In the regular season, Westbrook didn't face many double-teams, because Durant is a headache in the league, and double-teaming is also double-teaming Durant.

So the two double-teamed Westbrook, which made Westbrook a little flustered.

In a hurry, Westbrook's pass was blocked by Nick Young.

After stealing the ball, Westbrook became a little anxious, and immediately counterattacked and threw Nick Young to the ground. The referee called Westbrook for a foul and gave him a warning.

The Lakers attacked, Xu Feng continued to squat in the bottom corner to smoke, Durant and Ibaka continued to double-team Xu Feng, and handed over the ashtray.

Marshall organized the offense, and Westbrook stepped forward to press down fiercely. Maybe Westbrook was double-teamed too hard just now, so he was impatient, and his defense was particularly fierce.

Seeing that Marshall was in a hurry, Nick Yang hurried forward to respond.

Marshall quickly passed the ball to Nick Young.

At this time, Ibaka suddenly gave up Xu Feng and rushed to Nick Young.

This is also something that can't be helped. Nick Young just made a shot, and it feels hot, so he has to guard against it.

Anyway, Xu Feng is squatting in the bottom corner now, and has no desire to attack.

However, he was fooled again.

Seeing that Ibaka gave up on him, Xu Feng squeezed Durant away again and ran to the open space under the basket.

Durant was shocked and started to chase, but it was too late.

Nick Yang had quick hands and quick eyes and passed the ball to Xu Feng.

Adams immediately came to defend, but Xu Feng made a super pull and scored a difficult goal!
The Lakers scored another 2 points!
The Thunder's defense was penetrated again.

Xu Feng was relieved that he was not excited by his wonderful goal.

What excited Xu Feng the most was Nick Young's pass, which was very good!
This shows that the team has already had a benign chemical reaction and no longer relies on Xu Feng to fight alone.

At the end of the first quarter, in a battle of wits and courage, the two sides even tied at 33!
Xu Feng is very satisfied with the result. This is an away game, the Thunder's devil's home game.

If you can win the first game here, it will be of great strategic significance to the Lakers.

D'Antoni was also very excited. It was rare for him to take the initiative to greet the players when they were off the court, and gave them high-fives one by one.

"Well done, boys, we must win this game!"

On the Thunder side, the atmosphere is very delicate.

Although Xu Feng's rise strengthened the strength of the Lakers, making it to the second round for the first time.

But the Thunder, as the second-best team in the league, were beaten like this by the Lakers. Neither the club nor the fans would accept it.

The fans at the scene have already expressed their dissatisfaction. They even shouted "get off" when Westbrook made a free throw!
Although this is just the performance of extreme fans, it also shows from the side that the Thunder's performance today is too bad.

Coach Brooks yelled at the players: "Focus! Be sure to focus! Remember?"

The second quarter of the game began, and the substitute lineups of the two sides began to confront each other.

The Thunder's bench lineup is not weak. Fisher, Reggie Jackson, and Lamb are all players whose strength is equivalent to that of other teams' starters.

So the Lakers couldn't stand it anymore.

Except for Bazemore and Meeks who were able to score, the other substitutes were crushed by the opponent.

The point difference gradually widened. At 4 minutes and 36 seconds into the second quarter, the score between the two sides was 46:39, and the Thunder led by 7 points.

Seeing that the situation was not good, D'Antoni quickly called a timeout and replaced the main force again.

However, after the main force was replaced, Nick Young and Gasol lost their touch, Xu Feng was double-teamed again, and the Lakers' offense suddenly failed.

On the Thunder's side, Durant began to exert his strength. His three-pointers and breakthrough layups frequently tore through the Lakers' defense.

Although Xu Feng tried his best to defend, Westbrook's impact on the outside often shifted Xu Feng's defensive position.

Xu Feng is alone, unable to prevent the attacks from inside and outside lines.

The point difference did not shrink, but continued to widen.

At the end of the first half, the score between the two teams was 68:54, and the Thunder led by 13 points.

Durant scored 19 points in the first half, Westbrook scored 14 points.

Xu Feng scored 16 points in a double-team situation.

When the Lakers players left the court, they all bowed their heads and said nothing, and Xu Feng also looked helpless.

The overall strength gap between the two sides is obvious.

If the Clippers have Paul as a superstar, then the Thunder are two superstars, and Durant's scoring ability is much better than Paul's.

In this case, if you want to make a comeback, you are bound to ascend to the sky.

……

TNT live room.

O'Neal felt elated today. He looked at Barkley and said with a smirk, "The Thunder are not the Clippers. With Durant around, Xu Feng will stay away."

Barkley's face was solemn. He was very optimistic about Xu Feng, but at present, the overall strength of the Lakers is too weak.

Durant has Westbrook as a helper, but Xu Feng has no helper. Marshall and Nick Young are about to fall apart under Westbrook's impact.

If Xu Feng was given a healthy Kobe, it would be unimaginable!

"O'Neal, don't be so full of words. If other Lakers teammates suddenly become enlightened, the Thunder will not be able to stop them!"

O'Neill shook his head and said, "If they can be enlightened in two consecutive rounds of the playoffs, then they won't be worth this much. Impossible!"

What O'Neill said was true, and Barkley couldn't refute it.

……

The second half of the game started, and the situation on both sides did not change much.

Ibaka became even more arrogant in front of Xu Feng.

Although his double-teaming tactics are a sign of weakness in themselves, for team sports, the winner is king.

Any tactics allowed on the field are for victory.

"Hey, Xu Feng, I doubt how you beat the Clippers, you are too weak!"

After Ibaka dunked and scored, he pointed at Xu Feng and asked loudly.

Xu Feng ignored it, he knew that it was useless to talk fast, he had to find a way to defeat Lei Ting as soon as possible.

But the other players of the Lakers are really in poor condition, or to put it another way, the Thunder's defense is really strong.

With Xu Feng's efforts, the point difference between the two teams was stalemate for a few minutes, but they never exceeded 20 points, and there was still a little hope.

But with Durant's two consecutive three-pointers, the point difference widened to 22 points, and the Lakers completely collapsed.

Although Xu Feng scored 16 points in a single quarter in the third quarter, the team was still beaten.

After the start of the fourth quarter, the Thunder did not relax at all. They still remember the situation where the Clippers were reversed.

Therefore, the main force remains on the court and does not give the Lakers a chance to comeback.

In the end, the game ended, and the Thunder beat the Lakers 121:103 at home.

In the second round of the Western Conference playoffs, they took the lead with a big score of 1:0.

Xu Feng did not accept an interview after the game, but returned to the hotel silently.

As soon as he got back to the hotel, Yin Suwan called. He knew that Yin Suwan was here to comfort her.

But he didn't answer, but sent back a message to Yin Suwan: "I'm fine, don't worry about me, I want to be alone."

Yin Suwan also replied with understanding: "Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs, I love you!"
