Chapter 422: Narrowly Defeating the Thunder, Encountering the Heat Again!
At the end of the timeout, Collison served the ball again.
Durant found out that the Warriors actually wrapped him up and down and didn't let him catch the ball at all.
The Thunder players ran desperately to help Durant cover, but Turkoglu and Zhou Yang clamped Durant firmly like sandwiches.
With five seconds running out, Collison had no choice but to pass the ball to Willis from beyond the three-point line.
Although Wei Shao's three-point shooting rate is average, when he reaches the critical moment of the game, he has a hard hand and can often seal his throat with a sword.
And his big heart makes him very confident in throwing key shots.
Thunder fans stood up excitedly, and countless pairs of expectant eyes focused on Wei Shao.
Wei Shao is no longer looking for Durant, one word, do it!
Who knows, before Wei Shao made a move, Curry suddenly went up and hugged Wei Shao.
This...... What's the operation?
Wei Shao himself was blinded, is this for me to make free throws?
That's right, this is what Zhou Yang told his teammates, except for Durant, anyone else will receive the ball and foul him directly, and he will not be given a chance to score a three-point shot!
Anyway, with so little time, can you still play flowers?
Brooks also expected Wei Shao to create a miracle, but when he saw Curry hugging Wei Shao, he could only sigh.
The referee's whistle blew for Curry's foul, and Willis made two free throws.
There is no way, Wei Shao has not yet made a shooting action, so he can only make two free throws, not three.
Wei Shao walked to the free throw line with a confused face.
Despite being a big-hearted player, he really wasn't ready to make free throws, and as a result, the first free throw was bounced out of the basket.
The home fans let out a desperate sigh, and some fans had already stood up and left the stadium early.
Second penalty, hit.
The Warriors served with 1.8 seconds left in the game.
Tekoglou passed directly to Tony Allen at the far end, Allen dribbled the ball twice and passed the ball directly to Zhou Yang, who saw that the time was coming soon, and immediately threw the ball into the sky......
The basketball is still in mid-air, and the red timing light is on.
The game is over, and the Warriors narrowly beat the Thunder!
Although the score is very close, everyone watching the game can feel that Zhou Yang's operations in the final stage are all textbook-level.
The Thunder really had no chance, there was no way at all, and they were completely pinched.
Durant sat on the floor in a daze, sighing silently.
He couldn't understand why he worked so hard and his teammates were strong, but he lost in the face of the Warriors.
The Warriors players celebrated, and Zhou Yang saw Durant's lonely figure, and he couldn't bear it.
So Zhou Yang walked over and helped Durant up.
"Kevin, you're not going to be cowardly, are you? We won this game, and we drew 2:2!"
Durant smiled bitterly: "The two games we won, one truce between you and one truce between Curry and Chandler, don't count."
Zhou Yang shook his head and said: "You can't say that, if you lose, you lose, the playoffs are changeable, no one can predict what will happen, we will definitely meet in the playoffs, I'm not sure I can win you."
Seeing that Zhou Yang was very sincere and did not have the slightest hint of ridicule, Durant smiled: "Okay, then we will meet in the playoffs, and then we will have a few happy battles!"
"You have a lot of potential, your teammates are great, come on!"
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then separated.
Wei Shao also came over to chat with Zhou Yang.
Although the two sprayed a lot of trash talk with each other during the game, their relationship was still quite good after the game.
Zhou Yang played 38 minutes today and scored 35 points, and Curry scored 28 points in 34 minutes.
Durant scored 37 points, Westbrook 23, Ibaka 12 and Harden 24.
The Splash Brothers and the Thunder Four actually scored about the same time, but when it came to the critical moment
, Zhou Yang's bonus to the warriors is too great.
And Zhou Yang still has 11 assists and 10 rebounds today, while Durant only has 4 assists and 7 rebounds.
After this game, Zhou Yang returned to first place in the VP list, Durant fell to second place, and James was still third.
There are not many regular season games left, and there are only two games left in the Warriors' focus battle.
One is at home against the Heat and one is away against the Clippers.
Needless to say, the grudge with the Heat is that the two teams are likely to meet again in the Finals.
And the Clippers are getting stronger and stronger this season.
The two teams have met four times this season, with the Warriors leading 2-1.
For Paul and Thompson, they don't want to lose to the Warriors in the regular season.
It's about the psychological warfare of the playoffs.
After beating the Thunder, the Warriors won two more games in a row before returning home to face the Heat.
In this game, both sides were not evenly matched.
The Warriors' Turkoglou is out with a sore knee, Butler is out with a finger contusion, and Livingston has a back injury and has been out for two games.
On the Heat's side, Wade has an old knee problem and wants to take a truce.
Although neither side is the strongest lineup, Zhou Yang and James are there, and the game is destined to become the focus of fans' attention!
James was clearly lacking in fighting spirit in this game.
He played just over 7 minutes in the first quarter before going off to rest.
Neutral fans were disappointed and they were expecting a match against Maimang.
But the Heat's team record is basically fixed, ranking second in the East.
On the VP list, Zhou Yang is also firmly in the first place, and James has no hope, so he began to paddle.
Zhou Yang's performance was very normal, he didn't fight hard, but he also worked hard.
He played more than 9 minutes in the first quarter, mainly organizing and responding, and was still serious on the defensive end.
The Warriors took a seven-point lead in the first quarter.
Without Wade, the Heat always seem to be missing something.
But after the Heat came off the bench, they played a good effect, James Jones and Mike Miller, and the three-point shooting began to soar.
And the Warriors, who lost Butler and Livingston, obviously couldn't stand it, and the Heat caught up with the score.
At the end of the first quarter, the score of the two teams was 28-26, and the Heat took the lead.
Zhou Yang appeared in the second quarter, led the bench, and once again overtook the score.
James didn't play until nearly six minutes into the second quarter.
However, the difference continued to widen, and at the end of the half, the score came to 56:46, and the Warriors led by 10 points.
Zhou Yang could see that James didn't want to fight much.
At the start of the second half, Heat head coach Spo made a change, with in-form James Jones and Mike Miller, as well as Battier mentioned to start.
Perhaps it was the positivity of these people that stimulated James, and the Heat began to explode in the third quarter.
James frequently smashes into the restricted area, either lays himself or assists his teammates.
After more than 7 minutes in the third quarter, the Heat unexpectedly tied the Warriors again!
