The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 387

When Curry also hit a three-pointer, the Thunder realized that playing offense was wrong.

They replaced Robertson again to block the Warriors' outside line, but after Robertson came up, he fouled twice. Since the Thunder were extremely entangled, the Warriors helped their opponents choose.

Robertson fouled too much and was forced to leave the field. The Thunder could only grit their teeth and replace Kanter. Let's say, let's hurt each other on the offensive end.

Kanter belongs to the inside line with strong offense and weak defense. If he uses it well, he can deal with the Warriors, but it is difficult for him to get many offensive opportunities in the Thunder's system.

The Warriors won't give it either. Where will the rhythm of the two teams fall? Look at the inside singles.

Of course, the Thunder led the way in rebounds, and because of this, the Thunder were not taken away by the Warriors.

The two sides were at a stalemate. The difference was that the Thunder's juniors didn't rest at all, and the Warriors took turns to adjust several strong points for 2 minutes.

At the last moment of the third quarter, Kanter grabbed an offensive rebound and hit, and the Thunder entered the fourth quarter with a 2-point advantage.

From a 3-point advantage to a 2-point advantage, at least they are still ahead, and they can win the game by gritting their teeth.

Will the Warriors give their opponents a chance, never.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Zhang Xiaotian broke through and gave the ball to Klay Thompson, who made another three-pointer.

Zhang Xiaotian was originally leading the team alone during this time period, but he was upgraded only when he encountered the Thunder. Let Zhang Xiaotian and Klay Thompson work together, and the effect was very good.

Durant charged with the ball again and then used a high mid-range shot, but was interfered by Zhang Xiaotian again.

But Durant is strong enough, and then he blocked Klay Thompson in the defense and then drew a foul on the Warriors.

But then Zhang Xiaotian and Klay Thompson each hit a three-pointer, and the Warriors took the lead again, and the Thunder soldiers felt tremendous pressure.

What to do, it is impossible to come up with any clever tricks now, everyone has played a few games, and they know each other well, so it can only be said that they will change to the main force and fight hard.

But Durant singled Zhang Xiaotian and failed again, and in turn Klay Thompson hit a three-pointer.

Before they could react, Curry also returned to the court.

The Thunder had no choice but to hand the ball to the star and watch him eat.

Durant was obviously tired. In this situation, Zhang Xiaotian activated his skills again, almost completely restraining Durant, and the Thunder played extremely hard.

Will a miracle happen? There may be a miracle, but the Warriors will not allow it.

But when Zhang Xiaotian, Curry and Klay Thompson hit consecutive three-pointers, the Warriors' lead has reached double digits.

The time is already the last 3 minutes, it can be said that the Thunder was taken away by a wave.

Theoretically, they still have hope, but seeing Durant and Westbrook are exhausted enough, shooting constantly, the balance of victory and defeat has been tilted very clearly.

The Thunder fans in the Chesapeake Energy Arena felt suffocated, the hope of advancing to the finals was getting smaller and smaller, and some even started crying.

The time entered the last minute, Durant missed a three-pointer, and the outcome of the game was decided.

113:101, the Warriors defeated the Thunder 4:2 to win the Western Conference Championship and advanced to the finals with their heads held high.

The Barkley series had previously predicted that the Thunder would end the duel in six games, and it really was six games, but the winner was another team.

The Cavaliers and Warriors faced off again. They had exactly the same record in the series before entering the finals, but Zhang Xiaotian's team in the lineups of both sides has changed, just like the Heat and Spurs did.

Will history repeat itself? Who is the king? The 74-win fantasy team, the strongest player in the league, and the finals are full of gimmicks.

The first game of the finals will start on June 6. Before that, various gossips are flying all over the sky.

How come James will decide 3 if he can't win the championship, what Zhang Xiaotian and Curry had a conflict in training, all of them said it vividly, as if they saw it with their own eyes.

There are also several versions about Zhang Xiaotian's contract. There is Zhang Xiaotian who wants to renew his contract with a maximum salary. The Warriors let him replace Curry as the core.

Regardless of these messy news, Zhang Xiaotian is still very successful this season, because he finally has honor.

The Warriors have gained a lot of honors this season. Cole's best coach and Curry's most valuable player, this buddy also won the scoring and steals champions, which is enviable.

The Warriors gained the most from the best team. Curry and Westbrook, James, Leonard and Jordan got the first team, Zhang Xiaotian got the second team with Paul, Lillard, Durant and Cousins, and Klay- Thompson and Draymond Green entered the third team together.

In addition, the best defensive team Draymond Green and Paul, Bradley, Leonard and Jordan are in the first team, Zhang Xiaotian also entered the second team, together with Tony Allen, Jimmy Butler, Paul - George and Whiteside.

Getting a gold-rich double team in one season, although not a first team, is Zhang Xiaotian's greatest achievement since entering the league.

Of course, his statistics this season are also the best.

场均21.4分6.3个篮板5.1次助攻1.5次抢断0.8次盖帽，妥妥全明星级别。

Because of the Warriors' outstanding performance, all four of them entered the best team, which is the first time in league history.

From this point of view, the Warriors' lineup in the finals is basically bullying James.

Faced with the expectant eyes of the reporter, Zhang Xiaotian just expressed his determination to win the game in a non-salty way.

The most cheering players on both sides are definitely not the core players. Star players want to save face. They just need to say a few words to show their confidence.

During the regular season, the Cavaliers fired their coach because of their loss to the Warriors.

Now that it's the playoffs, it's natural that the regular season and the playoffs are completely different, but the Cavaliers must be under a lot of pressure in such a matchup.

Unlike the previous Spurs, James is now in full swing, and he must not see failure.

The Warriors also came from the beginning with 74 wins in the regular season, and of course they don't want to see failure.

There are always rumors in the outside world that whichever side loses will disband the lineup. In fact, it cannot be completely wrong. There are more than two teams paying the luxury tax, but they are the two teams most eager to win the championship, and they also have this strength.

If you can't win the championship, why spend a lot of money to maintain the lineup? If you continue to spend money, you have to try another lineup.

With doubts and expectations, the fans of the two teams finally waited until the finals.

It is still the Warriors' home court, no matter who they meet, they have this advantage.

"Go."

After cheering together, the Warriors rushed to the court, and the audience cheered like a wave.

Zhang Xiaotian waved to the fans calmly, he has experienced such a scene several times.

This time, he will try his best to pursue his fourth championship ring.
