the “little handsome” had the intention to save forward, the non-ball carrier quickly pulled out a large change of direction, wiped it from next to Kevin Durant, and rushed to the basket to “raise the fire” style dunk to win.

The New York Knicks regained the lead.

Compared to Kevin Durant’s goal, Li Wan’s goal is not so difficult, and the highlight is an ease.

The cheers at the scene suddenly became louder again.

Brooks glanced at the time, there were probably four offensive rounds left, and he signaled to storm one round.

Seeing this, Westbrook immediately came to power, grabbed Beverley and crushed all the way, Kevin Durant saw him take the ball towards the basket, like a reckless man, his heart twitched fiercely, and he couldn’t help but say “Don’t…”

It was also at this time that Westbrook, who rushed to the basket, slammed the ball into the basket with a signature “Tomahawk dunk”.

His impact caused Beverley to fall to the side, and his figure was still a little stumbling.

Beverley’s reaction shows how hard Westbrook rushed the ball.

It’s really a peak turtle!

Li Wan was also secretly speechless.

Although Beverley had a property restraint on Westbrook.

But from the current situation, there is still a big gap between Beverley and the peak turtle, and he must ensure that Westbrook does not rush, otherwise, no matter how much this “mad dog” can “gnaw”, the final result will be knocked aside by Westbrook.

“Don’t be funny, just because you still want to stop Russell!! ”

What happened in front of him also changed the content of Kevin Durant’s words.

Also changed was the direction of his shout.

He shouted viciously at Beverly!

At the same time, the heart said:

It’s different, it’s really different, this time I really have brothers!

The point difference is flat again!

Westbrook’s dunk made the on-site support sound slow down.

But it made Thunder full of enthusiasm for this gang.

Their defense is a little more pressive. Seeing this, Mike Brown called a timeout. After this timeout, the Knicks opted for a substitution, with D’Antoni replacing Ray Allen for the court.

In this state of tonight, Danny Green’s defense can play a limited role, and at this time, the New York Knicks have to do more than defend:

Offensive!

Ray Allen showed his role as a veteran and received a pass from Li Wan in the first round to complete a three-point goal.

The originally silent scene when the ball was thrown in, suddenly as if an atomic bomb had been dropped, and the “boom” exploded.

“nice！ ”

Li Wan also shouted at Ray Allen.

There was great excitement in his eyes.

This three-point shot is too critical!

Ray Allen’s nerves were normal, and the cheers of the crowd and the excitement of his teammates turned a blind eye, as if he had just hit just an ordinary three-point goal.

What is the pattern of the three-point king of history?!

However, after Li Wan spoke, he still pulled the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: “I can’t come back for nothing, man!” ”

In the regular season, Ray Allen played more of a bench role, playing a total of 72 games, averaging only 15.4 minutes per game and just 6.4 points per game.

But Ray Allen proved with this goal that no matter what he was like in the regular season, he was valuable in key moments in the playoffs!

A hint of frustration appeared on Harden’s face.

Because Artai’s elbow did not have an elbow on his head, he had not yet had a “look defense” situation. On the defensive end, James Harden is arguably one of the Thunder’s most active players.

This goal, he also desperately followed behind Ray Allen.

But he really doesn’t have a good ability to defend without the ball.

What’s more, standing in front of him is the top no-ball running expert in history.

In less than three seconds, he was thrown away by Ray Allen, and by the time he spotted Ray Allen again, the latter had already cast his hand.

And he, except watching the basketball fall into the basket, can do nothing …

It’s really easy to get frustrated.

This game has been played so far, everyone’s hard work, James Harden is in the eyes, he has also performed well tonight, so far he has scored 18 points, on the stage of the Finals, plus those four games two years ago, this is his best game.

He didn’t want to be a factor in the team’s defeat.

But right now, he lost Ray Allen and let the latter hit a crucial three-pointer.

Trailing by three points again at this time would be a big blow to the team, and James Harden knew it well enough that he didn’t dare look up at his teammates.

He kept silently reciting and repeating in his heart, wanting to make up for this defensive misposition in the next round of the Thunder’s offense.

