Chapter 1966 Unparalleled Victory
After the game time hand turned for a full 52 minutes, it finally pointed to zero. The referee Crawford on duty finally blew the whistle to end the game.
"Beep beep beep~!" The voice seemed lighter than before, with a hint of relief, which seemed to represent the referee's mood.
"Wow!!!" Farmar and others all rushed onto the court and hugged Ji Feng. Ji Feng, who dominated the overtime period, was knocked down on the Lakers logo. Before it was over, Gasol even rubbed him. Chest celebration.
Oh ho, it’s finally over~!
Ji Feng's long-lost feeling of powerlessness really burned out tonight. These young people from Thunderbolt really didn't blow it up.
Well, Ji Feng may have forgotten that he is the youngest one.
"Awesome!" The widowed sister on the sidelines clapped her hands and shouted to Ji Feng. Her voice was hoarse, but it was still good. There was already a child next door who was completely speechless.
The celebration began. The Lakers bench had already rushed up. Ji Feng also got up, his body limp, celebrating with his teammates and coaches.
The Zen master patted Ji Feng's shoulder hard and said loudly: "GOOD JOB!" He didn't say much else, but everything was said without saying anything.
The most excited person is naturally Kobe. He was originally unhappy tonight, but he made a comeback at the last moment. This season, some people have been saying that he is too old and will not survive. There are some glitches, but after tonight, these voices will undoubtedly be suppressed.
Look at his ability at the last critical moment, even if he is older, he is still someone you look up to!
The Thunder players left the court quickly, without shaking hands or greetings. You must know that they were still friendly after the first game, but this is understandable. This is the closest they have come to defeating the Lakers in three seasons, and it can even be quantified to the end. 20 seconds.
Only 20 seconds are the difference between victory and defeat.
One can imagine how depressed they felt.
However, there is no doubt that this was a great game. Although the final score was fixed at 115-125, the 10-point difference did not seem to be as exciting as those games in the past that were single digits or even resulted in a buzzer-beater. , but everyone who has watched the game knows that when it comes to tension and excitement, this game is enough to have its own name.
"How should I put it? First of all, I have to congratulate the Lakers. Although there were twists and turns, the final result was good. They defeated the Thunder by 10 points at home and successfully took a 2-0 lead. The third game will be three days later. , moved to Oklahoma." On the sidelines, Yu Jia did not rush out directly to interview Ji Feng and others as usual, but stretched a lot and breathed heavily. This game. It was really too exciting, causing him to be in a tense state until the end. How should I put it, now he felt as if he had just gotten off a roller coaster, and his whole body was top-heavy.
The same goes for Director Zhang next door, otherwise he would have gone out for interviews long ago. Of course, Director Zhang did not forget about serious matters. After the game was over, the players' data was also displayed intuitively.
The most heroic player tonight was still Ji Feng, who played 47 and a half minutes, made 20 of 26 shots, 11 of 11 free throws, and 5 of 7 three-point shots. He scored a terrifying 56 points, 16 assists, 12 rebounds, 6 steals, and 4 blocks. A super large triple pair!
At the same time, there were only 3 turnovers and 4 fouls. The plus-minus value of +17 ranked first in the game. This was the ninth time in the playoffs that he had back-to-back triple-doubles and the fourth time that he had a 50+ triple-double. These two statistics They are all undoubtedly firsts in history!
There is no way to describe Ji Feng's performance tonight. From beginning to end, Ji Feng was the most stable one. It was his performance at the critical moment that prevented the Thunder from opening up the score.
After the game, the losing Thunder head coach Brooks said helplessly: "We have played everything, but Ji Feng is too strong. We tried various defenses, but he can still put the ball into the basket."
This is Ji Feng today. He seems to be on another level. He seems to be getting such data every day.
The one who attracted the most attention was undoubtedly Kobe. In this game, he was like a combination of an angel and a devil. He scored 32 points, 6 assists, 7 rebounds and 4 steals. He was the best helper around Ji Feng. However, At the critical moment of the fourth quarter, he was troubled by fouls. In the end, he missed consecutive shots and almost lost his game for a long time. However, he scored 5 points in a row at the last moment to help the Lakers into overtime and made him the team's hero.
In this game, the JK combination scored a terrifying 88 points, which was also a career high for the two of them. They will become the strongest duo in history.
Coupled with Gasol's low-key and silent 16 points and 8 rebounds, the three of JKJ scored 104 points together. This was also the peak moment of the cooperation between the three.
"After all, except JKJ, I can't think of anyone who can take away victory from the Thunder who played like this." O'Neal said after the game.
The Thunder were the dominant side in this game. All three players played bravely. The core Durant scored 44 points, made 4 of 5 three-pointers, and scored 5 rebounds and 4 assists. The second leader Westbrook scored 29 points and 13 assists. A triple-double with 11 rebounds. On the bench, Harden scored 25 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals.
The statistics of these three people alone are enough to be the core players of a team. The three of them scored a terrifying 98 points, only a mid-range gap from 100.
However, they were still suppressed by the Big Three of the Lakers. This was also the reason why they lost this game. Of course, it was also related to their collapse in overtime.
There are many such performances in NBA history, but it is the first time in NBA history that 6 people perform such performances at the same time in one game, which also proves that this game is unique.
"This is a top-level contest between top stars!" ESPN said after the game.
Ji Feng also said: "Winning this game will be a huge improvement for us as a whole. The Thunder are a strong team. Their strength is undoubtedly stronger than last year. They can cause us enough trouble. "
Winning this game was thrilling, and it also had a bit of luck. After the game, Ji Feng felt a little relieved. According to the state of the Thunder, if they win this game and return to their home court, it will be too detrimental to the Lakers. .
Fortunately, they held on.
After the game and the interview, Ji Feng went home and had a good sleep. Early the next morning, the Lakers rushed to Oklahoma City as a whole. This was also a change brought by the Thunder's strength to the Lakers. They paid more attention to it. game, after all, they have to play three games in a row here.
And that night, Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals also started again.
As if influenced by the Western Conference Finals, the process of this game was also full of twists and turns.
The Heat gained a certain advantage at the beginning under the leadership of James. The Big Three of the Green Army were as sluggish as ever, especially Pierce. He still did not find his form and only scored 1 point in the first quarter.
Just when people thought that this game would lose suspense as early as the first game, Rondo stood up!
