Chapter 470: The Battle of Tianwang Mountain, There Are No Secrets to Speak of!
The game was too close, there were no secrets to the tactics of both sides, and now it was all about willpower, endurance and resilience.
The Warriors and Thunder have different mentalities.
The Thunder were hoping to take a big lead in the third quarter because Brooks was not confident in the fourth quarter.
The Warriors, on the other hand, are unhurried, as long as they can hold on to a stalemate in the third quarter, then Zhou Yang can definitely take over the game in the fourth quarter.
It is precisely because of the different mentalities of the two sides that the performance on the field is different.
The Thunder are playing in a hurry, and their defensive moves are getting bigger.
Warriors players are often knocked to the ground or hit by defenders.
However, the Thunder players are not too dirty, and their movements are big, but they don't use yin tricks, such as stepping feet or pushing people in the air.
So soon, the Warriors started shooting free throws.
This makes it harder and tougher for the Thunder.
The third quarter played more than 8 minutes, and the score was 86-82, and the Warriors led by four points.
Brooks called a timeout, and he wanted to switch to the bench to give Durant a little more rest and then have plenty of energy to take over the game in the fourth quarter.
At least in Zhou Yang's madness, the Thunder needs Durant to stand up and compete with him!
Harden is on the court, as are Ibaka and Westbrook, and this is another lineup for the Thunder.
This is the role of Harden, although his role is to be a substitute, in fact, he is the capital that the Thunder can play against strong teams.
Durant and Wei Shao are certainly fierce, but they are easy to be restrained, after all, both of them are strong in individual ability and let go, but there is no team tactics.
And Harden's pick-and-roll tactics can activate other role players, making the Thunder's team lineup much thicker.
In fact, if you think about it, the three young thunderbolts are really terrifying.
All three have won VPs, and they have all won scoring titles!
As a result, the Thunder Dynasty was not built, which is indeed a pity for too many fans.
On the Warriors' side, Curry went down to rest, and Zhou Yang continued to fight with Chandler, Thomas Jr., Livingston and Turkoglou.
After Harden came up, he made a sudden shot to help the Thunder score 6 points in a row and complete the overtake.
Warriors fans were stunned, this is too fierce, is the battle of Tianwang Mountain going to be explained?
Harden is a very good learner, and in the first few games, he suffered on the defensive end, so he simply didn't defend the fast Thomas Jr., but defended Tekoglu.
Not to mention, don't look at Tekoglu being taller than Harden, but in terms of movement, the two are not too much apart.
Zhou Yang passed a few balls and found that his teammates were in average condition, and he also started to attack.
In the next round, the Warriors attacked.
Zhou Yang held the ball past half of the court, and in the face of the bag, he looked left and right, making it look like he was going to pass the ball.
The Thunder players immediately made a noise, and the defenders ran aggressively to block Zhou Yang's passing route.
Who knows, Zhou Yang suddenly changed direction, accelerated, and squeezed past Nick Yang. Look at the book
Nick Yang still wanted to block, but Zhou Yang's strength was too strong, and with a bang, Nick Yang was almost knocked away, and he took several steps back.
He rubbed his shoulders and looked at Zhou Yang with a frightened face, thinking to himself that this was a person? Or a truck?
Zhou Yang hit near the bottom line, and in the face of the Thunder's Collison supplemental defense, he directly came to the ground pass.
Chandler catches the ball, takes a step, and hits the basket with both hands!
Zhou Yang turned his head to look at Harden and smiled: "Hey the cake, I will too!"
Harden was speechless, ignored Zhou Yang, and instructed his teammates to serve quickly, and he wanted to organize the offense.
Zhou Yang also commanded his teammates to quickly return to defense, and at the same time beckoned Thomas Jr. and asked him to come over and trap Harden.
In the first few games, after Harden was trapped, his ability to shoot the ball was a little poor, causing several turnovers.
That's why Zhou Yang wanted to continue to wrap him up.
Who knew that this time Harden reacted quickly, made two feints in a row, and then accurately passed the ball to the right side
Reggie Jackson.
Reggie has the ability to attack independently, but Reggie, who has been 12 years old, overlaps with Harden, so he can only assist Harden and play the role of an open pitcher.
Swish!
Reggie didn't work out on three points, turning Harden's passes into assists.
Zhou Yang was shocked, looked at Harden, and thought to himself that this bearded man is really high, and his evolution is so fast.
Harden also squeezed his eyes at Zhou Yang proudly, which was quite annoying.
The two have a very good relationship in private, but on the court, they must not give an inch, and occasionally spew a few trash words!
Warriors offense.
Zhou Yang let Thomas Jr. advance with the ball, and he stood with Tekoglu.
Thomas passed half-time, and Zhou Yang and Turkoglu mentioned high posts at the same time.
Thomas Jr. bypassed Zhou Yang and Turkoglu and shook off Reggie Jackson.
Then he took advantage of the situation to kill in the penalty area.
At the moment when Collison pounced to help the defense, Thomas Jr. made another ground-hitting pass and fed Chandler a big pie.
Bang!
Chandler is another slam dunk!
Eating two big cakes in a row made Thunder head coach Brooks angry.
In the next few rounds, both sides played well, and the score alternated upwards.
At the end of the third quarter, the score came to 93-91, and the Thunder led by 2 points.
It's really the battle of Tianwang Mountain, and every second of the game makes people feel suffocated.
Durant sat off the court with a solemn face, he entered the league 2 years earlier than Zhou Yang, but he had so many helpers, but he watched Zhou Yang win the championship.
This made Durant very depressed.
This year should be the best chance for the Sniper Warriors.
If he can defeat the uncrowned champion Warriors, reach the finals, and win the championship, then Durant will be able to suppress Zhou Yang, because he is a native of the United States and will be more sought after.
The fourth quarter began.
Durant unexpectedly appeared early.
On the Warriors' side, Zhou Yang rested below, and Curry took the bench against Durant and Harden.
It's a test for Curry.
Many fans of Zhou Yang will step on Curry in the forum, saying that his ability to lead the team alone is very poor.
This has taken a certain hit to Curry's self-esteem, but Curry looks cute and naïve, and his competitive spirit is indeed extremely strong.
And Zhou Yang also intended to let Curry exercise himself to lead the team alone, and the effect was very good.
The Thunder attacked, and as soon as Durant came up, he gave Curry a dismissal, he received a pass from Harden and hit a three-point shot at a 45-degree angle!
After the goal, Durant beat his chest and roared, boosting the morale of his teammates, and he hoped to take advantage of Zhou Yang's absence to open the score.
At 96:91, the Thunder already led by five points.
The Warriors attacked, Curry dribbled and advanced, and played a block with Butler.
At the moment when Nick Young changed his defense, Curry was more than a meter away from the three-point line, and suddenly made a three-point shot!
Durant was shocked and wanted to pounce, but it was too late.
Swish!
This super far three points, the skill is amazing, it is too shocking!
Curry and Zhou Yang's three-point viewing is different, Zhou Yang is domineering, while Curry is elegant!
