Chapter 362 tit for tat
Judging from the first quarter of the game, the Warriors are not in a good state.They were not able to play their own rhythm.The Thunder have always taken the initiative on the field.Their defense played a huge role.The Thunder caused 6 turnovers by the opponent in the first quarter, and scored 12 points by relying on counterattack and fast break.
雷霆“三巨头”发挥出色。他们拿到了全队33分里的27分，威斯布鲁克单节得到11分5个篮板5次助攻，安洛9分，保罗乔治13分。
But most are not worried about the Warriors.This season, it is not the first time they have played such a game.They are always very slow, but if the opponent is a little careless, they will be taken away by a wave.
Whether the Thunder can maintain their strength in the first quarter is the key to their victory.
In the second quarter, Donovan still let Paul George take the lead.Tonight, Pickle's offensive state is very good.As soon as he came on the court, under the cover of his teammates, he made a three-pointer.Then, Iguodala's layup was interfered by Kanter.Grant grabbed the rebound and immediately passed it to Felton, who quickly advanced to the frontcourt.
Relying on his strong body, Felton went all the way to the basket.But the Warriors' defense didn't give him a chance for a layup.So Felton slipped out along the baseline again.Fortunately, he still knew his role and handed the ball to Paul George.After the latter hit the ball, he directly broke through Iguodala and scored a strong layup.
Under the leadership of Paul George, the Thunder played an 8:2 spurt, rewriting the score to 42:28.
In the next few minutes, the two sides fell into a stalemate.
At this time, both Cole and Donovan were very dissatisfied with the performance of their players.
The former felt that his offensive system did not play a role, the players lacked a positive state, and did not play the game according to their own tactical thinking.The latter is quite dissatisfied with the player's defense.During this period of time, although the Warriors failed to catch up with the score, the Thunder could not expand their advantage.Although Paul George is good enough, he can't limit the opponent's scoring.The oppressive defense in the first quarter was not played out in this quarter.
So Donovan called a timeout.During this period, he only emphasized the team's defensive problems.
"I want to see that defense in the first quarter. I need you guys to press the other team all the time. Force them to make turnovers, and then take the opportunity to play the counter fast break. Get it? I believe you know how to do it!"
After a timeout, Westbrook and An Luo played.This time is 2 minutes earlier than before.But Cole also expected what Donovan would do, so Durant and Curry also came back.
The situation hasn't changed much, it's still you coming and going.With unstoppable players on both sides, the game became exciting.Especially the confrontation between Westbrook and Durant made everyone addicted.
With more than 7 minutes left in this quarter, Westbrook received a basketball from Adams from beyond the right three-point line.Just when everyone thought he was going to wait until Adams pulled the pick-and-roll before attacking.But unexpectedly, while Adams was still walking out, he suddenly started, broke into the penalty area from between Curry and Green, then jumped high, and succeeded in one-handed dunking.
His speed is simply too fast.Suddenly, like a thunderbolt, it exploded over the Chesapeake Energy Arena.The passion of nearly [-] Oklahoma fans was instantly ignited by Westbrook.
"O~K~C!"
"O~K~C!"
……
In this arena, unlike other arenas filled with shouts of MVP.On the contrary, the voice of OKC always resounds through the sky.In Oklahoma, the Thunder are everything to them.There aren't even teams from other leagues here.
After the dunk, Westbrook roared and took the overlord step.At this moment, he dominates the world.
Durant is probably the person who understands this scene best among all the players in this game.For many years, they have come here like this.However, he is definitely not to be outdone, and he also has his own pride.
Looking back, Curry holds the ball.Durant took the initiative to step forward to pick and roll him, covering the opponent to go in.The Thunder's defense has always adopted a strategy of switching on screens.It is the same at this time.
This is undoubtedly a very practical tactic.After switching defenses, Curry faced Paul George, and it was even harder to play.So instead of running to the basket, he went forward to the right, and after taking away Paul George, he passed the ball back to Durant.
All of a sudden, Durant and Westbrook faced each other directly!
The atmosphere at the scene boiled instantly.Just like last season, every time these two faced each other at the Chesapeake Energy Arena, it was like sparks hit the earth.As long as two people are in a pair, many stories will always happen.
Durant holds the ball and faces Westbrook.Time passed bit by bit, and Durant still had a three-threat posture.With 5 seconds left, Durant moved.With his back turned to Westbrook, he pushed in twice, then turned around directly. Under the boos of the sky, the golden rooster independently hit a jumper.
So confident.It's still the familiar feeling. In this arena, Westbrook's dunks and Durant's shots are so iconic.
However, this time the matchup was the only one in the entire first half.Of course, before that, Durant and Paul George scolded each other for a while.In fact, everyone still likes to watch this kind of duel.Fighting against each other, sparks fly.
Just like the duel between Durant and Westbrook, no one loses.The same is true for the subsequent games, which once again fell into a stalemate.The score has climbed one after another.
With two and a half minutes left in this quarter, Curry received a pass from Green and hit a three-pointer against Paul George's block, helping the Warriors pull the point difference back to single digits.
They have gone from a maximum of 14 points to 8 points and look like they are about to start.But then, Durant was replaced.The Thunder set off another wave of offensive climax, once again widening the point difference.
Under the leadership of Westbrook, the Thunder played a wave of 11:4 at the last moment.After losing Durant to share the pressure, Curry became the focus of the Thunder.With Paul George's ultra-long three-pointer in the last 1.3 seconds, at halftime, the Thunder led the Warriors by 65 points 48:17.
Among the 65 points, Westbrook, An Luo and Paul George scored 50 points, which has exceeded the total points of the Warriors.Thunder's offensive firepower can be seen.
