One Guard

Westbrook had 40 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. Durant had 31 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists. It seems that the Thunder's stats are very scary, and it stands to reason that the Thunder should not lose.

However, both of them have less than 40% shooting percentage, which makes the high scores meaningless. Durant and Westbrook went crazy, KD made 12 of 31 shots and 3 of 11 three-pointers. Westbrook made 11 of 28 shots and 3 of 8 three-pointers. The two of them accounted for most of the team's shots. They still chose to go it alone even with poor shooting.

Moreover, the two made up to 10 turnovers in total. The passing route between Westbrook and Durant was cut off by Yiyang and Iguodala. These mistakes gave the Mavericks many offensive opportunities.

What about the Mavericks? After Yiyang returned, he was not obsessed with scoring. Although his 38 points were not low, his 12 assists also allowed the Mavericks to score five in double figures.

Wade scored 27 points, Dirk 15 points, Deron 14 points, Iguodala 11 points, plus Yiyang, the Mavericks offensive made the Thunder difficult to defend.

After the game, Durant's face was full of black lines. After Yiyang came back, the Thunder completely lost their rhythm. The smooth offense is gone, and Durant's comfortable mobile phone meeting is gone.

"Kevin, what do you think of the loss of this game? After this game, can you get back on track?" Before Durant could walk into the player channel, reporters surrounded him.

"We will win, and the loss of today's game will not affect the progress of the entire series. The next game back to Oklahoma, we will advance to the Western Conference finals." Durant replied badly. I just want to leave Dallas as soon as possible.

"Even if Westbrook and you are crazy today, will you advance to the Western Conference Finals?"

Muran asked nonchalantly, in exchange for Durant's eyes. He didn't answer, but pushed aside the crowd and left directly.

"What do you see in his eyes?" Watching Durant's back disappear into the depths of the player's channel, Mourin asked the photographer next to him.

"Not reconciled?" the young photographer replied.

"No, it's fear, kid. Durant is scared, and his return has made him less confident about the game." Mourin looked at the big screen at the scene. Even Oklahoma can't be yours. Refuge, Kevin.

The day after the end of the game, the Thunder were immediately pushed to the forefront. Obviously he had the advantage, but he was beaten helplessly at the American Route Center Arena. Everyone is questioning whether the Thunder can handle the Mavericks.

Billy Donovan has no intention of caring about the media's cynicism against the Thunder. This is the closest the Thunder has succeeded! If there is no way to defeat the Mavericks in a 3-1 lead, it would be a shame!

Yiyang's return allowed Donovan to discover many problems, not only on the defensive end, but also on the offensive end.

After Yiyang's return, Westbrook could not tear the defense. As a result, the Mavericks defense rarely appears gaps. And this is also the reason why Durant and Westbrook did not shoot high in the last game.

On the defensive end, Westbrook's poor defensive habits allowed Yiyang to easily open the gap. And Yiyang's fatal pass can activate everyone on the Mavericks.

Although it was just a Yiyang, there were too many changes that Donovan needed to make. The power of a person is sometimes incalculable.

On the other hand, everyone from the Mavericks has already gone to Oklahoma. Oklahoma is a place that Yiyang will never forget. The season after the Mavericks won in 2011, it was the Thunder that eliminated the defending champion.

This season, the Thunder officially slogans that they will eliminate the defending champion again. And they did a great job in the first four games.

But after the last game, the Thunder fans, who clearly led the Mavericks 3-2, fell into panic collectively.

They are clearly ahead, but the Mavericks fans are more confident.

Almost everyone believes that the Mavericks can win in Oklahoma, and then counterattack to advance in the tiebreaker in Dallas!

The magic power of this guy Yiyang has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

During these two days of training, all members of the Thunder team were very serious. No one wants to be counterattacked, no one wants to be nailed to the pillar of shame in history. The pressure on them is extremely huge, Donovan even told other people in the coaching staff to deal with the media and not let them disturb the player training.

The Oklahoma game will be the key. If it loses to the Mavericks for the second time in a row at home, this will undoubtedly be a fatal blow to the morale of the Thunder.

Even if they still have a chance to be ashamed in Dallas, it is difficult to reverse the game.

So the sixth game of the series is almost the last chance for the Thunder. Donovan does not allow his players to miss, they must win at home.

However, Donovan has always been just a college coach who just came from the NCAA. There is a lot for this guy to learn about NA.

On May 10, the sixth game of the NA Western Conference semifinals. Chesapeake Energy Arena, Oklahoma.

It has been a long time since Yiyang returned to the Oklahoma City Thunder in the playoffs. The Thunder fans in the stands turned the entire arena into a blue ocean. The fans here will not sit quietly in their seats until the Thunder scores the first goal.

So the fans in blue short sleeves look no different from the turbulent waves.

"This is probably one of NA's craziest home games." Looking around, Yiyang couldn't help but sigh.

