Chapter 1979 The Most Beautiful Thing in the Past Five Years

After a fragile defeat, the Lakers lost another in Oklahoma. The Thunder tied the score to 2-3, still retaining the hope of promotion. The sixth game between the two sides will return to Los Angeles to continue.

There is nothing to say about the whole game. The Lakers' first score of less than 100 points in the playoffs explains everything. The Lakers clearly got more rebounds in the whole game, leading 36-30 by 6 rebounds and 7-4 by 3 offensive rebounds. I also got more shots, but I just couldn’t make the shots!

"Tonight's Oklahoma City basket put a lid on the Lakers." ESPN's post-game evaluation of this game can be said to be very appropriate.

Only Ji Feng, Kobe Bryant and substitute Farmar scored in double figures for the Lakers. Ji Feng scored a team-high 27 points, 7 assists and 12 rebounds, but his shooting percentage was average. Compared to Ji Feng's average of 69.7% per game in this year's playoffs. In terms of field goal percentage, Ji Feng's 50% field goal percentage tonight can be said to be a failure. Although this number is still very impressive, after all, Ji Feng is a player who mainly plays on the outside. He always shoots more terrifying shots than inside. Rate itself is a scary thing.

But as Barkley said, who makes him Ji Feng? People have become accustomed to Ji Feng's god-like performance. Occasionally, abnormal performance will make fans feel uncomfortable.

Kobe scored 20 points, but his shooting percentage was only 40% and he did not take many shots. Safrosa's defense against Kobe was very successful. Coupled with the overall sluggishness of the Lakers, Kobe did not perform well.

The best performer was of course Farmar, who scored 17 points as a substitute. He was the Lakers' last stand tonight. He made 4 of 5 three-pointers. This was also Farmar's best performance in the playoffs. It's a pity that the whole team is in a slump, otherwise Farmar would have to steal the show.

The most disappointing thing is the burning inside line. The Twin Towers plus substitute Powell scored 9 points, 8 points and 6 points. Next door, Perkins and Ibaka scored 15 points, 12 points and 9 rebounds. It can be said that they are better than the Lakers. A few of them performed much better.

Of course, the Thunder must rely on its three players to win. Durant scored 30 points tonight, Westbrook had 26 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, Harden had 23 points, and the three players combined for 79 points.

After this game, the Thunder's three youngsters undoubtedly allowed people to see a brighter future.

"No matter what the result is, we should all see hope." The on-site commentator said after the game.

Durant's declaration in an interview after the game also allowed people to see the energy of the Thunder: "At least we are still on the stage of the Western Conference Finals. We didn't do well in the last game, but this time we did it. "

From being swept by the Lakers in the past two seasons to coming back from the edge of the cliff twice this season, everyone can see their growth. The most rare thing is that they are all in their early 20s. There should not be too much room for growth in the future. , if the Thunder can maintain such a lineup, then they really have a promising future.

Currently, only Durant can be considered a super giant in the team, but in a few seasons, others may become super giants. Apart from others, Westbrook and Harden all have such potential, and Ibaka has such potential. This guy can at least become a first-line star. Such a team still relies on the draft. It has a chance to dominate the league for several seasons.

It's just a pity that Oklahoma is just a small ball club, and the management, which has been smart for so long, cannot continue to be so smart.

But at least now, they still have hope of counterattack. In the next G6, many people are expecting the Thunder to continue to move forward, hoping that they can overturn the space battleship of the Lakers.

The atmosphere at this time also became heated, and an unexpected loss made the Lakers put away their contempt. When Zen returned to the locker room, he scolded the players severely, and then it was time for daily review.

Ji Fengrang also said after the game: "The responsibility for the loss is mine. We didn't play our own thing. We relaxed a little after leading 3-1. Now, it's time to go back and end this series!"

The Thunder naturally refused to give in. This victory also raised their hopes. Durant responded: "I hope we can return here from Los Angeles with the Western Conference Championship trophy!"

The atmosphere is hot and on the verge of breaking out. G6 of the Western Conference Finals will be a decisive battle.

However, the iron-blooded Green Army relied on the scoring of Ray Allen and Garnett to always hold on to the score. At the critical moment, Buss dunked in three consecutive rounds, making the score 40-42 at halftime, and the Green Army fell behind by 2 points.

The third quarter was the turning point. Pierce, who had been average before, suddenly took action. With 3 and a half minutes left in the third quarter, he made continuous breakthroughs and caused damage. He scored 7 points with consecutive shots and free throws, leading the Celtics to an 11-0 wave and overtaking the Heat by 9 points. , had Wade not hit a three-pointer at the buzzer, the Heat would have lost even more.

In the fourth quarter, the back-and-forth began a tug-of-war, and the action began to get louder. Brutal and vicious fouls occurred from time to time, and the scores of both sides were alternately leading. The crucial last minute and a half became the coach between Pierce and the Big Three. First, Pierce made Heisler. James fouled and made two free throws. The latter then made one of two free throws. Then Pierce made a decisive three-pointer in the face of James' defense with 52.9 seconds left!
