NBA: No. 1 Forward - Chapter 608
When Durant made the last shot, his mind was full of Lian Dao easily passing him.
His head was full of depressing thoughts that Lian Dao couldn’t overcome.
He even thought of last season’s regular season, the scene where the Thunder’s third young master was taught a painful lesson by Lian Dao.
However, he didn’t think about how he should score this goal, how he should comeback, how to win.
As a result, Durant’s three-point shot was interfered by Lian Dao who was supplementing the defense, and finally hit the inside of the basket and bounced out of the frame.
At this moment, Brooks slumped on the bench, clutching his forehead in disappointment.
He knows that this game is very difficult to have any hope.
Brooks could see that Lian Dao had completely destroyed Durant psychologically again today.
The last time they were destroyed was in the playoffs last season.
Lian Dao was like a **** coming down to earth, scoring 74 points from the Thunder unstoppably, and the Knicks beat the Thunder by 51 points in that game.
In that game, Durant was devastated by Lian Dao’s attack.
Although Lian Dao’s performance in this game was not so against the sky, Lian Dao’s strength on both ends of the offense and defense once again made Durant feel unstoppable.
“Kevin didn’t hit this key goal. At the last moment, Kevin seemed to have a mentality problem!”
“The Knicks counterattacked, Sickle passed Harden and Westbrook consecutively with the ball, went to the basket, pulled the bar for a layup to avoid Nick Collison’s block, and scored easily!”
“This series of breakthroughs with the ball is so beautiful that Nick Collison didn’t even react at the end.”
“The Thunder are 20 points behind, and their chances are slim!”
Seeing Lian Dao and his teammates clapping hands in celebration, Durant felt a strong sense of frustration.
The more frustrated he felt, the more flustered Durant felt, and the more unstable his reaction to offense.
On the Thunder’s next attack, Durant missed his second consecutive three-pointer.
However, the ball hit the outside edge of the rim, a long backboard, and the direction of the ejection was aimed at James Harden.
Harden received the rebound first and then reacted quickly.
He stepped back to the three-point line to shoot.
“Shua!”
James Harden’s 3-pointer helped the Thunder get back to 17 points.
However, before the Thunder had a moment to breathe, Lian Dao assisted Stoudemire with a high post and scored a dunk under the basket.
Sixteen seconds later, the game officially entered garbage time after Durant missed his third consecutive three-point shot.
Durant and Westbrook were replaced one after another, which also means that the Thunder finally chose to admit defeat.
Durant was a little out of his wits.
His final score was fixed at 27 points, but he made 8 of 20 shots from the field, which can’t be called excellent.
And Lian Dao, with 34 points, 8 rebounds and 13 assists, waved his hands towards the fans and walked to the bench.
TNT gave Lian Dao and Durant a split-screen shot.
The diametrically opposed emotions of the two are all reflected on the big screen.
“Kevin’s confidence at the last moment was completely destroyed by sickle, otherwise he wouldn’t have missed three consecutive outside shots!”
“Although the chances of changing the ending in the end are very slim, if Kevin really seizes the opportunity, they may give it a go!”
Kenny Smith was a little disappointed with Durant’s final performance.
“The Thunder won’t stand a chance, Kenny!”
“Even if Kevin hit those three three-pointers, they still had no chance!”
“sickle will come back offensively.”
“Haven’t you figured it out, Kenny?”
“Sickle and the Knicks didn’t want to give the Thunder any chance from the beginning of the game. All their defenses were targeted.”
Barkley shook his head and analyzed seriously.
To be honest, when this guy is serious, he is still very professional.
“Then do you think the Thunder will have no chance when they return to the home court?”
“I have no idea!”
Buckley shook his head.
“But if the Thunder still can’t make changes, even if they return to the home court, they won’t have much hope of winning the comeback.”
“At the very least, they have to restrain Sickle. If they can’t restrain Sickle, the only way out for the Thunder is to compete with the Knicks!”
“Fighting against the Knicks, the Thunder’s odds of winning may be…”
At this point, Barkley spread his hands towards Kenny Smith, meaning “you know”.
