Vol 3 Chapter 485: Fight back fiercely

In the first game at Oracle Arena, the Warriors let everyone see the face of the team most likely to win the championship. The trend of the game was the same as most people expected before the game. After Curry returned, the Warriors' offense improved a lot.
As soon as the game started, Curry made his own voice. After receiving the ball from the three-point line, he strongly used a fast-push three-pointer to declare his return.
The Thunder won the ball for the first offense. In this link, Noelle has never missed.
Westbrook controlled the ball before Curry, and then galloped towards the frontcourt. At the same time, the Thunder and Warriors players all flocked to the Thunder frontcourt. An Luo began to run around the three-point line and the baseline, and everyone else did their jobs, either looking for an offensive opportunity or covering teammates.
Noelle went straight to the top of the arc and made a pick-and-roll for Westbrook. The latter rubbed his body, flung Curry away and rushed to the basket. However, Green returned to defense in the first time, coupled with Rooney who switched to his side, it was Westbrook's ability to complete the layup directly. He passed the ball to Noelle who went down, but the latter had been pushed around the free throw line by Curry, unable to directly hit the basket.
Basketball finally came to Paul George's hands. He was on the right elbow and made his first shot in the half of the game against Durant. In fact, Paul George's position is not good, but offensive time has not allowed him to hesitate any more.
"boom!"
The basketball hit the hoop and Green grabbed the rebound. He rushed out of the free throw line at the fastest speed, and then saw Thompson rushing to the center line.
In fact, the moment Green grabbed the rebound, the Warriors started a counterattack. Curry, Thompson and Durant rushed to their frontcourt. They are both the end points of the offense.
After receiving the ball, Thompson stepped to the three-point line in two steps. However, An Luo followed closely behind him and stood in front of him. He didn't consider how the opponent would rush in, but posted it to prevent Thompson from shooting directly.
Under this circumstance, Thompson knew that he could no longer make a move! But he still flicked a shot and then passed the ball to Curry. Curry, who received the basketball, raised his hand and threw the ball in front of Westbrook.
This choice shocked Westbrook. You know, Curry's shot is two steps away from the three-point line! Westbrook is a step in front of the opponent, whether it is a breakthrough or a shot, he can make an effective defense.
This is Curry's style. As long as he feels his hand, he can directly shoot anywhere. And Curry's feel is just shot again and again. In many games, Curry may not have a good shooting percentage at the beginning, but it gets higher when he shoots.
"Huh!"
In this game, Curry feels good as soon as he comes up. During the 8 minutes he played in the first quarter, Curry took 7 shots from the three-point line alone. What's more terrifying is that he made 4 of them! Coupled with his scoring at the basket, Curry scored 16 points in a single quarter!
This is not Curry's highest score in a single quarter, but he can still see how fiery his offensive state is.
However, the performance of other players is also good. Although Durant's presence in the game has been reduced a lot, his efficiency is not bad. He scored 10 points in only 6 sessions. Thompson was not as eye-catching as the last one. However, the Warriors' offense is already very good, and it does not need everyone to play out. With fewer opportunities on the offensive end, Thompson's energy was put on the defensive end. This also makes An Luo's life not so easy. He also played for 8 minutes, but he was far worse than Curry. Of course, Anluo's scoring efficiency is not bad, mainly because there is no chance.
An Luo only shot 3 times in the first quarter! Thompson has been with him all the time, as if hanging on his body. Such personal care made An Luo very uncomfortable.
In the first quarter, the Thunder fell behind the Warriors by 8 points 27:35. In addition to An Luo being restricted, their biggest problem is still inside. Noelle was completely held down by Rooney! Although his physical fitness is outstanding, his skills at the basket are still a bit worse. After all, Noelle is still a player who eats his own health. With Westbrook feeding him bread, his life should be pretty good. But when Westbrook can't take care of him, it's just normal!
Speaking of, because of Anlor's silence, Westbrook had to be more involved in the offensive end. His breakthrough layup is the key to the Thunder not to collapse. I have to sigh with emotion about the ability of this guy Westbrook! In the past two seasons, his scoring average has been declining continuously, and UU Reading www.uukanshu.com has fallen below 20 points. But this does not mean that his scoring ability is weakened. In fact, without Anlow and Paul George, he could average 30+ per game like Harden. This is not an exaggeration. Oklahoma’s media has calculated that if the Thunder need Westbrook to stand up and score, he can even average 30+ triple-doubles per game.
Paul George is the only player who plays normally. Westbrook can be regarded as the "burst" state this season. He did not lose the wind in the confrontation with Durant, and certainly did not prevail.
In the second quarter, the Thunder faced a more severe situation.
The two "old guys" who had been silent for two games returned to their former glory after Curry returned. Together, the two suppressed the Thunder's entire rotation for most of the game. Even if Paul George showed great power during that period of time, he still couldn't get close to the score. It was even pulled away by the other party.
After the main players of both sides returned to the field, the score that Paul George had desperately bitten was finally opened by the other side! Curry and Durant screened and supported each other on the field, and complemented each other. The Thunder's defense is difficult from the beginning to the end. They can limit Thompson and one of them. It is already very good. If you want to limit all of them, it will be difficult even for Robertson and Adams to come back.
By the end of the first half, the Thunder had fallen behind by as much as 15 points! For the current game, this is not a very disparity in points. But for the Thunder, it means that they are already facing a great dilemma.
Everyone knows that the Warriors will launch a counterattack this night, but they did not expect the Warriors to counterattack so fiercely. It's really not easy for the Thunder to retreat in Oracle.
