: Five hundred and sixty: meet inevitably

The NBA playoffs are still going on in full swing. Except for the Grizzlies and Clippers in the Western Conference semifinals, which surprised people, the intensity of other games is far beyond people's imagination.
At first, people did think that the Grizzlies had a bigger win, but they didn't expect the Clippers to be unable to even a game. The gap between the fourth in the west and the first in the west seems to be a direct fault.
But it is worth mentioning that the Miami Heat were also very strong in the second round. Although they did not swept their opponents, they still won the Bulls without Rose with a total score of 4-1 and easily advanced.
4 to 1, this is the series with the biggest difference in total score in the division semifinals except for the Grizzlies' 4-0.
It seems that the chances of these two powerful teams meeting in the finals seem to have improved a lot. The promotion of Link VS James has been placed in every corner of the world by the NBA.
At this time last year, the entire league was hyping the 35VS6 showdown. Whenever Link turned on the TV, he would see Durant and James ads.
But this year, the advertiser became Link himself. It seems that even the league is very optimistic that the Grizzlies can advance to the finals. So this year, I will definitely not run into such a thing as "Thunder Third Whistle".
But now, everyone on the Grizzlies doesn't have the energy to think about things related to the Heat. Breaking out of the west is currently the most important goal.
It is also the goal that the Grizzlies have been unable to accomplish in the past two years.
In the West, the Thunder and the Spurs are just like people imagine, and they are inextricably beaten when they come up. The Thunder won the Spurs by 13 points in the first game, but in the second game, the Spurs immediately gave the Thunder a 7-point victory.
This season, although James Harden is away from Houston, the Thunder with Westbrook and Durant are still strong. Moreover, Kevin Martin also somewhat filled the vacancy left by Harden's departure. There is no doubt that the Thunder's goal is the championship, which is to get back what was lost last year.
The San Antonio Spurs have been salivating for the championship trophy this year after two seasons of setbacks. The humiliation of being eliminated by the Grizzlies for two consecutive years, the Spurs will not allow themselves to experience the third time.
Duncan's condition continued to improve this year, and his scoring average reached a three-year high. Leonard has made significant progress. He has grown from a small transparent last year to a hot potential star in the league. Danny Green has risen, Tony Parker and Ginobili are also very healthy...
Under such circumstances, the Spurs will not easily give up the chance to win.
So far, the Thunder and Spurs have battled to a 2-2 tie. Compared with the Grizzlies sweeping the Clippers 4-0, the Thunder-Spurs series is just what the Western Conference semifinals should be.
Watching these two teams fighting in the playoffs, Link is the happiest one. No matter who the Spurs and Thunder advance, they will inevitably consume a lot of energy and physical energy if they want to defeat each other. These things are undoubtedly very beneficial to the Grizzlies.
What the Grizzlies have to do now is to prepare for both hands. For the Thunder and Grizzlies, Stevens arranged special tactical training. Anyway, the Grizzlies now adjust their time. Who makes them the first team to advance in the league?
On May 16, the Grizzlies ended training early. Link did not stay for additional training today, but drove home early.
It's not because Link is slack, but because today is the day when the Thunder and Spurs start the sixth game of the series. And at this time, the Thunder had already won the match point with a total score of 3 to 2.
If they win again today, the Grizzlies' opponents in the second round will be determined!
Of course, Link is very concerned about his opponent in the next round, and the Thunder and Spurs game, Link will take pains to study. Therefore, his "additional training" tonight must be carried out with eyes and mind.
Prior to this, the Spurs and Thunder had tied 2-2. In the last key battle, Durant blasted 36 points to help the Thunder score match points.
Leonard at this time is not yet complete, but from Link's past experience with Leonard, that taciturn guy is still not easy to mess with.
Durant can easily score 36 points on Leonard, which shows that he is in good shape.
Today is a fateful night for the Spurs. Continue if you win, go home if you lose. Therefore, Link believes that they will definitely cause big trouble to the Thunder.
Until now, Link also believes that the Spurs and Thunder should have a tie-break to determine the winner.
In this way, the Grizzlies have a lot of rest time.
But as soon as the game started, Durant went straight into a runaway state!
In the first quarter of the game, Durant scored 12 points in a single quarter. It was not Durant's 12 points in a single quarter that made Link's surprise, but Westbrook's timely passes!
In this year's playoffs, Westbrook seems to have begun to pay attention to organization and passing. In addition to consistently hitting hard steel in the paint, Westbrook has begun to control the game more like a number one. Durant's number of offenses with the ball began to decline this year, increasing off-the-ball runs and cuts. The main reason is that the previous runs were useless, and the ball could not be passed in the hands of Westbrook or Harden. But this year, after Westbrook took the initiative to change, the Thunder's tactical execution was better than before.
