I'm really not a 3D player

Chapter 241 First win of the playoffs

The intermission is over and the second quarter begins.

The Thunder's lineup in the second quarter was: Harden, Seflosa, Durant, Ibaka, and Muhammad.

Although Durant's physical strength is average, he can play about 40 minutes per game.

Moreover, the situation on the court is not good for the Thunder. It is impossible for head coach Brooks to leave Durant on the bench to rest. Anyway, it is right to use it to death.

The lineup the Warriors sent in the second quarter was: Bledsoe, Moreau, Sun Yi, Battier, and Arab League.

The second quarter started with the Thunder attacking first.

Harden dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and when he saw that Durant did not reach out for the ball and signaled him to play it himself, he was very excited.

This is his first show in the playoffs, and he also wants to perform like Sun Yi and Curry.

Within a few minutes of his appearance in the first quarter, he didn't have the ball. He was divided between his eldest brother and his second brother. He just came up to be a tool for controlling the ball.

Now the opportunity has come, and Harden has to seize it.

As a result, Harden continued his crossover and stepped back, then jumped out of the three-point line and shot.

Bledsoe's center of gravity was shaken, and he couldn't rush to interfere immediately.

Swish!
Hollow into the network!

25: 27!

The Warriors served quickly, and Sun Yi quickly advanced after receiving the ball.

Sevlosa immediately stepped forward to intercept, delaying Sun Yi's advancement.

Seeing Sefoloza coming up to meet him, Sun Yi dribbled behind his back and changed direction, speeding up and rushing past Sefoloza.

Durant, who was retreating, immediately ran forward to make up the defense.

As Durant stepped forward to defend, the Thunder's defense was torn open, allowing the Warriors to seize the opportunity.

Sun Yi quickly passed the ball to the right outside the three-point line.

Battier received the pass and immediately took off to shoot.

"Shh!"

The basketball crashed into the net, piercing the heart with an arrow!
The Warriors responded with a three-pointer!

Not to be outdone, the Thunder quickly returned the favor.

With the help of his teammates' pick-and-roll, Harden broke through to the free throw line, hit a mid-range jumper, and scored 2 points.

The Warriors immediately served up a fast break.

Morrow's body-chasing three-pointer was unfortunately missed.

The Thunder launched a counterattack, and Durant made a long pass to find Harden who was on the fast break.

Harden received the pass, entered the penalty area from the right, swayed Bledsoe with a European step, and threw the ball to the basket.

At this moment, Sun Yi rushed back to the basket from the middle, jumped up, reached the highest point in an instant, stretched out his arms and grabbed the rising basketball.

The fans in the audience gasped when they saw this scene.

You can jump so high!
The Warriors' bench also became excited, waving towels to cheer Sun Yi.

On the field, after Sun Yi landed, he immediately threw the ball to the frontcourt.

Ah Lian, who had just reached the midline, received the pass and immediately dribbled toward the basket.

Facing the unguarded Thunder team's penalty area, Ah Lian made a powerful dunk with both hands.

This attack and defense completely broke the morale of the Warriors.

In the next round, the Warriors successfully defended against the Thunder's offense by virtue of their active defense.

Sun Yi dribbled to the frontcourt, signaled his teammates to open up space, and then made a forward change of direction and rushed into the three-point line.

Sevlosa immediately moved sideways to block the ball and stuck to Sun Yi's side.

Sun Yi, who broke through with the dribble, took three steps directly with the ball in his arms, easily knocked away Seflosa and hit a jump basket.

At the same time, the referee blew the whistle and sentenced Sevlosa for a blocking foul, and Sun Yi received an additional penalty.

On the Thunder bench, head coach Brooks saw that the Warriors were on the rise, so he immediately requested a timeout and called the players back to the bench for adjustments.

Not long after, the timeout ended and the game continued.

The Thunder made substitution adjustments and replaced Westbrook, Ibaka and Perkins.

The Warriors also made substitution adjustments, replacing Mr. Tony.

After substitutions and adjustments, Sun Yi stood on the free throw line, received the referee's pass, and made a steady hit to add a penalty.

The ball was transferred and the Thunder made a baseline kick.

Westbrook dribbled the ball quickly and came to the top of the arc to organize the offense.

Perkins ran up and set an off-ball screen for Durant.

Durant bypassed the screen and received the pass, facing the UAE's defense, and hit a pull-up jumper.

After the ball was hit, the Thunder temporarily stabilized the situation on the field.

