Chapter 355: Get it done one by one

The game between the Warriors and the Wizards is the mutual explosion of Curry and Wall.

Curry scored 51 points, Wall scored 41 points, and it is unknown whether the difference represents the difference between the two, but it is also the difference in the team's score, and the game was won by the Warriors.

The Wizards started with the Warriors in one big and four small, and then fought a small lineup, and it was normal to lose.

It's a little unnatural that the two No. 1 positions explode to that extent.

Next, the Warriors will face the Thunder, who are third in the West.

This is the first time the two teams have met this season, and the Thunder are the only strong team that has not been defeated by the Warriors.

What to say about the Thunder team, the management does not have much boldness, this season is Durant's contract year, and they did not fully replenish the roster in the summer.

However, the Thunder's lineup is not weak, and it is one of the few teams in the league that has offense, defense, interior and outside, but if it is a team with championship ambitions, it should be configured more neatly, not to mention any efficient benches, and shooters should be at least a few more.

To be honest, their sixth man is not weak, but an interior line with strong offense and weak defense feels a little awkward.

They failed badly last season and this season several of the team's key players are full of determination.

As for the Warriors, who have the strongest record in the league, both said in interviews that they are not afraid at all, and the Thunder are ready to fight at any time.

With Roberson out injured, the Thunder simply put Dion Waiters in the starting lineup to form an attacking lineup.

Dieng Vitesse hasn't had a good time with the Thunder in the past two seasons, with a couple of players and he doesn't have much ball.

Now he probably realized that he had a high opinion of himself before, and people felt a little decadent.

As the game began, Durant and Westbrook launched a strong attack.

Zhang Xiaotian's defensive task in this game is also very heavy, just like playing the Cavaliers to defend against James.

In terms of frontal offense, Durant is more troublesome than James, taller and more accurate in shooting, and Iguodala can only be purely attrition when he defends.

The Warriors' strategy is that Zhang Xiaotian and Iguodala take turns to consume Durant, and Durant is not as good as James in terms of physical strength, and the two excellent small forwards on the defensive end have their own characteristics.

Durant's long arms, Zhang Xiaotian will definitely find it difficult to shoot at the opponent.

The difference between the Warriors and the Thunder is that their offensive opportunities are scattered, with three main attackers and four touches the ball, and there may not be any difference at the beginning, but at the last moment, it will be known that the Warriors' style of play rarely has a shortage of main physical strength.

The physical strength of the double less, especially Durant's efficiency is too high, at this time Zhang Xiaotian feels that he is still a little shorter, and the Warriors want to maintain their advantage, more on offense.

Zhang Xiaotian got more opportunities on the offensive end than expected, and the Thunder wanted to pinch Curry and didn't pay enough attention to him.

Zhang Xiaotian has had a lot of magical performances, but only the team he has been in will pay special attention to him, the Thunder did not guard him strictly is wrong, he is now very stable, and he will score if he is given the opportunity.

By the time the other side took it seriously, the Warriors had already taken the lead through offense.

In the first half, the Warriors had a rare advantage in bench time, with Durant scoring the most points of the game, but the Warriors led by double digits.

No way, in terms of the number of people who scored double-doubles, the Warriors led 3:2.

The Thunder are still the same, and there are too few sparks between Shuangshao and his teammates.

At halftime, the Thunder summed up the successes and failures of the first half in the locker room, and they were definitely not satisfied, Curry did not soar, but the Warriors played well on other points.

This is still the second half that the Warriors do best, and if they don't make some changes, they may also be beaten by the Warriors in the third quarter, and losing is not the end, but it is not good to lose ugly.

In the third quarter, the Thunder strengthened their defense, especially Zhang Xiaotian, who never dared to relax anymore.

The Thunder's two interior lines, Ibaka and Adams, have the ability to help defend, and Durant can also help defend.

The Thunder's changes have made the Warriors a little uncomfortable, and they have deliberately made Draymond Green effective, and Draymond Green is still inconsistent on the offensive end.

At the end of the third quarter, the Thunder relied on defensive improvement to chase the score to single digits.

In order to defend Durant, Zhang Xiaotian also fouled three times, but it was worth it, but he kept seeking physical contact and consuming the opponent.

He's a little tired from playing like this, not to mention Durant, who has more playing time than him.

In the fourth quarter, Durant still stayed on the court, and the Thunder attacked for the first time with the ball and hit Zhang Xiaotian.

A feint to shoot and then wipe it in, Durant's shot is accurate, so the feint can easily change the defender's center of gravity.

However, this time Zhang Xiaotian only returned to normal in an instant.

After the stub skill is activated, the ability to control the body has been improved to the extreme.

Now Zhang Xiaotian is extremely familiar with his skills, and after improving his strength, he instantly entered the state.

Keep up with the opponent's footsteps, make a physical contact, and then cut the ball off when the opponent feels wrong.

Zhang Xiaotian successfully defended head-on, and then launched a counterattack in a tomahawk style.

Durant has a lot of consumption, but he still has physical strength, but Zhang Xiaotian's sudden strengthening made him a little uncomfortable.

Next, the Thunder attacked Durant twice and failed to find a good opportunity, defending this kind of thing, after a perfect achievement, it will leave a psychological shadow on the opponent, and Durant is not so bold in making moves.

On the contrary, Zhang Xiaotian seized the opportunity to play another one, Durant is not slow on offense, and it is difficult for his height to adjust his pace so quickly in defense.

Seeing Durant's sweaty appearance, the Thunder could only let him go down to rest first.

It's just that after Durant goes down, Kyle Singeler will be even more unable to restrain Zhang Xiaotian.

The Thunder could only fight with the Warriors on offense, Westbrook was replaced by Iguodala and looked very average, but Enes Kanter attacked well on the inside.

It's just that compared to Zhang Xiaotian's efficiency, they are still close, and the Warriors have regained a double-digit lead.

The Thunder had no choice but to replace Durant again, and the Warriors also took the opportunity to change to the strongest lineup, and the two sides began the final battle.

Durant rested for a while, hit a three-pointer, and soon made a foul on Zhang Xiaotian, but Zhang Xiaotian quickly returned a three-pointer and assisted his teammates to hit.

Four fouls are nothing at all, and he is getting more and more new to defending Durant.

And the Thunder desperately chased the score to only single digits, but the game time was not enough.

Durant began to hold the ball and force a three-point shot, and a smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Xiaotian's mouth, he really underestimated him for playing like this.
