Chapter 827 No Miracles
Xie Kai faced Klay, and instantly changed direction under his crotch and forced himself to break through on the left!
Clay tried to block Xie Kai's breakthrough route, but unexpectedly, Xie Kai leaned against Clay and pulled the ball from behind, passing Clay with lightning speed and directly attacking into the 3-point line!
Xie Kai had two choices at this time, one was to jump off the middle distance, and the other was to hit Huanglong directly. For him, mid-range and ending at the basket were both good at, so he could decide how to choose based on his opponent's defense.
The Warriors have a 5-square-square lineup, and Green in the inside could not save it, otherwise Xie Kai would be an air relay with Yadan, so players from both wings could only come to assist in defense.
Relatively speaking, the defensive logic of NBA teams is to give priority to protecting the inside line. Unless you are standing outside the 3-point line, you will hesitate to assist in defense.
Even the Rockets' magic ball theory is +3 points at the basket. The basket is always a must-fight for military strategists, because the closer they get to the basket, the higher the theoretical hit rate will be.
Moreover, there is a hidden benefit for the basket offense, that is, there is a certain probability that the opponent will foul, go to the free throw line, and the opponent's defense will interfere with the ball, giving away 2 points for free. Although fouls outside the 3-point line can be 3 times fined, it is hard to find after all.
The Warriors' defensive response is very fast, and it is arranged in advance. Once the defense is assisted, who will come on!
Iguodala is here to help defend because he is Robertson...
In fact, their impression is that Robertson this season is much higher than Jeremy Grant in terms of shooting percentage and shooting percentage in each game.
However, the scene of Robertson being released in the West Finals last year was so impressive. Not only Durant can't forget it, but also the Warriors players and coaching staff members. They don't believe that this guy's outside projection can be transformed in a season.
Xie Kai decisively passed the ball, and Robertson from the right wing corner got a perfect open opportunity.
"Large open space! Does Robertson dare to vote?" Yang Yi shouted.
When Robertson received the ball, the offensive time was still more than 2 seconds left. He had enough time to adjust his moves, but what annoyed him was that his opponent did not think about rotating him, but instead ran to the basket to grab the rebound.
Humph, do you guys believe that I can’t make a shot?
Last season, the West Finals was empty by his opponent because of his inaccurate shooting and eventually lost the series. Although it was not his responsibility, he was also very guilty. Later, Durant left Oakland, which made him feel even more guilty, which prompted him to train crazily during the offseason and practiced open 3-pointers.
This 3-pointer in the right corner was Robertson's most shots in the offseason, and he couldn't even lift his hands even after he was practicing. The reason why he fought so hard was that he didn't want to disappoint everyone.
Robertson adjusted and made a decisive three-pointer. He shot the ball under the gaze of more than 20,000 fans away.
The ball has not been entered yet, but Durant on this side feels that today's Robertson is completely different from last season. Although he made 0 of 3 shots before, he was too confident when he shot 3 points.
The ball hits accurately!
Wow—
105:111, the score difference instantly reached 6 points, and there were 36.7 seconds left before the end of the game.
The Warriors are suspended!
"I've entered, I've entered, I've entered!" Yang Yi exclaimed.
Yu Jia sighed: "I didn't expect Robertson to hit this three-pointer. Xie Kai really dared to pass it, and Robertson really dared to shoot."
After Robertson scored the goal, he was not ecstatic. He was not that kind of personality. However, Westbrook, grinned and jumped on and off the ground excitedly, just like the Tintograph of the Ninja Turtle.
When Durant came out, he deliberately looked at Robertson and felt a lot of emotion. If Robertson had the three-point shooting percentage and confidence this season last season, the Thunder might have entered the finals.
Unfortunately, there is no if, this world is so cruel.
It is quite difficult to chase 6 points in 36.7 seconds, even if the team has super shooters like Splash Brothers and Durant.
The Warriors fans in the stands were afraid to watch it, and some even shivered with nervousness. They couldn't believe that the team with 4 All-Stars would lose to the Thunder who lacked Pickled Pepper. In their opinion, this Thunder is no different from the Thunder in last year's Western Conference Finals. It was nothing more than Durant's replacement for Xie Kai. But Barnes was replaced by Durant!
But no matter how unwilling to accept reality, reality is still in front of you.
Kerr didn't dare to show off anymore. If he didn't score a goal this round, the game would be completely over. Moreover, they could only choose to shoot 3 points, and they also had to use foul tactics to pray that the opponent would not score the free throw.
After the suspension, both sides will appear again.
The Warriors are still the Death Five Little Little, while the Thunder replaced Duck Egg and Moro. Obviously, they replaced the big center and the wing, and were mainly defended against the opponent's outside.
The Warriors serve on the outside, and the Thunder serves with a defensive service, defending them very tightly, but they don't make a foul.
After the Warriors served successfully, the Thunder immediately returned to their position to guard against their own people.
Curry passed the ball to Durant. Durant faced Robertson, took the ball and shot 3 points - a slam!
Green got the rebound!
Green immediately threw it to Clay in the bottom corner!
Clay jump shot - blocked by Xie!
The ball did not go out of the sideline! Xie opened twice and grabbed the ball, and Clay could only make a foul!
Looking at Clay's dejected look, the Warriors fans knew that the situation was over.
Yang Yi in CCTV studio sighed: "There is no miracle, no miracle..."
Yu Jia also sighed: "I really didn't expect that the Warriors, who had defended the entire game, finally got a slid attack!"
Yang Yi nodded: "They were also gambled this ball, because Xie Kai had completely passed Clay, and it is very likely to cause damage if he entered. He scored himself, killed or killed, or scored Adams, and assisted in defense and let go of Robertson."
There are only 24.2 seconds left in the game, and Xie Kai is about to go to the free throw line.
Xie Kai made a steadily free throw under the interference of the bottom line fans!
Xie Kai made both free throws, and the Thunder led by 8 points with 105:113.
Although Curry scored a 3-pointer in the final stage, Westbrook then made both free throws, completely killing the game.
In the end, the Thunder defeated the Warriors 108:115 away and avenged the revenge of the last match that they lost.
Xie Kai performed very well in this game. He scored a game-high 56 points, plus 6 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 steals, 3 blocks, and only made 1 mistake. His performance was perfect.
