"Russell, don't care what Don said." At this moment, Durant came over and said to Westbrook. He was standing next to him just now. He could hear clearly what Don said to Westbrook.

Westbrook nodded, but his eyes were full of dissatisfaction. It was obvious that Durant's words could not let him go so easily.

Durant saw Westbrook's expression and had a helpless look, but it was hard to say anything else.

For the Thunder's offense, Westbrook asked Kant to do a pick-and-roll, and then prepared to go to the inside.

Seeing this scene, Durant had reached out to defend the ball, and turned around outside the three-point line and was ready to return to defense.

Kanter is one of the few players in the league who is stronger than defense. His quality in pick-and-roll is far less than that of Adams. This pick-and-roll only blocked Tang Shuai halfway. When Westbrook began to rush in, Tang Shuai squeezed over and formed a "dumpling" situation with Jordan Jr. one in front and one behind.

Seeing the front and back attacks, Westbrook directly chose to accelerate and strengthen without saying a word.

With his physical fitness, if he chose to be strong at the beginning, he would probably create scoring opportunities, but now he almost played three quarters and had already exhausted his physical strength. When he was strong, he was forced to stop by Jordan.

And because it was pressed on the ball, the referee's whistle didn't sound until the ball slipped from Westbrook's hand.

The ball that landed was grabbed by Smith on the side, and then threw it to Shuai Tang on the outside.

Shuai Tang rushed forward quickly, and at this time only Robertson was running back with him, and it was still behind him.

The fans at the scene were in an uproar, not because of this defense, but because of this fast attack by Tang Shuai. His dribbling speed was as fast as Robertson who was half a head higher than him and was not in the ball!

Everything needs to be compared. When running with Westbrook, because the speed of both sides is similar, they can feel effective defense. However, after being replaced by Robertson, the feeling becomes completely different, and it looks like a wind is coming from Tang Shuai's feet.

Tang Shuai was at the frontcourt free throw line in a blink of an eye. After looking back, he saw Robertson still chasing him hard, he suddenly slowed down.

The descent came very suddenly. Robertson didn't expect that when he realized that Tang Shuai was slowing down and followed him, Tang Shuai suddenly started to accelerate again.

Ai exclusive OSover package, the rhythm changes quickly and effectively. With just this acceleration, Robertson could not react at all. Even because the speed reduction and acceleration process happened too quickly, he couldn't control it for a while, hooked himself and fell directly to the ground.

Tang Shuai followed with a light layup.

He scored his personal 20th point in this game! In an extremely gorgeous way!

Westbrook had already turned around at this time, and after seeing Tang Shuai's beautiful layup, he was stunned.

At the end, he slapped himself in the face, and in such a posture, he stayed on the court with helplessness.

When Donovan saw this, he finally realized that the Clippers' tenacity was far more tenacious than he imagined. It was a bit unrealistic for him to end the game in this quarter. At this time, he hurriedly pointed to Ibaka and Fury behind him, and asked them to replace the Double Young Master last time.

The Thunder team had a double-fewer, and the Clippers quickly took the initiative. Robertson alone wanted to stop Tang Shuai, who had an exclusive skill package, and the points were almost recovered a little.

Donovan started watching completely at this time, letting the points be narrowed a little bit, and he was determined to let the Shuang Shao sit off the court.

80-86, at the end of the third quarter, the Clippers had already scored 6 points, but Donovan did not let any of the double-fewer play in the last four points.

At the end of the third quarter, the Clippers' players all seemed extremely optimistic, talking and laughing off the court.

Tang Shuai couldn't help but worry at this moment. Donovan's decision to let the Double Young Master rest is very bold, but it has to be said that this is a very correct decision. When the Double Young Master rests in the fourth quarter, it would be too difficult for the Clippers to block the attack that was broken and devastating.

In fact, the main reason why the Clippers can unexpectedly get to where they are today is that Tang Shuai used a single consumption package. Otherwise, relying solely on his current strength and the Clippers' lineup, whether it is the Thunder or the Warriors, the hope of winning is extremely low.

Tang Shuai’s concerns were not unreasonable. After returning from the fourth quarter, Donovan asked the Shuang Shao to rest for most of the quarter and was proved to be a bold and correct decision.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Durant, one of the two-time young men, took the lead in the game. At this time, Tang Shuai and Booker were resting off the court. Durant combined a surprise shot and kept shooting, and the points were pulled to double digits almost long.

