"OKC~"

"OKC~"

"OKC~"

……

Westbrook's dunk once again ignited the atmosphere of the entire Chesapeake Energy Arena.The fans began to shout the city's slogan with excitement, and the sound seemed to lift the roof of the stadium.

Westbrook and An Luo, who walked out of the three-point line with a bully step, collided in the air.It could be seen that he was quite happy.Since the previous conflict with Green, Westbrook has been full of displeasure.In the past few minutes of the game, he played very unhappy and kept suppressing his emotions.This time, I finally let out a sigh of relief!

Next, the Thunder played even more strongly.Durant's shot was interfered by Paul George, who was helping to defend, and hit the edge of the basket.After the rebound was taken by Westbrook, a fast break started immediately.The basketball passed through the Thunder players a few times, and finally came to An Luo's hands.When Westbrook started, An Luo and Paul George quickly rushed to the frontcourt from left to right.After covering each other, An Luo found a space in the left corner.After he caught the ball, he didn't move his left foot, but exerted a little force on his right foot, and Thompson, who rushed up in a hurry, was shot by him.Then, he dribbles the ball quickly in place, and then throws the ball.

"Shu~"

The ball is in!
After a wave of 5:0, the Thunder opened up the score again.But Cole still looks at ease.His team is already 9 points behind!But he didn't seem to feel anything.But this is also normal. The Warriors this season rarely have a big advantage in the first half.Falling behind at halftime has become a habit for them!
But then, Curry's three-pointer helped the Warriors stabilize the situation.Or take a step forward after the pick-and-roll.Curry's shot speed is really fast!Robertson's defense is already in place, but he still can't keep up.

As the basketball fell into the net bag, Curry was also very happy!He finally made the first three-pointer of the game, and couldn't help shaking his shoulders for a while!Coincidentally, he happened to meet An Luo who was running over.Coincidentally, this scene was caught by the live director again!Immediately, there was a tidy booing in the arena.

An Luo didn't feel anything.After he makes a three-pointer, he often makes some moves.But the people watching the fun don't think so!Everyone likes to see the stars on both sides soaring.Whether it's a dunk or a three-pointer, as long as they match up, the game will become exciting.What's more, An Luo and Curry are definitely the two top players in the league's three-point field.There are countless people who want to see these two players soar three-pointers!

However, in this section, everyone will not be able to see the wonderful performances of the two of them!In the next few minutes, the coaches of both sides began to rotate their substitutes.Players such as An Luo, Westbrook, Curry, and Durant were the first to rest.This is a long game, and Cole and Donovan are not the head coaches like D'Antoni.

With Paul George missing a three-pointer at the buzzer, the first quarter ended.Under the excellent performance of Paul George and Brewer, the Thunder withstood the offense of the Warriors' bench and stabilized their lead.In the end, they entered the second round with a 34:28 lead of 6 points.

Westbrook, Durant and An Luo were the three players who performed best in the first quarter.The reason why the Warriors fell behind was because of the Thunder's defense.Especially the perimeter defense, the effect is very significant.Curry and Thompson couldn't play the same performance in the last two games of the last round, and Durant was also struggling alone.In comparison, the Warriors' defense did not reach what they imagined before the game.Especially for An Luo's restrictions, they haven't done as well as the Pelicans.So much so that An Luo scored 7 three-pointers in more than 3 minutes of the first quarter.

"Come on, guys!"

Before the start of the second quarter, Westbrook did not forget to cheer for his teammates.As the head star of this arena, this is what he needs to do well.He is in very good form today, whether it is scoring or passing, and even defending is remarkable.In fact, on this court, every time he meets the Warriors, he does a good job.

In this section, Westbrook, An Luo and Robertson took the lead with two Kanter and Grant.Robertson moved back to a more wide three.Both Paul George and Adams need a break.They played too long in the first quarter!

For the Warriors, Cole temporarily left Curry, Thompson and Green on the bench.Only let Durant and Iguodala take the rotation to deal with the Thunder.Such a lineup is enough for Splash Brothers to rest!

However, the Warriors still had a problem in this section!But the problem is not in the first half.

At the beginning, the Warriors launched an offense around Durant.The ball is basically concentrated on him.With his physical condition and technical ability, it is a misplacement to hit anyone.As long as he jumps up and throws the ball, basically no one can interfere with him!If you have to guard against it, you have to stick to him all the time, resist his lower body, constantly interfere with small movements, and at the same time irritate him with words.As long as his rhythm is interrupted, it will have an effect.Durant's mentality is his biggest weakness!

But Thunder has no such person!Whether it is Robertson, Paul George or An Luo, they are not the kind of mad dog defensive players.

In the first 5 minutes of the second quarter, the point difference on the field has been maintained at about 5 points.Thunder also saw the opponent's plan.Anyway, they couldn't let it go, they fortunately put the main defensive focus on other Warriors players, and let Durant play singles.Then put the main energy on the offensive end.Under such a strategy, a rare and harmonious situation appeared on the field!
But this situation has been broken since Curry, Thompson and Green came on the court!Curry, who was eager to help the team recover the score, took up a lot of possessions.But his efficiency has not changed much because of the three-pointer in the first quarter.His touch is still bad!
Here lies the problem!Durant feels good, but a good part of the ball has been divided.The Warriors' scoring efficiency dropped a lot at once.On the other hand, Thunderclap was not affected in any way.As soon as Paul George and Adams, who got enough rest, came up, the Thunder's lineup instantly evolved to the strongest state.

After a wave of 12:5, the Thunder widened the point difference to as much as 15 points!Cole had to call a timeout.He naturally understood what was wrong with his team.But it's really nerve-wracking to get it right.
