NBA bench saves national team

at this time.

The Lakers and Thunder are conducting pregame interviews.

"Qin, you will face the mighty Lakers. Are you still confident in sweeping the Lakers led by Kobe?"

The reporter asked, very curious.

"Of course! We will work towards this goal. I believe this will be a difficult process. After all, the Lakers are the most powerful team in the West, and they also have the top scorer in NBA history-Kobe Bryant special."

Qin Feng said seriously, with a dignified expression.

If there is any team in the entire league that makes him feel afraid, it must be the Lakers.

He played against the Lakers three times in the regular season and achieved a record of 1 win and 2 losses.

Every time it is the last moment of the game to decide the winner.

And the only game he won, if it wasn't for Qin Feng's frenzied use of consumable skills and the [Lore Jump Shot] skill to kill the Lakers, it would have been difficult to win.

Now his strength has improved again and has become stronger. I don't know if he can compete with the Lakers this time.

If not, then continue to use consumable skills!

In short, no matter what, he will win this series and break into the finals.

"Qin, you regard Kobe as one of the greatest offensive players in NBA history, so how do you evaluate your offensive ability?"

the reporter asked.

"Just remove one of them."

Qin Feng said calmly.

The reporter was stunned, and if the "one" was removed, wouldn't that be the greatest offensive player in NBA history?

Good guy.

How immodest!

The reporters continued to interview, their emotions had become agitated, and their anticipation for the game was increasing.

.......

Lakers interview room.

"Kobe, what do you think of Qin Feng's crazy performance in the playoffs?"

the reporter asked.

"Crazy! Unbelievable! Qin Feng actually averaged 50+ quadruple-double data per game, which really refreshed my three views!"

"I think Popovich and Duncan will definitely have a heart for this round of the series, and it will also impress them deeply and never forget it."

Kobe said, with a hint of surprise in his tone, and even a little appreciation.

"Do you think Qin Feng can play the previous performance in the series against the Lakers?"

the reporter asked.

"I'll guard him!"

Kobe did not answer this question directly, but said so, his eyes became sharper, and there was a faint murderous look in his voice.

Defend Qin Feng!

That also means that he will not be allowed to hit the sky-defying 50+ quadruple-double data.

Feeling Kobe's fierce murderous intent, the reporters all froze, knowing that this game must be bloody and bloody, extremely tragic.

......

After completing the pre-match interviews, the two teams came to the field to warm up.

"Man, who do you think will win Game [-] of the Western Conference Finals?"

The commentator Mike Breen asked his partner Barkley.

"Oh, this is really a very difficult question to answer. I still want to believe in the strength of the Lakers."

Barkley said with a smile, completely unafraid of slaps in the face.

Although he often digs pits for others, he is also the king of pit jumping, and he often speaks outrageously.

"Yeah! The strength of the Lakers is amazing."

"This team was considered to be the favorite to win the championship throughout the season, but Qin Feng's performance in the playoffs gave us some illusions."

"Let's see if Qin Feng can lead the Thunder to pose a threat to the Lakers?"

said Mike Breen, turning his eyes to the field.

Everyone knows that it was Qin Feng who brought the rebuilt Thunder team to a height that shouldn't have been brought, and it was he who made the teammates around him better.

The quality of Qin Feng's performance will directly determine the performance of the Thunder.

Compared with James to the Cavaliers and Kobe to the Lakers, the Thunder relies more on Qin Feng.

So Qin Feng is the barometer of the Thunder.

In the previous two rounds of the series, neither the Mavericks nor the Spurs had a player who could match Qin Feng, but this round of the series has Kobe Bryant, a superstar who combines offense and defense.

Can Qin Feng still perform as before?

This is perhaps the biggest highlight of the game.

beep!

The referee blows his whistle.

The starters of both sides came on stage.

The Thunder are still regular starters: Chandler, Jeff Green, Durant, Qin Feng, Westbrook.

The starting lineup for the Lakers is: Bynum, Gasol, Trevor Ariza, Kobe Bryant, Fisher.

Last year, due to Bynum's injury, the strength of the Lakers' restricted area was affected, and they eventually lost the championship.

Bynum made a strong comeback this season, and formed a twin-tower lineup with Gasol, forming the league's tough defense against the restricted area.

Snapped!

The basketball was shot by Bynum.

Fisher snatched the basketball and dribbled it across half court, then handed it to Bryant.

