I'm really not a 3D player

Chapter 154
After returning from the timeout, the Thunder made substitution adjustments, replacing Maynor and Collison with Westbrook and Jeff Green.

The Warriors made no substitution adjustments and remained with the original team in the second quarter.

The game continued. Westbrook dribbled the ball quickly and did not stop after reaching the top of the arc. He quickly made a Samgold, shook Curry away and broke into the penalty area.

The tactics arranged by the Thunder during the timeout are very simple. Whoever faces Curry will play singles. It is useless even if the Warriors switch defenses quickly.

Curry failed to intercept Westbrook and instead chose to chase back, he ran in the direction of Jeff Green.

At this time, Sun Yi had already rushed back to the penalty area to help defend, which required a Warriors player to come to make up the defense. This task could only be completed by primary school students.

At the same time, the big tortoise who dribbled and broke through saw that there were defensive players in the penalty area, but there was no head iron, so he stopped and jumped up to shoot.

Sun Yi, who was standing at the front of the penalty area, came quickly and stretched his arms to interfere.

As luck would have it, the basketball hit the front of the basket, bounced and fell into the net.

32: 30!

The Warriors quickly served the baseline ball, and Curry dribbled the ball quickly and advanced to the top of the arc to organize the offense.

Sun Yi, who was standing in the right corner, suddenly started. After squeezing Jeff Green away, he cut into the basket along the baseline.

Jeff Green was a little confused. He didn't expect that he would be easily squeezed away. This seems very unscientific!
On the other side, Curry, who was controlling the ball at the top of the arc, had quick eyesight and quick hands, throwing the ball to the basket.

Sun Yi rushed to the basket, soared into the air, grabbed the basketball in the air with one hand, and dunked it vigorously into the basket.

Looking back, the Thunder attacked.

Westbrook singled Curry again, feeling that there was no need to use fancy passing skills, and used his body to crush very simply.

Seeing the Thunder targeting him again, Curry decided to give it a go.

Clay figurines are full of anger, elementary school students should use practical actions to tell their opponents that they are not easy to mess with.

When he was knocked away by the giant turtle, Curry quickly reached out for the ball.

Westbrook was a little negligent and did not consider that the ball had been exposed and was taken away by Curry.

After stabbing the basketball away, Curry immediately dived for the ball, got the basketball on the floor, and quickly passed it out.

Lagabell, who was on the fast break, received the pass, rushed to the basket, and ended the offense with a civilian layup.

"Good shot! Curry used his enthusiasm to complete the steal and help the team play a fast break. This is equivalent to 4 points inside and outside. The Thunder team is a little bit outweighed." Director Zhang commented.

Seeing that the score will be opened, Durant must stand up and score, after all, he is the team's scoring leader.

In this Thunder attack, Westbrook did not mess around and passed the ball to Durant.

After Durant received the ball, he did not play directly in isolation, but called a pick-and-roll.

Westbrook quickly ran over to coordinate the pick-and-roll.

The Warriors anticipated what the Thunder would do and quickly switched defenses in advance to hide Curry's defensive weakness.

Durant looked at Sun Yi in front of him and had a headache. Seeing that the attack time was running out, he could only play singles.

He quickly made a crossover, seeing that he didn't shake off Sun Yi, he could only step back to open the distance, and took off to shoot.

Sun Yi immediately pounced on him, stretching out his arms to block his eyes to interfere.

Durant didn't expect Sun Yi to defend so well, so he could only adjust the shooting arc, and his shooting percentage was affected accordingly.

Clang!
The basketball bounced out of the hoop and missed!
Under the basket, Tolliver relied on his weight to get stuck in a favorable position, grabbed a backcourt rebound, and found Curry for the first time to pass.

Curry received the pass, quickly advanced to the frontcourt, and launched a defensive counterattack.

Westbrook immediately stepped forward to intercept, delaying the pupil's advancement.

Seeing this situation, Curry didn't stick the ball, and immediately passed the ball to the right.

Lagabel, who followed up, caught the pass, dribbled it, and passed the ball out again.

Sun Yi, who came from behind, took the lead and rushed into the penalty area after receiving the ball. He jumped into the air, stretched his body in the air, and made a tomahawk chop gesture.

At the same time, Durant quickly rushed back to the penalty area, followed by jumping, stretching his arms to shoot the basketball.

The fans in the audience were extremely excited, as if they had already seen the ending of Durant's hat-trick on Sun Yi.

However, this was not the case. The moment Durant's right hand was about to touch the basketball, Sun Yi suddenly pulled the ball back, used the strength of his waist and abdomen to make an extreme pull, and scored the ball with a backhand layup.

On the Warriors bench, Morrow and others happily waved towels.

