The Thunder once again prevailed. This also makes them more likely to win in this series. After winning Tianwang Mountain, the Thunder got the match point. However, the Rockets will definitely not catch it all. What's more, the next game is still away. As you can imagine, it is not so easy for the Thunder to win this game.
The Warriors next door have already taken a 3-1 lead! Durant entered the state of FMVP, showing great power. In Denver, he scored 40+ consecutively and led the Warriors to two consecutive cities, and promotion is in sight. The Nuggets played very well in Oakland, but suddenly became incapable of playing when they returned to their home court. This is something that no one thought of.
Of course, few people originally thought the Nuggets could make the Western Conference semifinals. They can cause some trouble to the Warriors, but it's just some trouble. It's just that in the two home games of the Warriors, the Nuggets performed very well, giving everyone greater confidence in them. Unexpectedly, after returning to the home court, the Nuggets could not hold on.
The advancement of the Warriors to the Western Conference Finals is almost a certainty. Now it depends on when the Thunder and Rockets can hit. Although the Thunder also achieved a match point, few people are optimistic that they can solve the battle in the next game. The tiebreaker is when the two teams decide the outcome.
Regarding the speculation and judgment of the next game, the "experts" used a series of data to prove their views. But the facts tend to go in the opposite direction. The greatest value of these people is being beaten in the face. It seems that the disapproval of the "experts" is the greatest encouragement to the teams participating in the game.
Just like the next game, the Thunder won a victory in Houston!
But in the first half, the Thunder were at a disadvantage.
The Rockets made a 6-0 start as soon as they came up. Gordon and Harden each contributed a three-pointer. But then the Thunder caught up. After Chris Paul broke through the throw and hit the iron, Westbrook grabbed the rebound. He immediately launched a counterattack and shot into the free throw line with lightning speed. But Chris Paul was always close to him, so Westbrook chose to pass. He gently moved the ball to the top of the basket with his left hand, and Paul George, who flew up, easily dunked the ball.
Then, Chris Paul personally found it back. He faced Adams with Capella's screen and easily scored two points with a backward jumper. Chris Paul's little play is big, it's textbook level.
Next is the performance time of An Luo and Harden. The scoring ability of these two guys is very explosive. Harden's scoring methods are relatively richer. Especially the technique of fouling is really perfect. In a game, there are more than ten or twenty free throws. It is not easy to score 20 points. You don't need to sweat a few drops!
Both sides played inextricably in the first quarter. The point difference has never been widened to more than 5 points. Whether it is offense or defense, both sides are equally divided.
In the second quarter, the substitute players from both sides played. Although the Thunder have Paul George on the court, they are hard to beat with four hands. The Rockets' rotation has performed very well. As soon as he came up, Paul and Nene had a beautiful aerial relay. Don't look at Nai Nai's old age, but the work is still on hand, and his steps are not slow. He screened for Paul at the top of the arc, put Felton in gear, and then dropped to the basket. Paul is a master of pick-and-roll tactics. After seeing Nene's movements, he directly hoisted the ball above the basket. The strength, timing, and height were just right, and Nene flew up and pressed Adams to catch the ball. Then, buckled in.
In the first 5 minutes of the second quarter, the Rockets played a big rhythm with the Thunder and took a double-digit lead.
Seeing that the situation was wrong, Donovan replaced all his main players on the field. D'Antoni also adjusted his lineup later, giving the Thunder no chance. In the next few minutes, both sides returned to the rhythm of the first quarter. Not giving way to each other, very anxious. In the end, the Thunder didn't make the difference back.
Thunder does not have a good way to solve his current predicament. The starting lineup has no advantage, and the rotation is at a disadvantage. But the turning point is coming! It was caught off guard.
At the beginning of the second half, both sides are the main players.
An Luo made a three-pointer as soon as he came up. After receiving the basketball from Westbrook, he stepped forward with Adams's screen, then pulled up and threw the ball.
Looking back, Harden took a 3-pointer and wanted to respond. But An Luo's interference made his shot miss the basket. After Westbrook grabbed the rebound, he immediately launched a fast break. He was as fast as a bolt of lightning and went straight to the basket. On the free throw line, a European step bypassed Tucker, who returned to the defense, and took the ball backhand into the basket.
is 5:0, the thunder is like a rainbow.
Turning back, Paul pushed forward with the ball and rushed to the inside by Capella's screen. However, his best misplaced singles missed. Afterwards, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com Anluo chased a three-pointer from beyond the three-point line, closing the point difference to only three points.
D'Antoni hurriedly called a timeout. This wave of Thunder's offense is too strong! Unfortunately, this timeout did not interrupt the Thunder's rhythm, nor did the Rockets find their own form.
By the end of the third quarter, the Thunder not only smoothed out the points that fell behind in the first half, but led by double digits.
In the last quarter, the Rockets launched the most tenacious counterattack. The Thunder are naturally unwilling to repeat the mistakes of the opponent in the third quarter, and they are also very strong. Intense physical confrontation, increasing defensive actions, and uninterrupted whistle make the game a battle directly! The Rockets’ Tucker and Thunder’s Noelle left the field for six consecutive fouls. Paul and Westbrook also clashed, each taking a technical foul.
The main players on both sides almost played the next two quarters. While scoring, Anlow must also keep an eye on Harden. He did a good job, and Harden didn't perform too brightly in the final quarter. Especially in the last few minutes, when the Rockets approached the score to about 5 points, Anlow, with the help of Grant, almost completely blocked Harden.
In the end, the Thunder defeated the Rockets by a score, taking away the victory of this game, but also completely taking away the entire series.
Paul left the court directly, he may really miss the Western Conference in his life! After coming to Houston, he has fallen in the Western Conference semifinals for two consecutive seasons.
Harden did not leave directly. Of course, when he hugged Westbrook and An Luo, his unwillingness and helplessness were very obvious.
