Chapter 860
Cole was about to quarrel with the referee on the sidelines.
He believed that the Thunder made a foul while defending, and just counterattacked the ball. The Thunder made an offensive foul and the goal was invalid.
The roar of the head coach also affected the mentality of the players to a certain extent.
As a Bulls player, Cole should know how immobile Jackson is.
It is a pity that it is too difficult to be like a Zen master.
Moreover, it is really not a conscious move to compete with the referee.
You are not Li Liang, and you don't have a hair dryer. Do you think you are qualified to reason with the referee?
The referee will reason with you and teach you how to behave.
As a result of Cole and the referee's roar, the timeout came back, and the Warriors finally hit a three-pointer from the outside.
But after recovering, Durant killed the basket in the offense and caused a foul by Thompson.
Get to the free throw line.
Cole didn't dare to yell at the referee this time, so he could only smile helplessly and shake his head.
He can only use the extra energy to communicate with the assistant coach Walton next to him.
The point difference is still 11 points.
For the Thunder, Waiters came on and replaced Adams.
Adams' disadvantage in big defense and small defense is indeed a bit big.
With Adams off the court, the Thunder's defense became more resilient.
Thompson wanted to force Waiters in the low post, but he just didn't push.
The turnaround jumper missed.
During the counterattack, Waiters went straight to the basket and found Li Liang in the crowd who was following him.
After Li Liang received the ball, he tossed it lightly and hit the board with two points!
At 26:13, the point difference became 13 points.
In this third game, at Oracle Arena, the situation is quite bad for the Warriors.
With 4 minutes left in the first quarter, the Warriors finally succeeded in a complete pass and cut cooperation.
The Thunder made a defensive error and there was no one at the basket. Ezeli cut in, received a pass from Curry, and dunked easily with both hands.
The first quarter is almost over, the two sides have already entered the state, and the Warriors only played one pass and cut cooperation.
It is enough to see how successful the Thunder's defense is.
In the duel with Donovan, Cole was at a disadvantage.
While the Thunder have the better cards, the Warriors are not without a chance.
It's just that he was beaten more and more smoothly by the Thunder, and it was still the same situation in Oracle. Cole's tactical arrangement did have some problems.
The Thunder played better and better, followed by the positional attack, relying on continuous cooperation, breaking points, transferring the ball, and found Li Liang in the bottom corner.
That's right, Li Liang actually appeared in the bottom corner, squatting in the bottom corner for three-pointers.
The Warriors actually missed him.
In the bottom corner on the right, Li Liang catches the ball and makes a three-pointer, and it hits!
Li Liang scored 16 points in the first quarter.
It can be seen that Li Liang is going to beat the warrior to death.
Can be 3:0, he will never let the series become 2:1.
The Warriors are facing great difficulties, and Bruce Lee seems to be in full force mode, so should we go all out to defend him?
If he goes all out to defend him, what will Durant do? What about Westbrook?
Let Westbrook guard Durant?
It's a good idea, but seems to rely too much on Westbrook.
In this series, Westbrook played quite restrained and calm.
Fewer shots, more passes, fewer rebounds, and more solid defense.
Thunder is complete and powerful, almost unstoppable.
For this kind of team, you either have a powerful low-post Big Mac inside, which may change the matchup pattern between the two sides.
But the Warriors are also an outside team, and it is very difficult to play.
After that, Curry missed a three-pointer from the outside.
Iguodala desperately grabbed the offensive rebound and passed the ball to Thompson.
The Thunder's defense was a little lax, giving Thompson an open chance.
Three-point hit.
Thompson's three-point level may be a little worse than Curry's.
But Thompson is 10 centimeters taller than Curry, which makes him less restricted.
Judging from the current three games, Curry's performance is estimated to be only 70% of the regular season.
The two sides fought back and forth for two rounds. The Warriors accelerated the pace to chase points, but they just didn't score.
The intensity of both sides has been raised to a higher level.
At this time, it is time for superstars to stand up again.
