Chapter 642: A Good Fighter Has No Outstanding Achievement
When Curry made the first three-pointer against Ibaka, Durant only frowned slightly.

When Curry easily broke through Ibaka's defense and succeeded in picking the basket, Durant felt a bad feeling in his heart.

When Curry ignored his defense and hit a three-pointer, Durant's heart suddenly shrank, and he felt that all the strength in his body was suddenly taken away, and the exhaustion from being suppressed by force swept over him like a tide.

After the first three quarters, Durant's shots reached 26 times, more than the usual number of shots in a game, and each shot is very difficult and consumes a lot of energy.

In the fourth quarter, Donovan did not replace him. Durant gritted his teeth and finally led the team to recover the point difference. Relying on the willpower to win.

But as Curry succeeded in three consecutive singles, the point difference was stretched to 14 points, and the Thunder's hope of winning became extremely slim. Durant also suddenly lost the motivation to continue, and his physical exhaustion weighed on his spirit. excitement.

In the subsequent games, he didn't even ask for the ball very much. When the Thunder attacked, he stood in the corner or on the sideline to open up space.

Only Westbrook, no matter how difficult the game situation is, how many points the Thunder is behind, he is as passionate as ever, holding the ball, gritting his teeth, burying his head, and rushing to the Warriors' penalty area, as if a machine will never stop The steel chariot in general.

It's just that this chariot encountered a harder barrier, and it couldn't break through it, causing sparks to fly and parts to fly horizontally.

As time went on, the balance of victory tilted a little bit towards the Warriors.

Although Westbrook did not make any brainless mistakes, the Thunder still entered the mode of Westbrook playing with the ball and Durant standing and watching. In this mode, it is impossible for the Thunder to win-especially against When a super team like the Warriors.

Westbrook is trapped in the Warriors' encirclement by himself, and his scoring efficiency is very low. The others can only defend and can't help on the offensive end. If Durant doesn't stand up again, the Thunder's offense can't match the strength of the Warriors.

Looking back, Curry was unstoppable.

He chased Durant and Ibaka in the pick-and-roll, whether it was a three-pointer against the defense, or a step-back three-pointer with a limit shot, or a dexterous breakthrough after continuous shaking and rhythm changes, completely cracked the Thunder. Unlimited defense changes.

In the past few seasons, as the Warriors' lineup configuration has become more and more reasonable, the tacit understanding has become higher and higher, and the passing and cutting system has become more and more perfect. .

People's impression of Curry is more and more inclined to be a super shooter, but they forget that when Curry first entered the league, the Warriors lacked ball handlers. The technique of shooting three-pointers with the ball.

He has never let go of his ability to play singles with the ball. Instead, he has become more powerful with the improvement of confrontation and technical improvement, but he does not need to show it in the regular season. Curry is also happy to integrate into the team's pass and cut system. Powerful off-ball skills to score.

Now, the Thunder are adopting a strategy of unlimited defenses to prevent Curry from running without the ball, so he will use his bottom-of-the-box skills to win the game.

……

In the end, as Westbrook missed a three-pointer, the Warriors defeated the Thunder 124:109, leading 1:0.

The Thunder lost hope of a comeback early on, but it wasn't until the final 1:12 of the game, when the Warriors led by 18 points, that Donovan replaced the main force and conceded the loss.

Zhang Yu also changed into the third team, and the main players of the Warriors left the court to welcome the cheers of the fans.

The shouts of "mvp" resounded through the Chase Center. Curry played 7 minutes in the fourth quarter and scored 15 points. He made 26 of 14 shots, 13 of 8 three-pointers, 5 of 5 free throws, 41 points, 5 assists and 4 With 1 rebound and [-] steal, he won the worship of Warriors fans.

杜兰特的表现也很出色，全场30投15中，三分9中3，罚球7中6，砍下39分2助攻7篮板1封盖。

But his scoring was mainly concentrated in the first half, and he only scored 11 points in the second half. In the most critical fourth quarter, he only scored 5 points, and all of them were scored in the transitional period at the beginning of the fourth quarter. One point in the last 5 minutes The impact on the game is not as great as the data shows.

威少砍下了27分9助攻8篮板1抢断的准三双数据，却用了23次出手，还送出了6次失误。

He and Durant took 52 shots, accounting for nearly 6% of the Thunder's team's shots, but the efficiency of converting them into points was not high enough.

Apart from the two, only Ibaka scored 16 points, and no one else scored in double figures. The overall shooting percentage of the Thunder team was only 40.6%, and the offense was seriously hindered. They were able to score nearly 110 points, all because of the rhythm of the game. Too fast, the number of rounds is too many, in exchange for a high shot.

