Chapter 254: Zhou Yang cleaned up one by one
Brooks had to put his main man back on the court and had to pull the difference back in the first half.
At the same time, the Thunder team finally put down their face and began to wrap up Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang had long expected this step, just right, he could take a break and then let his teammates play.
The other players of the Warriors played 4 against 3, and they played vigorously and beautifully.
Curry and Turkoglu shot indiscriminately, Chandler protected the rim inside, and the Warriors' offense was still ferocious.
However, the Thunder's offense has also improved, because Durant has learned smartly, borrowing his teammates to cover and pull out directly, while avoiding Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang is not in a hurry, now is a good opportunity for teammates to clash with strong teams.
The scores of the two sides have been deadlocked, and the score difference is around 15.
It is not easy for the Warriors to pull away from the score, and it is difficult for the Thunder to catch up.
At the end of the first half, the score came to 63:50, and the Warriors led by 13 points.
At the last moment, Durant shot a three-point shot, otherwise the difference would have been 16 points.
The suspense of the second half is still there, but Thunder fans know in their hearts that Zhou Yang did not exert any strength at all in the second quarter.
So there is still no smile on the faces of Thunder fans, and they are worried that Zhou Yang will take the game directly in the second half.
In the live broadcast room of Huaxia Sports Channel, Director Zhang was full of praise for Zhou Yang.
"Zhou Yang has a lot of personality today, it seems to be cleaning up one by one, haha!"
"No, I used to think Zhou Yang was quite gentle, but I didn't expect it to be so exciting, haha!"
"We need all kinds of different types of players in Huaxia, and we can't let foreigners feel that we are all humble and low-key."
"That's right, you should be domineering, today's Zhou Yang made me know him again!"
"In fact, at the World Championships, Zhou Yang did a good job, although he almost lost to the dream team in the end, but his influence on the national team was too great."
"I think our Chinese fans are very lucky, Yao Ming has just retired, and Zhou Yang has come up, and the ceiling is higher!"
"Seriously, I'm a little looking forward to the Olympics in 12 years, haha, will Zhou Yang bring us a bigger surprise?"
"Don't really say it, when the time comes, the UAE and Sun Yue will also come to the peak, and Zhou Yang will not be able to enter, that scene ...... I don't dare to think about it! ”
……
The two commentators talked about the future, and the Chinese fans were full of enthusiasm, and they couldn't get excited.
At the beginning of the second half of the game, as Thunder fans feared, Zhou Yang broke out again!
Zhou Yang, who played soy sauce in the second quarter, began to attack with the ball in the third quarter.
Facing Sephorosa and Durant's bag, Zhou Yang first passed the ball to Tekoglu, and then bypassed Durant and ran towards the bottom corner.
At the moment when Durant and Seferosa were in hot pursuit, Zhou Yang received a pass from Turkoglou.
Now as soon as Zhou Yang gets the ball, the Thunder players are nervous.
Zhou Yang immediately made a shooting motion, and Sephorosa jumped up.
But Durant was smart, he didn't jump because he had studied Zhou Yang for a long time.
Zhou Yang saw that Durant was not fooled, so he simply continued to break through to the bottom line.
Durant clinged to Zhou Yang, and at the same time signaled to Ibaka to hurry over to help defend.
At the moment when he was about to reach the bottom line, Zhou Yang suddenly turned around and threw Durant behind him.
Spinning top!
Durant was shocked, and if he wanted to turn around and chase after him, it was too late.
Luckily, Ibaka has pounced.
With the lesson of the first quarter, Ibaka did not jump easily, but relied on his height and long arms to cover Zhou Yang underneath.
Just when everyone thought that Zhou Yang was helpless, Zhou Yang suddenly stretched the ball behind Ibaka and threw the ball up!
Ibaka thought that Zhou Yang was going to lower his hand and make a layup, so he hurriedly turned around to block it, who knows-
The ball actually drew an arc and returned to Zhou Yang's hand!
This game is exactly what Iverson played at the All-Star Game back then.
At the moment when Ibaka turned around, Zhou Yang received his pass and made a jump shot.
Ibaka has been tricked!
Players on both sides were stunned!
This is an official competition, not an all-star, how dare you?
After scoring the goal, Zhou Yang himself was also very excited, because he didn't think about it in advance, he just had an idea and suddenly thought of it.
The Warriors teammates all rushed over, bumped their chests with Zhou Yang and roared, and everyone was excited about Zhou Yang's amazing goal.
There is no doubt that this goal will be the top five goals of the day, and it will even be in the top 10 of the year's goalscorer!
Zhou Yang led his teammates to play the "Yongsan Crazy"!
With more than seven minutes in the third quarter, the Warriors' lead came to 21 points.
84:63!
Brooks sighed......
It seems that as long as Zhou Yang is here, it will be too difficult to turn the tables.
The Thunder began to make substitutions, replacing Wei Shao with Harden.
Harden came on early, added a ball-handling spot, and Brooks wanted to try again.
Not to mention, after Harden came up, he played blocking and dismantling for several rounds in a row, and it was all done.
Coupled with Durant's recovery and consecutive goals, the Thunder played a wave of 9:2 small climax in the second half of the third quarter.
The margin is back to 14 points.
Thunder fans see hope of winning again.
At the end of the third quarter, the score came to 72:86.
Brooks also struggled, and at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Durant and Harden appeared at the same time, in order to close the difference to within 10 points.
Zhou Yang sat down and rested with a serious expression.
Although he played an amazing performance in the first half, Zhou Yang knew in his heart that the talent of the Thunder team was here, and it would be difficult to win big.
As long as you play well in the second half, the Thunder will definitely catch up, and it will take until the end of the fourth quarter to separate the winner.
Sure enough, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Durant and Harden had a huge advantage, and the difference was reduced to 7 points at once.
Nelson Sr. didn't panic, because he knew that Durant's physical strength was average, and he would definitely not be able to play full in the fourth quarter.
Even if he wants to play the fourth quarter, his shooting percentage will drop at the end.
Sure enough, after more than 4 minutes in the fourth quarter, Brooks replaced Durant and Harden with Willis.
Nelson Sr. immediately put the Splash Brothers and other main players back on the court, ready to take over the game.
Durant and Harden are nervous off the court, and they are worried that the Warriors will take them away in waves, so there is no need for them to play.
Who knows, the situation on the field changed abruptly, and Wei Shao suddenly found his senses.
Dawei Shao not only broke through sharply, but his zombie jump shot also hit frequently.
Although the warriors can score by relying on Zhou Yang, Zhou Yang does not shoot much under the bag.
Under the leadership of Wei Shao, the difference continued to narrow to 3 points.
Old Nelson was so angry, he didn't expect Wei Shao to break out!
Zhou Yang didn't feel surprised, Wei Shao already had this ability.
The Warriors called a timeout, and Zhou Yang and his teammates high-fived and comforted everyone.
