-> -> Cole called a timeout, he was under great pressure now.
With Durant joining this summer, their strength has been greatly improved. But they were met with ridicule and criticism from the entire league. It was originally a championship-level team. Without losing its strength, it also reinforced one of the league's strongest scorers. It's ugly to eat!
If you want to be respected, you can only rely on one victory after another.
But the beginning of the story is not good. In addition to a big win over the Trail Blazers, the Warriors used a lot of effort to win the game, whether it was the Suns or the Pelicans. Let alone lose to the Spurs in the first game!
This scene should have been a big victory against the "broken" Thunder! But who knows, it was so hard. More importantly, it may not be won.
In the end, Cole gave the ball to Durant. After all, when Durant was attacking with the ball in this game, the Thunder have always been in a passive state; what's more, Cole felt that Durant should give the Warriors an explanation. After all, he signed him to prevent the team from starting. Under the circumstances, give full play to personal strength and lead the team to victory.
Donovan also guessed Cole's arrangement. In the toughest time, handing the ball to Durant is what he has been doing last year. He knew Durant's abilities.
"Andre, Durant will leave it to you! You know how to influence his scoring."
He didn't emphasize to Robertson how to defend. Durant has almost no shortcomings on the technical level. But this man has a serious problem: when he doesn't have a good shooting feel, he likes to compete with himself. If you don't believe in evil, you keep casting, and the result is always hitting the iron.
This is actually a question of mentality. Robertson knows how to influence him.
Pause back, the Warriors have the ball.
Curry pushed forward with the ball, Westbrook followed very closely, as long as he focused on defense, the effect was very good. After a lap, Westbrook did not escape. So Curry gave the ball to Durant.
Robertson immediately stuck it up. He is a little shorter than Durant, but he is stronger. He arched his waist and pressed Durant's bottom set, making him feel uncomfortable with the ball. Then his left hand was stuck to the opponent's waist in a calm manner, affecting its force. The right hand stretches out high to interfere with the opponent's possession of the ball and prevent it from passing out.
No one went up to double-team. The two historic shooters on the outside of the Warriors make Durant almost never fall into a double-team situation. Therefore, Robertson’s burden is very heavy.
Fortunately, he did a good job.
Durant was very uncomfortable, he reached out and tried to push Robertson away. But this action was taken advantage of by the opponent. Although Robertson staggered and fell to the floor, although it was slightly exaggerated, it still deceived the referee's eyes.
"Beep!"
Offensive foul!
Durant was surprised! What the is this Nima? He put his head in his hands, his face was puzzled!
The referee did not listen to his explanation. Roberson stood up under Westbrook's "support" and ran to the front. When passing by Durant, Robertson whispered a word to Durant, so angry that Durant's goatee went up to the sky.
"Soft egg!"
Westbrook is more than one Thunder player who has opinions on Durant!
Thunder touches the ball, Westbrook takes the ball beyond the three-point line. Adams still came to the high position and gave him a pick and roll. But this time Westbrook did not feed him the ball again. Of course he himself did not go to the basket.
After Westbrook got rid of Curry and went inside, Adams moved to the left elbow area and made a pick-and-roll for An Luo who ran over. His physique was big enough that Thompson couldn't get past it.
And Green has already chased Westbrook to the basket. An Luo broke through the siege and was unguarded.
At this time Westbrook, there is Pachulia in front and Green in the back. It must be impossible to force it, maybe you have to eat a hat! But he saw An Luo, so he stopped, faked a real pass, and delivered the ball to An Luo. The latter shot the ball without hesitation.
The basketball fell into the net bag accurately, and An Luo hit a three-pointer again! The Thunder tied the score.
After the goal, An Luo looked very excited. As he quickly retreated, he had a passionate collision with Westbrook. In this game, he has already scored 8 three-pointers! Many records were broken.
Then, Durant met Robertson again. Seeing Westbrook's excitement just now, he was uncomfortable. Perhaps most people in this world hope that their ex will not live so well after breaking up! Moreover, Robertson's words just now ignited the anger in his heart. He must let these guys see how good he is!
He took the initiative to ask for the ball outside the three-point line. Green didn't want to give it to him, but because other people didn't have a good chance, he passed the ball. Not many Warriors players welcome Durant so much.
After receiving the ball, Durant turned slightly and turned his back to Robertson. This time, he chose to fight back!
This is actually a very secure one-on-one offensive method, not easy to be intercepted and interfered. But Robertson is stronger than him! He has to work hard to withstand it. But when Robertson suddenly closed, Durant was staggered. Although he didn't fall, his basketball was cut off by the opponent~EbookFREE.me~ It was a perfect one-off defense.
Durant is too anxious, he wants to show it! Even if he is good enough tonight!
After was intercepted, he grabbed Robertson's jersey, and the latter made a lot of money, and the two suddenly fell into a ball.
The contradiction finally occurs, but the protagonists are not Durant and Westbrook. Fortunately, Robertson and Durant were just on their foreheads, spraying trash talking to each other.
Anluo, Curry and others hurriedly pulled the two apart and played back to play, but they couldn't fight.
The referees each played a board, and one technical foul per person. As the Warriors fouled the number of times, Robertson got to the free throw line.
After steadily scoring two free throws, the Thunder once again took the lead!
Come back, Green no longer gives the ball to Durant. After all, he has made two mistakes in a row. But as Cousin missed a three-pointer against Westbrook, the initiative once again returned to the Thunder.
Still the same cooperation, Westbrook scored inside with Adams's screen and carried Green to score. The Thunder led by 4 points. Subsequently, Durant finally did not entangle with Robertson again. After he tried to shake Robertson at the top of the arc and failed, he scored the ball to Curry in the bottom corner, who took the ball and shot, and finally hit!
121:120
Thunder is still 1 point ahead, only 36 seconds left in the game!
However, the ball is still in the Thunder's hands. Donovan finally called himself the last timeout, the ball must be scored!
