NBA: No. 1 Forward

Chapter 603: Confidence is a good thing, but you must first recognize your strength



In the fourth quarter, Durant was not on the court at the beginning.

The Knicks suddenly stepped up their offense and continued to expand their lead.

On the Thunder's side, Westbrook was completely misfired under Holiday's defense.

For the rest of James Harden, Tony Allen took care of him personally.

This left Harden with nothing to say in the fourth quarter, and there were many turnovers.

Three minutes before the fourth quarter, the Knicks made a wave of offense, extending their lead to 12 points.

At this time, Brooks couldn't sit still anymore, he could only bring Durant, who hadn't rested for a few minutes, to the court again.

As soon as Durant played, the Knicks immediately strengthened their defense.

Even if he can't stop Durant from scoring, it will cost him more energy every time he makes a shot.

Especially under the continuous attack of Lian Dao's trash talk, Durant lacks physical fitness and is upset.

And the sense of urgency that comes with being behind.

This made Durant start to lose his mind after many shots, and became a little hotheaded.

The sound of iron strikes resounded through Madison Square Garden.

The Knicks also took this opportunity to continue to play defensive counterattacks.

This made the Thunder not only not narrow the contrast, on the contrary, under the Knicks' defensive counterattack, the point difference continued to widen.

By the second half of the fourth quarter, Durant could no longer play a positive role on the court.

Affected by physical fitness, the Thunder are always a step behind the Knicks in fast breaks.

With 2 minutes and 34 seconds left in the game, Lian Dao assisted Danny Green and made another three-pointer from the bottom corner.

The Knicks led by 21 points, and the Thunder were completely helpless!

In fact, it was impossible for the Thunder to come back in the second half of the fourth quarter, but neither Westbrook nor Durant chose to give up.

They are still dragging their tired bodies on the field.

But even though they played very hard and were very tenacious, they still couldn't change the ending in the end.

"The defending champion is the defending champion after all, the ability to seize opportunities is really terrifying!"

Brooks shook his head helplessly, and rubbed the space between his brows vigorously with his hands.

He finally called a timeout, replaced Durant and Westbrook, who were already exhausted, and put on the bench.

The Thunder announced their surrender!

D'Antoni saw that the Thunder was so savvy, and he didn't push too much, so he also replaced the substitute lineup.

99:118!

The Knicks took a 19-point home lead over the Oklahoma City Thunder, which was making its first Finals appearance.

Achieved a 1:0 lead in the finals.

Lian Dao scored 46 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists.

In the first game of the finals, Lian Dao contributed a triple-double.

This is the first time that Lian Dao has recorded a triple-double since entering the playoffs.

When the commentator was still shocked by Lian Dao's data, the Knicks fans were not too excited.

They have seen Lian Dao's stats a lot. It can be said that Knicks fans have become accustomed to Lian Dao's excellence.

Perhaps, when Lian Dao played abnormally one time, it would really cause the Knicks fans to exclaim.

Durant felt very hot in this game and played very well, with 32 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists.

But compared with the data of Lian Dao, it seems a bit unsatisfactory.

From the statistics to the results of the game, Durant was once again slammed on the floor by Lian Dao.

This year's playoffs, for the Knicks, can be called a matchup at the third position.

Lian Dao first swept the Magic led by "Agent" Turkoglu, and then defeated the Pacers led by Danny Granger.

The battle at the peak of the Eastern Conference, the match between Lian Dao and James, the fans who watched it were full of enthusiasm.

But even the most popular Heat, still did not escape the fate of being eliminated by Lian Dao.

In this season's playoffs, it can be said that Lian Dao climbed to the top by stepping on the corpse of the top three player in the East.

And today, when Lian Dao pinned Durant on the ground and rubbed against him, everyone in the league really understood the horror of Lian Dao.

[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the source-changing app that the old version of chasing insects is using, huanyuanapp.】

Some teams even have a deep fear of Lian Dao and the Knicks!

After the game, the fans cheered happily.

They cheered not just because the Knicks won the game, nor just because of the triple-double data in the finals.

