The Thunder returned to their home court, and the third game was even worse, with the three fewer shots collectively declining, and only Durant shooting more than 40%.

The Thunder shot 4 of 18 three-pointers overall, Durant and Westbrook both shot 1 of 4, and Harden was even worse, missing all 4 shots. Substitute Daquine Cook hit two three-pointers to finish with six points.

With such an outside performance, the Thunder certainly couldn't break the Clippers' joint defense, losing 83-101 and falling behind 0-3 in the overall score.

On the Clippers side, Paul reduced his shots, shooting 4 of 8, 0 of 1 three-pointers, and 3 of 4 free throws, scoring only 11 points and 13 assists; Griffin didn't shoot well, shooting just 11-of-24 from the field and 4-of-8 from the free-throw line to finish with 26 points, nine rebounds and four assists.

Battier stepped up unexpectedly and played 38 minutes, finishing with 17 points and four rebounds on 6-of-9 shooting, 4-of-6 three-pointers and 1-of-2 free throws.

This Battier dared to attack when he was out of position, drew a foul on Ibaka for an air-cut layup, and twice broke through after facing Perkins and hit a one-step pull-and-shoot shot.

When veterans are in good shape, there will be unexpected performances.

Before the start of Game 4, news broke out that was good for the Clippers. Some media said that Harden was unhappy with the ball, arguing with his teammates in the locker room, and is likely to leave the Thunder in the summer.

According to the news, Harden was very disgusted with Westbrook, thinking that he was too lonely to play the ball, and he was unwilling to average only ten shots per game, nor was he willing to be a substitute all the time, so he began to fight for the ball in the playoffs and took more shots. He has a lot of quality and is eager to play as a starter to the best of his ability!

Westbrook averaged 20.4 shots per game in the playoffs, Durant 19.1, and Harden 10.7, 0.6 more shots than in the regular season. It's too special to bully Harden!

Some media are really afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and they are talking nonsense with their eyes wide open. In his previous life, when Yang Rui was a white-collar worker on the website, he had seen a lot of news in this area, and he still remembered it vividly.

Not only Harden, in Yang Rui's previous life, when Durant left the Thunder in 16 years, there was also news that broke the news, in fact, the relationship between Durant and Westbrook was not as harmonious as people imagined, and not wanting to stay with Wei Shao was the most fundamental reason why Durant chose to leave, not in order to chase the championship as people thought.

In fact, Durant communicated with the team's management in 2011, begging to trade Wei Shao out of the team, and he didn't want to stay with Wei Shao to play. From that time to 16 years, Durant's resentment has accumulated so much, he hasn't gone crazy......

In fact, Durant clarified several times in interviews that it was not because Wei Shao left the Thunder, he just wanted to win the championship.

This kind of news did not allow Harden to get more balls, and he shot 5-of-11 from the field, 3-of-8 from three-point range, and 6-of-6 from the free-throw line, finishing with 19 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals.

Durant finished with 32 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block on 13-of-24 shooting, 3-of-6 three-pointers and 3-of-3 free throws.

The two played very well, but Westbrook buried the Thunder's good game, he shot 0 of 7 in the final quarter, scored only two points on free throws, and dared to shoot a shot even if he couldn't shoot, and played a game that pleased the opponent.

He played 43 minutes, shooting just 4-of-20, 0-of-5 from three-point range and 11-of-13 from the free-throw line, finishing with 19 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals. With this kind of shooting rate of 20%, accounting for a quarter of the team's shots, it is difficult for the Clippers to lose.

In this series, it is difficult for Westbrook to break through, and he will be caught near the penalty area, so he can only face Paul and make strong shots under interference, which is not his strong point.

Westbrook has been a postseason player in the past few years with a low shooting percentage and high turnovers.

In the '11 playoffs, he averaged 39% shooting and 4.6 turnovers per game; After three rounds this year, he averaged 42.4% shooting per game, 4.3 turnovers per game, and he averaged only 5.8 assists per game, which is worse than any point guard in the league.

On the Clippers' side, Curry, Paul, Griffin, and Korver scored 20+ points, and six scored double-doubles, defeating the Thunder 123-106 and thus sweeping to advance to the Finals.

After the game, Thunder coach Brooks attributed the loss to the fact that the Clippers were too strong and flawless offensively and defensively.

In fact, Brooks was tempted to say that Fisher's defense was too bad, but he finally held back, and at this time, blaming a veteran on the bench for the loss seemed too unsatisfactory, despite the fact that it was true.

Because Fisher's organization was too poor, the Thunder couldn't let Wei Shao rest at all, otherwise it would be difficult to dribble the ball through the half; Fisher's performance at the No. 2 position was even worse, and he could only try to find confrontations and could not interfere with his shots.

Korver played just 23 minutes today, shooting 7-of-11, 7-of-8 from three-point range and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line, scoring 23 points, no rebounds, no assists. Korver's style of play was catch-and-shoot shots, four of which were forced to meet Fisher.

At this time, Brooks couldn't imagine that he would give face to the old fish, and what kind of damage the old fish would bring to the thunder.

In Yang Rui's previous life, who ruined the Thunder team that had just reached the finals? This issue has been discussed for many years.

Some fans threw the pot at general manager Presti, believing that he had caused Harden to leave in order to save money. But after the Thunder offered Harden a four-year $54 million contract and was rejected, Harden proposed to want four years and $58 million, and his psychological price was not high.

The Thunder traded Harden to the Rockets, and in the end his contract amount was 5 years and 80 million, but Harden cried after getting the news, he wanted to stay with the Thunder to play, and he wanted to hit the championship next season.

Some fans think that Harden actually wants to be the leader more and is unwilling to stay in the Thunder to accept the position of the third, and some people say that it is the second young man who squeezes out Harden. Many people have forgotten that in fact, in the news at that time, there was a figure looming.

Throughout the 2011-12 season, especially in the playoffs, rumors of Harden competing for the ball never went away, and the most exciting news was that Harden was angrily rebuked by Fisher in the locker room.

Fisher's role is very suspicious, he often appears as a mentor to the three young, but there is only one object of criticism, and that is Harden.

What is ridiculous is that in the Lakers, Fisher did not dare to criticize Kobe, and even Love, Rohr Deng and others never listened to him. When he arrived at the Thunder, Fisher constantly ruined the atmosphere in the team, as if he had become the leader of the locker room.

Presti, the general manager from the Spurs, was extremely concerned about the atmosphere in the locker room, and finally sent Harden away, and the last straw that broke the camel was not the extra 4 million, but the so-called news of several "Harden complaining about his teammates in the locker room", which was exposed because of Fisher.

Fisher is just a player who pleases the boss, and in his career, he has always relied on this rule to survive. When it comes to the Thunder, the objects he chooses to support are Durant and Westbrook, so as to suppress Harden. It was his remarks that made Presti mistakenly think that Harden was about to become a cancer and eventually sent him away.

In Yang Rui's previous life, during the period when he was coached by the Knicks, Fisher completely exposed his true colors, he tried to continue to form a gang in the team, but being a coach and a player are two different things, and finally he fell out with Anthony and was personally fired by "Zen Master" Jackson. And because his character is recognized as inferior, he will not be a head coach in the future.

In this life, Fisher still let the Thunder break the news of infighting, the Thunder did not make it to the finals, and Harden would be sent away ninety percent. After that, the Thunder, who is weak on the bench, will no longer be able to reach the Finals, and it is only a matter of time before Durant, who can't see the hope of the championship, leaves.

In fact, the biggest mistake of the Thunder management is that they should not sign Fisher in the middle of this year, but unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world.
