Chapter 492 Hand feeling is the biggest turning point of the game

Westbrook is like a blue lightning, flashing across the center line in an instant and coming out of the three-point line.After a slight pause, he sped up again, passed Green with a forward change, then took two steps, took off directly, and dunked the ball into the basket.

Westbrook, who dunked, was very excited.He walks past Green and Durant with his own distinctive stride.Moreover, the hands kept flapping upwards, bringing the atmosphere of the Chesapeake Energy Arena.

As soon as the third quarter came up, the Thunder used two very morale-boosting dunks to close the score.It can be seen that for this game, they also have the belief that they must win.

Looking back, Curry continued to advance with the ball.This time, he didn't give the ball to Green.Instead, he made a fake pick-and-roll breakthrough with the opponent outside the three-point line.Green still lifted from the free throw line to the top of the arc and set up a pick and roll for Curry.The latter took the ball straight to the right, trying to use the cover of the opponent to pass through, hit the basket and make a layup.The Thunder's defense immediately shrank a little.Of course, they did not give up on Thompson and Durant.

However, Curry did not break in.When he rushed to the right of Green, he made an emergency stop, pulled the ball from behind to the left, and then turned around on the spot, trying to take a big step to the left to get rid of An Luo's defense again.

I have to say that Green's screens and Curry's ball changes are very good.The two cooperated tacitly and resolved An Luo's defense quite cleanly.

After Curry pulled to the left, he pushed the ball directly.This is his favorite way of shooting!With Green blocking the defender in front of the side, he is equivalent to being in an undefended state.All along, Curry has done a very good job of finding and creating shooting space.

but!

"boom!"

The arc of this shot is still very positive, but the strength is a bit lacking.The basketball hit the front of the rim and bounced in the direction of the right elbow.Adams arched his buttocks, straight up, and took off the basketball flying in mid-air.The Thunder once again blocked the Warriors' offense.

Westbrook and Anlo retreated across the center line in the first place, followed by Curry and Thompson.After Adams grabbed the rebound, he saw Westbrook waving at him, and immediately raised his arm and threw the basketball to the three-point line on the other side of the court.

In terms of speed, none of the players present could run faster than Westbrook.Even if you look at the entire league, he is the best.The Thunder has always been very good at defending and counterattacking quickly, which is largely based on this.

Westbrook took control of the basketball first, and then went straight to the penalty area without slowing down.Curry, who was chasing him, was one position behind and could not cause effective interference.At this time, Thompson on the other side gave up An Luo directly. His height and wingspan posed a great threat to Westbrook's layup.At this time, Westbrook can actually pass the ball to An Luo who is in the open position.But he didn't!He continued to walk in, tossing the ball directly over the rim as Thompson approached him.

"This is unreasonable! Even if Westbrook doesn't pass the ball, he should go straight to the layup or dunk."

"No! An Luo flew up! Wow! Is this an empty pick? No way! An Luo empty pick?"

"Beautiful! It's really an alley-oop! The jump is really high! The physical fitness of An Luo is very good. I heard that at the Asian Cup last year, Du Feng didn't believe An Luo's physical test data at first. Later ..."

The continuous lobs and dunks in the opening set the entire Chesapeake Energy Arena on fire.It took less than 2 minutes for the Thunder to tear off the label of the shooting team on their body and turn the game into a slam dunk contest.

The fans at the scene were overjoyed.Especially the alley pick between Westbrook and An Luo!Of course, it's not surprising that the former made such a pass.But it was a bit surprising that he passed it to An Luo!The people in this arena are too familiar with An Luo.Most of his dunks are done when the basket is empty.Occasionally there will be flashes of inspiration, but compared with those defenders who fly into the sky and escape from the ground at every turn, they are still worse.Now comes such a very powerful alley-oop dunk, the impact is really not small.

When everyone was discussing An Luo's dunk this time, Cole really frowned.He found that in these few offenses, it seems that the Thunder's defense has been strengthened, but in fact, whether it is Curry or Thompson, their touch is the biggest problem.They also shot a lot of such balls in the first half, but now they just can't make them.

Therefore, even though Green had already served the ball, he still called a timeout.Since there is a problem, adjust it immediately.In fact, in his heart, he already had a plan.

After returning from the timeout, the Warriors began to play inside.The closer to the basket, the higher the shooting rate.This principle is useful at any time.As a result, Durant once again became the main offensive point of the Warriors.But this time, Durant failed to stabilize the situation.Because, the Thunder's perimeter players are getting hotter!

The first to show up was An Luo.While he has been very accurate, he doesn't take many shots.In the following games, after the Thunder began to move the offensive point to the outside, his chances increased.Paul George also contributed from beyond the arc.Of course, these two are considered normal performances, and the most prominent one is Westbrook.Surprised everyone with four [-]-pointers in the first half.I never thought that his three-pointers were still accurate in the second half!

Like a replica of the first half, the Thunder's outside players took advantage of the heat and launched a sharp attack on the Warriors.The Warriors' defense is not a big problem, but they just can't limit the opponent's shots.

Cole called all his timeouts, but still couldn't interrupt the Thunder's rhythm.In the end, he could only sit on the sidelines and watch the opponent tie the score and overtake.

Throughout the third quarter, the Thunder made a total of 10 three-pointers!Moreover, the hit rate is as high as 9%!Under such firepower, the Warriors not only lost their nearly double-digit lead in the first half, but also fell into a passive situation.In the last quarter, they had to start the final confrontation with each other with a [-]-point deficit.

Durant's role at this time is reflected!Although he alone couldn't completely withstand the full-fire Thunder, his performance allowed the Warriors to barely survive the Thunder's big explosion in the third quarter.Let them retain the opportunity to have a decisive battle with the Thunder in the last quarter of the game.
