Super Heavy Artillery

Thunder returned to the locker room with an 8-point disadvantage.

Donovan showed no dissatisfaction. In fact, he can accept such a score. Because the Warriors can no longer lose now! They must go all out for every next game. In this case, the players must have the strongest fighting power in the game.

Keeping the points difference within 10 points is Donovan's basic requirement for the first half of the game. It seems that everyone is doing pretty well. But the players don't think so. They want to win at their home court, but the actual situation is very different from what they expected. They have been pressed and beaten by each other. They feel that they are playing poorly!

Even Westbrook, who killed the red eye in the first half, felt that way. He has worked very hard, but still can't lead the team to reverse the situation.

"Guys, we did a great job!" Seeing this situation, Donovan felt he needed to enlighten these guys, otherwise, the second half would be bad. After returning to the locker room, he patted the tactical board in his hand and said: "So you don't have to be downhearted! We have done what we should do."

Then, Donovan began to analyze the first half of the game for the players. He pointed out what was good and what was not good enough, and then he told the players what to do. He hopes that in this way, everyone can understand how to deal with the same thing in subsequent games.

"So, for the next game, we must insist on starting from defense! They feel good in this game. We can only cause interference through stronger defense. Offensively, we have to run! At least better than the opponent. Run fast, cover each other, try to open the opponent's defense line, to create opportunities for Russell and Paul to hit the basket. Ann, you should stand up! You must create greater for each other near the three-point line pressure……"

At the same time, in the visiting team's locker room, Kerr is doing the same thing as Donovan. And judging from his expression, he didn't relax at all because of the lead.

"Everyone needs to understand that we can't relax the slightest in this game, and even in every subsequent game. We should stay focused and deal with every detail. Show what we are best at. Do a good job. What you should do, don't run with the other person!"

In addition to the players and coaches of both sides, many people are also discussing this game. In general, the performance of the two teams in the first half was satisfactory to everyone. Especially the two old brothers Durant and Westbrook broke out at the same time, which made everyone addicted to their eyes. In addition, Anluo and Curry's three-pointers also made everyone shine.

In fact, during the entire first half of the game, the two men performed very well. But there is no sense of existence. It is like a super weapon deployed in the system, it will not be easily deployed, but once it is deployed, it will be a very fatal blow! Especially Anluo's buzzer against Thompson in the second quarter really made everyone clap their hands.

In that offense, An Luo actually had ample time when he received the ball. But Green, who came over from the defense, brought him tremendous pressure. Fortunately, Anluo's ability to control the ball is very good, turning left and right, getting rid of the opponent's entanglement. Although Thompson made up the defense in time in the end, he still threw the ball before the offensive time was over.

Therefore, everyone is very interested in the next performance of the two. Of course, the performance of other players is also of concern to everyone. Especially Westbrook and Durant who exploded in the first half.

The intermission was quickly over. The players from both sides returned to the field once again to prepare for the next battle.

Donovan was interviewed by reporters on the spot before the game started. He gave a very positive evaluation of the performance of both players in the first half: "Everyone is very focused, offensive and defensive are very good. Our shooting percentage is very good, but the opponent is better..."

In the third quarter, the Thunder took the lead in launching an offense. Westbrook picked up the pace as soon as he came up. After receiving the ball, he quickly advanced to the frontcourt, and then at the three-point line with Adams came a pick-and-roll empty match. The latter blocked Curry for Westbrook and cut to the basket. At this time Pachulia and Curry both rushed towards Westbrook, and there was no one in the basket. Adams and Westbrook seized this opportunity. The latter rushed to the basket and threw the ball up. Adams rose into the air and pushed the ball into the basket.

A very simple cooperation, but the effect is surprisingly good. Westbrook's performance in the first half still affected the Warriors' defensive strategy to a certain extent~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Cole didn't want to see him score easily.

Looking back, Curry took the ball over the center line and handed it directly to Green. In this game, An Luo is still responsible for marking him. Moreover, when he is holding the ball outside the three-point line, it is easy to be doubled by Westbrook. In this case, he will help the Warriors more without the ball than with the ball.

The Warriors still played the one they are most familiar with. Except for Green, several other players were constantly running and covering. Durant moved to the right side of the free throw line. After Curry and Thompson screened each other, they immediately separated and moved towards the sides of the court. In the process, Thompson got rid of Robertson's defense by Durant's screen and went straight to the right bottom corner. And Curry ran towards Green, who had moved beyond the left three-point line. After the opponent's screen, the ball is received and shot.

An Luo squeezed directly between Curry and Green. He didn't want to go around. Curry's plan was to let him go around. Catch a time difference and take a three-pointer.

Without a chance, Curry threw the ball to Durant on the free throw line. The latter faked a real pass and handed the ball to Thompson, who crossed from the right corner to the top of the arc. At this time, the latter just got rid of the defense with Green's screen. After receiving the ball, Thompson didn't hesitate to pull it up and throw it out.

It's a pity that the three-pointer under this nearly perfect run did not make it. The rebound was grabbed by Westbrook, and then immediately started a counterattack.

Donovan clapped his hands on the sidelines. Although he thought in his heart that the Warriors couldn't always feel that good, he didn't dare to pin his hopes on the opponent. But this time the attack, let him see the dawn of the Thunder to reverse the situation.
