Reverse Growth Superstar
: Seven hundred and seventy-one: Forty-nine to one approval rate
Kevin Durant knew that he had to seize this opportunity.
To be precise, it is to seize the only hope of survival.
May 16, 2014, the NBA Western Conference semifinals, the sixth game of the Thunder VS Spurs.
Durant is ready to catch the ball on the right. He knows that this is the best chance to kill the Spurs. In the entire series, they have never had such a good opportunity!
At this time, the total score of the series has become 3 to 2, and the Spurs took the lead in getting the match point.
In other words, as long as the Spurs get another victory today, the Thunder and Durant's championship dreams will be completely shattered.
Durant can't accept this kind of thing like falling into the sand in the Western Conference semifinals. His goal this year is to defeat Link and then take revenge on James. He never considered the Spurs, because the Spurs were eliminated by the Thunder in the Western Conference semifinals last season.
Durant has always believed that he will not lose to his former defeated opponents.
However, the Spurs are just like the Grizzlies. They have all lost to the Thunder, but they have also changed dramatically.
Durant waited for a while, but the basketball was not handed over to him.
Westbrook borrowed the cover of Ibaka to kill the restricted area. Seeing this scene, Durant's heart was cold.
Sure enough, under Duncan's blockade, Westbrook chose to stop the jumper. Then, like the previous few shots, Westbrook's "zombie jumper" hits the front of the rim straight, and there is no arc at all.
"Damn it!" Durant whispered in his heart, he didn't know when Westbrook could make the ball!
Today's game played so far, Westbrook's shot count is similar to Durant. But the hit rate has fallen below 35%!
On the surface, Westbrook scored a lot. But in fact, his scoring is more by making foul free throws. Westbrook's efficiency in sports warfare is extremely low!
Today, the Spurs' performance finally fluctuates. The Spurs shot only 36.8% in the first half, and 42 points in the half were the lowest in the series.
Besides, they also made 8 mistakes. To make matters worse, the Spurs made the league's first three-pointer, failing to make a three-pointer in the first quarter, and improving in the second quarter, but the entire first half was only 4 of 18 three-pointers.
Facing such a Spur, the Thunder had a chance to seize the flaw and win the game in one fell swoop. But Westbrook, stupefied, also lowered the Thunder's shooting percentage.
After the start of the second half, the Spurs are getting better. And the Thunder is still missing opportunities because of Westbrook's feverish head, and Durant found himself increasingly unable to tolerate these behaviors of Westbrook.
Durant hurried back to defense, he decided that he would take the initiative to ask for the ball in the next round!
This time, Tony Parker's mid-range shot was interrupted by Westbrook and missed. Just as Durant was secretly happy, Leonard suddenly passed by him!
Durant was surprised first, and then quickly followed! He was regretting, regretting why he didn't stand up to Leonard for the first time!
Last season, Leonard's defense against Durant made him famous, but he is still considered just a role player.
But this year, Leonard's progress on the offensive end is obvious to all. In the regular season this season, the "face paralyzed guy" averaged 12.8 points per game. In the playoffs, he can get 14.3 points.
This guy, now he won't miss any chance to score.
In Durant's desperate eyes, Leonard stretched his long arms and rushed in front of everyone to click the basketball that had knocked out of the frame.
Durant covered his head in annoyance. After this goal, the Spurs regained a 9-point lead!
The defeat of the Thunder is not only the responsibility of Westbrook alone.
Durant glanced at Leonard, who had just completed a wonderful tip-up, but Leonard just returned to the defense on his own, without celebrating at all, and there was no expression on his face.
Compared to Link, who was blazing after the goal, Leonard's reaction made Durant even more terrifying.
In the highly competitive West, there is another monster.
After the game, Westbrook still did not find an offensive feeling. And Durant's side under Leonard's "death entanglement", the state is also ups and downs, unable to score steadily.
In the end, the Spurs won the game smoothly, relying on adjustments in the second half, despite their poor performance in the first half.
When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Durant, who was sitting on the bench watching the Spurs players wantonly celebrating, couldn't help but flushed his eyes.
Since 2012, he has a chance to win the championship. But until now, Durant doesn't know how it feels like a championship.
