Chapter 267 Two Heavens of Ice and Fire (5/5)
杜兰特在末节再砍13分,直接帮助雷霆队以106比101险胜马刺队,硬生生把比赛扳成了2比3!
Durant scored 53 points in a single game, setting a record for scoring in a single game in the playoffs, higher than James' 51 points!
And he made 31 of 22 shots from the field, which is a frighteningly high shooting percentage!
In fact, don't say that the fans went crazy on the hotline, Tang Tian didn't expect that either.
In Durant's previous life, he remembered that he never scored more than 50 points in a playoff game throughout his career, but he didn't expect to score this year.
To score so many points without developing other technologies, I can really only say that he felt unusually hot tonight.
But that's not too surprising.
Now Durant's shooting accuracy could have been superb.
If I have to say it, it can only be that before the game, everyone felt that the Thunder team was in danger, and this flag was too big.
Winning the fourth game greatly increased the chances of the Spurs advancing, but losing the fifth game made the situation seem to fall to the Thunder again.
The 7-game series seems to be a lot, but the outcome of each game will actually bring different trends.
According to the schedule, the next game in the series will be played at the home court of the Thunder.
As long as the Thunder can hold this home, the series will enter the tiebreaker.
As Kenny Smith said in the commentary, when the game really enters the tiebreaker, the young Thunder will obviously have an advantage.
It seems that the Spurs are still leading by a half, but in fact, in comparison, the treatment they face is not much different from that of the Thunder.
At the end of the day's training session, Popovich dragged Tang Tian into his coach's office alone.
He closed the door, took out a bottle of red wine from the cabinet, and said with a smile, "The 80-year-old Yigan Manor red wine, as I said last time, I owe you."
The scene was just reversed from the last time.
This time, Popovich took the initiative to invite Tang Tian to drink red wine.
Tang Tian could think of what Popovich was trying to do with his ass.
This little look is exactly the same as that of Calhoun.
"Father, to be honest, our tactics are fine."
Before drinking, Tang Tian said frankly.
Popovich smiled and motioned Tang Tian to drink.
In fact, he also knew very well that there was no problem with the tactics, and he was looking for Tang Tianlai to try his luck, but most of the time he was just looking for someone to drink.
Before Tang Tian came, Ginobili and the others would often be his guests.
It's just that their understanding of wine is much worse than Tang Tian's.
Tang Tian picked up the wine glass and shook it, took a sip after smelling it.
Sure enough, it is much sweeter than the previous 90 years.
A mouthful of aftertaste.
This is red wine. The older it is, the more valuable it is, and the better it tastes.
Popovich didn't directly take a breath this time, but also a little taste.
It can be felt that this is probably also his collection wine.
"Grandpa, if the only thing I can do is to increase my defensive strength against Durant and prevent him from misplaced and playing other people."
Tang Tian said after putting down his wine glass.
"This kind of thing is hard to force."
Popovich looked at him and said.
Around the pick-and-roll, Tang Tian can do a perfect job defending off-ball players like Thompson, but Durant has the ability to attack independently.
Facing a player like Durant, it is impossible to really prevent him from being misplaced.
"This, I have a solution."
"You have a solution?" Popovich looked at him with piercing eyes at this time.
"Grandpa, you don't play games, but the most popular RTS game is called Warcraft." Tang Tian said.
In 12 years, although the peak of Warcraft has passed, it is still very popular in the world.
Popovich shook his head, you tell him that the wine is okay, but the game is just difficult for him.
"There is a breed called mountain giants, and they have a skill called taunt." Tang Tian continued.
After hearing this, Popovich gave Tang Tian a blank look.
This young man talks like an old man, he has to beat around the bush for a simple matter.
Xiu's scalp is numb.
"Are you sure you can do it?"
Popovich still did not forget to ask one more question.
In Tang Tian's words, in his impression, he is still a calm player.
"If it doesn't work, I'll beat him up."
Tang Tian said jokingly.
