Vol 3 Chapter 298: pressure

Sudden mistakes, even Paul George himself was a little surprised. But his movements didn't stop, and he crossed the center line with the ball. At this time, Westbrook and Anluo quickly rushed to the frontcourt, and the Warriors' Green and Durant followed closely behind.
After Paul George rushed into the three-point line, he was pressed into the offensive rhythm by Green. The latter speeded up and surpassed him, occupying a favorable position. George had to pass the ball to Westbrook near the top of the arc. Then he leaned quickly to the top of the arc and made a cover for Westbrook. At this time, Green could only change defense to chase Westbrook, and he did not hesitate to lone An Luo from the three-point line. In a three-on-two situation, it is reasonable for him to choose to defend an attacker closer to the basket. Westbrook knew Anro's position, so when Green leaned in, he passed the ball.
After An Luo received the ball, he raised his hand a little. Durant who rushed over was called over. Then An Luo raised his hand and threw the ball out.
"Huh~"
The basketball was hollow into the net, and in the second half of the last quarter, the Thunder came out 7:0. 54:58, they are only 4 points behind now! The situation was gradually reversed by the Thunder.
However, Curry then returned to color. After receiving the ball, he did not call the screen as before, but kept holding the ball looking for opportunities. After dribbling the ball continuously, he suddenly rushed to the right. After Robertson moved with him, he immediately pulled the ball back and retreated to the other side. Then push the ball out at extreme speed!
"Huh~"
Curry also scored three points!
Although both of them made the first three-pointers in this game. But the feeling of tit-for-tat came out all at once. The atmosphere of the Chesapeake Energy Arena was instantly ignited! Everyone waited for a round and a half soaring points, and finally came out in this quarter!
For a long time to come, Curry and An Luo became the focus of the field. Although both sides have adopted a very targeted defense, but for these two top three-pointers, shots only need so little space. They can seize any opportunity, especially when the hand feels good, it feels like how to vote. Even the ball that seemed to be thrown indiscriminately before the defense was scored several times.
There were boos and cheers in the arena.
After Curry made a 3-pointer with a retreat step, An Luo turned his head to return it. After catching the ball from the center line, he was close to the three-point line and pulled up with Adams's screen. Afterwards, Curry made an extra ball from the three-point line again, used his flexibility to sway Robertson, then raised his hand a little and made a three-pointer foul. Curry walked to the free throw line and scored three goals steadily. Not to be outdone, Anlo first made a false pass after receiving the ball and assisted Adams for a layup; then under the continuous cover of Adams and Robertson, he succeeded on the outside again.
Throughout the third quarter, Anluo and Curry were very active and took quite a few shots. Of course, their efficiency is also very high! Anlo made 6 of 10 three-pointers and scored 20 points in a single quarter; Curry did not make too much, 5 of 9 shots and scored 18 points. The other players are more involved in the offensive process, giving the two men the opportunity to shoot and pull out the shooting space.
These two are also the only players on the two teams who have not rested. It seems that the coaches on both sides are not willing to break that atmosphere. For players like Anluo and Curry, rhythm is very important.
At the end of the third quarter, An Luo patted Curry on the butt, and then said to him: "Man, I shot 6 and you shot 5! This round, I won!"
"The game is not over!" Curry didn't argue about anything. He just shrugged his shoulders and replied lightly. Then he gritted his braces and left.
Both teams played more on offense in this quarter. After all, the Warriors and the Thunder are very familiar with the situation of a wave of games in the third quarter. The score is temporarily fixed at 90:89. In this quarter, the Thunder reversed their disadvantage and led by 1 point. However, the situation of the game is still very anxious. For the Warriors, it takes at least a 20-point lead to breathe a sigh of relief.
The match is played to this extent, to a large extent depends on the state of the players on both sides. After all tactics, both sides have already understood almost. Both are well-informed opponents, and the two head coaches are not general, and all the changes are clear. The next thing they do is to direct on the spot.
In the last quarter of the game, Anluo and Curry both took a short break off the court. The situation on the court still remains at a level. Durant is still constantly breaking through, shooting and scoring. In the Thunder, Paul George and Adams are steadily providing firepower output under the tandem of Westbrook.
"OKC!"
"OKC!"
"OKC!"
...
When Westbrook threw himself into the air again and caused Green to foul ~EbookFREE.me~ Chesapeake Energy Arena sounded a deafening shout. People here don't like to call "MVP", even if Westbrook is already a real MVP. Every time "OKC" sounds, it is a time when the whole city and the whole team are united.
After two free throws, the score on the field was rewritten to 112:113. The Thunder temporarily trailed by 1 point. At this time An Luo has re-appeared. The game is about to end in 4 minutes, no one is sure of winning!
Curry brought the ball to the top of the arc, he handed it directly to Green, and then he went to the left bottom corner by himself. Thompson went from the right forty-five degrees around the bottom line to the left, then from the three-point line to the top of the arc. Iguodala and Durant, left and right, shrunk inside the three-point line and screened him. When the Warriors players moved, the Thunder also did not idle. Everyone is changing, offense and defense are very active.
When Thompson kept running, Curry suddenly got out of the free throw line. Thompson opened his hand to shoot, and after attracting the Thunder's defense, he passed the ball to Curry who appeared in the bottom corner. After the latter received the ball, he shot immediately. Westbrook, the nearest to Curry, pounced quickly, but it was too late.
The basketball collided twice on the hoop and finally fell into the net bag. The Warriors opened the difference to 4 points.
Looking back, Westbrook broke through and scored the ball to An Luo, but Green appeared in front of him instantly, right and left with Thompson, blocking An Luo's shot. He could only pass the ball to Paul George on the side, who squeezed Durant abruptly and then shot a jumper!
"boom!"
The ball missed! The rebound was grabbed by Green, and the pressure suddenly came to the Thunder.
