Chapter 474: Thunder fights, you must win the last one
The Thunder are on offense, and they're going to use up those 24 seconds to try to give the Warriors less time.
Wei Shao slowly dribbled at the top of the arc, and Curry defended alone.
Tony Allen defends Durant and Zhou Yang defends Sefrosa.
With six seconds left on the offensive time, Durant took advantage of Ibaka's cover and suddenly ran to the sideline.
Wei Shao immediately passed the ball over.
The direction in which Durant ran was away from Zhou Yang's side, just to prevent Zhou Yang from breaking the ball.
After receiving the ball, Durant suddenly found that Chandler had pounced in front of him.
Chandler was a center forward tall enough to defend him.
But Durant is more flexible, and he can get rid of Chandler and make another move.
It's just that there is not much time to attack, and it is too late for him to shake again, which is why Chandler dares to go up to make up for the defense!
Durant had no choice but to dribble the ball twice, and then use a backward drift shot!
Chandler couldn't help it, reached out and interfered, but it didn't work, and Durant still hit this difficult three-pointer.
Death is death, it's amazing!
Swish!
At 59:58, the Thunder trailed by only one point.
The Warriors have 11 seconds left on offense.
Tekoglou serves the ball quickly.
The Thunder players subconsciously ran to Zhou Yang's side, and they probably forgot that the Warriors still have a killing god.
Zhou Yang was on the left, Curry was on the right, and Turkoglu threw the ball directly to Curry.
Wei Shao was also struggling towards Zhou Yang just now, and when he saw Curry receiving the ball, he was shocked and knew that something bad was wrong.
Curry was open in front of him, and after receiving the ball, he was in a no-man's land, and he hit the basket and scored two points easily.
There were 1.4 seconds left in the first half.
At 61:58, the Warriors took another three-point lead.
The Thunder team served the baseline ball, and Wei Shao threw one directly in the backcourt, but the result was three non-sticks, and the half-time game ended.
Durant was in a frustrated mood, although the difference was not big, only 3 points behind, but Zhou Yang's mastery of the rhythm of the game, as well as Curry's touch, made him feel desperate in his heart.
The other Thunder players felt the same way, so they all walked to the tunnel with their heads down.
Although Thunder fans are still desperately cheering for them, and even many fans reach out to high-five Durant and cheer for him, Durant doesn't have that mind.
He pretended not to see it and walked over quickly.
At halftime, in the T-NT live broadcast room, Barkley was already boldly predicting that the Warriors would defeat the Thunder 4-2 and advance to the Finals.
"Seeing no, Zhou Yang began to exert his strength, he didn't want to fight to grab seven!" As a die-hard fan of Zhou Yang, Barkley's analysis of Zhou Yang is quite accurate.
Smith didn't refute him, and nodded slightly: "Indeed, the whole Warriors team is ruthless, and Zhou Yang only played more than 5 minutes in the first quarter, so it is obvious that he is going to close the game in the second half."
"Alas, it's a pity, the Thunder team is also a youth army, and their talent is off the charts, who let them be born at the wrong time, they met the Splash Brothers, and they are destined to become the background......
When he said this, Barkley was visibly emotional, as if he had thought of something.
Of course, Smith understands Barkley, who led the Suns and swept the league that year, but unfortunately, he lost to Jordan, the god of basketball, in the Finals.
This became an eternal pain in his heart, and in the early years of Barkley, he always said that he was born at the wrong time and met Jordan.
In recent years, he has become more mature, and he rarely says such things.
But deep down, he still feels sorry for himself, if it weren't for Jordan, Barkley would definitely have ruled the league for a few years.
In fact, who of the superstars of Jordan's generation didn't think so?
Without Jordan, it is estimated that the fate of a large number of stars would have changed.
Think about it, Barkley, Karl Malone, Sean Kemp, they have one or two more championship rings, it will be one
What is the status?
The second half began.
The Thunder three madness that the Thunder home fans were looking forward to did not come, but the "brave three madness" who fought away came.
Zhou Yang connected three people and used a stop-and-go jump shot to set off the prelude to the three madness!
Curry then picked up a pass from Turkoglu and hit a difficult three-pointer from the corner.
Immediately afterwards, Wei Shao's breakthrough was cut off by Zhou Yang, and a counterattack was launched, and Tony Allen quickly attacked and scored 2 points.
With more than three minutes played in the third quarter, the Warriors' lead came to 10 points.
Brooks put his head in his hands, cursed "FXXK", and called a timeout.
The timeout was just to interrupt the Warriors' offensive momentum, but he didn't say a word to the players and ran to the side to sulk.
This is still rare in competitions.
The Thunder players are actually very depressed, they don't work hard, but the Warriors' onslaught is too scary, they really can't prevent it!
Durant saw that the coach ignored the players, and as the star of the house, he had to tell his teammates a few words to let everyone strengthen their defense.
In fact, most of the Thunder's players have lost confidence.
Only Wei Shao was still full of energy, and he kept yelling, cheering up his teammates and fighting for this one.
This is also the reason why Wei Shao has many fans, no matter what happens on the field, he is always the most passionate player, and he will never admit defeat and never give up!
The timeout ended and the game continued with no substitutions on either side.
After the Thunder players re-entered the court, they were indeed stimulated, and the intensity of the defense increased, and they even did not hesitate to take foul measures, just to stop the Warriors' offense.
This ferocious attitude worked, and the Warriors' offense stalled.
Durant took the opportunity to increase his shots, felt good, and caught up by a few points.
The third quarter played more than 6 minutes, and the difference between the two teams came to 4 points, 70:56.
Nelson Sr. also called a timeout.
He was worried that the players would get hurt.
The Thunder players are too fierce and trapped, and the Warriors players need to take a break, after all, this is the third quarter.
Durant and Westbrook high-fived and roared, the two of them are the hope of Thunder fans, and if they can't keep their home court, then they will have to go home fishing this year.
Maybe this year is the closest year to the Grand Final.
If he loses this year, Harden may not be able to keep him next year, and there will be more headaches for the detonator.
In the parallel world before Zhou Yang traveled, the Thunder gave Harden to the Rockets in order to save millions of dollars.
This operation directly turned the Thunder team from a championship team to an ordinary strong team.
This also made many Thunder fans resentful, feeling that it was the detonator that ruined such a good lineup.
And Harden is not an ambitious person, he really didn't want to go out and start a sect by himself, at that time he just wanted to be by the side of the eldest brother and the second brother, and play happily.
Later, the development of the three proved that they are really a rare combination in history.
Three VPs, three scoring titles, and a whole host of other accolades.