As a pseudo-point guard, the most Fisher did was responsible for dribbling the basketball across half court and then passing the ball to Kobe, while he was set up and waited to shoot a three-pointer.

Kobe held the ball at the top of the arc, and Qin Feng directly defended him.

Gasol mentioned the high post for the pick-and-roll.

This is the most commonly used pick-and-roll tactic for the Lakers.

With Gasol's cover, Kobe made a breakthrough and made a direct stop jumper.

The basketball arced high.

Swish!

Hollow into the net.

The Thunder attack.

After Westbrook dribbled the ball for halftime, he also passed the ball to Qin Feng.

After the All-Star Game, Qin Feng became the Thunder's main ball-handling core, and Qin Feng controlled all offensive initiation and drive.

This also caused Westbrook's tactical role to decline rapidly, and his performance on the court also plummeted.

However, Westbrook, who possesses extremely high talent, has won the trust of Brooks and has always played the starting position.

Qin Feng and Durant played pick and roll.

Bryant and Ariza stepped forward to double-team.

Qin Feng passed the ball to Durant in time, and the latter was empty two meters in front of him, and directly shot a three-pointer.

Swish!

hit.

Compared with the nervousness and confusion in the playoffs just now, Durant has fully used the intensity and atmosphere of the playoffs, and his performance on the court has also improved steadily.

In the series against the Spurs, he has increased his scoring average to 25.6 points per game, which is Qin Feng's biggest leader in the Thunder.

And Qin Feng and Durant's high pick-and-roll is also the Thunder's ace tactic.

Both of them have the ball ability to shoot three-pointers, as well as passing ability, breakthrough ability, and fast moving speed.

No matter who the Lakers choose to double-team, another player can attack and pass, and has very flexible changes.

Lakers offense.

Bryant passes the ball to Gasol.

Taking advantage of the mismatch, Gasol made an easy shot against Jeff Green's defense.

All teams know that there are two major disadvantages in the Thunder's starting lineup, one is Jeff Green's height and defense.

He originally played the position of small forward, but because of the overlapping position with Durant, he was helplessly pushed to the position of power forward.

Jeff Green, who has excellent physical fitness, seems a bit mediocre at the power forward position, and is often targeted by opponents.

So the power forward is the absolute weak link of the Thunder.

Throughout the playoffs, the two legendary power forwards Nowitzki and Duncan scored freely on Jeff Green's head.

Brooks can only arrange double-teams or help defenses to relieve Jeff Green's defensive pressure.

Today, Jeff Green is still being targeted.

Another major weakness of the Thunder is Westbrook's shooting ability.

Because the three-point shooting ability and mid-range shooting ability are very poor, Westbrook can't open up space for the team, which leads to defensive players who can safely go to the penalty area to make up defenses, while completely ignoring Westbrook who is standing on the outside.

Qin Feng once considered binding the training system to Westbrook to improve his shooting ability.

But what is embarrassing is that Westbrook's three-point shooting percentage is only 25%, and his mid-range shooting percentage is only 30%!

Even if it is improved by 5% through the training system, it is still lower than the average level of the league...

This made Qin Feng completely give up this idea, let's wait for Westbrook to improve himself.

After all, this is Westbrook's rookie season, and there is still huge room for improvement.

Even so, Jeff Green and Westbrook are still the best choice for the Thunder to start, and for now, no one can replace them.

In the off-season trading market this summer, the Thunder will definitely focus on strengthening these two points.

Closer to home.

The Thunder attack.

Qin Feng organized the attack with the ball at the top of the arc.

It was still a high pick-and-roll with Durant. This time the Lakers did not choose to double-team Qin Feng, but adopted a defensive tactic.

Qin Feng dribbled the ball to speed up, easily passed Gasol's defense and rushed to the penalty area.

Upon seeing this, Bynum stepped up to defend.

Qin Feng jumped high, put the basketball on his waist against Bynum's defense, and with a flick of his wrist, it passed to Chandler, who was vacant at the basket.

The latter received the basketball and easily dunked with both hands and scored.

The next few minutes.

You come and go on both sides, and you have a lot of fun.

And Kobe and Qin Feng seem to have discussed it in advance, they didn't take the initiative to start the personal offensive mode, and they kept passing the ball to assist their teammates!

This makes the fans anxious.

It's not a peak duel between the best players in the league, how can it be played so peacefully?
