After the Thunder team held a press conference after the game, they set off overnight to Los Angeles and entered the hotel at 3 a.m.

When I woke up at noon, there were only 30 hours left before the sixth game, and the team staff were busy.

Durant and others were a little excited. Even veteran Chandler, who had experience in the playoffs, was trying to find a place to practice more, and he felt like he wanted to start the game immediately. After all, the chance to advance to the finals was right in front of him, and he was unbearable.

Su Yang was also excited, but he pretended to be calm, deliberately stepped on flip flops and went to the restaurant for dinner in a loudspeaker. By the way, he also talked to Durant about the official separation rumors that Scarlett Johnson had just exposed, and the gossip said that he would definitely divorce.

The original intention was to relieve tension, but I thought Durant would focus on his head after listening, as if he had made up some decision.

After lunch, Su Yang led the team to Malibu Beach to play without any nervousness.

However, I met several extremist people who claimed to be Lakers fans to harass them, which made me a little disappointed and returned to the hotel early.

At 5:30 p.m. the next day, the whole team took a bus to Staples Stadium for warm-up training.

Su Yang arranged several training programs and went to the media center for interviews. He found that at least twenty media outlets were present.

After answering several questions in the process, the reporter asked whether he agreed with Bill Simmons' evaluation of the era.

Su Yang thought for a moment and thought: "Who knows? We may just briefly reach the Finals between the Lakers and the Spurs like the Mavericks, but players like KD and LBJ are indeed dominating the league."

The interview content quickly spread to Twitter. Many fans criticized Su Yang's approach to Durant and LeBron's equal status, believing that LeBron was a MVP for two consecutive times, and had been with the All-Stars many times, leading the team to the finals alone. In recent years, it has been restricted by the three Celtics and the Cavaliers as a whole that they were too weak to win the championship. Their strength and achievements are far superior to Durant.

When Su Yang saw the comments from fans, he thought Durant would definitely see Twitter, and there was one more gain BUFF.

The whole team gathered in the locker room at 6:30. Su Yang first asked Chandler to speak as the captain, and then told the Thunder generals: "Everyone, the opportunity is right in front of you. No matter how bad the situation is after the game, don't doubt yourself, and don't underestimate the Lakers no matter how much lead. The Trail Blazers were able to win the championship in the first playoffs that year, of course we can do it too!"

Durant took the lead in cheering, and the Thunder team walked out of the locker room with great confidence and headed straight for the stadium.

At about seven o'clock, the game officially started.

The starting lineup of the two teams has not been adjusted, the Lakers won the jump ball, and they directly contacted Kobe for the first time.

Sefrosa responded with all his strength, not only did she not take fake moves, but she also took the ball out of Kobe's hands.

Unfortunately, he failed to get the shot in a hurry, but Kobe was forced to make a little anxious and rushed to shoot and hit the iron.

The Thunder counterattacked with the change of sides, Westbrook asked Chandler to play the pick-and-roll, and faced Bynum's contraction, he decisively stopped and jumped.

The basketball hit the front basket and hit the iron, the Lakers pushed the ball to counterattack, Kobe received the ball from the waist and played with the back, turned around and slipped the bottom line and scored a back basket.

Turning around, the Thunder performed a 23-position singles cooperation, but when Durant used the cover to cross the paint area, Bynum quietly reached out and pushed it, successfully delaying Durant's speed. Arte took the opportunity to catch up, and Durant was forced to get the ball at the three-point line.

Su Yang shouted at the referee for a foul. Durant himself was not in a mood. He turned around and threatened to attack as usual. Unexpectedly, Kobe resolutely carried out double-teaming, while Sefrosa received the ball and made a big open three-pointer but failed to hit the Lakers counterattack again.

Fisher took advantage of the chaos to rush the basket, Ibaka ruthlessly nailed the big hat, Westbrook also started to rush hard after receiving the pass.

