Chapter 596 Keeping the second home court
The Splash Brothers looked nervous.
Many old Warriors fans have never seen the two so nervous.
With more than 2 minutes left in the second quarter, the Thunder led by 5 points.
Before the timeout, the Thunder played a small climax. If the Warriors can't respond strongly, then the Thunder is likely to take a big lead in the first half.
After the timeout, the main players of both sides returned to the court.
Zhou Yang held the ball at the top of the arc. Facing Sefolosha's defense, he didn't call a screen, but ran towards Curry.
Splash Brothers' pick-and-rolls are also very common, and the Thunder are prepared.
Sefolosha and Harden yelled, and then they were about to switch defenses.
Although Harden can't guard against Zhou Yang, he can stand up for a while, as long as he doesn't let Zhou Yang make a move.
Unexpectedly, the moment Zhou Yang ran towards Curry, Curry did not meet him. Instead, he made a feint, faltered, and ran towards the bottom corner.
Harden was shocked and hurried to catch up, but he was already one position behind.
Zhou Yang threw the ball over immediately, and it was the ball leader.
Curry ran to the bottom corner, received the ball, and made a three-pointer without any adjustments at all!
Harden's thick body makes it difficult to defend against a small and quick guard like Curry.
Swish!
Three point hit.
This tactic should be used by the Warriors for the first time, and the Thunder players can't crack it at all.
After scoring the goal, Curry raised his right hand and greeted Zhou Yang across the air.
Splash Brothers' tactics are too rich, it's really hard to guard against!
Both Durant and Harden tensed up.
In order to maintain the lead in the first half, they must play a strong output.
The Thunder attack.
Harden held the ball for halftime, and Durant came to cover.
Duha also played a pick-and-roll.
It looks good, this is a fight with the Warriors.
Aren't you the Splash Brothers playing tactics?Then our second general Duha will also play tactics!
Durant blocked Curry, and Harden took the opportunity to kill the penalty area.
But Tony Allen was hot on his heels, and Harden didn't have a chance to make a move.
Harden got to the edge of the lane and flicked the ball back suddenly.
The pass was so unbelievable that he didn't look back at all.
Durant received the ball smoothly from outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle.
Curry defending Durant is too difficult.
Durant made a three-pointer over Curry, whoa!
In fact, Zhou Yang wanted to come over to help defend just now, but Harden's breakthrough was too sharp, and Zhou Yang didn't expect him to pass the ball back.
Three point hit!
The Thunder's lead was back to 5 points.
This is Durant's ability, he has transformed.
Warriors fans felt the horror of Durant, he deserves to be the god of death!
Zhou Yang's competitive spirit was aroused.
This is the Warriors' second home game, and the Warriors must win.
Even if you want to lose to Thunder, you can't have your head shaved, that would be too shameful.
Warriors attack.
Zhou Yang advanced with the ball and ran towards Curry again.
Sefolosha and Harden were very nervous, and they didn't know what kind of plane they were going to do again.
Just when Sefolosha and Harden were focusing on Curry, Zhou Yang suddenly took a step back and made a three-pointer!
This was Zhou Yang's second three-pointer in the first half, and the Thunder players really didn't expect it.
Sefoloza was shocked, and it was too late to rush to defend again.
Swish!
It is horizontal!
Zhou Yang and Durant are both excited.
The Warriors fans jumped up excitedly, shouting Zhou Yang's name.
This is the duel of masters, you come and go, tit for tat!
Durant's face was livid, and he felt that he had also entered the state.
The Thunder attack.
Harden advanced with the ball, Durant didn't play any tactics, and just reached out for the ball.
This is the characteristic of Durant. It can't be said that it is an advantage or a disadvantage.
Harden originally wanted to break through and score the ball, but Durant is the boss of the team, the big brother, since he wants the ball, he must give it.
Whoosh!
Harden passed the ball.
Durant received the ball, and just as he was about to hit Tony Allen in a single, Zhou Yang pounced on him.
Since you want to fight alone, then hit us both!
Durant panicked when he saw Zhou Yang approaching.
He had to force his shot.
Unfortunately, under the defense of these two top defensive champions, Durant's shot missed.
Although it is biased, Durant's singles ability is indeed strong enough.
If you change someone, there is no way to make a move.
Chandler roared, protected the rebound, and passed it directly to Curry.
Curry killed half the game, and Harden chased after him.
Running beyond the three-point line, Curry looked up at the basket. Harden thought Curry was about to make a shot, and jumped up reflexively.
Unexpectedly, Curry tricked Harden, went straight to the three-point line, and picked the basket to score.
At the end of the second quarter, the Warriors evened the score!
59: 59!
It's incredible.
The Golden State Oracle Arena instantly turned into a sea of joy, and almost all the fans stood up, cheering for the Splash Brothers' outstanding performance.
Thunder coach Brooks was in a hurry, pacing back and forth on the sidelines.
He thought the Thunder could take the lead in the first half, crush the Warriors psychologically, and then win the game in the second half.
But he underestimated the tenacity of Splash Brothers.
The Thunder attack.
Durant didn't make a shot just now, so he calmed down and waved Harden to attack.
Harden took the ball and killed halfway slowly, reaching out and calling Ibaka to cover.
The Thunder also had a lot of tactics, and Harden took advantage of the situation to get close to the bottom line.
Just when Chandler rushed to help defend, Harden made a direct shot and hit a two-pointer.
Brother Deng's skills have been perfected, and he really can't be guarded by himself.
There are 43 seconds left in the game.
The score was 61:59, with the Thunder leading.
Zhou Yang quickly advanced with the ball, ready to grab one.
This has become Zhou Yang's habitual tactic, and some media and fans even call Zhou Yang's style of play "Second Brother Yang's attack".
Zhou Yang was near the center line, pretending to shoot, and the three Thunder players rushed over.
This scene sounds spectacular.
But Zhou Yang didn't make a shot, but passed the ball to Tony Allen who made an air cut.
Allen made a fast break to the basket, scored two points easily, and tied the score again.
This time the Warriors' fast break took only 5 seconds.
With 38 seconds left in the game, both sides have an opportunity to attack.
Durant shook his head angrily.
He couldn't figure out why every time Zhou Yang attacked, he scored a goal and gave him an extra chance to attack.
The Thunder attack.
Harden crossed half court again, slowly dribbling the ball at the top of the key.
This offense is very important, the Thunder must score in order to maintain the lead.
With 7 seconds left in the shot clock, Durant raised the high post again and blocked Curry.
Harden took advantage of the situation and rushed to the penalty area.
Since Harden and Durant had a cooperation just now, the Warriors' defense was a bit chaotic.
