Chapter 856 The balance is broken
The Warriors fans at the scene were a little unwilling to believe that the home team, which had been going smoothly before, would be passive.In their eyes, the Warriors with Durant are unsolvable.
Many fans are emotional. They think that the members of their home team are perfect, but they don't know that even the Warriors can't ignore their lack of inside defensive gates and their two-team offensive space.These are all objective, just like the Thunder's offensive space has always been a problem.
As the game progressed, the main players of both sides gradually returned.
Westbrook came back in a very good state, using the impact of transitions and positional battles to continue the firepower for the team.As for the Warriors, Green's touch has picked up, and the three Tsunami brothers have also recovered a bit. At the end of the half, the point difference between the two teams further narrowed.
At the end of halftime, the away Thunder team led by 50 points at 48:2!
Xie Kai scored 17 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals in the half, and was the best player on the team.
勇士队这边得分最多的是杜兰特，他得到11分3个篮板1次助攻1个抢断1个盖帽。
Even if the defense is as strong as pickled peppers, it will be difficult to limit Durant without flanking.Durant's offensive shots are too exaggerated. Unless it is the peak KG, it is difficult for anyone to interfere with him.Moreover, he now has an excellent front-to-back + back-up ability, which allows him to have sufficient routines to deal with different defenders in one-on-one.
Both Xie Kai and Westbrook don't like Durant, but they never deny his ability.He's a very good scorer, efficient and versatile.On the defensive end, he can defend multiple positions and has a strong ability to assist in defense, but he is sometimes stunned when defending off the ball and covering.
Intermission.
Wang Meng showed little Thomas's smile: "It's wonderful! Mr. Yang, the first half of the game is over, can you predict the second half of the game?"
Yang Yi babbled, and then said: "This... is difficult. I still think it depends on how you play. If Green and Iguodala's shots have been poor, I think the Thunder are more likely to win. On the contrary, The Warriors who play at home have a better chance of winning.”
"It didn't say anything there at all!" Wang Meng said immediately.
"Who do you think wins?" Yang Yi was not to be outdone.
Wang Meng kept grinning: "I think the Thunder will win! Do you still remember who won Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals last season?"
Yang Yi smiled and said, "What kind of logic is this? Well, if you think it's Thunder, then I'll say it's a warrior."
Section 3 started soon.
The two sides are still the starting lineup for the opening game.The Thunder went first.
Westbrook slowly dribbled the ball and gave it to Duck.
The duck eggs are handed over and thanked.
Xie Kai walked in with the ball, crossed in front of his body, pressed in, and cut in with a jump, Ilyasova who scored the bottom line.
Turk Ilyasova hits a jumper—yes!
52:48, the Thunder lead by 4 points!
For the Warriors, Curry missed a 3-pointer!
Westbrook received the backcourt rebound and pushed back directly, hit the basket and was cut out of bounds by Green.
The Thunder sent the ball to the baseline, Pickle received the ball, and scored at the top of the arc.
Xie Kai points Westbrook and moves without the ball.
Westbrook faced Curry and forced an impact, causing the latter to foul!
Curry has committed 3...
Facing Westbrook, who is like a muscular man like a devil, although Curry is not considered the weakest point guard in the league, but in comparison, he really fell into a complete disadvantage.
But the Warriors have no choice. Originally, Clay could come to match Westbrook and use his height and size to limit him. They did this last season and asked Curry to match Robertson. Anyway, Robertson has no offensive ability with the ball.
But the problem is that the current No. 2 position of the Thunder is Xie Kai, the scoring leader. Let Curry match him.
Curry is the core of the Warriors' tactics. If he is eaten by Xie Kai and gets into foul trouble, it will be an irreparable loss to the team.
Although Westbrook is also very physically fit, the scoring method is relatively simple. He really can't stop his breakthrough. He can be let in and handed over to teammates who help defend.
Westbrook didn't feel good today, so he started to kill Curry.Compared with the Warriors, the Thunder's perimeter players have no relatively poor defense. Their problem has always been that they are afraid of being targeted by the opponent, such as Kanter or Duck.
Wang Meng said: "If Curry is beaten, it will be really bad for the Warriors!"
Yang Yi nodded and said, "Curry was beaten down, and the big men of the Thunder team will breathe a sigh of relief. Livingston didn't have a 3-pointer, so they don't have to save it."
The game continued.The Thunder attacked, and Westbrook rushed to Curry again. The latter dared not make a move. He kept letting him go to a deep position, and then passed the ball to Xie Kai on the right wing.
Xie Kai catches the ball and rushes again, stops, starts again, uses his agility, overtakes Clay, faces the slag's help defense, and distributes the ball to Duck from under his ribs!
Duck succeeded in dunking with one hand!
The Thunder led by 54 points at 48:6!
The Warriors fans in the stands are a little worried. The Thunder are really strong, and this is something they have to admit.Everyone knows how good Clay's defense is. You must know that Clay was responsible for defending Irving in last year's finals.
But seeing that Xie Kai didn't have a difficult fight against Clay's single defense, one knew how strong this man was.But the Warriors really don't want to easily flank at this stage of the game.The Thunder's space is really not good, but Westbrook and Pickle are stars after all, if you let them shoot, are they really Robertson's level of players?Moreover, Ilyasova is also a space-type 4th position, which can be defended occasionally, and I will always let you try and kill you.As for duck eggs, the ability to eat cakes is still very good, and the number of butter hands is very small, so they cannot be placed under the basket.
In the final analysis, Xie Kai's ability to play the ball is too BT. If you flank such a player, you are gambling.The reason why James' "one star and four shots" is so unsolvable is because his ability to play the ball is so good that the risk of flanking you is too high. Sometimes you know that one defense and one will be blown up with a high probability, but you dare not attack easily help defense.
So far, Xie Kai has sent out 7 assists, which ranks first in the two teams.The Warriors don't want him to mobilize his teammates, but sometimes they can't help it. When he comes inside, you can't help defending.
For the Warriors, Durant singled out pickled peppers and was defended as one!
Westbrook closed the board, the nitrogen accelerated, and he killed the frontcourt one-stop. Curry didn't dare to foul anymore, and watched him explode and dunk!
At 56:48, the point difference reached 8 points, and the Warriors could only choose to pause!
The fans of the home team in the Oracle Center arena are a little upset. How did the game end like this?Cole, what about your passing system?The opponent is playing like the Warriors, and the home team is playing like the Thunder, what's the deal?
