Kobe Bryant scored 15 points in the first quarter. Usually, when this devilish No. 24 starts such a scoring performance, the game will generally be no longer suspense.

In the second quarter, Kobe's backhand dunk after a breakthrough, and an all-time dunk after receiving a pass from his teammate, all seemed to be swearing that he hadn't grown old yet.

But in this game, Kevin Durant used his super exciting scoring ability to shatter the Los Angeles Lakers' hopes! At the same time, he also swore that the era that belonged to Kobe Bryant will be completely over!

Durant, Harden and Westbrook scored 25 points, 17 points and 28 points respectively. They defeated Kobe, who scored 42 points in a single game. The reputation of the third young master of the Thunder has shocked the entire league.

The moment the electronic beep sounded, the whole of Los Angeles fell into despair! The Los Angeles Lakers, who had just won the championship two years ago, lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder, who played for the first time in the playoffs two years ago!

This rapidly growing youth army has quietly become the most powerful force in the West!

4-1, the Oklahoma City Thunder cleanly and neatly killed the arrogant Los Angeles Lakers. The powerful Purple and Gold Legion looked powerless in front of the young Thunder.

After the game, Durant faced the camera with a serious face. Although he had just defeated the most prestigious team in the league, Durant still had no expression of excitement on his face, "Everyone is saying that we are too young, our era has not arrived yet, we are not ready yet... But I must say, I think it's time! No matter who my next opponent is, we will continue to fight to the end!"

Seeing this, Link turned off the TV. This was a game video three days ago. At that time, the Grizzlies had not eliminated the Spurs yet, so Durant's words did not point to Link clearly.

But now, the Grizzlies have eliminated the Spurs 4-2. Therefore, Durant's words "We will continue to fight to the end" have undoubtedly become Durant's gift to Link.

Perhaps from the beginning, Durant's words were actually what Link said. Link believes that the black-bellied Du must have not forgotten the loss in the playoffs last year. Since then, Durant has been eager to defeat the Grizzlies and Link in the series.

This is not difficult to see from the fierce battles between the two sides in the regular season. As long as there is a Link game, Durant will not be ruthless!

When he thinks of Durant's serious expression on the screen, Link feels extremely stressed. Durant is now the scoring champion for three consecutive years! He is the best team selected for two consecutive years! He has left his childhood and has begun to mature.

Dealing with such an opponent is not as simple as dealing with a young Leonard.

Durant will definitely do his best to avenge his previous shame. And most importantly, Durant has many helpers around him.

Harden, the sixth man of the season, played like a superstar performance in the playoffs. He averaged only 10 shots in the Western Conference semi-finals and scored 16 points.

Westbrook, he has long been famous. As long as he doesn't explode in place, he is a good player.

Sergi Ibaka, an all-around fourth position who can attack and defend well. In terms of footstep movement, he has a huge advantage over Randolph!

Of course, Kendrick Perkins cannot be left out. Although Perkins is not very impressive from the data, his role on the defensive end is something that cannot be reflected by the data.

Even the paranoid Kobe and his Lakers were killed, which shows how powerful the Thunder are this season.

The Grizzlies are actually already completing the scheduled task for the Grizzlies to reach the Western Conference Finals this year. But the Western Conference Championship trophy is in front of them, so who doesn’t want to fight for it?

Just win four games and you can hold the trophy over your head. Regardless, Link will try it.

It is not scary to be strong when your opponent is strong. What is scary is that you are afraid of your opponent being strong.

The Grizzlies defeated the Spurs 4-2, which shocked many media. After all, the Spurs have always been a top-notch team in people's minds. Even if they lose, they should lose to their close opponents.

But no one expected that the Memphis Grizzlies, who had never played in the playoffs several times in team history, would be a team led by a undraft.

In the Western Conference Finals, it was the second consecutive year without Kobe and Duncan. This is the first time since 1998 that there were no Kobe and Duncan in the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive years. This undoubtedly indicates that a new era has arrived.

Kobe and Duncan's rule over the league has come to an end.

The showdown between the Grizzlies and the Thunder, Link and Durant has also been hotly hyped recently. After all, this is the second consecutive year between two young forwards.

This year, Link and Durant have become more mature, and Link has changed the most. Not only has he made significant progress in data, but his team's positioning has also changed from the second and third offensive points to the team's core.

This time, it is the real Link's team vs. Durant's team.

Although both teams performed very well this year, almost everyone agreed in the preview of the Western Conference Finals that the Thunder should advance. After all, judging from the paper lineup and on-field performance, the Thunder are much better than the Grizzlies.

The first is the comparison between Link and Durant. Last season, Link defended Durant's shooting percentage plummeted and became famous in one game. But this year, no one can limit Durant like this has appeared.

Durant has always been the scoring champion for three consecutive times, and this year it is second only to James in the MVP selection. Moreover, the gap in the number of votes between Durant and James is not big!

In this year's MVP selection, James scored 1,074 points, while Durant, the second-ranked one, had 889 points! You know, Paul, the third-ranked one, scored only 385 points! Therefore, Durant can already be called an athlete at the MVP level!

And what about Link? This year he only won the fastest-progress player. Although this is also an honor, the value is indeed not as good as MVP and scoring champion. In the words of Kenny Smith, "both are excellent, but it must be admitted that Link is still one level shorter than KD."

Therefore, most people believe that the Thunder can solve the Grizzlies in six games. Moreover, the process can be relatively easy.

But this conclusion was strongly opposed by the Oklahoma media.

"Our record of matchup with the Grizzlies in the regular season is 3 wins and 1 loss. I think nothing will change in the playoffs. The Thunder will let the Grizzlies win at most one game, and I can guarantee that this is the worst case." Local media in Oklahoma City posted their opinion on Twitter. They believed that the t.nt prediction 4-2 is not accurate enough, and the Thunder will not let the Grizzlies reach the sixth game at all.

Westbrook read the news and enjoyed it. It seemed that the Thunder had booked a seat in the finals anyway.

"Kevin, how many games do you think we can reach the finals this year?" Westbrook spoke to Durant beside him while browsing the news.

Durant didn't have much expression, he was wearing sneakers. So he coldly replied with an answer that surprised Westbrook, "Four games!"

After hearing this answer, Westbrook was stunned for a moment. Listen, is this a man said? At first, t.nt said 4 to 2, but later the Oklahoma media said that 4 to 1 can kill the Grizzlies. Now it's better, Durant directly wants to advance 4 to 0!

Sure enough, black-hearted!

After Durant finished speaking, he jumped around on the spot for a few times, and then stepped into the training ground the first. His eyes were so focused and so cold. He was like a god of death carrying a sickle!
