Chapter 806: Facing Fear
The halftime break ended quickly and the third quarter began.
The players from both sides returned to the field, and many seats were empty at the energy center.
It's not that the fans don't watch half of it, but many people take advantage of the halftime to release water to breathe, or take them to the activity center outside to play.
The game on the field has already begun.
The Warriors took the lead and Klay Thompson hit an outside mid-range jumper to score his first point of the second half.
50:57。
On the Thunder's side, Westbrook and Adams cooperated in blocking and dismantling, and the ball was given to Adams, who held the ball and killed the basket in the middle, knocked down Green in front of him, and was whistled for an offensive foul.
The situation was slightly unfavorable for the Thunder.
It feels like the Thunder was like a rainbow in the first half, but this momentum did not carry over to the second half.
Just like the audience, the first quarter was full at the beginning of the first quarter, and the shouts were overwhelming.
At the beginning of the third quarter, the audience was sparsely stretched, giving people a feeling of weakness.
The Warriors continued to chase points silently.
Curry held the ball through the halfcourt and gave it to Klay who came out with the help of a screen.
Thompson shook off the defense with the ball and hit another two-point shot with a pull-up jump shot from the horn position.
At 52:57, I was only 5 points away from it.
The Thunder need to score.
At halftime, Donovan was a little worried that the Thunder would get off to a weak start in the second half.
As he expected, the first half failed to pull away from the advantage, and the Warriors slowly dragged out of the state.
Then, there was a problem with one of Westbrook's passes.
He passed the ball to Durant, who asked for the ball at 45 degrees on the left side, and the ball went wide.
Durant had to run farther outside to receive the ball, and as a result, he lost his best offensive position.
It was Green who defended Durant, and Durant's jump shot after turning to the baseline was blocked by Green.
A good hat.
The audience couldn't believe that Durant's step-back jumper was actually hatted.
The Warriors then also had a passing error, but the Thunder didn't take the opportunity to score.
Instead, Curry cut off Westbrook's pass again, assisted Barnes on the counterattack, and scored a dunk under the basket.
At 54:57, the difference was chased to only 3 points.
The advantage built up in the first half was wiped out in a short period of time.
The Thunder didn't continue their excellent form in the first half, but more importantly, the Warriors significantly improved their concentration in the third quarter.
They play more meticulously in attack and are more capable of taking chances.
At the same time, the intensity of defense has increased, and Curry and Green are very fast.
And the Thunder feel that they are playing softly, I don't know if it was caused by too much force in the first half.
Donovan didn't call a timeout, he got up and went to the sidelines and shouted at the players to cheer everyone up.
Westbrook stepped up and forced the basket to draw a foul on the opponent to the free throw line.
He made both free throws to alleviate the Thunder's scoring crisis.
54:59。
Then, Green missed a three-point shot with a large open space on the outside.
Robertson, on the other hand, didn't dare to make a move when there was an open spot, and he saw Thompson pounce.
After choosing a feint, he burst in with the ball, but in the end the ball hit Bogut's foot and went off the line.
It's still the Warriors' possession.
But Li Liang was very anxious to watch from the audience.
The Thunder clearly didn't play resolute enough in the second half.
Just now, Robertson had a chance to shoot with the ball, but he still chose to break through.
But the Warriors are squatting under the basket of Barnes, Green and Bogut, so what's the use of getting in with your breakthrough ability?
Although the ball was still in the hands of the Thunder, they did not learn their lesson and then rushed to the basket.
As a result, Green successfully broke the ball, and the Warriors counterattacked again.
At the beginning of the third quarter, the Thunder gave the Warriors too many opportunities to fight back.
The Thunder's defense was quite tenacious and withstood a wave of counterattacks from the Warriors.
caused Green's mistake in the offense, and he dribbled the ball off the baseline.
There were mistakes on both sides, and it can be seen that the intensity of the game has been raised by a notch compared to the first half.
Subsequently, the Thunder's offense still missed, and Durant's jumper near the free throw line missed.
And Thompson broke through the basket on the counter, causing a foul on Adams.
