Chapter 599: Wei Shao is furious again
Thunder head coach Brooks still had a hint of illusion and immediately called a timeout.
Although the two Warriors have successfully completed their task by winning one game, the game is not over yet, and they must go all out.
The fourth quarter played more than four minutes, the score was 102:85, and the Warriors led by 17 points.
After the timeout, the two sides once again switched to the full main lineup.
Oracle Arena is full of people, and Warriors fans know the importance of this game, so they are also playing their part to make the Warriors' home court a veritable "devil's home"!
The Thunder fielded a small lineup, with Perkins sitting below and Harden continuing to play.
In terms of play, the Thunder have also become concise, and Harden has shortened his dribbling time.
Harden passed the ball directly to Durant, and Durant also reduced the bells and whistles, basically pulling out.
This style of play did reduce turnovers and deprive the Warriors' fast break of opportunities.
The score gap is slowly narrowing again.
Zhou Yang made a timely change, and he began to defend Durant around the front.
The Thunder seem to have a lot of talent, but in fact, Durant is the only big killer.
After going around the front defense, it became difficult for Durant to catch the ball.
Harden wanted to share the pressure on Durant, but he didn't attack well under Curry's defense, and he didn't shoot a three-point shot from a step-back.
Curry's power has increased a lot, and he has maintained flexibility, and it is a little difficult for Harden to get rid of Curry.
This forced Harden to start playing in the restricted area, wanting to make fouls, that is, touching porcelain.
But in this parallel world, the referee does not support Harden's style of play, and this is the Western Conference Final.
So Harden made two consecutive fouls with his arm in the restricted area, both of which failed.
The score between the two sides began to stalemate, and it was always around 15 points.
As the clock ticked by, the Thunder's hopes of winning became slimmer.
Just when Harden and Durant were at a loss, another Thunder fighter broke out.
That's Dawei Shao!
Due to Wei Shao's unstable projection, in this Western Conference final series, Wei Shao did not have many scenes, except for breakthroughs, the right to shoot was given to Durant and Harden.
Even Sefrosa shot more open threes than him.
But Wei Shao didn't complain, he didn't mess up, he has been helping the team in his own way.
Wei Shao began to break through the Warriors' interior frequently, and then settled the battle with his characteristic zombie jumper.
Fans know that Wei Shao's zombie jump shot is not very consistent.
But when it came to the critical moment in the fourth quarter, his jump shot was suddenly reliable again.
Whew!
Wei Shao scored three consecutive attacks, and even caused a defensive foul on Tony Allen in the third time, and it was 2+1.
The difference was quickly reduced to 9 points.
Old Nelson hurriedly called a timeout.
Wei Shao roared loudly, and his Thunder teammates also rushed over and bumped their chests with Wei Shao to celebrate.
Even if the whole team gives up, there will be one person in the Thunder who will continue to fight, and that is Dawei Shao!
The Thunder's morale was high, and with more than 3 minutes left in the game, the situation became delicate.
If Wei Shao can't be contained, then it is very likely that the Thunder will catch up with the score at the last moment.
Zhou Yang sat on the bench, took a sip of Gatorade, called Tony Allen over, and muttered a few words, Tony Allen nodded again and again.
Tony Allen's position on the team is getting heavier and heavier, especially in the playoffs, and it's all about defense.
So Barbossa had to be put on the bench.
The timeout ended, and players from both sides re-entered the game.
Wei Shao is now in high spirits, and when he walks on the court, he keeps yelling.
He wants to defeat the Warriors on his own in the last few minutes!
However, the idea is plump, and the reality is skinny.
warrior
Attacking, Zhou Yang and Curry played a blocking and dismantling cooperation again, and then passed to Curry in seconds and hit a three-point shot.
Subsequently, in the defensive round, Willis found that the defender in front of him was replaced by Tony Allen.
Wei Shao didn't care, anyway, no one could stop him when he rushed.
Just when Ibaka blocked Tony Allen and let Wei Shao break through, Tony Allen bypassed the cover and suddenly appeared in front of Wei Shao.
Wei Shao didn't hit the brakes and collided with Tony Allen.
Aaron's steps were clean, in place, and he fell straight backwards.
The referee's whistle blew, pointed at Wei Shao, and blew him for an offensive foul!
Ball conversion!
Wei Shao was furious and wanted to rush over to argue with the referee, but his teammates quickly pulled him back.
At this critical moment, if a technical free throw is blown, then the Thunder lose.
Warriors offense.
Zhou Yang broke through with the ball again, looking left and right.
Just when the Thunder players thought he was going to pass the ball, Zhou Yang suddenly took a European step, passed Ibaka, and scored a layup!
This basketball IQ is really not covered, and it is easy to play!
After the timeout, the Warriors scored five straight points to stretch the deficit to 14 points with just 1:47 left in the game.
The mentality of the Thunder players is a bit broken.
Although Wei Shao still does not give up, does not give up, and rushes hard, the Thunder team has gone.
The Splash Brothers did not make the same mistake again and kept the fruits of victory at the end.
In the end, the Warriors won their second home court, beating the Thunder 116-105.
In this case, the big score of the two teams will be 1-1.
The situation is slightly in the Thunder's favor, as the Thunder's home court is also the home of the famous devils in the league.
There are no other league sports teams in the city, only this one, so the residents here are all in unison and enthusiastically support the Thunder.
After the whole Warriors team came to the city, the media flocked to interview Zhou Yang and Curry.
The playoffs are in full swing, and the Splash Brothers have become the number one phrase in terms of search volume.
Fans are wondering if the Warriors can maintain their dominance in Game 3.
A reporter asked, "Mr. Zhou Yang, now that your big score has come to 1-1, are you familiar with the Thunder's style of play?"
Zhou Yang shook his head: "It's not familiar, we lost a home game, for us, the series is very difficult, we have to continue to work hard."
Seeing that Zhou Yang was very low-key, the reporter looked at Curry again.
"Stephen, you were average in the first game, so why did you adjust in the second game?"
Curry replied lightly: "I won't let myself play abnormally in two games in a row, that's not my style, and in the third game, we will definitely win!"
Another female reporter asked, "Second Brother Yang, in the regular season, the Thunder won both of their home games against the Warriors, do you think the Thunder's home court will become your nightmare?"
Zhou Yang felt that the female reporter was a little boring, but still patiently replied: "The regular season and the playoffs are two kinds of games, and I believe that the Warriors will win the away game!"
