Vol 3 Chapter 23: Tit for tat

　　 The entire second quarter of the game was in a situation where you come and I go. Whether it is the overall offensive and defensive effects of the two teams, or the performance of the players, no one can completely overwhelm the other.
　　 Especially Westbrook and Durant, they are even more tit-for-tat. You play one, I pay one; you assist teammates to score, I will certainly respond. You hat me one, and I will definitely pay it back.
　　 Nearly halfway through the second quarter, Westbrook rushed to the Warriors basket one by one, but Durant was shot directly. Westbrook didn't say anything, but he focused on organizing the team's offense, just like a okay person.
　　 But three minutes later, Durant made a single shot for Grant, and Westbrook fell from the sky to send a big cap.
　　 Looking at Westbrook yelling up to the sky, An Luo realized that this guy had never forgotten this thing in his heart!
　　 An Luo played for 9 minutes in the second quarter before being replaced by Oladipo. Christon played less time today, showing that Donovan still values ​​this game.
　　 Oladipo did not perform well today. After all, back-to-back games, the last game in Los Angeles counted him playing long. It’s normal to be tired today. However, he still made his own contribution in the last two minutes of the first half.
　　 first assisted Adams for a layup, then Westbrook assisted and hit a three-pointer.
　　 Therefore, with the excellent performance of all the Thunder players, the Warriors have not been able to gain an advantage.
　　 With Durant's three-pointer at the buzzer before the end of the first half, the Warriors entered the halftime with a 2 point lead over the Thunder.
　　 Although the game only played halftime, everyone, including the Warriors fans, looked at this Thunder with admiration. When it comes to star power, a Westbrook is far inferior to the star-studded Warriors.
　　 But it’s amazing how the game is now. It is true that the play of the weak over the strong is not considered a rare play in the NBA, but it is often based on one party's abnormal performance or the other's extraordinary performance. The performances of the Warriors tonight are remarkable. And for Thunder, no one was particularly outstanding!
　　 The best performance in the first half was naturally Durant. In, 6 of 7 three-pointers, 1 of 1 free throw, scored 29 points! The efficiency is terribly high!
　　 even the off-court commentator Chris Webb practiced and exclaimed, this guy is really good at his old club! In fact, in the entire league, players are always able to perform better than the old players.
　　 Among the remaining starters, Green 7 points and 8 rebounds, Curry 13 points and 5 assists, Thompson 6 points, Pachulia 4 points and 7 rebounds.
　　 On the Thunder side, Westbrook had 4 of 10, 12 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks. As always, all-around, but offensive efficiency is very average. In this regard, he is inferior to Durant. The rest of the players, Oladipo 10 points, Adams 11 points and 3 rebounds, Sabonis 6 points and 4 rebounds, Anlo 12 points, 1 rebound and 1 steal.
　　 Without a doubt, it was a sufficiently exciting game. For the audience watching this game, today’s game is really worth it! This kind of matchless competition is what everyone is more willing to see. Of course, Warriors fans may not be among them.
　　 "Guys, we played well in the first half! But the game has just begun!"
　　 During the intermission, Donovan was in the locker room, patiently arranging the second half tactics.
"Andre, you have to keep an eye on Kevin. We all know what he can do in the game, but we also know how to restrict him! You don't have to worry about other people, just hold him up. ."
"Russell, I know what you think. But I believe that all of us want to win this victory. You have to trust your teammates and organize your offense instead of solving all problems alone. You have to pay more attention to the positions of Victor and Ann. You know, they can score."
　　……
　　 At this time, no one wants to lose the game! You know, this game is broadcast nationwide! Outside the Oracle Arena, more people are paying attention to this game. In addition to star players such as Durant, Westbrook and Curry, rookies such as Anlow and Sabonis have officially entered the sight of the American public.
　　 In the second half, easy side to fight again. The players on both sides did not make any adjustments, they are all regular starters.
　　 Curry went to the front court and misplaced Adams. For those top guards, there is no difficulty in playing small. But Curry didn't fight by himself. He drove twice to the right and then passed the ball to Green with one blow. After the latter receives the ball and takes off, he must split the ball into the basket.
　　 But there is someone flying higher than him! Robertson came first, and a nail-board hat from behind Green proved his worth. The rebound was grabbed by Westbrook, and he rushed to the frontcourt as if stepping on a hot wheel.
　　The capped Green ran fast. Robertson's behavior made him very shameless, how can he not get it back! But in this round, he didn't have any chance. The rushing Westbrook was unstoppable! Facing Durant~EbookFREE.me~ he took a large European step, swayed the opponent lightly, and scored the ball.
　　 Then, Curry's intention to connect Durant with the ball was seen through by Westbrook, and he hijacked the basketball halfway. A long pass was passed directly to Adams, who had not yet run over. The latter took the ball and scored an easy layup.
　　 Thunder's offense was as strong as it was at the beginning of the first half.
　　 This is due to their defense. The two consecutive offenses were defensive counterattacks. This is something Donovan has been emphasizing, based on defense. It is particularly important when the offensive efficiency is not high.
　　 The thunder is the first to catch people, and the momentum is very strong. But the Warriors are the Warriors after all. When Durant was caught in the entanglement with Robertson and couldn't get out of it, Curry stepped up and did what he should do as the number one star.
He first got rid of Westbrook's defense by relying on his running position and hit his first three-pointer in the game; then in the next round, he was in the same place again, with Green's screen, and then shot a cold arrow. . Although he did not score, he caused a foul by Sabonis, who was replaced, and won three free throws.
　　 The entire third quarter of the game is completely a replica of the first two quarters. Especially after Anluo replaced Oladipo on the field, the double-anti firepower net spread throughout the stadium. You throw one, I throw one; you vote one, I vote one. No one is far behind.
　　 Interestingly, Durant and Westbrook have a very low sense of presence in this quarter. The former has been entangled with Robertson, and you come and spew trash talk. The latter puts energy into passing and defense.
