NBA bench saves national team

The battle in the west is set.

The situation in the east is also basically clear.

The Heat easily eliminated the Bulls with a big score of 4:1 and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals.

It can be said that the biggest sufferer of the Bulls in recent years is the Heat, and Rose's biggest obstacle in the East is LeBron James.

Just like when Jordan faced the "Bad Boys" Pistons back then, after years of failures, it was not until the seventh year of his career that he broke through the Eastern Conference and reached the finals!

So Rose still has a long way to go.

Fortunately, he is very healthy now, and occasionally a minor injury or illness will not affect his career.

Another set of contests against the Knicks vs. the Pacers is relatively anxious.

The Knicks have home-court advantage, but that doesn't give them an edge.

In the first game of the series, the Pacers won the Knicks away and took away the home court advantage...

Originally, the Knicks were more favored.

But in this round of the series, they did not play a real victory, especially the performance of substitute general Jr. Smith's hip pull, which directly reduced the Knicks' offensive firepower a lot.

If it weren't for Anthony, the superstar, to hold on, I'm afraid the Knicks would be even more unbearable.

The Pacers are more balanced offensive and defensive, and the staffing is also very balanced.

Relying on slightly better overall strength, the Pacers finally eliminated the Knicks with a big score of 4:2 and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Knicks are out with regret.

Fans are still eagerly looking forward to next season when Stoudemire returns and the Knicks can still dominate the East.

However, what they don't know is that this is already the peak of the Knicks.

Starting next season, the team will start to decline again.

The power of the curse continues to take effect...

Since then, the final teams of the Eastern and Western Divisions have been determined.

There is no rest.

Open directly.

The first thing to start is the finals of the Western Conference Lakers vs. Thunder.

This can be said to be the most watched round of the NBA series this season.

According to statistics, just after the list of matchups was released, the number of searches for words such as "nba, Lakers, Thunder, Qin Feng" on the Internet increased sharply.

Even before the series started, relevant news frequently appeared on the hot searches of major media in the United States.

You can see its influence.

Many basketball experts and media also said that this round of the series is exciting, interesting, gimmicks, etc., and I am afraid that it will surpass the finals!

The Lakers continue to have home court advantage.

Staples Center.

At this time, there are already a sea of ​​people, and there are no empty seats.

no doubt.

The ticket price of the game was once again fired to a ceiling, creating a record in NBA history.

After all, this series is too dramatic and topical.

Especially since the person concerned is Qin Feng, the strongest superstar in NBA history, this has made countless fans around the world look forward to it even more.

What kind of performance will Qin Feng play against the Thunder?

How would it feel for Qin Feng to kill his old club?

What kind of defense will Qin Feng use to beat his old club?

Can Qin Feng continue to lead his team to sweep the Thunder?

All kinds of suspense will be revealed in this round of the series.

The pre-match interview session.

On the side of the Thunder, Dewey's second young master was very calm.

Regarding Qin Feng's departure, both Durant and Westbrook expressed their understanding very much, so they would not resent Qin Feng.

And now their wish is to have a good series with Qin Feng.

Let's see where the Thunder team's limit is without Qin Feng, and whether they can make it to the finals! !

Lakers here.

Qin Feng also said that regardless of the outcome of this round of the series, it will not affect the relationship between him and Dewey. After all, as their big brother, it can be said that they have watched Durant and Westbrook grow up step by step. .

Especially Westbrook.

Qin Feng watched him enter the league from the draft, and then grow rapidly into a superstar by his side.

This friendship is very deep.

So the fans are looking forward to the psychology of both parties wanting to revenge each other, which only exists in the imagination...

The pre-match interview ended quickly.

Players from both sides walked through the long player tunnel and came to the bright field illuminated by spotlights.

The huge purple and gold color Lakers logo shows domineering.

Thunder players in blue jerseys looked extremely eye-catching in the purple-gold sea.

Both Durant and Westbrook are very familiar with this arena.

After all, in the past four years, they have played against the Lakers in the playoffs in three years.

It's just that this time, after all, things are right and people are wrong, and it has a different meaning.

Warm up session.

Durant really wanted to go to the Lakers halfcourt to greet Qin Feng. After all, the two had a deep friendship, and Qin Feng was also half of Durant's mentor.

But in order not to affect the fighting mentality of his teammates, Durant still held back and tried his best to concentrate on warming up.

He knew very well that an earth-shattering game was about to start, and his performance must not stretch his hips, otherwise he would definitely be crazily ridiculed by the media and basketball experts.

beep.

While thoughts were flying, the whistle sounded.

The warm-up session is over.

Players from both sides returned to the bench and followed the coach's final arrangement.

Thunder bench.

"Guys! It's time to prove you to the whole world, beyond the Lakers led by Qin Feng, you are the strongest basketball team in the world, bar none!"

"Let the whole world see that even without Qin Feng, you are still the strongest team."

Coach Brooks said excitedly.

The players nodded.

They are also looking forward to this day, longing for this day.

With a wave of Brooks' hand, the Thunder's first five tigers debuted.

For the Lakers, the head coach Cole is not a very good chicken soup master, he just calmly told the game strategy, and then let the players appear on the stage!

There was a roar like a tsunami.

The starting lineup of the Lakers is Gasol, Anderson, Qin Feng, Kobe, Lowry;

The starting lineup of the Thunder is Perkins, Ibaka, Durant, Redick, Westbrook;

Pau Gasol and Perkins jump the ball.

The former took the basketball out, and the Lakers took the lead in attacking.

After Lowry dribbled the ball for halftime, facing Westbrook, who used to be a substitute for him, his eyes also burst into light, full of fighting spirit.

Although Qin Feng is the protagonist of this series, Lowry is also a veteran of the Thunder!

It's time to test whether your offseason decisions are correct.

You must know that the Thunder team also offered Lowry a contract at that time, but was rejected by him. Instead, he chose to follow Qin Feng and join the Lakers.

Although high-spirited, one of Lowry's strengths is that he won't get ahead on the court and always maintains his sanity.

He didn't choose to break through Westbrook, but passed the basketball to Kobe who fell into the low post.

Without double-teaming, if Kobe singles Redick in the low post, it is tantamount to beating a primary school student, which can be said to be a complete sling.

Because Redick's defense is poor.

With just a wobbly feint, Kobe swung Redick away, then turned and easily fired a fadeaway jumper.

The basketball draws a perfect arc.

Swish.

Hollow into the network!

The Lakers opened first and scored 2 points! !
