NBA super point guard

The major media also commented one after another.

ESPN:

"The Lakers are in civil turmoil, and the Eastern Conference has ushered in the dawn!"

SI Sports Illustrated:

"The controversy reappeared in Los Angeles, and the rift between Kobe and the Sharks widened!"

No one said anything about the Thunder, but all eyes were on the Lakers. The defending champion made a mistake in the division finals, which attracted everyone's attention.

The Lakers staged a Journey to the East. The big shark and Kobe broke up and wandered away. The little shark is going to play this game now. Not crazy.

"Anyone who calls to talk about a deal, just press the phone for me!"

Kupchak was furious in the office.

Win this year's championship, then win another championship next year, and establish a dynasty. Who knows, the team's internal strife happened at a critical moment, and they are all directly descended from the Lakers. This is somewhat unacceptable.

The relationship between Kupchak and Kobe is also very average. For example, there was a previous transaction that did not follow Kobe's script, and Kobe directly criticized Kupchak in the media.

It is the consistent tradition of the Lakers to find the media to spray instead of communicating in private.

The reason why it is difficult for All-Star players to group together is because of possession of the ball.

The league executives like to group stars together, which is eye-catching and in line with the interests of the league, but grouping means sacrificing the ball. Many stars disdain to do that. Why sacrifice themselves to meet the needs of the team.

The greedy faces of the old beauties are vividly displayed at this time.

Oklahoma, General Manager's Office.

Presti specially convened a meeting with some players and the uniform team, head coach Brooks, assistant coach Kalamanda, Adams, as well as Durant, Westbrook, Green, Li Muhua, Harden.

This time the Thunder team unexpectedly entered the Western Conference finals, which made the general manager overjoyed:
"To be honest, Scott, you are doing really well. We all hope to go further. This year's results have exceeded the previous expectations. The boss decided to increase the reward!"

"Mr. General Manager, this is all the result of the hard work of the players!"

Brooks is very humble: "From the current situation of the Lakers, we have hope of winning."

"But it's still hard, isn't it?"

Kalamanda was not overwhelmed by the victory, frowning and expressing concern.

"Yes, our lineup has great flaws in terms of configuration." Brooks did not refute, but nodded seriously.

Presti had been listening to the two coaches talking, and was not in a hurry to intervene. Then he looked at the players and encouraged Durant to share his opinion. At this time, any voice may help the team.

Durant said directly:
"Sir, what if the Lakers don't have infighting?"

Brooks let out a sigh of relief:

"Kevin, I think you all know that the height inside is our biggest disadvantage. There are Li, James, and you. I am not worried about the outside shooting. If we lose in the Western Conference Finals today, there is no pity. As long as we do a good job of strengthening the interior, I believe we will never be afraid of the Lakers in the future!"

"Actually, the defensive issues we were worried about before can be seen in these two games. LI defended well on the perimeter. In other words, we actually have an advantage in organizing offense. The key is Kevin, Russell, Jeff Your play!"

"If we can dislocate the breakthrough, split the ball and support the Lakers' defense through dislocation, I believe victory will not be difficult!"

"It's not easy to find opportunities inside. If Bynum and Gasol are on the court at the same time, we must strive to expand the offensive range and reduce the pressure on the inside!"

Brooks spoke out the tactics formulated by the coaching staff in one breath.

Durant fell into deep thought.

As the absolute core of the team, Durant strictly follows the coach's tactics. As for how he can play, he has to consider the touch.

Brooks always adhered to the tactical thinking of the previous game. The Thunder lacked an inside advantage and could use dislocation to form an offensive advantage.

Last season, the Thunder finished last in the Western Conference and became the laughing stock of the media.

As a new team, coupled with tight funds, there are no veterans joining, all rookies, watching while playing, without any background.

After the Sonics sent Ray Allen away and immediately entered the rebuilding period, the management did not hesitate at all. The team needed fresh blood. Facts have proved that Presti has a very good vision.

Durant glanced at several players around him.

There are not many people who can give advice now, the good relationship is Green and Li Muhua.

The players made eye contact with each other, and Durant nodded in agreement: "Coach, we all want to win!"

Satisfied, Presti encouraged the main players again.

The Thunder's unexpected victory in the second game was due to the internal strife of the Lakers. Brooks had thought about it a long time ago. The Lakers would never give up the championship. They all knew that the real blood would come next.

The so-called internal strife now looks more like a joke, but it is not known whether the joke will continue.

There are still two days until the game day, and the players of the Thunder team are engaged in tactical drills intensely, and there is no rest.

The most in the league is the dislocation after the pick and roll.

The Thunder team's tactics are relatively simple, and the players are very familiar with it, but in terms of handling the ball, except for Li Muhua, the others are not doing well.

The Lakers' triangle offense has changed a lot. It is still unclear whether the Thunder will go up and cooperate with each other.

On May 5, the Thunder players came to the arena very early, and Westbrook looked a little depressed.

At the Ford Center Arena, players from both sides started the third game of the Western Conference Finals.

Because the Lakers made a farce in the last game, a lot of media came to the stadium. In addition to ESPN, there were also FOX Sports, Yahoo Sports, NBC and CBS, and even the Los Angeles Times came.

Many people are very concerned about winning or losing the Western Conference Finals, because this will determine who this year's championship belongs to.

The game starts soon.

Gasol wins the jumper and the Lakers attack.

Not surprisingly, Kobe wanted to hit the first ball. Durant was responsible for the defense. His height and long arms have a natural advantage in defense. Kobe held the ball and hit with his back.

Durant and Kobe took off at the same time, and Kobe made a backward shot in the air.

It can be seen that Kobe is in very good condition.

Bryant wasn't affected by Game [-].

Li Muhua saw that Brooks was frowning, obviously noticing that the Lakers team was completely different from the second game.

The Lakers in normal form are scary.
