Durant, Westbrook and Angel scored goals each, which made Phil Jackson, who had been through the battlefield, all frightened.                                                                                                               �

Although this game was played in Staples, the Thunder were more like the team playing at home. The booing of Lakers fans seemed to be their spiritual food. The bigger the booing, the more brave these guys were. In the first quarter, the defending champion Lakers were completely suppressed.

Kobe's shooting percentage was not ideal under the interference of Seversa. Although Bynum was full of enthusiasm, he did not have much way to score points when facing Anjie, who was in a hot state.

Fischer and Artest were forced to shoot from the outside, but the Thunder's tight defense made these two people at a loss. If Gasol's swing was not stable, the Lakers would have been beaten without any face!

In the second half of the quarter, even if the second team of both sides came on the court, the situation did not change at all. Van Gundy's actions not only affected the first five tigers, but the emotions of the substitutes were also mobilized. When the second minute of the game ended, Lakers fans could hardly believe their eyes.

Yi7 is 29, but unfortunately this is in Staples, with the home team in front and the away team in back!

"I don't know what happened to the Lakers, no, what happened to the Thunder! It's not an exaggeration to say that this is the best-in-form game in the Thunder series." Reggie Miller has never looked down on the Thunder, but the score difference was widened to double digits in the first quarter, which really surprised the former Pacers legend.

The qualities shown by the Thunder in the first quarter are perfect, including offense and defense conversion, tactical running, shooting percentage, shooting choices... The Thunder did the best things to do. The Lakers were obviously confused under such resistance, and Kobe's poor performance is a microcosm of the poor performance of the entire Lakers.

The Zen master's prayer God might not have heard, and in Staples, this bad thing was still born.

"Are you scared?? We are here to get the match points! Don't think that there are seven games to play in the series, you can give up the victory at will! The Suns have eliminated the Spurs with a 4-to-o score and are waiting for us in the Western Conference Finals! Dragging more games is to give the opponent more time to prepare! Don't forget our goal, our goal is the championship, not the Western Conference semi-finals!" The players who just got off the court during the holidays, the Zen master didn't talk about any tactics, but first understood the temper. The head coach should have a temper and his own personality, otherwise how could you control your own stars?

When Zen Master was popular, even Kobe could only lower his head and listen quietly. The Lakers' bench was silent and incompatible with the massive appearance ceremony before the game.

On the Thunder, Van Gundy has no time to waste his talk. Even though the Thunder played very well in the first quarter, he still saw a lot of problems. There are still three-point games to play, and he doesn't want to relax his vigilance against the Lakers because of a small victory in the first quarter. Maybe this group of young people from the Thunder will easily get carried away, but Van Gundy will never make such a mistake!

"Your players are really excellent, coach." In a huge office, two men in suits were staring at the TV. The TV was broadcasting the Lakers and the Thunder Western Conference Semi-Finals. Among them, a fat bald man spoke to another person.

"They are now coached by Jeff Van Gundy. Without Van Gundy, these two kids can't reach this point." When Ricard said this, he didn't know whether to be happy or lost.

"But if you didn't lay the foundation for them, Coach Van Gundy could not add bricks to it. Mr. Ricard, we have watched the Yi Festival, and we can't sit here to watch the game all night." The bald man said, taking out a few pieces of A4 papers written in his briefcase. There was no doubt that these things were contracts.

"We watched the game, and the purpose was to let you examine my level, be able to correctly analyze the situation on the field, and be able to give better suggestions. I didn't say anything in the second quarter, you are just sure I can do it?" Ricard looked at the contracts, and he didn't know whether he had made a good decision.

"I don't have to go deeper into anything. What you did in college is the best proof of your ability. To be honest, before you took over the Tornado and led the team to March Crazy, I didn't know that Iowa State University also had teams in the NCAA 1st-level league. It led a group of unknown players out of the siege. What else can prove yourself better than these?" The bald man seemed to value Ricard especially because he had sent people to observe the young coach for two and a half years!