Li Liang picks and rolls with Westbrook in the high post, and cuts inside after receiving a pass from Westbrook.
Bogut was resting off the court, Green was afraid to make a move on one side, Li Liang stormed up with the ball, and dunked Ezeli with one hand!
With 18 points, Li Liang has already scored 18 points in the first quarter, which is more than the Warriors' current team has scored.
And unlike when he was in the Pacers last year, he doesn't need to blindly play singles with the ball, he can cooperate with his teammates, and he can even eat cakes!
In other words, Li Liang, who scored 18 points, still did not exert his strength 100%.
Thunder's configuration does not require him to play so tired and hard.
The Thunder completely suppressed the Warriors in the first quarter.
At the end of the first quarter, the Thunder led the Warriors by 12 points at 40:28.
The Warriors looked more ominous.
After the start of the second quarter, Li Liang led the team alone to compete with the Warriors' second team on the court.
Iguodala hit a three-pointer as soon as he came up to quench the Warriors' thirst.
The Thunder used Adams Garkant's twin tower combination again.
However, Li Liang's through pass to Adams from a high position made a mistake and was intercepted by Iguodala.
The Thunder quickly retreated without giving the Warriors a chance to counterattack.
Barnes missed a breakthrough jumper, and Li Liang also missed a three-pointer at the top of the arc.
The Warriors saw the hope of a counterattack. Livingston dribbled to the bottom line when he was a signature again, and then turned around with a zero-degree jumper and scored two points.
The Warriors, who scored five points in a row, narrowed the point difference to less than 10 points.
Immediately afterwards, Iguodala was on defense and intercepted Adams' pass to Li Liang!
Warriors fans stood up, wanting to see Iguodala counterattack and dunk!
As a result, Li Liang chased from behind, stabbed lightly, sent the ball to Iguodala and broke it.
After the back grab, Li Liang dribbled the ball for half the court. After Adams made a screen, Li Liang hit a super long-range three-pointer from the outside!
A super long three-pointer two steps away from the three-point line.
After so many years, this is still Li Liang's sharpest weapon.
And Livingston immediately took the ball to the bottom line quickly, and hit a jumper with a zero-degree turn around again.
Livingston's zero-degree mid-range jumper was really well practiced, helping the Warriors struggle to catch up with the score.
The Warriors then defended against a 24-second violation by the Thunder. Li Liang wanted to play for Kanter, but after Kanter held the ball, the Warriors double-teamed him, so he could only take the ball and lost his best shot.
A master's move, in an instant.
The Warriors and Thunder's offense basically has to be seized immediately if there is a chance, otherwise it will be lost soon.
The Warriors had a good chance to counterattack, but Iguodala's throw to the basket missed.
There are a lot of throws after reaching the basket in the Warriors' offense.
Because the outside line is tightly controlled by the Thunder, and there are two towers when he goes to the basket, so he can only shoot this kind of weird throw.
Adams got the rebound in the backcourt. During the counterattack, Li Liang made a long pass to Waiters who was about to come down.
Waiters changed hands with his left hand for a layup, a difficult move, and the ball scored.
The Thunder are getting more and more courageous as they fight, and the performance of the substitute players is also getting better and better.
But Barnes immediately responded with a three-pointer at the top of the arc.
The point difference still hasn't been widened, and the game is still going on.
With 7 minutes and 58 seconds left before the end of the second quarter, the game entered an official timeout.
Although the two sides fought fiercely, they have played relatively civilized so far.
There was no too intense action, and there was not much conflict after the two games, and the smell of gunpowder was not very strong.
The two sides are fighting based on the principle of competition, and outside moves are basically useless.
But for the Warriors, something is not right.
If they lose this game again, it will be beyond redemption.
Sometimes in order to win, players in the NBA will do a lot of things.
In competitive sports, this "stubborn disease" has never been eliminated, and it is impossible to be eliminated.
Even if there is no conflict of interest in the wild field, there are people who make "shady tricks", not to mention the NBA field, which is related to huge honor and interests?
So, Draymond Green silently stared at Adams' balls.
