As soon as the game opened, the referee's whistle calmed the boiling emotions on both sides a little.

This is the referee's usual trick, knowing that this is a big battle between the tip of the needle and the wheat mang, so let's blow a whistle to show my sense of presence first, and tell everyone that tonight's game, everyone should play hard, or listen to my command.

The referees on duty tonight are Mark Allert, Tony Brown and Mike Davis.

For the referees, it is good news that the Thunder Li Liang does not start this season.

They can control the situation from the start without getting scolded.

In recent years, the referee group has also had enough of Bruce Lee's reasoning.

The private referees discussed it carefully and concluded that "there is no way, so be it." ”

The Warriors' opening defensive strategy was to use Klay Thompson against Westbrook.

Curry, as a defensive weakness, was used against Roberson.

Although Curry is much shorter than Robertson, Robertson basically has no independent offensive ability.

As long as there is a person standing in front of him, there is no threat of attack.

But then, when the Warriors sent the sideline ball to the Thunder, there was a misalignment.

Curry defended Westbrook.

Westbrook received the ball in the bottom corner on the right side, dribbled directly to Curry and crushed it inside.

Hit the middle, threw himself into the air after jumping, and made a streak move, pressing Curry to shoot.

The ball spun twice around the basket and landed in the net pocket.

Westbrook played the ball aggressively.

He saw the Warriors' gaps in defensive alignment, launched a quick attack, and took the lead.

In this game, the Thunder still very much hope to win.

The form of the players is significantly different from playing against other teams.

The attention was very focused at the beginning.

And the Warriors still played their regular passing and cutting cooperation at the beginning.

Bogut received the ball in the high post and passed to Green inside.

But Green's layup was interfered with by Robertson and missed.

Durant got the backcourt rebound and pushed for a counterattack.

The Warriors were very quick to retreat, and Westbrook received a pass in a deep position, but it didn't go up and passed back to Adams, who was following him.

Adams didn't attack the basket directly, but observed it and gave Durant a chance to wait on the outside after the ball was played.

Durant catches the ball and immediately makes a three-point shot!

The broadcast station used a new technology to animate the three-point line on the TV screen to indicate that it was a three-point line.

And the ball also passed through the net, and the three-point shot!

The energy center was jubilant, and the Thunder opened in very good shape.

The Warriors opted for a fast game, serving quickly in the backcourt and giving a long pass to Klay Thompson in the frontcourt.

Thompson faked to shake off the defender, moved sideways, and made a quick three-point shot.

The result was a missed shot.

This kind of quick counter-attacking three-point shooting has become popular in recent years.

In an earlier era, it was a great rebellion, and it would be explained as "unreasonable".

Now it's very reasonable, because the probability of entering is really high.

The Thunder got the backcourt rebound and fought back.

Because the Warriors retreated quickly, the Thunder were not in a hurry to attack quickly.

Falling into the position began a continuous block and dismantling.

On the Warriors' side, the No. 1 to No. 4 positions defend, and they change defenses infinitely whenever they block and dismantle.

Durant eventually switched to Green, who came in from the middle but didn't go straight to the basket.

Instead, the ball went to Roberson in the bottom left corner.

Roberson received the ball and faced Curry without any hesitation.

Because of hesitation, you will be scolded!

Three-pointers are shot immediately.

Again!

The commentators at the scene all exclaimed, and the Thunder opened with a small climax of 8:0 for the Warriors.

This is something that many people don't expect, because the Thunder hasn't sent the strongest person yet.

The strongest person is still off the court, the Warriors are playing like this, how can you still win?

Robertson's three-point shooting percentage is really not high, only about 30 percent.

But the vote is still very resolute and decisive.

Li Liang's encouragement behind him and his guidance in the usual training gave him a lot of confidence.

Li Liang often said to him, "You see, even people like Westbrook dare to vote, why don't you dare?" ”

As soon as he said this, Robertson voted very resolutely.

The Warriors, for their part, soon scored as well.

It's not Thompson, it's not Curry, it's Green's bottom line after he broke through, a high throw, like a pass but not a pass, and a shot but not a shot.

Bogut jumped up, tapped lightly, and put the ball into the basket to score the Warriors' first point.

Then, Westbrook was defended by Curry again, and he still used his body to crush inside.

