99:100, the visiting team is in front and the home team is behind.
After a chaotic battle, the Thunder finally overtook the score.Although it was only 1 point, it was enough for the Thunder to have a huge advantage at this critical moment.
At this time, the Warriors became nervous!The Thunder left them 22 seconds, which seemed sufficient, but it was definitely not easy.What they have to face must be the Thunder's toughest defense.
Cole called a timeout immediately after An Luo made the ball.At this time, all the players on the field were very impatient, and they didn't pay attention to the opportunity to make mistakes.Therefore, he must intervene.Call a timeout, let everyone calm down, and then make a good arrangement for this key attack.Even if Curry is not on the court, the Warriors do not lack players who can end the offense.What Cole has to do is to let these players understand what else they have to do and how to do it.
"Listen, we now have plenty of time to complete the next offense. Kevin, Klay, you have to be prepared, once the basketball comes to you, you have to end the offense! Hit in, We only need 2 points to win the game. Find a way to get close to the basket and kill the game! Others will cover you..."
With that said, Cole took out his tactical board and began to draw tactics.Durant, Thompson and other players were all around him, listening carefully.Although this is the first game of the series, it is crucial for both parties.The Warriors won, both in terms of situation and momentum, it is a very big lead.After all, they are playing away games, so they are already at a disadvantage.
"Draymond and Kevin, you are responsible for protecting the rebound. Once the offense fails, you must grab the rebound. After grabbing the ball, you must complete the second offense as soon as possible. If there is no chance at the basket, quickly find it. Opportunity to pass the ball to Klay and Kevin..."
The Warriors are intensively planning their final attack, and the Thunder are also surrounded by Donovan, listening to him deploying this time's defense.
"Guys, we are only leading by one point now. The situation is not optimistic! They only need a two-pointer to take the game away. We must not be careless and must not make any mistakes."
Donovan first emphasized the situation of course.He is actually not particularly worried about the players' abilities. After all, players like Westbrook, Paul George, An Luo, Grant and Noelle are all very good defensively.What worries him is the mentality of the players.At this time, any carelessness and negligence will ruin everyone's efforts for the entire game.Therefore, he first emphasized to the players.Then, he began to analyze the possible situation.
"There is no doubt that they will choose to play a two-pointer. After all, the success rate of breaking through to the basket to end the offense is much higher. Therefore, our defense line should shrink inward. As long as they rush in, give them the best chance. Tough defense. At this time, a stronger physical confrontation will bring great pressure to the opponent. Paul, Kevin will be handed over to you. Jeremy will help you at any time. Ann, you will be responsible for keeping Clay in check. Stay. Once the inside space is not good, he is likely to be the opponent's first choice to end the offense. Russell..."
"Di..."
Pause time, fleeting.When the whistle was blown by the referee again, the most critical offensive and defensive round of the game began!
Wayne Rooney is now serving a throw-in from the sidelines.The other Warriors players started running in an instant, and the Thunder players followed closely behind.
Noelle is now Rooney's years ago, waving his hands openly.Rooney tried a few times but failed to let the ball go.Seeing that the serve was about to be violated, Cook suddenly rushed to the other side of the center line with Durant's "cover".Rooney threw the ball hard and avoided a mistake.
Cook brought the ball over and controlled the time outside the left three-point line.They want to take the game away directly, not only to complete this attack, but also not to leave enough time for the Thunder to counterattack.
With 10 seconds left, everyone in the Warriors moved.Green came to the top of the arc, and he set a screen for Cook.The latter took advantage of the trend and rushed inside, heading straight for the basket.However, Noelle and Grant retreated quickly, and he didn't dare to bite the bullet and make a move.After a few dribbles in, Cook passed the ball to Green.The latter caught the ball without stopping and threw it directly to Thompson who cut to the left of the free throw line.
At this time, Thompson had just caught the screen and got rid of An Luo's defense.Moreover, Westbrook, who has switched defenses in the past, has not yet reached his best defensive position.After Thompson received the ball, there was no delay for half a second, and he directly pulled up and threw the ball.In fact, there are nearly 6 seconds left at this time.But Thompson didn't want to miss this opportunity!
It's a pity that Thompson has the heart to be a hero, but he doesn't have the life to be a hero!Maybe he was too impatient, or Westbrook rushed over and caused effective interference to him.Thompson's shot hit the front of the rim and bounced with a bang toward the free throw line.
However, the Warriors grabbed the rebound.
Green rushed in from the top of the arc the moment Thompson shot.He jumped high and pocketed the ball.
At this time, Durant's position in the right elbow area is very good.He stuck Paul George behind him, Noelle and Grant rushed to the free throw line as they scrambled for the rebound, and the basket was empty.
"Give me the ball! Give me the ball!"
Durant reached out and yelled.He has that confidence that as long as he catches the ball, he can kill the game.
But Green didn't pass the ball to him.After controlling the ball, Green didn't even think about it, and passed the ball directly to Thompson outside the three-point line.After Thompson received the ball, there was not enough time for him to pass the ball again.He could only bite the bullet and forcefully attack An Luo.
After the ball is released, the clock of the game is up.At that moment, all eyes were on the orange ball.
"boom!"
There was no accident in this ball.An Luo's defense was good enough, he almost blocked the ball directly.
The final score was fixed at 100:99.The Thunder narrowly beat the Warriors by 1 point and took the lead in the Western Conference Finals.
The fans at the scene broke out in huge cheers, and the Chesapeake Energy Arena fell into a carnival after that.Although this is just a victory, it is very difficult to win.But for Thunder fans, this means that the Thunder is getting closer to the championship step by step.
