Chapter 957

The Thunder allowed Durant to score. Or to put it this way, it would be impossible to avoid him from scoring at all. Even if he was allowed to fight against him at the level of Paulo, it would be impossible. Everyone knows that Durant is afraid of pinched attacks, but the Thunder did not have the energy to pinched him. Once pinched him, the three old Warriors' giants (Chasing Eggs, Curry, and Clay) would be completely alive.

Westbrook dribbled over and distributed it to Xie Kai.

Xie Kai continued to pick-and-roll with Westbrook. The Warriors didn't want Curtain to face Xie Kai and adopted a cover strategy.

Xie Kai made a very fast shot and hit Westbrook!

After Westbrook got the ball, he rushed in and forced his way to the basket, causing Durant to foul!

Wang Meng smiled and sighed: "Westbrook's impact is too strong!"

Yang Yi said: "Westbrook is the way to play. Xie Kai passed the ball well, and it fully shows the opponent's defensive intention. This ball is not a replacement, nor is it not a replacement. As I said, Warriors, you can either change it simply and don't play such delays. It won't work in Xie Kai. Or just hit it, increase rotation, or test Westbrook's 3-pointer."

Westbrook stepped onto the free throw line and made both free throws, and the Thunder took the lead 59:50.

The Warriors attacked, Durant once again fought with Zhujiao, but this time he missed the jump shot!

Xie Kai closed the board and dribbled over by himself. Facing Clay, Crossover accelerated with his right hand, and a Jamal Karauford-style ball jumped over the man, and another lightweight basket picking, hitting the board into the frame-61:50.

The score difference reached 11 points, and the Warriors requested a timeout!

"This... this should be the first time Xie Kai used this action in the official competition, right?" Wang Meng looked at Yang Yi incredibly.

Yang Yi was not completely sure: "Anyway, I have never seen the commentary, and I don't know if it was the first time I used it. This action is really cool. I have seen Crawford use it many times, and I don't know if Xie Kai was inspired to see him use it."

K Mi in the stands almost jumped down and threw Xie Kai into the sky to express their excitement. This is so handsome. It turns out that idols can also play this action! It's so cool, really so handsome!

Warriors coach Steve Cole's face turned pale. Xie Kai can use this kind of move to make a layup, which means he is very relaxed at the moment? He is very confident. The more confident Xie Kai is, the more uneasy he is. It is obvious that we are leading the score, why do you seem to be leading the way?

The only explanation is that Xie Kai doesn't take this lead seriously at all. He has confidence and believes that he has the ability to tie the big score or even overtake.

The 11-point difference is really not too much for a team like the Warriors. Their 3-pointer is too BT. Does this difference feel like they can get it up in one or two minutes. But the problem is that they can't limit the opponent's attack at this moment, especially Xie Kai? It seems that everyone can easily play against anyone? He really has no particularly good results in single defense.

But if you don’t have a slam, let Xie Kai use his passing skills? It will be even more terrifying to bloom more points. The Warriors won’t easily attack? Unless this player’s goal is not good. When they face the Rockets, they don’t even attack Harden and Paul, and they don’t attack James when they play against the Cavaliers. Unless in a special round? In special times, they will use a slam. If Irving is crazy, they will attack because his passing field is not good.

After the timeout came back, the Warriors still did not attack Xie Kai. They increased the rotation speed? When Xie Kai broke into the inside, the accelerated rotation and assisting defense have avoided him easily attacking the frame.

On the Thunder, Paulo reduced one-on-one singles and performed more off-ball movements. The heavy responsibility of playing ball with the ball was left to Xie Kai and Westbrook, the "appetizing combination".

Westbrook played very proactively today, and his mind was not hot, which was very reasonable. "Rason Turtle" is very scary. Just ask the Spurs in the semi-finals of the 2015-16 season.

Westbrook is indeed unstable on the offensive end and is easy to get ahead, so he needs someone who doesn't have to master the offense in full. He can only be the deputy, as a crazy man who scores a goal, and as a part of the singles to perform a rushing basket, he can do a good job.

Curry was tossed by Westbrook and Xie Kai in a row, which also affected his performance on the offensive end. No wonder, being continuously forced by the opponent, consumed a lot of physical strength on the defensive end, and Westbrook was also fighting with hand-to-hand at the offensive end, which consumed a lot of physical energy.

The Thunder's goal is to consume Curry, not to lock him, but to reduce his efficiency. Curry is the tactical core of this Warriors. He is one of the two major organizers of the team (the other is to chase eggs), and the core of the team's passing and control system. "Ku has gravity" is not a joke.

Durant is still scoring continuously, but the Thunder is not afraid of it. Rounds score, can Xie Kai lose to you?

The rhythm of the game was under the control of the Thunder. The Warriors wanted to reach a small climax several times, but they were beaten back by the opponent. In this case, the Warriors, a historically-level offensive team, began to have a shortage of offensive resources, which is also incredible.

The Thunder cut the game into a one-on-one singles match, and finally won this crucial game with overall defense and superstar singles ability.

In the end, the Thunder defeated the Warriors 102:94 at home, won the G2 of the Western Conference Finals, and tied the score 1:1.

Xie Kai performed extremely well in this game, scoring a game-high 43 points, plus 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks, which was the biggest contributor to the team's victory.

This is Xie Kai's 13th NBA playoff career 40+. He is not bad in key games and once again slapped those who despise him and his team in the face.

After the game, Westbrook said in an interview: "When we were behind 0:1, many people said we were done. Kane told me that we would disappoint those who looked down on us. Hahaha, I really want to see the expressions of those who think we lost. Sorry, we won. Now you still think we will be eliminated, so continue to be optimistic about the Warriors!"

Warriors coach Cole said in an interview: "Congratulations to the Thunder for winning this game. We have achieved our goal and we have won a key away game. The next game will be played in Oakland. Let's see what happens when we see!"

The Thunder's victory in this game made them the more favorable side of the series win again. Xie Kai disagreed with ESPN's so-called prediction.

The game is played, not something you can predict easily by computers like you!

Of course ESPN was slapped in the face. In the 2016 finals, the probability of winning the championship when the Cavaliers fell 1:3 was 3%, but the Cavaliers finally won the championship...

So when ESPN is doing this again this season, many experts in the NBA industry no longer catch a cold...
