Start without the ball

Chapter 270

In the second quarter, Curry regained his rhythm and broke the scoring shortage, but Cole was not happy at all.

Because Thunder has a higher success rate!

Here Curry worked hard to score a goal, and the Thunder can respond in an easier way later.

What's even more insane is that after Westbrook played a few rounds, Li Haoyu replaced Curry with himself through the pick-and-roll and continued to attack the low post.

Curry is now complaining that every day is not working, and the ground is not responding. He has never been so disgusted with low positions as he is now.

The reckless Westbrook crushed Curry by relying on strength, while Li Haoyu outsmarted Curry by relying on his footsteps and height. He was almost unable to take care of himself under these two offensives.

You say flanking?Li Haoyu will let you know what cruelty is!
His extraordinary ball intelligence allows him to read the defense perfectly, pass the ball to the most threatening position, and kill the Warriors in one fell swoop.

In the second quarter, the score continued to expand. At the end of the half, the two sides battled 63 to 44, and the Thunder led by 19 points!
During the halftime break, Cole tried to inspire the players' fighting spirit and let them play to their potential, but with little success. In the second half of the game, Curry was overwhelmed. The defensive end had to face the low post and the offensive end had to score. Really couldn't hold it anymore, poor physical fitness led to a sharp drop in shooting percentage, and the Thunder expanded the score to 25 points in one fell swoop.

At 4 minutes and 21 seconds of the fourth quarter, Cole saw the irreparable 20-point difference, replaced the substitute, and strategically gave up the first game of the Western Conference Finals.

In the end, the Thunder beat the Warriors by 118 to 101 and 17 points in the away game, and got a good start to the Western Conference Finals!

In this campaign, Li Haoyu continued his excellent performance, scoring 32 points, 5 rebounds and 11 assists.

Westbrook scored a game-high 37 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists.

George scored 21 points, and the Thunder scored 90 points together!
On the Warriors' side, Curry scored a team-high 31 points, while Thompson played sluggishly, scoring only 14 points.

After winning the first game, everyone in the Thunder returned to the locker room, and Westbrook, who played well, sang loudly.

Although the whole team thought it was ugly, they didn't try to stop Westbrook. For the sake of his carry game today, everyone decided to pamper him once.

Bayer walked in and said, "Russell, Lee, you two will go to the press conference later."

Ferguson: "If you came two minutes later, I would probably vomit blood and die. Thank you for interrupting Russell's singing."

Westbrook: "Isn't my song "I Feel Good" not good? I think it fits the occasion."

Li Haoyu: "Bro, you mainly need an auto tune, as long as the power is turned on, no matter how bad the singing is, there will be a rescue."

George: "Just let him sing once. This season we played against the Warriors twice this season and he was not there. Forgive him for playing so well this time."

Wei Shaohan said with a smile: "It feels so good to beat Curry violently. In the past, Clay always helped him defend. With Lee's restraint, I have eaten all the bones from him in the low post today! The revenge has been avenged." Just a feeling, I feel good!"

Realizing that Westbrook was about to sing again, Li Haoyu hurried to the bathroom.

At the same time, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr was being interviewed at the media release center of the Oracle Center.

"Mr. Cole, hello, I'm EPSN reporter Howard, what is the main reason for today's loss?"

Cole: "Kevin's absence has affected the thickness of our lineup. The Thunder played very aggressively today, especially Russell, who caused a lot of trouble in the low post.

Not only that, Lee is also a difficult problem. We did too badly defensively. What's more troublesome is that Lee is extremely explosive in the transition period.

After we go back, we will carefully study the problem. In the next game, we will show enough competitiveness. Don't underestimate the heart of a championship! "

"Hello, I'm Pete, a reporter from TNT. How is Kevin's injury? Can he make a comeback in the next game?"

Cole: "The current situation is relatively positive. His condition is getting better day by day. I believe he will be able to return to the court soon."

After Cole, the Splash Brothers sat in the interview booth.

"Hello, Mr. Curry, what do you think of the Thunder attacking the low position many times today?"

Curry had an mmp but he couldn't say it. After wording it, he said: "They are consuming my physical energy. Yes, this caused us a lot of trouble, but we will solve this problem in the next game."

"Because the Thunder is very weak at the 2 position, Klay can help you share your defensive pressure, but now they have Lee, because of his containment, you can only face strong Russell, we see you defending Does it mean that you are not as good as Russell in one-on-one?"

Curry: "Man, I have three championships, and three is greater than zero! Next question"

Another reporter asked: "Hello, I would like to ask Mr. Clay, you only scored 14 points in this game. What is the reason for your sluggish performance?"

Thompson picked up the microphone, was silent for 2 seconds, and said frankly: "Lee's defense made it difficult for me to find the rhythm. He saw through my running route. After the game, we went back to analyze the video and tried to find a solution."

After the Splash Brothers left, Donovan came to the interview booth with a smile on his face.

"Hi Mr. Donovan, congratulations on winning the game. Today you let Russell attack in the low post many times. Is this a tactical arrangement?"

Donovan stroked the few remaining gray hairs, and said proudly:

"Yes, everyone knows that Russell's physical fitness is outstanding on our team, and everyone knows that Curry's body is his weakness,

In fact, I wanted to do this a long time ago, but because of the limited lineup, the Warriors always used Clay to defend Russell, but now we have Lee!I was finally able to execute this strategy, and the effect was very obvious, Russell set up enough advantages for us in the low post today. "

"Lee's growth is amazing. The Thunder has rich experience in developing young players. Can you talk about this?"

cough cough.

Donovan coughed lightly to hide his guilty conscience. Even he himself did not expect Li to grow to the point where he is now. All of this is the result of his own hard work, but the experienced Donovan knows that this is a big problem. Great opportunity to advertise your team.

"Our coaching staff will give training suggestions to young players. As long as they are willing to train hard, our trainers are ready to help them. Of course, this is also inseparable from Li's own talent and hard work. They were the first players to come to the court for training every time, and they were notoriously rats in the arena.”

"Will you focus on low positions in the next game or change your strategy?"

"Our coaching staff will go back to discuss and make a decision. We have excellent players, and their execution ability allows us to have a wealth of tactical reserves. We will still go all out for the next game."
