After the timeout, Zhou Yang made his debut first, and Curry continued to rest.

Before the last time, Zhou Yang put his arms around Butler's neck and whispered a few words.

The game continues.

The Warriors attacked, and the Thunder replaced Sefolosha, who double-teamed Zhou Yang with the substitute Lamb.

Zhou Yang didn't hit hard, but gave Butler a look.

Butler immediately came over to block Lamb, and Zhou Yang took the opportunity to break through from the right.

Just when the two were chasing Zhou Yang, Butler suddenly moved sideways to the left line.

Zhou Yang passed the ball behind his head and delivered the ball to Butler accurately.

Butler made a three-pointer!

Butler's three-pointers are mediocre this season, shooting only 31% from the field, and he doesn't take many shots.

But this guy is tough, and in the crucial fourth quarter, his three-point shooting percentage will increase rapidly, which is also a strange thing!

According to statistics, Butler's three-point shooting rate in the first three quarters was only 27%, but in the fourth quarter, his shooting rate was 42%!

That's why Zhou Yang trusted him so much.

Swish!

Three point hit.

After scoring the goal, Butler also pumped his fist and roared excitedly, and ran towards Zhou Yang at the same time, and the two hugged together.

He did not disappoint Zhou Yang's trust, and he also thanked Zhou Yang for his trust.

Zhou Yang patted him on the shoulder vigorously, and encouraged him: "You can do it, keep showing!"

"I will... I will!"

On the next turn, the Thunder attack.

Westbrook holds the ball at the top of the arc.

With his character, he must respond strongly to maintain the Thunder's lead.

Westbrook's fighting spirit will never fade away!

Collison stepped forward to block Thomas Jr., and Westbrook got close to the baseline.

In fact, his rush to the bottom line was just a means, not an end, but to compress the Warriors' defense.

Just now he used this trick to tear open the Warriors' line of defense frequently.

Westbrook looked for Lamb.

Unexpectedly, Lamb was clinging to Butler like a brown candy, and he couldn't get out of the open space at all.

Westbrook had no choice but to see that the attack time was running out, so he made a hasty shot!

Boom!

short.

Zhou Yang jumped high, protected the rebound, and passed a long pass directly to Thomas Jr. near the center line.

The little train killed halftime and scored with a basket!

One offense and one defense, two rounds, the Warriors recovered 5 points!

The Thunder also led by 9 points.

Brooks didn't dare to neglect, and quickly called a timeout.

He is going to be the main force.

9 points is not safe, and the main players need to come up to stabilize the point difference.

The Thunder fans were extremely excited, they seemed to see the hope of victory!

It was not easy to play more than 6 minutes in the fourth quarter and lead by 9 points.

During the timeout, Nelson Sr. also dispatched troops and replaced most of the main players, leaving Butler behind.

In these few games, Butler's stable output characteristics as soon as he reached the fourth quarter made Nelson very gratified.

When Zhou Yang called for Butler, the old Nelson was not satisfied. He wanted a big insider.

But it turns out that if the Warriors' small ball tactics can continue to be popular in the league, they need a striker.

Butler's tough performance on both ends of the offense and defense makes the Warriors' bench no weaker than any team.

The Thunder put on the strongest lineup: Ibaka, Durant, Westbrook, Harden, Sefolosha.

They gave up the meat shield center Perkins, just to play fast and explosive with the Warriors.

For the Warriors, Chandler, Zhou Yang, Curry, Butler, and Turkoglu are also a super lineup.

The most exciting game was about to begin, and some Thunder fans stood up, staring nervously at the situation on the field.

The Thunder attack.

Harden holds the ball at the top of the arc, Curry defends alone, Durant and Westbrook pull away one by one.

Ibaka suddenly raised it and blocked Curry.

Harden took advantage of the situation and rushed towards the penalty area.

Chandler fought and retreated, waiting for Harden in the penalty area.

Harden looked at Durant and Westbrook from the corner of his eye, and found that there was no defense in front of Durant.

good chance!

Harden immediately passed the ball.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Durant received the ball, Zhou Yang rushed over.

Durant's heart tightened, and he wanted to pull it out directly, but Zhou Yang stuck tightly to his lower body.

This can be regarded as grasping Durant's weakness.

A shooter is not afraid of you interfering with his upper body.

Anyway, you can't touch his arm, interfere as you like.

Just like Shane Battier, even if you seal my eyes, I can still throw it out, and I can still go in!

Because the top shooter does not rely on eyes, but on feeling!

What is the weakness of the shooter?

It's his next game.

If his legs are restricted, he will not be able to exert force as he wants, and the muscle memory will be destroyed!

Durant was very uncomfortable and couldn't pull directly. In desperation, he had no choice but to drop the ball first, then back slowly, looking for opportunities to break through.

This is what Zhou Yang hoped for, and he must not be let out.

So Zhou Yang continued to press forward, sticking to the defense tightly.

In order not to be intercepted by Zhou Yang, Durant turned sideways to face Zhou Yang and dribbled the ball slowly.

This talent is really strong, Durant's posture, no one can break the ball.

Zhou Yang was not in a hurry, so he wrapped his legs around Durant and stared at his shoulder.

Hands can be deceiving, footsteps can be deceiving, but shoulders cannot be deceiving!

If the offense wants to collect the ball, or pull up a jumper, the shoulder will definitely show its flaws.

Sure enough, with 4 seconds left in the Thunder's attack time, Durant kicked his feet, his shoulders sank, and he made a breakthrough to the right.

If it is another defender, he must move quickly to block Durant's breakthrough route.

But when Zhou Yang saw Durant's shoulder, he knew he was going to shoot.

If you go to block the breakthrough route, you will be cheated!

So instead of going around, Zhou Yang accelerated and went around behind Durant.

Durant's shooting style is very smooth, so as long as he makes the first step, it will be used naturally later.

He didn't even notice that Zhou Yang had already run behind him.

At the moment when he quickly collected the ball and was about to pull directly, Zhou Yang drew out his right hand, bang!

He directly took the ball from Durant's hand.

Durant jumped up, but the ball was gone. Shocked, he turned his head in the air and saw that Zhou Yang had already launched a counterattack.

No one else could react, Zhou Yang went to the meeting alone and killed half of the meeting.

Westbrook was the one who reacted the fastest in Thunder, kicked off the ground fiercely, rushed out, and chased after Zhou Yang closely!

Zhou Yang felt footsteps behind him, and he was not in a hurry.

Now it is the stage of chasing points. Not only does he want to get two points, but he also wants an additional penalty of 2+1!

Originally, Zhou Yang had a good impression of Westbrook and didn't want to cheat him.

But this is a critical moment in the fourth quarter. The stadium is like a battlefield, and everyone is in charge, so they can't take care of so much.

Zhou Yang slowed down a little and got inside the three-point line.

Westbrook caught up with Zhou Yang and wanted to steal the ball at first.

But he hit the ball twice and didn't touch the ball. Zhou Yang protected the ball very well.

In desperation, Westbrook changed his mind. He accelerated again and squeezed in front of Zhou Yang's side, preparing to destroy Zhou Yang when he made a layup.

This is what Zhou Yang was waiting for!
