NBA: At the beginning of the full-level power, Curry was stunned by me

After the timeout, the Thunder switched to the main lineup again, and for the Warriors, Curry continued to rest and the other main players appeared.

The reason why Curry was allowed to continue to rest was mainly because Zhou Yang was in good shape, and Curry played the first quarter and was not in a hurry to come up.

With an 11-point difference, the Thunder players are under a lot of pressure.

So as soon as Durant came up, he took the initiative to ask for the ball, ready to play a strong one.

But Zhou Yang didn't give him a chance at all. As soon as he caught the ball, Zhou Yang rushed over and double-teamed him with Tony Allen.

Durant seemed to be prepared and didn't panic. When he saw Zhou Yang coming, he swung his long arm, whoosh!

Passed the ball directly to Sefolosha who was open.

Zhou Yang was surprised that Durant's overall view was so strong.

After Sefolosha received the ball, he didn't panic at all and shot calmly!

From this point of view, it is a tactic that is often used in training. It is very proficient, so the hit rate is also high.

Swish!

Three point hit!

The point difference returned to 8 points in an instant.

The Thunder's home fans danced excitedly, and they saw the hope of chasing points again.

Zhou Yang and his teammates made a gesture, indicating that it was his mistake, and he took the responsibility for losing the ball on himself.

In fact, this is not Zhou Yang's fault, it's just a gamble, and he just lost.

Durant has also evolved. He is no longer obsessed with stick singles, but takes advantage of his height and arm length to increase his passing skills.

Although Durant can't become a top passer no matter how he evolves, with his singles ability, he is destined to attract the opponent's key defense, and then find his open teammates, which will be very difficult to defend in the game.

Warriors attack.

Zhou Yang was double-teamed just after halftime.

Thunder also had no choice. Zhou Yang's attack was too fierce just now, and he couldn't prevent it without double-teaming.

Zhou Yang didn't attack by himself, he also chose to pass the ball.

Whoosh!

Passed directly to Turkoglu.

Turkoglu faced Ibaka and dribbled the ball a few times. From the corner of his eye, he saw Tony Allen cut into the penalty area and passed it immediately.

Tony Allen is not only a defensive champion, but also very quick in the air cut.

After receiving the ball, he went straight to the basket in three steps.

But Perkins came back and knocked Tony Allen to the ground.

beep!

The referee whistled and called Perkins for a foul, and Allen made two free throws.

Zhou Yang used his attractiveness to give his teammates an offensive opportunity. Although the opportunity came from Tony Allen, which was not the best choice, it was worthwhile to cause a foul by Perkins.

Teammates used to encourage Tony Allen to take it easy.

In fact, Tony Allen's free throw percentage is not low, about 70.00%.

He stood at the free throw line, took a deep breath, and hit the first free throw.

Then, Allen's second free throw went a bit wide, and the basketball bounced a few times on the rim and fell out.

But Chandler roared, grabbed the front board, and then scored on a floater over Perkins.

The Warriors players were overjoyed, while the Thunder players shook their heads in frustration.

The point difference has returned to 11 points, it is difficult for the Thunder!

The Thunder attack.

Westbrook went to the frontcourt and used the cover of his teammates to kill into the penalty area.

Chandler makes up defense, Westbrook goes up, beep!

The referee blows the whistle and blows Chandler's blocking foul.

Westbrook's ferocious breakthrough saved the Thunder's face.

This is Chandler's second foul.

Westbrook went to the free throw line and made two free throws.

The point difference returned to 9 points.

This point difference is very subtle, the two sides are deadlocked, and no one dares to relax.

If the point difference is widened and they run for 20 points, the Thunder will be in danger in the second half.

If the point difference is narrowed, then the Warriors' momentum to play away games will be suppressed, and it is very likely that they will be taken away by the Thunder in the second half.

This year's Thunder is not the Thunder of the previous two seasons. They already have the strength to compete with the Warriors.

After a few rounds, the difference between the two sides is still 10 points, there is no big change.

With more than 2 minutes left in the first half, the score came to 52:42, and the Warriors led by 10 points.

Brooks called another short timeout.

He will replace Harden, replace Perkins, and play a small lineup at the end of the first half.

This is Thunder's death five, which can grab points.

In the first Western Conference Finals, this lineup scored a lot of points and suppressed the Warriors.

Zhou Yang and Curry were discussing how to deal with the small lineup. They were also very troubled by the death of the Thunder.

"Second brother Yang, let's speed up with them, I don't believe it, we can still be afraid of their fifth child?"

Zhou Yang shook his head: "Stephen, no, if you play fast, the Thunder have Durant and Westbrook, and their impact is not weaker than ours."

"So what?" Curry scratched his head.

"Let's slow down and fight positional warfare!" Zhou Yang said firmly.

"Huh? Slow down?" Curry stared into his big clear eyes, thinking he had heard it wrong.

The Warriors have always played run-and-gun tactics. At the fastest time, an attack only took four or five seconds.

But slow down today?

After the timeout ended, Zhou Yang stood up and gathered his teammates together, and whispered a few words of advice.

The teammates nodded repeatedly.

Although everyone didn't quite understand what Zhou Yang meant, every decision Zhou Yang made proved to be correct.

The game continues.

The Thunder attack.

Durant faced double-teaming and gave Sefoloza the ball again.

Unfortunately, Sefolosha missed the shot this time, and Chandler protected the rebound.

The Thunder players retreated quickly to prevent the Warriors from fast breaks.

But the Warriors slowly passed halftime, and all players settled down.

Brooks rested his chin on his right hand, his head full of question marks, wondering what the hell the Warriors were doing, why was the pace so slow?

Zhou Yang and Curry played a pick-and-roll, and the Thunder players thought Zhou Yang was going to pass the ball to Curry.

But Zhou Yang changed direction and accelerated, reached the penalty area and made a successful mid-range shot.

This is a typical positional warfare style of play, making it hard for the Thunder to defend against.

The Thunder attacked, and the Warriors retreated quickly.

Durant wondered: Why is the Warriors playing so retro?What about the run and bomb tactics?

Harden dribbled the ball for half court, facing Curry's defense, he called Durant over, and the two also played a pick-and-roll.

Durant blocked Curry, Harden went near the paint area, and Tony Allen stepped forward to block.

Zhou Yang was wandering around the penalty area at this time, ready to help defend at any time.

This kind of defense made Harden a little overwhelmed.

Just when Harden wanted to pass back to Durant, Turkoglu was prepared, predicted in advance, and intercepted the ball.

The Thunder's defense was also quick. When they saw the ball was lost, the whole team immediately returned to defense.

The strange thing is that the Warriors passed the halftime slowly again, without running and bombing tactics.

The Thunder players returned to the half court out of breath, and looked at the Warriors players in shock, feeling incredible.

Come back early?

Zhou Yang passed the ball to Turkoglu, and then started running without the ball with Curry.

Suddenly, Curry ran out of space on the baseline, and Turkoglu immediately passed the ball!
