I'm really not a 3D player

Chapter 242 Advancing to the Second Round

After the first game of the playoffs, some people were happy while others were sad.

The winning team wants to make persistent efforts to win the next game, while the losing team wants to try their best to win back.

The players of the Warriors were not dazzled by the first victory, and they were still training conscientiously to prepare for the next game.

Time passed quickly, and the second game between the Warriors and Thunder officially began.

The game was played thrillingly, and it was not until the end that the winner was decided.

With 20 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the Thunder were still 1 point behind the Warriors.

When the Thunder attacked, Durant used the cover of his teammates to quickly get rid of the defense, came to the mid-range area on the right, received Westbrook's pass, faced Sun Yi's cover, and shot a fadeaway jumper.

The basketball bounced off the rim and rolled into the net.

At this time, with 8 seconds left before the end of the game, the score displayed on the big screen was 105 to 104, and the Warriors were 1 point behind.

Warriors head coach Nelson immediately requested a timeout and called the players back to the bench to arrange the final attack.

"Give the ball to Sun!" After Nelson finished speaking, he was gesturing on the tactical board, arranging how to coordinate the last attack.

The Warriors players nodded in understanding and got ready to play.

On the Thunder bench, head coach Brooks also raced against time to arrange tactics.

"The time has come to test our defense. You don't want to go back with a score of 0-2, so go fight!"

After Brooks finished motivating, he immediately deployed defensive tactics.

It can be said that this offense and defense is very critical.

If the Thunder defend the offense, it will tie the game.

But if the Thunder suffer a tragic lore, they will return home with a big score of 0 to 2. The situation is very unfavorable for them.

Therefore, this last attack is likely to be the turning point of this series.

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

Back from the timeout, the Warriors serve the sideline.

Sun Yi quickly ran without the ball, trying to catch the ball with the help of his teammates' cover.

Seflosa followed the defense very closely, and other Thunder players shrank in the direction of Sun Yi from time to time, ready to step forward and double-team at any time.

Seeing that the five-second serve violation was about to occur, Sun Yi had an idea and bumped Seflosa away with his shoulder, gaining a chance to catch the ball.

The line referee saw this scene and did not call the penalty. This is a reasonable physical confrontation, and the last moment is left to the players to decide the outcome of the game.

In the high post area on the right, Sun Yi received the pass, took a dribble, and turned toward the baseline. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Durant rushing up from the defense. He had no extra time to make a fake move and could only drift and hide. He turned on the interference and threw the basketball in his hand.

Whether this difficult shot can be made or not is left to fate!

There was silence in the auditorium, the fans were extremely nervous and their palms were sweating.

Some timid female fans even covered their eyes with their hands, not having the courage to continue watching.

The bold fans stared intently at the basketball flying in the air. They did not want to miss the moment of witnessing the miracle.

The basketball in the air draws a perfect arc.

Swish!
Hollow into the network!

At the same time, the timer flashed a red light and a harsh buzzer sounded throughout the arena.

"It's over! It's over! Sun Yi completed the anti-lore and completely killed the game!"

In the commentary box, Barkley roared at the top of his lungs.

The auditorium was completely boiling, and the fans stood up one after another, shouting the slogan of MVP in unison.

On the court, Sun Yi was surrounded by his teammates and happily celebrated his hard-won victory.

On the other side, the Thunder players showed frustrated expressions, glanced at the celebrating Warriors players, and walked toward the tunnel unwillingly.

It can be said that they were very close to victory.

After the game, Sun Yi, who had completed the winning goal, was naturally the favorite in the eyes of the media reporters, and they all gathered around him.

"Sun, congratulations on leading the team to tonight's game. In this game, you once again scored a triple-double of 38 points, 12 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 blocks, and completed the game-winner. Is there anything you want to say?" Reporter asked.

"I'm very happy to help the team win. As for my personal data, it really doesn't matter to me. As long as I can win, I don't care about my own data." Sun Yi replied "sincerely".

After hearing this, the media reporters showed doubts in their eyes and expressed disbelief.

But they couldn't force Sun Yi, they could only continue to ask questions.

According to the standard answers given by the press officer, Sun Yi answered all kinds of questions from the reporters without any leaks.

After the post-match interview, Sun Yi returned to the locker room, greeted his teammates, changed into training clothes, and went to the training ground for additional training.

……

The next day, the front page headlines of the sports section were the news of Sun Yi's winning goal last night.

This is also mixed with the mainstream media's analysis of MVP. They are very optimistic about Sun Yi becoming the youngest MVP winner in NBA history.

Sun Yi smiled after seeing the news.

You must know that these mainstream media hold the voting rights for the regular season MVP.

Now that they are openly siding with each other, as long as he doesn't perform badly in the next games, then the MVP is basically a sure thing.

After reading the news, Sun Yi ate breakfast with a happy mood, and then drove to the arena to meet the team.

Today the entire Warriors team will head to Oklahoma City to prepare for Game [-] against the Thunder.

……

On April 4, the third game between the Warriors and Thunder started at Chesapeake Energy Arena.

Affected by the last game's decisive victory, the status of the two teams was very different.

The Warriors' morale is high, the players are in excellent condition, and they want to win the game in one go.

On the other hand, the morale of the Thunder team is low, and the players are in a very bad state. They want to take advantage of the home field to get back a round, but they are powerless.

The results speak for themselves. The Warriors defeated the Thunder 114-89 on the road.

After the game, the Warriors led 3-0 and gained match point.

In theory, the Thunder still have the hope of reversing and advancing, but no team in NBA history can finish 0-3 behind and advance.

It can be said that the Thunder have been sentenced to death and basically missed the second round.

Just when everyone thought the Warriors would sweep the Thunder, the Thunder realized their shame and then bravely rebounded.

In Game 106, the Thunder beat the Warriors 99-[-] to pull one back and avoid being swept.

Immediately following the most critical fifth game, the Warriors returned home and did not give the Thunder any chance.

Sun Yi scored a triple-double of 42 points, 18 rebounds and 11 assists. He single-handedly defeated the Thunder with a total score of 4-1 and led the team to advance to the second round.

At this point, the Warriors have finished all their first-round games.
