Chapter 455: Death Came a Little Late

The second half began.

The demeanor of the Thunder players after they appeared on the court was a little weird, and Zhou Yang keenly felt it.

In the first half, the Thunder players were all excited and full of passion.

But in the second half, the Thunder players were all dazed and their eyes were in a trance.

What's the situation?

Thunder offense.

Wei Shao dribbled to the front court and passed to Durant.

But Durant hesitated, and he passed the ball to Ibaka again.

Serge Ibaka passed the ball to Sephorosa again.

It's weird, the Thunder players seem to be hesitant, as if they don't want to make a move.

Zhou Yang was overjoyed and felt that this was a good opportunity.

The Warriors, under the command of Zhou Yang, pressed the defense tightly and acted rudely.

Finally, when Sefrosa passed the ball to Durant at the end, Tony Allen struggled to cut the ball off.

After the break, Allen made a long pass to Curry.

Curry killed half the court, faced Wei Shao's defense, and made a shooting feint, and Wei Shao was deceived.

There's no way, Wei Shao's jumping ability is amazing, but it's easy to be impulsive, and the conditioned reflex is average, so he jumps.

Who knows, Curry turned out to be a feint, shook Wei Shao, and directly hit the basket, hitting the high board.

Warriors fans jumped and jumped with excitement, and the uncrowned champion finally played with momentum!

In the first half, although the Warriors overtook the score in the last 1 minute, they played a little aggrieved overall.

The Thunder are the Warriors' last opponent in the West, and if they beat them, they will make it to the Finals.

may be because they defeated the Heat Big Three last year, so Warriors fans feel that as long as they enter the Finals, they will not be afraid, and the championship is within reach.

In fact, when Zhou Yang faced media interviews, he expressed his respect for the Heat triumvirate more than once.

The margin widened to 3 points, and the Thunder attacked.

This time, Durant took the initiative to ask for the ball, and he had to take on the responsibility of the leader of the team.

After receiving the ball, Durant suddenly found that Zhou Yang and Tony Allen were wrapped up in him again.

Durant took advantage of his height and pulled it out directly!

It's a pity that Zhou Yang's bullet speed is too fast, and in order to get rid of Zhou Yang's interference, Durant still missed a little and bulleted out of the basket.

However, Ibaka fought very hard, he fought hard to grab the rebound and passed it to Wei Shao.

Wei Shao is a little up, he is vacant, so shoot immediately!

It's a pity, strike iron again!

Chandler protected the rebound and passed it to Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang quickly passed the half, and Sefrosa chased closely.

The Swiss Army Knife was under a lot of pressure, and he knew that he couldn't guard against Zhou Yang at all.

As long as Zhou Yang wants to exert force, he can exert force.

Zhou Yang hit the three-point line, and when he saw that Sefrosa was still behind him, he deliberately slowed down.

Sephorosa immediately rushed in front of Zhou Yang and wanted to stop Zhou Yang, but Zhou Yang suddenly accelerated, and the two collided shoulders!

The Swiss Army Knife is among the best in the league in terms of physicality, extremely tough, and he also made the second team of the year Defensive Team of the Year.

But Zhou Yang's power turned the Swiss Army Knife into a lollipop.

bang

Zhou Yang collided directly with him, knocking Sephorosa directly away, stumbling and almost falling.

And Zhou Yang's body didn't even shake, he easily hit the basket, dunked with one hand, and scored 2 points!

This breakthrough is the same as James's violent aesthetics, too domineering!

Head coach Brooks sighed again, this kind of frontal offense and defense, and then being knocked away, is really too demoralizing.

Sephorosa's shoulder ached, but he could only pretend not to care.

In the next few minutes, the Warriors were full of momentum, not only invincible on the offensive end, but also gave the Thunder great pressure on the defensive end.

whereas

On the Thunder's side, the players seem to be worried and don't know what they're thinking.

After more than 6 minutes in the third quarter, the Thunder had trailed by 9 points.

Brooks had no choice but to call a timeout.

Zhou Yang and Curry stood on the sidelines, excitedly interacting with the home fans, making everyone excited and louder!

After the timeout, the game resumed.

Under Brooks' reprimand, the Thunder players have a much more correct attitude, and the players high-five each other, as if they have abandoned their previous suspicions and united.

Sure enough, as soon as the Thunder team came up, Wei Shao broke through the ball, passed to Durant, hit a mid-range shot, and recovered 2 points.

However, the Warriors came back and rushed from Curry to the baseline, passed back to Tony Allenche to the basket, and stuffed it to Chandler to score two points.

This goal made the Thunder players very frustrated, because Zhou Yang was not involved at all, and the other Warriors players played smoothly.

The two of them had no effect on Zhou Yang's bag at all.

At the end of the third quarter, the Warriors still led by 12 points.

Although the score difference is not too big, if Thunder wants to chase the score, he can only rely on death to come!

Although the morale of the Warriors players is high, Zhou Yang is still very calm.

During his break, he called Tony Allen to his side and gave him a few words.

Tony Allen's role in the playoffs is getting heavier and heavier, confirming the famous saying -

"The regular season record is based on offense, and the playoff record is based on defense!"

Tony Allen has proven that his defense is an important guarantee for the Warriors' perimeter defense.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the main Warriors were all resting below.

The Thunder, led by Harden, began to chase points.

However, Thomas Jr. has gone through two rounds of playoff games and has improved a lot.

Harden led the Thunder to the bench, and the game was booming, and Thomas Jr. didn't let it go!

And Butler and Livingston, scoring is also very consistent.

The two sides played more than four minutes off the bench, and the Warriors still led by 11 points.

Durant couldn't sit still, he took the initiative to take off his jacket, walked to the sidelines, and was ready to play.

Brooks had to make substitutions, bringing Durant, Ibaka, and Sefrosa on the court, but Willow was still sitting underneath.

The offensive combination of Harden and Durant is enough.

Old Nelson hesitated for a moment, but held back, he didn't make a substitution, and still played with a substitute!

Durant was furious, he felt that the Warriors looked down on him, and even continued to use the bench to play against him.

So he shot like crazy!

He was in good shape, shooting 3 of 4 from the field and scoring 8 points in a row.

However, Butler and Livingston are also in good form and are also scoring in a row.

More than six minutes were played in the fourth quarter, and the Warriors still led by nine points.

The old Nelson felt that it was almost over, and also made a substitution, and the main force reappeared.

Brooks sighed softly, he knew that this game was going to be explained again......

Zhou Yang played less than 30 minutes today, his physical strength was extremely abundant, and Curry was in good shape.

Even if Durant feels hot next, he can't catch up.

He knew Zhou Yang too well.

At present, it seems that if you want to beat Zhou Yang in the fourth quarter, it will not be possible unless you lead by 20 points in the first three quarters.