Popovich froze for a moment, then couldn't help laughing.
He almost forgot the last time Tang Tian beat Martin.
This rookie, the ice and the fire, really make people a little confused.
But if Popovich knew the constellations, he probably would understand, Tang Tian is a Gemini!
After two days of rest in San Antonio, the Spurs flew to Oklahoma City on game day.
Game [-] of the Western Conference Finals will start here.
At this time, the playoffs have also reached the most intense stage.
The Thunder trailed the Spurs 2-3.
In the East, the Heat, who are aiming to win the championship, also trailed the Celtics 2-3.
The next game will be an absolute battle of life and death for the Thunder and the Heat.
The Oklahoma City media also frantically built up momentum before the game, and the atmosphere on the scene was the strongest since the entire series.
Regardless of the outcome of this game, this will be the Thunder's last home game in the Western Conference Finals.
They also give their all.
Popovich also frowned watching the atmosphere at the scene.
Tonight's game is destined not to be an easy game.
In the opening ceremony before the game, the Pisacek Energy Arena seemed to be on fire, and the noisy decibels made people's eardrums hurt.
Both sides have the same starting lineups as they did last game.
Harden is still on the bench for the Thunder, a combination of Gasoflosa and Perkins.
The Spurs are also a combination of three wings plus Parker and Duncan.
Ibaka beat Duncan for the sixth time in the series and gave the home team the chance to take the lead.
Westbrook went to the outside of the front court to hold the ball, and Durant directly started to call for pick-and-rolls to find misplaced opportunities.
There will be summaries by coaches and players after each game.
Durant's dislocation advantage in the last game was so great that it would be inappropriate for the Thunder not to take advantage of it.
"Are you in such a hurry to drink the bath water?"
Durant was just about to run, when he heard Tang Tian's words, he suddenly froze for a moment.
"If you want, I can help you order some. I know her very well."
Tang Tian continued.
Durant hadn't reacted before, but this time he heard it clearly.
Tang Tian, was talking trash at him!
And it's pretty vicious!
His brows furrowed.
"To shut up!"
He wasn't a calm person, so he stopped right now, yelled and rushed to attack Tang Tian.
Tang Tian also responded without showing any weakness.
The referee immediately blew the whistle to separate the two.
After the separation, Durant was still cursing and seemed very angry.
Popovich was sitting on the bench. Seeing Durant's explosive reaction at the beginning, he suddenly felt that he didn't know Tang Tian.
Looking at Tang Tian's posture, he is completely a villain on the court!
Chapter 268 I Rejected Scarlett (1/5)
The first conflict almost turned into a conflict, and the smell of gunpowder in this game became intense from the very beginning.
The referee just gave a warning whistle.
Durant was a little angry at this moment, and leaned back against Tang Tian to ask for the ball.
Westbrook passes the ball over.
Durant turned over and made a jumper.
Tang Tian interfered enough.
"boom!"
Durant's fights against others are all kinds of misplaced and various advancements, but when he fights Tang Tian, he feels particularly uncomfortable when he fights Tony Allen.
Even purely from the point of view of defensive pressure, because Tang Tian's height and wingspan are better, he puts more pressure on him than Allen.
Parker scored a goal with a breakthrough layup in the frontcourt.
Looking back, Westbrook gave the ball directly to Durant.
He was close to Durant earlier, and he also heard Tang Tian's words, which was too much.
Durant must respond in a tough way.
Durant thought so too. He took the ball and waited until his teammates pulled away, and then made a long-legged breakthrough from the left.
Tang Tian grabs the position and doesn't score, Durant chooses to stand still after stopping the ball.
"boom!"
Tang Tian's interference was still in place, and Durant felt that the rhythm was out of order when he made a move.
There were fans on the sidelines with question marks on their faces.
Durant's performance is completely different from the last game.
Duncan's frontcourt shot caused Perkins' thug foul.
After two free throws, the Spurs started 4-0.
