Chapter 598: That's what you're talking about...
Durant still remembers Lian Dao's reply on Twitter, "Scarlett uses a shower for bathing".
Of course he knew that it was impossible for Lian Dao to have a relationship with Scarlett.
But for Lian Dao's behavior of blaspheming his goddess, Durant secretly hated him.
Lian Dao didn't care too much about Durant's impolite behavior.
Moreover, Lian Dao greeted Harden out of sincerity, greeted Westbrook out of politeness, and greeted Durant purely to disgust him.
Afterwards, Lian Dao devoted himself to warming up.
Under the defense of Tony Allen and Jimmy Butler, Lian Dao made three-pointers and mid-range shots one after another, as well as post-up singles.
Basically all of them were hits. So far, Lian Dao's game state is still quite good.
With the influx of all the fans, the atmosphere at the scene became restless.
Finally, 10 minutes before the start of the game, the Madison Garden Arena was completely wrapped in the atmosphere of the finals.
"This is the second consecutive year that the Knicks have reached the finals. Throughout the past 20 years, except for the Bulls, Rockets and Lakers, no team has achieved two consecutive championships!"
"And the Knicks are also the most likely to become the fourth team to win the championship for two consecutive years in the past 20 years."
"However, it's not so easy for them to win two consecutive championships. Thunderstorms swept the league. Like the Knicks, they are representatives of the Young Guards!"
"Also, the styles of the two teams are very similar."
"This final will be a duel between two small-ball tactical executors."
"In this link, is the experienced D'Antoni old and cunning, or is the young coach Scott Brooks wiser?"
"This will be a showdown between handsome and handsome, will fight against generals!"
"The duel between the two strongest teams in the league. I believe that today's game will be very exciting!"
The shouts of the fans coupled with the voices of the commentators instantly filled the tense atmosphere of the game.
After Lian Dao stepped into the court, the excitement and excitement that he hadn't seen for a long time appeared in his heart.
He felt that he was like a spring now, no matter how hard he was oppressed a few days ago, he would bounce back no matter how high he was now.
[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the source-changing app that the old version of chasing insects is using, huanyuanapp.】
…
Before the game started, fans all over the world who didn't want to see the Knicks win the championship were waiting to see Lian Dao's jokes.
Everyone believes that facing Kevin Durant, Lian Dao, who has not seriously prepared for the game, will definitely suffer a big loss.
At this time, apart from fans in China and New York, there are several players who are optimistic about Lian Dao.
Kobe, Paul George, LeBron James…
Kobe understood Lian Dao's character, he did not believe that Lian Dao would be a player who wanted to enjoy himself, otherwise he would not be able to break his record of 81 points in a single game, let alone get all the way to the finals.
As for Paul George, he has played against Durant and Lian Dao.
Although Durant is very strong, it does not give him a feeling of fear.
But in the process of fighting against Lian Dao, what George brought to George was a kind of nightmare that he couldn't get rid of.
As for James, it's very simple, Lao Zhan believes that the only one who can beat him is the championship!
The referee stepped into the middle circle and signaled the players on both sides to get ready.
Lian Dao looked at the starting lineup of the Thunder, and there was no change from before.
It is still the previous starting five: Westbrook, Sabo Sefolosha, Kevin Durant, Yin Baka, Perkins!
Harden still played as the team's sixth man.
The purpose is very clear. First of all, Harden can guarantee the fire support of the team's rotation and connection stage.
At the same time, the mention of starting in the fourth quarter can also improve the Thunder's lack of firepower in the fourth quarter.
On the Knicks side, it is still the previous starting lineup.
Jrue Holiday, Danny Green, Lian Dao, Millsap, Cousins.
Whether it is the Eastern Conference semifinals or the Eastern Conference finals, this lineup has already verified his feasibility.
In particular, delegating Stoudemire to the bench has weakened the shortcomings of Stoudemire's poor defense and fully utilized his advantages on the offensive end.
When it comes to the finals, as long as there are no injuries in the lineup, there will be no major changes.
Moreover, the real focus of this round of finals is also the key to determining the victory of this round of finals and will not change.
Lian Dao and Durant!
