Chapter 194 Nothing Is Impossible
In the second half of the third quarter, it finally rained three points in the Oracle Arena.
However, it wasn't just Lei Ting who got caught in the rain, but also the owner of this arena, who also didn't have an umbrella!
Curry found the shooting touch in this quarter.Especially in the last few minutes, he first hit a three-pointer directly from outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, and then hit a goal in the right corner.
In addition to Curry, Thompson has also become the dragon king who gives rain.He received consecutive passes from Green and made three-pointers.Fortunately, the hit rate is not as high as Curry, and only hit two of them.
But An Luo resisted the attack of these two people.
Under Donovan's arrangement, the Thunder left Westbrook, and everyone else was creating opportunities for him.Basically every round, he will be given at least two screens.Coupled with An Luo's own flexible running position, he got a lot of opportunities outside the three-point line.Throughout the third quarter, he played more than 5 minutes and scored 5 three-pointers.Of course, the number of shots is also quite a lot, there are 11 times!
Of course, other people on the field will sacrifice some shots!But no one complained. After all, Westbrook, the boss of the team, was willing to be a green leaf, and they had nothing to say.What's more, An Luo really played the effect!
One Curry in a game is a joy to watch; two Curries are thrilling; three or four are a disaster.
In this game, there are at least three Curries on the field!During the few minutes when An Luo's shooting rhythm was the most comfortable, the ten players on the field were running around like track and field athletes, which didn't look like a basketball game at all.
This situation was not changed until the fourth quarter.As Durant began to participate in the offense, the Warriors-to-Warriors situation on the field became Thunder-to-Thunder.Although the Warriors still played their passing and cutting tactics, they passed the ball more to Durant and let him solve the problem.
In fact, as long as there is Durant's game, what people see is the shadow of the Thunder!After all, it is impossible to change the style of play that has been cultivated in eight or nine years.The reason why the Warriors introduced Durant was also to have a stable and efficient player to end the offense when the air-cut tactics were ineffective.
Letting him run back and forth like in the third quarter is simply a waste of Durant's energy.
In the first half of the quarter, Durant and Green led a group of "old guys" to play well.As soon as he came up, he received an assist from Green and made an empty cut to the basket.Then, Sabonis missed a three-pointer, and Durant turned around and shot Robertson for another three-pointer.
It seems that the Warriors are about to start harvesting the game.
But Westbrook didn't agree.After failing to make two passes to his teammates, he started to come on his own.
He first came to the frontcourt with the ball, and with the cover of Sabonis, he rushed into the inside line in one step, and then made an emergency stop jump shot.Then he responded from beyond the three-point line and returned Durant.
But Westbrook is indeed not as efficient as Durant.His main offensive method is to rush inside with the ball.After all, Westbrook also knows that his long-range shots have always been inaccurate, even that zombie-like mid-range jumper is still ineffective!
Under such circumstances, the Thunder was opened by the Warriors for the first time.As Green once again assisted Iguodala to score a layup, Donovan quickly called a timeout.At this time, the Thunder had fallen behind by 10 points, and the situation took a turn for the worse.
It can be seen that the Thunder's offense and defense have problems.After all, the sequelae of back-to-back battles still have a great impact on the Thunder generals.What's more, the last game was against a team like the Clippers.
Donovan mentioned Adams, and after letting him play, Dora moved to a high position to cover the outside players.Especially the pick-and-roll cooperation between him and Westbrook needs to be played more resolutely.As for An Luo, he was the one that Donovan had the most high hopes for!After searching the Thunder, only he can provide relatively stable scoring, even if his efficiency is relatively low today.
With 7 minutes left in the game, the Thunder still have a chance to win!
Westbrook, Anlow, Robertson, Ilyasova, Adams.This is the last lineup Donovan sent. Sabonis did not continue to be on the court. He was efficient at the basket, but the inside was too crowded!Ilyasova's three-pointer is very good, which can open up space for Westbrook.
Cole also sent the main players up, the two sides opened up, and the moment of the decisive battle began.
Westbrook dribbled the ball slowly, and An Luo kept running near the three-point line.He never stopped on the field.Surprisingly energetic!Thompson has been following An Luo, except for the third quarter when the two sides "exchanged three-pointers", his defensive efficiency dropped a little.At other times, he still restrained An Luo very well.
Adams pulled out, went to the basket after a pick-and-roll, received a pass from Westbrook, and made an easy layup.Whether it is Pachulia or West, Adams can show good dominance.
Then Green missed a layup, giving the Thunder a chance to catch up.
With the help of Ilyasova's cover, An Luo hit a three-pointer at a 45-degree angle on the left.This is his seventh three-pointer of the game! "Little Curry" overwhelmed Curry in this game.
The owner of Oracle is naturally not happy.So looking back, Curry held the ball across half court, and at a place nearly two meters away from the three-point line, he suddenly shot a cold arrow and hit a super long three-pointer!
There was an earth-shattering cheer in the arena.This is the way Curry plays!
But when Westbrook turned his head, a basin of cold water was poured on the opponent's head.He wobbled away from Curry, then sped up and headed for the hoop.Pachulia, who came back to defend, raised his hand high, trying to interfere with the opponent's attack this time.But he obviously underestimated Westbrook's determination.
Westbrook, who got rid of Curry, shot straight into the sky, and dunked the ball through Pachulia.
"Di!"
Defensive foul!One extra penalty.
Westbrook, who landed safely, looked up to the sky and screamed. He slapped his chest twice and looked at Pachulia with disdain.
As long as he rushes up, no one can stop him!
After steadily scoring a free throw, the Thunder still fell behind by 5 points.But this dunk completely ignited the Thunder's passion.On the next possession, Westbrook blocked Curry's layup.Ilyasova, who grabbed the basketball, passed the ball back to Westbrook, who made a long pass and assisted An Luo to score a layup.
Thunder wave 7:0, narrowed the point difference to 3 points!At this time, there are 4 minutes left before the end of the game.
The outcome is hard to tell, everything is just beginning!