When it was the Warriors' turn to attack, Sun Yi dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, beckoned to Ah Lian, and asked for a pick-and-roll.

After the pick-and-roll was ready, Sun Yi bypassed the screen to attract the Thunder to double-team, and then hit the ball to the UAE who cut inside.

Ah, who was running, connected to the pass, took three steps directly, came to the basket and easily put the ball into the basket.

Looking back, Westbrook forced the basket, causing a foul on the Arab League thugs, and got two free throws.

Under the interference of the sound waves from the fans, Westbrook made two free throws and scored 1 point.

In the next few rounds, the two sides fought back and forth, but no one took advantage, and the score also failed to open up.

When the second quarter played about 6 minutes, Nelson replaced the long-rested David Lee and Chandler.

After the substitutions and adjustments, the Warriors adjusted their offense, using Sun Yi's organizational ability to launch an offense and create opportunities for David Lee to end the offense.

The tactical execution was very successful, and David Lee lived up to expectations and became the Warriors' second scoring point.

On the other hand, there is a problem with the Thunder's offense.

Durant was affected by the decline in physical fitness, his shooting percentage dropped sharply, and he was unable to continue to help the team narrow the point difference.

Westbrook, Harden and others were strictly guarded by the Warriors, and they also couldn't help the team open the situation.

In this way, the Warriors, relying on their strong defense, played a 7-0 offensive climax and opened the point difference to double digits.

Thunder coach Brooks saw that the situation was not good and immediately requested a timeout.

After returning from the timeout, the Thunder's offense improved and did not allow the Warriors to continue to widen the point difference.

At the end of the halftime game, the score displayed on the big screen was 56 to 45, and the Warriors entered the second half with a 11-point lead.

After a short 15-minute intermission, the second half began.

As soon as the game started in the third quarter, the Warriors suddenly exerted their strength, not only increasing their defensive intensity, but also strengthening their offensive firepower.

Most of the Thunder's players were playing in the playoffs for the first time. When they encountered this situation, they were directly confused and made many pass errors.

The Warriors seized the opportunity, played defensive counterattacks, scored frequently, and further expanded their lead.

When the third quarter progressed to the second half, the Thunder adjusted.

Under the leadership of Durant, they fought back hard and recovered the point difference by a few points.

At the end of the third quarter, the Warriors entered the fourth quarter with a 15-point lead.

After a short intermission, the fourth quarter begins.

The Warriors held the lead, slowed down the pace of the game, and at the same time increased physical confrontation, consuming the Thunder's vitality.

After more than 30 minutes of high-intensity competition, Durant, Westbrook and others suffered a serious decline in physical fitness, their shooting postures were deformed, and their shooting percentage dropped sharply.

The Warriors relied on Sun Yi's personal ability to score points, and slowly struggled with the Thunder bit by bit.

Seeing that there is not much time left in the game, the Thunder can only make a desperate move and bet on touch on the outside.

The Warriors naturally expected this to happen, and have already made full preparations and strengthened their perimeter defense.

The Thunder's three-point shooting was already poor, and coupled with the Warriors' interference, the shooting rate was terrible, and the opportunity to overtake the score was completely lost.

In the end, the Warriors beat the Thunder 98-86 for their first win in the playoffs.

In terms of statistics, 4 Warriors scored in double figures.

Sun Yi's performance is beyond doubt and he was elected the best player of the game.

在上场的42分钟内，得到32分13篮板10助攻3抢断2盖帽的全面数据。

大卫-李获得18分8篮板的数据；巴蒂尔三分球4投3中，得到11分3助攻的数据；钱德勒砍下12分10篮板的两双数据。

The Thunder's best player is Durant.

在上场的44分钟内，得到28分6篮板5助攻1抢断的数据。

Westbrook played quite poorly and was an important "contributor" to helping the Warriors win.

在上场的42分钟内，得到了16分4篮板6助攻的数据，投篮命中率堪堪到达30%左右，并且还出现了5次失误。

If the Warriors hold a celebration banquet, Westbrook will definitely take the main seat.

After the game, Sun Yi came to the sidelines to be interviewed by media reporters.

When asked if he had the confidence to lead the team to the Western Conference semifinals, Sun Yi was not arrogant and said: I am already thinking about my opponent in the second round!
Although the Warriors suppressed the Thunder throughout the game, the Thunder were not as weak as imagined. As long as they adjust, they can still beat the Warriors.

After answering the questions raised by the reporters in a satisfactory manner, Sun Yi returned to the locker room under the escort of the staff.
