Chapter 353 Heavy Pressure

At the moment when the red light of G6 came on, O'Neal sighed: "The Raptors who returned to the home court revived the demeanor of the King of the North, and the main force confronted each other. Siege the city and pull out the stronghold.

Russell can't push up the speed and can't consume the physical energy of the home team. The excellent personnel distribution of the Raptors ensures that every connecting segment has a strong scoring point on the court to ensure that the offense will not stagnate.

Lee's performance today is still efficient, he scored 32 points, but this is just a drop in the bucket. "

Barkley: "It can be said that the Thunder did nothing at the Scotiabank Arena today. They can only rely on Lee's scoring in the transition period to support them."

Miller, who has always been firmly optimistic about Li Haoyu, also realized that the Thunder had nothing to do: "I have to say that the Raptors are an excellent team, and everyone has fulfilled their due responsibilities.

After 6 games, the Raptors knew the Thunder well. They not only won the battle with the main lineup, but also weakened Lee's advantage in the transition period.

Seeing Li's decisive attempts to catch up with long-range shots in the end, I feel a little heartbroken. This young man has brought us too many surprises this season, but the reality is cruel.

When George was injured, the balance of victory was tilted like the Raptors. Lee did not compromise on this, and made adjustments time and time again, creating new troubles for the Raptors time and time again.

But today, he has run out of ammunition and food, and the strength of the lineup is absolutely flawed! "

Pierce: "Lee's sluggish performance this time? No! He scored a game-high 32 points!
But the Thunder still lost by a big score, which just shows a problem. His ability is no longer enough to lead the Thunder to win the game. The highlight of G5 is Li's last struggle! "

At the end of the finale, Li Haoyu stood on the court and looked up at the bright red score. In a 97-115, 18-point defeat, he did not go to the locker room, but stood quietly on the court, standing in front of the Scotiabank Arena. central.

He has tried his best today, but the Thunder has fallen too far behind, and this sense of powerlessness makes him feel oppressed.

Celebrities expressed their views on Twitter:

Rodman: [Although Lee is a tenacious player, this round of the series is over. This is a gap in hard power! 】

Pippen: [After 6 fierce battles, the remnant Thunder has run out of ammunition and food, and their last trump card, Lee's super-scoring transition, failed to restore the decline.

In the second game, George's injury was a fatal blow to the Thunder. Without his restraint, Kawhi defended Li strictly. In 4v4, Russell, who has shooting shortcomings, failed to win the game.

In the third game, the Thunder, who returned to Oklahoma City, made sufficient preparations. G2 has already reflected the poor offensive position of Russell, who has poor shooting. They completely centered on Lee, and at the same time prepared tactics to deal with Kawhi's defense , they won the game.

But in the fourth game, the Raptors discovered Lee's weakness from the root. Dribbling is his Achilles heel. In this game, the Raptors completely suppressed the Thunder. complete victory.

In G5, the Thunder gave up the overall disadvantaged main lineup and magnified the advantage of the Ghost Mamba in the transition period. In his time, he is a well-deserved king!

The fiery Ghost Mamba puts on a crazy show for us, but sadly, the horror is his last stand.

Today's game came to Toronto. The Raptors who returned to the home court have been adjusted to attack hard when the main lineup is at war, and at the same time maintain offensive continuity in the transition through reasonable personnel distribution.

Thunder's last hole card, the advantage of the connection stage of the Ghost Mamba no longer exists! 】

Even Kobe, who has always been optimistic about Li Haoyu, made a pessimistic analysis: [Facts have proved that a team with weaknesses in core players cannot make it to the end. After George was injured, the Thunder exposed Russell's shooting, Lee's dribbling, and These weaknesses were exploited by the Raptors.

In today's game, Lee was still able to score efficiently, but this was not enough to make up for the disadvantage of the main lineup. The Raptors also maintained a good offensive continuity in the transition period, and the Thunder's last hole card was also shredded by the northern team.

Young man, this is your first season, it is amazing enough, there is still a long way to go, the future is yours! 】

Phil Jackson: [Both Lee and Russell have their own weaknesses. They are the extremes of the two aspects. Russell has top-notch breakthrough ability, but his shooting limits him from playing to his strengths.

And Lee has the best off-the-ball running position in history, as well as the absolute top shooting. Unfortunately, his offense with the ball is limited by his weak dribbling ability, which limits his offensive methods. 】

Pat Riley: [Lee is an absolutely excellent player. Unfortunately, he has fatal shortcomings. This season belongs to the Raptors. 】

The Raptors tied the score at 3-3. Not only that, they completely limited the Thunder's final advantage in this game.

After 10 minutes of the game, the odds of the Raptors winning the championship had dropped from 1.6 to 1.22, and everyone realized that the Thunder had nothing to do.

The atmosphere in the Thunder locker room was oppressive. After a few games, everyone realized their own shortcomings. Adams' slow defensive steps, Grant's weak strength, Ferguson was rubbed on the ground by Leonard, as the core player of the team Westbrook was unable to break through the Raptors' defensive line.

To make matters worse, the Thunder's only advantage, the team's last hope, Li Haoyu, failed to bridge the gap.

Westbrook refused to attend the press conference, leaning on the seat, looking at the ceiling with red eyes. Although there is still a final battle, everyone is aware of the gap in the lineup, which is an irreparable flaw.

At this time, Li Haoyu came to the conference site alone. When he walked into the media room, all the reporters picked up their cameras and pressed the shutter.

The flashing lights made Li Haoyu extremely irritable. After sitting in the interview booth, he waited for the reporter's questions with a serious face.

"Mr. Li Haoyu, someone accused you of avoiding the main lineup of the Raptors. What do you think?"

"Next question."

"Mr. Li Haoyu, the Raptors lineup is dominant in all aspects, do you miss Paul George?"

"Next question."

In today's interview, Li Haoyu didn't want to answer any questions. He even wanted to refuse the interview like Westbrook. After Bayer's repeated pleas, he finally came to the media room and planned to end the interview with the following question from beginning to end.

until
Reporter: "Mr. Li Haoyu, hello, I'm Kelly, a reporter from TNT. You have scored 206 points in the finals, setting a new scoring record in the finals in the first grade. May I ask?"

Li Haoyu seemed to have noticed something, leaning forward on the seat, picked up the microphone and asked eagerly: "Wait, please repeat it from the beginning."

"You have scored 206 points in the finals, a record."

Before the reporter finished speaking, Li Haoyu got up and rushed out of the media room. He has extremely important matters now!