Kenny didn’t argue with Barkley this time, he knew that Barkley was talking about the most realistic situation facing the Thunder.
In terms of defense, the Knicks dare not say that they are number one in the league.
But if you want to talk about offense, if the Knicks rank second, no other team dares to rank first.
D’Antoni may not know much about defense, but when it comes to offense, he is definitely a master.
Thousands of miles away in Oklahoma, countless Thunder fans turned off the live TV angrily.
They couldn’t imagine that the Thunder, which reached the finals for the first time, would be beaten so badly by the Knicks.
Just poor Durant, he has no way to turn off the TV like the fans.
He also had to endure years of torment on the bench at Madison Gardens.
When the electronic buzzer sounded on the court, which symbolized the end of the game, the final score was fixed at 118:104.
James Harden scored successively in the last garbage time, and finally did not make the point difference so ugly.
When the whistle sounded for the end of the game, Durant got up and wanted to leave the court quickly.
He didn’t want to stay in this sad place any longer.
He wants to leave Madison now, leave New York, and go back to Oklahoma.
But as soon as he got up, Lian Dao enthusiastically stepped forward to greet Durant and held Durant’s right hand.
“Your performance is really good, but we are stronger.”
Although Lian Dao smiled, his words were not too gentle.
Lian Dao seldom talks trash after the game, especially after defeating the opponent, because it feels very ungentlemanly.
But this is a series, especially the Finals.
The opponent has not yet fallen, and the war is still going on. Lian Dao will use all reasonable means to attack the opponent’s self-confidence.
Including trash talk.
If it is reversed, the Thunder and Durant will also take every opportunity to hit the Knicks’ self-confidence.
In front of so many reporters, Durant couldn’t just shake his face and walk away.
Faced with Lian Dao who took the initiative to shake hands, although Durant was very reluctant, he still bit the bullet and hugged Lian Dao.
“Oh, it’s unbelievable, Kevin and Sickle have a friendly hug. Could it be that they have settled their grievances?”
O’Neill didn’t know the conversation between the two when they hugged, otherwise he would never call him “friendly”.
When Durant and Lian Dao embraced, Lian Dao put his mouth close to Durant’s ear and said something softly.
After the hug, Durant left with a gloomy face and drooping head.
Lian Dao still stayed where he was, accepting interviews from reporters.
As soon as Durant walked into the player tunnel, he angrily punched the wall next to him.
“See, you will never beat the Knicks, believe me Kevin, this is just the beginning!”
What Lian Dao said in Durant’s ear just now probably made him sleepless for the past two days.
…
With a 14-point lead, the Knicks double-killed the Thunder and took a 2:0 lead.
This undoubtedly made many Knicks fans extremely excited.
In particular, Kevin Durant has expressed in press conferences many times before that he is confident of winning G2.
It was as if this match was his revenge against Lian Dao, and it was destined to end with Thunder’s victory.
But in the end, Kevin Durant’s rhetoric of “swearing to win G2” before the game became a joke after all.
The Thunder, the strongest youth guard in the West, faced the defending champions, and finally felt a big blow.
All fans also found out at this time.
It turns out that Durant, who averaged close to 30 points per game in the playoffs, was beaten so helplessly on the offensive end~www.mtlnovel.com~ The Thunder lost two games in a row to the Knicks, This also proves the real strength gap between the two teams.
With the Knicks taking a 2:0 lead, the Knicks’ calls for defending the title are already at the highest level in the league.
Among the world’s gaming companies, the Knicks’ odds of failure have also reached their maximum.
The two-game losing streak in the away game was enough to make Durant depressed, but what made him even more angry was the media reports the next day.
On the second day, apart from the Knicks’ 2:0 lead, the media reported that Lian Dao and Durant’s hug after the game was the most popular.
“Kevin hugged Sickle after the game, and the grudge between the two was resolved!”
“When you meet your opponent at chess, cherish each other!”
“The first friendly hug from the best small forward in the East and West!”
