Super Heavy Artillery

Vol 3 Chapter 295: Take the lead

The choice of offensive power between Curry and Durant has always been a problem for the Warriors. I have to say that Durant's joining has indeed greatly improved the Warriors' combat effectiveness. Durant has brought more choices to the Warriors, especially in the tough battle, Durant such a super scorer is a huge guarantee for their victory. But this does not mean that Durant and the original Warriors are perfectly integrated. Of course, most of the time, the two are also very compatible in Cole's system. But the current situation is that Curry feels bad, Durant feels good, and both need the ball. As an old man of the Warriors, Green naturally prefers to give the ball to Curry. Therefore, Durant was immediately isolated from the Warriors' offensive system.

After coming back from the timeout, Durant's ball power increased. Anlow didn't know how Cole solved the problem, but since Durant took over the Warriors' offense, the situation was stabilized. Of course, it just stabilized. The huge points difference continued until the end of the first half.

During the intermission, the players returned to the locker room. Although the score gap is huge, the atmosphere in the locker rooms of the two teams is similar.

"Guys, it's time to really test us!" First of all, it was Donovan, with no lightness on his face. He returned to the locker room without a word, and then said to his players: "This season, they have won most of their games in the second half. This includes the last two games of the previous series! We can't let our guard down. Not at all!"

After speaking, he patted his tactical board and began to analyze the situation in the first half. It can be said that the Thunder performed well enough in the first half. Whether it is offense or defense, there is nothing to fault. But Donovan believes that there are still some areas that can be better. For example, defense, the blockade of Curry and Thompson; and the role of Westbrook and Adams' pick-and-roll coordination on the offensive end.

The same thing is going on in the visiting locker room. Cole was more calm than Donovan. He has experienced too much of this situation! From the beginning of playing, in the 20 or 30 years, it has already been familiar.

"Next, we have to defend well. In fact, we only need to get rid of their second position. Just stop him from shooting! We do this..."

On the sidelines of the game, basketball commentators from the domestic live broadcast platform are analyzing and guessing the game.

"In the third quarter, the key is to defend against Splash! Durant can indeed score, but his lethality Thunder can bear. Just like in the second quarter, the Thunder has always controlled the advantage of the scene. But once the splash is opened Now, that’s terrible.” The speaker was named Zhang, a well-known senior in the domestic basketball industry. Whether it is a player's age or after retirement, they are well-known.

"An Luo's performance is also very important! In the regular season, splashes were played in two games. But An Luo was able to withstand it alone! So I think An Luo's play has more impact on the game than the Splash brothers' play. Bigger." The man surnamed Duan does not seem to agree with Senior Zhang. He first ran to throw out his own opinions, and then his voice changed, saying: "I guess the Warriors coach Cole will target Anlow in the second half! He will not tolerate such an efficient scorer on the court. Unless he A player of the Warriors."

"That's true! An Luo is still a big threat to the Warriors on the court. And he is not easy to defend! He is always on the move, and the ability to find opportunities is very strong. The Warriors are not like Rondo and Holiday. Field combination."

"I still want to see Curry and An Luo both open! And I guess many people really want to see these two top three-pointers shoot three-pointers against each other."

The second half started soon.

The Thunder took the lead and Westbrook advanced with the ball. First, there was an open pick-and-roll with Adams, and then assisted Paul George with a jumper on the right elbow. His breakthrough was already very sharp, not to mention that the opponent pulled the line of defense out.

But the Warriors are not bad. After Adams dunked, Durant jumped to the basket and made a one-handed dunk. Regardless of other people's tall horses, you can be quite proficient in playing cross-step changes to breakthroughs. After shaking off Robertson, a European step bypassed Adams and then dunked.

An Luo is indeed very uncomfortable to be restricted in this section. Thompson stayed close to him, and there was another Green staring at him. As soon as An Luo caught the ball, he would come right away.

But the Thunder adjusted quickly. After Anlow attracted Green from his side, Robertson immediately opened the screen to Paul George, who cut to the basket and scored easily.

Fans most wanted to see Curry and Anluo's three-pointer play did not take place~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Curry's hand feeling has not recovered, although his efficiency in scoring by jumping to the basket is not low , But Durant did better for things like that.

In fact, both teams are relying on a strong outside attack to tie the score, overtake or pull apart. Now that they are not working, they have all launched a traditional inside attack. At this point, the Thunder defeated the Warriors. Durant Green Iguodala is significantly lower than Paul Georgia Downs Westbrook. So the Warriors' proud third quarter failed at the Chesapeake Energy Arena!

Until the end of the third quarter, the Warriors not only did not recover the score, but was pulled by the Thunder to 20 points! Although Cole did not give up, they launched a counterattack again and again in the fourth quarter, but how can the Thunder allow them to succeed.

When Curry finally hit two three-pointers in the second half of the fourth quarter, it was too late. And under such circumstances, Westbrook also immediately made a three-pointer. An Luo also hit another three-pointer with 4 minutes left in the game. He used the same action as Curry, and immediately shot after the pick and roll. After the goal, he shook his shoulder specifically at Curry! Now he is not afraid of slaps, after all, the Thunder's 20-point lead has not been reduced. This victory is only a matter of time.

In the next few minutes, the coaches of both sides did not rotate players again, and the main players on the field played until the end of the game. In the end, the Thunder defeated the poor Warriors 106:90 in their arena. Won the first victory in the Western Conference Finals.

After the game, Westbrook yelled with excitement. His biggest wish last year was to reach the Western Conference Finals and defeat the Warriors. But at that time the team was too weak, and he really had nothing to do! But this year, it's different!