"What's this? It's far worse than Salt Lake City." Delong smiled slightly. With 2 to 3 behind, Yiyang was the only reason he could still laugh.

"Hello everyone, audience friends, welcome to lock in ESN! This is the sixth game of the Western Conference semifinals. The Dallas Mavericks and Oklahoma City Thunder are about to start a life and death battle here!" The players on both sides are still warming up, Mike Brin's voice It has been caught in the ears of every football fan watching at home.

"For the Thunder and the Mavericks, this is a game of winning promotion and losing the fishing game. The Mavericks have no room to retreat. If the Thunder loses again, it will hit them extremely hard. So today, the two teams Will fight until the last drop of sweat, fight until the last person falls!"

"No, Kevin, Coach Donovan didn't have the capital to fight for the last person to fall. In fact, as long as Westbrook and Durant fall, they will be gone!" Mike Brin looked before. The five-game data sheet, "Westbrook averaged 39.7 minutes per game in the playoffs this season, and Durant averaged 40.4 minutes per game in the playoffs! Do you know what this means? Coach Novan relies too much on his star. In fact, he relies too much on the starting players."

Mike Brin's gaze fell on Donovan, who was anxiously walking on the sidelines, Billy Donovan, an absolute good comrade and great guy. But before the Thunder, the March Madness Championship was a knockout system. As long as the main force is dead, the opponent can be beaten to death.

But the NA playoffs are a war of attrition, and one or two games won't kill anyone. You kicked me today, and I can chop off your head in the next game!

And Donovan's method of killing the main force of the grass is obviously not feasible in a war of attrition. Durant and Westbrook went crazy in the last game. Actually, there were some physical reasons.

As for Carlisle, the guy with Erlang's legs on the bench is already an old fritters. He knows very well how to control the rhythm in the playoffs.

At the beginning of the game, Yiyang did not let the fans in the Chesapeake Energy Arena sit down. If the Thunder do not score the first goal, the fans will not sit. This is the acquiescence rule among Oklahoma fans.

But the efforts of Yiyang and the whole team kept the Thunder without scoring for the first three minutes! Westbrook and Durant are still crazy, and these two can't score, the Thunder's offense is basically paralyzed.

It wasn't until the third minute and twenty seconds of the first quarter that Ibaka caused a foul by Nowitzki in the three-second zone, and the Thunder broke the scoring drought with two free throws.

But soon, the Thunder got over. Under Donovan's instructions, the Thunder strengthened their defense. Before the start of the game, absolutely no one thought that this game would turn into a dull defensive battle.

There are no fast-paced offenses and defenses, no hearty fast breaks, and only endless iron and drowsy battles.

The Mavericks contained the Thunder, which also restricted Yiyang's play. At least, it didn't make his scoring too easy.

The Thunder's defense has achieved results, until five minutes before the fourth quarter, they still held a six-point advantage!

But perhaps killing Donovan did not expect that the Mavericks actually rained three-pointers like the Warriors at the last moment.

First, Yiyang scored six points in a row from two three-pointers outside the three-point line on Westbrook, filling the disadvantage in one fell swoop. Subsequently, Yiyang assists Wade to attack the inside. As a result, after Wade took off, the ball was passed without watching people in the air, helping Dirk to make a three-pointer again!

The game has been grinding for so long, and the Mavericks' advantages have begun to be reflected. Carlisle is more suitable for NA's rotation, so that the Mavericks can still play in the final moments of the game. In the last five minutes, the exhausted Thunder Third Master's performance can only be described by the word "disaster".

In the last 5 minutes, Yiyang and his teammates put in 5 three-pointers, and Durant made 0 of 3 shots in the last 5 minutes, scored 0 points, 2 turnovers and 1 foul. Westbrook was guarded so that he could only get one call, 0 for 1, score 2 points, 4 turnovers and 1 foul. The two failed performances in the last five minutes caused the Thunder to end the game with a wave of 19 to 5 attacks by the Mavericks in the last five minutes.

"An incredible reversal! They led the Dallas Mavericks to fight back in the last five minutes! They reversed the game and evened the series total score 3 to 3! If it is a tie, the total score is tied! Just win another one! In the field, the Dallas Mavericks can successfully complete the miracle of a 1 to 3 reversal!" Mike Brin was stunned, and Wang Zhan's combination was crazy. Durant made only 10 of 31 shots and 1 of 8 three-pointers~www.novelmtl .com~Westbrook made 10 of 27 shots and 0 of 5 3-pointers. Although the two combined scored 57 points, 16 rebounds, 14 assists and 6 steals, they were still no match for the calm and calm Yiyang in the last five minutes. .

Durant lost, Westbrook lost, and Billy Donovan, a college coach, also lost.

Although this is the Chesapeake Energy Arena, after the game, Yiyang became the object of onlookers for all reporters.

"Can you and the Mavericks return to the home court? How did you reverse the game in the last five minutes of this game!?"

Yiyang looked at the reporters with a calm expression.

"I just want to go home now and see my wife and children."
