NBA: Come off the bench to save the national team

At this time.

The Lakers and Thunder are conducting pregame interviews.

"Qin, you will face the powerful Lakers, do you still have the confidence to sweep the Lakers led by Kobe?"

The reporter asked, very curious.

"Of course! We're going to work toward that goal, and I'm sure it's going to be a tough process, because the Lakers are the strongest team in the West, and they also have the top scorer in NBA history, Kobe Bryant.

Qin Feng said seriously, his expression solemn.

If there's one team in the league that makes him feel jealous, it's the Lakers.

He played the Lakers three times in the regular season and achieved a 1-2 record.

Each time, the winner is determined until the last moment of the game.

And the only game won, if it weren't for Qin Feng's crazy use of expendable skills and the [Kill Jumper] skill to kill the Lakers, I am afraid it would have been difficult to win.

Now his strength has improved and become stronger, and I don't know if he can compete with the Lakers this time.

If not, then continue to use the Expendable skill!

Either way, he's going to win the series and reach the finals.

"Qin, you regard Kobe as one of the greatest offensive players in NBA history, so how do you evaluate your offensive ability?"

The reporter asked.

"Just remove one of them."

Qin Feng said indifferently.

The reporter's face was stunned, remove the "one", isn't that the greatest offensive player in NBA history!

Boy.

It's really immodest!

The reporters continued to interview, and the emotions had become more and more excited, and the anticipation of the game increased.

.......

Lakers interview room.

"Kobe, what do you think of Qin Feng's crazy performance in the playoffs?"

The reporter asked.

"Crazy! Incredible! Qin Feng actually played a quadruple double data of 50+ per game, which really refreshed my three views!

"I think Popovich and Duncan will be impressed by this series, and they will be impressed and will never forget."

Kobe Bryant said, with a hint of surprise in his tone, and a little appreciation.

"Do you think Qin Feng can play as well as before in the series against the Lakers?"

The reporter asked.

"I'll defend him!"

Kobe Bryant did not answer this question directly, but said so, his eyes became sharp, and his voice was full of a faint murderous aura.

Defend Qin Feng!

That also means that it will not be allowed to play 50+ quadruple doubles against the sky.

Feeling Kobe's fierce murderous aura, the reporters froze one after another, knowing that this game must be bloody and tragic.

......

After completing the pre-match interview, both teams came to the pitch to start warming up.

"Man, who do you guess will win the first game of the Western Final?"

Narrator Mike Brin asked his partner, Barkley.

"Oh, that's a really hard question to answer, and I'm still willing to believe in the strength of the Lakers."

Barkley said with a smile, completely unafraid to slap him in the face.

Although he often digs holes for others, he himself is also a pit jumping king and often says things that are unspoken.

"yes! The strength of the Lakers is surprising. "

This team was considered the favorites to win the championship all season, but Qin Feng's performance in the playoffs gave us some illusions."

"Let's see if Qin Feng can lead the Thunder team to pose a threat to the Lakers?"

Mike Brin said, setting his sights on the court.

Everyone knows that it was Qin Feng who brought the rebuilt team of the Thunder team to heights that should not be taken, and it was he who made the teammates around him better.

Qin Feng's performance will directly determine the performance of the Thunder team.

Compared with James to the Cavaliers, Kobe to the Lakers, the Thunder rely more on Qin Feng.

So Qin Feng is the barometer of the Thunder Team.

In the previous two rounds of the series, none of the Mavericks and Spurs could match Qin Feng, but this round of the series has Kobe, a superstar who integrates attack and defense.

Then can Qin Feng still play like before?

This is perhaps the biggest attraction of this game.

Honk!

The referee blew his whistle.

The starters from both sides appeared.

The Thunder side is still a regular starter: Chandler, Jeff Green, Durant, Qin Feng, Wei Shao.

The starting lineup on the Lakers' side is: Bynum, Gasol, Ariza, Kobe Bryant, Fisher.

Last year, because of Bynum's injury, the strength of the Lakers' penalty area was affected, and he eventually lost the championship.

Bynum has made a strong comeback this season, forming a two-tower lineup with Gasol to form the strongest penalty area defense in the league.

Syllable!

The basketball was shot by Bynum.

Fisher grabbed the basketball and dribbled past the half, then handed it to Bryant.