They cheered more because Lian Dao had truly climbed to the top of the third position this time!

When it comes to the strongest small forward in the league, Lian Dao only holds a slight lead, and James and Durant also occupy a place.

Now when it comes to the strongest small forward in the league and the strongest player at the third position, fans will only mention Lian Dao, not James and Durant.

At the post-match press conference.

Durant felt very helpless about the result of this game.

"I have a problem with my fitness, I don't want to deny that."

"Other than that, sickle's trash talk annoys and disgusts me the most."

"He was like a gossip, chattering in my ears, which disturbed me a lot, but he won't have such good luck in the next game!"

"You mean the next game, you will win?"

the reporter asked.

"Yes, we are confident!"

Recalling the experience of this game, the Thunder seems to have a chance to win. After all, the counterattack in the third quarter really put the Knicks in danger.

It may be that the Thunder briefly played an advantage in the third quarter, which made Durant full of confidence.

He believes that the reason why he lost was due to lack of preparation, inexperience in the physical distribution of the finals, and the influence of Lian Dao's trash talk and so on.

If it happens again, Durant is confident that the final winner will be the Thunder.

But... will it really be like this?

On the other hand, Lian Dao is also being interviewed by the media.

The reporter gave back to Lian Dao the content of Durant's interview.

"Since the existence of trash talk, it means that he is reasonable, and it means that he is part of the game. As for Kevin Durant being disturbed, I can only say that his psychological quality is not good."

"He can talk trash to me too."

"As for his confidence to win the next game..., I can only say: Confidence is a good thing, but you must first learn to recognize your strength!"

Lian Dao didn't get used to Durant either, and his counterattack was particularly sharp.

"Sickle, have you improved again? Why does your physical fitness look better than when you played against the Heat?"

The reporter wondered why Lian Dao's physical fitness suddenly improved so much.

In this game, Lian Dao played 46 minutes, only two minutes away from playing the whole game.

However, until Lian Dao was replaced, his mental state was very good, and he did not show any signs of fatigue.

"Hmm... I don't know why my physical fitness is so good. It may be because I want to end the game quickly, go to the party, and enjoy 'ease'."

Lian Dao's answer made the reporters in the audience roar with laughter.

Lian Dao not only answered the reporters' questions in a humorous way, but also responded to the smearing media reports on him in the past few days.

Not training every day is preparing for battle, and proper rest is also preparing for battle.

Durant spends every day in the training hall, but everyone has seen his fate.

It was because Lian Dao had a good rest in the previous few days that he fought to the end in this game.

He is very fortunate to have listened to the opinions of the team doctor before, and he is also very grateful to D'Antoni for protecting him.

Otherwise, Lian Dao would not be able to persist until the end.

In the fourth quarter, it was impossible to enter the super **** state, scoring 14 points, and winning in one fell swoop.

On the second day after the competition, all the negative news about Lian Dao disappeared.

All the media praised the Knicks for their rich experience, Lian Dao's well-prepared performance, and some reporters even praised Lian Dao's "humor".

Lian Dao was speechless after seeing it.

Calling irony humorous, this lick is too...professional!

I have to say, looking at the kneeling and licking media, Lian Dao feels refreshed like drinking a can of iced Coke in the dog days!

The reality is like this, as long as you win, whatever you say makes sense.

Even the media will edit the winning 'testimonials' before you.

If the Knicks are the losers in this game, Lian Dao can imagine what kind of storms await him.

On the other side, Durant and the Thunder are also studying ways to defeat the Knicks.

Originally thought that the first game of the finals would be their battle of revenge.

Unexpectedly, they lost so thoroughly in their first match in the finals.

It can be said that the Knicks gave everyone in the Thunder a thunderous blow.

However, this is the first time they have played against each other, and the confidence of Thunder Thunder's third young master has not been destroyed.

They are still full of confidence in the next game.

In particular, they have their own goals. They won one of the two away games. Now the goal has not completely failed, and the second game has not yet started.

Although they lost the first game, they still had a chance in the second game.
