Vol 3 Chapter 191: Unstoppable Thunder

The Thunder was able to take the lead in the first half, not beyond everyone's expectations.
The Thunder this season is capable of playing an advantage against all teams. Especially in the regular season, the intensity of the game did not reach the peak of the team. Those teams that are aspiring to the championship, there are always things that will not be shown during this time.
At present, it seems that the Warriors' "old men" did not play the level of the playoffs. Therefore, it is not enough for Curry, Thompson and Durant to deal with the thunder with all their strength.
Even if the Warriors eventually lose the game, it is normal. For the Warriors, this game is nothing more than one of their many regular seasons in a season. The Thunder play as a final. Therefore, as soon as the opening of the game, the Thunder desperately pressed the Warriors, especially Westbrook, he was extremely excited in this game, like a chicken blood. In addition, the Warriors didn't care too much about the Thunder's desperate style of play, and they have not been tight. Therefore, it is reasonable for them to be in a passive position.
Of course, in the third quarter, if the Warriors can find the feel, control their mistakes, and play their own rhythm. Then the outcome of this game is still five to five. Moreover, the Warriors' third quarter game really never disappointed.
During the intermission, Westbrook was not particularly happy when he returned to the locker room. In the last season, they did not have a half-time lead in the game against the Warriors. But to win in the end, only one of the four games. Westbrook knows the strength of the Warriors and he wants to win, so he is very calm now.
"We played well in the first half! Especially our defense was very successful. Next we have to stick to this intensity and make them pay a huge price for every point."
Donovan is still emphasizing defense. This is not that he doesn't care about offense, but that the current Thunder does not need him to worry about scoring. Westbrook sorted out the team's offense very well. Unlike the Warriors encountered last season, Westbrook has completely transformed himself from an all-around fighter into a super organizer. He has two teammates with super scoring ability around him, and he doesn't need to do everything.
Soon, the third quarter began, and the two sides changed sides to fight again.
The Warriors took the lead, Curry took possession of the ball from outside the three-point line, and Westbrook was very tight defensively. Klay Thompson slipped from the baseline to the right elbow, and after receiving a pass from Curry, he beat An Luo. It is a pity that An Luo's defense is not bad, his mid-range is angrily hit by An Luo's interference.
"Clay! I still didn't make a shot! One of seven shots! To him today, the Chesapeake Energy Arena basket seemed to be covered. No shots."
In China, this game is also being broadcast. After all, there are too many star players on these two teams. Many people like them. They are all gathered in the live broadcast room, with tens of millions of people.
"An Luo is really good at guarding! Thompson's series of fake moves didn't work. If Thompson wasn't tall enough, he might have been pressed down."
In terms of strength and fame, An Luo is nothing more than the second most star player on the field. But in China, he is the hottest superstar. Curry, Westbrook, Durant could not surpass him. I am afraid that only those guys like Jordan, Kobe, and James whose influence surpasses race and country can stabilize Anluo in the country.
Looking back, Westbrook tried the middle distance. But Green, who was also double-teamed, cut it off. From this point of view, the Warriors also strengthened their defensive strength.
In the first two minutes, apart from Curry throwing a goal against Paul George, both sides were hitting iron. Both teams with excellent offenses fought a defensive battle in this section.
The Thunder's defense hasn't changed much, it's still very outside. Their strategy is very clear, which is to hold down the Warriors' three muskets outside to limit the opponent's three-pointers. For this reason, they often let Green and Pachulia go directly. The Warriors are relatively harder. The three Thunder scorers ~EbookFREE.me~ In addition to Anlow, Westbrook and Paul George are both players with very strong breakthrough ability. Therefore, their line of defense is relatively inside. So, this gives Anlo and Paul George room to shoot three-pointers. This is also one of the reasons why the Thunder opened so fast.
With 9 minutes left in the game, Westbrook jumped inside and stopped a jumper. However, he was disturbed by the opponent and disrupted his shooting rhythm. As a result, when he passed the ball, Durant saw it through and stole it. However, Westbrook turned his head and grabbed the ball by himself.
Durant took the ball and advanced beyond the three-point line. But the chance was not good. When he passed the ball to Pachulia next to him, Westbrook didn't see it through. The latter jumped directly and broke the ball. Then rush directly across the center line. After crossing the free throw line, Westbrook stepped on the wind and flew directly, raising his right hand to easily slam the ball in.
"These two really know each other too much!"
After the ball, Westbrook stole Curry again and caused a foul on the layup, which was two plus one.
But the Thunder's offense was like a storm, and Durant was simply not able to resist it. Paul George and Anlow kept scoring, so Durant's efforts came to nothing. Then, after An Luo hit a three-pointer again, Westbrook waved his arms, then put his hands to his ears, listening to the huge cheers.
The atmosphere on the court has become more and more intense, and there has even been some friction between the two sides. The Warriors are also very opinionated about the referee's penalty. For this reason, Cole and Green each got a technical foul. However, this has not changed their passive situation.
In the end, with Paul George hitting a three-pointer, the Thunder led the opponent 97-71 at the end of the third quarter.
