I really don't want to win the MVP

Chapter 223 G2 Begins

The Golden State Warriors' loss at home in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals seems to have made them very angry, so they have become more united.

The Oklahoma City Thunder's victory in the first game also gave them a lot of confidence, and the whole team became more eager to win G2.

If the Thunder win G2, it is equivalent to winning two consecutive victories at Golden State's home court, and they will have three home court advantages in the next five games, then the Thunder must be in the Western Conference Finals this year. the winner.

But will the already proven strong Golden State native give the Thunder that chance?
In the first quarter, the Golden State Warriors showed an extremely tough defensive posture. They only allowed the Thunder to score 20 points in the first quarter.

Although the Warriors' own offense was blocked by the Thunder's defense, the Warriors still took a 7-point lead and took the lead in the first quarter.

Westbrook, who has tried medium and long distances, knew that today was another bad day, so he used his unparalleled impact again from the second quarter.

Durant also frequently hit the inside.

Thunder's second young master's offensive tactics have achieved results.

But the Warriors' outside line also slowly found a feeling. The Warriors scored 30:29 with the Thunder in the second quarter.

Although the difference is not much, but because of the lag in the first quarter, the Thunder entered the second half with an 8-point disadvantage.

While the Cavaliers were watching the game, James frowned.

There is no doubt that the Thunder are strong this year, but even with the first victory, it still seems to be unable to beat the Golden State Warriors.

If they meet the Golden State Warriors again this year, will the Cavaliers change what happened last year?

After all, this year's Curry is more accurate!

Clay's ability to run off the ball and catch the ball for quick three-pointers has also become more and more mature.

The big mouth monster Green seems to have become more irritable.

system!

The Warriors' system is really too mature!
The Knicks viewing room was very lively. The players did not show the sadness after losing the first Eastern Conference Finals, as if they had completed their task ahead of schedule because they reached the Eastern Conference Finals.

But everyone wants to get the NBA championship!
So everyone is also thinking: If you beat the Cavaliers, will you meet the Thunder or the Warriors?

They all have an answer in their hearts: Warriors!
Because the Warriors' offense is too smooth, it always gives people a feeling that cannot be restricted anyway.

The third quarter does not seem to be very important in the eyes of people who don't know the ball, but it actually determines who can enter the fourth quarter with an advantage.

The Thunder collapsed in the third quarter, scoring only 19 points in a single quarter, while the Warriors scored 31 points.

In the fourth quarter, in addition to some contributions from Westbrook on the defensive end, the offensive end was directly restricted and seemed invisible.

Durant wields his scythe alone again.

But this time it was not a harvest game, but a hard way to catch up with the score.

In the end, the powerful Golden State Warriors beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 118:91. The first two games of the Warriors' home game in the series were tied 1:1!

Jiang Mu breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had just been relieved from the pressure of the Warriors' offense and defense.

In addition to factors such as strength and on-the-spot changes in the game until now, it is often the team's background that is being fought.

From this perspective, the Knicks and Thunder are indeed inferior to the Cavaliers and Warriors.

This is why many people are more optimistic about the Cavaliers and Warriors.

Jiang Mu didn't care about all kinds of discussions and debates outside.

Because - the sun in the early morning of May 5 has illuminated this game day!

On May 5, the Knicks who stepped into the Quicken Loans Center Arena once again felt a stronger team atmosphere than the first game.

Cavaliers fans feel confident that their home team will once again take a tough stance against the new powerhouse New York Knicks.

It was still the opening players who greeted each other.

It is still the way for exciting home stadium commentators to mobilize the atmosphere.

Still a sea of ​​fans in red Cavaliers jerseys outside the Quicken Loans Center arena.

A whistle blows, and the game officially begins.

The Knicks successfully jumped the ball, the first round of the offense.

After taking the ball, Jiang Mu advanced to the frontcourt. Irving, who was defending Jiang Mu, could tell at a glance that the Knicks started with conventional tactics.

Porzingis stepped forward to prepare for the pick-and-roll. Owen was about to use his flexibility to break the pick-and-roll, but was surprised to find that Jiang Mu had no intention of bypassing Porzingis to break through.

Jiang Mu voted!

brush!
The shot clock only took 12 seconds.

"This Zhongguo Jiang doesn't play his cards according to the routine again!"

"It seems that the loss in the first game made this young man who refused to admit defeat ruthless and won this game!"

"Nonsense! We've fought to this extent, and no one wants to lose!"

"Today's China Jiang is very aggressive!"

Looking back, Irving really wanted to respond with a three-pointer, but he knew he couldn't do it. After all, Jiang Mu is a player who is very good at using his heart to fight. Irving, who got it right the first time, was still deeply impressed.

Irving passed the ball to James.

James used a breakthrough to find JR-Smith at a 45-degree angle, and Smith raised his hand and shot.

boom!Strike the iron!

Lopez got the ball and passed it directly to Jiang Mu. Jiang Mu pushed forward at full speed, and Owen followed him like a shadow.

Jiang Mu, who arrived in the front court, did not intend to slow down at all, and directly broke through from the right with his body against Owen.

Irving defended closely.

Jiang Mu stopped abruptly and pulled back on his right crotch, making Owen unstable in the center.

"Vote again? What's going on?"

brush!Hit again!

Today's feel. Not bad!
After scoring the goal, Jiang Mu showed no expression, but his teammates were extremely excited.

"Today's China Jiang's desire to attack is really too strong. Two three-pointers in two rounds, and the attack time is extremely short!"

"Yeah! Just imagine, China Jiang had quadruple-doubles and triple-doubles in his rookie season in the regular season. Although there were a few 30+ games after the playoffs, there were very few scoring performances!"

"It's true! The defensive intensity in the playoffs is too high. After all, he is also a first-year student, which is already amazing!"

Owen was a little depressed, he knew in his heart that Jiang Mu was completely serious, and felt Jiang Mu's fear for a while.

But Irving is not a person who admits counsel easily, especially in basketball, he rarely convinces someone.

James wraps his arms around Owen's shoulders.

"Kyrie, your three-pointers are no worse than him. He was too anxious to lose. Although he seems to be in good shape, we can still maintain our home victory!"

Owen nodded.

Jiang Mu's excellent situation gave other Knicks players confidence, and Jiang Mu, who scored two three-pointers in a row, received special care.

Relying on two [-]-point starts, the Knicks have always maintained a leading advantage in the first quarter, although the advantage is not large.
