Chapter 390 Thunder is Too Strong
The entire first half of the game was the performance of Westbrook and Durant.Other players on the field, including the other four All-Stars, have become green leaves embellishing them.
The final result was that Westbrook scored 30 points in two quarters, and Durant did not give up much, scoring 27 points in two quarters.
But the Warriors did not narrow the point difference. They trailed the Thunder by 56 points 70:14, ending the first half of the game.
The Oracle Arena fans weren't particularly down, believing their team would win the game.Just like every night before, the Warriors will always win in the end.
Thunder fans weren't particularly excited either.After all, the opponent's best player was the pride of Oklahoma two years ago.
On the contrary, people from other teams are the happiest.They all silently rejoiced that these two guys were no longer on the same team!
In the second half, Westbrook finally remembered what he should do.Before the start of this season, when the Thunder traded Paul George, he promised to make some changes.Therefore, he focuses on passing, rebounding and defense every game.Although it is still averaging a triple-double, the scoring average is just in his early 20s.You know, such a score can only rank third in the Thunder team.
In fact, Westbrook has changed a lot in the last season.But at that time An Luo was still a little immature, and Oladipo did not play as expected.He still puts a lot of energy on scoring.
In the third quarter of the game, Green was called a technical foul before it even started.
This season, the Warriors have led the league in technical fouls.Green's foul this time is already the third time the Warriors have been blown in this game.The first two were blown to Cole and West.
After Westbrook stepped to the free throw line and made the free throw, the Thunder led by 15 points.
After the interlude, the game officially began.
In the first offensive round, the Warriors were under the defense of the Thunder and made a turnover.They made too many mistakes in this game.When facing the Thunder, this is a very dangerous thing.
Looking back, An Luo scored a chasing three-pointer with the assist of Westbrook.This is his second three-pointer of the game.Moreover, he also took 5 shots in the entire first half.But with this goal, he became the third Thunder player to score in double figures in this game.
Subsequently, Durant carried the banner of the Warriors' offense.He first received the ball from the outside and forced a mid-range shot in the face of Paul George; then followed Green's screen and went straight to the basket, pressing Kanter for a dunk.
This ball almost caused a conflict between the two.Originally, Kanter couldn't understand Durant very much, and some sparks would come out in every game.So after Durant dunked, Kanter held the opponent's head and started talking trash.The good thing is that Kanter was still relatively calm and did not make any further moves.
But then, An Luo's pass made him vent his anger.
Originally, An Luo received a pass from Westbrook outside the three-point line and was about to shoot a three-pointer.He had just escaped Thompson's defense with Grant's screen, but Green moved too fast.This guy's defense is really good, and he stuck in front of An Luo in one step.This time, An Luo couldn't make a move.
He turned a few times, but still couldn't get rid of the opponent's defense.Can only pass the ball back to Westbrook.Immediately, he bypassed Green and cut directly to the basket.
At this time, after getting rid of the defense, Westbrook also passed the ball.In fact, he could have shot directly, but An Luo didn't.He tossed the ball in front of the hoop and had an alley-oop with Kanter.
After that, the two sides were basically in a balance of power, and the point difference has been maintained at about 15 points.
Until the last 2 minutes of the game.Westbrook broke through and assisted An Luo to hit a three-pointer from the outside, opening the point difference to more than 20 points in an instant.Although Durant and Curry succeeded in succession in the end, An Luo and Westbrook withstood the Warriors' last wave of offensive one inside and one outside.In the end, they led each other by 22 points and entered the final quarter.
Entering the last quarter, the Warriors still did not give up the game.They are still trying to close the score.
But the Thunder did not give them a chance to reverse the game.Whenever the Warriors play a wave of rhythm, someone from the Thunder will always stand up.Or Paul George, or An Luo, or even Adams, all played the role of obstacles.
With 8 minutes left in the game, there was another episode on the field.After the Warriors' Green fouled again, he was dissatisfied with the referee's call.After the referee failed to communicate, he lost control of his emotions in an instant and threw the ball at the referee angrily.As a result, Green was ejected for his second technical foul of the game.
In the next few minutes, the Warriors launched their last attack.
After borrowing the screen, Curry made two consecutive shots from beyond the three-point line.His three-pointer gave the Warriors a glimmer of hope.But then, An Luo and Paul George succeeded in succession, pulling the difference back again.
Subsequently, Cole waved his hand and removed all the main players.Although there are 5 minutes left in the game at this time, the situation is already powerless for the Warriors.
In the end, the Thunder easily defeated the Warriors with a score of 125:105 in the away game.While ending the opponent's four-game winning streak, he also won two consecutive victories.
When the finale was over, Westbrook was calm.An Luo and Paul George hugged.Being able to beat the Warriors is also something to be happy about.
Curry was a little frustrated that he didn't perform well enough in this game.Although he scored 21 points, he did not play his role as a head star.
Of course, the reason why the Thunder can beat the Warriors in this game is because of Westbrook's explosion and excellent overall rhythm.But the Warriors' defense is also a crucial reason.Not to mention the first quarter, he lost 42 points in a single quarter, which shows how bad the Warriors' defense is.Not only were they unable to guard the basket, they were rebounded by Adams again and again, and they were also hit several times from the outside.Had it not been for Adams' two fouls and early rest, the gap might have been even greater.
For the Thunder, with the victory in this game, the previous three-game losing streak is nothing to be concerned about.Now everyone is talking about how powerful the Thunder is, without mentioning the previous decline.
