"Guard their three-pointers and double-team Stephen!"
This is the defensive tactic deployed by Brooks at critical moments. The most important thing for the Thunder now is to defend three-pointers.
18 seconds of time.
Curry dribbled the ball quickly across half court.
Zhao Chen and Durant were not polite, they just waited for Curry to pass halftime and started to attack from a flank.
Curry immediately threw the ball to Barnes at the free throw line.
Barnes is as open as Durant. Although he has a mid-range shot, Barnes does not dare to shoot at this time.
This is the difference between ordinary players and superstars!
Thompson was followed by Westbrook and had no chance. Curry was using the cover of Bogut and Green to counterattack!
Adams, Zhao Chen, and Durant all focused on chasing Curry, but Curry still found opportunities to take action.
Zhao Chen was blocked by Bogut, and Durant was blocked by Green. Facing Adams' defense, Curry quickly took action after receiving the pass from Barnes! ! !
Although Adams pounced, he kept his strength. He was worried that Curry would cause a three-point foul.
Curry took the initiative to hit Adams and fell to the ground. The referee did not blow the whistle. He lost his balance on this ball! !
The fans at the scene let out a cry of exclamation.
The ball looks very hanging, but!
"knock!"
"Uh-huh!"
The basketball bounces into the frame after hitting the board!
126 to 127
8 seconds.
Zhao Chen's eyes widened.
Did you say you won't play key balls?
Is it possible that Curry also gets a status bonus when playing against the Thunder?
This ball was almost blocked, and Curry also lost his shooting rhythm, but the ball was scored.
"pause!"
The momentum at Oracle Center is boiling again!
"Stephen!!! Curry!!!" DJ's crazy shout brought cheers from the scene.
Curry fell to the ground and was pulled up by Bogut and Green.
Curry saved the Warriors. At the most critical moment, he hit a crucial three-pointer.
"Stephen Curry, three-pointer from Stephen Curry, this shot was very lucky, it hit the board and went into the frame!"
"The Warriors went ahead and the pressure was on the Thunder."
The two CCTV commentators felt very heavy, the situation was not good for the Thunder.
On the court, the Warriors players were celebrating wildly.
Brooks calmly arranged: "Zhao, you handle the last attack, no pick-and-roll, just singles!"
Durant had just made a key shot, but Brooks chose to trust Zhao Chen more.
In the playoffs along the way, Zhao Chen is more worthy of Brooks' trust.
Zhao Chen also felt the pressure.
In this game, his condition was not as good as Durant's, but he still controlled the ball in the final attack.
Durant made no excuses. He knew that Zhao Chen was the most suitable player. If Zhao Chen had a chance, he would attack.
If Zhao Chen doesn't have a chance, he will pass the ball out. After working with Zhao Chen for so long, Durant also trusts Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead.
This year's Warriors are the year before they are about to enter their peak period, and their strength is not far behind the championship level.
Zhao Chen gained a lot from the battle with the Warriors.
This is a different matchup from the Grizzlies and Rockets.
Thunder players did not question Brooks' decision.
Durant was injured, but Zhao Chen never showed mercy at critical moments. They were willing to trust Zhao Chen.
Until now, no one regards Zhao Chen as just a rookie.
The playoffs are a shining stage for super giants, and Zhao Chen shines enough here.
Many people still remember that Zhao Chen single-handedly defeated the Warriors in G3, which gave the Thunder a big lead!
In the round just now, Zhao Chen also provided a key assist to Durant!
"Zhao, come on!" Durant also said.
There are only 8 seconds left. If the last attack can be scored, the Thunder will have the absolute initiative!
If they fail to score, everything will start again, and the Thunder will face the cruel Tianwangshan.
After the pause ends.
The cameras were all focused on Zhao Chen and Durant.
Everyone wants to see who will make the final attack.
Zhao Chen has a lot of pressure and responsibilities, but he is never afraid!
...........
"Dear viewers, there are only 8 seconds left in G4 of the NBA Western Conference Finals. The Warriors are leading by 1 point. Let's see if the Thunder can complete the final victory?"
"Let's see who the Thunder will take action at the last minute?"
"Durant is the regular season MVP and the scoring champion. If he were on other teams, he would be the undisputed first choice. But the Thunder are different. The Thunder have Zhao Chen. In the last game, Zhao Chen just scored He scored a triple-double with 68 points, and he is also the player with the most buzzer beaters this season."
"Yes, it depends on how Brooks weighs it."
Zhang Weiping and Yu Jia both held their breaths. The last eight seconds passed too long.
On the sidelines, the referee gave the ball to Ibaka who was standing on the sideline.
Green continued to interfere with Ibaka's sight.
The four Thunder players gathered at the free throw line, waiting for the whistle to start tactical movement.
Zhao Chen was tightly entangled by Thompson, and some small physical contact would not be blown at the last moment.
Beep!
The referee's whistle started to count down at the same time, and Ibaka promptly sent the ball to Zhao Chen who ran out with the help of a screen.
Zhao Chen gets the ball, and everyone in the Thunder opens up space!
The Warriors also defended alone and did not attack rashly. Zhao Chen's passing was just as sharp.
Thompson spread his hands and lowered his center of gravity.
Zhao Chen immediately released the ball and started dribbling with his hips!
"boom!"
"boom!"
The rhythm changes without being messy.
Thompson was very familiar with Zhao Chen's moves, and he kept following Zhao Chen's rhythm.
In 5 seconds, Zhao Chen changed direction to the right, as if he was going to break through on the right.
Thompson followed.
In 3 seconds, Zhao Chen's breakthrough was a fake move. He pulled the ball back forcefully and stepped back!
In 2 seconds, Zhao Chen used a huge step back to widen the distance between him and Thompson!
In 1 second, Zhao Chen successfully completed the shot!
The basketball flew over Thompson's head, and time expired while it was in the air.
The backboard lights lit up and the referee raised the three-point gesture!
The fans at Oracle Center didn't even dare to breathe! !
Time becomes very slow at this moment!
finally!
"boom!"
"Uh-huh!"
The basketball hit the inside edge of the basket and into the net!
129 to 127.
Killer!
Another kill!
Eight seconds ago, Oracle Center was in heaven. At this moment, the fans here felt that this place was hell! !
Zhao Chen raised his hands high, and the thunderbolts were running towards him! !
"Kill!"
“Dude, you did it!!”
"You hit the kill again!!"
Westbrook, Durant, Ibaka and others continued to slap various parts of Zhao Chen's body.
After Zhao Chen was slapped by his teammates for a while, he shouted and jumped towards the locker room!
Everyone can see Zhao Chen’s excitement! ! !
Curry, Thompson, and Green all looked at the big score on the court in disbelief.
With a two-point difference, the series score was rewritten to 1-3.
The Warriors are in danger! ! !
