Chapter 600: G3 is Critical
The Thunder's home court is notoriously devilish home court, and around the hotel where the Warriors players are staying, there are fans singing loudly and deliberately making loud noises.
However, the Warriors have played for several years and have experience, and they all wear earplugs to give themselves a good rest.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the third game of the Western Conference finals between the Thunder and the Warriors officially began.
The Thunder's starting lineup is Durant, Westbrook, Seraka, Sefrosa and Perkins.
The Warriors' starting five are Zhou Yang, Curry, Turkoglou, Chandler and Tony Allen.
Both sides are old rivals, and there are basically no secrets between them.
Jumping the ball in the middle circle, Chandler grabbed the first wave of possession.
Curry carries the ball and advances to the frontcourt.
In the face of Wei Shao's defense, Chandler suddenly came up to cover.
Generally speaking, it is Tekoglu to cover, or Zhou Yang to cover, and there are many tactics that change.
But Chandler suddenly came up to cover, and the Thunder players were a little blindsided.
Perkins came over for a delay and immediately understood.
Curry is going to hit him!
Perkins looked chubby, not moving slowly on his feet, and Curry had barely beaten him before.
But today, as soon as Curry came up, he hit him by name, which made Perkins nervous.
In order to prevent others from helping to defend, Zhou Yang immediately ran without the ball and pulled the other defenders away.
Curry dribbled under Perkins and shook Perkins' center of gravity back and forth.
Then Curry suddenly collected the ball, took a big step back, and shot a three-point shot more than 1 meter away from the three-point line!
The Warriors' first offense was very important for the whole game.
In the first game, it was because the Splash Brothers were not in good shape that they lost the game.
Chandler and Ibaka stuck each other and were ready to grab the rebound, and the result was ......
Swish!
Curry hit a three-point shot on his first shot!
The noisy and noisy home of the devil was instantly quiet.
Zhou Yang is also secretly cheering for Curry, if the first goal can be scored, it is too important for the away game.
As soon as he saw the ball scored, Zhou Yang rushed to Curry excitedly and bumped his chest with him to celebrate!
3:0! The Warriors are off to a good start.
Thunder offense.
Not surprisingly, Willis passed the ball to Durant, who took the first shot.
Durant simplified the offense and pulled out his shot from beyond the three-point line again!
The idea is good, and Durant is in a hurry to give a response.
It's a pity that back on his home court, Durant was under too much pressure and missed the shot.
Boom!
Bounced off the basket, Chandler protected the rebound and threw it directly to Tony Allen.
Aaron launches a fast attack.
The Thunder studied the Warriors' tactics very thoroughly and knew the strength of the Warriors' counterattacks, so they retreated quickly.
In a master duel, details determine success or failure.
Tony Allen saw that the fast attack was hopeless, so he had to slow down and fall into a positional battle.
After half time, Zhou Yang received Allen's pass and observed the movement of his teammates.
Just as Zhou Yang was looking around, there was a sudden acceleration, and Sephorosa was thrown out of a position.
Zhou Yang hadn't used this trick for a long time, and Sephorosa didn't react at once.
Near the paint area, before Ibaka made up the defense, Zhou Yang made a pull-up jump shot.
The most simple and pragmatic way of attacking, two points in hand!
Swish!
Who would have thought that back on the Thunder's home court, the Warriors would take the lead.
Head coach Brooks was pacing back and forth on the sidelines, he was really anxious, obviously very well prepared, how could he be suppressed when he started fighting?
As soon as the Splash Brothers came up, they each scored a goal and showed excellent competitive form, which is not a good sign for the Thunder.
5:0!
Thunder offense.
Wei Shao was angry, he didn't pass the ball to Durant this time, but used the cover to kill the restricted area.
Just as Chandler was about to make up for the defense, Wei Shao made another zombie jumper and scored two points.
This is Dawei Shao, and when it comes to the high-end game, it can't hide his brilliance.
5:2!
Wei Shao's goal won a full house of applause, and the Thunder fans chanted Wei Shao's name, and they found that Wei Shao can always be believed.
Durant also came over and high-fived Wei Shao to encourage him.
Warriors offense.
Curry advanced to the front court with the ball, and Zhou Yang ran towards Curry.
This tactic had been used before, so the Thunder's defenders immediately began to switch defenses and not give the two open a chance to shoot.
But Zhou Yang ran to Curry and did not stop, but ran around Curry to Turkoglu.
Is this a god and a demon?
The Thunder players are a bit of a fussier.
Zhou Yang suddenly blocked Ibaka, and then Turkoglu ran to the sideline.
Curry immediately passed the ball over.
It turned out that Zhou Yang was going to help his teammates cover without the ball!
This is the basketball of the Warriors, where everyone can make sacrifices and contribute, even Zhou Yang, the soul of the team.
Turkoglu received Curry's ball and calmly shot, huh!
Three points hit again.
The exquisite cooperation allowed the Warriors to widen the score difference again.
For the next few rounds, the Warriors kept the pace of the game.
The first quarter played more than 5 minutes, and the score came to 14-8, and the Warriors led by 6 points.
Enter the official timeout.
Thunder fans were not happy with the result, and they all held their heads in their hands and looked at the scoreboard in surprise, their faces full of incredulity.
Zhou Yang and the Warriors players were very excited, everyone high-fived each other, shouted encouragement, and morale was extremely high.
In TN-T's live room, Barkley and Smith are commentating on the game, and today's guests are Reggie Miller and O'Neal.
When it came to the West Finals, there were more guests.
"Big Shark, it seems that the Thunder team is not in the right state today?"
O'Neal likes Curry, but he always hoped that the Thunder would win a championship before the game.
That's why Barkley asked him that.
O'Neal's face was not very good-looking, and he said helplessly: "The Thunder may have just returned to the home court, there is a lot of pressure, I think the second quarter will be better."
Reggie Miller smiled and shook his head: "I don't think so, the Splash Brothers are in too good shape today, it's completely different from the feeling of G1, unless the two suddenly lose power in the second half, otherwise the Warriors will definitely not lose."
Smith knew that these people would definitely quarrel again, and he said: "Durant didn't feel good today, which is not a good thing for the Thunder, but he is the most stable, and I think Durant will definitely be able to stand up in the second half."
O'Neal agreed very much, and nodded again and again: "The hero sees the same thing, I think the Thunder will definitely overtake in the second half, the pressure is too great!"
Barkley is a die-hard fan of Zhou Yang, and he certainly has to fight for it.
"Forget it, in my opinion, Zhou Yang is going to take away the game in the second quarter, don't believe it and we'll see."
The other three stopped talking, because everyone knew that the second half of the second quarter of the Warriors was the time period when Zhou Yang was mad, and it was not easy for anyone to come!
