Green Re-inbound pass, Klay passed the ball to Livingston.
Livingston came to Frontcourt with the ball, passed the ball to Durant, then ran to the low post, stuck Westbrook and reached for the ball.
After that, the two sides began to gradually enter the Transition Period competition. Taking advantage of several dead balls, the coaches of both sides began to substitute substitute players one after another.
The bench of Thunder still maintained an efficient level. Deron ushered in a small explosion, with consecutive LaMelo Ball, followed by Collins Pick-and-Roll and Drag Step breaking through, killing Cook and Pachulia.
Deron's Mid-range shooting also recovered some Touch. In four minutes, he made 3 of 5 shots and got 6 points and 2 assists, further widening the point difference between Thunder and Warriors.
At the end of the first quarter, Thunder 37 led 29 by 8 points.
The atmosphere at Golden State Fans at home seems a bit gloomy. In recent years, when have they ever been so frustrated at Playoffs!
Sitting on the sidelines, Curry, wearing a suit, also looked a little solemn.
This situation is definitely not smooth, and is almost being pushed to the edge of a cliff.
They are the defending champions! They were at their peak last year, starting with Second Round and sweeping their opponents 4 to 1. Cosmic Warriors never imagined that they would end up in this situation this year.
The second quarter of the game failed to save the little hearts of Fans.
Transition Period of Thunder, led by Westbrook Chen Xi, had another small climax, a 7-0 attack wave. Although the score did not seem to be much at first glance, the score difference was reduced to 15 points.
It's a familiar situation again, and it's this bad score difference again.
Durant had no choice but to carry the banner alone again, take over the ball, and chase points with consecutive personal Isolation, but in this way, he fell into the same vicious cycle as in the previous game.
However, today's Durant and Touch were indeed good. They made 7 of 9 shots in a single quarter and scored 16 points. At one point, the score difference was within 10 points.
But after entering Third Quarter, Thunder took advantage of the time when Durant was not present and launched another 9-3 attack wave to push the score back.
Then this point difference was maintained until Fourth Quarter.
Until the last four minutes, Klay seemed to be getting through Ren and Du Meridians, and Three-Pointer hit three consecutive shots, forcing the score back to 8 points.
Warriors immediately set off another wave at home, and they excitedly thought that the chance to make a comeback was here!!
However, the plot had twists and turns. After Klay hit three Three-Pointers in succession to gain opportunities for the team, he got ahead and then missed three more Three-Pointers.
I ruined the opportunity with my own hands again~~
In the end, Thunder 121 beat 116, leading by a big score of 2-0.
It was a result that no one expected. Although Curry was absent and Warriors was expected to lose, no one expected that Golden State Warriors would lose two games in a row at his home court.
Suddenly, there was a turmoil, and the media was praising Thunder and belittling Warriors.
<Losing two home games in a row, Golden State Warriors's championship dream is shattered?>
<Durant scored 40+10 and it is difficult to reverse the decline. Is it really wrong to join Warriors?>
<Thunder conquered two cities in a row at Golden State!! The sword points at NBA Championship.>
<Cosmic Warriors? Golden State aircraft carrier? That's all, sir! Times have changed!!>
<Clown Durant, joining Warriors will be the decision he regrets most in his career!>
For a time, Warriors Fans's Internet life fell into a big headwind, just like their home team.
In the past, they only had to fight against Cavaliers Fans, but now they have to fight alone, Contact and the whole League, because the neighbor won the game and no one helped them share the pressure.
Battle with Lei Yong, another game that ended on the same day, Bulls Cavaliers's G6.
LeBron·James 45+9+7, Love 14+6, TT15+10, the three of them worked together to dominate the Bulls board.
Even if Oladipo alone scored 30+12+6, it still didn't help. He couldn't catch Zach LaVine, with a poor performance of 3 out of 14 shots.
In the end, Bulls lost to Cavaliers 101 to 105, and the game was dragged into Game 7.
In 2018, the first group Game 7 of Playoffs was born just like that, and they were born in the team of James.
It's so sad~~
Before we knew it, it was May.
On the 1st, there was only one game. Celtics, who had been waiting for work, finally waited for their Second Round opponent, Philadelphia 76ers.
Although Jaylen Brown did not play due to injury, Joel Embiid and Jayson·Tatum still contributed a wonderful performance.
Tutu scored 34+12, the best performance of Playoffs in his career.
Although Big Butt on the opposite side also scored 37+13, he was in a difficult situation.
Covington made 0 of 6 shots, putting the team in big trouble.
Originally, Simmons had no outside ability, and then Covington and Touch were cold, which reduced Philadelphia 76ers's space by more than half. In addition, Philadelphia 76ers is not a team like Thunder, who is good at playing fast.
Thunder can use methods such as increasing the rhythm, pushing transitions, and reducing positions to make up for the team's shortcomings of poor Teammates shooting, but Philadelphia 76ers cannot. They are originally a team that plays Positional play.
After all, with Embiid here, it must be a position with higher profits.
Moreover, Celtics also has two rare soldiers.
One is Rozier from Fiery State. In this game, he made 11 of 18 shots and scored 29 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists.
There is another one, which is Horford.
If League is currently the best player in defending Embiid, then Horford will definitely occupy a place among them.
Even in this match, Embiid's outside line Touch is very good, and Interior doesn't have to fight Horford frequently, which makes the fight very uncomfortable.
Big Butt may have to consider whether he can play well if he enters Interior and goes to the low position Isolation Horford when his Touch is not good.
In addition, Horford's own level is not low, and he scored an explosive data of 26 points and 7 rebounds in this game.
In the end, Celtics 117 easily defeated Philadelphia 76ers and won Second Round's G1.
May 2nd.
Cavaliers vs. Bulls, Game 7 War.
James scored 45 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists, leading the team to victory.
Become one of the few teams that can still counterattack and win after losing King Mountain.
When the game came to the most critical moment, the quality of Oladipo was still a little worse after all.
However, being able to fight Game 7 with Cavaliers can be regarded as a successful completion of this season's mission.
There are two games on the same day, namely Rockets vs. Timberwolves G5 and Raptors vs. Wizards G6.
Both sides also successfully ended the series tonight.
Rockets 120 beat Timberwolves by 103, Raptors 118 narrowly beat Wizards by 116.
