Chapter 451 Thunder 4 is young, come and challenge!
When Curry was interviewed, he was also full of praise for the Thunder.
If it was another player, it might be polite, but Curry is a real person. He really thinks that Thunder players are really strong.
"Harden and I are very good friends. The atmosphere of the Thunder team is very good. They shoot very accurately and defend very hard. I think the Western Conference Finals will be very exciting!"
The Splash Brothers praised the Thunder, but when the reporter interviewed the Thunder, the fourth young master was not so polite.
This is also normal. After all, the Warriors were last year's champions. As a challenger, the Thunder must show a tough attitude as a challenger.
Durant said to the media: "The Warriors' offense has been thoroughly studied by us. We will eliminate the Warriors within five games and reach the finals!"
Westbrook said: "We will strengthen our offensive power in the game. The Warriors can't defend us. This year's championship must be ours!"
Harden is very tactful, his character is not that kind of very strong person.
"Yes, I have a very good relationship with Zhou Yang and Curry. We often hang out together in private, but now it's the Western Conference Finals. I will not show mercy. I will definitely defeat the Warriors!"
Three days later, the much-anticipated Western Conference Finals kicked off.
Eight p.m., Golden State Oracle Arena.
The Western Conference Finals between the Warriors and the Thunder, G1.
The Thunder's starting lineup is Durant, Westbrook, Ibaka, Perkins, Sefolosha.
The Warriors' starting five are Zhou Yang, Curry, Chandler, Turkoglu and Tony Allen.
With a jump ball in the middle circle, Chandler grabbed the first wave of the ball.
Since the Thunder put tremendous pressure on the Warriors during the regular season, the Warriors launched a mad attack at the beginning of the game.
Zhou Yang rarely took the team's first three shots!
At the beginning of the game, the Warriors took the lead 5:2. Zhou Yang made 3 of 2 shots and scored 5 points.
On the Thunder side, relying on Westbrook's breakthrough layup, they scored 2 points.
Durant actually made 2 of 0 shots.
This disappointed many Thunder fans.
The fans at the Oracle Arena were overjoyed, and they hoped to see Zhou Yang output with all his strength.
Zhou Yang's early shot also greatly increased the confidence of the Warriors players.
This is what a superstar should do. The more important the game, he should stand up and win the game in his own way.
Thunder coach Brooks has done a lot to prepare for this series.
But at the beginning, he was still overwhelmed by Zhou Yang's aura.
He didn't call a timeout, but just stood quietly on the sidelines. He thought that Durant would definitely fight Zhou Yang until the last moment.
Sure enough, Durant has also grown this season. After missing the first two shots, he strengthened his breakthrough.
Durant's change of direction is simply too scary, with a huge range.
And the quality of the cover given to him by his teammates is higher.
Zhou Yang defended twice and was blocked by Perkins and Ibaka.
Durant took the opportunity to get to the basket and dunked.
For several superstars in the league, dunks are very entertaining.
Needless to say, James is a representative of violent aesthetics. Although he did not win the slam dunk contest, his tomahawk dunk in actual combat is also at a historical level.
The other is Zhou Yang.
He beat James in the dunk contest and won the championship, which shows that his dunks are quite explosive in terms of skill and strength.
In addition, violent guards like Westbrook, Rose, and Wade are also highly entertaining.
However, Zhou Yang's favorite dunk is actually Durant!
Durant's long hands and feet like a giant spider make his dunks look very easy. This kind of beauty is something other players say they don't have.
After Durant dunked, Zhou Yang wanted to retaliate.
But Sefolosha really worked hard, the Swiss Army Knife studied Zhou Yang thoroughly before the game.
So he also thought about it, and would rather let Zhou Yang shoot and score than let him rush to the basket and dunk.
This aroused Zhou Yang's fighting spirit.
He rushed to the edge of the penalty area, faced Sefolosha, suddenly accelerated, and rushed to the bottom line on the left.
Sefolosha moved quickly to block Zhou Yang's breakthrough route.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yang used the spinning top, and the whole person quickly turned in the opposite direction.
This gyro is different from the small sports car Parker.
In terms of speed, Parker may be faster, but Zhou Yang's spinning top has a better sense of rhythm and is very sudden.
Sefolosha's center of gravity had already reached the bottom line, but Zhou Yang's turning around made him unable to react at all.
After turning to the middle lane, Zhou Yang kicked his left foot, boo!
Soar up.
At this time, Ibaka also came to help defend, jumped high, stretched out his long arms, trying to destroy Zhou Yang's dunk!
But Zhou Yang actually took the ball away in the air, and then had a romantic encounter with Ibaka!
boom!
Ibakano's big body was knocked away!
And Zhou Yang's body is still rising.
This core strength is really amazing.
After knocking Ibaka away, Zhou Yang stretched out his right hand again and slammed the ball into the basket!
boom!
The deafening roar erupted in the Oracle Arena in an instant, it was so domineering!
Especially when the big screen above played it repeatedly from all angles, the audience could see clearly that Zhou Yang had done so many moves in the air!
Many fans have a high evaluation of Jordan's aerial work on the forum, that is: the old hooligan hesitates in the air.
And Zhou Yang's dunk just now is similar to Jordan's!
This goal will undoubtedly become the top ten goals of this year!
As an opponent, Durant was expressionless, but he was extremely shocked in his heart.
In the next few rounds, Durant's touch recovered, and the Warriors, led by Zhou Yang, took a slight lead.
After more than 5 minutes in the first quarter, the two teams scored 13:12, and the Warriors took the lead.
Enter the official suspension.
Zhou Yang and his teammates clapped hands one by one and walked to the sidelines.
"Coach, let me go down and rest for a while, and I will start at the end of the first quarter."
Zhou Yang suddenly sent a request to Old Nelson.
Old Nelson was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.
Zhou Yang has his own ideas and rhythm, and Old Nelson usually listens to him.
Zhou Yang actually used his unexpected playing time to throw the opponent's defense into chaos.
Once, old Nelson jokingly said: "Zhou Yang, I heard that Huaxia has a very famous Art of War by Sun Tzu, have you read that book?"
Zhou Yang replied with a smile: "I haven't read Sun Tzu's Art of War, but in our Chinese history, every stage is full of strategies, which still have an influence on me."
Old Nelson nodded enviously, and said mockingly, "Better than us, haha, we are only a few hundred years old."
Zhou Yang shook his head and said, "It's nothing. You are also very strong. When it comes to basketball, you are number one in the world. You don't need to be humble!"