In contrast to the Warriors, Curry was productive and efficient, Leonard scored 24 points and only took 18 shots; Clay scored 15 points, not many points, but only took 11 shots; Antetokounmpo made 12 of 7 shots and made free throws. He scored 5 of 3 and scored 17 points. Four of the team scored in double figures, all with high efficiency.

The overall shooting percentage of the Warriors team reached 46.8%, and they took 13 more three-pointers than the Thunder. The three-point shooting percentage reached 41.1%, and the offensive efficiency completely exceeded the Thunder.

The Thunder's infinite defense strategy failed completely.

Curry is no longer the Curry who went into battle with injuries, and the Warriors are not the Warriors who are weak inside.

Under Zhang Yu's coaching, Curry avoided ankle injuries and surpassed himself at his peak. Zhang Yu's carefully formed lineup made up for the Warriors' biggest weakness-inside, Antetokounmpo and Leonard both Can provide low-post blasting ability, coupled with Curry's unparalleled small and big, the Warriors are not afraid of the Thunder's defense at all.

A good fighter has no great achievements. Today, Zhang Yu just saw the tricks and switched defenses with singles. This is an adjustment that any coach can make. The eyes of the fans are all focused on Curry, but the result of this game, in the Before the start of the game, after Zhang Yu selected Curry, Clay, Green, Leonard, Antetokounmpo and trained them, it was already decided.

……

After the game, Curry and Durant's performances both rushed to the hot searches in the United States.

People were shocked by Curry's scoring performance and regretted Durant's empty cut.

This is a great duel between two super breakups. Although Durant's stealth at the end of the quarter made his performance a lot, Westbrook's inefficient offense at the last moment concealed Durant's physical decline and lack of offense. The fact of desire.

The outside world pointed the finger at Westbrook and Donovan, and they all believed that they were the culprits for the Thunder's loss.

The Warriors are best at playing fast-paced defensive counterattacks. As a result, Donovan still used a large lineup, which is a crime.

Curry's ability to play small and big is the best in the league. As a result, Donovan also switched defenses infinitely, letting the big players defend Curry alone, which is the second crime.

Durant felt hot and scored 39 points in three and a half quarters. In the end, he couldn't touch the ball. Westbrook kept attacking with the ball.

With these three crimes, how can the Thunder win?
Barkley, who predicted before the game that the Thunder would win, was slapped in the face, and his reaction was particularly intense:
"Westbrook looked like an angry, irrational bull, bumping around the court, getting blocked, was he really a point guard? Durant was invisible for the last 5 minutes, he Got 39 points, that's good, but it's not enough, Curry scored 41 points in the fourth quarter, what is Durant doing at this time? He is running back and forth! I can't understand, why is a super scorer at the end Can't touch the ball all the time, this is a problem that the Thunder must solve, otherwise they can't beat the Warriors!"

Smith praised Curry's performance:

"From the point of view of scoring, Curry is only 2 points more than Durant, but anyone who watched the game knows how strong Curry's presence is in the fourth quarter. He showed a powerful scoring explosion. Power, dominated the game! Ibaka was selected as the best first-defense defender. Durant has a strong talent, but their defense is useless in front of Curry. Must we admit that Curry's singles The ability is at the historical level, and it is by no means a simple small game, he can beat all defenders in one-on-one!" O'Neal just sent a short tweet, but he was the most ruthless about Curry:

"Curry is a court artist, and his offensive skills are enough to enter the Presidential Hill level in NBA history!"

Warriors fans are also in a carnival, so what if Durant scored 39 points?Curry can cut 40+!

However, before the start of the game, people generally believed that the Warriors had the upper hand, and it was reasonable to win. They were only excited by Curry's wonderful performance, and then began to habitually loan out, and began to compete with the top ten stars in history for their historical status. ——This is the daily life of Warriors fans after Curry won his third mvp, but he didn't play much against Thunder fans.

Thunder fans didn’t expect to win at the Warriors’ home court. Since last season, the Warriors have won 13 consecutive home games in the playoffs, which is only two games away from the Bulls’ 15-game winning streak at home in the playoffs. .

But Durant's crazy scoring gave them hope for a while, and then this hope was extinguished by Curry.

However, they couldn't spray Curry, they could only vent their anger on Donovan and Westbrook.

"Donovan get out of Oklahoma! He doesn't understand tactics at all, he wasted Durant's touch!"

"Does Westbrook really know what he's doing? His brain capacity must be half that of an ordinary person, otherwise he couldn't be so brainless."

"I really feel sorry for Durant. He can't perform better, but his coach and his biggest helper have teamed up to ruin the game!"

These fans who raged against Donovan and Westbrook on the Internet will never know that when they released these news, Durant was behind the screen, looking over one by one, with a gloomy face.
