Chapter 325: Epiphany

An important reason why the Spurs lost to the Thunder is that Ginobili's condition this year is really bad.
In the past, the Spurs looked at Duncan in adversity and Manu in desperation. But this year, the Spurs have become pitted by Manu.
The Pampas Condor had a soft hand at the critical moment of the semi-finals. He made mistakes, missed a breakthrough and missed a three-pointer. He lost Tianwang Mountain and the series.
Since the Spurs joined the NBA in 1976, in 2012, they played 14 games in the playoffs.
After winning 7 of them and winning 7 series, the Spurs eventually won.
The defeat of the Tianwang Mountain is also 7 games, including 6 series, the Spurs finally lost.
Only in the series against the Hornets in 2008, after losing the Tianwang Mountain, the Spurs still pulled two games in a row, killing the Hornets in a tie-break and preventing Paul from entering the Western Conference.
After losing to the Thunder in 2013, the Spurs' Tianwang Mountain came to 7-8, and continued to lose the series after losing.
This fully shows that the Spurs rarely create miracles in the playoffs, but they will not let their opponents do miracles.
We don’t have any special features. Our special feature is to make you also have no special features.
But the Lakers are different. The Lakers are a team with distinctive characteristics, strong attack power, and outstanding personal abilities.
If the Lakers are not united, they are often prone to moths and self-defeating.
But as long as the Lakers are united internally, even if it is only superficially united in the game, their combat effectiveness will be quite terrible.
Because they are full of talent.
All rely on talent to play. Although the Thunder is strong, but Harden is missing. Compared with the Lakers who have only been a superstar in history, it is a younger brother.
The talented team began to unite, play the feeling of team basketball, and can switch freely between the two, the Lakers began to show their terrible fighting power.
Li Liang's two three-pointers are nothing but appetizers.
Brooks quickly discovered during the timeout that he had no idea how to arrange his defense.
To whom? How to target it? Who is the focus on?
I don't know, I am stunned and full of question marks.
In addition to constantly encouraging and cheering players, he does not know how to adjust.
Thinking of the lessons of the third game, Brooks decided not to adjust, but just let the players slow down.
But this slowdown didn't slow down. The timeout ended and returned to the court. The Lakers' offense didn't stop.
Li Liang didn't continue to throw three-pointers. Just now he didn't use props at all, completely relying on his own feel and a little bonus from the runes.
He didn't want to use props, he forgot.
He is deeply involved in the team's offensive and defensive system, highly invested.
The Lakers' offense is running at a high speed like a machine. Everyone, after a season of running-in and two and a half series of hard work, at a certain point, has achieved the effect of quantitative change causing qualitative change.
As if it was the epiphany of the Buddha under the Bodhi Tree, Lu Zhishen's aura in front of the Qiantang River, the Lakers players slowly swallowed, a little bit of polishing, the offensive end finally began to be unstoppable.
After the Thunder came back from a timeout, Durant's own offensive attack was carried out. After the breakthrough, an emergency stop drifted two points.
Without a hit, the ball was too difficult, and Gasol got the rebound.
Kobe Bryant received the ball from the low post, the Thunder wanted to hit the ball, the score was given to Li Liang, Li Liang quickly passed the ball to the flank Nash.
Nash now finds that he has a lot of things to do on the flank, not necessarily staying at the top of the arc.
He catches the ball with Gasol's cover for a change of direction, a Kobe, a Nash, a left and a right, the Thunder's defense was pulled wide open.
Nash passed the ball with a blow, and Howard caught the ball with a double-handed dunk!
The Thunder quickly counterattacked, Westbrook wanted to bring the rhythm up, rushed with the ball, and the last zombie jumper ended.
The goal was scored, but the Lakers counterattacked quickly. After Nash took the ball, a super long pass to the frontcourt, Gasol was just in the basket.
There was only one fake move to catch Ibaka, and then a dunk on the left hand succeeded!
The Thunder won't be able to rush this time, because the Lakers have retired into place.
In the battle of position, the Thunder has no way out, and all the tricks that should be used are used up.
Ibaka, Collison and other players also contributed in the first half, and they will not work in the second half.
