Chapter 805: Classic Posture
Curry's firepower was indeed ferocious, and in the space of more than a minute, he relied on consecutive three-pointers to chase the score closer.
Donovan immediately called a timeout, and the Thunder's state tonight was hot and then cold, and they rushed very hard at the beginning, but the second team did not continue, and then now the whole team's offense feels terrible.
The Warriors, on the other hand, played impatient at the beginning and their offensive options were too simplistic.
In the middle, there was no rush when he was behind, and he played steadily, using defense and slow pace to maneuver with the Thunder.
Then finally waited for Curry's outburst after his appearance.
At 41:43, the difference was only two points.
The atmosphere at the scene became tense and anxious.
Donovan continued to cheer the players on the bench.
Li Liang can see that Donovan is a blower.
To be honest, there really isn't much room for tactical adjustment.
Curry's few goals, you change the defense, or change the defensive strategy, the same can't be prevented.
His shooting sensation is coming, it's just hard to contain.
Dealing with a shooter like Curry, with Li Liang's experience, he still has to be consumed.
Draining Curry on the offensive end, and constantly interfering on the defensive end made his hand feel bad.
Let Curry find an offensive touch, and he is indeed quite scary this season.
In terms of three-point shooting and shooting percentage, he has slightly surpassed Li Liang.
After all, Li Liang is not a pure three-point shot, and the number of shots is declining.
At the same time, the opponent became more and more jealous of Li Liang's three points, and he was always heavily guarded.
The timeout ended and the two sides returned to the court to resume the game.
Li Liang pulled Durant and Westbrook, and the three of them got together for a brief discussion.
"Defense, Kevin, you have to increase your role in defense, especially on the inside, I will expand to the outside!"
Li Liang told Durant to increase his help with interior defense.
Li Liang himself is going to start expanding the defensive range and assisting the outside line to defend.
With Durant's height and reach, he should actually be a very good interior defender.
It's just that the Thunder's coach has never used him like this.
Li Liang is different, Li Liang is not the coach of the Thunder, so how to use Durant to see his mood and thoughts.
Durant doesn't listen? Impossible, the hair dryer blows until he listens.
After discussing it, the Thunder started attacking first.
Li Liang began to control the ball at this time, and the three of the Warriors came up together.
This is a bit of a contempt, don't treat Durant and Westbrook as people?
Li Liang gave the ball to Robertson, and Robertson gave it to Durant.
Durant received the ball, and the Warriors defense followed up, and Durant had already hit the inside, a one-handed throw on the wing, and hit the board.
The Thunder finally scored another goal to stabilize the situation.
Then, Li Liang began to assist Westbrook in besieging Curry.
Curry repeatedly dribbled away and crossed to Thompson.
There was a large piece of space on the left side, and Thompson held the ball and drove it to the basket.
Durant came over to help defend and blocked Thompson's layup, but was whistled for a foul by the referee.
There was an "oh" sound on the scene, Durant felt that he was a good hat with this ball, why did he foul?
Li Liang couldn't help but step forward and reason with the referee, the referee would be unfavorable several times tonight.
Durant just gritted his teeth and looked up at the replay on the big screen.
Compared with Li Liang Durant, who is more simple and reasonable, he wants to see if he is foul.
And Li Liang never cares, if you for fouling, you just can't do it, and you're blind.
Thompson hit one of two rare free throws to make it 42:45, bringing the margin to three points.
Then, Li Liang and Westbrook cooperated with a high block, and Westbrook then covered and hit a quick stop jump shot.
After the timeout, the Thunder's offense recovered and found its senses.
Then, Klay Thompson missed another three-pointer, and the Warriors' counterattack gradually faded.
Li Liang got the backcourt rebound, gave the ball to Westbrook, and shouted at him, "Rush, hit Curry, hit Curry!" ”
Li Liang reminded Westbrook to seize the opportunity to attack Curry.
The Warriors weren't particularly strict on defense tonight.
Although Thompson is the main defense Westbrook, when he retreats quickly, he often allows Curry to defend against Westbrook.
