171. I think the Thunder are all unreasonable shots...
In the last quarter, "Zen Master" Jackson no longer cared about the players' playing time and directly took out his strongest lineup to chase points.
But Yang Fan used Curry and Jackson in this game separately because the two of them felt really hot in this game.
It is no exaggeration to say that even if Durant performed poorly in this game, as long as Curry and Jackson are present, it is enough to threaten the Lakers' defense.
For a shooter like Curry, the phone may be ranked behind, and the most important thing is probably the feel.
Once the touch becomes hot, it can be said that it can be used to shoot, but once the touch becomes cold, it can also be said that it can be used to shoot, which can be used to shoot.
As for the personal outbreak of "Martial Saint" Jackson, in Yang Fan's opinion, it is really normal, because this guy is very consistent with his style of playing.
If JR Smith is a nerve knife, then Stephen Jackson is a very comprehensive nerve knife.
Similarly, this is why "Martial Saint" Jackson clearly has super personal abilities, but is very unsuitable to act as the boss.
With the Thunder's three-pointer on the offensive end, after the end of the game, the Thunder, who played at home, beat the Lakers with 16 points, forcing the series to 2:0.
In the whole game, Curry and Jackson performed perfectly. At least when Durant felt poorly, the explosion of these two people was crucial.
Among them, Curry contributed 31 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists in 34 minutes of the game, and even made nine three-pointers in a single game outside the three-point line.
31 points in a single game also set a new playoff high in Stephen Curry's career, and nine three-pointers also broke Curry's single-game three-point record.
As for the "Martial Saint" Jackson's touch is also very hot today. Jackson scored a total of 37 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists throughout the game.
Even though Kobe is defending him in most of the game, once Jackson's touch becomes hot, the defensive players can basically be ignored.
In addition, Durant, as the star of the game, felt a little cold in this game.
He only made 5 of his 17 shots in the game, and only 1 of 6 shots outside the three-point line, and he only barely handed over a 14-point and 6 rebounds in free throws.
If it weren't for Curry and Stephen Jackson's touch, then the Thunder would probably be in trouble in this game.
…………
At the post-match press conference, when the reporter asked Zen Master the reason for the team's loss in this game, Jackson still maintained his style of forcing the king.
"I think the Thunder have had a lot of unreasonable shots in this game, and their shooting from outside the three-point line is really incredible."
"I really couldn't imagine any team that would take the position two meters away from the three-point line as a regular shot. It was really a bad game."
"The reason why the team lost is because the Thunder feels too hot, but I believe that a team cannot maintain this offensive efficiency all the time, so we will definitely rebound next."
Hearing Phil Jackson's answer, the reporter forced himself to not laugh out loud. "So Coach Phil, the outside world has been discussing the Thunder's offensive method, discussing whether a team can win the championship by relying solely on offense."
"Originally, more than 80% of fans didn't believe that the Thunder's offensive mode could reach the championship, but now many people have begun to support the Thunder. Do you have any personal opinion on this?"
Jackson clearly raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but he still replied with a stingy forehead. "I still think that offense can win, but only defense can win the championship."
…………………
"I think some people nowadays must look like jumping clowns. I really don't know why those guys holding their thighs talked wildly before the game."
"I hope that the loss of this game will make someone shut up and understand his status well, otherwise I don't mind teaching him a good lesson before retiring." At the post-Thunder press conference, O'Neal finally said proudly to the reporter.
After looking at O'Neal who was beginning to be proud of himself, the reporter continued to invade the war, "So Shaq, do you think if you return to the same age as him, can you beat him in one-on-one?"
"Of course! I think this question is like an idiot problem, and of course there is no doubt, because I can still beat him up now!" O'Neal replied with disdain.
Obviously, the Thunder's winning again undoubtedly made O'Neal feel good.
Especially for this opportunity to mock Bynum, O'Neal felt even more happy.
Even though O'Neal knew better than anyone else, these questions were that reporters wanted to lead the war, O'Neal would never miss this opportunity to mock Bynum.
Because O'Neal could sit down with Kobe and reconcile, but there was no room for O'Neal and Bynum.
At least in O'Neal's opinion, Bynum is not worthy of standing in the same position as him and speaking.
Therefore, every time Bynum's ridicule in public makes O'Neal angry, it feels like he was bitten by a dog when he went out.

May 20.
The Thunder and the Lakers ushered in the third match of the Western Conference Finals at Staples Arena.
From the moment he entered the Staples Stadium, Yang Fan felt a different atmosphere.
Especially when the players entered the court, when Yang Fan looked up at the dozen championship flags hanging high above the stadium, coupled with the cheers from the entire home fans, this undoubtedly shocked Yang Fan.
Although Yang Fan does not like these so-called wealthy families, as the saying goes, there are all kinds of birds when the forest is big, it is not a good thing for a coach to coach a legendary team.
Because this team has had a very glorious history, even if it leads this team to win the championship again, it will not be a representative figure in the city, and it may not necessarily make fans satisfied with you.
But it has to be said that the top giants like the Lakers who are in Los Angeles have indeed set off the atmosphere at home, and the number of fans has reached an amazing level.
Even though Yang Fan doesn't want to admit it, compared to comparison, Oklahoma is really incomparable to Los Angeles.
Whether it is the fan base or the fan madness, Russia is at a disadvantage.
Fortunately, as the Thunder have performed better and better in the past two seasons, the cohesion of the entire Russian City fans has reached a peak.
At least Yang Fan was very satisfied with the atmosphere of this team, enjoyed the cheers of this city, and also got along very well with the management.
Therefore, although Yang Fan yearns for the city of Los Angeles, he never envies.
