Chapter 666 Never Underestimate the Heart of a Champion

For the Warriors' last ball, it was not Thompson's credit alone.

Green accounted for 2 points, and his pass was the start of this attack.After all, once he hesitated, the Thunder would immediately build a complete line of defense, and the Warriors would lose the opportunity.Thompson, who scored at the end, took 3 points. If he hadn't made that shot, the basketball would have flown out of the court.The remaining 5 points should be recorded in Curry's head. If he hadn't caught the ball before Westbrook and passed it out, the Warriors might be behind now.

Just after Thompson scored the ball, all the Warriors' players went straight to Curry.He took the last one like a long jump, jumped out, and then rushed into the auditorium.This is a very dangerous action!A little carelessness may result in serious injury.But on the court, players will always go back and forth in order to win.

Donovan used his last timeout and arranged the tactics.

"Ann, they definitely won't let you catch the ball. But you have to find a way to catch the ball! When you catch the ball, shoot it; if you can't catch the ball, attract the opponent's defense and provide the greatest help to your teammates .”

There is no doubt that An Luo and Paul are the Thunder's most likely players to execute the final attack.This point, whether it is Donovan or Cole, or Thunder fans or other fans who know a little about the Thunder, all know it well.After all, these two have always been the Thunder's main scorers, and they have made a lot of lore goals and quasi-lore goals.

In fact, in Donovan's tactics, An Luo and Paul are also the first choice for shots.He knew Cole could guess his arrangement, but so what!In many cases, the more familiar the tactics are, the harder it is to defend.For scorers like An Luo and Paul, no one can restrain them.Once the opponent invests more power to target them, the Thunder's chances will become better. After all, players such as Westbrook, Adams and Grant are not without the ability to score.

Adams served, because there was still plenty of time to attack, so Westbrook directly passed Curry and rushed to the backcourt to catch the ball.He darted the ball beyond the three-point line and paused for a moment.At this time, the Warriors' defense looks a little conservative.They were tight outside and loose inside, Curry, Thompson and Durant all pressed to the three-point line, Green also appeared at the top of the arc, and Rooney, who re-entered the field, guarded the basket.This makes it clear that the Thunder are not allowed to shoot three-pointers.After all, even if the Thunder scored a two-pointer, there was still overtime to win the game, but if they made a three-pointer, they would lose the game directly.

Westbrook then rushed in under the cover of Adams.Green waited until he was close to the basket before sprinting past him.Facing Rooney and Green, Westbrook didn't panic. He circled the baseline and threw the ball.

An Luo has been doing what Donovan said.He kept running, running screens, running back and forth, slowing down and accelerating, trying to find opportunities to catch and shoot.Thompson has always been inseparable. When facing a pick-and-roll, he directly double-teams with the player who is switching defenses, without giving An Luo any chance at all.But maybe he paid too much attention to An Luo. When he was about to get rid of the opponent's entanglement again under the cover of Paul George, Durant and Thompson caught up one after the other.Although the latter scuttled back as soon as the former reached it, Paul George completed the catch and release.

The basketball flew into the air, and the basket turned red!This means that Paul George's goal has become a direct factor in deciding this game.

During those two seconds, everyone's eyes were focused on the orange ball.The entire Chesapeake Energy arena was silent at this time, including on the court, all the players kept their final moves, turning their heads to look at the ball that decided everything.An Luo even prayed to the gods all over the sky in his heart: "This goal must be scored!"

"boom!"

The basketball hit the front of the rim and flew straight to the free throw line.Curry jumped up to catch the basketball. He was very excited, threw the ball directly into the sky, and then hugged his teammates.

Paul George put his head in his hands and looked very depressed.In this game, his three-point shooting percentage was actually very good, 7 of 4 shots before the last shot.But now it's 8 for 4.But if the last goal is not scored, everything in front becomes meaningless!His 29 points, Westbrook's triple-double, and An Luo's 32 points all became the backdrop for the opponent's victory.

An Luo looked at the numbers on the scoreboard and shook his head helplessly.No one can make all the shots, but it still makes him very uncomfortable to lose the game at home like this.He couldn't help thinking, if the ball was thrown by himself, what kind of result would it be?

The Warriors' celebration didn't last long.Firstly, the series is not over yet, and this is just one of the games; secondly, this is not their Oracle Stadium after all, and it is always bad to be too ostentatious on other people's turf.

After the players hugged one by one, it was all over for the night.An Luo and Curry exchanged greetings again.

"Congratulations on your victory, see you in Oakland!"

"I'm waiting for you! Good luck!"

After the game, both Cole and Donovan spoke highly of the game.Although the result of the game is not under the control of others, the whole process of the game has always been very exciting.In a very passive situation, the Warriors passed through the most difficult moments through changes, and they played the role of chasers most of the time.At the last moment, players such as Durant, Green, Curry, and Thompson tried their best to finally take the lead.Thunder came up first, and has been suppressing the opponent, whether it is offensive or defensive, they have done better.When the Warriors changed, they still maintained the lead on the field.The performance of players like Westbrook, An Luo and Paul George fully reflects the momentum of the Thunder as the defending champion.

There is a good saying, never underestimate the heart of a champion.As the championship teams in the last two seasons, the Warriors and Thunder have always led most teams in the league in terms of competitive level and players' fighting spirit.

Two days later, the sixth game between the two sides will start at Oracle Arena in Oakland.For this game, the coaches and players of both sides are determined to win.