"Unbelievable! Sun's ability to stay in the air and his physical coordination are so good, this goal can definitely be selected as the top five goals of the day." Barkley praised.

"This pull shot is indeed very exciting. Sun has brought us too many surprises. He is simply too versatile." Kenny Smith said.

On the field, when Sun Yi returned to defense, he passed by Durant and said, "Kevin, come on, you almost blocked me."

Durant clenched his fists and looked at Sun Yi's leaving back without making any response.

As a keyboard warrior, he often sparred with fans on the Internet, and he was already immune to trash talk.

On the court, I have to speak with my strength, so I decided to fight back.

In this attack, Durant used the pick-and-roll to match Sun Yi in a dislocation.

Just when he was about to break through, he almost broke his guard when he heard Sun Yi's trash talk.

"Kevin, why are you dancing ballet on the spot? It's not suitable for you as a girl."

Sun Yi talked trash and kept messing with Durant's mentality. When he saw Durant was stunned for a moment, he immediately started to cut the ball.

At this moment, Durant came back to his senses, immediately slammed the basketball and quickly changed hands, avoiding Sun Yi's sneak attack.

"It was so dangerous. I was almost intercepted by that nasty guy. No, I have to end the attack as soon as possible."

After Durant made his plan, he immediately made a change of direction in front of his body, then stepped back to the right, pulled up the distance and threw the basketball in his hand.

Swish!
Hollow into the network!

38: 32!

There was thunderous applause in the auditorium, and cheers and shouts resounded throughout the arena.

Thunder fans saw the hope of victory and believed that Durant could turn the tide and lead the team to victory.

In the next round, the Warriors missed an outside shot and failed to continue their firepower.

The Thunder protected the backcourt rebounds and launched a defensive counterattack. Westbrook rushed into the penalty area and scored a layup with difficulty against Sun Yi's defense.

In the next few rounds, the shooting percentages of both sides dropped, and the game once again fell into an anxious state.

The second quarter lasted about 5 minutes, and Nelson replaced the main players one after another.

The Thunder also replaced Harden with Seflosa.

Harden played more than 5 minutes and scored 2 points, 1 assist and 2 turnovers, and his defense was not in shape.

It can be said that his performance was very unsatisfactory.

Harden returned to the bench depressed, took the towel from the staff, and covered his head.

He couldn't understand why when they were in the NCAA, Sun Yi and Curry combined could tie him. After coming to the NBA, their strength improved by leaps and bounds, and they performed brilliantly and firmly occupied the starting position. But he could only play as the sixth man and get mediocre data.

"Is the gap between me and them getting bigger and bigger without knowing it?" Harden fell into self-doubt.

On the field, the Thunder attacked, and Westbrook hit a "zombie jumper", stabilizing the situation.

Looking back, the Thunder increased their defensive intensity and did not give the Warriors an opportunity for open three-pointers.

Curry bypassed Sun Yi's screen and directly shot a three-pointer.

Jeff Green, who was switching defense, knew that Curry would make such a move, and immediately rushed to interfere.

"when!"

The basketball bounced out of the frame.

Under the basket, Randolph grabbed the offensive rebound. Seeing Thunder players surrounding him, he immediately passed the ball out.

Outside the three-point line on the right, Ellis received the pass and made a three-pointer without hesitation, but still missed.

Durant rushed back to the penalty area to grab the rebound. Instead of passing the ball, he dribbled toward the frontcourt.

When he came beyond the three-point line, he pulled up without warning and threw the basketball in his hand.

This season, Durant's three-point shooting rate reached 36.5%, and he averaged 1.6 three-pointers per game, which is not bad.

The ball was lucky, and it bounced into the basket after hitting the board.

The Thunder chased for 5 points in a row and narrowed the point difference to only 3 points.

It was the Warriors' turn to attack, and Sun Yi stepped forward to provide Ellis with an off-ball screen.

With the help of a screen, Ellis got rid of Sefolosha's defense and cut towards the penalty area.

Seeing this, Curry, who was in possession of the ball, immediately passed the ball.

Xiao Gongju received the pass, rushed to the basket, pulled the bar to avoid Kostic's interference, and scored a layup, stabilizing the situation on the court.

In the following games, Durant took on the important task of scoring. Relying on his strong personal ability, he scored consecutive singles and kept chasing the score.

The Warriors relied on passing and cutting to continuously attack the basket and score, maintaining a weak lead.

The Thunder's inside line is even worse than that of the Warriors. They originally wanted to select an inside player in the summer, but they only received the No. [-] pick. There were no good inside players to choose from in the draft market, so they could only choose Harden, who has great potential.

It can be said that as long as the Thunder strengthen the inside, then they will be a championship team.

Back on the court, as Westbrook missed a long three-pointer, the first half of the game ended here.

