Chapter 248 Turn the tide!

Game day, Oklahoma.

Chesapeake Energy Arena.

This is the fourth time the two teams have played against each other this season, and it is also the last time this season. The first time they played against each other was also at the Chesapeake Energy Arena, but Durant was absent at that time.

The second and third times were at the Oracle Center. This time the Thunder played with all their members and played against the Golden State Warriors at home. They were full of confidence.

The Thunder back home are full of energy, whether it is shooting or defending, they are full of confidence!

Game start.

The Thunder started with Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, Serge Ibaka, Andre Roberson and Steven Adams.

The Warriors started with Zhang Xin, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Bogut and Draymond Green.

The Warriors still attach great importance to this game. They won 33 consecutive victories and shared the title of the first consecutive victories with the Lakers, but if they can monopolize a high ground, that is what they want.

After winning this game, it is time to rest and take a break, but this game is not enough, it must be won, and it has come to this point, there is no reason not to take the last step!
But today's game was really too difficult. The Thunder's defense was impenetrable. Offensively, Westbrook and Durant fired in turn. Adams and Ibaka grabbed offensive rebounds in succession and formed a second offense.

At the end of the first quarter, the Thunder widened the point difference to 16 points!
The Warriors, who have been fighting under high pressure for a long time, are finally showing signs of fatigue. Even though they have a reasonable rotation and often do psychological counseling, existence is existence. Psychological pressure and physical fatigue are accumulated little by little. Burnout easily.

Tonight's Warriors have reached a bottleneck. Facing the fierce pursuit of the Thunder, today's Warriors seem to have lost their souls.

Even though Zhang Xin struggled desperately in the second quarter, sending his teammates passes that would normally form beautiful assists, today's teammates missed shots that would surely score.

Cole's timeout and adjustments could not reverse the trend. By the second half of the second quarter, the Thunder had already led the Warriors by 22 points!
Zhang Xin is angry!

If you can't, then I'll come!

The Warriors had the ball, Livingston dribbled the ball across the half court, thinking about making a steady play, Zhang Xin rushed out from the inside, two steps from the three-point line and Livingston asked, Livingston quickly gave the ball to Zhang Xin letter.

Robertson then arrived, Zhang Xin took a tentative step, forced Robertson back a step, pulled up two steps away from the three-point line and shot!
A super long three-pointer!

Fans at Chesapeake Energy Arena were a little rioted.

In the next round, Zhang Xin pestered Durant, Durant turned over and missed a jumper, Zhang Xin grabbed the rebound, directly switched down, just passed the logo, pulled up and shot!
logoshoot!Hit!
There was a buzzing sound from the Chesapeake Energy Arena, and there was a slight commotion among the fans, and the fans felt that something was wrong.

Westbrook hurriedly responded to Zhang Xin, asked Adams for a high pick-and-roll, and took advantage of David Lee's failure to make a three-pointer!

Iguodala grabbed the rebound and went straight to the fast break. Zhang Xin had already made a quick pass. Iguodala passed a long pass to Zhang Xin. Robertson followed Zhang Xin. Zhang Xin quickly took a step towards the three-point line, and then made an emergency stop , shaking Robertson two meters away, Zhang Xin stepped back and chased him for three points!

The home fans were a little panicked. Zhang Xin had three three-pointers in a row, and each one was more difficult than the other. They remembered that Zhang Xin was a man who scored 82 points!

The audience shouted: "defense!"

The difference has been narrowed to 13 points.

Coach Brooks hurriedly called a timeout. Zhang Xin's outburst looked scary, so he called a timeout first to interrupt his momentum.

Pause back.

Facts have proved that Zhang Xin is unstoppable when he breaks out.

According to the coach's instructions, Westbrook first lays down his own offensive line, and Adams picks and rolls at a high position. Adams goes down and Westbrook passes the ball to Adams who goes down. Adams faces Green's help defense and wants to have a strong battle. The ax splits the buckle to prove his toughness.

Zhang Xin leaped high in a diagonal stab and stabbed Adams' ball away. Iguodala had quick eyesight and quick hands, and quickly controlled the basketball. Zhang Xin participated in the fast break. Pass the ball to Zhang Xin who is in the corner.

Zhang Xin made a shooting motion, shook Robertson, and took a right step back to make a three-pointer. The orange basketball passed the crowd and hit it!

The fourth three points!Only 9 points left!
The Thunder hadn't scored in four rounds. Durant couldn't help it, and went down to the low post to beckon. Barnes held Durant tightly, and Westbrook quickly transferred the ball to Barnes. Godala went straight to Durant.

Durant had expected this trick a long time ago. He passed the ball to Ibaka who was emptied.

Zhang Xin grabbed the rebound, and the Thunder quickly returned to defense. Without giving Zhang Xin a chance to switch, Zhang Xin dribbled the ball past halftime.

When Zhang Xin reached the top of the arc, Robertson lowered his weight nervously and raised his hand high, ready to interfere with Zhang Xin's shot.

Zhang Xin had a sullen face, and his dribbling was not fast, but very rhythmic. Robertson felt that Zhang Xin was like a tiger descending, with amazing momentum!

Zhang Xin made a direct breakthrough with a dribble under his crotch, and Robertson hurriedly followed, trying to use his body to fight against Zhang Xin to slow down Zhang Xin's speed. The letter whizzed by.

Ibaka on the flank hurried over to help defend, and Iguodala followed up. Zhang Xin hit Iguodala with a single hit, stepped forward, and Iguodala caught the ball and threw it upwards.

Zhang Xin took off with a step, and Ibaka followed suit. Ibaka stretched out his long arms and wanted to poke the ball away. Unexpectedly, Zhang Xin's take-off speed and height were faster and higher than Ibaka's. Bacca dunked the ball into the basket before!
Zhang Xin scored 14 points in a row!
Only 8 points left!
Durant was in a hurry, took the ball and broke inside, fouled Barnes, and Durant made two free throws.

Livingston dribbled the ball halfway and gave the ball to Zhang Xin. The fans in the Chesapeake Energy Arena rioted. They felt a little scared when they saw Zhang Xin holding the ball. Scary Zhang Xin!

Robertson, who was facing Zhang Xin, felt the same way. Zhang Xin was able to shoot, rush, and pass the ball. Almost every action was a threat. Such a person had almost no way to defend!
Zhang Xin called Green for a high pick-and-roll, and Green rolled down the first block. Robertson did not dare to let Zhang Xin go, and directly chased and defended Zhang Xin.

Iguodala knew that he was in a bad state today, so he didn't shoot and broke through directly.

Zhang Xin didn't stop after passing the ball. He slightly left Robertson around David Lee at the elbow and ran to the top of the arc. Iguodala's breakthrough forced the Thunder's defense to shrink. Iguodala saw Zhang Xin's position and passed the ball. Coming out, Zhang Xin didn't hesitate, and before he could stand still, he directly pulled up a three-point shot!

When Robertson arrived, he could only watch the basketball fall into the basket!

Fifth three points!
Zhang Xin chased the score down to 6 points!