"My daughter is less than a year old, and I don't want to be too far away from home. And you know, the pressure of working in nBa is much greater than that in nCaa, and I don't know if I can do it. Finally, and the most important point, I hope my position is head coach, not assistant coach. I don't want to do chores under others and be an assistant." Ricard's last words were the key to his hesitation.

"Mr. Ricard, many great NBa coaches start with assistant coaches. For example, the coach Jeff Van Gundy we see now was just a little assistant coach for the Knicks. To be honest, you have no experience in coaching professional basketball, and you have only been out of the high school league for only three years. It is too risky to directly take you as a head coach. Starting with an assistant coach will benefit you a lot and learn a lot. And I won't go to the assessment for an assistant coach for two and a half years. We signed a contract with you just to straighten you one day!" The bald man expressed his determination. Indeed, he will not waste his talk for an assistant coach. Instead of choosing a coach who doesn't understand, it's better to train one by one.

Ricard thought about it. If he really had the opportunity to be the head coach, he would be very moved...

"Bang!"

"Oh! Ann's powerful buckle!" Ricard's thoughts returned to TV until Kenny Smith exclaimed loudly.

"Let's watch the game first. Let me consider the contract matter." Ricard did not accept or refuse. This was not ncaa. When the Tornado team invited him, he almost didn't think about it. But this matter may change his life trajectory, which is indeed something worth thinking about.

Angel and Morris, who were fighting on the court, didn't know that their former mentors were discussing with the NBa team in the office. They have now entered a crazy state, and scoring and defense with all their might is the only thought in their minds.

After Gasol shined in the second quarter, he was immediately defended by Morris in a very embarrassing manner. For a guy like Damanniu, you must not anger him. Because this will only increase the chance of this guy's level swing.

In terms of hard power, Morris is not as good as Gasol, but the stubbornness of Damanniu made him a strong-willed defender.

He has no gorgeous skills and strong scoring ability. But he will do his best to grab every rebound, defend every match, and do any dirty and tiring tasks arranged by the coach. He is the patron saint around Anjie, although Anjie, a butcher, will eat very well without guards.

"Rodman, Dennis Rodman. I'm thinking about someone close to Morris. Now I think of it! Although Morris' off-court events are far inferior to the Big Bug, and his rebounding and defensive ability still need to be improved, in terms of playing style, this guy is really a bit similar to Rodman." Charles Barkley did not forget the guy who dominated the rebounding king of the league back then. Perhaps it would be difficult for Morris to achieve such an achievement under the illumination of Angel. But his defense and desperate attitude can completely make him the Rodman of the Thunder.

With Morris, Angel can focus more on offense. It is really hard to imagine what the Thunder will grow like in the future. Durant, Westbrook, Angel and Morris. When these guys all grow and take shape, can this league still prevent their team from existing?

The Lakers should be glad that they met the young Thunder. The Lakers were obviously awakened by the Zen master in the second quarter, but they did not get close to the score, but they just made the Thunder not widen the gap.

25-26, this is the single-quarter score of both sides in the second quarter. Durant's shooting involves the Lakers' defense, Westbrook's breakthrough tortures the Lakers' nerves, and Anger's steady play in the inside consolidates the Thunder's advantages.

The Lakers have actually adjusted, but they were too far away in the yi quarter. It is very difficult to catch up with the Thunder team, which is still in a hot state.

42 to 55, although the Lakers recovered, they were still 3 points away.

Staples Center is very quiet and unusually unscrupulous, but the arrogant Los Angeles rarely shut up during the game.

Phil Jackson didn't believe that the third young master could continue to be so good, but after halftime, the third young master of the Thunder did not stop at all.

He can no longer be passive. In the second half, the Lakers must take the initiative to get the advantage back!

The Lakers have met countless teams with great talent, but no one can stop them from winning the championship! The magic led by Howard last year is not good, and the Thunder, led by the Third Young Master this year, is not good either!

We can't treat this as the Western Conference semi-finals, because if we fail, it will be the last series of the Lakers this season!