Even his movement with the Thunder in this next offense has become more aggressive and aggressive than ever.

Ray Allen has a wealth of experience, and he has defended against a number of top defenders in his prime, and while he can’t keep up physically, he knows exactly what to do to defend all styles of defenders.

Someone like James Harden who mainly catches without the ball, let alone that.

James Harden’s several empty cuts were accurately predicted by Ray Allen and successfully intercepted.

But it was in such a situation that James Harden used his positivity to complete a very good quality open cut.

Westbrook was just intercepted, his appearance was like a divine soldier, the ball was transferred to his hand, he rushed to the basket and raised his hand, put the ball towards the basket, the ball was so strong that James Harden did not control the force when he finally hooked, but the ball was turned upside down on the basket a few times and still fell in.

The difference is 1 point, and the time falls below the last 50 seconds.

For the New York Knicks, now is the time to play the success rate, so Li Wan did not rush to attack, continued to stabilize the situation, and waited for his teammates to settle.

Bill Wharton couldn’t help but say: “I would like to know when Li Wan will be nervous…”

This mentality is also too stable!

“Triple crown” is different from ordinary people!

Li Wan: There are still more than 40 seconds left, isn’t this the same as when the game just started?

With 10 seconds left in the offensive time of this round, Li Wan called Ray Allen to play a “hand-to-hand” tactic with him, smoothly misplaced to face James Harden, and raised his hand to make a three-pointer.

James Harden’s reaction was very fast, this defensive positivity, Li Wan once thought that he was standing in front of him was a “fake James”.

This is called “James”, when did the defense become so active?

Li Wan’s three-point path is very correct.

But unfortunately, it bounced out when it hit the inside of the basket.

“Ho! ”

Ibaka’s roar felt like he was about to roar out his lungs. The rebound was also caught by him.

This is a crucial rebound!

But just when he grabbed the rebound in his hand, Chris Bosh didn’t know when he went around behind him, reached out and poked the rebound with precision, Li Wanyan quickly grabbed it in his hand, rushed to the basket, and jumped straight up, Ibaka showed his fearlessness as a Congolese man at this time, and actually forcibly topped Li Wan’s front at the first time.

From his expression, you can actually see what he wants to say:

I want to atone for my sins!

Although this rebound was originally captured by him, it was his duty to protect the Thunder’s interior line, so grabbing the backcourt rebound was what he should have done, but he was careless, failed to protect the ball well, and was stolen, which is his fault.

If the Thunder do lose tonight, then the blame is on him!

He thinks so anyway!

It was also this sense of responsibility that made him rush out at this time…

Whether he can stop this ball or not, he has to try to block this ball!

He was greeted by a loud smashing sound.

He only felt that the top of his head exploded, and at the same time, a huge momentum made him involuntarily fall backwards.

Li Wan detained Ibaka!

The scene was silent at first, and then the cheers swept the entire stadium like a mountain roaring tsunami, and in less than a second, all that could be heard was cheers.

“Oh my god！ ”

Barkley’s dark face turned the color of pig liver, and the expression on his face was a little deformed because of excitement.

Kenny Smith tilted his head to the side, and at the same time, rubbing his arm desperately with his hand, Li Wan’s ball directly blew him goosebumps.

There was also a thought in his mind:

Ibaka is miserable!

No wonder Kenny Smith reacted this way, and Ibaka, who suffered the impact, fell to the ground, stumbled and sat down on the ground.

From this, it can be seen how fierce Li Wan’s momentum of this ball is!

Outside players are originally a difficult thing to do inside players, and now Li Wan’s impact actually knocked Ibaka directly to the ground…

Sitting on the ground, Ibaka’s first reaction was to hold his head in his hands and look annoyed.

Unable to prevent the ball, he knew that the Thunder were three more points behind!

But there are more than 20 seconds left in the game.

Kevin Durant pulled him up and flipped his back as a sign of comfort.

Everyone knows that Ibaka’s goal has been made up in time.

But who let the opposite side is Li Wan!

This ball, if replaced by someone else, Ibaka may have stopped him, but it was Li Wan, and finally made this guy’s famous scene.

