Throughout the third quarter, An Luo only rested for 2 minutes.Grant and Westbrook are in the same situation as him, except that Paul George rested for 2 minutes more.Under such circumstances, the Thunder fell behind the Warriors by 2 points at the end of this quarter.
The situation is already very unfavorable for the Thunder.It would be fine if they were in a stalemate, but the Thunder kept suppressing the opponent in the first two quarters.It took the opponent one quarter to wipe out their advantage and even overtake the score.This has no small impact on the morale of the team.Fortunately, players like Donovan and An Luo have experienced many storms.It didn't bother me because of it.
"Guys, the game has just begun. For OKC, for the championship, use our toughest defense and sharpest offense to beat them! We want to win in Oklahoma, Chesapeake Energy Arena Western champions."
Westbrook made a simple mobilization before the start of the fourth quarter.As the boss of the team, he has to make a gesture.Of course, Westbrook has always done very little of this.In the Thunder, whether it was the three young men, the double young men, or the current Big Three era, the most fighting person will always be Westbrook.
However, the Warriors playing at home are now in full swing.Playing at home, they almost completely dominated the game in the third quarter.At this moment, whether it is Cole or Curry, these players can't wait to step on the field immediately and defeat the Thunder in one wave.
The last quarter of the game was very anxious.
After getting enough rest, Curry and others launched a fierce attack as soon as they came up.It was Curry who made the first contribution.He took the ball to the left three-point line, and rushed to the inside with the ball through the screen.His offensive ability with the ball is no worse than his three-pointer ability.Although the style of play is not as explosive as Westbrook, the offensive efficiency is not low.He tossed and moved in the paint, very dexterous.A few changes of direction and fake moves swayed Grant, who had switched defenses.Then he raised his right hand and made a small throw to score the ball.
After seeing Curry score easily, Durant was not far behind.On the next offensive possession, he stood on the left three-point line and stuck Paul George, reaching for the ball.Seeing this, Curry passed the ball without saying a word.The latter caught the ball and directly played Paul George with his back.Both of them are top players in this position, and direct dialogue is also a big attraction of this series.
Although Durant is tall and thin, his core strength is not small.He headed towards Paul George with all his strength, and approached the basket step by step.The other players all did not go up to help, but instead came to open up space and let them play.
Coming to the basket, Durant showed off his steps.With his left foot as the axis, he turned left and right, and after using fake moves one after another to shake Paul George out of the best defensive position, he took off for a layup.Durant enjoys scoring like this, especially for Paul George.As the Thunder's two former and third players, he naturally wants to defeat the opponent.Whether it's the result of the game or the direct matchup, Durant wants to win.Although he has long since left, Durant has mixed feelings about Thunder fans and the city of Oklahoma, and he still cares about what they think of him.
It was a beautiful 1v1, but in the end it was robbed by another player.
At the moment Durant shot, Noel appeared behind him, and then slapped the ball down.But the Warriors still have the ball.Noel shot straight down, and the basketball fell directly into Durant's arms.Although he was a little surprised, but out of instinct, he immediately took off again, wanting to complete the second attack.After all, the basket is empty.Don't miss this opportunity!
There is nothing wrong with Durant's choice.There really isn't any Thunder player at the basket who can interfere with his offense.However, this does not mean that the Thunder has no defensive power.When Durant jumped for a layup again, Noel followed him.He almost copied the action just now, and once again blocked Durant's layup.
Durant was a little confused at this time!It's not a strange thing to be blocked for a layup. In this league, who hasn't been blocked!But being hated twice in a row is a bit embarrassing!In a panic, Durant collided with Rooney, picked the rebound out of bounds, and gave the ball to the Thunder.
"Hey! What are you doing?" Green widened his eyes and yelled at Durant.However, the latter seemed to be used to Green's behavior, shook his head, and ran to the other side of the court, ready to defend.
Thunder's defense is very tenacious.Noel continued to block Durant's layups at the basket, which is a true portrayal of the Thunder's desperate defense.Not only that, An Luo and Paul George also caused great trouble for the Warriors on the offensive end.So much so that when Curry and Durant almost went berserk, the two sides kept entangled until the last moment.
With 25 seconds left in the game, Durant made a three-pointer to make it 100:102.
The Warriors lead by 2 points!
The Thunder then played a perfect offense.Westbrook and Paul George played a pick-and-roll on the left side, drawing the Warriors' attention.As a result, the former passed the ball to An Luo who ran out of the open under the double cover of Grant and Noel.The latter also lived up to Westbrook's expectations, hitting the ball directly from the right corner.
At 103:102, the Thunder took a key lead 4 seconds before the end of the game.
Cole took advantage of the short pause to make a quick arrangement.With his current pressure, a fall can collapse mountains.
"Di..."
The hurried whistle sounded in the Oracle Arena, and a round that decided the outcome of the game and even the entire series began.
Green served from the sideline and Iguodala replaced Rooney.After the whistle sounded, the Warriors players immediately ran.Donovan deployed a man-to-man tactic.The Warriors have too many endpoints to focus on.
At this time, the Warriors played a very beautiful tactic.Curry used Durant's screen to get rid of Westbrook's defense, then passed through the middle of the goal-shaped double screen formation formed by Thompson and Iguodala at the free throw line, and came to the top of the arc to meet the right position. Seeing the basketball sent by Green, he took another step to the right and then pulled it up and threw the ball.
The basketball flew across the sky, and everyone's hearts were in their throats.
"Shh!"
With the red light on the edge of the backboard, the basketball plunged into the net bag.
