After hearing the coach’s call.
Curry and Thompson both looked at each other and nodded.
Zhao Chen's state tonight is different from that in G2. It looks like he is about to explode.
Warriors attack.
Curry dribbles to the frontcourt.
In this round, Curry had no choice to continue to play inside.
At Curry's call, David Lee and Bogut put up covers at the same time.
Adams, Robertson, and Westbrook are all crowded together.
Curry jumped among the crowd, changing the rhythm.
Curry burst in and met Durant's defense in the three-second area on the left. Curry chose to hit the board with a high throw.
The basketball bounces off the high board and into the frame.
Curry's soft touch was on full display at this moment.
10 to 6.
This high throw was very exciting, and the fans at the scene kept cheering.
Curry's playing is very enjoyable to watch, he is also very cute, and the home fans all like him.
Apart from his physical fear of confrontation, Curry really doesn't have many shortcomings. Curry has many finishing methods.
Seeing Curry's state, Zhao Chen himself shook his head helplessly.
Curry already has the ability to explode at one point.
If I remember correctly, next season will be his performance season.
Thunder offense.
Westbrook pushed forward with a relaxed pace.
In the frontcourt, Westbrook passed Curry with a scissor step and then came to the free throw line.
No one was guarding, Westbrook made a zombie jumper.
The basketball draws a low arc.
"frame!"
The basketball hit the front of the basket and popped out, and Westbrook got the long backboard himself.
Westbrook always has some instinct for rebounding.
Although there was still a small gap, Westbrook stopped shooting and gave the ball to Zhao Chen on the right.
Zhao Chen caught the ball at a 45-degree position and directly called his teammates to continue pulling away.
But there was no space this time, and the Warriors' double attack was very crisp.
It was Barnes who defended Zhao Chen, and Thompson came over to attack.
Zhao Chen was surrounded, and Zhao Chen quickly found someone.
This time Zhao Chen returned the cut to Westbrook.
Westbrook rushed in and tried to hit a tomahawk dunk through Bogut! !
"frame!"
"boom!"
"Beep!!"
Westbrook missed the dunk. Although he was about to commit a foul, he was pushed to the ground by Bogut! !
The price is a bit high.
"Fake." Zhao Chen rushed over to see Westbrook's situation.
Adams and Robertson blocked Zhao Chen in time, and Adams and Bogut started to fight.
Bogut yelled at Westbrook who fell to the ground: "Dunk? I'm going to knock you over like this!"
Zhao Chen was not impulsive, but turned around to find the referee: "Can such an action appear on the court?"
The referee heard what Zhao Chen said and gave Bogut a first-level flagrant foul.
The two sides once again broke into a verbal war! ! !
The emotions between the two teams were a little heated. Westbrook stood up after resting on the ground for a while. He was fine.
The scene was filled with boos!
"Are you okay?" Zhao Chen asked Westbrook.
"It's okay." Westbrook said nonchalantly.
"That guy is very dirty, you don't have to hit him like this." Zhao Chen advised.
If Westbrook didn't dunk this ball, Bogut wouldn't be so cruel.
"How can you be the only one to contribute?" Westbrook grinned.
Zhao Chen knew that this was Westbrook's style, and no one could persuade him.
A first-level flagrant foul is second only to a second-level flagrant foul.
Second-level malice will be expelled, and additional penalties may be imposed after the game, but the referee is not so harsh.
Two free throws and one throw.
Westbrook made one of two free throws.
11 to 6.
Still the Thunder have the ball.
Robertson served the ball to Zhao Chen.
The defense Zhao Chen faced was Thompson, and Thompson was a little relaxed.
Zhao Chen took advantage of the flanking attack before he could come up, and immediately shot a super long three-pointer one step outside the three-point line without dribbling.
Thompson's rhythm slowed down a beat, and the basketball flew over his head.
"Uh-huh!"
14 to 6.
Zhao Chen raised the knife and lowered it for three points.
"pause!!"
This three-pointer also stopped Mark Jackson.
The sound at the scene was also completely silent.
Zhao Chen was so terrible today, his hands felt so hot.
The shooting percentage at the beginning was 100%, and there were no misses.
As soon as the players came off the court, Mark Jackson got angry with all the Warriors. Today he was very dissatisfied with the players' defense.
Thompson was panting and sweating. It was obvious that the game had just begun, but he felt a little tired.
Defending Zhao Chen is a huge pressure.
"Hey, today Zhao's touch has obviously adjusted back. The Warriors did not make sufficient plans and they were robbed of the start." Barkley said.
"The Thunder had a perfect start. Durant didn't take a single shot on the court, and even made a few passes. The Thunder gained an advantage. The Thunder finally played the tactics they wanted." Kenny Smith said.
"The Warriors made substitutions. Iguodala and Green came on, and Thompson and Bogut were replaced," Barkley said.
"The Thunder still have the same team, let's see how the Warriors defend next," Smith said.
.........
"Can you guard it? If you can't guard it, come down!" Mark Jackson emphasized to everyone again.
The overall state of the Warriors seemed a bit poor today. After returning to their home court, they were not as excited.
Pause back.
Curry and Green's pick-and-roll.
After the pick-and-roll, Curry distributed the ball to Green down the middle.
Green is still the point where the Thunder let him down.
Green took the ball and rushed straight away, causing Robertson to commit a blocking foul.
Robertson originally had an advantage in guarding small men, but it was not so easy to guard big men.
Brooks also replaced Robertson with Perkins and used the ton to win.
Green made the first free throw but missed the second, and the rebound was protected by Durant.
Durant is now calmly playing support role, and the team is developing in a good direction, which is what he hopes to see.
Westbrook brought the ball across half court and continued to give it to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen encountered a double attack from outside the three-point line. After continuous passing, he then made a three-pointer!
Didn't get in this time.
After this round, the Warriors also launched a counterattack at home.
Zhao Chen started passing the ball after missing two consecutive shots.
........
After playing for a few minutes, the Warriors gradually closed the score.
"KD really had a problem. He tried two shots and missed, so he scored 1 point on free throws." Barkley said.
"Yeah, his shooting motion is a little awkward," Smith said.
Durant didn't hide for long, and it was soon discovered that he was fighting with injuries.
The Thunder's overall feel was average. The Warriors, playing at home, managed to tie the score at 24-24 with 3 minutes and 22 seconds left in the first quarter.
Brooks replaced Durant and Westbrook and asked Zhao Chen to continue playing.
Zhao Chen hadn't attacked for a while, so he took the opportunity to take a breath.