But Lake Twin Towers were already in the backcourt, so Westbrook could only take action very reluctantly, and the basketball rebounded and fell.

Just like that, the Lakers fought for life and made long shots, plus small movements interfering with the running position, and strongly played an 8-0 shot.

The Lakers' momentum gradually increased, but Su Yang did not call for a timeout, but only let Westbrook control the rhythm slightly. Then, while watching the players miss the iron, chatting with the referee, saying that he understood the pressure of the referee's work and hoped not to have the Thunder for too long.

Occasionally, during free throws, I clapped my hands and reminded the players not to panic, because there is a basic defensive platform and the Lakers' score is not high.

The game was almost three minutes left in the first quarter before Green and Harden were sent as usual, and finally the situation was opened.

With an 8-point disadvantage, the Thunder entered the second quarter. Su Yang made temporary adjustments, allowing Westbrook to play early, and also played as a shooting guard, directly making the Lakers' substitute shooting guard Shannon Bu dizzy, helping the Thunder score 6 points in a row.

Phil Jackson was forced to arrange Kobe to play in advance and was responsible for defending Westbrook from the main defense, wasting more energy.

But the referee still ignored Bynum and Ate's small moves, and the Thunder could not launch a continuous attack.

After the first half, the Thunder fell behind 47-50. Chandler and Ibaka suffered two fouls. Harden suffered three fouls because he had been defending Kobe for a while, and two of them were still fouls. It seems that the situation is quite dangerous.

Durant was quite irritable and complained in words that the referee would not give the whistle, and was almost knocked away by Bynum several times.

Su Yang emphasized that he would continue to put pressure, and then continued: "Persevere! The Lakers are in a difficult situation like us, especially since even Kobe took the initiative to commit fouls. They can't find a better way, and their path has come to an end."

The third quarter started, and the situation was similar to the first quarter. Both teams were not allowed to enter the inside easily. The Thunder paid the price of seven fouls, and the Lakers were forced to let go of many two-pointers. After the third quarter, the Thunder overtook the Lakers by 1 point.

A single point lead cannot change the situation. The game entered the fourth quarter, and the whistle sounded more frequently than before, but finally the standards were unified.

Durant then began to easily get the ball, attracting the Lakers to double-team stronger than before, while other Thunder players would be better off getting their phones, and gradually established a five-point lead. But just after Harden hit a three-pointer again, the situation changed dramatically.

As if destined, Ate beat Harden to the ground with one elbow, and the referee urgently stopped the game.

The court suddenly fell into chaos, and assistant coach Snyder rushed into the court in an instant, not to help Harden fight, but to stop Westbrook.

Another assistant coach Brian helped stop Ibaka, Durant and three others surrounded Harden and asked about their injuries.

Su Yang stood on the sidelines throughout the whole process and did not move. After receiving an OK reply from Harden, he quickly deduced how to fight next.

In just one minute, the referee completed the call and directly drove Artai out of the field, giving the Thunder a technical foul free throw.

Durant easily hit a free throw, helping the Thunder establish a 9-point lead, with only 3 minutes and 11 seconds left in the game.

The Lakers did not give up. Kobe and Odom broke through and scored consecutively, but could not stop Durant from killing and killing.

With one minute left in the game, Su Yang instructed to shorten the time, Westbrook ran around the field with the ball and couldn't catch it.

When the whistle sounded in the final game, the Thunder narrowly defeated the Lakers 101-97, and advanced to the finals by 4-2.

As usual, Su Yang walked to the technical desk and shook hands with Phil Jackson, smiling. He never thought of Phil Jackson. But he said: "You should stay on a bigger stage. A place like Oklahoma is not enough for you to play. Finally, congratulations!"

"Thank you!" Su Yang nodded slightly.

The photographers took photos with a fierce look, and Van Gundy on the ESPN commentator's seat commented on the two's completion of the historical heritage.
Chapter completed!
