Chapter 165 The Second Round of the Series Ends
A few days later, the Kings played against the Thunder at home.

The third game is not to be missed for the Thunder. If the Thunder loses this game, the score of their series with the Kings will become 0:3.

In that case, their efforts this year will be in vain.

For the Kings, the two games at home are also an opportunity for them to sweep the league's No. [-] Thunder team.

As long as they beat the Thunder, the Kings will enter the Western Conference Finals.

Then defeat the opponent in the next round, and the Kings will be able to enter the finals.

In the third game, the Thunder team could be said to have survived. If they lost again, the Thunder team would lose the qualification to compete for the championship.

This has to be said to be a major blow to the Thunder team, which is determined to win the championship.

The third game officially started on May 5.

The starting lineup of both sides is still the starting lineup of the second game.

For the Thunder, they only narrowly lost the second game, and that game is not without chance!
So Brooks still insists on the strategy of the second game.

However, after seeing the Thunder's starting lineup, Jiang Yan felt that as long as the Kings performed well in today's game, they still had a good chance.

After all, the Thunder played very well in the second game, and they tried their best.

What Jiang Yan didn't know was that the Thunder's Durant's knee was aching now, but because this round of the series had reached such a critical moment, even if there was another injury, Durant didn't want to retreat.

At the beginning of the game, the Kings fans tried their best to cheer for the Kings, but they ignored the Thunder.

It's not yet time to boo the Thunder, after all, the Kings are leading now!
As a fan, this atmosphere is still there.

For the jump ball, the Thunder still won. This is a talent, and there is no way to change it.

The Thunder's offensive tactics have not changed at all from the previous two games, but their defensive focus has changed.

Brooks put the Thunder's defensive focus on the other four players of the Kings, intending to divide the connection between Jiang Yan and his teammates.

As soon as the Kings attacked, Jiang Yan discovered that the Thunder's defense against him was much looser than in the previous three games!
Instead, he became closer to his teammates and prevented the rest of the Kings from catching Jiang Yan's ball.

Jiang Yan shook her head secretly. Since she knew she had the ability to score 40 points, she still dared to let her attack. I have to say that the head coach of the Thunder, Brooks, is really out of his mind.

Jiang Yan no longer thinks about passing the ball in the next game. Since your Thunder team wants me to attack, then it is okay for me to become 'Jordan' again in this game!

Thinking about it this way, Jiang Yan skillfully made a three-pointer after finishing the pick-and-roll, and went into the basket hollowly!

.........

When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the score on the field was fixed at 112:102.

By convention, the home team is at the front and the visiting team is at the back.

In this game, when Jiang Yan put all her energy on the offensive end, the other players of the Kings put their attention on defense.

This directly raised the Kings' defensive strength to a higher level.

Originally, the Kings' defense was only No. 30 among the 8 teams in the league in terms of efficiency.

In today's game, the Kings' defense was complete, and the Thunder's double kings lost themselves.

But today the Thunder's Ibaka is super god, actually scored 36 points and 15 rebounds.

This is entirely the data played by the superstar's insiders.

However, Durant's offense was under the defense of the Kings. He only made 23 of 20 shots and scored 18 points, while Westbrook only made 6 of 15 shots and scored [-] points.

The numbers of these two do not show the strength of their superstars at all.

And once the Thunder team lost this game, the record of the two teams became 3:0.

The Thunder have come to the brink.

Even though the Thunder have the league's first record, they are now pushed to the brink of elimination by the Kings.

The entire league is up and down, full of disappointment with Durant and Westbrook.

As mentioned earlier, racial discrimination is hidden throughout the United States. White people discriminate against black people, and black people discriminate against other people of color.

There are many people who think that Jiang Yan is not worthy of the name, and until now, there are still many Americans who hope that the Thunder will come back and win four games in a row!

Even at the beginning, these people hoped that the Rockets would sweep the Kings directly and let Jiang Yan go home and go fishing.

It is a pity that the facts are often contrary to expectations. Jiang Yan and the others just defeated the Rockets with Howard, and now they are about to defeat the Thunder with Durant and Westbrook.

As the saying goes, the beginning of love, the end of hate!

Now these people simply hate the Thunder's performance in the three games!
I can't wait to play by myself!
In the next few days, the Thunder spent a lot of scolding.

Durant and the others tactfully did not come out to talk to these media experts. They have only been training quietly in Sacramento these days and have not seen anyone at all.

On May 5, Game 21 of the series between the Thunder and the Kings began.

In this game, the Thunder started to play well in the first half, fighting fiercely with Jiang Yan, and the scores of the two teams were evenly matched.

But in the second half, the players of the Kings suddenly stepped up their defense and set off a frenzy of attacks directly under the leadership of Jiang Yan!
A wave of 16:0 attack frenzy was played directly, and the score was stretched to fifteen points in an instant.

This wave of attack frenzy is exactly the result of the Kings' five death squads.

This caused the fans at home to shout wildly, and many fans' throats were hoarse due to shouting too intensely.

Jiang Yan came off the field panting. After a wave of offensive frenzy just now, the point difference opened up, and Brooks finally called a timeout belatedly.

But this one is so 'unprofessional' in the eyes of all experts!
Larry Brown stood in front of the Kings with a solemn expression: "Although we are leading now, the game is not over yet, so everyone concentrate and don't relax!"

Everyone in the Kings nodded, and then went on the court at the urging of the referee.

Sure enough, as Larry Brown expected, the Thunder intended to set off wave after wave of counterattacks, but the Kings defended tenaciously.

Until the end of the game, the point difference between the two teams was still controlled at about five points. In the end, Durant and Westbrook still failed to make a comeback.

After the game, when the players from both sides hugged and greeted, Westbrook and Durant hugged Jiang Yan full of unwillingness.

But the tone was full of admiration.

After all, Jiang Yan single-core led the team to this day, and stepped on their corpses.

Jiang Yan comforted them, not to ridicule, but to really comfort, he also understands the feeling of losing.

During the interview after the game, Jiang Yan still praised the strength of the Thunder, and said that the Kings' victory was all due to luck!
