Chapter 450: The fight for overtime
Warriors fans began chanting Zhou's name.
Zhou Yang waved to the fans, and he wanted to repay the lovely Warriors fans with the victory in the seven battles.
After the timeout, the Clippers attacked.
Maybe it was because the ball was cut off just now, so Paul was extra cautious, and he glanced at Zhou Yang from the corner of his eye while breaking through to the penalty area.
Griffin flicked his position and pointed to the basket for an aerial relay.
After Chandler went off the court, the advantage of the Clippers on the interior was too great.
Paul understood and immediately threw it up.
Just as Griffin took off, a figure suddenly rose from behind him!
Griffin's bounce ability is already among the best in the league.
But the man who took off behind him was faster than him and higher in height than him!
Syllable!
Zhou Yang roared angrily, grabbed the ball with one hand in the air, and protected it.
After landing, before Griffin could react, a long flick was thrown directly to Tony Allen on the left.
Thompson immediately went after him, but Turkoglu and Curry split up and stepped forward to pick them up.
Toni Allen passes the ball to Turkoglou.
At this time, Paul rushed over and blocked Curry, and Turkoglu hit the penalty area and threw it away!
Turkoglou was average in this series, and he was very suppressed by Griffin.
But this goal is worth a lot of money!
Zhou Yang ran over, high-fived Tekoglu, and patted him on the shoulder.
He knew that the agent had been belittled by a lot of media and fans in this series.
So Turkoglu is also holding his breath and hoping to contribute to the team.
However, in this tie-break, Turkoglou's performance was still very poor, and he only scored 7 points in the whole game.
You know, his salary is not low, $1,200 a year, which is the third highest salary in the team.
This kind of performance is really difficult for fans to accept.
So some extreme fans stomped on Turkoglu in the forum, and even threatened the team owner to fire Turkoglu in the offseason.
However, Zhou Yang supported him.
Tekoglu has his strengths, but the Clippers' Griffin does have a bit of a knees.
As long as he passes the Clippers, Turkoglu will definitely play as he deserves for the rest of the playoffs.
Sure enough, in the final moments of overtime, Turkoglu scored the crucial two points!
130:126, the Warriors lead by 4 points!
The 4 points ahead were all opportunities created by Zhou Yang relying on tenacious defense, and they were all converted into scores.
The Clippers head coach's face turned pale, and he knew that the tide was turning.
At this point, there are 19 seconds left in the game.
The Clippers have to storm once.
They didn't have a timeout, they could only serve from the baseline, and the Warriors pressed it all over the court.
Paul still has a lot of experience, and a long pass early to Thompson.
Thompson was just about to make a move, but saw that Zhou Yang had already pounced, and in desperation, he had no choice but to pass it to Foye again.
Foye can't pass anymore, make an urgent move, boom!
Bounced out of the basket, Jordan Jr. grabbed the rebound and passed it to Paul.
Paul makes a three-point shot!
At this point, there were only 6 seconds left in the game.
Just at the moment when the basketball was off the tip of his finger, Curry flew up from the side and snapped!
He even gave Paul a big hat!
This ruthless hat seems to announce to the world that the era of attacking defenders has arrived!
The era of traditional point guards is coming to an end!
Paul was taken aback and tried to grab the ball again, but the ball had already flown off the line.
There are 4.2 seconds left in the race.
The Clippers are powerless......
In the end, the Warriors scored 4 points
defeated the Clippers and won the tiebreaker with difficulty!
When the referee announced the end of the game, the Warriors players jumped up excitedly and pounced on Zhou Yang in unison.
Everyone knows very well in their hearts that the team's victory is an opportunity that Zhou Yang desperately gets.
Zhou Yang hugged his teammates, and he was also very moved, this victory was really hard-won.
The physical exertion of the old Nelson is also very large, as a head coach of such an age, he almost stood on the sidelines throughout the game and never sat down.
After seeing the team's victory, he almost collapsed in the dugout, closed his eyes, he needed to rest.
Although Paul was frustrated, he still walked to Zhou Yang first.
Whether he admits it or not, the Warriors are indeed the better team.
"Zhou Yang, come on, strive to win two consecutive championships!" Paul blessed him sincerely.
Zhou Yang's impression of Paul is average, mainly because he has too many small defensive moves, and sometimes he is very annoyed.
In a game, even if Zhou Yang is not in the same position as Paul, he will occasionally be elbowed by him.
But calm down and think about it, Paul is not easy, he has been in the NBA for many years with a height of 1.83 meters and has won a lot of honors.
His analysis of the situation on the pitch and his vision of the pitch are top-notch.
It's just that now is the era of small ball, and his attack power is weak, which leads to his low upline.
"Thank you, we will work hard, your Clippers will definitely be stronger next year, I hope we will fight seven more games next year!"
"Okay, seven big fights next year!"
Then Paul and Curry also chatted for a long time.
Curry's three-point ability, as well as his increasingly strong ability to shoot the ball, make Paul extremely envious.
"Stephen, your time has come, and it seems that the dynasty of warriors is promising!"
Curry was humble and said, "It's hard to say what the future holds, and the Clippers have great hope, so don't be discouraged."
Paul nodded and smiled, "No, I have already made an appointment with Zhou Yang just now, and I will fight seven more battles next year!"
Curry also smiled, "Okay, then let's fight again next year!"
After the greetings, Zhou Yang led the Warriors players to the sidelines and bowed to the lovely Warriors fans to thank them.
Warriors fans were really excited in today's game, and they were cheering on the sidelines all the time.
The other playoff games in the East and West have also been decided.
The Thunder in the West defeated the Spurs 4-2 to enter the Western Conference finals.
The Celtics in the East defeated the 76ers 4-3 to enter the Eastern Conference Finals.
The Celtics' old Big Three will fight the Heat's new Big Three in the Eastern Conference Finals.
The meeting between the Warriors and the Thunder was predicted by many media at the beginning of the season.
But the Warriors and Clippers fought seven games, which fans and the media did not expect.
Before the game, the media was again predicting the outcome of the Western Conference Finals.
The result was more than sixty percent of reporters who thought the Warriors would have the last laugh.
However, none of these predictions are fixed, and once a match is over, the prediction will change dramatically.
When Zhou Yang was interviewed, he gave a lot of respect to the Thunder team.
"The Thunder are very strong, their players are very talented, their age structure is reasonable, and they are the favorites to win the championship for years to come!"
