Chapter 591 - Fill the first section
Butler received the ball and made a layup, all in one go, and executed the Warriors' run-and-gun tactics very well!
After the goal, Butler and Tony Allen hit their chests and roared, and Zhou Yang also rushed over and high-fived Butler to encourage.
This is not a matter of getting two points, the point is that Zhou Yang broke the breakthrough of Harden and Wei Shao.
You know, the Thunder seem to have a lot of talent, but the engines are only Harden and Wei Shao.
If the engine is destroyed, the Thunder's attack is equivalent to half paralyzing.
Thunder head coach Brooks shook his head slightly, he felt that the Warriors were getting more and more terrifying, the Warriors in the regular season were not the real Warriors!
Once in the playoffs, the Warriors bared their sharp fangs!
Thunder offense.
Harden pushes forward with the ball again.
Faced with the bag, Harden took the ball out early and passed the ball directly to Durant.
After all, this is the Thunder's strongest scoring point, and Durant needs to step up.
As soon as Durant received the ball, Zhou Yang posted it.
If facing Tony Allen, Durant can simplify his moves and pull out directly.
But in the face of Zhou Yang, he didn't dare, because Zhou Yang's explosiveness was too strong, even if Durant was tall and had long arms, he might be covered by Zhou Yang.
So Durant could only turn his back to Zhou Yang, looking for an opportunity.
Zhou Yang clinged to his bottom plate and observed Durant's shoulders and knees, because these two parts can't deceive people.
Sure enough, Durant dribbled the ball for a few seconds before sprinting toward the right sideline.
Zhou Yang chased after him and did not lose his position.
Durant reached the sideline, suddenly made a sharp stop, and then bent his knees to jump, quickly close the ball, and prepare for a dry pull!
Zhou Yang was still staring at his knees and shoulders, knowing that Durant was really going to pull it out.
So Zhou Yang kicked the ground with both feet, almost at the same time as Durant, and rose into the air.
Just as Durant was about to make a move, Zhou Yang's fingertips stabbed the basketball.
Syllable!
Not a lot of force, but enough to poke the ball down.
Durant felt empty in his hands, secretly screamed badly, and when he looked again, the ball actually fell behind him.
The closest to Durant is teammate Sefrosa, he was just about to come over to grab it, but Zhou Yang actually had a second move!
As soon as Zhou Yang landed, he immediately jumped to the left and scooped the ball directly into his hand.
Durant was a little angry and grabbed Zhou Yang's arm violently.
Honk!
The referee's whistle blew and a foul was blown for the Durantra man.
Durant lowered his head and walked away, without justification, he also knew that he was still slightly inferior to Zhou Yang.
Maybe the gap between the Thunder and the Warriors is the gap between Durant and Zhou Yang.
The Warriors sent the sideline ball, and Zhou Yang sent it directly to Butler.
This is Butler's second season, and his ball-handling offense has improved.
Defending him was Wei Shao.
In terms of strength, the two are about the same, both are hard, but Butler's shot point is higher.
And Butler's style of play is very retro, often on the edge of the penalty area, turning over and jumping.
Zhou Yang likes Butler's style of play very much, and there are rumors on the Internet that Butler is the illegitimate son of God Joe.
In terms of personality, Butler is indeed a bit like Jordan, both of whom are extremely competitive and even a little paranoid.
In the face of Willis, Butler made a feint and then rolled over and made a jumper.
The movements were very smooth, but the moment of the shot was still interfered with by Wei Shao.
Boom!
Bounce the basket out.
Butler stomped his foot in frustration.
Who knows, Zhou Yang actually flew up in the air, grabbed the ball in the air before Ibaka, and slammed!
Shocking deductions!
After scoring the goal, Zhou Yang grabbed the basket with one hand, pointed at Butler, and yelled, "It's okay, brother, bold throw!"
Butler nodded vigorously, he was convinced by Zhou Yang
Take orally.
The team is covered by such a big brother, it is too secure!
Under the leadership of Zhou Yang, the Warriors continued to dominate, and the score gap slowly widened.
Harden played well in the last round of the playoffs, playing the role of a microwave.
As long as the Thunder are in trouble and the coach replaces Harden on the court, it will work well most of the time.
But today, his play was restricted by Zhou Yang.
Not only did the Thunder fail to turn around, but the Warriors pulled away the score.
At the end of the first quarter, the score came to 32-26, and the Warriors led by six points.
Zhou Yang played the first quarter to ensure the Warriors' stable output on both offensive and defensive ends.
In the live broadcast room of Huaxia CCTV, Zhang guided, Yu Jia and Yang Yi commented on the game again.
Coach Zhang was very happy today, because Zhou Yang played the first quarter and played very well.
"Zhou Yang was in very good shape in the first quarter today, haha, Bang Bang Bang, he dominated the game at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends!"
Yang Yi was expressionless and did not answer.
Yu Jia hurriedly echoed: "Yes, Zhou Yang felt like he was playing in the first few playoffs, and today he can be regarded as showing his real strength!" Look at the book
Seeing that Yang Yi didn't speak, Director Zhang continued to be angry with him.
"Hey, Yang Yi, I remember that before the Western Finals, you predicted that the Thunder would defeat the Warriors 4:1, on what basis?"
Yang Yi did make a prediction in a pre-match interview.
He predicted that the Thunder would eliminate the Warriors 4-1, and then the Cavaliers would beat the Heat 4-2, and the Cavaliers and Thunder would meet in the Finals.
"Director Zhang, you're too anxious, just after the first quarter, Zhou Yang has already used his strength to eat, and the Thunder Durant and Harden haven't made any effort yet."
Director Zhang shook his head slightly, he was also convinced, Yang Yi can really wash it.
Either way, he can give Yuan back.
Yu Jia couldn't help but want to scare Yang Yi, and said, "Zhou Yang's physical strength has always been top-notch, so he won't get tired, right?"
Yang Yi snorted: "No matter how powerful Zhou Yang is, he is also a human being, the first quarter is full, obviously he can't play, I estimate that his physical strength will be insufficient in the second half."
The second quarter began, with Curry coming on the pitch and coming off the bench.
This is a common routine used by the Warriors in recent games, and only occasionally it will be changed, such as Zhou Yang taking an early break in the first quarter and letting Curry play the first quarter.
Curry's stamina is also historic, and he plays a game like running a marathon, which will exhaust the defenders and vomit blood.
On the Thunder's side, Durant, Wei Shao, Ibaka and other main players also rested, and Harden played with the bench.
Although Curry and Harden are good friends in private, when it comes to the court, the two are the most competitive competitors.
The media is saying that Harden and Curry are variables in this Western Conference finals series.
Because Zhou Yang and Durant are the basic board of the two teams, and Harden and Curry will bring richer tactical changes to the team.
As soon as Curry came up, he threw a three-pointer in front of Harden, but unfortunately, he missed a little and didn't score.
But backup center Turiaf grabbed the frontcourt board and passed it to Curry again.
Curry didn't make a strong shot, he felt that he didn't feel good today, so he suddenly passed to Thomas Jr. on the left!
