On the Nuggets, when JR Smith was entangled by the Thunder in a nearly rogue way, other players were unable to open up the situation on the offensive end, which made the old coach George Carl become a little impatient on the sidelines.

Finally, not long after Yang Fan had just suspended it, George Carl had to call out a suspension helplessly.

And after this timeout, both sides gradually brought the main players to the court and prepared to hold the final decisive battle in the fourth quarter.

In this process, Yang Fan insisted on letting the "Martial Saint" Jackson and Durant cooperate and continued to press Westbrook on the bench.

After all, it should be said or not. At the last moment of the game, especially in the playoff stage, Yang Fan really has no trust in Westbrook.

Not to mention that Westbrook was just a slightly immature rookie during this period. Even when he reached his peak, it would be difficult for Yang Fan to have too much trust in him...

As we all know, Westbrook is completely two people in the first 45 minutes and the last three minutes. Yes, that's right! It's two people...

With the return of the main players of both sides, the offensive rhythm of the Thunder and the Nuggets completely declined.

Because when the time on the field is getting less and less, the players on both sides will suffer tremendous psychological pressure every time they make a move.

In this case, if we hadn't had a great shooting opportunity, we would have become more cautious, even Jamison, who has many years of playoff experience.

Time passed by minute by minute, and with 2 minutes and 46 seconds left before the end of the game, Anthony hit a three-pointer at the 45-degree angle on the right.

This goal also allowed the Nuggets to narrow the gap on the field to 3 points again.

And at the same time, the atmosphere of the entire Pepsi Center Arena was even more mobilized, and all the fans stood up and cheered loudly.

Especially in the Thunder's offensive round, Nuggets fans will interfere with their heart-wrenching calls, and this situation will inevitably cause huge psychological pressure on young people.

Seeing this situation on the field, Yang Fan called out a timeout without hesitation, even though Yang Fan only had the last two timeouts left in his hand.

But at this stage, although the Thunder still holds a three-point lead, if the team cannot adjust its mentality in the future, the game will become more and more difficult. After all, this is the home court of the Nuggets.

"Guys, now there are only more than two minutes left in the game. We still have a three-point lead. Think about it carefully, how much hardship we have paid in this game."

"And the victory is in front of us at this moment. As long as we survive this last period, we will be able to win this series first away."

"In the next offensive round, we strive to use up every offensive time until 24 seconds."

"Stephen, you have excellent playoff experience, and I know you are also a big heart player, so you are in control of the last minute."

"Remember, don't make mistakes. Even if we don't shoot, don't make mistakes, because every mistake is likely to be converted into a score by the opponent."

"Remember, don't make mistakes in the final stage, especially when serving..."

"Kevin, when you go back, you play a role without the ball. I will let everyone pull it away when necessary, and then you will do some personal singles."

"Don't be nervous, because we are the leading side at the moment. If we need to be nervous, the opposite side will remember the guys and try to seize every offensive opportunity."

"Come on, guys, let's work together to defend the victory of this game, 1.2.3, mustwin!!"

As Yang Fan stretched out his right hand, the other players also stacked their hands on Yang Fan's hand, and then cheered each other together in the end.

After returning from the timeout, although Yang Fan was a little nervous off the court, all he could do was pray that the players could withstand the last wave of pressure.

As the Thunder team attacked, as time went on the court was getting less and less, players on both sides became more and more cautious, and even Billups, who had won the MVP of the Finals, became more cautious.

Facing Billups' defense, Jackson tried his best to delay the time and, according to Yang Fan's instructions, strive to keep every offensive round away at 20 seconds.

Just when the offensive time was almost gone, Ibaka pulled to the outside to make a pick-and-roll for Jackson.

Using this pick-and-roll, Jackson's entire center of gravity fell, pretending to start a breakthrough from the right side.

However, when Billups' center of gravity had begun to shift to the right, Jackson suddenly pulled the center of gravity back and then retreated to outside the three-point line with a retreat step.

With a perfect shooting opportunity in front of him, Jackson took off his sword and made a shooting outside the three-point line without hesitation!!

When Jackson shot this ball, the entire Pepsi Center Arena seemed to have fallen into a silent state in an instant.

Everyone held their breath and quietly watched the arc of the ball drew in the air. Even Billups turned around and watched the ball fly towards the basket.

"Bang! Bang! Swish~"

As the ball hit the basket's neck, when Yang Fan thought the ball would hit the iron, the ball that bounced twice on the basket's neck finally entered the ball net.

And just after this goal hit, the Thunder's bench couldn't help but jump up immediately.

Especially Avraro, he was jumping off the court at this moment. Those who didn't know thought that the ball was from his work.

And at the same time, when Jackson made a bold move back three-pointer, even head coach Yang Fan stood up immediately, raised his right hand high, as if worshiping Jackson on the field.

On the court, Jackson, who hit this goal, also shouted excitedly when returning to defense, and even couldn't help but show off his muscles in the audience.

"Beautiful Stephen!!"

"God!!"

