Chapter 795: Prove Yourself
The Thunder are also very helpless.
In the third quarter, Qin Yang frantically got 21 points and 4 assists, leading the team to take away the Thunder team in waves.
In addition to not being strong on the defensive end, the Thunder team is not safe enough on the offensive end, and the best offensive play in this quarter turned out to be Paul George, who made all kinds of off-ball shots and scored 12 points, while Westbrook played all kinds of iron, and Carmelo Anthony played a song about how steel is made.
It's sour.
After three quarters, the difference was 18 points.
There is no suspense.
The third game is about to be won again.
The Mavericks will win against the Thunder, which can be expected before the game, TNT experts predict the results of the game, in the second round of the game, the most suspenseful is the Mavericks and the Thunder, but the three games are easily won, this kind of crushing, surprising.
TNT News;
"While we have no doubt about the Dallasians' victory, who would have predicted that the Thunder, led by the Big Three, would be defenseless."
'Westbrook lacks the ability to lead the team, he can't prove himself. Paul George has been in a slump of form, averaging just 15 points per game in these games, which is not up for a superstar. Carmelo Anthony can't be said to be a melon now, his scoring efficiency value is even negative, and the Dallas man has no suspense to win. ”
The Seattle Post:
"The Ohrahhoma City Thunder are playing worse than expected, there has never been such a big three in the NBA, and Westbrook has one last game to prove himself."
That's right, there's only one game left.
The Mavericks will sweep the Thunder.
And in the fourth game, Qin Yang was even more speechless.
Because of the half-time, the difference is 18 points.
In this game, Westbrook's data exploded, from the beginning of the game, the Thunder team was a team with one less person, taking the ball is doing it alone, after shooting, it is to grab rebounds, and when defending, it doesn't matter what else, it is to rush to grab rebounds, as for defense and strategy, what is that.
Westbrook won't pass the ball until it is absolutely necessary.
As a result, Carmelo Anthony can only watch the play from the sidelines, and Paul George is in a slump again.
Qin Yang even only played for 27 minutes, because the score difference was too big, and he entered garbage time.
Westbrook got 46 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists, which is very impressive in the playoffs.
But after the game, Carmelo Anthony was silent.
Paul George also bowed his head.
The post-match press conference was boring.
Carmelo Anthony spoke directly about the next year of his contract:
'I'm not going to jump out of my contract, I can choose to buy out if the team wants to, but it's up to the team to decide. I wouldn't choose a substitute because I never played as a substitute. ”
Carmelo Anthony has one year left on his contract, and his final year, $30 million, is a veritable garbage contract.
The poisonous melon really pitted the Thunder team.
But the Thunder want Melon to jump out of the contract and go to another team on his own? This is impossible, and Melon also knows that he will not be able to get such a big contract in the future, so this year's contract will definitely not be easily given up, so Anthony will say buyout.
If there are no surprises, the Thunder can only choose to buy out.
Otherwise, the Thunder could be paying the luxury tax and not making the playoffs.
It's a tragedy.
In his post-match interview, Paul George said nothing about his decision: "I don't know where to go next, Los Angeles is an option for me, so is Ohla Home, of course I don't rule out joining other teams, I hope to win." ”
Paul George was depressed, and after this series, Paul George was scolded miserably.
The average data per game is sluggish, and many fans and pundits have severely reprimanded Paul George.
Of course, the most important thing for the Mavericks is to sweep and advance.
In the second round of the playoffs, the strength is very strong, and it is very difficult to sweep it.
In another game in the West, the Warriors played against the Rockets, seven games, and in the sixth game, Chris Paul went off the court due to injury in the final quarter, burying the Rockets' hopes of advancing to the Western Conference Finals, and in the last game, even James Harden got 42 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists, but he could not lead the team to advance.
In seven fierce battles, the Warriors advanced in a thrilling manner.
The second round in the East is strikingly similar to the West.
The Celtics also played seven games against the 76ers.
The 76ers are not weak, they played very well throughout the game, and Embiid averaged 26+12+4+2 data per game, which is almost the best interior in the NBA in recent years.
Redick, Ben Simmons, and Covington all played well.
The Celtics have too many rookies, their state is unstable, and there are people pit teammates in every game, and Kelly Irving only hit more than 30% of the shooting rate in two of the games, becoming an undercover agent for the team, but fortunately in the seventh game, Irving played well, 13 of 23, and led the team to victory.
In the second round, the worst was the Raptors.
The Raptors, who had the first record in the East in the regular season, were swept out of the game led by James after meeting James.
The Raptors defended well, and Harrison Barnes was a strong small forward, but it didn't help.
James averaged 34 points, 11.3 assists, 8.4 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 1 block per game.
Compared with Qin Yang, James is more versatile, because Qin Yang's rebounds are four or five per game, while James's rebounds are close to ten.
Almost averaged a triple-double per game in the Finals.
It's so perverted.
Of course, no one noticed that Kevin Love averaged 20.5 points, 11.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1 block and 1 steal per game in this series.
Kevin Love's key role is crucial for the Cavaliers.
All eyes are on you; LeBron James, Kevin Love but few people pay attention.
The second round is over, and the East-West finals appear.
In the East, the Celtics take on the Cavaliers.
In the West, the Mavericks take on the Warriors.
The East-West finals caused a sensation.
In the East, the rise of the Celtics is not a surprise, but there is a lot of contention between the Celtics and the Cavaliers. Because the current boss of the Celtics is Kelly Irving, one of the cores of the Cavaliers, LeBron James's younger brother, the grievances between the two can be described as full of affection.
When Irving left James, the reason he gave was that I was going to lead the team to prove myself.
Now the opportunity has finally arrived.
Lead the Celtics to defeat the Cavaliers, and Kelly Irving can prove himself,
But it's hard to say whether LeBron James can lead the team to victory, after all, James led the team to a 4-0 sweep of the Raptors just in the past.
Anything is possible.
The big war is on the verge of breaking out!