But it’s normal to think about it, if it’s not so powerful, he Kevin Durant is so arrogant, why is he on the way back to chase him?

“You’ve done a great job, man! ”

He spoke up to comfort Ibaka.

Brooks called another timeout, the Thunder’s last timeout of the game.

The “decisive blow” is still given to Kevin Durant.

It’s just that this time back on the court, Durant can clearly feel that Li Wan’s entanglement with him is more fierce than at any time in this game.

He was slow to fill the vacant seat.

Westbrook got the ball first.

Carry yourself close to Kevin Durant.

The Knicks side clearly sensed his intentions, the entire defense began to contract, and as things stand, it is certain that if he insists on finding Kevin Durant, the end result is that when Kevin Durant receives the ball, he will also be completely in the Knicks’ pocket circle

Westbrook made a quick decision and chose to break through on his own.

Beverley knew that his strength was not as strong as Westbrook, so he forced the first blow and quickly switched defenses with Chris Bosh.

This change of defense is of high quality, Westbrook rushed forward, not knowing that there was a change around him.

The taller Chris Bosh shrouded Wilson well.

“Bang! ”

Pound Westbrook under the basket and shoot iron.

Chris Bosh took the key position under the basket in the confrontation, but just as he was about to grab the rebound, a pair of long hands snatched the rebound in advance.

Be……

Westbrook!

Play your own iron, snatch the ball back yourself!

“Dawei Shao” is strong in life, and the strength to not admit defeat is reflected at this moment.

“ni……”

Brooks was about to shout, but before the “nice” could be spoken, Westbrook’s pass almost flew into his hand again. Fortunately, James Harden appeared on the wing in time.

Slight adjustments.

“Hurry Cast! ”

At the same time, there was Brooks’ urging voice in his ears.

James Harden raised his hand and shot.

The ball flew straight out, flew in the air, and when it was ready to fall, the red light on the rebound turned on.

The regular time of this game is over, and this three-point shot will determine the life and death of the Thunder in Game 1 of the Finals.

“Duh! ”

“Ugh! ”

The ball that smashed on the basket flew high and fell straight down.

Ball……

In!

“James Harden equalized the score! ”

“110 to 110! ”

“Overtime! ”

“Overtime! ”

“Dear viewers and friends, you are not mistaken, the first game of this year’s finals appeared in overtime…”

In the ESPN commentary table, Drexler shouted excitedly.

The Thunder crowd also rushed to James Harden and high-fived him.

Especially Kevin Durant and Westbrook, one rubbed his head, the other hugged him and shook desperately.

Frankly speaking, in the last moments of this game, the two of them, a “big brother” failed to run out of the empty position, and a “second brother” chose to break through at a key moment, did not choose a three-pointer, and did not know what was going on in his head, and the final pass almost missed.

But none of this matters, James Harden saved them and gave them the possibility to continue “atonement” in this game…

This “third brother” is awesome!

Oklahomans in front of the television set all agreed.

Because of the news of nightclub hi during the Finals in ’12, they always have “colored glasses” for James Harden, thinking that this guy lacks scraping spirit and ability in key moments, that is, a “regular season star”.

But now, James Harden “whitewashed” the goal, allowing them to reacquaint themselves with the “Thunder team senior”.

100 seconds of rest, after which the race resumes.

Director Zhang looked at Li Wan, who was back on the field, and asked to the side: “This is the first time Li Wan has played overtime in the finals, right?” ”

Su Qun quickly flipped through the information and nodded: “Yes, Li Wan has played a total of 4 finals so far, plus this is the fifth time, only this time played overtime!” ”

Director Zhang unconsciously patted his thigh.

Hey, that’s interesting!

He felt something very interesting was going to happen in this series…

To say that this old commentator’s vision is indeed unique.

But what Director Zhang didn’t expect was that it wasn’t that something very interesting would happen in this series, but that something very interesting happened in this game…

At the beginning of overtime, Kevin Durant hit the basket and caused Tyson Chandler to foul, making both free throws to give the Thunder the lead.