In the first year, the immature ones were tortured to death by the Heat. Last year, I thought everything was ready, but was helplessly blocked by the Grizzlies in advance of the finals. What about this year? The Thunder couldn't even play in the Western Conference Finals!
Since 2012, every year, the Thunder's record will be one round worse than last year. Judging from the record, the Thunder seems to be gradually weakening.
But Durant knew that they were not weakened. On the contrary, they have become stronger.
However, their opponents have become stronger...
Durant thought he was the only person in the league who could contend with Link. In order to play against the Grizzlies, he was preparing for almost the entire season.
However, he didn't even have the qualifications to play against Link in the end.
Four days ago, the Grizzlies had eliminated the Los Angeles Clippers 4-0 in Los Angeles and successfully advanced to the Western Conference Finals. But this time, Durant missed the appointment.
"Kevin..." Westbrook stood in front of Durant, apologetic.
Today, Westbrook made 23 crazy shots, but only made 8 goals, with a shooting percentage of only 34.8%.
Playing against the Grizzlies last season, Westbrook has more than once brought down the Thunder because of his outrageous shots.
Durant looked at Westbrook without saying much. With red eyes, he put his forehead on Westbrook's head. It seems that these young men comforting each other have such deep feelings.
But what Durant's real thoughts are, only he knows.
After the game, among the reveling Spurs players, the reporter found Gregg Popovich.
Before the start of the season, no one could have imagined that the Spurs could win 60+ games. It is even more impossible for anyone to believe that the aging Spurs actually overturned the young Thunder and advanced to the Western Conference Finals!
The Spurs broke the peak matchup between Link and Durant with their own strength, and disturbed the dream of many fans and TV stations.
And a large part of the reason why the Spurs are magical is because of the old man standing in front of the camera at this time.
"Let's talk about it, this is the first time the Spurs have reached the Western Conference Finals since 2008! For this moment, you have waited for 6 years! What is your mood at this time, Greg!" The reporter's question is simple, 2008 When the Spurs lost to the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals, no one thought that the Spurs could return to the top of the Western Conference with this old core lineup.
But now, 6 years later, they did it miraculously.
"The Thunder are a great opponent. It is not easy for us to win. But I am glad that we can avenge our last season. But to be honest, I am not excited now. After we knock down the Grizzlies and make it to the Finals , You can ask me this question again. At that time, I should have the answer."
Popovich spoke without a smile on his face.
The desire of this old man is far more than that!
Thunder, is one of the enemies of the Spurs. But the Grizzlies have eliminated the Spurs from the playoffs for two consecutive years!
Popovich still remembers this. He believes that his small lineup will definitely be able to tidy up the Grizzlies playing the Twin Towers lineup!
The iron hoof of the San Antonio people began to move towards Tennessee.
※※※
As Link worries, history has not shifted in the end. The San Antonio Spurs eliminated the Oklahoma City Thunder in six games, and the Grizzlies' opponents in the Western Conference Finals also instantly changed teams.
Although this entire season, the league has been hyping the Thunder and Grizzlies. For a whole year, people expected that Link and Durant would decide a king of the West.
But the Spurs, who have been lacking attention and taciturn, are more dangerous than the Thunder.
A dog that doesn't bark bites a person. This sentence is perfect for Spurs.
The day after the Western Conference semifinals was over~www.wuxiaspot.com~ After Link got up, the whole world was discussing the Grizzlies and Spurs.
The Thunder, which had been hot all year before, immediately cooled down.
No way, this is competitive sports. No matter how brilliant you were before, as long as you lose once, you will be forgotten by the world.
The Spurs quickly replaced the Thunder and became the most popular team in the Western Conference except for the Lakers and Grizzlies!
After all, the Lakers' historical heritage and the market are there. Even if the Lakers' record is so bad, they are still popular.
But the Spurs and Grizzlies can win super popularity, it depends on sheer strength.
Link looked at the news and got up. The Western Conference finals are coming soon, and Link doesn't want to take it lightly.
As always, Link made breakfast for himself while watching sports news.
At this moment, ESPN announced in the news the results of a survey of the Western Conference Finals approval rating.
Link looked up, almost squirting out the milk he had just drunk in.
There are 50 states in the United States, of which 49 states support the Spurs to win...
Link curled his lips. This is the legendary enemy of the whole people.
