Vol 3 Chapter 323: Feel is the biggest turning point in the game

Westbrook was like a blue lightning flashing across the center line and out of the three-point line. After a short pause, he accelerated again, and he swept past Green in front of him, then took two steps, took off directly, and dunked the ball into the basket.
Westbrook was very excited when he dunked. He walked past Green and Durant at his own unique pace. In addition, his hands kept flapping upwards, bringing the atmosphere of the Chesapeake Energy Arena.
As soon as the third quarter came up, the Thunder used two very morale-boosting dunks to close the score. It can be seen that for this game, they also hold the belief that they will win.
Looking back, Curry continued to advance with the ball. This time, he did not give the ball to Green. It was a fake pick-and-roll breakthrough with the opponent outside the three-point line. Green still mentioned the top of the arc from the free throw line to make a pick-and-roll for Curry. The latter took the ball straight to the right, trying to pass through the opponent's screen, hit the basket and layup. The Thunder's defense immediately contracted inward. Of course, they did not give up watching Thompson and Durant.
However, Curry did not rush in. When he rushed to the right of Green, he made a sudden stop, pulled the ball from behind to the left, and then turned around, trying to take a big step on the left to get rid of Anlow's defense once again.
It has to be said that Green's screen and Curry's ball-holding changes have done very well. The two cooperated tacitly to resolve An Luo's defense quite cleanly.
After Curry moved to the left, he directly pushed the ball out. This is his favorite way to shoot! With Green blocking the defender at the front side, he is equivalent to being unguarded. All along, Curry has done a very good job in finding and creating space for hands.
but!
"boom!"
The arc of the ball is still very positive, but the strength is somewhat insufficient. The basketball hit the front of the basket and bounced in the direction of the right elbow. Adams arched his buttocks and jumped straight to the ground, picking off the basketball flying in the air. The Thunder once again blocked the Warriors' offense.
Westbrook and Anlow retreated from the center line at the first time, followed by Curry and Thompson. After Adams grabbed the rebound, seeing Westbrook waved to him, he immediately raised his arm and threw the basketball toward the three-point line on the other side of the court.
In terms of speed, none of the players on the court can run Westbrook. Even if you look at the entire league, he is the best. The Thunder has always been very good at defensive counterattacks, which is largely based on this.
Westbrook controlled the basketball first, and then went straight to the penalty area without reducing speed. Curry, who was chasing him, was one position behind, unable to cause effective interference. At this time, Thompson on the other side gave up An Luo directly. His height and wingspan were a great threat to Westbrook's layup. At this time, Westbrook can actually pass the ball to Anlo who is in the open. But he didn't! He continued to walk in, and when Thompson approached him, he threw the ball directly over the basket.
"That's not reasonable! Even if Westbrook doesn't pass the ball, he should be layup or dunk."
"No! An Luo is flying! Wow! Is this to be picked up by air? Isn't it! An Luo is flying by air?"
"Pretty! It's really an empty pick! What a high jump! An Luo's physical fitness is very good. I heard that at the Asian Cup last year, Du Feng didn't believe An Luo's physical data at first. ..."
The opening consecutive empty catches and dunks ignited the entire Chesapeake Energy Arena. It took less than two minutes for the Thunder to tear off the tag of the shooting team and turned the game into a dunk contest.
The fans at the scene were too happy. Especially the empty pick-up between Westbrook and An Luo! Of course, the former's passing of such a ball is not surprising. But it was a little surprising that he passed it to An Luo! The people in this arena are too familiar with An Luo. Basically, his dunks are done when there is no one in the basket. Occasionally, there will be a flash of light, but compared with those guards who fly around at every turn, it is still a bit worse. Now this is a very explosive dunk dunk, the impact is really not small.
When everyone was discussing An Luo's dunk this time, Cole really frowned. He found that in these offenses, it seems that the Thunder's defense has strengthened, but in fact, whether it is Curry or Thompson, their feel is the biggest problem. They also shot a lot of this kind of ball in the first half, but now they can't make it.
Therefore, even if Green had delivered the ball, he still called a timeout. Since there is a problem, adjust it immediately. In fact, in his mind, there was already a plan ~EbookFREE.me~After the suspension came back, the Warriors began to fight in. The closer to the basket, the higher the hit rate. This truth is useful at all times. As a result, Durant once again became the Warriors' main offensive point. But this time, Durant also failed to stabilize the situation. Because the outside players of the Thunder feel warm in their hands!
The first thing that showed up was An Luo. Although he has always been very accurate, he didn't make many shots. In the following game, after the Thunder began to move the offensive point to the outside line, his chances increased. Paul George also contributed from beyond the three-point line. Of course, these two are considered normal play, and the most prominent is Westbrook. The four three-pointers made in the first half surprised everyone. Never thought, his three-pointer was still very accurate in the second half!
Just like a remake of the first half, the Thunder's perimeter players took advantage of their hot hands and launched a sharp attack on the Warriors. The Warriors' defense isn't a big problem, but it just can't limit the opponent's shots.
Cole finished all his timeouts, but still couldn't interrupt the rhythm of the Thunder. In the end, he could only sit on the sidelines and watch the opponent tie the score and overtake.
Throughout the third quarter, the Thunder made 10 three-pointers! Moreover, the hit rate is as high as 70%! Under such firepower, the Warriors not only lost their nearly double-digit lead in the first half, but also fell into a passive situation. In the last quarter, they had to be 9 points behind to start a final confrontation with each other.
Durant's role at this time is reflected! Although he alone could not completely withstand the full-fire Thunder, his performance allowed the Warriors to barely survive the Thunder's explosion in the third quarter. Let them retain the opportunity to fight the Thunder in the final quarter of the game.
