Chapter 367 The Western Finals! ! !

The atmosphere of the Grizzlies is very good. Every game played by the team in the second round of the playoffs is an unprecedented experience for the fans here.

In this game, the Thunder still did not change their formation.Coach Brooks doesn't like to move the starting lineup, but likes to make a fuss about the rotation.

Of course, the Grizzlies will not move to the starting lineup. Their starting lineup has a high winning rate in the playoffs, and they won the last game. Naturally, they will not move the starting lineup easily.

The FedEx Arena has already made preparations for the team to advance to the Western Conference Finals. According to the data given by ESPN before the game, the probability of the Grizzlies advancing is as high as 79.7%.Of course, the fans don't know how this probability is calculated, but the data given by predators like ESPN are more reliable than those who know the ball.Moreover, everyone is very happy to believe in the authenticity of this data.

In the pre-match practice stage, the Thunder players' faces were very serious.For them, they are still quite dissatisfied with their performance after the series has reached this level.The Grizzlies are just a No. 8 team, not a team at the level of the Lakers or Spurs.

But things have come to this point, there is no other way to go except for the bloody battle to drag into the tiebreaker.

After the start of the game, the two teams are still playing what they are good at.The Thunder still rely mainly on individual offense, driving teammates who focus on finishing to form a linkage; the Grizzlies are based on the strategy of internal black bear attack, white bear support + strong attack, and outside attack.

On the defensive end, both teams were unambiguous, completely upper body, and played quite explosively.

In the first quarter, the two teams played evenly, and no one could do anything to the other.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Harden led the team to a small climax, helping the Thunder to open up some points.

But Xie Kai played early and led the team to a small climax, bringing the score back to the same starting line.

After the main players of both sides returned, the game continued to be deadlocked.

At the end of the half, the two sides tied at 49.

But in the third quarter, the situation changed suddenly, and the Thunder's offense suddenly lost power.The Grizzlies took the opportunity to play a small climax and took the lead.

Then the Thunder began to chase points, but because they were too impatient, they made more mistakes.

In the final quarter of the game, the Thunder had no hope of chasing points, and finally their mentality collapsed and they lost the game.

The ribbons were flying on the scene, and many of these young people in the Thunder team couldn't help crying.A man bleeds and doesn't shed tears, but he hasn't reached the point of sadness!

A season of hard work has finally come to an end here. The cruelty of the NBA playoffs can be seen.

Xie Kai found Westbrook who was crying, and the two men hugged each other on the sidelines.

The media reporters immediately took the photographer to shoot and record this moment.

The two whispered a bit, and finally exchanged jerseys.

No matter how good their relationship is, they are still rivals on the court because of their different positions.

Westbrook's tears dilute Xie Kai's joy of winning. He knows that he will not only fight for himself and the team in the finals, but also shoulder Westbrook's share.

The applause at the FedEx Arena lasted for a long time. This was a historic moment for this team.The Grizzlies this season have brought too many surprises and shocks to the fans. The black eight, the second round for the first time, and the Western Conference finals. If this was in the offseason last year, no one would have believed that the home team could accomplish so many seemingly difficult things. Target.

Home team locker room.Grizzlies players, coaches and staff all embraced each other and celebrated wildly.For them, many of them entered the Western Conference Finals for the first time, and the excitement is really hard for players who have won multiple championships.

Arthur was also very excited, and he drank a large can of coffee: "Kane, I really didn't expect that in the third year of my career, I would enter the Western Conference Finals!"

Xie Kai was also very happy: "Yeah, I played in Sacramento for two seasons before, and I didn't even reach the playoffs. I didn't expect that this season not only made my dream of the playoffs come true, but also played in one breath. Into the Western Conference Finals."

"Kane, do you think we can beat Dallas?" Arthur asked with a smile.

Xie Kai nodded: "Of course we can. Although they have a better record than us in the regular season, which of the two teams we beat has a worse record than us?"

"The finals, is it really coming?" Arthur looked intoxicated.

Xie Kai walked out of the arena, hugged his parents, and planned to eat something to celebrate.He felt a little uncomfortable when Westbrook was eliminated, but this is competitive sports. Both he and Westbrook are professional players and both know this.If there is water on the court because of the personal relationship between the two, he feels that it is an insult to the word "professional".

"Akai, that's quiet, why didn't she come?" In Xie Kai's apartment, a family of three were eating, Chen Guixiang asked abruptly.

Xie opened a mouthful of rice and almost spit it out. Lianbai covered his mouth with his hand, thought quickly in his mind, and then replied calmly: "She has classes in school, so she can't come. Always put your studies first, yes Mom?" Of course he couldn't say that Zhou Jing was afraid that his mother would ask questions, so she used the reason that studies were the most important, which made it difficult for her mother to refute.

"Oh, that's it..." Chen Guixiang quickly changed the topic, "Then let her come to our house as a guest during the summer vacation. I still have a lot to say to her!"

Xie Kai almost vomited blood, is this my girlfriend or your girlfriend!How come it looks like an interview, round after round.

"Let's see, maybe she was busy at that time." Xie Kai turned the matter over in a daze.

Because of his outstanding performance in the Western Conference semifinals, Xie Kai has been rated by the media as a future superstar at the same level as Durant Westbrook.His performance in the semifinals even surpassed Durant, a young superstar who is expected to compete with James for the league's first small forward.

All of a sudden, no matter whether it was the media or the fans, even those picky and demanding NBA stars came out to give him a platform, praising him for his outstanding skills, being Yao Ming's successor, and so on.

Fortunately, Xie Kai is not a flamboyant person. He knows that he is indeed capable of doing things that others cannot do, but there are still many technical defects, and his body has not been trained to that level. Praise is not really regarded as the norm.

The semifinals of this season are all over, and the next step is the conference finals.In the East, the Bulls, the No. 2 in the regular season, killed the Eagles, and the Heat, who ranked No. 8, defeated the Celtics. The two teams successfully joined forces in the Eastern Conference Finals. The new MVP Rose fought against the Big Three, which is exciting; The Bears continued to triumph, killing the Thunder with the third team, the third-ranked Mavericks defeated the second-ranked Lakers, and the two teams will play in the Western Conference Finals.

The Mavericks are the oldest team in the league on average, while the Grizzlies are the third youngest.This season's Western Conference Finals is a contest between old and new forces.
