Chapter 319 A strong start

May 30, Oakland, Oracle Arena. The Western Conference Finals G1 between the Warriors and Thunder officially started.

After the pre-match warm-up activities, the starting lineups of both teams were displayed on the big screen. The Warriors starting lineup: Curry, Tony Allen, Sun Yi, David Lee, Chandler.

Thunder starting lineup: Westbrook, Seflosa, Durant, Yin Baka, Perkins.

After the starting players from both sides arrived in the center circle, the referee blew the whistle and threw the ball high into the air... The Western Conference Finals officially began!

Chandler took off hard, hit the basketball first and moved back to the backcourt, giving the Warriors the opportunity to attack first.

Curry dribbled the ball quickly forward, and when he came to the frontcourt, he saw that the Thunder team had already set up a good defense, and immediately called a pick-and-roll.

As soon as he ran outside the three-point line, Chandler understood it and immediately ran over to set up a pick-and-roll. Curry used the pick-and-roll to get rid of Westbrook's defense and threw directly.

Perkins, who came in for defense, was half a beat too late to interfere in time. Unfortunately, the basketball bounced out of the frame and failed to hit!

Under the basket, Yin Baka occupied a favorable position to block David Lee, creating opportunities for his teammates to protect backcourt rebounds.

But he didn't expect that his teammate's lack of strength gave the No. 9 on the opposite side an opportunity. Sun Yi suddenly used his strength to push away Durant, rushed to the basket like lightning, and used his legs to force himself.

He jumped up...with a "Peng" sound!

Sun Yi completed a powerful two-hand dunk! The audience instantly became excited, and the fans shouted the MVP slogan in unison.

"Sun Yi grasped the opportunity very well. He got a head start and the pressure came to the Thunder." In the sports channel commentary hall, Director Zhang, who was the guest commentator, said vividly.

"If the Thunder don't solve Sun Yi's big problem, it will be very difficult to win. Let's see how they will deal with Sun Yi." Yu Jia added.

On the court, the Thunder's first offense was played by Durant. Facing Sun Yi's defense, Du Xiaoshuai felt the suffocating defensive pressure and suddenly retreated.

But when he saw the fiery eyes of his teammates, he could only bite the bullet. The arrow was on the string and he had to shoot!

Durant was very confident in his height and wingspan and did not think Sun Yi was capable of blocking shots. So Du Xiaoshuai started to take action. After a few feints, he directly pulled up and faced Sun Yi's defense.

The ball was thrown.

He is so confident in standing up singles! There was a snap! Sun Yi, who jumped high, slapped the rising basketball firmly... The fans in the audience and the fans in front of the TV suddenly gasped.

A breath of cool air has made a small contribution to global warming.

On the court, Sun Yi landed smoothly, then immediately rushed forward to chase the out-of-control basketball and issued a fast break command.

After hearing this, Curry and others quickly came to their senses and turned around to participate in the fast break. At the same time, the Thunder players also reacted and turned around to defend.

Sun Yi would not miss such a good opportunity. He picked up the basketball on the floor, walked to the right side of the three-point line, immediately picked it up, and threw the basketball in his hand.

Hit a three-point chase! 0:5!

"Good shot! This attack and defense showed Sun Yi's comprehensiveness. He is indeed a hot man!" Yu Jia explained.

"From this goal, we can see that Sun Yi has a strong desire to attack tonight and is in a very hot state. This is not the performance he should have after four or five days of rest. It shows how hard he usually trains. This is worthy of our young domestic players."

Study." Director Zhang praised without hesitation.

The ball changed and the Thunder attacked. Durant continued to hit Sun Yi with his stick without a head, and signaled Westbrook to handle the ball himself.

Westbrook was not humble and immediately called Perkins to play pick-and-roll. Seeing Perkins running out, Chandler did not follow him, but stayed inside to guard the penalty area.

Perkins is still of some use in the penalty area. When he is outside the penalty area, he can be released to shoot. Westbrook used the pick-and-roll to get rid of Teacher Tony's pursuit and quickly rushed into the three-point line. Seeing that Chandler retreated into the penalty area, he did not rush forward.

A no-brainer challenge, just stop the zombie jumper directly.

Teacher Tony, who was chasing after him, tried his best to interfere, but the effect was minimal. The basketball hit the front of the basket and bounced into the basket.

2:5! The Thunder achieved zero breakthroughs and gradually got back on track. The Warriors would not give the Thunder any time to breathe, and a stormy offensive swept over them.

Curry used the screen to get rid of the defense, quickly ran to the left three-point line, received Sun Yi's pass, and hit a three-pointer.

When it was the Thunder's turn to attack, Westbrook repeated his old tricks, but failed to get rid of Teacher Tony's death coil and passed the ball out.

Seflosa caught the ball from outside the three-point line and shot directly against Curry's defense. There was a bang!

The basketball hit the side of the basket and bounced out. In the penalty area, Chandler struggled to grab the defensive rebound, found Sun Yi immediately, and passed the ball over.

After receiving the ball, Sun Yi quickly dribbled forward. When he came to the frontcourt, he found that the Thunder had not organized an effective defense. He immediately accelerated into the three-point line and made an emergency stop mid-range jumper.

On the bench of the Thunder, head coach Brooks almost jumped out of anger when he saw what was happening on the court. These guys really didn't take what I said before the game at heart!

Brooks came to the sidelines and roared towards the court: "Defend! Defend me!" Westbrook, who was dribbling forward, immediately cheered up when he heard the coach's roar and nodded repeatedly to show his understanding.

When the Thunder attacked, Westbrook did not mess around and made tactical gestures. Durant and others began to move, creating scoring opportunities for his teammates.

Seflosa took advantage of Yin Baka's off-ball screen and quickly cut towards the basket. Westbrook, who was controlling the ball at the top of the arc, hit the ball and passed it over.

After receiving the ball, Sefolosha flew directly for a layup... Bang! Chandler rushed back to the penalty area to defend and directly fanned the ball out of the baseline.

The Thunder sent a baseline kick. Durant came out to receive the pass. Seeing that he could not get rid of Sun Yi's defense, he waved for a pick-and-roll.

Perkins immediately ran forward and blocked Sun Yi sideways, creating a scoring opportunity for Durant. Durant used the screen to break through to the mid-range area on the right, stopped and took off to shoot.

There was a swish! The basketball went hollow into the net and hit the target steadily! 4:10! Looking back, the Warriors returned the favor.

Curry used the pick-and-roll to break into the three-point line to attract the defense, and then passed the ball to the center. After completing the pick-and-roll, he cut to the basket and completed a two-handed dunk after receiving the pass.

Immediately afterwards, the Thunder made a passing error and the Warriors launched a defensive counterattack. After completing the steal, Sun Yi quickly ran in, attracted the defense and passed the ball to the outside.

In the left corner, Curry, who was already ready to catch the ball, received the pass and jumped directly to shoot.

"Whoa!" The basketball hit the net and hit the ball steadily! The audience was excited again, and cheers and shouts resounded throughout the audience.

Thunder coach Brooks saw this situation and immediately requested a timeout. Who can withstand such fierce offensive firepower!
Chapter completed!
