Chapter 349 Are all young people
Ye Feng's mid-range shot was a game-winning shot without leaving any room for it. When the ball fell into the basket, the huge Staples Center fell silent for an instant, and the Lakers fans present couldn't believe their eyes.Originally they thought it was a stupid move by the Blazers, and the home team could beat their opponents in overtime to advance to the Western Conference Finals, but this goal completely shattered all their fantasies.
Looking at the Blazers players hugging each other and celebrating wildly, Kobe pursed his lips tightly, didn't say a word, just stood silently on the sidelines.He couldn't do better in this campaign, scoring 37 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists, including 22 points in the fourth quarter, but still unable to prevent the Blazers from eliminating the Lakers and reaching the Western Conference Finals .For the first time, this resolute and stubborn black mamba had the idea of forcing the palace management.
But what Kobe didn't expect was that after hugging his teammates one by one, Ye Feng didn't participate in the carnival, but came over and hugged him.Looking at this junior who is no longer as youthful as he used to be, Kobe felt a little emotional. This kid's growth rate is amazing. This year is only the third season of his career. The Lakers have already lost twice to him. What's even more frightening is that he is already at sunset, and it is not yet known whether he can lead the Lakers to another championship.
However, the two did not have a deep talk, and there was nothing to say in this situation. After hugging and blessing each other, it was over.Originally, Ben Bryant wanted to continue the topic of the year and let Ye Feng switch to the Zijin Army, but now it seems that the difficulty of digging for No. 3 Blazers is no longer comparable to that of the past.
What's interesting is that another set of Western Conference semifinals also played seven games, and the thrills were not lost to the Trail Blazers VS Lakers.When the Lakers acquired Gasol through a robbery trade, everyone thought that the Grizzlies were taken advantage of once, but unexpectedly, as part of the deal, Gasol's younger brother Marc Gasol emerged in Memphis. The "black and white bears" made the Grizzlies a strong team in the West. Now it is hard to say who made and who lost.
Ye Feng is even more familiar with another team that reached the Western Conference semifinals, that is the Thunder where his good brother Westbrook is.After several years of drafting, the Thunder finally relied on draft picks to create their own young guards.Durant, Westbrook, Ibaka and Harden all came from the team's draft. People have to admire the accuracy of the Thunder management when selecting high-ranking rookies. In one fell swoop, the fish belly became the tiger and wolf division with 08 victories.
However, in the first game, the Grizzlies, who finished the black eight in the first round, gave the Thunder, who had a higher pick, a blow.The combination of Gasol and Randolph scored 54 points and 23 rebounds, completely blowing up the Thunder's inside. Oden's friend and college teammate Conley also scored 15 points and 7 assists as the Grizzlies master , A total of five Grizzlies scored in double figures.Although Durant scored 33 points and 11 rebounds, Westbrook also contributed 29 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, but Ibaka scored in double figures except for them. 101 lost a home game.
Fortunately, the Thunder evened the score in the second game.Although Durant and Westbrook did not have as much firepower as in the previous game, they also contributed 50 points together. The key to the Thunder's victory lies in their bench. Harden, who has grown into the team's best sixth man, finally Getting rid of the shadow of the previous game, he scored 21 points personally, and Mayno, who was also in the second grade, also contributed 15 points.The Grizzlies team's highest scorer was actually Conley, who scored 24 points and 8 assists. The two bears who were in good shape before did not play a dominant role. They only scored 28 points and 19 rebounds. The Grizzlies also scored 102 points. Lost than 111.
After returning to Memphis, with the support of the home fans, the Grizzlies took the lead again. Mayo, who was on the bench, contributed 42 points and 18 rebounds in 6 minutes. Four of the starters also scored in double figures.The Thunder still only rely on their four core players-Durant, Westbrook, Ibaka and Harden, and they are the only ones in the whole team to score in double figures. 19% of the three-point shooting rate is 93 to 101 for the Thunder. The biggest reason for losing.
In the fourth game, the two sides unexpectedly fought against each other. Westbrook scored a game-high 40 points, and also sent 5 rebounds and 5 assists. Thunder boss Durant also scored 35 points and 13. Rebounds, Harden and Cook on the bench contributed 29 points together.The personal data of the Grizzlies players is not too bad. Randolph and Gasol both got large double-doubles. The former had 34 points and 16 rebounds, while the latter had 26 points and 21 rebounds. The two substitutes Mayo and Vasquez scored 16 points, but in the end the Grizzlies lost to their opponents 5 to 32, and the big score became 123 to 133.
In the critical battle of Tianwangshan, the Grizzlies suddenly collapsed, and the whole team felt cold. Only Gasol scored 15 points, and none of the rest scored in double figures. The shooting percentage was 35.9%, and the three-point shooting percentage was only 25%.Although the Thunder players didn't feel good at mid-range, their three-point shooting was quite good. They made 20 of 9 outside shots. Westbrook and Durant scored 11 points and 19 points respectively. With 18 points, Muhammad, who rarely played the game, seized the opportunity to get 10 points and 6 rebounds. The Thunder won this crucial game 99-72.
But the Grizzlies were not reconciled. In the sixth game, Hollins decisively put Mayo in the starting lineup. He lived up to expectations and scored 16 points. Conley contributed 11 points and 12 assists to completely revitalize the team. All four starters other than me scored in double figures.And they also adopted a strategy of forcing Westbrook to play singles. Although Westbrook scored 27 points, everyone else was restricted. Only Durant and Harden scored in double figures and were dragged into the game 83-95. It's the tiebreaker.
In the most critical decisive game, Durant finally stood up and scored a game-high 39 points and contributed 9 rebounds. Westbrook and Harden also contributed 31 points together.Although the Grizzlies once again scored in double figures with four of them, none of them had a particularly outstanding point, and their shooting percentage did not exceed 40%. They even lost to their opponents in rebounding.In the end, the Thunder won 105 to 90, won the entire series with difficulty, and became the opponent of the Blazers in the Western Conference Finals.
