Chapter 667 Three giants explode together

Chapter 667

Consistently, the team that wins at Tianwangshan has the better chance of winning the series.In the Western Conference semifinals, the Thunder defeated their opponents in the battle of Tianwangshan, and finally won the sixth game in one go.So now, they are under great pressure from public opinion.

Basically, except for the local media in Oklahoma, no one thinks that the Thunder can pull back a city in Oakland.In the playoffs, away games are much more difficult than home games.And the Thunder have yet to win a game at Oracle Arena in this series.

Not only the news media, many players, commentators and even most fans hold the same opinion.After all, the Thunder lost the Tianwangshan battle at their home court, which was a very morale-destroying thing.

"The Thunder's title defense will end in Oakland!"

"3:2! Thunder is about to be out."

"A year later, a comeback. The Warriors are more likely to advance to the Finals."

……

But for the Thunder themselves, they did not lose confidence in the next game.Both the head coach Donovan and the players like An Luo felt extremely unwilling to lose the battle of Tianwangshan.They were not helpless, and even the Thunder always maintained the possibility of winning in the game.If it weren't for bad luck, the current public opinion might be a different scene!

"Although it is a sad thing to lose the game, we are not discouraged by it. The series is a long process, and it is only halfway through now. We will bring the game back to Oklahoma, I believe we can do it!"

Westbrook showed confidence after the game, not at all like a backward party.An Luo, Paul George and others, like Westbrook, did not think that the upcoming road trip would be such a difficult thing.Last time in Oakland, they almost took the game away.

"We can't make all the shots, just like we can't miss all the shots. It's a shame not to make that shot. But as long as we can get the shot, we still have the opportunity to beat the ball. Opponent's chances. Next game, we're going to get a lot of those chances. We're going to hit the ball until we win the game."

Paul George walks the talk.In the game two days later, he showed his prowess, and together with Westbrook and An Luo, he won a big victory at the Oracle Arena.

The Thunder turned their backs and found the state of the game faster than the Warriors, and forcibly brought the opponent into their own rhythm.

Paul George, who lost the lore in the last game, seemed to want to "repent his shame". He hit a three-pointer where he shot in the previous game as soon as he came up.It was this ball that made Paul George kick off his crazy scoring prelude.

This evening, Paul George was in surprisingly good form.Maybe it was because he was too unwilling in the last game, so he broke out with the most powerful attack power.In just 9 minutes of the first quarter, he scored 18 points!Whether it is Durant, Iguodala or Green defending, they cannot limit Paul George's scoring.

More importantly, there is more than one Paul George on the Thunder side.An Luo's state is also very hot.Against Thompson's close defense, he played very strong.Whether it's catching and shooting off the ball or singles with the ball, he has an absolute upper hand.

Coupled with Westbrook's go-between, the Thunder's offense is very smooth.

The situation of the Warriors is not satisfactory.The first is their defense.The Warriors cannot limit the opponent's scoring through their own defense, and this is the biggest problem.In fact, the Warriors' defense has not weakened.But because of the decisiveness and efficiency of the Thunder's offensive end, it has become full of loopholes.It gives people the feeling that the Warriors' defense always seems very slow.The second is to attack.The Thunder started the game like a rainbow, and their success on the offensive end made their defense even more vulnerable.The Warriors were caught off guard and made mistakes again and again, which gave the Thunder many opportunities to launch counterattacks and fast breaks, and made their situation even more difficult.

In the second quarter, the Thunder continued their excellent form in the first quarter, and Paul George once again scored double-digit points.Although Durant and Curry have worked very hard, they still couldn't resist the Thunder's offense.

By the end of the first half, the point difference between the two sides was already very large.In fact, the Warriors scored a lot in the first two quarters. Although they didn't play very well, they still scored 56 points.It's just that compared with Thunder, it is indeed much worse.The Thunder, led by Paul George and An Luo, scored 78 points in two quarters!Ten years ago, this might have been the score of the entire game.

"Guys, we must not relax now. What we can do, they can do too. In the second half, we will face a very fierce attack, and our defense will definitely suffer a huge challenge. But, in order to win , we must be prepared to fight with the opponent until the last second. We must stay focused, defend stronger, attack more patiently, and work together..."

Donovan's concerns are not unfounded.The Warriors made some changes in the second half, and then launched a very violent counterattack.Obviously, during the intermission, Cole made some targeted adjustments and arrangements for his players.But the Thunder also came prepared, so even if Curry, Thompson and Durant scored more than 50 points in the second half, they still failed to reverse the game.

In the end, the Thunder beat the Warriors with a score of 138:119 in the away game.This is a hearty game!It should be said that in this season's playoffs, the Thunder won the game so smoothly for the first time.They suppressed each other all over the court. Since they opened the point difference to double digits, they have never allowed the Warriors to pull it back to single digits.

It's a tough thing to do.The Warriors are in full swing.They just won the away game and got the match point of the series. As long as they win this game, they can advance to the finals.Moreover, the Warriors have home court advantage.They are almost invincible.

The key to the Thunder's victory in the game is the unanimous explosion of the Big Three.With the extreme unwillingness after being defeated by the Warriors at home two days ago, the three of them entered a state of rampage from the beginning.Whether it is on the offensive or defensive end, they have done a very good job.Under the tandem of Westbrook, Paul George and An Luo became the two sharpest arrows, piercing straight into the heart of the Warriors.