In the first quarter, with the tacit cooperation of Durant and Westbrook, the Thunder led the Spurs by 6 points.
In the second quarter, Sergi Ibaka also began to play!
Serge Ibaka is now in the fourth grade this year, and he has grown into an out-and-out star player from the beginning of being small and transparent!
During the regular season, Ibaka averaged 13.2 points per game, a career high! At the same time, he averaged 3.0 blocks per game! At the same time as the block leader for two consecutive seasons, he was also selected as the best defense team last season!
Randolph, who had a bad knee last season, faced Ibaka. It can be said that he was abused to the full.
This year, even if Ibaka faced Duncan, one of the best power forwards in NBA history, he performed very well.
In the second quarter, Ibaka even took a shot, stupefied and put great pressure on Duncan. Ibaka's tactical status in the Thunder is actually very high. Without Ibaka, even if both Westbrook and Durant are there, the Thunder may not be able to pass the Spurs.
Under Ibaka's active defense, Duncan played abnormally in the second quarter, making 0 of 3 shots and not getting a point.
During the intermission, Link couldn't help thinking. Popovich was furious, but Duncan's expressionless picture was so funny.
But even so, the Spurs are only 8 points behind. The Spurs are a team-type team, a star misfired, and they won't crash directly. This is the characteristic of the Spurs and also their terrifying point.
Link thought that the two sides would fight fiercely in the second half. However, the Thunder's performance surprised Link.
In the second half of the game, Durant opened fire. With Martin, Sefrossa and Westbrook's restraint, the Spurs cannot defend Durant too closely.
Then Durant completely won the duel with Kawai. Durant this season is simply unstoppable. Although he lost the regular season scoring leader, in Link's view, Durant is stronger than before. In the playoffs, Durant averaged 30.8 points per game, which is enough!
Now Durant is the well-deserved scoring leader in the playoffs!
His jump shots, breakthroughs and strong offenses left Leonard helpless. The more Link looked, the tighter he squeezed his fists.
It seems that getting Jimmy Butler and others to prepare is a clear choice. Because in Durant's state, he can't be guarded casually.
On the Spurs' side, they couldn't stand up for someone who could score consecutively. Leonard is still immature on the offensive end, and the offense of the GDP trio is intermittent under the strong defense of the Thunder.
Danny Green made three three-pointers in a single quarter, but under Durant's powerful firepower, these three three-pointers were like stones thrown into the sea, unable to cause any waves.
In the third quarter, the Spurs were defeated. Link saw only Durant scoring again and again!
In the end, the Thunder entered the fourth quarter with a 13-point lead! The Thunder, which was eliminated early in the original history, has now pushed the Spurs into desperation!
In the last 12 minutes, the Spurs still failed to organize an effective counterattack. It seems that the Spurs really can only wait for Leonard to fully grow up next year before starting again.
This year, the Spurs got their wish and were not eliminated by the Grizzlies. But Link believes that Popovich will definitely not be happy~EbookFREE.me~ In the end, the Thunder are undertaking the Spurs and advanced to the Western Conference Finals with a total score of 4 to 2!
Just when everyone thought the Spurs and Thunder series would continue to worry, the Thunder suddenly used a wave of two consecutive victories to kick the San Antonio Spurs out of the game!
The Thunder and Grizzlies will meet in the Western Conference Finals for the second year in a row!
It's not that the enemies don't meet, the grudges between Link and Durant will continue to be staged in the highest level of the Western Conference!
After the game, Durant, who scored 42 points and 8 rebounds and shot 52.4% from the field, accepted an interview with ESPN reporters.
"Congratulations, KD, you played a nearly perfect game. Next time, when you come on again, your opponent will become the Memphis Grizzlies! As we all know, the Grizzlies are unmatched this season. The playoffs have not yet tasted defeat! Link has also grown very fast. This year, he is only 9 votes short and almost won the MVP. So this year, do you have the confidence to win?"
Link... Grizzlies... the Western Conference finals, these words are mixed, which is not very pleasant to Durant. So, although he just won the Spurs, Durant didn't even smile at all.
"The result will not change. Our goal is the championship. We are ready to level off all our opponents. Link? He can come and try, but he will definitely not succeed!"
After speaking, Durant stared at the camera and glared for a few seconds, as if he could see the Grizzlies players in front of the TV through the camera.
The three playoff games with the black duo eventually came inevitably.
Link rubbed his hands in excitement, and the Thunder really won today. But this year, he will not let the Thunder go to waste the chance to hit the championship!
If you can’t, let us go! See you in Memphis two days later!
