Chapter 861: Targeted
Kerr was on the verge of arguing with the referee on the sidelines.
He believes that the Thunder had a foul action when defending, and just countered that ball, the Thunder had an offensive foul, and the goal was invalid.
The manager's roar also affected the mentality of the players to a certain extent.
Kerr, as a player for the Bulls, should know how immobile Jackson is.
Unfortunately, it's too difficult to be like a Zen master.
Moreover, it is really not a knowingly move to compete with the referee.
You're not Li Liang, you don't have a hair dryer, do you think you're qualified to reason with the referee?
The referee reasoned with you and taught you how to behave.
As a result of Kerr and the referee's roar, the Warriors finally hit a three-pointer from the outside.
But after coming to his senses, Durant caused a foul on Thompson under the basket in the attack.
Get to the free throw line.
Cole didn't dare to yell at the referee this time, so he could only smile and shake his head helplessly.
He can only use his spare energy to communicate with the assistant coach next to him, Wharton.
The difference is still 11 points.
On the Thunder's side, Vitesse came on to replace Adams.
Adams' disadvantage in big defense is a bit big.
As soon as Adams came off the court, the Thunder's defense was more malleable.
Thompson tried to force Vitesse in the low post, but he didn't move.
The jumper that rolled over missed the shot.
In the counterattack, Vitesse went straight to the basket and found Li Liang in the crowd.
Li Liang threw the ball lightly after receiving the ball and hit the board for two points!
At 26:13, the difference became 13 points.
This third game, at Oracle Arena, was a pretty bad one for the Warriors.
With four minutes left in the first quarter, the Warriors finally managed to pull off a flawless pass.
The Thunder made a defensive mistake and no one under the basket, so he was cut in by Aizeli, received Curry's pass, and easily dunked with both hands.
The first quarter was almost over, and both sides were already in the groove, and the Warriors' passing and cutting cooperation only played one.
It's enough to see how successful the Thunder's defense is.
In the showdown with Donovan, Cole was defeated.
While the Thunder have the better hand, the Warriors are not without chances.
It's just that the Thunder is getting smoother and smoother, and even when Oracle is still in this situation, Cole's tactical arrangement does have some problems.
The Thunder played better and better, followed up in the positional attack, relying on continuous cooperation, breaking points, transferring the ball, and finding Li Liang in the bottom corner.
That's right, Li Liang actually appeared in the bottom corner and squatted in the bottom corner for three points.
The warriors actually missed him.
In the bottom corner of the right side, Li Liang received the ball and made a three-point shot and hit!
Li Liang had already scored 16 points in the first quarter.
It can be seen that Li Liang is going to fight the warriors to the death.
3:0, he will never make the series 2:1.
The Warriors are facing huge difficulties, and Bruce Lee seems to have turned on the all-out mode, so should you go all out to defend him?
If he goes all out to defend him, what will Durant do? What about Westbrook?
Let Westbrook defend Durant?
It's a good idea, but it seems too much reliance on Willis.
In this series, Westbrook played quite restrained and calm.
There are fewer swings, more passes, fewer rebounds, and more solid defense.
Thunder is complete and powerful, almost unstoppable.
This kind of team, you either have a strong low-post giant on the inside, maybe it can change the pattern of the two sides.
But the Warriors are also an outside team, and it is very difficult to play.
After that, Curry missed another three-pointer from the outside.
Iguodala desperately grabbed the rebound in the frontcourt and distributed the ball to Thompson.
The Thunder's defense was a little slack, giving Thompson an open spot.
Three-point hit.
Thompson's three-point level may be as bad as Curry's.
But Thompson's 10 centimeters more height than Curry puts him in less restriction.
Curry's current three games are estimated to be only 70 percent of the regular season.
The two sides played back and forth for two rounds, and the Warriors accelerated the pace to chase the points, but they just didn't score.
The intensity of both sides has been raised to a level.
At this time, it is time for superstars to step up.
