Chapter 452 Thunderclap coach was fooled
Zhou Yang's early rest really made the Thunder very confused, not knowing what the Warriors were going to do.
Curry continued to lead the Warriors to play.
However, what the Thunder players are most afraid of is Zhou Yang. No matter why the Warriors replaced Zhou Yang, the Thunder decided to increase their offensive to open the score.
As soon as Westbrook came up, he launched a crazy breakthrough.
This is Westbrook's impact. His breakthrough is also top-notch among historical point guards.
What worries him most about his breakthrough is Zhou Yang's defense, and he is not even afraid of Chandler.
Because although Chandler is tall enough and explosive enough, his speed is indeed a bit short.
And Zhou Yang's speed and explosive power are the most restrained Westbrook.
boom!
Westbrook broke into the penalty area and dunked, extremely domineering.
Unfortunately, while Westbrook was still roaring, the Warriors had already launched an offense.
Curry caught the ball on the halfway line and killed the half court.
Ibaka hurried to chase, but Curry threw it away at a distance of more than one meter from the three-point line.
Swish!
Three point hit!
This attack took just over 3 seconds, including the time the basketball was flying in the air.
Westbrook was still immersed in the joy of the dunk just now, roaring up to the sky, and as a result, the Warriors had already scored.
Thunder coach Brooks shook his head slightly on the sidelines. He really couldn't do anything about Westbrook. This kid is full of passion, but sometimes he always loses concentration.
After this back and forth, the Thunder lost another point.
The Thunder attack.
Westbrook didn't attack by himself this time, but honestly passed the ball to Durant.
Facing Butler's defense, Durant changed direction continuously, then suddenly pulled up and shot at the highest point. Butler could only watch him make a mid-range shot.
The Warriors attacked, and the Thunder Curry launched a frenzied attack.
In their view, Zhou Yang rested after the game, as long as Curry was strangled, the Warriors would lose their firepower.
However, they didn't expect that Curry's ability to play the ball has improved a lot.
In the regular season of this season, Zhou Yang and Nelson specially set aside a lot of time for Curry to practice leading the team alone.
This is how experience is accumulated. It takes competition and time.
Curry didn't adapt very well at the beginning, his character was not strong, and he never thought of leaving Zhou Yang.
So he saw that Zhou Yang deliberately staggered the time with him, and Curry was still a little unhappy.
But later, Zhou Yang did a good job in Curry's ideological work, and Curry also lived up to his expectations. He spent more and more time leading the team alone, and his performance became better and better.
Westbrook and Sefolosha double-teamed Curry, but Curry made a quick ball, whoosh!
The basketball was passed between the two.
Turkoglu catches the ball, attracts Ibaka's defense, and passes the ball again to Tony Allen in an air cut!
Although Allen's level of offense with the ball is average, he is also a must for empty cut layups.
Perkins also wanted to help defend, but was stuck by Chandler.
Swish!
Tony - Allen easily scored two points!
This shocked the Thunder players, Zhou Yang was not there, how could the Warriors play so sharply?
Zhou Yang once again served as the leader of the atmosphere team on the sidelines, cheering for the Warriors players!
"Steven, well done!"
Zhou Yang and Curry even took the time to slap each other.
In the next few minutes, although the Warriors couldn't defend against the Thunder's offense, the Thunder couldn't defend against Curry's sharp offense either.
第一节战至9分33秒，比分来到28:26，勇士领先2分。
Old Nelson called a timeout and was about to put on the bench.
Thunder players are all worried.
If Zhou Yang didn't play and couldn't take the lead, how would he play when Zhou Yang came on stage?
As the second-in-command of the Warriors, Curry can take care of you all. Where does this make the Thunder Four's face go?
Coach Brooks also had a serious expression on his face. He was also thinking about this question: why Zhou Yang left the game early.
What if Zhou Yang was injured?
Brooks thought about the question.
Of course, as a head coach with three correct views, Brooks absolutely does not want any player to be injured.
But Zhou Yang and the Clippers have gone through seven battles, and physical injuries are also very likely.
Thinking of this, Brooks suddenly had a bright head.
He took out the tactics board, kept drawing on it, and said tactics loudly.
Next, the Thunder's substitute core, Harden, will play, which is the most important part of the Thunder's scoring.
If Zhou Yang can't play, Curry's physical strength will definitely drop, so Harden will be the most important player to determine the direction of the game.
The timeout ended, and the Thunder replaced Harden, Cook, Collison, Muhammad, and Maynor.
As for the Warriors, Zhou Yang was still sitting below, and Old Nelson replaced the full bench.
Thomas Jr., Livingston, Butler, Turiaf and Barbosa.
As soon as Harden came up, he played a pick-and-roll with Collison, went to the penalty area, and fed Collison a big pie.
On the Warriors' side, Thomas Jr. wanted to fight back, and also played a pick-and-roll with Turiaf.
But the moment Turiaf caught the ball, he was bumped by Collison. He missed the ball and dropped it...
This is the shortcoming of Turiaf, the confrontation is a bit worse.
Cook grabbed the ball and launched a counterattack. Harden assisted teammate Maynor again and scored a layup.
Harden not only helped the team catch up with the score, but also overtook it.
The fans in the Oracle Arena couldn't sit still, they were all shouting Zhou Yang's name.
But the old Nelson seemed not to hear, and continued to watch the game with his arms folded on the sidelines.
Zhou Yang didn't look ready to play either. He wore a jacket and continued to serve as the team's cheerleader.
Brooks has been secretly looking at Zhou Yang, and now he is even more convinced that Zhou Yang must be injured!
Otherwise, how could Zhou Yang only play 5 minutes in the first quarter in such an important Western Conference Finals?
Harden is in good shape today, using all the weapons in his arsenal.
Step back three points!
Pocket pass!
Breakthrough to the restricted area, small throw!
After the first quarter, the Thunder have led by 8 points, 37:29!
This made the Golden State home fans quiet down.
Will Zhou Yang still be able to make it?what happened?
Amidst the fans' comments, Zhou Yang finally took off his coat slowly and was ready to go on stage!
Oracle Arena immediately burst into cheers!
"Second brother Yang, you are finally here!"
"Come on, Brother Yang, you must win the first match!"
"Warriors must win!"
……
Thunder coach Brooks was surprised when he saw Zhou Yang preparing to appear on the stage...
broken!
But he still has a fluke mentality, maybe this is the smoke bomb of the Warriors?
After Zhou Yang came on the field, in the first attack, he didn't make a shot. Instead, he walked to the bottom corner, put his hands on his knees, and watched the play.
Thomas Jr. passed the ball to Livingston, and Livingston turned around and made a ecstatic shot!
Unfortunately, under Cook's defense, the basketball turned half a circle and fell out again.
Harden immediately started, ready to counterattack.
