It was the Warriors who started the offense in the fourth quarter.
Curry gave the ball to Green at the top of the arc and immediately ran away.
It’s not just Curry who’s running, but Thompson too.
The Splash Brothers started running at the same time, with Zhao Chen following Thompson, but Westbrook was thrown away by Curry.
Green quickly ran the ball 45 degrees out of Curry's position. Curry caught the ball and immediately shot a three-pointer!
Curry's shot is quick.
"Uh-huh!"
95 to 98.
Go-ahead score.
The Warriors finally took the lead at home.
Fans at Oracle Center were cheering.
They had waited too long for this moment.
The Thunder's offense was too fierce today, which put a lot of pressure on them.
Now that they have taken the lead, they feel that everything will return to the home rhythm.
"The Warriors took the lead. The Thunder did a great job without Durant. They deserve respect." Zhang Weiping said.
Hearing this kind of words can also mean that Director Zhang has subconsciously not optimistic about the Thunder winning the game.
A weak team taking the lead is different from a strong team taking the lead.
A weak team's lead generally feels unreliable and can easily be overturned, while a strong team's lead, even if it is only a few points, is considered very stable.
Brooks on the sidelines was very irritable. The Thunder still had too few cards to play.
Zhao Chen was caught in a trap in the second and third quarters, which made the Thunder too passive. Can Zhao Chen get out of the predicament and help the team more?
Brooks doesn't know.
On the field.
Zhao Chen motioned for Westbrook to come over and he would try to catch the ball to see if the Warriors could double attack.
Westbrook understood Zhao Chen's intention and quickly gave up the point guard position to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen received the serve and dribbled.
Curry and Thompson flanked Zhao Chen in the frontcourt.
If he catches the ball in the frontcourt, the space is very narrow and it is difficult for Zhao Chen to make moves, but in the backcourt, Zhao Chen is not afraid of flanking.
Zhao Chen himself took a step back and then burst into acceleration. With a change of pace, he overcame the double attack between Curry and Thompson.
The Warriors' defense was too far back. After Zhao Chen rushed through half court, because Curry and Thompson were behind Zhao Chen, there were no players to guard Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen passed halftime and was still one meter away from the top of the three-point arc.
Emergency stop!
A three-pointer!
This is a super long three-pointer.
The vote was forceful and unreasonable.
"Shua!!"
Zhao's flying knife! !
Knife hit! !
98 versus 98.
The fans at Oracle Center who were still cheering fell silent for an instant.
"Fuck, is this the legendary away silencer?"
"Without clearing the ball, he broke the double attack and shot a long three-pointer by himself. It's unreasonable!"
"Is this going to teach Curry and Thompson a lesson?"
Thunder fans online were tapping their keyboards frantically.
Players on the Thunder bench also jumped up and waved towels.
The Warriors have been putting pressure on the Thunder and chasing points. Until the overtake just now, the pressure on the Thunder was very high.
They don't know how to attack.
At this time, Zhao Chen stood up.
Westbrook and Robertson came over to high-five Zhao Chen to celebrate!
Looking at Zhao Chen, Robertson never thought that one day when Westbrook was present, he would be suppressed by this guy and willing to be the second child.
Zhao Chen has gradually grown from a role player to the absolute core of the current team! !
Even if Durant comes back, Robertson feels that Zhao Chen's rise is unstoppable and he will be the Thunder's third giant.
Zhao Chen did not celebrate, but called on his teammates to increase their defensive intensity and not let the Warriors play so easily.
Warriors attack.
Zhao Chen comes to focus on Curry, Robertson focuses on Thompson, and Westbrook focuses on Barnes.
While the Warriors continue to change their tactics, the Thunder also continue to change their tactics.
Curry tried to change directions one-on-one to Zhao Chen, but failed. Zhao Chen kept pestering Curry.
In the process of pestering Curry, Zhao Chen also kept showing off his stealing skills.
Finally, the moment Curry released the ball.
"Snapped!"
Zhao Chen rushed out and intercepted the ball.
Zhao Chen flew to save the ball and returned it to Westbrook.
Westbrook protects the ball firmly.
"Well done, I stole the ball. Zhao Chen's entanglement had an effect." Zhang Weiping shouted.
Westbrook did not dribble by himself, but chose to wait for Zhao Chen to come over and catch the ball.
Zhao Chen won Westbrook's recognition with his efforts.
Zhao Chen dribbled the ball past half court.
Curry and Thompson's double attacks do not have the same frequency.
Facing Curry's defensive change, Zhao Chen passed by in one step.
Curry's defense is his weak link, and he cannot guard against the current Zhao Chen.
Before Thompson could catch up to help defend, Zhao Chen quickly adjusted his rhythm and made another emergency stop jumper from three-point range!
With his feet slightly apart, he pulled out the basketball with his right hand, and the basketball drew a wonderful arc.
Just unreasonable!
Just hit it!
"Uh-huh!!!"
101 to 98.
Consecutive three-point hits!
Oracle Center is quiet again.
They didn't know how to boo.
This kind of extraordinary three-point shot can be done with just a raised hand. It looks so scary.
Zhao Chen raised three fingers and shook them in celebration.
It feels great to teach Curry and Thompson three-point lessons.
Green shouted at Curry: "Stephen, focus on guarding his three-pointers. I'm on the inside, don't be afraid of him breaking through."
"OK!" Curry chewed his braces and nodded.
Curry couldn't keep up with the frequency of Zhao Chen's attacks, and Zhao Chen attacked him too resolutely.
Warriors attack.
The Thunder's defense adjusted very promptly.
Neither Zhao Chen nor Robertson allowed the Splash brothers to easily get rid of them. Even if there was a screen, the Thunder's defense was very resolute in changing the defense, just not allowing Splash to take a three-pointer.
In the end, Curry gave the ball to Iguodala, who asked Iguodala to sit in the low post and beat Ibaka.
Iguodala still took the initiative after playing continuously.
However, Ibaka did not completely lose his position. Iguodala was not able to get in. Iguodala gave the ball to Barnes who cut in through air.
Westbrook has not lost his position, but the height difference is a bit big.
Barnes caught the ball and took off, turning sideways and making a one-handed smash.
101 to 100.
Barnes yelled at Westbrook, then turned back to the camera and continued his rant.
He felt it was humiliating that the Thunder sent Westbrook to guard him.
Barnes' rant wasn't over yet.
Zhao Chen quickly went over to serve the baseline ball, and Westbrook turned around and rushed forward.
Direct long pass like a quarterback!
The Warriors' defense was instantly penetrated. Westbrook received Zhao Chen's pass at halftime and rushed straight away!
Although Iguodala was retreating, when Westbrook rushed up, Iguodala couldn't guard him.
Iguodala stood in front of the three-second zone and wanted to cause an offensive foul. Westbrook changed his direction with a European step and bypassed Iguodala's one-handed layup and succeeded! !
103 to 100.
Zhao Chen and Westbrook completed the connection! !
"Don't be in a daze, go back quickly, Harris!" Warriors head coach Mark Jackson yelled at Barnes, who had just turned around.
What are you roaring about? Hurry up and defend. You don’t know how fast your opponent is, right?
