After the game, Thunder's home court fell into a sea of carnival, and Fanss enjoyed the joy of victory wantonly.
Looking back at the beginning of the season, who would have thought that within a few years, Thunder would be demolished, leaving only one Westbrook. After such a devastating start, the team could actually come from behind, fight all the way to Western Conference Semifinals, and defeat Spurs 3-1! This is simply a cool article!
The team was not stingy and provided each Fans present with a Doritos taco, which is also the so-called LeBron trap - Ta Buckle.

"Who can stop Golden State Warriors!!! Playoffs has swept all the two series so far!!!"
Cleveland Cavaliers, led by Eastern Conference, LeBron·James, also easily swept Raptors and once again won Eastern Conference Finals tickets.
But their imaginary enemy, Boston Celtics, was unexpectedly dragged down to 2 to 2 by Wizards, and they will start their King Mountain Battle on May 10th.
Cavaliers can just sit back and wait for the two teams to decide the winner, and there will be a lot of rest time in between.
Playoffs As time goes by, the situation becomes clearer and clearer. The media hypes the preview of the Warriors war, completely ignoring the possibility of Celtics and Thunder.
Wizards: "So?"
On May 10, Thunder, which returned to San Antonio, encountered strong and powerful resistance.
Spurs players fought against the odds and burst out with super energy.
At the beginning, under the organization of Tony Parker, Kawhi and Danny Green successively Pick-and-Roll, naming Chen Xi.
Facing Kawhi's attack, Chen Xi is really powerless. This big brother has a wingspan of 2.01 meters and 2.21 meters, so he can't defend at all. Contact is also outstanding, and he also has a pair of super big palms that are just as good as God's. The mid-range shot when he turns over is like picking something out of a bag. Touch is completely unable to defend when he is online.
After being hit by two goals, Thunder changed his strategy. Instead of changing defense, Butler defended Shen and retreated, Chen Xi Chase Defense Huang Ama.
But this resulted in Kawhi's timely distribution of the ball, and Danny Green was able to get a relatively good offensive space. In addition, Tielin's Touch was also pretty good today. He made 4 of 6 shots in a single quarter, which made Thunder's defense exhausted.
Even after Touch declined in the second quarter, Aldridge broke out again, continuously attacking Grant at low positions, focusing on the weakness of Thunder Transition Period and Interior.
At halftime, Thunder 46 trailed Spurs by 9 points 55.
Midfielder Timeout, Thunder locker room.
"I think we need to improve our focus, improve efficiency, and adjust our mentality! We are only one game away from entering Western Conference Finals! Do you still want to waste one more game in a place like this?! Golden State Warriors is already waiting for us!" Donovan started the chicken soup session.
"Russell! Show your leadership style! Take your responsibility! This is your team!"
"Of course! Coach! I won't let victory slip away in vain!!" Westbrook cooperated with Donovan's encouragement and encouraged the team atmosphere.
"Kill Spurs! Enter Western Conference Finals! Today!! I don't want to fight the next game!!!" Chen Xi also said cruel words at the right time.
Everyone gathered in a circle and put their fists together.
"Let's go OKC!!!!"
Soon after, Second Half started.
The completely different Thunder appears in the public eye.
Bench lineup, led by Butler and Chen Xi, gave Spurs a head-on blow at the beginning.

Subsequently, Possession and McDermott defended Mills. Seeing that the latter succeeded in breaking through, he wanted Layup, so he directly pulled him down.

The blue ball circled around the mine twice, and finally fell into the bag honestly.
Popovich frowned, keenly feeling the changes in Thunder. The sudden outburst of the role players made him feel a hint of danger.
Without much hesitation, he immediately called Kawhi and told him to go to the technical table and wait for the dead ball to come on.
It's a life and death situation. Now is not the time to worry about rotation time or physical fitness. If you don't win this game, go home. There is plenty of time to rest while fishing.
On the court, Spurs's attack once again ended with Mills's Three-Pointer Brick.
In the slot of Teammates, Chen Xi takes Rebound, passes it to Butler, and then immediately plays Fast Break.
