Chapter 1973: Crucial 1 cm


The third game between the Lakers and the Thunder!
This game was also fierce. The Lakers took the lead in the first half. They successfully locked Westbrook. Although Durant scored 26 points in the half, he still couldn't get the advantage of the score. After all, the Lakers did this. Bian was all online tonight, and 4 people had scored in double figures in the half, and the substitute Artest was 3 of 3 from three points.
However, the superior Lakers ran into trouble in the third quarter. In the previous two games, Harden, who was drinking soup with his eldest brother, became the spoiler.
He scored 18 points crazily in the third quarter, which is also the highest score in a single quarter of Harden's personal playoffs. This kind of play directly reversed the situation and both sides returned to the same starting line.
In the fourth quarter, Harden was still brave. His performance was faint. Not only could he score on his own, but he could also assist to drive his teammates. The Thunder turned out to be Harden's one-man show, and it was Harden’s assists that helped the Thunder. Equalized the score!
Even worse, at the last moment of the game, it was Harden who stood up again!
A vital and valuable offensive rebound!
Originally in the last minute, the Lakers still had a 1-point lead through the previous operations. After the timeout, the Lakers' defense was very tight. Ji Feng locked Durant so that he could not receive the ball. The ball had to be given to Westbrook. Westbrook’s game was so-so, with only 18 points in the previous game. Westbrook broke through and suffered double-teaming. Ji Feng and Kobe made Westbrook only desperately backward!
The slow motion shows very clearly, Ji Feng's fingertips are only 1 cm away from Westbrook's basketball at most!
What is the distance of one centimeter?
On many occasions, this is a distance that can be omitted or neglected. On the stadium, many people will ignore such a small distance. However, one centimeter really affects the outcome of the entire game!
The ball is naturally hit. No one can easily score the ball under the JK encirclement. This season, in the case of the JK encirclement, the opponent's shooting percentage is only a terrible 17.8%, the turnover rate is as high as 49.8%, and it is steals. With a rate of 33.4%, these data words are crazy, which is also in line with the title of the best defensive combination in JK history. It's not bad for Westbrook to be able to vote.
However, this one-centimeter distance changed the situation. The ball that popped up flew a little far away. This position happened to be in a neutral position. This was also the inevitable result of choosing a pincer. Bynum was the closest to the ball and he was excited to prepare. The rebound was taken to ensure victory, but Harden suddenly shot from the wing to control the rebound!
"Harden~!" The live commentator roared, he seemed to see Victory beckoning with them!
However, the Lakers are also really good. When Harden took off the rebound, Ji Feng immediately abandoned Durant and chose to fill the spot. That position was too dangerous. Let alone Harden's hit rate, change to a small one. The role is also very sure to send the ball into the basket, the Lakers are too passive!
But Ji Feng was fooled, Harden didn't even think about coming by himself, he directly transferred to Durant in the low corner, and Adu shot directly without defense.
Huh!
Durant hit a go-ahead goal!
Cheers rang out, and the Lakers called a timeout. Durant only gave the Lakers the last 4 seconds.
The Lakers' final lore was assigned to Kobe, but this time Kobe failed to save the team like the second game. His three-pointer bounced out. Although Gasol had a rebound, he was not under interference. Able to shoot the first time, the final time is over, the score is fixed at 109-108, the Thunder beat the Lakers by 1 point!
The Thunder won, the Lakers won their first defeat in the playoffs this season, and the big score of the two teams has become 2-1, returning to a relatively balanced situation.
After the game, Harden, who had a game-high 32 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists, embraced Westbrook, who had 19 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. The two were very excited. If they were not on the scene, they would be able to directly. Undressing and running wildly.
And the hit is quasi lore. Durant, who scored 31 points in this field, lay on the floor for a long time without getting up. Under the undulating shoulders, his eyes should be crying red.
Ji Feng shook his head and turned to leave with a pity. When he walked near Adu, everyone patted Adu's shoulder on the floor. Before he got up, Ji Feng took the lead to leave.
To be honest, Ji Feng understands Adu’s pressure. Although he has always been called a double star of 07, everyone knows that the gap between the two has been getting bigger and bigger. Although Adu’s growth is higher than expected, it has been better than The vast majority of people in this league will be stronger and more powerful, but after only five seasons, Ji Feng has secured his place as the first man in the league and has a place in history, with 4 consecutive championships and 4 regular regulars. Match MVP, 3 consecutive finals MVP, 4 consecutive best defensive players, 5 consecutive doubles, plus various other honors, such honors are firmly placed in the top ten, even the top five, in the third place. In this position, his honor has surpassed Pippen and Big Bird, and he is only one step away from the of basketball, Jordan. What he lacks now is nothing more than the accumulation of time. If you only look at the first 5 years of his career, the season The peak is the existence that no one can touch.
How could such a gap make Durant indifferent? The poor 10-game losing streak of Ji Feng in the playoffs was nothing short of a mountain, and he could not breathe. Until tonight, he finally tasted the taste of victory. The mountain that represents pressure has finally become shorter.
This is undoubtedly a very important night for Durant.
After three years, the Thunder finally defeated the Lakers in the playoffs!
"Tonight for the entire Oklahoma City, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is of great significance. They finally defeated the mountain in front of them. Although it was only a small game, they still fell behind by a big score, but this It is undoubtedly a very important day for the Thunder. This is also the first time they have tasted victory in the Western Conference since they came to Oklahoma. Cheers, friends, at least tonight, the victory belongs to you." The live broadcast room said.
Ji Feng, who scored 24 points, 16 assists and 8 rebounds in this game, also praised the Thunder's performance after the game: "They did a good job, we have less luck, but they are worthy of this victory."
Ji Feng's mentality is still very good. The Thunder in this game was obviously stimulated by external comments. They played very well overall, and it was reasonable to win in the end. They did not pursue a complete victory and it was not a big problem to lose.
And Kobe took the initiative to take the blame after the game: "We played very well, and it is my responsibility not to vote in the final. In the next game, we will come back."
Lakers fans have also sent solace, but the Heat fans have gloated that it seems that the Lakers are still some distance away from the Finals.
However, after only one day, they can't laugh...
