NBA bench saves national team

At this time, the Thunder and the Lakers are conducting pre-game interviews.

Thunder team interview room.

"Qin, this is the third time in your career that you have met the Lakers in the playoffs. How do you feel now?"

a reporter asked.

"A very familiar old opponent! This is about to be the third time I have eliminated the Lakers!"

Qin Feng said lightly, his tone full of confidence.

The reporters were also a little helpless with Qin Feng's answer.

What is about to eliminate the Lakers for the third time?

I really don't take the Lakers seriously!

But then again, the Lakers have been eliminated by the Thunder twice, which is really miserable enough.

When will he be able to break through the Thunder team and go further in the playoffs? I am afraid that Qin Feng will leave the Thunder team next season at the earliest.

But if Qin Feng joins a western team, then the Lakers still have little chance.

Kobe is also a little pitiful. At the end of the peak of his career, he encountered such a pervert as Qin Feng, which made it impossible to achieve more great achievements in the latter part of his career.

Of course, the more pitiful thing is LeBron James, who directly entered Qin Feng's era before he had time to start his own era.

"Dayao joined the Lakers for a championship trophy. Do you think Yao still has a chance to win a championship trophy with the Lakers?"

a reporter asked.

This question can be described as very tricky.

"There is definitely no hope for this season, but the future is uncertain. Who knows how the Lakers' management will strengthen next season?"

"After all we all know that if it weren't for the damn 'basketball reasons,' the Lakers would have Kobe and Chris Paul in the lineup right now!"

Qin Feng said, with a little regret in his tone.

"You look a little sorry?"

A reporter asked in disbelief.

"Yes! Because when the Lakers build a super lineup of Kobe and Paul, then this series will become interesting, and now, there is no suspense."

Qin Feng shook his head and said, feeling very sorry.

There was one more thing he didn't say.

If he joins the Lakers next season, he, Kobe, and Chris Paul will be able to form a lineup of the Big Three, and then he will be able to sweep the entire league with absolute strength.

The reporters were a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, Qin Feng was not glad that Paul failed to join the Lakers, but felt regretful instead.

This is really fun.

Other players hope that their opponents are as weak as possible, while Qin Feng hopes that their opponents are as strong as possible.

Invincible people are really elusive.

After asking a few more questions, the reporters ended their pre-match interview.

Lakers interview room.

"Kobe, facing the Thunder again, how do you feel at this moment?"

a reporter asked.

"I'll try to get revenge! I won't forget the Thunder eliminated us in the playoffs twice!"

Kobe said in a cold voice, with a cool expression on his face.

"Now that the Thunder's Durant is injured, his strength has declined sharply. Are you confident in overthrowing the Thunder in this series?"

a reporter asked.

"Of course! I will do my best to win this series!"

Kobe said confidently.

"Dayao, you and Qin are both from China, and now they will compete in the playoffs. How do you feel now?"

a reporter asked.

"I'm very excited! I didn't expect to have such a day in my NBA career. I hope that more and more Chinese players will emerge in the NBA in the future!"

"As for this series, I will do everything to help the team eliminate the Thunder."

Dayao said seriously, his eyes filled with determination.

He has always been like this, he is meticulous about the game, always calm and firm, not as passionate as the American players, but he is always very tough in the game, just like the Great Wall of China, silent but able Reassuring.

After completing the pre-match interview.

Players from both sides came to the court and started the pre-match warm-up session.

This time, Dayao didn't take the initiative to find Qin Feng to fight Chaoju.

Although he and Qin Feng are very good friends, but in this critical and very serious game, he thinks that greeting Qin Feng will affect the mentality of his teammates.

The atmosphere was a little depressing.

In the blue Ford Center arena, the Lakers' yellow looks a little lonely.

The warm-up before the game is over soon.

The starters of both sides came on stage.

The Thunder's starting lineup is Chandler, Ibaka, Redick, Qin Feng, and Westbrook.

The starting lineup of the Lakers is Bynum, Gasol, Artest, Kobe, Fisher.

beep.

The referee blew his whistle and threw the basketball high.

Bynum and Chandler jumped at the same time.

The two touched the basketball almost at the same time, but Bynum's momentum was more fierce and he used more strength to shoot the basketball.

Fisher received the basketball, slowly dribbled the ball across half court, and then passed the basketball to Gasol.

Gasol singled Ibaka, turned around and shot a jumper after continuous shaking.

As a big man in the penalty area, Gasol, like all European players, has comprehensive and very delicate technical movements.

The basketball draws a perfect arc.

Swish.

Hollow into the net.

Ibaka, who is only 2.08 meters tall, still struggles to defend Gasol, who is over 2.1 meters tall.

And it is worth mentioning that Ibaka and Gasol are teammates of the Spanish team, so the two are also very familiar with each other's playing styles.

Obviously Gasol is much better than Ibaka, so Lakers coach D'Antoni also designed a strategy for Gasol to single Ibaka in the customized game plan.

The Thunder attack.

After Westbrook dribbled the ball for halftime, facing Lao Yu's defense, he directly chose to break through.

The old Yu Yu couldn't keep up with Westbrook in terms of footsteps and reflexes, so he could only watch helplessly as the young and strong Westbrook ran towards the penalty area.

Gasol came back to defend.

Westbrook had no fear, and against Gasol's defense, he completed a difficult pick-up in the air.

The basketball spun several times on the hoop, and fell into it wobbly.

The scene immediately remembered the cheers.

Kobe Bryant looked grim, and after running through the half court, he took the initiative to ask for the ball from "Old Fish" Fisher, then singled out Qin Feng, and after a continuous change of rhythm dribbles, he suddenly broke through from the right.

Qin Feng did not lose his position at all, and followed Kobe to move sideways.

Sudden.

Kobe slowed down his breakthrough speed, paused rhythmically, and then suddenly accelerated again, taking a step away from Qin Feng.

He knew very well that he couldn't get rid of Qin Feng's defense, so he didn't continue to break through the penalty area after throwing away Qin Feng's distance by one step, but moved sideways and retreated. Direct emergency stop back jumper.

Qin Feng was caught off guard and didn't keep up with these two steps, so he could only jump on the spot to block the block.

But it didn't work.

The basketball draws a perfect arc.

Swish.

Hollow into the net.

Kobe fell to the ground without any celebration, but calmly turned around and returned to defense.

But the domineering aura on his body still couldn't be hidden.

The silence speaks!