Then Li Wan attracted the bag and gave the ball to Tyson Chandler under the basket, assisted the latter to complete the frame, Perkins blocked with a foul, received his fifth foul of the game, but the foul was worth it, Tyson Chandler only hit one of the two free throws.

The Thunder still have a one-point lead.

And there is an opportunity to continue to extend the score.

But at this time, Li Wan was a foul directly towards Perkins.

Perkins was stunned for a moment, and the entire Thunder team was stunned for a moment.

No, it’s not…

“Chopping tactics”?

How can I Perkins Hoder?

Brooks’ expression was also a little weird.

He suddenly wanted to scold Perkins:

Say you, what are you breaking the rules!

Can’t you just let him attack the frame?

Are you good at making free throws yourself?

Isn’t it also a “little deflated three”?

“Bang! ”

“Bang! ”

Perkins, who walked to the free throw line, did not surprise Brooks, missing both free throws. But normal, the game has been playing for almost 50 minutes, and Perkins has been on the court for almost 35 minutes before scoring three points.

He really can’t score him.

Brooks had to replace Perkins.

Replacing him was the Thunder’s first retired jersey, Nick Collison.

Most of his abilities are inferior to Perkins, but one thing is better than Perkins, and that is his free-throw ability.

But his ability to block inside lines is actually much worse than Perkins.

For the current Thunder, blocking the inside is also critical.

The lack of Perkins’ problems was exposed in the next round, and after Li Wan rushed to the basket, lacking Perkins’ large tonnage compression space, he easily changed hands and pulled the lever to complete the dunk.

Collison has a good “breakthrough foul”, but you go and ask the referee, at the home of the New York Knicks, at such a critical moment, does he dare to blow that Colison was fouled by Li Wan?

One of the more important reasons, as far as Colison’s ability to move, before he moved to a position within the reasonable impact zone, Li Wan was afraid that he had already smoked three cigarettes in the air, plus a Valoran.

If he can’t keep up with Li Wan’s speed, his cleverness can’t be talked about.

The score was again at 3 points.

Westbrook stepped up, broke through for a layup, and successfully made a kill, Chris Bosh got his fifth foul, and Westbrook hit both free throws.

Twenty seconds later, Chris Bosh hit a mid-range jumper to take responsibility for his own foul.

“Dragon King Roar” resounded throughout the arena, and at this moment, you really can’t tell if he is Chris Bosh or Kevin Garnett…

In the final 17 seconds of the game, it was the New York Knicks who led by three points.

Brooks gestured toward the court, or let the rest of the Thunder open space for Kevin Durranta to single.

Kevin Durant nodded without a trace, and there was a look of determination on his face, this time must not… Be sure to…

Westbrook dribbled the ball through the half, Kevin Durant immediately moved towards him, wanting to catch the ball in advance, Li Wan once again made Kevin Durant feel that sense of pressure…

It’s this smell~

In the final moments of the fourth quarter, he was under the defensive intensity of Li Wan’s kind that he finally failed to receive the ball, and this time…

It must not be “invisible” anymore!

Kevin Durant’s moves have also become bigger.

Li Wan’s fight is indeed fierce enough, Westbrook and Kevin Durant are almost close to people, only to complete the “hand-to-hand” pass.

Fortunately, the ball still reached Kevin Durant’s hands.

The first time he got the ball, Kevin Durant immediately jumped back and distanced himself from Li Wan.

His position was already two steps away from the three-point line, but Li Wan was still entangled.

This is……

Don’t want me to shoot threes!

Kevin Durant immediately understood.

Bill Wharton said: “Li Wan’s thinking is very clear!” ”

The Thunder are now trailing by three points, and as long as they don’t shoot threes, they can break through at will.

No one would choose to break through the basket and score two points at such a time, right?

As he finished speaking, Kevin Durant made another move.

A large change of direction to the right, Kevin Durant moved with Levan and another large change of direction to the left.

Here it comes!

Kevin Durant’s signature scoring method “double change direction”!

No matter what the situation is like at the moment, and no matter who the man in front of him is, Kevin Durant is convinced that as long as he uses the “double direction”, then he can send the ball to the basket.

