Vol 3 Chapter 93: Malicious foul

　
　
　　->　->　　 According to Westbrook's temper, I must have found it back. The last time the two sides fought, he desperately blocked Durant is the best portrayal. This time Durant played him a two-plus-one, and the subsequent game must be very exciting.
　　 However, this opportunity was not found by Westbrook until the second half of the second quarter.
　　 Six minutes before the end of the first half, Donovan replaced his starting player. Only Westbrook was left alone on the court.
　　 In these two quarters, An Luo shared a lot of pressure for Westbrook. Although there has not yet been a situation where one enemy and several in the third quarter last time, his scoring is an important reason why the Warriors have been unable to gain the advantage. And on the defensive end, his defense also played a huge role.
　　 There are less than 3 minutes before the end of the second quarter. The Thunder trailed the Warriors by 3 points 48:51. Donovan just called a timeout and made some arrangements for the last few minutes of the first half.
　　 Back in the game, Westbrook advances with the ball. After passing the ball back and forth with An Luo from outside the three-point line, he rushed to the free throw line and faced Thompson's defense.
　　 The slight gap between the two sides was instantly wiped out.
　　 turned his head, Durant pulled up directly after receiving Green's pass and shot. But the goal was not scored! Kanter fouled Green while fighting for rebounds. Since the number of fouls by the Thunder has arrived, Green is on the free throw line.
　　 The first penalty missed. Green himself has some dissatisfaction. He took a deep breath, then dribbled the ball several times and made the second free throw firmly.
　　 The free throw ends and the game continues.
　　 This time, Westbrook didn't rush in anymore. In fact, since Cole adjusted his defensive strategy and Westbrook faced Thompson, his offensive lethality began to decline.
　　 However, Westbrook is not the only one who can score in the current Thunder.
　　 Curry can score anywhere in the half, which can involve the Thunder's great defensive power. But no one is perfect, his defense is indeed worse. Under normal circumstances, other Warriors can help him solve defensive problems, but the Thunder's guards are not good.
　　 Westbrook led Thompson into the post, and attracted the attention of the opponent's defense by the way. Seeing the momentum, An Luo plunged his head into the crowd, and then got out of the gap. Iguodala, who followed him, was first geared by Sabonis, and then squeezed past him and fell into two positions.
　　 Westbrook had already prepared. He switched the ball to the left hand, and then threw it to An Luo in the right corner. The latter had already set up a fort and received a basketball. Without a word, it was a heavy shelling.
　　 "Huh!"
　　 Basketball hit the net and the Thunder overtook the score.
　　 This is the real battle! Every offense is a hand-to-hand combat, and every point is not easy.
　　 So An Luo looked very excited. He quickly ran to the center circle to clap Westbrook, then retreated to the backcourt to defend.
　　 In the next few rounds, neither side was able to score. Each team has its own shortcomings. The Thunder's shooting percentage is not high, and the Warriors have made too many turnovers. But all of this is based on the tenacious defense of both sides.
　　 This is also what makes this game beautiful. The Warriors' Death Five meets Thunder's infinite change of defense, and is evenly matched.
　　 Towards the end of the first half, the Thunder got the chance to open the score again.
　　 After receiving Iguodala's pass, Thompson faced Anlo's defense and retreated to take a three-pointer. But the goal was also not scored. After Westbrook grabbed the rebound on Pachulia's head, he immediately launched a counterattack.
　　 Westbrook rushed quickly. Iguodala struggled to catch up with him, and was blocked by Kanter's pick and roll. Just as Westbrook accelerated and rushed into the interior, Pachulia, who had switched defenses, set up his elbow on his breakthrough route and slammed into Westbrook.
　　 Westbrook, who was hit, immediately fell to the ground, covering his face with his hands, looking very painful.
　　 An Luo rushed over immediately. He didn't go to the other party to reason. The action of Westbrook falling to the ground seemed too scary, and he was very worried.
　　 Pachulia, as the perpetrator, is very arrogant. After putting his opponent down, he looked down at Westbrook lying on the floor with a defiant expression.
　　 The referee's whistle sounded when Westbrook fell to the ground, but whether it was a normal foul or a malicious foul, it will be determined after they watch the video.
　　 Westbrook stood up from the ground with Anlow and Grant's hands. It seemed that there was no problem, and everyone on the Thunder side was relieved. Moreover, after he got up, there was no friction with Pachulia again. However, there is still a posture. Without even looking at the opponent, he turned to the free throw line.
　　 After the video playback, the referee finally determined that Pachulia's behavior was a malicious foul. Westbrook made two free throws, and the ball is still in the hands of the Thunder.
When the ball came out, Westbrook jumped to the basket, attracted the defense and then distributed the ball to Anlow who was outside the left three-point line~EbookFREE.me~ Facing Curry, he didn't have the slightest pressure. Just pull it up and cast it.
　　 The ball was just shot, and the whistle sounded at the end of the first half. An Luo kept staring at the flying basketball until it fell into the net bag.
　　 58: 52
　　 With a wave of 5:0 at the last minute, the Thunder gained a weak advantage in the first half.
　　 Westbrook and Durant performed very well in the first half. One showed his superb scoring ability and scored 20 points at halftime; the other was still all-around, 14 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists. At first glance, it was a three-quarter triple-double.
　　 In addition to these two "brothers", Curry and An Luo became the most powerful assistants around the two men. Curry made 4 three-pointers and scored 16 points. An Luo was even better. He scored 5 three-pointers from the bench and scored 17 points.
　　 Among other players, Oladipo 12 points, Kanter 10 points, Thompson 9 points, West 8 points...
　　 Generally speaking, the players on both sides performed well in the first half. The Warriors are mainly focused on Durant's body, and the Thunder is more even, a bit like a soldier.
　　 In the words of the commentators in the Tencent live broadcast room, this game is a typical Thunder vs. Warriors game. It's just that the Warrior who owned Durant became the former Thunder, and the Thunder who owned Anlor became the former Warrior. After all, it is a duel between a superstar and a team. As for who is stronger, only time will prove.