As a pseudo-point guard, Fisher did the most to dribble the basketball through the half, then pass the ball to Kobe Bryant, while he was in a position waiting to shoot a three-pointer.

Kobe held the ball at the top of the arc, and Qin Feng directly defended it.

Gasol mentioned high for blocking.

This is the most commonly used blocking tactic by the Lakers.

With Gasol's cover, Bryant broke through and directly stopped the jumper.

The basketball crosses a high arc.

Swish!

Hollow into the net.

The Thunder attacked.

After Wei Shao dribbled through the half, he also passed the ball to Qin Feng.

After the All-Star Game, Qin Feng became the big core of the Thunder team's ball handling, and all offensive initiation and driving were controlled by Qin Feng.

This also caused Wei Shao's tactical role to decline rapidly, and the performance of the court also plummeted.

However, with great talent, Wei Shao still gained the trust of Brooks and always played the starting position.

Qin Feng and Durant blocked and demolished.

Bryant and Ariza stepped forward to grab the bag.

Qin Feng passed the ball to Durant in time, who was empty two meters in front of him and shot a three-pointer directly.

Swish!

Hit.

Compared with the tension and confusion of just playing the playoffs, Durant has now fully used the intensity and atmosphere of the playoffs, and his performance on the court has steadily improved.

In the series against the Spurs, he has improved his scoring average to 25.6 points per game, and is Qin Feng's biggest helper among the Thunder.

And Qin Feng and Durant's high-position blocking is also the Thunder's trump card tactic.

Both have the ability to shoot three-pointers, as well as passing ability, breakthrough ability, fast movement and other characteristics.

No matter who the Lakers choose to bag, the other player is offensive and has very flexible changes.

The Lakers attacked.

Bryant passed the ball to Gasol.

Taking advantage of the misalignment, Gasol easily hit Jeff Green's defensive shot.

All teams know that the Thunder have two major disadvantages in their starting lineup, one is Jeff Green's height and defense.

He originally played the position of small forward, but because he overlapped with Durant's position, he was helplessly pushed to the position of power forward.

Jeff Green, who has excellent physical fitness, is a bit mediocre in the power forward position and is often targeted by opponents.

So power forwards are the absolute weak link of the Thunder.

Throughout the playoffs, two legendary power forwards, Nowitzki and Duncan, scored freely on Jeff Green's head.

Brooks could only arrange pockets or assist defenses to relieve Jeff Green's defensive pressure.

Today, Jeff Green is still being targeted.

Another major weakness of the Thunder is Wei Shao's shooting ability.

Because the three-point shooting ability and mid-range shooting ability are poor, Wei Shao cannot open up space for the team, which leads to defenders can safely go to the box to make up defense, and completely ignore Wei Shao who is standing outside.

Once Qin Feng also considered binding the training system for Wei Shao to improve his shooting ability.

But the embarrassing thing is that Wei Shao's three-point shooting rate is only 25%, and the mid-range shooting rate is only 30%!

Even if it is improved by 5% through the training system, it is still below the average of the league....

This made Qin Feng completely give up this idea, or wait for Wei Shao to improve himself.

After all, it's Wei Shao's rookie season, and there's still a lot of room for improvement.

Even so, Jeff Green and Wilson are still the best options for the Thunder's starters, and for now, no one can replace them.

In the trade market this summer's offseason, the Thunder will definitely focus on strengthening these two points.

Let's get back to business.

The Thunder attacked.

Qin Feng arced the top to organize the attack with the ball.

Still with Durant's high blocking, this time the Lakers did not choose to wrap Qin Feng, but adopted the tactic of changing defenses.

Qin Feng dribbled faster, easily passed Gasol's defense and rushed to the box.

Seeing this, Bynum came up to defend.

Qin Feng jumped high, put the basketball on his waist against Bynum's defense, and passed it to Chandler, who was empty under the basket with a flick of his wrist.

The latter received a basketball with an easy two-handed dunk to score.

Time for the next few minutes.

The two sides come and go, and they have a lot of fun.

And Kobe and Qin Feng seem to have discussed in advance, but they did not take the initiative to open the personal attack mode, and they have been passing the ball to assist their teammates!

This makes the fans anxious.

How did it be so peaceful that it was not a pinnacle showdown between the league's strongest players?
