Chapter 375: Stealing Wang Curry
Harden didn't expect Curry to follow, and hurriedly stepped back, wanting to start over.
But Curry has stopped giving him a chance.
You know, in his previous life, Curry won the steal king in the season.
It's too fast.
Of course, Curry also suffered a lot of losses because of his quick start, and was whistled for a lot of fouls.
But this time, he broke the ball cleanly and decisively.
Syllable!
The ball is pulled out!
As soon as Curry bent down and pushed the ball forward, Harden turned to chase after him, and he was already more than half a meter behind.
There was no one at halftime, Curry took the lead, and scored two more points under the basket!
Curry had the upper hand this round.
Harden shook his head angrily, he had to fight back!
Zhou Yang and his teammates gave Curry a thumbs up and cheered loudly.
The Warriors' team culture is slowly building up to become a division of kings.
After more than four minutes of the fourth quarter, the Warriors took the lead again, 98-94.
Thunder head coach Brooks had no choice but to call a timeout, ready to change to the main lineup, and do the final showdown.
This is the first regular season game for both teams, and neither wants to lose.
And when it comes to the critical moment in the fourth quarter, it is to look at the quality of the stars.
Zhou Yang and Durant, Curry and Harden, Wei Shao, who can stand up in the final stage.
Everyone is waiting to see!
Curry walked to the sidelines, and Zhou Yang was the first to catch up and bump his chest with Curry to celebrate.
"Stephen, Niubi, haha!"
"Hey, hey, little meaning!"
The interaction of the Splash Brothers made the reporters on the sidelines raise their cameras one after another and aim at the two.
Since winning the championship, the topic of the Splash Brothers has been flooded with major sports forums.
Many people compare the Splash Brothers to some historical combinations, such as OK Brothers, Qiaopi Brothers, Utah Twins, and so on.
But neither Zhou Yang nor Curry responded, because the goal of the two was never a championship!
After the timeout, the main lineups of both sides came on.
The Thunder traded for Durant, Westbrook, Harden, Ibaka and Perkins.
This is the Thunder's strongest offensive lineup.
The Warriors brought on Zhou Yang, Chandler, Curry, Turkoglu and Tony Allen.
Durant, who has been 11 years old, has a lot of physical strength, and basically does not lose power in the fourth quarter.
So as soon as he came up, he received a pass from Harden, and pulled out his hand outside the three-point line.
Three-point hit!
98:97!
The Warriors are only one point ahead.
Oracle's home fans were immediately nervous.
The pressure came to Zhou Yang.
As the star of the Warriors, you have to respond.
Zhou Yang held the ball in the backcourt and gestured to his teammates.
The Warriors players all spread out, as if they were going to give Zhou Yang a single.
Thunder didn't dare to be careless, and immediately launched a package against Zhou Yang, and Durant and Wei Shao blocked Zhou Yang in front of him.
Zhou Yang didn't pass the ball, slowly dribbling the ball at the top of the arc, suddenly accelerating, and rushed in the direction of Durant.
Durant gained experience, and he stretched out his long arm to block Zhou Yang's breakthrough route.
But his center of gravity did not move sufficiently and was ready to change direction at any time.
Sure enough, Zhou Yang stopped halfway through, and glanced at Wei Shao.
Just when Dewey thought that Zhou Yang was going to change direction and break through from the other side, Zhou Yang broke through in Durant's direction again.
This change in rhythm is so unexpected.
Neither Dewey reacted.
Durant wanted to start up again to keep up, but it was too late.
In this way, the double bag clamp was easily cracked by Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang went to the edge of the penalty area, saw Ibaka make up for the defense, did not be greedy, and passed the ball directly to the vacant Tekoglu.
The agent was unrelenting, his hand was up and down, and he got two points.
100:97!
Thunder offense.
This time, Harden burst into the restricted area and stuffed the ball to Wei Shao, who cut in the air, and Wei Shao exploded and scored 2 points.
The Thunder's style of play is clear, as long as Harden is on the floor, no matter who it is, they will give the ball to Harden to dominate the ball.
Harden is also really good and organizes the team's offense.
But Harden's defense is indeed a problem, he can defend the third and fourth positions, but he is always unable to defend the first and second positions.
In the next round, Curry directly broke through Harden's defense, burst near the baseline, hit the board high, and scored two points.
The game is very exciting, the Splash Brothers vs. the Thunder Four Less!
At 2:21 in the fourth quarter, the score came to 113-111, and the Warriors still led by two points.
Time is running out, but the difference is still not widened.
The atmosphere at the scene became more and more tense.
Nelson Sr. called a timeout to give the players a break.
Curry has been playing for more than 9 minutes straight and needs a break, and Thomas Jr. is on the scene.
Thomas Jr. was touched that he was so valued as a rookie.
Replacing Thomas Jr. is mainly aimed at Harden.
After the timeout, the game resumed.
Warriors attack.
Thomas Jr. once again broke through Harden's defense and hit the paint.
Zhou Yang ran back, shook off the two defenders in the bag, and killed near the bottom line.
Thomas Jr. immediately divided the ball, and after Zhou Yang received the ball, he shook and flew Ibaka, and then hit the basket and faced Perkins, which was a dunk!
For Perkins, Zhou Yang always hates it inexplicably, and he doesn't know why.
So as long as there is a chance, Zhou Yang will detain him, and Perkins is also very depressed.
Last season, Zhou Yang once blocked Perkins three times in a game.
After the game, when Perkins was interviewed by reporters, he also looked helpless, and said aggrievedly: "I don't know why, Zhou Yang always withholds me, I don't think I messed with him......"
This interview was still popular for a while at the time, and after the fans saw it, they couldn't stop laughing, which was really pitiful.
Honk!
This time, Zhou Yang not only blocked Perkins, but also played a 2+1, because Perkins pushed Zhou Yang in the air.
To be honest, it is still quite dangerous, if it weren't for Zhou Yang's systematic protection, it was very likely to be injured.
Zhou Yang lay on the ground for more than ten seconds, stood up, and walked to the free throw line.
Penalty hit!
At 116:111, the Warriors extended the margin to five points.
It's subtle.
If the Thunder don't respond, then the Warriors take the game.
The pressure is on Durant's side.
Durant gestured toward Harden and then silently walked to the right sideline.
Harden pushed into the frontcourt, called a cover, and killed near the paint.
Serge Ibaka suddenly moved sideways to block Tony Allen, and Durant ran to the bottom corner to open the space.
Harden quickly split the ball and accurately found Durant in the bottom corner.
Death returns, scythe wielding!
Swish!
Three-point hit!
This goal vividly demonstrated Harden's ability to break through and distribute, as well as Durant's ability to go off the ball.
116:114, the score difference instantly returned to 2 points.
Wonderful!
After the goal, Durant and Harden hit their chests and roared!
This season's Thunder team is ambitious, and the four young people all want to make contributions to the Thunder and win the championship!
Warriors offense.
Zhou Yang knew in his heart that this was no longer an ordinary regular season!