Kevin Durant’s change of direction is really enough, and even Li Wan has been pulled up by him…

Kevin Durant seized the opportunity and took a big step to the right, jumping up and shooting in front of the three-point line.

“Toot! ”

The beep sounded again.

The 5 minutes of overtime were also completely lost.

Just like just now, the ball flying in the air will determine the life and death of the Thunder in this game.

The only difference is that the guy who just shot is James Harden, and now, it’s Kevin Durant!

The ball flies straight to the basket.

The ball path is very positive…

Brooks suddenly had a strong premonition that this ball would go in…

This thought made him can’t help but clench his fists.

“Ugh! ”

And the next second he clenched his fists, the basketball passed through the basket and made a crisp net sound.

In!

Really in!

“yes！ ”

Brooks raised his clenched fists.

Once again, the Thunder team escaped from the “ghost gate”.

The rest of the Thunder also went straight to Kevin Durant, who was standing in place, and their cheers caused a sigh in the audience.

Did they tie up again?

What a stroke of luck!

I didn’t expect this game to be so difficult to play!

……

Bill Wharton said, “Another overtime!” ”

Anyway, he didn’t expect that the first game of this year’s finals would be so anxious, just one overtime was not enough, and now he actually had to play the second overtime.

Kenny Smith said: “The next thing to compare is the willpower of this gang!” ”

After the first extra time, the time of this game has come to 53 minutes, and after the second extra time, the game time of this game will come to 58 minutes…

Originally the intensity is large, now the entire game time will be close to 1 hour, just listening to this length, it makes people feel tired, not to mention the New York Knicks and Thunder players who are experiencing all this on the court!

Is this the “Thunder Three Few”?

Li Wan crossed his hands and looked at the Thunder team celebrating on the field.

He thought the Thunder would be tougher against other teams, but he really didn’t expect the first game of the Finals to have to play double-overtime.

However, at this time, the referee suddenly signaled that the Thunder team had lost…

This gesture made everyone stunned for a moment.

Brooks immediately leaned towards the referee’s bench to protest the referee’s decision.

Just now he noticed that the referees gathered in front of the video recorder to watch the replay, but when Kevin Durant shot, it was in front of him, and he could clearly see that when Kevin Durant shot, the game time was indeed not over,……

The game didn’t end, Kevin Durant’s goal was valid, and he didn’t foul either, so why did the Thunder lose?

He couldn’t figure it out, so his first reaction was to appeal to the referee, asking the referee to give a reasonable explanation.

The referee quickly gave an explanation:

Kevin Durant scored effectively, but he scored 2 points because he…

Step on the line!

Ha?

This answer once again stunned everyone, the big screen of the scene also replayed Kevin Durant’s offense at this time, the sideline camera clearly captured Kevin Durant’s breakthrough to the side, after the foot landed, the front half stepped outside the three-point line, and Kevin Durant did not notice this, he jumped straight up and shot.

This makes Kevin Durant’s ball actually a “two-point step”.

This……

Kenny Smith and Barkley looked at each other.

Bill Wharton also looked at his partner with a strange expression.

The smile on Director Zhang’s face with Su Qun and Yang Yi also carried the meaning of “can it still be like this”…

As a commentator, they did not expect that tonight’s game would be so anxious, let alone that tonight’s game would actually be decided in such a way.

All that can be said is…

“Dog luck game! ”

“What a dog luck game! ”

Cameron Anthony is in front of the TV at this moment, seeing the referee’s verdict and the video playback, he is more sure that if the NBA wants to win the championship, only strength, no, but also “dog luck”!

He doesn’t have this thing, Kevin Durant doesn’t look like it, Li Wan…

Yes!

In the audience, cheers rose one after another, and the dramatic victory made them feel that this victory was not easy to come by, and they were more excited and joyful than usual.

In the cheers of the audience, Kevin Durant glanced down at the soles of his scythe-like feet…

Seriously, it’s different!

However, Kevin Durant is well aware that his ability to have such physical control is inextricably linked to the grip provided by the soles of his feet. He was also proud of his “big feet” for a time.

