The situation of the game changed suddenly. The explosion of the Splash Brothers ignited the atmosphere in the Oracle Arena, and the Warriors regained the initiative in the game.
Donovan's head is a bit bigger now. The Thunder didn't have much problem with offense and defense, but they just couldn't hold the opponent and felt good. Players like Curry, as long as the touch comes up, it ignores the existence of defense. There is quite a feeling that the bullets are within range and there is no empty shot.
As a head coach, they are the most difficult to deal with this situation. If there is a problem with offense and defense, you can adjust, replace, and arrange targeted tactics. But they can't limit the touch of the other party. Can only limit shots, but now the Warriors feel hot not one, but two. They are all players who can attack from midfield. At this time, if you want to retreat under the explosion of water, An Luo must stand up. Paul George was resting off the court, and he had to wait for Durant.
Fight against! Since there is a problem with how to defend, then look for a solution to the problem from the offensive end. For counter-scoring, I also score, to see who persists to the end. Of course, there is no alternative. Donovan told his players this idea during the timeout. Prior to this, the Thunder had always been an insider offense. An Luo is on the court against Ran, but his role is more in providing tactical help to his teammates. Of course, he wouldn't hesitate if the opportunity appeared before his eyes.
After returning from the timeout, the Thunder began to attack An Luo under the tandem of Westbrook.
An Luo was still the same as before, running around the court with Thompson. It seems that what he did has not changed. But now, other Thunder players have given him enough support. He used Robertson and Adams' double screen to get rid of the chasers behind him, and took the ball at a 45-degree angle from the three-point line. At this time, Iguodala had to let go of the marking of Brewer and make up to defend Anlo. If it had been before, Anlo would pass the basketball to Brewer immediately. But this time, he threw the ball before Iguodala could jump.
In terms of speed, An Luo is no slower than Curry.
"Huh~"
The goal is scored! At this time, An Luo could reassure Donovan. But An Luo's scoring can only help the Thunder bite the score. After all, in the current situation, neither side has made every effort. The decisive moment has not yet arrived.
At the end of the third quarter, Curry once again assisted Thompson to hit a three-pointer. The score on the court was rewritten to 92:91, with the Thunder behind. The Warriors finally overtook the score. Although it was only one point ahead, it was done with a maximum of 15 points behind. It's not easy!
Westbrook received Adams's serve and quickly advanced to the frontcourt. With 9 seconds left in this quarter, they still have a chance to regain the lead.
The Warriors' retreat was slightly slower. Westbrook grabbed the opponent's space and rushed directly to the basket. Put the ball into the basket. With a little time left, Green sent the ball directly to Curry outside the three-point line. After receiving the ball, the latter made a super-long three-pointer directly in front of the center line.
93:92. Although the Thunder led by one point, they lost a lot in this quarter.
Due to the outstanding performance of the Splash Brothers in the second half, Durant got plenty of rest. This has accumulated enough power for him to kill the Quartet in the fourth quarter.
In the last quarter of the game, the Warriors turned on fire. Curry and Thompson still feel hot. Especially Curry, he made a long three-pointer as soon as he came up.
After Green sent the baseline ball, he followed Curry to the center line and made a pick-and-roll. Curry was next to Robertson, stepped to the front right, pulled up and shot the basketball. You know, he took off at least two meters away from the three-point line! Although more and more people are throwing this kind of ball, the feeling is still very shocking.
With such a super long three-pointer, An Luo can do nothing! However, Westbrook responded with a folded layup. Although he is not as good as Curry in the field of three-pointers, there is more than one score.
After the start of the last quarter, both sides are in good condition. However, after a stalemate for 3 minutes, the situation changed. All this starts with Durant's block shot against Westbrook.
After Curry made another three-pointer, Westbrook desperately wanted to get back on the offensive end. In this minute, his offense contributed a lot of points for the Thunder. This time the offense was the same. After rushing in through the cover, Westbrook avoided Pachulia's supplementary defense with a large European step that was not graceful. Then he flew up, exerted force with the fingers of his right hand, and pushed the ball towards the basket.
Durant retreated into the post after Westbrook had a zero screen. So opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. Obviously, Durant was well prepared~EbookFREE.me~ He slapped the ball to the backboard! Then quickly jumped up again, and collected the rebounded basketball into his bag.
At this time, Durant did not go to Curry either. He pushed the ball directly, then hit the elbow from the right three-point line, and made a jump shot.
A dragon across the offensive and defensive ends, for the first time helped the Warriors widen the point difference to 3 points.
After this block, the Thunder's offense has declined significantly. With the exception of Westbrook, Paul George and Adams scoring at the basket, all shots missed the basket, whether it was mid-range or three-pointers, whether it was Paul George or Adams. The inaccuracy of other players made An Luo's situation, who had always been stable, a bad one. Thompson has always been next to him, plus Green who is always supporting him. He didn't have any chance to shoot.
In just 5 minutes, the Thunder went from leading by 1 point to 10 points behind! Donovan called a timeout in the middle, but the adjustments he made did not work well.
The entire Oracle Stadium is boiling. The Warriors' performance in the second half gave them hope. The fighting spirit displayed by the players allowed everyone to see the 73-win Warrior. After Curry made another three-pointer, Donovan had to call a timeout.
"We don't seem to be able to play anymore! Russell, you must stand up and sort out the team's offense. We have been playing very messy during this time!" Donovan said to his players seriously: "Remember ourselves The rhythm! The defensive end is placed according to our arrangement, don't follow the opponent to run around!"
The game is like this, unpredictable. Just like Thunder, he had a slight advantage before, and the initiative is still in his own hands. Unexpectedly, within a few minutes, the situation suddenly became severe!