Li Liang blocked Westbrook in the high post, received Westbrook's ground-hitting pass and cut inside.
Bogut rested off the court, Green didn't dare to get started on one side, Li Liang burst out with the ball, and he dunked Azeli with one hand!
18 points, Li Liang has scored 18 points in the first quarter, which is more than the Warriors' current team.
And unlike last year when he was with the Pacers, he doesn't need to blindly hold the ball alone, he can cooperate with his teammates, and he can even eat cakes!
In other words, Li Liang, who scored 18 points, still did not exert 100% strength.
The Thunder's configuration doesn't need him to play so tired and hard.
The Thunder completely suppressed the Warriors in the first quarter.
At the end of the first quarter, the Thunder led the Warriors by 12 points at 40:28.
The warriors looked more than lucky.
After the start of the second quarter, Li Liang led the team alone to compete with the second team of the Warriors on the court.
Iguodala hit a three-pointer to quench the Warriors' thirst.
On the Thunder's side, Adams Gakante's twin tower combination was used again.
However, Li Liang's through pass to Adams was mishandled and was tackled by Iguodala.
The Thunder quickly stepped back and didn't give the Warriors a chance to fight back.
Barnes missed a breakthrough jumper, and followed by Li Liang's three-point shot at the top of the arc.
The Warriors saw hope of a comeback, and Livingston dribbled to the baseline again when he was his signature, and then turned over with a zero-degree jumper to score two points.
The Warriors, who scored five points in a row, narrowed the gap to within 10 points.
Immediately after, Iguodala was in defense and stole Adams' pass to Li Liang!
Warriors fans all stood up and wanted to see Iguodala fight back and dunk!
As a result, Li Liang chased the defense from behind, stabbed lightly, and broke the ball in Iguodala's hand.
Back to grab the hand, Li Liang dribbled through the half court, and after Adams covered it, Li Liang hit a long-distance three-point shot from the outside!
An ultra-long three-pointer two steps away from the three-point line.
After all these years, this is still Li Liang's sharpest weapon.
Livingston immediately quickly held the ball down to the bottom line, and hit a jumper shot from a zero degree angle.
Livingston's mid-range jumper from a zero degree angle was really perfect, helping the Warriors struggle to catch up with the score.
The Warriors then defended the Thunder for a 24-second violation, Li Liang wanted to make the ball for Kanter, but after Kanter held the ball, the Warriors could only play the ball and lost their best opportunity.
The master has made a move, in an instant.
The offense of the Warriors and the Thunder basically has to be seized immediately if they have the slightest opportunity, otherwise they will be lost quickly.
The Warriors had a good chance to fight back, but Iguodala didn't make a throw to the basket.
The Warriors' offense is full of throws after hitting the basket.
Because the outside line is controlled by the Thunder, and there are twin towers under the basket, so you can only throw this strange throw.
Adams won the backcourt rebound, and in the counterattack, Li Liang made a long pass to Vitesse, who was about to go.
Vitesse made a left-handed hand-to-hand layup, a difficult move, and the ball went in.
The Thunder are getting braver and braver, and the bench players are playing more and more.
But Barnes immediately made a three-pointer at the top of the arc to make a color.
The difference was still not widened, and the game continued.
With 7:58 left in the second quarter, the game went into an official timeout.
Although the two sides fought fiercely, they were still relatively civilized so far.
There was no too intense action, there was not much conflict after the two games, and the smell of gunpowder was not very strong.
Both sides are based on the principle of competition, and the off-market moves are basically useless.
But for the Warriors, something is wrong.
If they lose this game again, they will never recover.
Sometimes in the NBA, players do a lot of things in order to win.
In competitive sports, this "stubborn disease" has never been eliminated and cannot be eliminated.
Even if there is no dispute of interest in the wild ball, there are people who make "bad moves", not to mention the NBA arena where great honor and interests are involved?
So, Draymond Green silently stared at Adams' balls.