But at the moment, if he could, he wanted to stomp his toes.

What a delay for me to become the “first in the alliance”!

He……

What a gas!

Everyone on the Thunder team looked at his frustrated appearance, and when they passed by, they all reached out and patted him.

They were also resentful of this loss.

But……

They can’t blame Kevin Durant either.

Because he did what he was supposed to do.

At the last moment, he forcibly received the ball and faced two-time “Defensive Player of the Season” winner Li Wan to complete the top shot and also scored!

Everything, he did a great job. In the same case, no matter how well anyone else on this team is switched, he can’t do better than Kevin Durant.

Who would have thought that Kevin Durant would step on the line?

If it weren’t for the cameras, no one would have noticed this at all …

So, blame the camera!

Right!

All to blame on the camera!

Li Wan was also stunned for a long time before he reacted, they actually won like this, it was really…

What a dramatic scene!

However, the strength of this Thunder Team was a little beyond his expectations, or in other words, the energy generated by the “Thunder Three Youngsters” that were not separated was something he did not expect.

But if you think about it…

These are three regular season MVPs!

In the history of the NBA, until 2023, it is only about 40 regular-season MVPs.

Now 3 regular season MVPs are on the same team, whether these three people are at their absolute peak or not, even if only one of them enters the peak state, as long as the other two enter the peak period, it means that they cannot be easily dealt with.

This game is proof of that!

Li Wan had to admit that he felt pressure…

With the referee’s decision, the score was fixed at 128-127, and the New York Knicks defeated the Thunder by one point and struggled to hold their first home court.

Big score 1-0.

At the end of the game, the data of the core players on both sides are:

Li Wan 38 points, 13 rebounds, 14 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks; Chris Bosh 28 points, 14 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block;

Kevin Durant 41 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 1 block; Westbrook 28 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists; James Harden 23 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists;

This data alone is actually enough to show how eye-catching the core players on both sides of this game are!

David Stern immediately asked about ratings.

The end result made him extremely excited.

37.65 million!

The viewership gap between the final Finals of the “God of Basketball” career is about 1 million.

Although the penetration rate of TV is much higher now than in ’98, don’t forget that Internet live streaming also shares a large part of the ratings, so this result can fully reflect the impact of this game in the United States.

And this…

It was the first competition of this year’s finals!

With overtime in the first game alone, and the dramatic “program effect” of “Kevin Durant’s three-point shot by 1 pointer”, David Stern can imagine what kind of attention will be attracted in the next game of this series?

This is definitely the best era of the NBA!

David Stern was very excited, although it was a little immoral to think so, but in his heart, this thought did appear: joke, you should rest.

It’s better not to wake up for now!

Because of him, he wants to operate this “prosperous age” too much!

I swear, joke, when you wake up, this “prosperous age” will be as you wish.

“1 point away, the New York Knicks grab the first win of the Finals!” 》

“It turns out that big feet are also weaknesses, Kevin Durant ‘stepped on the line for three points’ missed the opportunity to equalize the score! 》

In the first game of the “07 Double Heroes” battle, Kevin Durant lost to his own feet! 》

……

Reports of the game the next day flew around.

The discussion about the game was overwhelming.

Oklahomans are somewhat worried about Kevin Durant’s mindset.

It’s really blowing to the mentality.

Fortunately, from the interview of Kevin Durant on the second day of the game, he was still full of fighting spirit, and it can be seen that he was not frustrated by this. On the contrary, the fighting spirit is more exuberant.

“I believe that this time, we will not be easily defeated! ”

Kevin Durant is getting more and more courageous…

Naturally, there is a reason for this!

The main reason is the change in the evaluation of him and the Thunder in the outside media.

After the first game of the Finals, the outside world’s optimism about the Thunder has become higher.

More experts believe that the Thunder can cause problems for the New York Knicks, and the number of media who think that the Thunder can win the New York Knicks is even more.

After Kevin Durant read the comments of these media and experts, the unhappiness that arose in his heart because his feet were too big to step on the line became full of confidence at this moment, and he kept shouting in his heart:

Just today!

Just today!
