With a height of 2.16 meters, a wingspan of 2.31 meters, and a vertical jump that seems to be almost 80cm, the visual effect looks really explosive.
It feels like Lu Yao has taken off from the same spot!
Or in a sense, Lu Yao really flew.
After scoring the goal, Lu Yao came to the Thunder bench and high-fived the players off the court to celebrate!
After the stunned people came to their senses, they burst into violent cheers.
The atmosphere in the Energy Center reached its peak with Lu Yao's dunk!
The Warriors players were already confused. They had never seen such a mysterious player.
Now they understand why the outside world praises Lu Yao so much.
Lu Yao is full of talent, not to mention his extremely high golf IQ and proficient skills. Isn't such a player a monster?
The morale of the warriors gradually declined.
The Thunder took advantage of the victory and not only recovered the score with two three-pointers, they even expanded their advantage before halftime.
With Westbrook's three-pointer at the buzzer, the Thunder ended the first half with a 5-point advantage!
56:51! The Thunder went from being three points behind at the beginning to five points ahead now. All the credit for this must be attributed to Lu Yao.
Lu Yao scored 21 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists at halftime! He only missed one goal and had a terrifying hit rate of 90%, which was the ultimate.
In the second half of the second quarter, Curry was uncomfortable being restricted, and his hand became a bit icy. Not only did his shooting percentage drop, but he also made three turnovers.
However, the strong backing ability of the Warriors team system prevented the Warriors from being suddenly opened up.
But currently, the Warriors are not far from defeat in this game.
However, the Warriors fans in front of the TV believe that the Warriors will not collapse.
As their team name says, they are fearless warriors!
In the third quarter, the Warriors will definitely launch a fierce counterattack!
Not long after, the second half began.
As soon as they came up, the Warriors hit two three-pointers. Although Durant, who came back on the court, responded with a three-pointer, the Warriors still brought the score back to two points.
If this is the case, the Warriors only need to hit a three-pointer to bring the score back.
But a three-pointer is not difficult for the Warriors.
But Lu Yao did not allow the Warriors to overtake the score.
The Warriors had the ball, Curry brought the ball to the frontcourt, and his opponent happened to be Lu Yao again.
This is the third one-on-one confrontation between the two in this game.
As soon as they met, Lu Yao increased Curry's intensity, pressing every step of the way without giving Curry any room to break through.
Curry wanted to hit the ball directly, but now Lu Yao seems to have changed. His long arms and solid footsteps have made him impeccable. Curry can't find any space to hit the ball.
A small fight turned into a big fight like this. This is the first time Curry has encountered this situation.
"Lu, I didn't expect you to be so strong."
While Curry was looking for room for breakthrough, he did not forget to praise Lu Yao.
Lu Yao smiled slightly and responded: "Thank you for the compliment, you are very strong too."
Seeing that there was not much time to attack, Curry wanted to give it a try and lead it towards the bottom corner.
Lu Yao also followed Curry closely, not giving him any space to pass the ball!
Coming to the corner, there were only three seconds left in the attack time.
Curry understood that he could no longer hesitate, and immediately adjusted his posture and shot directly from the three-pointer.
Did he ever think that a big hand would directly cover the ball in his hand!
It was Lu Yao. Lu Yao directly blocked Curry's three-pointer.
Curry, who has always been known for his inability to block shots, was blocked by Lu Yao this time!
The ball was directly destroyed and went out of bounds. Although it belonged to the Warriors, this was not welcome news for the Warriors.
After all, their star player is currently in decline and is restricted.
It's rare for the Warriors to encounter this kind of situation this season. At most, it's just one of Curry's limitations and his decline in touch. But now, both situations have appeared.
On the offensive end, Curry was constantly restricted by Lu Yao. Sometimes he even couldn't get the ball off, and his entire offensive rhythm was chaotic.
He can even miss an open three-pointer without the ball, which shows that Curry is now extremely panicked.
Now the core of this Warriors is Curry. As long as there is a problem with Curry, the entire Warriors' tactical system will fall apart.
In the first half of the third quarter, the Warriors made only 3 of 13 shots, with a dismal shooting percentage. All rebounds, assists, steals and blocks were all blown away by the Thunder.
Lu Yao defeated the entire warrior with just his own strength!
Cole's forehead also broke out in sweat, and he decisively called a timeout to the referee.
After all, the Thunder are already ten points ahead. If the Warriors don't make some adjustments, the Thunder will take away the game in a wave.
At this moment, Lu Yao's superb performance in the CCTV live broadcast room also aroused heated discussions among netizens.
"As expected of me, God Lu, I am strong!"
"Lu Yao is really terrifying. Even Curry was beaten by him on both offense and defense."
"No matter whether Lu Yao loses or wins tonight, the top spot of MVP will definitely belong to him!"
"After beating the two superstars James and Curry one after another, Lu Yao is going to turn the world upside down!"
His eyes returned to the court. After returning from the timeout, Lu Yao fouled Green and went to the free throw line.
Looking at the basket, Lu Yao took a deep breath, then dribbled the ball a few times on the spot to find his feel.
At this moment, the energy center rang out a word in unison.
"MVP! MVP! MVP!"
The MVP's cheers seemed to resound throughout Oklahoma, deafening, and also reached the ears of the Warriors players present.
The Warriors players all looked solemn, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Curry was standing on the sidelines, taking deep breaths to calm down.
As the leader of this team, Curry will never let the Warriors continue to be like this.
After the free throw, Lu Yao was substituted and replaced by Ibaka.
Then, the counterattack from the Warriors began.
Curry scored four consecutive three-pointers in the first half of the quarter, leading the Warriors to an 11-0 climax, and recovered the score before the end of the third quarter!
The morale of the warriors seemed to be back again.
In the commentary box, Kenny Smith couldn't help but sigh.
"As expected of the league's No. 1 team, the pace of chasing points is really fast. In just half a quarter, the Warriors went from leading by ten points to being tied now."
"If the Thunder don't replace Lu Yao, they will have to watch the balance of victory tilt toward the Warriors!"
At the end of the third quarter, the score was fixed at 73:73, and the Warriors and Thunder were temporarily tied!
