One Guard

First in the West, 6o wins and 12 losses. Durant averaged 28.1 points per game and Westbrook averaged 23.8 points per game. On average, Ibaka, who is able to send out 3 best blocks per game, and Kevin Martin, who averaged 42.6% of three-pointers per game...

The Thunder's outstanding swing during the regular season made them the hottest championship candidate early. In the West, no one seems to be their opponent. The biggest enemy of this group of guys is not in the west, but the trio on the east coast that changed the rules of NBA games.

But now? Just three hours before the start of the Western Conference semifinals between the Mavericks and the Thunder, no one still believed that the Thunder could reach the end. Entering the Western Conference semifinals seems to be the ceiling of the Thunder this season.

It is not without reason that a championship-level team suddenly fell to this point.

First of all, the performance of the Thunder's role players in the playoffs is far less dazzling than in the regular season. Whether it's Kevin Martin or Ibaka, whether it's Sefolosa or Fischer, these guys encountered fierce playoff-level confrontation, and there was no way to show their full strength.

Secondly, Westbrook's injury will undoubtedly cast a shadow over the Thunder's future. In the first round of the playoffs, the Thunder played against the Lakers who lost Kobe. When everyone was sorry for not being able to see Kobe in the playoffs, Oklahoma fans, who had nothing to do with them, immediately realized the star. The painful experience of having to be reimbursed for the season due to injury.

And because of Westbrook's season reimbursement, the Thunder, which could have easily passed the level, finally took 6 games to take away the victory from the Lakers without Kobe.

No one thinks that a complete and healthy Oklahoma City Thunder will play six games with the Lakers. Even the Lakers legend "Magic" Johnson admitted before the start of the playoffs that this is likely to be the fourth time the Lakers have been swept away during the Kobe era. The defeat.

However, what everyone did not expect was that the Thunder, the favorite to win the championship, had beaten the blood before finally winning this chance to advance. The Thunder's performance in the playoffs is worrying, and these are also important reasons why the outside world is not optimistic that the Thunder can defeat the Mavericks.

"A team that has just lost a point guard at home is now going to face a traditional powerhouse led by mvp. After you listen to this sentence, you will definitely have a judgment on the result of the game in your heart. Although the Thunder occupy the home court. Advantage, but I have to admit that in the face of the huge power gap, the impact of home and away games on the game is minimal."

On the commentary stage, most commentators are more optimistic that the Mavericks can win the game. Yiyang has just won the mvp and is in good condition. The momentum brought about by this event will definitely be spread to teammates.

This may be the first time the Mavericks have become the favored side in the playoffs since Yiyang joined. In the past, people clamored that the Mavericks' road to the playoffs would end here. But this year, people began to talk about the possibility of the Mavericks being promoted.

The Mavericks players are happy to see themselves recognized by the outside world, but one person never agrees with the reporters.

Two hours before the start of the game, the reporters who came to the court to prepare in advance showed that Durant, who was tall and arm long, had already started warming up alone on the court.

This guy was wearing a training suit and put on his hood deliberately. It seemed that he didn't want anyone to affect his training, nor did he want people to see the expression on his face.

As long as Durant makes a shot, the Nets roll over will inevitably sound. This guy's state is amazing, and it's no wonder that at a young age, he is already the winner of the title of scoring champion in the three circles. Without a nod, how could it be possible to achieve such an achievement?

As Durant's shots continued to hit, there were more and more people in the stands. At the same time, there are naturally Dallas Mavericks players from afar.

The espn on-site cameraman divided the Mavericks and Thunder pre-match warm-up screens into two screens, which appeared on the TV and computer at the same time.

The Mavericks players talked and laughed as they warmed up, and the Thunder seemed to have been very heavy after losing Westbrook.

On the one hand, it seems to be a certainty, the Mavericks are likely to take away the score of 2 o on the road. However, the reporters did not notice that the big man in the hood can now clenched his fists.

"Without Westbrook, the likelihood that the Thunder want to pass is almost zero. Durant is indeed a superstar who can change the course of the game, but the Mavericks also have no shortage of stars." Charles Barkley seems to have foreseen the West. The lineup for the finals is up. If they play well, maybe the Mavericks will be able to re-enter the finals after a lapse of one year and face off against the Big Three?

Almost everyone is discussing the Dallas Mavericks and the new mvp of Yiyang. However, for the first offense after the game began, Durant gave everyone a good start.

In the face of Marion's slack defense, Durant made a jump shot. The Thunder's No. 35 shot was as easy as training. The basketball entered through the net, and the fans in the Chesapeake Energy Arena took their seats with cheers.

"It seems that Kevin Durant disagrees with the statement that the Thunder are destined to be eliminated. As soon as the game opened, he responded strongly! The Mavericks defense should be tighter, even if the Thunder lack Westbrook. , Their attack power still cannot tolerate Xiao Xu."

