Under the leadership of Durant, Lamb scored 6 points, Fisher, who was replaced, had 4 points, Butler hit a three-pointer, and Thabeet in the inside line also got a shot after Antetokounmpo and Whiteside were drawn out. Durant scored two points with a pass.

In the second half, Durant continued to start the game without a break. For the Lakers, Liu Ren also continued to start.

At the beginning of the game, Durant leaned over and hit a three-pointer under Liu Ren's block, showing the super strong shooting ability of the strongest three-pointer in history.

64 levels!After the start of the second half, the Thunder still clung to the score!

The fans at the scene watched the field with bated breath. This was the best game the Thunder played in the playoffs this year. Regardless of the outcome, the fans didn't care anymore. They thought it was worth it!What complaints do they need for their own team players to play so well?It's just bad luck this year!
The Lakers are now really going all out with hard power as Kobe said, but the Thunder still tied the score!It all depends on Durant who has scored 40 points!
Liu Ren held the ball with one hand at the top arc, his favorite position, with unprecedented fighting spirit.

Perry Jones, who was defending Liu Ren, looked at Liu Ren's shallow smile, but felt a chill in his heart.

start up!Liu Ren leaned forward and made a breakthrough!
Jones' tense nerves made him retreat quickly to block the direction of Liu Ren's breakthrough.

Liu Ren immediately stopped, retracted his body, stepped back and made a three-pointer to shoot a jumper!

Jones knew he had been duped!He wanted to turn around to defend, but his center of gravity was all in the direction of interception. He turned around forcefully, but there was only one result—he fell heavily to the ground!

Big gap!Liu Ren hit a three-pointer!

The Thunder players saw that Liu Ren even made such a goal, and a feeling that they were doing useless work shrouded the Thunder players.

Durant saw his teammates' morale being suppressed, so he naturally wanted to return it!
Big step back jumper!Liu Ren's blocking has pushed Durant to the limit, but Durant still hit a three-pointer when his body lost his balance!

67 levels!The score is still tied!

Durant and Liu Ren began another round of scoring and organizing offenses. Both of them have made great progress in this whole-hearted game, mainly in the aspect of organizing offenses. Both of them had a lot of assists before. , but the organizational ability is really mediocre, but in this game, the two of them were the real organizational core for the first time, and gradually felt some feelings, and their strength began to be further sublimated!
The Thunder still scored fiercely, but a fatal problem appeared, three points!

At the beginning of the season, Thunder head coach Brooks set the tone for this team's game this season, shooting less three-pointers, and there are too few Thunder players who can stably hit three-pointers.

Old-school basketball, this is how the Thunder play now. Unlike some other systems, such as Phil Jackson's triangle offense and D'Antoni's small-ball tactics, the Thunder's tactics revolve around Westbrook's breakthrough.

The Thunder is very strange. They have Durant, the top three three-pointer in the league, but the others are poor in three-pointers. There was the best sixth man who was very good at three-pointers, but was traded by the team. That person was Harden. , is now an All-Star.

Because of staffing issues, the Thunder can't hit small balls, and they don't have a pitcher, so they can only shoot as few three-pointers as possible. The guards dominate the offense and defense, just like the style of play in the 90s. Now the Thunder can shoot three-pointers at will. There are only Durant and Fisher, and Lamb only has the ability to open three-pointers.

But it just so happens that Coach Brooks is an old-school coach, and this style of play and configuration in the past few seasons was just in line with his wishes, but this year Westbrook didn't play, and his flaws were exposed all at once.

The Thunder's morale has been greatly improved after Durant's three-pointer hit again. They also have such a powerful superstar, so they are not afraid of facing each other!They also became more aggressive defensively.

Durant's physical fitness began to decline, and he continued to engage in high-intensity defensive confrontation with Liu Ren. He couldn't keep up, and replaced him with Jones to defend Liu Ren.

Facing Jones' flailing defense, Liu Ren rushed to the inside with a change of direction. Jones was doing well, and still followed up persistently.

But it's all useless!
Ignoring Jones' pursuit and Thabeet's block, Liu Ren threw the ball into the basket with a small hook. It is not so much a small hook as it is a farther layup. Liu Ren's release point has already surpassed the basket by half hand.

The Lakers lead by two points again!

Turning around, Thunder attacked, Liu Ren helplessly raised his right hand, Durant pretended to break through, but it was a shot, Liu Ren reacted quickly and rushed back, but Durant’s shooting action was still a fake, and then stuck to Liu Ren cause a foul.

Liu Ren was too nervous because of Durant's consecutive hits. He was fooled by Durant and forgot that this guy is the boss of the three giant swing brothers!

Durant's free throw was as reassuring as Nash, and the Thunder tied the score again!
The basket was like an ocean to Durant. He made consecutive shots. Under his leadership, the Thunder opened fire on the perimeter. The Lakers, led by Liu Ren, also exploded offensively in the third quarter!
Durant and Liu Ren played for three quarters without resting for a second, and the Thunder and the Lakers scored a 91 tie in the playoffs, finishing three quarters!

You must know that in the series that just ended in another division, the Heat beat the Nets in Game 89 with a score of 76 to [-]...

There were a few minutes of intermission, and Durant continued to start at the end of the quarter. He scored a three-pointer and sent an assist to Fisher in the opening game.

But at this time, the strength gap between the two sides began to emerge. No matter how hard Durant persisted alone, he could not fight against the entire Lakers.

After playing for 3 minutes in the fourth quarter, Durant's recovery was exhausted, and he could no longer fight against Liu Ren, who had many teammates to help him.

In the Thunder's current lineup, only Lamb and Thunder-Jackson can perform normally.

The veteran Fisher, who has high hopes, has lost his nostalgia for the Thunder now, and his open shots are okay. Don't think too much about asking him to show off at a critical moment like he did with the Lakers before.

Fisher is no longer focused on being a player.

Antetokounmpo, Kobe, Liu Ren, Green, Whiteside, the Lakers lineup is much stronger than the Thunder's current lineup in terms of talent and strength!If Westbrook and Ibaka were all in order, they could still have a fight with the Lakers, but neither of them were there. Durant carried the team alone for 40 minutes without a break, and even shot in the last 8 minutes. I have no strength left!

But it doesn't matter anymore. Liu Ren and Durant had a great duel. Durant scored 51 points, 6 rebounds and 11 assists, and Liu Ren scored 37 points, 14 rebounds, 10 assists and 4 steals. Both of them played their careers Best performance in the playoffs!
Both have strong statistics, but the Lakers lead by 102 points 97 to 5, and Liu Ren is even better in team performance!
After seeing Liu Ren's satisfied expression, Kobe knew that he had finally satisfied the kid's competitive spirit, and began to take over the game, leading the Lakers to a 14-3 run, widening the point difference and establishing the victory in one fell swoop.

In the end, Liu Ren scored a large triple-double with 40 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists. The Lakers swept the Thunder in the second round and advanced!
