Chapter 263
The Warriors are slowly changing their style of play this season.
Their creativity waned with the addition of Durant.After all, with the existence of Durant's incomprehensible offensive players, there is no need for them to play as complicated as in the past.While their basketball is still beautiful, it will disappoint some fans, maybe even Warriors fans.
The current Warriors are playing more and more like the Thunder before.In other words, where Durant is there is the Thunder.There's not much artistry to his game.The playmaker just needs to hand him the ball and watch from the sidelines.
Pulled away and went it alone, relying on his height and wingspan to pull out and hit the score.
Super strong personal scoring ability is the final guarantee for the Warriors to win the championship.This is how the Warriors were defeated in last year's Finals.And Durant almost did it before that.
Therefore, Donovan's entry point is Durant.As the group of people who know Durant best in the world, players like him and Westbrook know how to limit each other.Although it is difficult, it is not impossible.
Separate Durant from the Warriors.Let the Warriors become the original Warriors, and the Thunder will have a chance to win.After all, Donovan has experience.
Seeing Durant again, Westbrook actually felt a little uncomfortable.Not only did he not communicate with Durant throughout the whole process, but he also specifically told other people not to deal with Durant.
In this case, the closer to the start of the game, the more tense the atmosphere.Even when An Luo greeted Curry in the past, he was cautious.
Players from both sides enter the field and the game begins.
The Thunder's starting lineup has changed.Adams was absent, Donovan did not let Kanter top, but put the teenager Grant in the starting lineup.An Luo and Kanter still guard the bench and lead the second team.
On the opposite side are those people, Curry, Thompson, Durant, Green and Pachulia.
Under the urging of the referee, players from both sides came down to the center circle and settled down, ready to jump the ball.
"Di..."
Game start.
At the same time, several old guys who commented above also started their own performances.As old seniors, when they teased these young men, it could be said that they did whatever they wanted and said everything.It made the audience watching the game on TV feel very happy.
Grant vs. Pachulia.
In the end Westbrook got the basketball.He quickly advanced to the outside of the three-point line. Facing Curry, he had no pressure, and he went inside with an accelerated change of direction.Green hurried to make up the defense. His defense has always been a barrier for the Warriors.So Westbrook didn't force himself, but gave the ball to Oladipo at a 45-degree angle on the right outside the three-point line.After the latter received the ball, he raised his hand and was about to shoot.In fact, he made a fake move to shake Thompson, and then threw the ball.
"Shh!"
Hollow into the network!
3:0, the Thunder took the lead in the away game.
At the beginning of the game, the Thunder players looked quite positive.Especially Oladipo and Grant, these two guys have been running around, looking for opportunities.
Switching to the defensive end, they were more active.
Curry advanced with the ball, and Westbrook was very tight.No one dared to let Curry take even half a step. After all, this guy's shooting speed is quite fast and accurate.A slight negligence is an opportunity for the opponent to score.
Seeing no chance, Curry passed the ball to Durant.After the latter received the ball, Robertson went straight up, still defending in the same way as in the previous game.He firmly resisted Durant's lower plate, and then countered his body, constantly interfering with the opponent's possession of the ball.
After two tries, Durant passed the ball to Green.The latter dangled from beyond the three-point line, then broke through and passed the ball to Thompson.
Oladipo's defense is also very active.He leaned on Thompson, his hands chasing the basketball in the opponent's hand.Thompson's ball handling is actually very average, so as long as he prevents his catch and shoots, the threat behind him is much smaller.
The ball stalled in Thompson's hands.The little Sabonis next to him immediately double-teamed.With his clip, Green was emptied.Thompson saw it, but made a mistake when passing the ball.
The basketball was broken from behind by Westbrook, and then immediately launched a counterattack.
Westbrook's speed, no second person on the court can keep up.He went straight across the free throw line, then soared into the sky, raised the basketball with his right hand, and dunked hard.
"Ow!"
After landing, Westbrook patted his chest and looked arrogantly at Oracle's golden sea of boos.
An Luo had already stood up with a towel when Westbrook rushed up.After the opponent dunked in, the bench was already cheering.This guy's physical fitness is really good!He estimated that in the current NBA No. [-] position, only Westbrook can have such a powerful dunk.In other positions, there are not many such explosive players.
Westbrook's performance inspired Durant's fighting spirit.On the next possession, he caught a pass from Curry at the right elbow, slid past Roberson, and strode into the lane with a split dunk just across Grant.
After dunking, Durant stared at Westbrook.This is my own place!
Right!
Now the audience is happy!Everyone likes to watch this kind of match between the tip of the needle and the wheat.In the current NBA, there are too few such games!
The Thunder continued to attack.Facing Curry, Westbrook stepped over directly, broke through and passed the ball to Grant in the left corner.After the latter received the ball, he easily hit a three-pointer.
This guy once again proved the good vision of the Thunder management.He has excellent physical fitness, can jump and run, and has a three-point shooting ability above the first-hand level.Greatly made up for the Thunder's weakness in the third and fourth positions.In the small lineup sent by Donovan, he can also reach the fifth position.And today, it seems that the performance is not bad.
8:2, the Thunder had the upper hand.
But the Warriors responded right away.Durant held the ball at the top of the arc, crossed past Kanter who was switching defenses, accelerated his breakthrough to the basket, and completed a layup against Westbrook who came over from the supplementary defense.
"Di!"
The thug fouled and the ball fell into the net after a spin around the rim.
This is a real matchup between Westbrook and Durant in this game.Needless to say Durant's ability, his attitude is also very firm.
When the whistle sounded, Westbrook was a little excited.He didn't think he had committed a foul, so he kept appealing to the referee.However, the referee ignored him.
In the first round, Durant beat Westbrook.