It's a pity that Mike Brin's reminder did not reach Marion's ears. In the next attack, Durant made a jumper from the same position, and Marion still failed to interfere in time. Durant scored two goals in a row, and the Mavericks fell four points behind at the start!

"Sean! What's the matter with you!?" Marion's slack defense for two consecutive rounds made Carlisle with a gentle personality scream.

Marion folded his hands and made an apology gesture to Carlisle and his teammates. The zero hacker smiled embarrassedly, but just fifteen seconds later, he was forced to make a possession error by Durant.

This is a classic pick-and-roll cooperation between Yiyang and Nowitzki. After the pick-and-roll, the Thunder's defensive focus has been constrained by Yiyang and Dirk. Marion ran beyond the three-point line at the bottom right corner and was temporarily emptied by Durant.

Yiyang, who has a broad field of vision, would naturally not turn a blind eye to this opportunity. Yiyang, who was staring at the basket, pressed his wrist and threw the basketball into Marion's arms.

As soon as Marion received the basketball, Durant raised his long arm and forced it up. The experienced Marion made a false shot and made a shot, but in fact he broke through with the ball, ready to go straight to the rim!

Although Durant had no time to turn around and block, he stretched out his long arms behind Marion, stupefied to break the basketball in Marion's hands!

"A steal from behind, Kevin's judgment is simply too accurate!"

Under the exclamation of the narrators, Durant quickly advanced in three steps and two steps. He takes one step, which is equivalent to two or three steps taken by others.

It feels like Durant has not crossed a few times before he has already entered the empty three-second zone. This slender guy, once he ran wildly on the court, he couldn't stop him at all.

Durant lifted the basketball aloft and leaped softly, pushing the ball into the frame freely. After the goal, Durant pointed his finger to the sky to celebrate the scoring. 6-o, the Oklahoma City Thunder scored consecutive goals, and the Mavericks have not yet successfully scored.

"I don't know why, but today the Mavericks seem to have suddenly relaxed. When playing the series against the Grizzlies, everyone on the Mavericks was fully focused and focused. But today, everyone except also seems to be lazy. Lazy. Shouldn't they think that if they play casually, they can win the Thunder, which won 6o in the regular season, right?"

Although Mike Brin’s analysis is a bit exaggerated, it really hit the nail on the head. The Mavericks, who had always survived under high pressure and low expectations, suddenly became the winners respected by everyone. This drifting feeling made the Mavericks relax their tight nerves unknowingly.

Yiyang is still conscientiously organizing the offense. He may be the most calm and sober player in the entire team.

Reggie Jackson's defense seemed a bit too impatient for Yiyang. He only used two quick changes in advance to easily pass by Reggie.

Looking at the inside line of the strong man Rulin, Yiyang did not ask himself to go deeper, but directly stopped the jumper. Compared with Durant, Yiyang's jumper is not so dependent on high shot points, but it is also difficult to block.

Seeing Yiyang score a goal, people thought that the Mavericks had finally recovered. But Durant used his fourth personal score today to declare his dominance of the game!

"Kevin Durant is fully fired tonight, and Marion has nothing to do with him. Maybe, coach Carlisle can try to replace Jack Crowder. At least that rookie forward, in terms of athletic ability, will not be dumb. Rand shook it too far."

Mike Brin is worthy of being a veteran commentator. His understanding of professional games is no worse than those of professional coaches~www.readwn.com~ In the last four minutes of the first quarter, Jay Crowder went into battle under Carlisle's orders.

However, the cruel fact is that the situation in the game hasn't improved a bit, Durant is still fascinating, and everyone on the Mavericks seems to have been unable to get excited.

Their supplementary defense procrastinates, their marking is always missing, and even the dribble can make mistakes. The commentators shook their heads. Every time they had great expectations for the Mavericks, the Mavericks always disappointed everyone!

"I think this is the norm for the Dallas Mavericks. God, they are starting to let Perkins, a pure blue-collar, score. Look at the expression of Coach Carlisle. I want to go back to the locker room, the Mavericks players. I must be scolded."

Durant's explosive performance made the Thunder score soaring all the way. The Dallas Mavericks, except for Yiyang, all sleepwalking, which made them fall behind by as much as 17 points before the end of the half game!

After 24 minutes of fighting, everyone was surprised. It's a pity that this time, people are surprised not by how well the Mavericks played, but because of how bad they played.

At the end of the half-time game, the lights came on, and the Chesapeake Energy Arena fans all boiled over. With 17 points in the half, for the current Mavericks, this is almost an insurmountable gap!

After Durant left the field, he slapped his teammates one by one. What if Westbrook didn't? Single-core team leadership is also okay, as is the scoring champion!

Looking at the halftime score on the big screen, Yiyang turned straight and walked towards the player channel.

Overcoming opponents has never been touted by the media. The Chinese defender, who just won the mvp trophy, feels a little confused.
