Vol 3 Chapter 294: Prevail

"OKC~"
"OKC~"
"OKC~"
...
Westbrook's dunk once again ignited the atmosphere of the entire Chesapeake Energy Arena. Fans began to excitement shouting the slogan of the city, the sound seemed to lift the roof of the arena.
Westbrook and An Luo, who walked out of the three-point line with a domineering step, collided in the air. It can be seen that he is quite happy. Since the previous conflict with Green, Westbrook has been full of upset. In the past few minutes of the game, he played very upset and suppressed his emotions all the time. This time, I finally let out a sigh of relief!
Next, the Thunder played even stronger. Durant's shot was interrupted by Paul George, who helped defend, and hit the edge of the basket. After Westbrook got the rebound, a fast break started immediately. The basketball passed a few times between the Thunder players, and finally came to An Luo's hands. When Westbrook started, Anlow and Paul George quickly went to the front court from left to right. After covering each other, An Luo found a vacancy in the bottom left corner. After he received the ball, his left foot did not move, and his right foot exerted a little force. Thompson, who rushed up in a hurry, was kicked out by him. Then, he quickly dribbled the ball on the spot and then threw the ball out.
"Huh~"
The goal is scored!
After a wave of 5:0, the Thunder once again pulled the score apart. But Cole still looked at ease. His team is 9 points behind! But he didn't seem to feel anything. But this is also normal, the Warriors this season rarely play a big advantage in the first half. Falling behind at half time has become accustomed to them!
But then, Curry made a three-pointer to help the Warriors stabilize the situation. Or take a step forward after the pick and roll. Curry's shot speed is really fast! Roberson's defense is already in place, but he still can't keep up.
As the basketball fell into the net bag, Curry was also very happy! He finally made the first three-pointer of the game and couldn't help but shake his shoulders! Coincidentally, it happened to meet An Luo who ran over. It just so happened that this shot was caught by the live director again! Immediately, there was a neat boo in the arena.
An Luo didn't think there was anything. After he made a three-pointer, he often made some moves. But those who watch the excitement don't think so! Everyone likes to see the stars on both sides face off. Whether it is a dunk or a three-pointer, as long as the match is made, the game will become exciting. What's more, Anluo and Curry are definitely the top two players in the league's three-point field. There are countless people who want to see these two players fight three-pointers!
However, everyone will not see the wonderful performance of the two in this section! In the next few minutes, the coaches of both sides began to rotate their bench players. Anlow, Westbrook, Curry and Durant are the first players to rest. This is a protracted battle, and Kerr and Donovan are not coaches like D'Antoni.
With Paul George missed a three-pointer at the buzzer, the first quarter ended. Under the excellent performance of Paul George and Brewer, the Thunder withstood the offense from the Warriors' bench and stabilized their lead. In the end, they entered the second round with a 34:28 lead by 6 points.
Westbrook, Durant and Anlo were the three best players in the first quarter. The reason why the Warriors are behind, the Thunder's defense has done a great job. Especially outside defense, the effect is very significant. Curry and Thompson were unable to perform the same in the last two games, and Durant was also alone. In contrast, the Warriors' defense did not reach the pre-game imagination. Especially for Anlo's restrictions, they are not as good as the Pelicans. So much so that Anluo made 3 three-pointers in more than 7 minutes of the first quarter.
"Come on, guys!"
Before the start of the second quarter, Westbrook did not forget to cheer for his teammates. As the head star of this arena, this is what he needs to do well. He is in good form today, whether it is scoring, passing, or even defense. In fact, on this court, every time he meets the Warriors, he does a good job.
In this section, Westbrook, Anlow and Robertson took the lead with two Kanter and Grant. Robertson returned to the more outside position 3. Both Paul George and Adams need to rest. They played for too long in the first quarter!
For the Warriors, Cole kept Curry, Thompson, and Green on the bench for the time being. Only let Durant and Iguodala take a rotation to deal with the Thunder. This lineup is enough for the Splash Brothers to rest!
However, this section of the Warriors still has a problem! But the problem is not in the first half.
At the beginning, the Warriors started offensive around Durant~EbookFREE.me~ The ball power was basically concentrated on him. With his physical condition and technical ability, hitting anyone is dislocation. As long as he jumps up and throws the ball, basically no one can interfere with him! If you want to prevent it, you must stick to him all the time, withstand his bottom plate, constantly interfere with small movements, and at the same time anger him in words. As long as he interrupts his rhythm, there will be an effect. Durant's mentality is his biggest weakness!
But Thunder does not have such a person! Whether it's Robertson, Paul George or Anlow, they are not the kind of crazy dog ​​defensive player.
In the first 5 minutes of the second quarter, the point difference on the field has been maintained at around 5 points. Thunder also saw the other party's plan. They couldn't help it anyway, they were lucky enough to focus their defense on other Warriors players and let Durant go singles. Then put the main energy on the offensive end. Under this strategy, an unusually harmonious situation has rarely appeared on the court!
But this situation was broken after Curry, Thompson and Green played! Curry, eager to help the team recover the score, took up a lot of ball rights. But his efficiency did not change much because of the three-pointer in the first quarter. He still feels bad!
That's the problem! Durant feels good, but a good part of the ball has been divided. The Warriors' scoring efficiency dropped a lot. On the other hand, Thunder did not suffer much. When Paul George and Adams got enough rest, the Thunder's lineup instantly evolved to the strongest state.
After a wave of 12:5, the Thunder widened the points difference to as much as 15 points! Cole had to call a timeout. He naturally understood what was wrong with his team. But wanting to adjust well is really a bit of a headache.