Seeing that the momentum was wrong, Kassel was forced to replace Shuai Tang and Booker.

And when Tang Shuai went up here, Westbrook also appeared.

The two young men all went on the battlefield, and a tide of offense was the Clippers unable to defend against it, but they could not defeat it, and both ends of the offense and defense were restrained.

92 to 106, after sticking to three quarters, the Clippers were finally taken away by a wave of double-shou, and unfortunately lost the first game of the series.

The Thunder's double-team performance was excellent. Durant made 16 of 30 shots in the game and contributed the team's highest 40 points. Westbrook also scored a double-double with 36 points and 10 assists. When the Clippers did not have a good defender to limit the double-team, they completely opened it.

However, despite losing the game, the Clippers' tenacity and perseverance were still seen by fans. If Donovan hadn't had the bold decision in the third quarter, the Clippers might have hope of winning.

And what's interesting is that Tang Shuai made 30 points and 5 assists in 12 of 25 shots in this game. Although his performance is a bit different from playing against the Warriors, the sentence "Even if I don't shoot a goal, I won't let Tang Shuai score more than 20 points" made this data more meaningful. This not only exceeded 20 points, but also exceeded 50%. If this is considered a slap in the face, it would be equivalent to double the play.

However, Westbrook was particularly shameless this time. After the reporter threw this question to him, he said without blushing and his heart was not beating: "I don't care about my own data, nor do I care about my opponent's data. In the end, we won the game, which is more important than anything else."

It happened that his tone was almost the same as what Tang Shuai said in an interview: "20 points, 30 points, or even 40 points, or 50 points, these are no longer meaningful to me, because I have already won them all, and for me, winning the game is the most important thing."

From Tang Shuai's tone, he could still feel his desire to win, even if he could

The Clippers are actively preparing for the game, but their strength is still much worse than the Thunder. The second home game is still held in Oklahoma City.

The game was still very fierce. The Clippers could be said to have fought hard and Tang Shuai played at 43 minutes in the last game with the Warriors, but this was not enough to make up for the strength gap between the two teams. This time, the Clippers collapsed until five minutes left in the fourth quarter. The main reason for the collapse was that the Thunder Double Young Master took the field for two minutes off the court and then took away the game. A familiar wave of flow took away the game.

The Shuang Shao scored 72 points again in the second game, and Tang Shuai's 29 points and 6 assists seemed to be very unstoppable.

In fact, as the commentator Reggie Miller said in the second game, the Clippers have tried their best, but there is indeed a gap in strength between the two sides. When Tang Shuai faced an All-Star player like Westbrook, his performance was no longer as good as in the Warriors series, and it was normal to lose.

This was an ordinary thing, but Westbrook seemed to be unable to help himself after winning the game. In the press conference after the second game, he faced the reporter's interview and said bluntly: "Tonight's victory is very important. It has taken us a solid step towards the finals. We respect our opponents, but luck will not always accompany the entire playoffs. Their luck has been used up in the matchup with the Warriors. Although this may be a bit inappropriate, I think our opponents cannot win the next game."

The reason why Westbrook said this was on the one hand to cheer the Thunder, and on the other hand, after two games of entanglement with Tang Shuai, the "rookie", his unhappiness has risen to the point where he doesn't vomit.

In fact, after he said this, the reporters interviewed him were shocked. This was like giving him a big mouthful of madness. He asked with some uncertainty: "You mean the Thunder will sweep the Clippers in the Western Conference Finals?"

Westbrook said without thinking: "Yes, I'm sure I have this confidence."

After the video of this interview was played, it caused a stir online.

Xiao Changbahu: I am a fan of Los Angeles. Westbrook is really too arrogant. Yes, the Thunder took a 2-0 lead, but after two games, it was not easy for them to win. God knows where he got his confidence, and he was able to say such words!

The Treasure in the Wind: I am a neutral fan. Westbrook is a passionate and hard-working player in my heart. He surpassed Paul in my own open rankings and ranked first. I don’t need to question my love for him, but I also think that this is not appropriate when he said this in an interview with the media. Although the Clippers lost the first two games, they played very resiliently. I believe they can still win some games.

Astray is the king: Haha, this swearing grandma is full of swearing. Why do I have a premonition that the Thunder will lose the third game between the two sides? Am I the Octopus Emperor?
