Vol 3 Chapter 94: Win or lose


 
 
  -> ->   During the intermission, the Thunder players returned to the locker room under the leadership of Donovan.
   The atmosphere on the stadium is too warm! This has a great impact on the Thunder in away games. They just want to rest quietly for a while, after all, everyone is so tired.
   About Westbrook's fall, Donovan still has some fears. The moment Pachulia made just now was really cruel. Fortunately, it was Westbrook who was knocked down. If he were to switch to An Luo, he might actually lie down.
   Donovan still asked the team doctor who was accompanying him to check Westbrook, and he was relieved after he was sure that he was all right.
   After solving his worries, Donovan made some necessary arrangements for the second half of the game.
   Actually, their strategy in the first half was very effective. In Donovan's words, how well Durant played is how successful the Thunder are. After being separated from the Warriors' system by the Thunder, he played very freely, but at the same time it also restricted the performance of other players. After all, no matter how much you can play, there is only one ball.
   Durant somewhat limited Curry's play. But this is what the Warriors management understood from the beginning. If you want a championship, Durant is indispensable. They won the championship in 15 years, not because of how strong they are, but because the injured knight in the finals is too weak.
  The Warriors can only defeat all opponents if they really solve the problem of mutual restriction between Durant and his original system. Otherwise, the situation in the first half will appear many times. In the end they may still win, but the game will be very difficult. And if it is not resolved, they will be more and more difficult in the subsequent games.
   And Donovan and Thunder just added some oil for them to complete the process faster. In the end, it is the Warriors themselves. From this perspective, the Thunder is also helping the Warriors grow!
   In the second half, easy side to fight again.
   Warriors have the ball and Curry advances with the ball. It was Westbrook who was staring at him. After adapting in the first two quarters, Donovan also felt the referee's penalty scale. As a result, the Thunder's defensive strength has become a bit stronger.
   Curry's rhythm was interrupted by Westbrook. He was also decisive, hanging the ball directly to Pachulia who was standing in the penalty loop. After the latter caught the ball, he turned around and hit the basket against Kanter, looking very vicious.
   But Kanter is not a fuel-efficient lamp. The last time he met the Warriors, he was the first person to face Durant. In the face of the fierce Pachulia, Kanter didn't have a hard top. He gave the opponent to a low position little by little, and then clung to the opponent. When Pachulia layup, Kanter was a big cap.
   Westbrook rushed to grab a rebound before Green, then turned the horse's head and launched a counterattack.
   Oladipo moved faster than him, rushing to the three-point line in the blink of an eye. Westbrook took two steps forward and threw it directly.
The force and angle of the ball pass were just right. Oladipo didn't even pause after receiving the ball. He rushed into the free throw line while holding the ball, then jumped up with his right leg, raised the fire, and split the ball into it. The basket.
   60: 52
   It seems that the Thunder still maintained their fighting spirit in the first half. Westbrook is always at the forefront, breaking through, rebounding, and defending.
   An Luo can only cheer for his teammates off the court. Along with him was Grant who started the first half. This guy, maybe it was the first time he was not used to starting, and he played a little dauntingly. Did not show his true strength.
   Come back, Curry assisted Green, but Robertson made an offensive foul.
   What is interesting is that when the referee's whistle sounded, Green thought it was a Robertson defensive foul. But then I saw the referee's hand gestures, and was so angry.
   But in the NBA, the referee is the biggest in a game. The league's zero-tolerance regulations make these people the real "god of the court". A slight dissatisfaction is a technical foul or even direct expulsion.
   yelled a few words, and Green had no choice but to leave. However, when looking at the Thunder players, the eyes were full of cruelty.
   The right to the ball once again returned to the Thunder's hands. Westbrook quickly drove the ball over and rushed to the inside with Kanter's screen. But Green, who was defending the defense, directly pushed forward, acting very rudely.
   Westbrook is never afraid of confrontation. But he did not come up! Holding the ball in his right hand, he went around behind the opponent and delivered the ball to Sabonis who was emptied. After receiving the ball, the latter jumped easily and slammed the ball in.

   Less than a minute in the second half, the Thunder had already pulled the score to double digits!
   Cole called a timeout. He is quite dissatisfied with the performance of the players on both ends of the offense and defense during this period. He specifically allowed Durant to rest off the court for a while, allowing Curry and Green to take the original Warriors lineup against the Thunder.
  Who knows, these players seem to be accustomed to having Durant such a stable scoring point~EbookFREE.me~ Especially when they are in trouble, they seem to have forgotten how they solved the problem last year.
   This is the problem the Warriors need to solve!
   Donovan is satisfied with the performance of his players. He continued to emphasize defense and passing the ball. Ensure that both offense and defense are at their own pace.
   Pausing and returning, there is no change in personnel on both sides. Curry received the ball from Pachulia and advanced to the top of the arc one meter away from the three-point line. Green pulled out and did him a pick and roll. Westbrook walked around directly. But Curry just flicked a shot and didn't rush in towards the front right. He pulled the ball back from behind, and with the help of Green's pick-and-roll, he returned to the original position and took a three-pointer.
   Westbrook can't retreat at this time, and can only watch Curry throw the ball in.
   Cole’s timeout seems to have worked. Upon his return, Curry scored 7 points in a row, bringing the score closer. Donovan quickly called a timeout. This time the timeout is just to interrupt the opponent's shooting touch. After all, if Curry shots, it will be difficult to limit it.
   After the timeout, Donovan put Anro and Grant on the court. Seeing Durant on the field, he re-positioned Grant to the fifth position and continued to play the five small lineup.
   The following game returned to the first half. Durant still has no answer, and the Thunder offensive is fierce. You come and I go, and the score has risen. As long as one side leads by more than 5 points, someone on the other side will stand up and pull the score back. No one will let the opponent lead for a long time.