As a result, this time he pressed Curry's turn and shot, but Bogut came from behind to help defend and a big hat was fanned.

Bogut is an amazing player, and every time he starts the game, he performs well.

Then he started pulling his crotch while he was beating.

Mainly at the beginning of the game, neither side opened.

A center forward like him has an advantage in height and weight, and will take advantage of some advantages.

As the match progresses, the two sides run faster, the intensity increases, and the rounds increase, and Bogut's disadvantage in movement is magnified.

So Cole knows this trait of him, and will always use Bogut a lot in the opening scenes.

At the critical moment, there will be five smalls.

After the ball was covered, Westbrook himself touched the sideline, and the Warriors had the ball.

The Thunder's defensive strategy is similar to that of the Warriors, making substitutions when there is a pick-and-roll.

Now NBA players are better at shooting from the outside than they used to.

If you don't make a substitution after blocking and dismantling, you will shoot directly if you don't pay attention.

Barnes dribbled the ball past half court and handed it to Green, who then gave it to Curry.

Curry and Barnes blocked and switched defenses to face Durant.

Curry dribbled behind his back to get rid of it, and then faced Durant's interference, and shot directly from the outside with three points!

This three-point shot is very difficult to shoot, and the arc of the ball is obviously much higher than normal, just to avoid the interference of Durant's long arm.

But after the ball fell quickly, there was a muffled sound of "dua" and it fell into the basket!

Super difficult three-point shot, this is Curry's magical state this year.

He was undoubtedly stimulated by Li Liang, and he trained extremely hard in the summer to further improve his ability to resist interference in three points.

The Warriors changed the score to 5-8, three points short.

Then, Thunder Durant fed the ball to Adams.

Adams made a shoulder shake feint in the face of Bogut and took a big hook behind his back.

This set of moves has the feel of Olajuwon, and the soft hook hand also hit steadily and won two points.

It can be seen that the Thunder players are in excellent shape tonight.

After the opening, all but Collison scored all four other players.

On the Warriors' side, Green wanted to be opportunistic and unheard of, and he held the ball to the basket alone, wanting to bully Collisson.

As a result, he was defended by Adams and missed the layup.

The Thunder's starting form has been really good.

With a quick counter-attack, Westbrook gave a nice plug to Adams on the fast side.

Bogut was left behind by Adams at this time, and he had no choice but to foul.

Adams was pushed out of the baseline by Bogut and knocked down two photographers.

went to the free throw line and hit both free throws, 5:12, and the Thunder opened the game quite well.

Good offense, good defense.

In the face of the Warriors' continuous covers, air cuts, and runs, the Thunder's defense did not show holes.

In the end, Bogut held the ball and turned around with a hasty hook that missed.

The Thunder got the rebound and then pushed back.

Li Liang shouted from the sidelines, "Run, hit the basket!" Come on! ”

Li Liang knew that this was a good opportunity to open the score and lay an advantage.

If Li Liang is on the floor at this time, he will definitely hit the basket desperately, or throw three points from the outside to expand the advantage.

But the Warriors' defense is really fast, and Collison is half useless at this point.

The Warriors can concentrate their forces on slowing down the ball-carrier's advance.

In the end, he still fell into the position, and Durant cleared his back on the right side to single Barnes.

Barnes defended the ball well, forcing Durant to make a difficult step-back jumper and missed.

Bogut points out the rebound under the basket.

Klay Thompson took the ball, dribbled and almost missed.

In the end, he held the ball and hit the basket, but was forced down by Adams.

The ball was taken straight out of your hands!

"Fight back! Hurry up and fight back! ”

Li Liang continued to yell on the sidelines.

This time Durant was obedient, and after dribbling past half court, he saw the opportunity and shot directly from the left 45-degree three-point shot.

Hit!

At 5:15, the Thunder led by 10 points.

And Cole was confident and didn't call a timeout.

As a result, Klay Thompson misses a three-point shot from the outside.

Westbrook won the rebound, counterattacked and hit the basket, jumped up and hit the board and made a layup against the defender!

At 5:17, the Thunder opened with an absolute lead of 12 points.

Cole had to call a timeout.

Li Liang is still sitting on the sidelines, you are playing like this?

Can you still play in the next games?