These two are the protagonists of this round of the series. Whether it is the grievances on and off the court or the matchup at the 3rd position, these two are the most interesting.
At the same time, they also determine the true direction of these two teams.
It is the real key to the victory of the two teams. Whoever can open the door of victory first can embrace the championship.
The referee's whistle sounded, and the ball was officially kicked off!
Cousins took the lead in getting the ball from above Yin Baka's head by virtue of his bouncing advantage.
The 2011-12 season NbA finals officially started!
Lian Dao was full of desire to attack at the beginning of the game. After halftime, Lian Dao was ready to catch the ball from outside the three-point line.
Durant tried his best to keep up with Lian Dao, constantly turning sideways to block Lian Dao from receiving the ball.
As soon as he came up, Durant showed no reservations.
It can be said that he didn't even consider the issue of physical fitness, and he went straight up and went all out.
Durant's defensive strength is not weak.
Because Durant is so good on the offensive end, many people underestimated his defense.
Although he has not been selected to the best defensive team, but his defensive strength is definitely the league's first-class level.
Durant's defense is mainly in defense, that is, mobility.
His advantage lies in his height and long arms, which is not lost to any center forward.
But the movement speed, explosive power, and jumping height are higher than most strikers.
It is rare to see him appearing particularly oppressive in single defense, and more often it lies in the pk after giving up the space.
Lian Dao used his body to resist Durant, and then asked Holiday for the ball.
Holiday transferred the ball to Lian Dao, and then Lian Dao continued to use his strength to oppress Durant.
He backed up twice in a row. Although Durant still gritted his teeth and fought hard, his short body weight and poor lower body resistance were once again reflected.
On the defensive end, Lian Dao repeatedly retreated.
After another confrontation, Lian Dao turned around and retreated, connecting with a fadeaway jumper.
The distance between the two opened instantly.
"not good!"
Durant groaned inwardly, he felt like his body was about to fall apart just now when he was bullied by Lian Dao.
But there was no time to give him pain relief at this time.
Durant rushed forward and jumped up to interfere, covering Lian Dao's face with his hands, but he could only watch Lian Dao complete the shot in front of him.
"brush!"
0:2!
After Lian Dao entered the field, he opened fire!
Very tough individual singles, the fans immediately cheered everywhere.
"Kenny, is this what you said that there will be problems in the sickle state? You have seen the problems in the state, and can you still play like this?"
Barkley sneered at his old partner Kenny Smith, and it must have been Smith who taunted Barkley in the past.
Buckley didn't expect that he would have a day when the turned serfs would sing.
"Charles, why are you always so anxious? This is the first goal. To test a player's state, shouldn't we watch his full performance?"
Kenny Smith said somewhat embarrassingly, but there was not much confidence in his tone.
He has commented on too many games, and Lian Dao's state, he can't see it by chance.
But it is absolutely impossible for him to subdue Smith.
Not to mention that Smith can see it, even Durant can see it.
"This group of media is really just a picture of the opening. The process is all based on editing. Fortunately, I didn't believe this group of idiots!"
I was about to be crushed, tried my best and still couldn't stop the opponent from scoring, the media would say that there was a problem with Lian Dao's state!
If this is all a problem with the state, what will happen when there is no problem?
Durant secretly scolded the unscrupulous media in his heart.
With the first goal in the game, Lian Dao dealt a severe blow to Thunder's self-confidence.
Westbrook attacked with the ball.
Lian Dao followed Durant tightly, never giving him a good chance to catch the ball.
Seeing this, Westbrook used Yin Baka's pick-and-roll to break through with the ball, and he was not afraid of Millsap's defense at all.
After Westbrook accelerated past Millsap, he made a direct shot from mid-range.
The basketball left Westbrook's fingertips and flew towards the hoop.
However, when the basketball was on an upward trend, a big hand suddenly appeared, came out diagonally from behind, and slapped the basketball hard.
Westbrook widened his eyes and saw that it was Lian Dao again!
"Oh, what a wonderful supplementary defense, such a jumping height, it's really shocking!"
"Poor Russell, he must be ready to celebrate a goal."
"As everyone knows, what greeted him was unexpected disasters, one attack and one defense, Sickle's physical condition is simply not very good!"
