Chapter 611: Thrilling
This is Zhou Yang's basketball philosophy, sometimes it is better to be beaten passively, it is better to actively seek confrontation!
Although Ibaka's height and weight are much greater than Zhou Yang's, Zhou Yang's strength is the top of the front.
Even if you collide with James, you won't suffer.
Ibaka was hit by Zhou Yang and almost fell, feeling a sharp pain in his shoulders and arms.
The referee was not bad, and did not blow Zhou Yang for a foul.
After knocking into Ibaka, Zhou Yang went straight to the penalty area.
It's a bit scary.
Coupled with Zhou Yang's red eyes, the Thunder players were a little timid.
Durant came over to help defend him, and Wei Shao chased after him, but he couldn't stop Zhou Yang's footsteps.
Bang!
Zhou Yang's attack under the basket was a split, which once again ignited the atmosphere of Oracle Arena!
"Second Brother Yang, I love you!"
"him! Second Brother Yang!"
At the last moment of the tie-break, being able to dunk under the basket in one go has indeed greatly improved the morale of the team.
At 116:112, the Warriors led by four points with 47 seconds left in the game.
Theoretically, each side has a full time to attack.
The Thunder didn't call another timeout, and Brooks looked serious, and he had to hand over the game to the players.
This offense and defense will determine which team will enter the finals.
Thunder offense.
Harden held the ball in the backcourt, and Zhou Yang suddenly gave up Sefrosa and rushed to the front court to press Harden to defend.
This is a tactic of the Warriors, and at a critical moment, suddenly the whole court is pressing.
The other Warriors players also pestered the Thunder players to prevent them from receiving the ball comfortably.
Although Harden's singles skills are bullish and the league's top, Zhou Yang's defense is also first-class.
Moreover, in the final stage, Zhou Yang's defensive action was very large, and the referee would not blow it.
This makes Harden very uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the bearded man was strong enough, and he used his body to resist Zhou Yang's harassment and stumbled through the half.
With only 13 seconds left on the offensive time, Harden did not dare to delay and kept looking for Durant.
But Durant, defended by Tony Allen, struggled to catch the ball.
Finally, Ibaka went over to help block Tony Allen, and Durant had a chance to breathe and reach for the ball.
Harden immediately passed the ball.
Durant received the ball and was about to make a move, only to find that Turkoglu pounced again.
So Durant quickly moved sideways, ready to do a dry pull.
Who knows, Zhou Yang was still pestering Harden just now, but at this time, he killed him like a ghost, and wrapped Durant with Turkoglu.
It's really hard!
Zhou Yang has played for 39 minutes today, and at the last moment, he still has such abundant physical strength.
Actually, Zhou Yang is also tired, he is not an iron man, he is also a physical body, but Zhou Yang's willpower is top-notch.
When Durant saw Zhou Yang, he was a little dizzy.
But the time to attack was approaching, and he could only barely make a shot.
4 seconds ...... 3 seconds ...... 2 seconds......
Durant came to the limit and leaned back to the limit, and shot at the highest point!
This guy's talent is really amazing, and when he shoots in this way, neither Zhou Yang nor Tekoglu can interfere.
Swish!
Hit a 3-point shot!
It's amazing......
The fans at the Warriors' home stadium fell silent in an instant.
It's terrible, Durant is really the Grim Reaper!
116:115!
The Warriors lead by just one point with 23 seconds left on the clock!
Old Nelson was still hesitating to call a timeout, but Zhou Yang had already received the ball in the backcourt.
Since Zhou Yang is full of confidence, old Nelson should simply be a spectator.
He clasped his hands on his shoulders and squinted at Zhou Yang's performance.
The Thunder also took a full-court press.
This is an inevitable tactic in the final stage, pressing all over the court, and if you can't get the ball off, then you will foul the opponent early and send the opponent to the free throw line.
Sephorosa and Durant came over to wrap the pack.
Zhou Yang was not in a hurry, quickly changed direction, and then passed the ball from Durant's armpit.
Tony Allen received the ball and didn't dare to dribble.
Although his fast break and air cut are not bad, he is a defensive warrior after all, and his dribbling skills are not so good, and if he is broken, he will be in trouble.
Curry shook off Willis and came over to catch the ball, and Allen hurriedly passed it.
Now the ball must be in the hands of Zhou Yang and Curry, because their free throw shooting percentage is among the top five in the league.
There were only 12 seconds left in the clock, and Wei Shao had no choice but to foul Curry.
Curry walks to the free-throw line.
As long as Curry makes two free throws and two hits, then at least in regular time, the Warriors will not lose.
The audience quieted down, covered their mouths, and didn't dare to come out.
Zhou Yang came over and patted Curry on the back and didn't speak.
Curry takes a deep breath, first free throw, hey, hollow hit!
On the second free throw, the basketball hit the back edge of the basket, but also fell into the basket!
The audience erupted in thunderous applause.
Curry withstood the pressure.
With 12 seconds left in the game, the Thunder called another timeout.
Theoretically, the Thunder still have a chance, as long as they hit a three-point shot in this offense, then they can play overtime.
The Warriors players are also a little nervous, Durant is in too good shape today, if it really plays overtime, then the Warriors are still a little dangerous.
Zhou Yang encouraged his teammates: "Brothers, in the last ten seconds, everyone must be more active in defense, make predictions in advance, even if it is fouled, it doesn't matter, the action must be fierce!"
Under Zhou Yang's encouragement, the morale of his teammates was high, although his physical strength was consumed a lot, but in the last ten seconds, he still had to fight for his life.
In addition, Zhou Yang's advice is very important, that is, he is not afraid of fouls.
As long as you are not afraid of fouls, the pressure of the defense will be greatly improved, and the mentality of the offensive players will also have a subtle change.
The timeout ended, and players from both sides re-entered the game.
The lineup on the Thunder's side is very strange, with five shooters, and it is obvious that they are coming for the three-point shot.
Durant, Harden, Westbrook, Lamb and Reggie Jackson.
And the Warriors also changed to an all-defensive lineup, Zhou Yang, Butler, Tony Allen, Chandler and Livingston.
Although Wei Shao's overall shooting rate is not high, he seems to have the blessing of buff at critical moments, and he can always score key goals, which is also amazing.
Reggie serves the ball from the sideline.
Since Durant was taken care of, Reggie gave the ball to Willis.
Wei Shao held the ball and saw that Durant was tangling with Tony Allen, so he had to pass the ball to Harden.
It is Butler who defends Harden, Butler's defense is very tough, Harden can't get rid of it, and he is also looking for Durant.
Finally, Durant pushed back against Tony Allen and raised his right hand.
Harden immediately passed.
At the moment when Durant received the ball, a hand suddenly stretched out, snap!
Straight out of the sideline.
Zhou Yang!
Again, he anticipated Harden's pass.
With 4 seconds left on the offensive clock, the Thunder still have a chance.
Durant's face was solemn, this steal ruined his rhythm, and he had a sense of foreboding in his heart......
