Chapter 242 Advancing to the Second Round

After the first game of the playoffs, some people were happy and some were sad.

The winning team wants to make persistent efforts to win the next game, while the losing team wants to find ways to come back.

The Warriors players were not dazzled by their first victory and were still training diligently to prepare for the next game.

Time passed quickly, and the second game between the Warriors and Thunder officially began.

The game was thrilling and the winner was not decided until the end.

With 20 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the Thunder were still 1 point behind the Warriors.

When the Thunder attacked, Durant used the cover of his teammates to quickly get rid of the defense, came to the mid-range area on the right, received Westbrook's pass, faced Sun Yi's defense, and shot a fadeaway jumper.

The basketball bounced on the rim and rolled into the net.

At this time, there were 8 seconds left before the end of the game. The score displayed on the big screen was 105 to 104, and the Warriors were 1 point behind.

Warriors head coach Nelson immediately requested a timeout and called the players back to the bench to arrange the final attack.

"Give the ball to Sun Yat-sen!" After Nelson finished speaking, he was gesturing on the tactical board, arranging how to coordinate the last attack.

The Warriors players nodded in understanding and got ready to play.

On the Thunder bench, head coach Brooks also raced against time to arrange tactics.

"The time has come to test our defense. If you don't want to go back with a score of 0-2, then go fight!"

After Brooks encouraged him, he immediately deployed defensive tactics.

It can be said that this offense and defense are very critical.

If the Thunder defend this attack, the total score will be equalized.

But if the Thunder lose a decisive victory, they will return to their home court with a score of 0-2, and the situation will be very unfavorable for them.

Therefore, this last attack is likely to be the turning point of this series.

Not long after, the timeout ended and the game continued.

After a timeout, the Warriors serve a sideline ball.

Sun Yi quickly ran without the ball, trying to use the cover of his teammates to get a chance to catch the ball.

Seflosa followed the defense very closely, and other Thunder players shrank in the direction of Sun Yi from time to time, ready to step forward and double-team at any time.

Seeing that the five-second serve violation was about to occur, Sun Yi had an idea and bumped Sevlosa away with his shoulder, giving him a chance to catch the ball.

The linesman saw this scene and did not call the penalty. This was a reasonable physical confrontation, and the final moment was left to the players to decide the outcome of the game.

In the high post area on the right, Sun Yi received the pass, took a dribble, and turned toward the baseline. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Durant rushing up from the defense. He had no extra time to make a fake move and could only drift and hide.

He turned on interference and threw the basketball in his hand.

Whether this difficult shot can be scored or not depends on fate!

The audience was completely silent. The fans were extremely nervous and their palms were sweating.

Some timid female fans even covered their eyes with their hands, not having the courage to continue watching.

The bold fans stared intently at the basketball flying in the air. They did not want to miss the moment of witnessing the miracle.

The basketball in the air drew a perfect arc.

A swish sound!

Hollow into the net!

At the same time, the timer turned on a red light and a harsh buzzer sounded throughout the arena.

"It's over! Everything is over! Sun Yi completed the counterattack and completely killed the game!"

In the commentary box, Barkley roared at the top of his lungs.

The audience was completely excited, and the fans stood up one after another and shouted the MVP slogan in unison.

On the court, Sun Yi was surrounded by his teammates, happily celebrating his hard-won victory.

On the other side, the Thunder players showed frustrated expressions, glanced at the celebrating Warriors players, and reluctantly walked towards the tunnel.

It can be said that they were very close to victory.

After the game, Sun Yi, who had completed the winning goal, was naturally the favorite in the eyes of the media reporters, and they all gathered around him.

"Sun, congratulations on leading the team to tonight's game. In this game, you once again scored a triple-double of 38 points, 12 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 blocks, and completed the game-winner. Is there anything you want to say?" Reporter

asked.

"I'm very happy to help the team win. As for personal data, it really doesn't matter to me. As long as I can win, I don't care about my own data." Sun Yi replied "sincerely".

After hearing this, the media reporters showed doubts in their eyes and expressed disbelief.

But they couldn't force Sun Yi and could only continue to ask questions.

Sun Yi followed the standards given by the press officer and answered all the reporters' questions in a flawless manner.

After the post-match interview, Sun Yi returned to the locker room, said hello to his teammates, then changed into training clothes and went to the training ground for additional practice.



The next day, the front page headlines of the sports section were all the news about Sun Yi's winning goal last night.

This is also mixed with the analysis of MVP by mainstream media. They are very optimistic about Sun Yi becoming the youngest MVP winner in NBA history.

Sun Yi smiled after seeing the news.

You must know that these mainstream media have the voting rights for the regular season MVP.

Now that they are openly siding with each other, as long as he doesn't perform badly in the next games, then the MVP is basically guaranteed.

After reading the news, Sun Yi ate breakfast with a happy mood, and then drove to the arena to meet the team.

Today the entire Warriors team will leave for Oklahoma City to prepare for their third game against the Thunder.



On April 23, the third game between the Warriors and Thunder started at Chesapeake Energy Arena.

Affected by the last game's decisive victory, the status of the two teams was very different.

The Warriors' morale is high, the players are in excellent condition, and they want to win the game in one go.

On the other hand, the Thunder team's morale is low, and the players are in very bad shape. They want to use the home court advantage to get back a win but are unable to do so.

The results speak for themselves. The Warriors defeated the Thunder 114-89 on the road.

After the game, the Warriors led 3-0 and gained match point.

The Thunder theoretically still have hope of reversing the game and advancing, but no team in NBA history has been able to advance after falling behind 0-3.

It can be said that the Thunder have been sentenced to death and basically missed the second round.

Just when everyone thought that the Warriors would sweep the Thunder, the Thunder realized their shame and bravely rebounded.

In Game 4, the Thunder defeated the Warriors 106-99, regaining a victory and avoiding being swept.

Immediately following the most critical fifth game, the Warriors returned home and did not give the Thunder any chance.

Sun Yi scored a triple-double of 42 points, 18 rebounds and 11 assists. He single-handedly defeated the Thunder with a total score of 4-1 and led the team to advance to the second round.
Chapter completed!