This time was no exception, Westbrook saw that it was Curry who was facing him, turned his back and pouted his ass and arched in.
After arching all the way to the three-second zone, it was still the close-range jumper after the turn.
Leaning forward, he pressed Curry down.
If you move, you're a foul.
If you don't move, you can't interfere with my shot.
If it is replaced by Klay defense, it is impossible for Westbrook to go in with his back in the first place.
When he entered, Westbrook was a cut shorter than Clay and weighed, and it was difficult to suppress him from jumping.
Therefore, Wei Shao's trick can only bully and bully primary school students.
A two-point shot, 42:49, the difference opened up again.
Although Gan didn't score, he coached very well on the court.
Right off the bat, Curry was on the perimeter trying to get a three-point chance with repeated cover runs.
Bogut and Green are like two moving gates on the left side, moving around to create space and opportunities for Curry.
Thompson had the ball in his hand and waited for an opportunity to pass it to Curry, who was running empty-handed.
But he found no chance.
Because Li Liang was close to the side, he stared very closely.
Li Liang is catching the Warriors' passing route.
In the end, Thompson made a hanging pass to the inside and wanted to hit the back.
As a result, Barnes received the ball and made a layup, but was slapped off by a big hat from Durant, who came over to help defend him.
It was a good hat and the referee didn't blow for another foul.
If you blow the foul again, you will be scolded to death by Bruce Lee.
The Thunder had another chance to fight back.
Durant holds the ball, and a crossover accelerates to the basket after passing the defender.
The Warriors' defense shrank under the basket, and Durant returned the ball to Li Liang, who was following him.
Li Liang caught the ball on the edge of the three-second zone with both feet, touched the back of his head with his left hand, grabbed the ball with his right hand and made a split dunk with one arm!
The energy center was boiling all at once.
The narrator shouted, "Bruce Lee's dunk!" It's like seeing Carl Malone! ”
Li Liang's dunk is indeed a classic Karl Malone pose.
The right hand is split with one arm, and the left hand is placed between the back of the head and the ear.
It means to dunk while listening to the cheers and cheers of the audience in the air.
Li Liang, now there are more and more tricks for dunking, and the dunk king is just around the corner.
After the dunk was successful, Li Liang also showed off his muscles to Curry, "Do you want to dunk by Bibi?" ”
Curry has nothing to say, forget it, don't compare, won't, I'm afraid of being embarrassed.
But Curry has his means of countering.
After he drew the defense in the high post, he shoved a beautiful ground into Bogut's hands.
Because the Thunder's defense is spread out, the interior is empty.
Although Durant can help defend, he can't prevent Bogut who accelerates with the ball and rushes in.
Bogut slammed his hands into a slam buckle.
At 44:51, the Warriors began a long journey to chase the score.
After that, Durant hit another two points, and Curry also hit a small and big game, breaking through Adams to score under the basket.
The Warriors' strong three-point threat from the outside further emptied the Thunder's interior defense and gave Curry a lot of opportunities to break through the basket.
In the final seconds of the second quarter, Curry still had a chance to close the score.
But his shot was slapped off by a big hat from Li Liang, who came over to help defend him.
In the end, the buzzer sounded at the end of the second quarter, and at 48:57, the Thunder led by nine points to end the first half of the game.
Overall, the Thunder still maintained their advantage.
But the Warriors are gradually finding their form.
Curry, in particular, has forced the Thunder to change their defensive formation and strategy by being a huge threat from beyond the three-point line.
If it weren't for Klay Thompson's iron in the second quarter and Green doing nothing in front of Li Liang, the Warriors wouldn't have fallen so far behind.
On the Thunder side, Li Liang's performance is still tepid.
He scored only 8 points in the first half, which was pitiful.
None of the three-pointers were scored.
When leading the second team, he did not expand the advantage, but was dragged down by the second team of the Warriors.
However, Li Liang also adjusted in time, focused on strategy and defense, and did not forcibly use his hand to adjust his hand when he felt bad, which is not something he can do.
The two sides returned to the locker room at halftime.
And the second half of the game is destined to be more intense.
