Chapter 623 The Lakers Out
The remaining set of matchups in the West is the Lakers facing the Thunder.
The Lakers are naturally no longer the defending champions in the past two years. They have no hard power to compete for the championship, but because this team has Kobe Bryant, this team is still considered by all experts to create possibilities. team.
Of course, in the eyes of more people, this game is a round of the Western Conference. In the eyes of most people, after this series, the Thunder will become a powerful team in the Western Conference in the next few years. From the perspective of this group of people, when it comes to the top teams in the West in the future, the Thunder must be a name that everyone cannot avoid.
The Lakers will gradually go downhill after this round of the series, but the handover of the kingship is like this. No team can fight against time. Hasn't the Bulls, which won three consecutive championships for the first time, become the dust of history now?
This Lakers team is not that great yet, and for this reason, they naturally cannot escape the loss of time.
However, despite this, in the first game of these two teams, the final winner was somewhat beyond everyone's expectations. The Lakers finally won the first game.
Kobe Bryant scored a total of 28 points in this game, especially in the crucial fourth quarter. He scored 15 points alone. In the end, under his performance, the Lakers scored 108 to 105 with a 3-point difference from The Thunder's road trip takes the series' home-court advantage to Los Angeles.
"We are not old yet. Two years ago, we were still champions. We have our own glory. This cannot be easily replaced by anyone. Therefore, if you want to beat us, you should be mentally prepared first. Well, we are not so easily defeated, and we may even defeat all opponents!"
Kobe's domineering words after the game also made the fans excited after the game:
"This is why I like Kobe, he is always full of confidence, and this confidence always allows him to perform some incredible performances, he is so good, yes, I want to say, Thunder The team is really good, but if Kobe is not willing to let go of the crown on his head, then no one can make him take it off!"
"Many people are saying that this era belongs to Yi, LeBron, and Kevin Durant. Many people are saying that this is the era of small forwards. They deliberately ignore Kobe, but don't forget , the Black Mamba just broke Michael Jordan's record in the All-Star Game, he became the player with the most total points in the All-Star Game, okay! Some people may say, this is a qualification, but listen, Kobe Bryant is still breaking some records, until he stops his footsteps, please still treat him as the most terrifying guy in this league, otherwise, he will definitely suffer!"
"This is Kobe, this is why he is called the closest person to Michael Jordan, don't underestimate him, he will make you pay not only the home court advantage, but even more!"
……
Kobe's fans were very excited about Kobe playing so well in the first game, because they had read too many reports that were not optimistic about this team before the game, and they just couldn't refute it.
The performance of the Lakers this season is indeed not as good as that of the Thunder, and the overall strength is indeed not as good as that of the Thunder on paper. In terms of the talent of the lineup, the Lakers, who were full of talents at the beginning, have also become A group of veterans!
It is precisely because they cannot refute that that this group of guys can only cheer in their hearts, cheering for Kobe and his Lakers. They hope to see Kobe win, so that they can vent their anger, and the fact is that Kobe It did, and the time after Game [-] of the series became their carnival time.
But what they didn't expect was that these experts and fans were still not optimistic about the Lakers. They believed that the final victory would still belong to the Thunder, because they felt that the Lakers were completely incapable of defeating the Thunder. Perhaps Kobe was one of them. , but it is impossible for him to contribute 14 points in the last quarter of every game. It can also be done, but now, he can't do it, his physical fitness limits him to do such things!
From the fact that Kobe sat on the bench for a long time before standing up after the first game, it can be seen that he no longer has the physical fitness when he scored 81 points in a single game that year!
He is getting old.
The experts still supported the Thunder, which made Kobe fans feel unreasonable, but in the second game they found that the experts might be right!
Because of the second game, the Thunder won and won very easily. Kobe failed to keep up with the previous game in this game, scoring 14 consecutive points in the last quarter!
He still scored 32 points in this game, more than the previous game, but he only scored 8 points in the final quarter. This number is already considered high for other stars, but for Kobe, for the whole ball For Kobe, whose team is hanging on him, such a contribution is not enough to help the team win!
The score was tied at 1-1!
In the eyes of Lakers fans, this means that the Lakers still hold the home court advantage, so they are very optimistic, because they will answer the home game next. Under the watchful eyes of the home fans, they believe that the Lakers will continue to win.
Go to Oklahoma with a big score of 3-1.
I have to say that the Lakers fans' guesses are still a bit accurate.
The final score was really 3-1!
However, the leading side is the Thunder, who have completed two consecutive victories at the home of the Lakers.
The hero of the two-game winning streak is Kevin Durant, the head of the Thunder who performed tepidly in the first two games of the series. He scored 36 points and 40 points in these two games respectively.
Using super offensive firepower to help the Thunder win two consecutive games and retreat from the Lakers' home court, and they not only regained the home court advantage, but also got back 3 match points. Of the three games, they only need to win one game to win.
The Lakers fought desperately in the fifth game of the series, but in the end, Kevin Durant used a mid-range shot to widen the point difference to 15 points and seal the victory.
In this game, Kevin Durant scored another 35 points, becoming the first player in Thunder team history to score more than 35 points in three consecutive playoff games!
4-1!
The Lakers are out.