When they were returning to defense, the others could not help but give praise when they passed by Jackson, because this ball was too important to the Thunder.

It can be said that while preventing the Nuggets from taking the opportunity to take the lead, it also laid the Thunder's leading advantage on the field.

In the following offensive rounds, the Nuggets missed shots continuously. When the time on the court was getting less and less, the score difference on the court showed no sign of narrowing.

This situation obviously made many fans, even Nuggets head coach George Carl, become a little anxious.

Because with less time on the court, the smaller the chances of winning the Nuggets will be, but the Nuggets missed shots in the last moment.

Even the Thunder faced a strait in the next offensive round.

However, in the first 36 seconds of the final game, Jackson, who broke through to the inside and encountered a double-team, transferred the ball to the perimeter, and Durant, who received the pass, made a direct move one meter outside the three-point line.

Finally, under everyone's attention, Durant's shot one meter away from the three-point line entered the basket steadily. While increasing the score on the court to 9 points, he completely killed the game!!

As the Nuggets failed to hit the next offensive round, the Thunder team who played away from home finally ended after the game was over:

98:89

He defeated the Denver Nuggets with a 9-point advantage. While winning the team's first playoff victory after changing its name, he also rewrites the total score of this round of series to 1:0!!

Until the game was completely over, many Nuggets fans felt unbelievable. They held their heads with their hands, and their facial expressions were filled with great helplessness.

Obviously, until this time, they could not believe that the Thunder, ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference, would defeat the Nuggets in the first round of the playoffs between both sides.

The two three-pointers that "Martial Saint" Jackson and Durant made in the final stage of the game were lingering in the minds of the fans on the scene.

In this game, the Thunder can beat the Nuggets in an upset away game, and the team's biggest contributor must be the "Martial Saint" Jackson.

Facing Billups, who was selected for the best defensive team, Jackson was not ruthless in this game. Not only did he show his aura on the offensive end, but he also did not lose in terms of organization.

In the whole game, "Martial Saint" Jackson made a total of 38 minutes. He made 9 of 18 shots on the offensive end, including 3 of 8 from outside the three-point line and 4 of 6 free throws, scoring 25 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists in a very comprehensive manner.

It can be said that in this constipation battle with very good defensive strength, Jackson's data is definitely very valuable.

In the whole game, except for JR? Smith, the guy who drew from outer space, Jackson's performance was simply perfect.

In addition, Kevin Durant, who participated in the playoff competition for the first year, performed well in this game.

Although it cannot be compared with the regular season period, considering the defensive intensity given by both sides in this game.

Durant's data that he was able to contribute 21 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists in his first playoff game in his career is very rare.

At least the "little melon" Anthony, who played against Durant in this game, was not much better. Anthony scored 20 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists in the whole game.

Judging from personal data, there is not much difference between Durant and the two. Strictly speaking, the performance of these two people can be said to be half a dozen.

For others, Westbrook, who was also the first time in his career, was not so lucky.

In the whole game, due to personal technical shortcomings, Westbrook only played for 23 minutes in total. He made 3 of 8 shots on the offensive end, including 0 of 2 from outside the three-point line and 1 of 2 free throws, and finally contributed 7 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists.

There has definitely been a very significant decline compared to the regular season.

For the Nuggets, the Nuggets were able to be entangled with the Thunder in this game and even once took the lead. The biggest contributor was not Cameron Anthony.

If you have to say a name, then this person must be jr? Smith.

In this game, JR Smith was a little fucked, and even the degree of fucking made Yang Fan sweat.

Fortunately, at the last moment, Smith's touch was also facing a decline, otherwise the Thunder would have been beaten by JR alone.

After the game, Yang Fan hugged George Carl on the sidelines and both humbly blew each other.

Yang Fan knew very well that the Thunder could win this game, and Jackson's thrust into the Nuggets was caught off guard.

Although the Thunder beat the Nuggets by 9 points in this game, only Yang Fan knew in his heart how bumpy the process was.

Even if the Thunder were the first to win a game in this round of series, Yang Fan still dared not take it lightly for the next contest.

After all, the ability to win this game is not only because of the Thunder's own strength, but also luck also accounts for a large part.

At the post-match press conference, I saw that the small interview room was filled with all kinds of reporters.

Obviously, even the reporter did not expect that the Thunder would be able to defeat the Nuggets in this game, and this news undoubtedly has a lot of room for operation for the media.

Reporter: "Ju Shuai, we found that you sat on the sidelines and never ate oranges throughout the whole game, and this situation was the first time that you had happened to you this season."

"I wonder if you didn't eat oranges on the sidelines because you don't have much confidence in defeating the Nuggets?"

As Yang Fan just sat down, he heard the question asked by the reporter in front of him. When Yang Fan heard this question, he was obviously stunned.

Obviously, Yang Fan never expected that compared to the Thunder's sudden victory over the Nuggets in this game, the question this guy was most concerned about was why I didn't eat oranges?!!

"Coach Yang! Did you forget to bring oranges today?"

“………”