What to do, Durant came, and the Lakers started to attack Durant, let Sefrossa, and let Collison.
Durant jumped and jumped the pass. Severosha received the ball and missed a 3-pointer.
Sefolosha is also against Kobe and Li Liang. There are not many three-pointers in the entire series.
A shooter, there is no way to develop feel and confidence in the game, you let him make a three-point shot at this critical moment in the fourth quarter, it is really strange to be able to hit.
Unless he has a system.
The Thunder's offense is crashing.
And their defense is still alive.
Howard got a rebound in the backcourt, Nash slowly dribble through the half, and Westbrook has been unable to carry out high-pressure oppression defense against Nash like the previous two games.
Still physical strength, energy, and effects.
Li Liang came over from a very outside position to screen Nash. Then, Nash hit the pass, Li Liang received a high throw, Gasol put a foot on the inside, took the ball and put the ball into the basket gently In the basket.
After the end, the Thunder's defense began to collapse.
They had no defensive focus and could not attack, and began to become irritable.
This ball Ibaka should be stored inside, let Li Liang go in with the ball, he took another step, the ball hit the foot and made a mistake.
Or simply stop the jumper, Li Liang's mid-stop is still not as good as Durant's.
But Ibaka had to rush out, and as a result, Li Liang passed to the inside and Gasol succeeded in the air relay.
Resisting most of the half, the Thunder collapsed silently under the force of the Lakers in the fourth quarter.
In the last 7 or 8 minutes, the Lakers fans of Staples cheered loudly because the scene was not nervous at all.
The Thunder played very sloppy and rough, and like the regular season, the Lakers kept scoring points with various small matches.
Of course, Kobe's difficult jumper and folding layup are indispensable.
Corvo is not difficult and uncomfortable, there is no difficulty to create difficulty for himself.
The Lakers played more and more smoothly, hitting the back, what Jamison, Blake, and even Cornerstone Sackley have appeared!
They played a 42:25 Thunder in the fourth quarter, 40 points in a single quarter, and won the Thunder by 17 points.
If it is not the last to change into the junk lineup, the score will be more, the score difference will be greater.
The Thunder won't play in the fourth quarter. The players can't let go, the more they can't play, the more they can't play. They can only let Durant and Westbrook play by themselves. The two are helpless.
In fact, the score of 25 points is not small, the problem is that the Lakers 42 points is really terrible.
The final score was 115:98, the Lakers completed a big victory in the battle of Tianwang Mountain.
The overall score is 3:2 ahead, one step away from the finals.
In the post-match press conference, Mike Brown had a serious face and did not show his white teeth.
He kept saying that the Thunder's performance was excellent, and the Lakers were forced to the corner, and they used their strongest strength.
"The next game in Oklahoma will definitely be a hard battle, and we will definitely go all out."
Mike Brown now knows the truth about saving character, so he didn't say anything at the press conference.
He is not Li Liang. He dares to say anything. Staying in the frontline is a good way to meet each other in the future. You don’t keep your face.
So this conference did not bring Li Liang's big mouth.
After all, after getting the match point, there is only one game left. The Lakers outperformed their opponents, so Li Liang didn’t need to be able to talk.
And Li Liang had a leisurely time and went home early to accompany Zhu Shu to watch the night scene.
...
The next day, the fifth game of the Miami Heat and Pacers in the East started at the American Airlines Center.
Unlike the West Lakers' offensive breakout ~EbookFREE.me~ This Miami man played a suffocating defense.
The Indiana Pacers remained in the first half, leading by 4 points.
In the third quarter, the Heat's defense seemed to wake up suddenly, hitting the Pacers 30:13 in a single quarter, overtaking the score in one fell swoop.
The Pacers scored 13 points throughout the quarter, not as much as James.
The heat-tight rotation and the high-intensity oppression made the Pacers completely lose their offensive feeling.
In the end, the Heat 90:79, contained the Pacers score below 80 points.
The Heat, like the Lakers, won Tianwang Mountain at home, only one step away from the finals.
It's just that the Lakers rely on offense, while the Heat rely on defense.
With one attack and one defense, people are even more looking forward to the duel between the Lakers and the Heat Finals.
