Thomas Jr. played mediocre in both rounds of the playoffs because his speed and agility were limited.

The Spurs have Mills on the bench who can firmly limit Thomas Jr., and the Rockets' Brooks Jr. and Beverley, both of which are difficult to deal with.

After all, Thomas Jr. is a rookie sophomore and has not yet reached his peak.

But today, he lived up to Curry's trust.

After receiving Curry's pass, Thomas Jr. made a firm three-point shot -

Swish!

Hollow hits.

Due to his lack of height, Thomas Jr.'s projection arc is particularly large, which is larger than Curry's arc, so once he scores in the hollow, he looks particularly cool.

The Warriors teammates all rushed over excitedly, bumped their chests with Thomas Jr. in celebration, and yelled in unison.

Zhou Yang also jumped up on the bench, waving a towel and cheering for Thomas Jr.'s three-pointer.

The atmosphere in the Warriors is so good, especially the players on the bench, who will be sincerely encouraged by everyone.

Thunder head coach Brooks was a little flustered.

Zhou Yang and Curry are terrible enough, and now there is another little Thomas, how can this be played.

Looking back, the Thunder's Harden took advantage of his teammates' cover and went to the restricted area to give his teammates a piece of cake.

Thunder interior Collison caught the ball with a violent dunk and returned the 2-point mark.

Warriors fans have seen how powerful Harden is, and he is worthy of being the offensive engine of the Thunder.

In the next round, Thomas Jr. held the ball at the top of the arc, saw Curry run to the bottom corner, and immediately passed.

Just before Harden pounced, Curry shot at the speed of light!

That's fast!

Swish!

Curry finally opened in the second quarter!

Thomas Jr. reciprocated the favor and gave Curry a three-pointer!

After Curry scored, he excitedly pointed at Thomas Jr. and kept nodding.

The Oracle Arena erupted instantly, and the fans roared excitedly again.

It's so cool!

In the next few rounds, both sides played well, but the Warriors always maintained a five-point lead.

Harden was in a bit of a hurry.

In the last round against the Clippers, Harden's plus/minus was as high as +68, which means that in seven big games, he can help the Thunder recover about 10 points per game.

But today, his plus/minus is still negative.

As a result, Harden increased his individual offense.

Harden and Curry began to battle three-pointers.

It's a good look.

Zhou Yang cheered for Curry on the sidelines, and Durant and Wei Shao cheered for Harden on the sidelines.

Players on both sides were excited, feeling like it wasn't the Finals, as if it was Harden and Curry battling it out for the three-point contest.

Six minutes were played in the second quarter, and the coach made no substitutions.

Curry made four three-pointers and Harden made three, and the two were evenly matched.

Every time they scored a three-pointer, the audience applauded wildly.

Warriors fans are generous and patterned, and they applaud Curry and cheer for Harden.

In the end, Brooks called a timeout, after all, Harden has an asthma root and suffers physically.

Plus, he's heavier than Curry and needs to rest.

Curry had a great time, he ran to the sidelines and yelled at the fans, which was really exciting!

Both sides deployed their troops for the final stage of the first half. Look at the book

Curry was also replaced to rest, and Zhou Yang took other main players and Butler on the court.

Durant, Wei Shao, Ibaka and other main players also came up.

Zhou Yang found that there was murderous aura in Durant's eyes.

When he was sitting below just now, Durant thought a lot, as the boss of the Thunder, he had been pressed by Zhou Yang, which was too hurtful.

Although he is usually quite gentle, when it comes to the court, Durant's competitiveness is no worse than anyone else's.

The Thunder attacked, and Durant received the ball.

Zhou Yang wanted to help defend, but was blocked by Ibaka.

In fact, with Zhou Yang's ability to go around the defense, he could squeeze through, but Ibaka made too many small moves and directly pulled Zhou Yang's arm.

The referee should have seen it, but there was no whistle.

It may be that they thought that they had reached the Western Decision, so they relaxed the scale.

Durant faced Tony Allen, and he simplified his movements again, trying to pull back.

Tony Allen had no choice but to resort to foul tactics.

Honk!

The referee's whistle blew and pointed at Tony Allen, who blew him for a foul.

Durant made three free throws.

The Warriors' home fans began to boo the referee, they thought that the referee was too biased, and Zhou Yang didn't blow the whistle when he was pulled just now.

But Zhou Yang was quite big-bellied, he waved his hand at the audience, signaling everyone not to boo the referee.

After all, misjudgments are part of the game.

Just come back in the next round.

Durant made three of three free throws to close the gap.

Warriors offense.

Zhou Yang advanced with the ball, and after half the court, in the face of Sefrosa's single defense, Zhou Yang accelerated, and then used a quick stop to throw Sephorosa away by half of his body.

No way, although the Swiss Army Knife has studied Zhou Yang for a season, Zhou Yang's moves are all improvised, and he does not rely on a few rigid movements to excel.

He will always decide on the next pass based on the opponent's center of gravity and subtle body movements.

Throwing off Sephorosa, Zhou Yang immediately threw a shot!

Swish!

Returned the favor with Durant with a ball.

Although it was not a three-point shot, Zhou Yang's stable shot kept the Warriors from falling behind.

In the next round, Durant catches the ball again.

Zhou Yang started ahead of schedule and went over to wrap Durant, who hurriedly passed the ball to Sefrosa in the empty space.

The Swiss Army Knife was a little hesitant and did not dare to throw it.

Durant was in a hurry, jumped to his feet and shouted, "Shoot! Cast bravely!"

As a result, Sefrosa hesitated and still missed.

Fortunately, Ibaka worked hard to make up for the dunk and scored 2 points for the Thunder.

This year's Thunder is indeed very strong, and the degree of enthusiasm and tacit understanding is much stronger than last year.

With 37 seconds left in the second quarter, the score was 61-57 and the Warriors led by four points.

Warriors offense.

This offense is important, and if it can't be scored, it gives the Thunder a chance.

Although the Thunder can't theoretically catch up with the score, being able to narrow the gap to within one or two points before halftime is very important for the players' psychology.

After half the time, Zhou Yang found that the thunder was suddenly in the bag.

Durant and Sephorosa sandwiched Zhou Yang in the middle.

This is Durant's advantage, a bit like Zhou Yang.

They all do the dirty work for the team's victory, and they don't care about their coffee position.

Durant is a player at the same level as Zhou Yang, but when it is time to wrap the clip, he will still be packed.

Zhou Yang didn't dare to be careless, slowly retreated, and then saw the opportunity and passed the ball from Durant's armpit.

Toni Allen receives the ball and smashes it into the box.

In the face of Ibaka's reinforcement, Tony Allen passed the ball to Turkoglou again.

Agent makes a lateral move, then a jumper!

The movement is silky, but the feel is a little worse, and the basketball bounces out of the basket.

Chandler yelled and snatched the rebound.
