NBA: Come off the bench, save the national team

A long intermission passed.

The second half of the game begins.

The Thunder changed the starting lineup. This time Qin Feng was not placed at shooting guard or center, but at point guard.

Westbrook hit the shooting guard.

Originally, Brooks was hesitating whether to put Westbrook on the bench and let Redick, who has a stronger three-point shooting ability, start.

But this idea just flashed in his mind, and was denied by Brooks.

Redick is only better than Westbrook in three-point ability, and Westbrook is better than Westbrook in all aspects.

It is a pity that such a powerful player is placed on the bench.

At the same time, since the Mavericks are resolutely double-teaming Qin Feng to limit his scoring, then simply let Qin Feng play point guard and completely dominate the team's offense.

Qin Feng's ability to lead the team is fully released at the point guard position.

Even if he is double-teamed, he can still accurately find the open teammates and pass the basketball out.

The third quarter is over.

Qin Feng scored 6 assists again in a single quarter, bringing his assists in this game to 19, which set a new record for Qin Feng's assists in a single game in the playoffs.

Under the strong performance of Durant and Westbrook, the Thunder also reversed the point difference and gained an 8-point lead.

Enter the fourth quarter.

The Mavericks' offense suddenly misfired.

The Thunder played an 8:0 climax, opening the point difference to 16 points in one fell swoop.

Carlisle called a timeout in time to adjust, and then replaced the team's strongest offensive lineup, but to no avail.

Because of Qin Feng's defense, the Mavericks' strongest perimeter fighter was completely blocked.

In addition, Peja, another three-point marksman, is in a mediocre state.

The Mavericks misfired across the board.

When there were many points behind, the players of the Mavericks were a little flustered on the court, and they also relaxed their defense against Qin Feng.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qin Feng hit two more three-pointers.

The point difference was opened to more than 20.

Nowitzki broke out and scored consecutively to help the team close to the score, but Durant waved the scythe of death and also showed the demeanor of a superstar. He received consecutive passes from Qin Feng and made mid-range shots to help the Thunder lead steadily. Advantage.

With 3 minutes left in the game, the Thunder still held a 19-point lead.

The game basically lost its suspense.

Carlisle's eyes were empty and he looked dazed. In the last minute, he was replaced by a pure substitute lineup.

Finally the game is over.

125: 108.

The Thunder made another victory with a 17-point advantage and completed two consecutive away games, which also brought the big score to 3:1.

In this way, this road trip not only regained the home court advantage, but also pushed the Mavericks into a desperate situation.

The battle of Tianwang Mountain still did not happen after all.

If the Thunder return to home and win another game, they will eliminate the Mavericks and advance to the Western Conference Finals.

本场比赛，秦风依然是统治攻防两端，得到32分17篮板25助攻5抢断2封盖的超级三双数据。

Among them, 25 assists in a single game directly set a record for the number of assists in a single playoff game in NBA history.

The previous record holder was 24 assists in a single game jointly maintained by "Magic" Johnson and Stockton.

并且秦风还打出了30+得分的三双表现，且只差3个篮板球，就能够完成30+20+20的超超级三双。

除了秦风表现出色。“死神”杜兰特也同样发挥出色，26投16中，三分球7投4中，罚球3罚3中，以极高的效率砍下39分6篮板2助攻的数据。

The two teamed up to kill the Mavericks.

All the players of the Mavericks left the field lonely again.

All the changes that can be made have been made, and the players have tried their best on the court, but they still haven't been able to beat the Thunder!

This is the absolute gap in strength.

After completing the post-match interview.

The Thunder team returned to Goose City by plane.

After two days of rest.

Game 5 is at the Ford Center.

The Thunder returned to normal and played a historic offensive, scoring 45 points in a single quarter.

The Mavericks scored only 27 points in the first quarter.

The Thunder took an 18-point lead in a single quarter.

Qin Feng scored 18 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals in a single quarter, once again dominating the game.

Halftime is over.

78: 53.

The Thunder extended their lead to 25 points.

The game completely lost its suspense.

Obviously, the Mavericks lacked fighting spirit and confidence in this game, and the performance of all players was sluggish.

After playing for a few minutes in the second half, the point difference was stretched to more than 30 points.

Carlisle had no choice but to replace all the starting players and replace them with substitute players who usually had no chance to play, so that they could feel the atmosphere of the next playoffs.

This season...is over.

Come back next season!

In the cheers of the audience.

competition is over.

秦风出战两节半的时间，轻轻松松砍下45分13篮板14助攻5抢断3封盖的数据！

The two core players Durant and Westbrook also scored 20+ points.

Mavericks here.

Nowitzki still played well, scoring 36 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists.

None of the other players scored more than 20.

The help Nuo Tianwang can get is indeed pitiful.

He got up and walked towards Qin Feng.

"Hey guys, congratulations on making the cut, you deserve it!"

Nowitzki said with a smile, but the smile was somewhat bitter.

"Thank you!"

Qin Feng said with a smile, and gave Nowitzki a big hug.

He knew very well in his heart that after this playoffs, the window for Nuo Tianwang's career to win the championship was completely closed.

Although I feel sorry for Nuo Tianwang.

But winners and losers.

Competitive sports are so cruel, there is always only one winner.

"Come on! I am optimistic that you will win the championship this year!"

Nowitzki said, turning and leaving with heartache, his figure was a little lonely!
