Start without the ball

Chapter 296

Cole frowned, and successfully restrained Li Haoyu by staring at the quadruple, but he never expected Westbrook to hit two three-pointers in a row. In desperation, he signaled to return to man-marking like a player on the field.

The assistant coach suggested: "Do you want to replace Kevin? His physical fitness has declined. It is not appropriate to let him play high-intensity games after returning from injury."

Cole: "Tell me, who can support the offense if Kevin is replaced? We have no choice!"

The Warriors attacked, the tool man Cook dribbled the ball across the center line, gave the ball to Durant at the top of the arc, and then ran to the bottom corner to open up space for his teammates' singles.

Rooney and Green stepped forward to double screen, Ferguson was blocked, Durant burst to the right side covered by Rooney, and Adams switched defenses.

With the advantage of speed, Durant was half a body ahead of Adams and made a layup.

23:17.

The Thunder attacked, Li Haoyu came to the frontcourt, and observed that the Warriors had returned to normal marking.

In the next game, because the Warriors switched back to normal marking, Li Haoyu got rid of the shackles and once again took on the heavy responsibility of the Thunder's offense.

As for the Warriors, Durant's physical fitness has declined severely, and he can only rely on his teammates' pick-and-rolls to find opportunities. His efficiency is far lower than that of Li Haoyu, and the Thunder took the opportunity to expand their lead.

第一节来到2分21秒，双方战成31比20，雷霆将获得了11分领先。

Entering the transition period, the Thunder is led by Paul George, while the Warriors are led by Curry and Iguodala.

At the end of the first quarter, the two sides battled 36 to 27, and the Thunder led by 9 points.

On the Warriors bench, Kerr said:
"Kevin, I know you have some problems with your fitness, but we have no choice, you are the best player in the league, hang on, you can do it!"

The exhausted Durant didn't say a word, and picked up a water glass to replenish water. He needed to hurry up to recover his physical fitness.

On the Thunder bench, everyone was much more relaxed.

Westbrook patted Ferguson on the shoulder and said, "From now on, you will be the only iron god in the Thunder team."

Ferguson: "We agreed to work together forever, how could you abandon me, and I practiced shooting quite a lot."

Westbrook grinned and showed his sharp little canine teeth, and said with a smile: "Hey, it means you have no shooting talent!"

Heartbroken!Ferguson was in a depressed autism.

Veteran Felton comforted: "I know that you practice shooting very hard, but you have to pay attention to the method. Russell is also aware of his problems after Lee's guidance."

After hearing this, Ferguson looked at Li Haoyu pitifully: "Li, can you also guide me in shooting, please, I really don't want to play iron anymore."

Li Haoyu: "I'll talk about this matter later, the game is not over yet!"

Donovan: "Lee is right. We are only leading by 9 points. You must know that the opponent is the defending champion. One negligence may ruin our advantage. We cannot relax our vigilance now! Now, I will arrange the second festival arrangement"

Everyone's expressions became serious, and they listened carefully to Donovan's arrangement.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the two sides sent out pure substitute lineups. The Thunder focused on Schroeder and Morris’ pick-and-rolls, while the Warriors relied on Iguodala. Still leading by 9 points.

The main force returned to the court, the Thunder attacked, Westbrook dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, passed the ball to Li Haoyu, who was 45 degrees to the left, and brought Curry to the low post.

The low post has an advantage, and Li Haoyu passed the ball to Westbrook.

After getting the ball, Westbrook didn't dribble immediately. He knew that once he dribbled, Rooney inside would come to attack. He was waiting, waiting for Li Haoyu to create opportunities.

However, after 4 confrontations, Thompson clearly knew that once he turned his head, Li Haoyu would seize the opportunity and run away without a trace. He stuck to Li Haoyu's side tightly and did not give him a chance to cut inside.

"Hey, Curry is going to be ravaged by Russell, why don't you look back? Are you so heartless?"

Klay Thompson didn't say a word. After these days of fighting, he has clearly understood Li Haoyu's words, and he can't even believe the punctuation marks!
Seeing Clay who was indifferent, Li Haoyu decided to take the initiative to attack. He ran straight to the top of the arc, blocking Durant's left side.

George rushed 45 degrees to the left. Durant was afraid of Li Haoyu's foul-making ability, so he didn't choose to force his way through the screen just to be on the safe side.

Klay chose to switch to follow George who was charging 45 degrees.

At the same time, Westbrook on the inside started dribbling, and Rooney hurried forward to pinch.

The inside line was attracted by Westbrook, Li Haoyu seized the opportunity, turned around and cut to the basket.

Westbrook passed the ball in time, and Li Haoyu started to attack the frame after receiving the ball.

Green rushed back to the basket on the right to block the shot, but Li Haoyu gave the ball to the right corner with a sly smile on his lips.

Grant is in ambush there!None of the Warriors players could arrive, and the Thunder aimed at the basket and made a steady shot.

shuh~
Hollow into the net! 45 to 34, Li Haoyu assisted his teammates to expand the point difference to 11 points again!
O'Neal: "Lee turned the Warriors' defense upside down! His ability to create opportunities is too strong."

Barkley: "Although the Warriors' defensive rotation is very good, the Ghost Mamba is really flexible. He first covered George, Clay switched defenses to deal with it, and then Lee cut to the basket when Rooney went to pinch. Going to Green created a great open opportunity for Grant."

The game returned to the rhythm at the beginning of the first quarter. Durant, who recovered his physical fitness, relied on his individual singles to score consecutive points. The Thunder relied on Li Haoyu's running to get involved. The whole team had a chance, and the game fell into a stalemate.

This situation did not last long. With 4 minutes left in the second quarter, Durant made two consecutive attacks, and his physical fitness began to decline again!

The Thunder took the opportunity to expand their lead. The two sides battled 57 to 42, and the Thunder took a 15-point lead.

On the Warriors' bench, Cole frowned, and the splash was frozen by Li Haoyu and Westbrook. The only thing the Warriors can rely on is Durant. Now he can only hope that the Finals MVP will surpass himself and forcefully carry the game.

On the court, Durant is also aware of his physical problems, but he forced his comeback just to turn the tide!

Before the last moment of the game, he would never give up hope, fell 45 degrees to the right, and received the basketball from Green again.

Signaling everyone to pull away, Durant began to dribble, and George was ready.

Suddenly, Durant made a heavy heart, his right hand gradually moved closer to the left hand dribbling, and George stepped forward to interfere.

The Warriors forward changed direction in front of his body, dribbled the ball to his right hand, and kicked the ground with his right foot.

At this moment, Durant felt abnormal pain in his right leg when he kicked off the ground, and lost support and fell to the ground.

Seeing Love clutching his calf in pain, Cole realized that the worst thing had happened!
