Vol 3 Chapter 481: Narrowly win

99:100, the away team is first, the home team is behind.
After a chaos, the Thunder finally overtook the score. Although only 1 point, but at this critical moment, it is enough to give the Thunder a great advantage.
At this time, the Warriors became nervous! The Thunder gave them 22 seconds, which seemed to be plenty, but it was definitely not easy. They must face the Thunder's toughest defense.
Kerr called a timeout immediately after Anlo dropped the ball. At this time, all the players on the field were very impatient and made mistakes if they didn't pay attention to the chance. Therefore, he must interfere. Call a timeout, let everyone calm down, and then arrange this critical attack. Even if Curry is not on the court, the Warriors do not lack players who can end offense. What Kerr has to do is to make these players understand what they are doing and how to do it.
"Listen, we now have plenty of time to complete the next offense. Kevin and Clay, you have to be prepared. Once the basketball comes to your hands, you must end the offense! Go inside, We only need 2 points to win the game. Find a way to get close to the basket and kill the game! Others will cover you..."
With that, Cole took out his tactical board and began to draw up tactics. Durant, Thompson and other players all gathered around him, listening carefully. Although this is the first game of the series, it is very important for both sides. The Warriors win, whether in terms of situation or momentum, is a very big lead. After all, they are playing away games and are at a disadvantage.
"Draymond and Kevin, you are responsible for protecting the rebounds. Once the offense fails, you must grab the rebounds. After grabbing the ball, you must complete the second offense as soon as possible. If there is no chance, look for the basket. Chance to pass the ball to Klay and Kevin..."
The Warriors are intensively arranging the last offense, and the Thunder are also surrounded by Donovan, listening to him deploying this defense.
"Guys, we are only ahead by one point now. The situation is not optimistic! They only need a two-pointer to take the game away. We must not be careless and must not make any mistakes."
Donovan first emphasized the situation of course. In fact, he is not particularly worried about the abilities of the players. After all, the defensive abilities of players such as Westbrook, Paul George, Anlow, Grant and Noelle are quite good. What he worries about is the mentality of the players. At this time, any carelessness and negligence will ruin everyone's efforts throughout the game. Therefore, he first emphasized to the players. Then, he began to analyze the possible situation.
"There is no doubt that they will choose to play a two-pointer. After all, the success rate of breaking to the basket and ending the offense is much higher. Therefore, our defense line has to shrink inward. As long as they rush in, we must give them the most Tough defense. At this time, stronger physical confrontation will put great pressure on the opponent. Paul, Kevin will leave it to you. Jeremy will help you at any time. Ann, you are responsible for staring Clay Live. Once the inside space is not good, he is likely to be the opponent's first choice to end the offense. Russell..."
"Beep..."
Pause time, fleeting. When the whistle was blown by the referee again, the most critical offensive and defensive round of the game began!
Rooney is now serving a touchline from the sidelines. The other Warriors players started to run in an instant, followed by the Thunder players.
Noelle now waved his hands wide open before Rooney. Rooney tried several times, but didn't let the ball go. Seeing that he was about to serve a violation, Cook suddenly rushed to the other side of the center line with Durant's "screen". Rooney threw the ball hard to avoid a mistake.
Cook brought the ball over and controlled time from the left three-point line. They want to take the game away directly, not only to complete this offense, but also to leave enough time for the Thunder to counterattack.
With 10 seconds left, everyone in the Warriors moved. Green came to the top of the arc and he made a cover for Cook. The latter rushed to the inside and went straight to the basket. However, Noelle and Grant retreated very quickly, and he didn't dare to bite the bullet and go. After a few dribbles in, Cook passed the ball to Green. The latter received the ball without stopping and threw it directly to Thompson who cut to the left of the free throw line.
At this time, Thompson just took the screen and got rid of An Luo's defense. Moreover, Westbrook has not yet reached the best defensive position. After Thompson received the ball, he pulled up and threw the ball without delay for half a second. In fact, there are nearly 6 seconds left at this time. But Thompson didn't want to miss this opportunity!
It is a pity that ~EbookFREE.me~ Thompson has the heart to be a hero, but he did not live as a hero! Perhaps he was too impatient, or Westbrook rushed to cause him an effective interference. The basketball that Thompson threw directly hit the front of the basket and bounced toward the free throw line with a bang.
However, the Warriors grabbed a rebound.
Green rushed in from the top of the arc the moment Thompson shot. He jumped high and put the balloon in his bag.
At this time, Durant's position in the right elbow is very good. He got Paul George stuck behind him, Noelle and Grant rushed to the free throw line for rebounding, leaving the penalty area empty.
"Give me the ball! Give me the ball!"
Durant reached out and shouted. He has the confidence that as long as he receives the ball, he can kill the game.
But Green did not pass the ball to him. After controlling the ball, Green didn't even think about it and passed the ball directly to Thompson outside the three-point line. After Thompson received the ball, there was not enough time for him to pass the ball. Can only bite the bullet and force an attack against An Luo.
After the ball is shot, the game time is over. At that moment, everyone's eyes focused on the orange ball.
"boom!"
There were no accidents in this ball. Anluo's defense was excellent enough that he almost covered the ball directly.
The final score is fixed at 100:99. The Thunder narrowly defeated the Warriors by one point and took the lead in the Western Conference Finals.
The fans on the scene burst into huge cheers, and Chesapeake Energy Arena fell into a carnival after that. Although this is only a victory, it is also very difficult to win. But for Thunder fans, this means that the Thunder are getting closer to the championship step by step.