At this time, the score on the big screen was 56 to 50, and the Warriors led by 6 points entering the second half.

Not long after, the short 15-minute intermission ended and the second half began.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Thunder took the lead.

Facing Maggette's defense, Durant made a pull-up jumper but failed to hit.

The Warriors protected the backcourt rebounds and launched a defensive counterattack.

After Sun Yi received the pass, he made a long pass without any delay.

Xiao Gongju, who was on the fast break, received the pass, did not break into the penalty area, and directly chased and shot a three-pointer.

Those two rookies dared to make a few random shots. As the boss of the team, he should take the lead.

Fans in front of the TV are no strangers to the Warriors' style of play.

The Thunder players, who played against the Warriors for the first time, were a little surprised.

They only took a total of 15 three-pointers in each game, and they would definitely not try this unorthodox chasing three-pointer.

The basketball flying in the air draws a perfect arc.

Swish!
Hollow into the network!

On the Thunder bench, head coach Brooks was very confused about the Warriors' style of play and felt that this style of play was too unreasonable.

Instead of betting on three-pointers when you have a stable two-pointer, this runs counter to the current basketball philosophy.

Just when Brooks was puzzled, the situation on the court changed suddenly.

The Thunder made a passing error, and Sun Yi suddenly came out to complete the steal. He quickly came to the three-point line, stopped and took off to shoot.

Although his three-point attribute is only 55 points, but with the addition of the shooting package and external factors such as openings, the shooting rate is not bad.

"Shh!"

The basketball is hollow into the net and hits steadily!
62: 50!

They were beaten 6-0 at the beginning of the second half, causing the Thunder players to panic.

At the critical moment, Durant stood up and chased the score through precise mid-range jumpers.

But the good times didn't last long. The Warriors stepped up their defense against Durant and could only let Westbrook score.

The Turtles, who had a good start, played a little abnormally in the second half of the game. They frequently missed mid- and long-range jumpers, and the effect of breaking into the penalty area was equally bad. They were either cut or blocked. It was a proper undercover performance.

The Warriors took advantage of this opportunity to quickly play a defensive counterattack. As long as an opportunity arises, they will resolutely shoot and shoot. The shooting percentage is not bad, further increasing the score.

At the end of the third quarter, the Warriors led by 18 points and entered the fourth quarter.

After the intermission, the fourth quarter begins.

As soon as he came up, Curry suddenly used cold arrows from the outside and hit long-range three-pointers, maintaining a fiery touch.

It is very difficult for the Thunder to slowly recover the score with two-pointers.

So, they can only put all their eggs in one basket and try to shoot three-pointers from the outside.

But the Thunder have no sharpshooters, and only Durant and Harden are the only ones who have the ability to shoot three-pointers. Moreover, the giant tortoise adds chaos from time to time, so the shooting rate can be imagined, very poor.

The Warriors seized the opportunity and further widened the point difference.

When the fourth quarter played for about 4 minutes, the Thunder gave up the game and replaced the main players.

Seeing this situation, Nelson immediately replaced the main players.

January and February are a period of high incidence of injuries, and he doesn't want to see a team that is on track suddenly fall apart.

After substitutions and adjustments, the game entered garbage time. The process went very smoothly and it came to an end not long after.

With the piercing beep, the game came to an end.

In the end, the Warriors defeated the Thunder 121-103 and won two consecutive games.

In terms of statistics, 6 Warriors scored in double figures.

The best player of the game was won by Sun Yi.

在上场的36分钟内，砍下了23分8篮板8助攻2抢断2盖帽的全面数据。

If it weren't for the Thunder's inability to surrender early, Sun Yi would still be able to post a triple-double.

库里表现同样可圈可点，三分球9投5中，获得了19分5助攻2抢断的全面数据。

Ellis scored a game-high 27 points, plus 2 assists.

雷吉-威廉姆斯得到13分2篮板；托利弗拿到11分5篮板；兰多夫获得10分11篮板的两双数据。

For the Thunder, the best player is Durant.

在上场的38分钟内，砍下了26分6篮板3助攻1抢断的全面数据。

Westbrook transformed into the "Iron Man", shooting only 38% from the field and scoring 21 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists.

If it weren't for the "undercover" performance of the Big Turtle, the Warriors wouldn't have won so easily.

Harden's performance was mediocre, with 10 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists.

After the game, Sun Yi and Curry stepped forward to comfort Harden and told him not to worry. As long as it is gold, there will always be a chance to shine.

Harden didn't buy into what Sun Yi said about chicken soup for the soul, and he very much hoped that he could get ahead as soon as possible.

After bidding farewell to Harden, Sun Yi and Curry walked toward the tunnel together and returned to the locker room to join the team.
