Chapter 594: advance to the finals
【NBA: No. 1 Forward】【】
"DeMarcus, did you know from the beginning of the game to be the second offensive point?"
One of the local reporters in New York asked a very face-saving question.
"Yes, when the coach told me, I was stunned. I didn't know whether I was competent at the time, but sickle encouraged me a lot."
"He said: Hey, brother, I believe you will become the most shining star in the 10th session in the future!"
"I was very moved at the time, I really believed what Sickle said, he never lied!"
“It also gave me endless confidence…”
When Cousins was eloquent, he didn't notice Lian Dao smiling awkwardly beside him.
Because he said this to more than one player, it seems that he said similar things to Jimmy a few days ago.
But this is harmless, at least his starting point is good, isn't it?
…
The second day of the end of the Knicks and Heat Tianwangshan.
The battle of Tianwangshan between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the San Antonio Spurs has also officially started.
Home of the Spurs, the Att Center.
The Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Spurs at the Spurs' home court with the power of two consecutive victories.
The Spurs beat the Thunder 7-2 in the first four minutes of the game.
Just when everyone thought the Spurs would comeback at home in this game, the Thunder launched a counterattack.
First, Durant assisted Nick Collison and hit a two-pointer, followed by Durant's combination of sudden shots and continuous fouls by the Spurs.
After James Harden was substituted, the Thunder completely blew the horn of counterattack.
After the Thunder overtook the score, the situation in the first half was firmly in the hands of the Thunder.
At the end of the half, the Thunder entered the second half with an 8-point advantage at 52:44.
In the third quarter, under the organization of Dior, the French flavoring agent, the Spurs launched a counterattack brazenly.
First, he assisted Leonard to score at the basket, and then hit a three-pointer from 25 feet away.
After that, he grabbed an offensive rebound and passed the ball to Manu Ginobili on the outside to hit a three-pointer.
Under this wave of strong offense, the Spurs not only tied the score, but also achieved a lead.
It's a pity that the Spurs' lead did not last long, and Harden was replaced again.
The three thunderbolts immediately completed their integration.
As soon as Harden came up, he assisted Westbrook to score at the basket and made Duncan's defensive foul.
After that, he assisted Durant to hit a three-pointer from 24 feet away, and the Thunder's second wave of counterattack came again.
Under the leadership of the Thunder's three juniors, the Thunder hit a shock wave of 14:9.
And evened the score again.
After that, it was even more powerful on both ends of the offense and defense, and the Spurs were hard to parry.
Although the Spurs launched a counterattack in the fourth quarter, they were all strongly suppressed by Harden's three-pointer.
In the end, the Thunder defeated the San Antonio Spurs 108:103 and won the battle of Tianwangshan.
The reason why the Spurs lost this game is largely because of Harden.
Especially this season, Harden, who has made great progress this season, has filled the drawbacks of the Thunder's lack of firepower in the last quarter.
And it provides a strong firepower support for the team's main and substitute rotation stages.

