Vol 3 Chapter 496: Never underestimate the heart of a championship

For the Warriors' last ball, Thompson is not alone.
Green accounted for 2 points, and his pass was the start of this attack. After all, once he hesitated, the Thunder would immediately establish a complete line of defense, and the Warriors would lose the opportunity. Finally, Thompson scored 3 points. If it weren't for him, the basketball would fly out of the court. The remaining 5 points should be recorded on Curry's head. If he hadn't caught the ball before Westbrook and passed it, the Warriors might be behind now.
Just after Thompson scored the ball, all the Warriors players went straight to Curry. He took the last one like a long jump, rushed out, and then rushed into the audience. This is a very dangerous move! A little carelessness may result in serious injuries. But on the court, the players will always do nothing to win.
Donovan used up his last timeout and arranged his tactics.
"Ann, they certainly won't let you catch the ball. But you have to find a way to catch the ball! If you receive the ball, shoot it; if you don't receive the ball, you must attract the opponent's defense and provide the greatest help to your teammates. ."
There is no doubt that Anluo and Paul are the players most likely to perform the final attack. This point, whether it is Donovan or Cole, or Thunder fans or other fans who know a little about the Thunder, all know it well. After all, these two people have always been the main scorers of the Thunder, and they have scored a lot of lore and quasi lore.
In fact, in Donovan's tactics, Anluo and Paul are also the first shots. He knew Cole could guess his layout, but so what! In many cases, the more well-known tactics are, the harder it is to defend. For scorers like Anluo and Paul, no one can restrain them. Once the opponent puts more power to target them, the Thunder's chances will become better. After all, players like Westbrook, Adams and Grant are not without the ability to score.
Adams served the ball, because the offensive time was still relatively sufficient, so Westbrook directly crossed Curry and rushed to the backcourt to receive the ball. He quickly took the ball beyond the three-point line and paused for a while. At this time, the Warriors' defense seems a bit conservative. They were tight and loose, Curry, Thompson and Durant all pressed to the three-point line, Green also appeared at the top of the arc, and Rooney, who was back on the court, guarded the basket. This clearly means not allowing the Thunder to shoot three-pointers. After all, even if the Thunder scores a two-pointer, there is still overtime to win the game, but if they make a three-pointer, they lose the game.
Westbrook then rushed in under the cover of Adams. Green waited until he was close to the basket before rushing over. Facing Rooney and Green, Westbrook didn't panic. He circled the baseline and threw the ball.
An Luo has been doing what Donovan said. He keeps running around, taking screens, running back and forth, slowing down and accelerating, trying hard to find opportunities to catch and shoot. Thompson has always been inseparable. When facing the pick-and-roll, he directly double-teamed with the player who changed defense, giving An Luo no chance at all. But perhaps it was too much emphasis on Anlow. When he was ready to get rid of the entanglement of the other party once again under the cover of Paul George, Durant and Thompson followed one after another. Although the latter quickly retreated as soon as the former arrived, Paul George still completed the act of catching and shooting.
When the basketball flies in the air, the rim is red! This means that Paul George's ball became a direct factor in determining this game.
In those two seconds, everyone's eyes were focused on the orange ball. The entire Chesapeake Energy Arena was silent at this time, including on the court, all the players kept their final moves, turning their heads to look at the ball that decides everything. An Luo even prayed to the gods all over the sky in his heart: "This goal must be scored!"
"boom!"
The basketball hit the front of the basket and flew directly to the free throw line. Curry jumped up to catch the basketball. He was very excited, threw the ball directly into the sky, and then hugged with his teammates.
Paul George put his head in his hands, looking very depressed. In this game, his three-point shooting percentage is actually very good, before the final goal is 4 of 7 shots. But now it's 4 of 8 shots. But if the last goal is not scored, everything in front becomes meaningless! His 29 points, Westbrook's triple-double and Anlo's 32 points all became the backing board for the opponent's win.
An Luo looked at the numbers on the scoreboard and shook his head helplessly. No one can score all the goals, but he lost the game at home just like that, UU reading www.ukanshu.com still made him very uncomfortable. He couldn't help wondering, if the ball was shot by himself, what kind of result would it be?
The celebration of the Warriors did not last long. Firstly, the series is not over yet, this is just one of the games; secondly, this is not their Oracle Stadium after all, it is always bad to be too public in other people's territory.
After the players hugged one by one, everything tonight is over. An Luo and Curry inevitably exchanged a few words again.
"Congratulations on your victory, see you in Auckland!"
"I'm waiting for you! Good luck to you!"
After the game, both Kerr and Donovan gave a high evaluation of this game. Although the result of the game is not controlled by anyone, the whole process of the game has always been very exciting. In a very passive situation, the Warriors passed the most difficult moments through changes. Most of the time, they played the role of chasers. At the last moment, Durant, Green, Curry, Thompson and other players tried their best to finally take the lead. As soon as the Thunder came up, they took the lead and kept suppressing the opponent, both offensively and defensively, doing better. When the Warriors changed, they could still maintain their lead on the field. The performances of Westbrook, Anlow and Paul George fully demonstrated the momentum of the Thunder as the defending champion.
There is a saying, never underestimate the heart of a championship. The Warriors and Thunder, as the championship teams in the last two seasons, have always been ahead of most teams in the league in terms of their competitive level and the fighting spirit of their players.
Two days later, the sixth game between the two sides will begin at the Oracle Arena in Oakland. For this game, the coaches and players on both sides are determined to win.
