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

Donovan didn't show any dissatisfaction.In fact, such a score is acceptable to him.Because, the Warriors can no longer lose now!In every next game, they must go all out.In this case, the combat effectiveness of the players in the game must be the strongest.

Keeping the point 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 home, but the actual situation is very different from what they expected.They were being beaten by each other all the time.They felt like they played poorly!
Even Westbrook, who had a red eye in the first half, felt this way.He has worked very hard, but still can't lead the team to turn the situation around.

"Guys, we performed very well!" Seeing this situation, Donovan felt that he had 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 downcast! We have done what we should do."

Then, Donovan began to analyze the first half of the game for the players.He pointed out which ones were good and which ones were not good enough, and then told the players what to do.He hopes that through this method, everyone can understand how to deal with the same thing in the next game.

"So, in the next game, we must insist on starting from defense! They have a good touch in this game. We can only cause interference through a stronger defense. On the offensive end, we must run! At least we must be better than the opponent Run fast, cover each other, try to pull the opponent's defense line apart, and create opportunities for Russell and Paul to hit the basket. Ann, it's time for you to stand up! You must create a bigger threat for each other near the three-point line pressure……"

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

"Everyone must understand that in this game, and in every game after that, we must not relax in the slightest. We should stay focused and handle every detail well. Show what we are best at. Do a good job What you should do, don't follow the other party!"

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.In particular, the explosion of the two old brothers Durant and Westbrook at the same time made everyone addicted to their eyes.In addition, the few three-pointers made by An Luo and Curry also made everyone's eyes shine.

In fact, throughout the first half of the game, the performance of these two people was very good.But there is no sense of existence.It is like a super weapon deployed in the system, it will not be deployed easily, but once it is deployed, it will be a very fatal blow!Especially An Luo's buzzer-beater against Thompson in the second quarter really made everyone applaud.

In that attack, An Luo actually had plenty of time when he received the ball.But Green, who switched defenses, put him under tremendous pressure.Fortunately, An Luo's ability to control the ball is very good. After turning left and right, he got rid of the opponent's entanglement.Although Thompson made up the defense in time in the end, he still threw the ball before the end of the shot clock.

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 performed explosively in the first half.

The intermission time is soon over.Players from both sides returned to the field once again, preparing for the next battle.

Donovan was interviewed by reporters on the field before the game.He gave a very positive evaluation of the performance of both players in the first half: "Everyone is very focused, both 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 attacking.Westbrook picked up the tempo as soon as he came up.After receiving the ball, he quickly advanced to the frontcourt, and then played a pick-and-roll lob with Adams at the three-point line.After the latter blocked Curry for Westbrook, he cut to the basket.At this time, both Pachulia and Curry rushed towards Westbrook, and the basket was empty.Adams and Westbrook seized the opportunity, the latter bursting to the basket and tossing the ball up, Adams soared into the air and pressed the ball into the basket.

A very simple combination, but the effect is surprisingly good.Westbrook's performance in the first half still affected the Warriors' defensive strategy to a certain extent, and Cole didn't want to see him score so easily again.

Looking back, Curry took the ball across the center line and handed it directly to Green.In this game, An Luo was still in charge of marking him.Moreover, when he holds the ball outside the three-point line, it is easy to be double-teamed by Westbrook.In this case, his help to the Warriors off the ball is much greater than when he has the ball.

The Warriors still play what they are most familiar with.Except for Green, several other players were constantly running and covering. Durant stood to the right of the free throw line. After Curry and Thompson covered each other, they immediately separated and moved towards both sides of the court.In the process, Thompson used Durant's screen to get rid of Robertson's defense and went straight to the right corner.Curry, on the other hand, ran towards Green, who had moved beyond the left three-point line.After taking advantage of the opponent's screen, he catches the ball and makes a 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.Grab a time difference and make a three-pointer.

Without a chance, Curry immediately threw the ball to Durant at the free throw line.The latter made a fake pass and gave the ball to Thompson who crossed from the right corner to the top of the arc.At this time, the latter just used Green's cover to get rid of the defense.After catching the ball, Thompson didn't hesitate to pull it up and throw the ball.

It's a pity that the three-point shot under the nearly perfect running position this time 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 warrior's touch could not be so good all the time, he did not dare to pin his hopes on the opponent.However, this attack allowed him to see the dawn of Thunder's reversal of the situation.
