Lu Yao's three-pointer helped the Thunder widen the point difference to 8 points. At the same time, Lu Yao's personal score has also reached 30 points.
Lu Yao, who scored 30 points in the half, is heading towards 40+ points.
The Blazers' defensive players could only watch Lu Yao throw the ball into the basket, but they were powerless.
After all, Lu Yao's offense was so incomprehensible that he dared to force a shot despite the defense of two people, let alone score.
With such an unsolvable offensive method, no matter who it is, they will feel powerless, let alone the Trail Blazers.
Despite this, Lillard and Aldridge's originally silent touch began to become hotter, and their shots gradually became more accurate.
Aldridge kept beating Westbrook from behind on the wing, and he was proficient in small turnaround jumpers and floaters, helping the Trail Blazers score 4 points.
At the same time, Lillard on the outside slowly got rid of Lu Yao's restrictions and took two consecutive three-pointers through the pick-and-roll, both of which were successful!
In these three minutes, Aldridge and Lillard scored ten points in a row, helping the Trail Blazers recover a lot of points.
As for the Thunder, Lu Yao stopped participating in the offense after hitting the three-pointer, obviously conserving his energy to prepare for the second half.
The rest of the offense is all taken care of by Westbrook.
Naturally, Westbrook did not disappoint the Thunder fans present. Under the siege of the Blazers, he forced a two-pointer and two layups to help the Thunder avoid being overtaken by the Blazers.
It can be said that the rest of the game is completely a duel between Lillard Aldridge and Westbrook.
Lu Yao seemed to act as the prologue, serving as a foil for the three of them during this period.
But only those who know Lu Yao know that Lu Yao in the third quarter is the most terrifying existence.
How many teams were evenly matched with the Thunder before the third quarter, but before the third quarter, they were beaten by the Thunder, lost their ability to resist, and were led by a big score.
The reason for all this is because Lu Yao's performance in the third quarter was so amazing.
According to statistics, Lu Yao's scoring average in the third quarter was a terrifying 14.6 points, and his shooting percentage was as high as 80%!
14.6 points is the average points per game for most players in the league, but for Lu Yao, it has become his average points per game in a single quarter.
It was enough to prove how terrifying Lu Yao was in the third quarter.
As Lillard forced a three-pointer from outside and missed, the first half of the Thunder's home game against the Trail Blazers came to an end.
69:65, the Thunder entered the third quarter with a slight advantage of 4 points.
In the first half, Lu Yao was undoubtedly the most eye-catching player in the half. He made 13 of 16 shots, 7 of 8 three-pointers, and scored 33 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists.
But this is only Lu Yao's offensive data. The most eye-catching thing is Lu Yao's defensive data.
In just half of the game, Lu Yao scored 4 blocks and 4 steals. Such data is enough to mess up the opponent's offense.
As for the Trail Blazers, Lillard had 19 points and Aldridge had 14 points. Their combined scores were barely equal to Lu Yao.
At the beginning of the third quarter, Thunder's Donovan made substitution adjustments.
Westbrook was replaced, and Donovan left Lu Yao on the court to lead the team alone against the all-main Blazers.
This is undoubtedly a challenge to Lu Yao,
But Lu Yao was unhurried, even a little relaxed.
Next, the king of the third quarter is about to appear.
The ball was handed over to the Trail Blazers. Lillard received Aldridge's serve and slowly drove the ball toward the frontcourt.
Because they understand Lu Yao's power in the third quarter, the entire Blazers team is playing extremely steadily now, just to prevent Lu Yao from finding opportunities.
But for Lu Yao, who has a gold medal defensive talent and an iron wall, it has no effect at all.
For Lu Yao, the talent of Copper Wall and Sky Wall does not give Lu Yao a better chance to seize his opponent's mistakes.
What the iron wall gave Lu Yao was the ability to eat his opponents alive.
Just like now, Lillard had just passed halftime, and Lu Yao was stuck to Lillard's side like brown candy. Lillard tried to break through repeatedly to no avail and became panicked.
Lillard was guarded by Lu Yao and couldn't even get out of the logo.
Just as Lillard was dazed, Lu Yao snatched the ball from his hand and ran towards the frontcourt.
Before the entire Trail Blazers team could return to defense, Lu Yao had already broken through to the bottom of the basket and hit a folding dunk! It aroused cheers from the fans in the audience!
It was the third time in the half that Lillard was interrupted.
Lillard, who originally had a slight shadow on Lu Yao, now has a stronger shadow.
The entire Blazers team gasped in unison, because Lu Yao glanced at them all, as if looking at prey.
Sure enough, for the rest of the game, Lu Yao was like a hunter, hunting for the pioneers who were trapped in a trap.
Inside, Aldridge turned around and passed Adams, reached the bottom of the basket and raised his hand for a small throw.
Lu Yao, who could make up for the defense, came out at this moment and directly slapped Aldridge's ball away!
The sound of Lu Yao's hand slapping hard on the surface of the ball could be heard clearly even by spectators some distance away.
Even so, the ball was not directly destroyed by Lu Yao and went out of bounds, but was collected by Lillard.
Seeing that Aldridge still had a chance, Lillard decisively passed the ball back to Aldridge, allowing him to take another shot.
Aldridge threw another shot, and the height of the shot was so high that Aldridge personally believed that he would not be blocked.
But Lu Yao once again refreshed his imagination.
After all, Lu Yao has the template of peak Durant and the blessing of an iron wall. It is not impossible for him to block such a ball.
Lu Yao jumped up on the spot and reached out to touch the ball in the air.
Seeing this scene, the audience on the sidelines opened their mouths in shock. Lu Yao actually tried to block the ball.
Aldridge broke into a cold sweat, looked at Lu Yao taking off in disbelief, and thought to himself.
"This person must be a lunatic. How can such a ball be possible..."
But before he could finish what he said in his heart, a scene that shocked everyone happened immediately.
Lu Yao's fingers actually touched the ball that he thought was impossible to touch.
He followed the trend and the ball suddenly stopped spinning in the air. After a moment of stagnation, it fell from the air and fell right into Lu Yao's hands.
Before anyone could react, Lu Yao ran towards the frontcourt with the ball and dunked all the way!
The moment the ball was scored, the audience was still a little confused. After they calmed down, the audience suddenly burst into deafening cheers!