Harden made 6 of 11 shots, including 3 of 4 three-pointers. He scored 20 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals.
Of course, the most important point is that the Spurs did not limit Kevin Durant very well.
The reason is that Leonard's defense is not mature enough.
In addition, Kevin Durant can not only break through, he also has a precise shot.
Especially Durant's precise mid-range, it really gave Popovich a headache.
Popovich is not afraid of players with impact and strong breakthrough ability, but he is afraid of players with accurate mid-range.
Back then, the Spurs were killed by Kobe's mid-range shot.
It can be said that the old guy has cast a shadow on players with accurate mid-range.
Durant made 10 of 19 shots and 2 of 6 three-pointers. He scored 27 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists.
Although Westbrook's shooting percentage in this game was not very ideal, he also scored 23 points and sent 12 assists.
The Thunder's three young players all scored 20+ points. It's no wonder the Spurs didn't lose!
The Spurs' best player wasn't Tony Parker or Tim Duncan.
It was the 34-year-old Ginobili who started the series for the first time.
He made 11 of 21 shots and 5 of 10 three-pointers. He scored 34 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists.
The Pampas Vulture has proved with his strength that he is still the all-powerful Extremis Demon Sword.
It's just a pity that two fists can't match four hands, and Ginobili still failed to save the Spurs in the end.
Lian Dao also paid attention to this game, and the strength of Thunder's three young masters also made Lian Dao vigilant.
But currently Lian Dao's focus is not on the Thunder or the Spurs.
They still have the difficult opponent of the Heat that has not been resolved. Only by solving the Heat will they have the opportunity to consider their opponents in the next round.
Lian Dao doesn't want to delay this round of the series, G6 must be selected to completely eliminate the Heat.
If the game is dragged to the tiebreaker, there will be more accidents.
…
On June 7, the Knicks' sixth game against the Heat.
They returned to the Heat's home stadium, American Airlines Arena.
The Heat returned to the home court, and they played the clarion call of counterattack, arrogant and high-spirited, and they were bound to drag the game to the tiebreaker.
It's a pity that their state has problems only in this game.
And James, who broke out for 5 consecutive games, finally stopped the fire in this game.
James' condition in this game is not very good.
After missing many shots, he could only choose the most energy-consuming offensive method, constantly hitting the basket.
And the Knicks have never been soft on his double-teaming.
Although James keeps standing on the free throw line, the overall rhythm of the Heat has not been fully played.
On the contrary, the Knicks became more and more confident, and Danny Green and Stoudemire fired one after another.
The Knicks as a whole present a situation of multi-point blooming.
At halftime, the Knicks took the lead at the American Airlines Center for the first time in this series.
64:53!
Entering the second half with an 11-point advantage, this gave the Knicks an overall momentum.
On the other hand, on the Heat's side, there is no momentum at all.

This is to go all out, then decline, and exhaust three times.
This is still the Heat's home game. If it is an away game, they will only be more depressed.
In the commentary, Mike Breen sighed. He knew that the Heat would hardly have a chance to come back.
Sure enough, after entering the third quarter, the Knicks strengthened their defense again.
The Heat hit the iron one after another, especially Bosh, against the wind. When James was double-teamed, he missed one after another.
This made the fans of the entire American Airlines Arena feel gloomy.
As for the Knicks, entering the third quarter, Lian Dao began to explode on the offensive end.
Successively causing damage to the Heat's basket and beyond the three-point line, the Knicks extended their lead further and further.
At the end of the third quarter, the Knicks led by as many as 23 points.
In the fourth quarter, James and Wade launched a counterattack again, but the hole they dug was too big.
Especially when Lian Dao keeps scoring they simply can't fill it out.
But knowing that they couldn't turn defeat into victory, Wade, Bosh and James still stuck to the court and kept rushing.
This is the Heat's home court, whether it is Wade or James, or Bosh, they dare not sit on the bench and look directly into the eyes of the fans.
Pairs of disappointed, numb eyes pierced their chests like sharp knives, and burned their souls like karmic fire.
But failure is a foregone conclusion. No matter how the Heat resist, the Knicks will suppress it on the offensive end.
In the end, the buzzer sounded to symbolize the end of the game, the LED light on the backboard frame turned red, and the game ended.
The score on the court was finally fixed at 116:98.
The Knicks finally eliminated the Miami Heat for two consecutive years with a big score of 4:2 and reached the finals.

For two consecutive years, the Heat lost the Eastern Conference finals to the same opponent.
Although James didn't feel good in this game, he still scored 29 points, 13 rebounds, 10 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks.
For the Knicks, Lian Dao contributed 33 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists, Cousins had 20 points and 12 rebounds, Stoudemire had 16 points and 8 rebounds...
The two teams had a final handshake ceremony. Lian Dao looked at James, whose eyes were flushed, and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.
Lian Dao took the initiative to hug her.
Although the Heat caused a lot of trouble for the Knicks, it was after all a matter of the game.
Outside the arena, James in this round of the series is worthy of respect.