Thompson played badly in the first half, missing shots in various ways.
In the second half, Thompson's shooting percentage quickly went up and the offense felt pretty good.
Donovan couldn't stand it anymore, and patted Li Liang, signaling that he could appear.
But before coming on the court, Donovan instructed: "Attack Bruce, attack, we need to score." ”
Li Liang was not in good shape in the first half, and he didn't score a single three-point shot, which made the Thunder unable to expand the advantage.
It can be said that Li Liang was the one who dragged his feet in the first half.
At halftime, Li Liang slept in the locker room for a while.
He's also a wonder, sleeping at halftime, and only he can do it in the whole league.
Players are in high spirits during the game, and only a few strange people will yawn and feel sleepy or something.
Don't even think about sleeping, and Li Liang can really fall asleep with the help of the system.
Although he only slept for a short while, Li Liang still felt much better.
He nodded, calming himself down first.
Then, he put on the prop, McGinnis's Iron Suit.
This is the first time Li Liang has worn a steel suit this season.
After a summer of tempering, Li Liang's physical fitness has made great progress, and he is making great strides towards Ma Long.
So most of the time he doesn't need the steel suit.
But tonight, Li Liang found that the Warriors repeatedly violated the Thunder's three-second zone, and Bogut relied on his height and strength to block people and cover with various big moves, rushing to grab rebounds in the frontcourt.
Collison was tormented enough by the Warriors' forward group.
Li Liang replaced the veteran, and when he changed into a steel suit, his strength increased by 30 percent.
At this time, his strength is no different from the real Karl Malone, or even stronger.
As soon as Li Liang appeared on the stage, Green shook three times first.
Li Liang is not there, and Green plays all kinds of games.
As soon as Li Liang was on board, Green was hidden in all kinds of ways.
This aura of suppression is almost impossible to reverse.
Thompson hit both free throws to make it 56-59 for a three-point deficit.
Li Liang continued to cover Westbrook and Durant on the outside line.
Curry felt that Li Liang was like a wall, and he didn't even move when he hit it.
After the second cover, Li Liang received the ball in the horn position, and Green posted it up to prevent Li Liang's jump shot.
Li Liang directly chose to break through!
Green didn't give way and took the initiative to meet him.
The best way to overcome your fear is to face it!
Green must be shouting in his heart at this time, Ollie!
Then he was pushed all the way to the basket by Li Liang from the horn position, step by step, and finally fell to the ground with a bang.
Li Liang was unguarded, and a light jumper hit to score two points.
Green looked at the referee very aggrieved, spread his hands and asked why it wasn't a foul.
The referee shook his head and indicated that it was a good ball and that there was no foul.
Li Liang was still shouting on the side, "And one! ”
Wang, who didn't let me, is good, and you still want the referee to blow an offensive foul?
Green couldn't believe it,, he couldn't stop it.
Green felt that his whole body was going to hang on Li Liang.
As a result, Li Liang rushed to the basket with a green on his body and threw the ball in.
It's literally a bulldozer.
After the calf, I was even more afraid.
At 56:61, Li Liang scored two points.
Then, Green tried to face his fear head-on.
The 45 on the left side of the ball wants to single Li Liang.
He received a pass from Bogut and immediately rushed in for a surprise attack.
Then, Li Liang followed from behind, adjusted the pace, and the last big hat taught him to be a man!
When the strength increases, so does the pressure of the defense.
This attack and defense came twice, and Green didn't dare to jump again.
Sluggish again.
Cole sensed something was wrong.
Sure enough, Li Liang received a pass from Westbrook after crossing the halfway line and was three steps away from the three-point line.
Cole was standing not far away, and when he observed Li Liang's pace of receiving the ball, he knew that he was going to shoot.
Cole almost rushed up to seal it himself......
Then, Li Liang made a very fast shot and shook his wrist.
The ball flew straight to the basket and hit it steadily!
By this time, the fans at the Energy Center had all returned.
When Li Liang scored this goal, the whole audience was boiling!
After scoring the goal, Li Liang patted his chest hard and yelled at everyone, "Im back!" ”
