Chapter 460 The score is biting, it is suffocating
The time-out is over and the game continues.
There are more than 4 minutes left in the second quarter.
Both sides have a chance, it depends on who is tougher and who is more ruthless!
Basketball commentators are saying that this is a battle of luck between the Warriors and the Thunder!
The talent and style of play of the two teams are unique.
Whoever can reach the finals this year and win the championship will definitely be the dynasty team in the next few years.
Because their age structure and team salary are very reasonable, even after winning the championship, there will be no sequelae of the championship.
It's scary!
Westbrook dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. He didn't seem to want to pass the ball to Durant, and with the cover of his teammates, he killed the penalty area.
However, facing Chandler's inside defense, Westbrook did not dare to blow up the basket easily, so he chose to pass to Ibaka in seconds.
Ibaka dodges Chandler, flies dunks and gets 2 points!
This is Ibaka's advantage. His lateral movement ability not only allows him to be ubiquitous on the defensive end, but also on the offensive end, he can easily shake off the opposing big center and directly dunk and score.
At 46:45, the Thunder went ahead by 1 point.
The score was too close, and the air in the arena was suffocating.
It's time to compete for toughness.
Warriors attack.
Zhou Yang dribbled the ball past halftime.
Thunder players still double-teamed Zhou Yang, but the action was not so rough.
Chandler mentioned the high position and helped Zhou Yang block Sefoloza. Zhou Yang took the opportunity to squeeze Butler away and rushed to the right.
Butler stuck close to Zhou Yang, trying to drive him to the bottom corner.
But Zhou Yang spun the top and left Butler behind.
Durant hurried over to help defend.
But Zhou Yang didn't even want to get to the basket.
In the playoffs, in the real confrontation, the CIC will always be the sharpest weapon.
Because you go to the basket, it is easy to be blocked, and even if you are not blocked, it is easy to be fouled, because there is no defender who will let you score easily at the basket.
Even if a foul is committed, it's hard to say whether the referee blows the whistle or not.
So, just come to the most stable one and directly hit the CIC!
Swish!
Steady as an old dog!
Durant shook his head helplessly. He found that Zhou Yang's game rhythm was too good. He could quickly make judgments based on the position of the defenders on the field and choose the best way to score.
This kind of golf quotient and insight made Zhou Yang the scariest killer on the court, even scarier than Kobe!
47: 46!
The Warriors once again led by 1 points.
The Thunder attack.
Westbrook didn't go up this time, and he passed the ball to Durant.
This is the disadvantage of the Thunder team. It seems to be full of talent, but when it comes to offense, it is Dewey's duo.
The two exchanged swings.
Then the bench is organized by Harden.
At that time, the fans in the forum were complaining that the Thunder did not have a good coach, and they slammed Brooks.
In fact, Brooks is also quite wronged. These two masters have personalities, and the way they play depends entirely on their own instincts.
It's hard to get them to fit into a system.
Because both of them are very capable, if they are placed in a certain system, such as Princeton, or the triangle offense, it feels that their edge will be sharply reduced.
For example, before Zhou Yang crossed, the Warriors insisted on passing and cutting under Cole's coaching.
In the beginning, Durant was still able to integrate into the team, he would run a lot off the ball, and then he only made the end point.
But after only one season, Durant got bored.
In the second year, I simply wanted to play singles by myself, and played singles non-stop.
As a result, I was exhausted, and the team's record was not so ideal.
Finally, in the third year, he collapsed and brought endless regret to Warriors fans.
……
After Durant received the ball, in order to simplify the offense, he also called a screen. Ibaka blocked Zhou Yang, and then Durant went near the bottom line.
Tony Allen chased after him, and Durant used his height advantage to forcefully pull!
Unfortunately, under Allen's interference, it was still crooked.
The hearts of the Thunder fans at home thumped!
If Durant's offense stalls, the Thunder are in danger.
Perkins picked up a leak and grabbed a rebound.
In fact, he should pass the ball to Westbrook, because Westbrook happens to be open now.
It's a pity that he had a conflict with Westbrook just now, so he pretended not to see Westbrook and passed the ball to Sefolosha!
The Swiss Army Knife's open three-pointer is actually not bad. This season's regular season has also reached 43.7%!
quite high.
Swish!
Sefoloza made a decisive shot and hit!
This goal once again ignited the Thunder's home court.
Durant also let out a sigh of relief, and the Thunder finally continued to fire.
He was really worried, fearing that Zhou Yang would try his best to open the score, and it would be over...
Durant rushed over, bumped his chest with Sefolosha to celebrate, and Westbrook also went to high-five.
But Westbrook still glanced at Perkins with complicated eyes.
At 49:47, the Thunder led by 2 points.
Zhou Yang gestured to his teammates, telling everyone not to be discouraged!
In the next few rounds, the scores of the two teams rose alternately.
The game continued until the end of halftime, with 52 seconds left, and the Thunder led by 1 point.
57: 56.
Warriors attack.
Zhou Yang secretly made up his mind that he must take the lead in the first half.
Thomas Jr. dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, facing Westbrook, he directly called a screen.
Turkoglu came up to block Westbrook, and Thomas Jr. broke through quickly.
But Ibaka stuck to the penalty area and didn't give Thomas Jr. a chance.
Unexpectedly, Thomas made a cross and passed the ball to Turkoglu.
Turkoglu faced Westbrook and shot calmly.
As a result, Westbrook was too excited and had no choice. He was much shorter than the agent.
Snapped!
Westbrook slapped Turkoglu on the arm.
The referee blew the whistle and blew Westbrook's thug foul, and Turkoglu got three free throws!
The home fans were furious and scolded the referee one after another, but the referee was unmoved and insisted that it was a three-point hitter.
Turkoglu's free throw is still very stable.
He walked to the free-throw line and, as a result, missed the first free throw.
In fact, it's not his fault. Westbrook's slap just now was quite ruthless, and Turkoglu's arm was a little numb.
Zhou Yang gave him a high five and whispered a few words of encouragement in his ear.
The agent made all of the remaining two free throws.
At 58:57, the Warriors took the lead again.
There are 30 seconds left in the game.
In theory, each side has an opportunity to attack.
Instead of calling a timeout, Brooks yelled from the sidelines, "Run it out!"
Westbrook dribbled the ball into the frontcourt and saw that Durant had Tony Allen next to him, so he didn't pass the ball.
Ibaka ran in front of Tony Allen and blocked him. Durant took the opportunity to run to the sideline, but Zhou Yang followed him.
Westbrook immediately passed the ball to Sefolosha.
But Tony Allen switched in front of him again. This is the Warriors' defense. Everyone helps fill the position, and they don't just stare at their own people.
Sefolosha can only take an open shot, he does not have the ability to shoot against others, so he had to hang the ball to Durant.
Facing Zhou Yang, Durant had no idea, but there were only 5 seconds left in the attack time, so he had to try his best to get rid of it, then fell back with a three-pointer, and made a drift shot!
With his height, it's really hard to prevent him from desperately drifting backwards...
