Chapter 807 Westbrook's Depression
Cole called a timeout. He couldn't just watch Li Liang perform at his best.
This guy is poisonous. Once he starts scoring goals, he will keep scoring goals and can't stop.
In fact, Cole was too worried. Li Liang's state was not that good tonight.
Unlike the finals, Li Liang didn't use any props, as long as you defend carefully, you can always interfere with him.
But there is no way, the shadow brought by the finals of last season is too strong.
Cole panicked when he saw Li Liang's consecutive goals.
Curry was clearly unhappy with Kerr's timeout.
"He can shoot, I can also shoot, I feel good, very good!" He mumbled to Cole when he came to the bench.
Curry counted the rise of the killing, but Cole's side Mingjin retreated.
"I believe you can make a shot, and you can still make it after the timeout!" Cole replied.
He himself felt guilty when he said this, if Curry can get in, can Li Liang not get in?
Obviously, Cole, like Green, has a fear of Li Liang.
And the best way to overcome fear is to face it head on!
In this regard, Curry is better than Cole and Green, and he has no fear of Li Liang.
The relationship between the two is quite good in private. They are both signing stars of Under Armour, and they are the only two in the league.
Curry knows that Li Liang is very strong, but if you are afraid of him, it will not have any effect.
After the timeout ended, Curry immediately responded.
After he used Green's pick-and-roll on the right, he faced Li Liang's defense change, and he shot a 45-pointer directly with a three-pointer!
In order to avoid the interference of Li Liang's blocking, Curry shot the ball higher than usual, with a higher arc, and the shot was a bit hasty.
But the ball still fell into the net hollow!
Cole clearly arranged a counter-run tactic during the timeout, but Curry refused to listen and wanted to shoot himself.
But he did.
Cole sat on the bench and shook his head, what can he do?
This ball was made, and Curry's three-pointers were already 6 of 7 shots, and the shooting percentage was really amazing.
The score came to 76:81, and the Warriors chased after them.
Then, Westbrook gave the ball to Kanter who came off the bench.
Kanter cut in the middle, but the ball was directly cut off by Green!
With the height of a guard, Green has shown excellent defensive ability in the interior.
With this ball, Li Liang continued to spread out on the flanks, giving absolute space opportunities in the middle.
But Kanter still couldn't grasp it.
After stealing the ball, Curry took the lead in counterattacking.
Li Liang chased after him, Curry changed hands for a layup, but was blocked by Li Liang with a big cap from behind!
But the referee whistled and called Li Liang's foul.
Li Liang rushed the ball too fast and knocked Curry out of the baseline.
Curry made two free throws, 78:81, and soon caught up to 3 points.
Cole thought at this time that Curry might be right, and he should trust him more.
Tonight, Curry was cold and then hot, and his state gradually came out. Now is his best time.
Durant has returned to the court at this time, he received the ball in the right corner, broke through the bottom line and rushed to the basket and caused a foul.
On the free throw line, but Durant made only one of two free throws.
Curry counterattacked with the ball again, and the Thunder switched defenses from the outside.
After Curry and Green picked and rolled, it was Li Liang's turn to defend Curry one-on-one.
Li Liang didn't use any skills, and killed Curry purely by his personal ability.
Curry tried consecutively to get rid of it to no avail, and finally stepped back and made a super long-range three-pointer!
The ball went a little bit wide and ended up missing.
This is the difference between Curry and Li Liang.
When encountering this kind of ball, Li Liang will not choose to dribble away, but to throw the ball with the fastest speed in the shortest time before the opponent's interference comes up.
This is the result of differences in physical conditions.
On the Thunder's side, Durant got a rebound from the backcourt, dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and made a direct shot as soon as he reached the three-point line!
Also a quick strong three-pointer that also missed.
"Tm can't wait for me!"
Li Liang just finished defending and ran halfway, but he missed the shot and had to run back again.
Curry makes a covert pass to Iguodala.
Iguodala broke through to the basket from the left, circled around, and hit the ground back to Speights who cut in the middle.
Speights was about to make a layup, but Li Liang shot the ball out of the baseline with a big cap from behind.
It's still the Warriors' possession.
Donovan watched anxiously off the court.
Let Li Liang play in order to let him score more points, but now he only defends.
Li Liang also scolded in his heart, if you don't give me the ball, I didn't score much?
The Thunder's Big Three are all very strong, and they are all players who can be the core.
Sometimes fighting with each other, you will fall into a situation where you are fighting on your own.
After all, the ability of three people to solve problems is too strong.
It's okay to deal with other teams, but the Warriors are equally strong, so it's not so easy to solve.
At this time, there are still two minutes before the end of the third quarter.
It's still the Warriors' possession.
Donovan made a substitution, replacing Westbrook with Singler.
Li Liang doesn't quite understand Donovan's substitution, why the fuck did you let Singler play again?
Did Singler save your Donovan family in his previous life?
As a result, as soon as Singler stepped up, the outside line switched to Curry.
To defend Curry, you must switch defenses after the pick-and-roll.
And Green is facing Li Liang, so instead of doing pick-and-rolls for Curry, he lets the people who are facing Singler pick-and-rolls for Curry.
In this way, Singler defended Curry, still on the left side, in the same position as Li Liang defended him just now.
Curry still dribbled away, Singler defended very hard, but failed to keep up.
Curry retreated and made a three-point shot one step away from the three-point line!
This ball, Curry has absolute confidence, he knows his hand feels very good.
If it wasn't for Bruce Li Fang himself just now, he would definitely be able to make the shot.
Sure enough, the ball hit the center of the basket!
81:82, the Warriors are only 1 point away from catching up!
There are obviously some fluctuations in the mentality of the Thunder players.
Durant finally gave the ball to Li Liang this time, and the Warriors did not hesitate to attack with three players.
Li Liang gave the ball to Kanter, but Kanter missed the ball and went out of bounds...
Li Liang is speechless, you can't even catch this ball?
You Turks are very good at ice cream, why can't you catch a ball?
The Warriors counterattacked and still gave the ball to Curry.
Curry screened and received the ball. In the same position, still 45 degrees to the left, he made another quick three-pointer!
But this ball Li Liang rushed over, interfered with Curry, and the ball went out of the basket.
Durant grabbed the rebound, quickly crossed the half court, and then faced the defense from outside the three-point line, pulled up and shot!
Three points hit!
Durant finally responded with a goal!
Then, Durant faced up to Curry in the defense-almost everyone on the Warriors side will come out to cover Curry.
As long as there is a screen, the Thunder will switch defenses.
Singler's side was hidden, and as long as Singler was pulled out, Li Liang would definitely follow and help.
This time it was Durant's turn, and with his long arms and legs, he forced Curry to pass the ball.
Speights received the ball, held the ball in and killed himself, and then forced a jumper to miss.
Li Liang got the rebound and dribbled the ball for half the court, and the Warriors came forward to attack again.
Li Liang decisively passed the ball to Durant.
After Durant made a big change of direction outside, he pulled up at 45 degrees on the left side and shot again!
Three points again!
Two consecutive three-pointers!
The three-pointers on both sides were shot open.
At 81:88, the Thunder regained their dominant position.
There are still 13 seconds left before the end of the third quarter.
The Warriors quickly serve and want to grab another offense.
But Curry was targeted by Li Liang this time.
The continuous attempts to get rid of the outside line were unsuccessful, and Li Liang finally blocked the shot with reluctance.
In the end, the third quarter ended, 81:88, and the Thunder entered the fourth quarter with a 7-point lead.
Off the court, Westbrook is still very depressed. Why do Kevin and Bruce perform so well when I say it?
