Chapter 475 Advance to the finals again, marching towards 2 consecutive championships
After the timeout, Curry went down to rest, and Zhou Yang stayed on the court.
This is another unexpected substitution.
Seeing that Curry was not there, the Thunder immediately double-teamed Zhou Yang unscrupulously.
However, what they didn't expect was that Thomas Jr. broke out.
Anyone who is familiar with Thomas Jr. knows that he played the highlight moment of his career with the Celtics and once entered the top ten of the MVP list.
For a player who is less than 1 meters tall, it is a miracle.
And he has a lot of shooting methods and is very accurate.
Now as a rookie, Thomas Jr. has shown his potential.
When Zhou Yang was double-teamed and Curry went off to rest again, Thomas Jr. was possessed by Mitsui Shou, and he made a shot.
5 of 4 shots!
All of a sudden, Thunder was blinded!
The Warriors players were so excited that they all rushed over to give Thomas Jr. a high-five. Zhou Yang happily lifted Thomas Jr. up.
This is the atmosphere in the Warriors' team, and everyone has the potential to shine.
As long as his hands are warm, Zhou Yang will cover you without hesitation and open up space.
The point difference widened to 11 points.
Brooks didn't call a timeout at all. He felt that the Warriors were all in excellent condition today, and they really couldn't beat them.
Mainly the Thunder's second junior, Dewey, has performed very well.
Brooks made a substitution, replaced Westbrook, replaced Harden, and fought again.
The Duha combination is even better in terms of offensive changes, and the Warriors players also have a deep understanding.
When Zhou Yang saw Harden coming up, he immediately double-teamed him and didn't give him a chance to handle the ball.
Although Harden was prepared, it was still difficult.
Because of his mediocre off-ball ability, after the ball was played early, he stood on the side, barely moving.
And Durant's offense is not so easy under Tony Allen's defense.
Coupled with the ubiquitous Zhou Yang, helping to defend everywhere, so the Thunder did not play the offensive it should have.
On the Warriors side, Zhou Yang and Thomas Jr. have become more and more in harmony with each other.
Although Thomas Jr. took fewer shots after being taken care of, his speed advantage is still obvious.
He kept rushing into the penalty area, making Ibaka exhausted and constantly assisting defense.
Most of Thomas' passes to Livingston and Butler were converted into assists.
On the contrary, Zhou Yang didn't have much role on the offensive end. He only played the role of containment, because no one dared to let Zhou Yang go, even if he was strolling on the court.
After three quarters, the two teams scored 94:85, with the Warriors leading by 9 points.
This point difference is not big, Thunder fans are still having illusions.
But anyone who knows football knows that the Thunder is no longer good.
Curry only played more than 6 minutes in the third quarter. He will appear in the fourth quarter, and Zhou Yang is a guy with unlimited physical strength. The Splash Brothers will definitely close the game.
Sure enough, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Zhou Yang sat down to rest first, and Curry appeared on the stage.
After Curry appeared on the court, the Warriors' substitute suddenly resorted to double-screen tactics.
Butler and Turiaf blocked Foye and Harden, Curry quickly moved laterally and made a three-pointer.
Although it is only a small space, it is enough for Curry to make a shot.
Swish!
A three-pointer came up, and the hope of the Thunder fans to chase points was extinguished again.
Although Harden fed Collison a big pie by breaking through the ball, Curry turned around and also made a breakthrough, allowing Livingston to hit a two-pointer.
Maybe it was too long of rest time below, so Curry was full of energy and played very passionately.
The defensive end is also very active.
This made the Thunder bench players led by Harden very uncomfortable.
After playing 4 minutes in the fourth quarter, the point difference has widened to 15 points.
In desperation, Brooks could only make the last struggle and replaced all the main players.
The old Nelson waved his flag and replaced Zhou Yang and other main players, which clearly meant to take away the victory of the game.
After all, this is the Thunder's home court. Even if they lose, the Thunder players have to give the fans an explanation.
So after Durant came up, he also played fiercely, and he wanted to show an attitude!
Swish!
Durant threw a three-pointer and hit it!
However, the Thunder did not continue this feeling. Looking back, Zhou Yang assisted Curry to make a three-pointer, and the point difference remained the same.
In the next few rounds, the Thunder attacked wildly, and the Warriors withstood the pressure.
With more than 2 minutes left in the game, the Warriors still led by 13 points.
The Thunder attacked again, and Brooks thought about it, and if the attack failed, he surrendered.
Durant received the ball, passed Tony Allen, and made a three-pointer from the right sideline.
Boom!
Out of the basket.
Chandler protected the rebound and made a long pass to Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang rode through the barrier alone, hit the basket, and dunked!
The point difference returned to 15 points.
More than 1 minutes left.
Brooks shook his head, called a timeout, and replaced all the main players.
All the Thunder players were pale, knowing that the situation was over.
Old Nelson didn't make a substitution, he let the main Warriors play the whole game.
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Thunder 117:105 and won G6 in the Western Conference Finals.
In this case, the Warriors defeated the Thunder with a big score of 4:2 and advanced to the finals!
The uncrowned champion once again stood on the stage of the finals.
Zhou Yang played 35 minutes today and scored 30 points, and Curry played 34 minutes and scored 32 points.
Durant played 42 minutes and scored 38 points, Westbrook scored 23 points and Harden 17 points.
In fact, the core players of both sides played well, but Zhou Yang obviously did a better job in motivating his teammates.
So the Warriors had the last laugh.
After the game, Durant and other Warriors players celebrated the victory and walked towards Zhou Yang.
Looking at Durant's expression, Zhou Yang really felt a little distressed, but there was no way, competitive sports are so cruel.
If you want to go to the final victory, you have to step on the corpses of competitors one by one, without any mercy.
"Brother Yang, you are No.1 in the league now, and no one has done better than you." Durant praised sincerely.
Zhou Yang knows that Durant is not a person who likes smooth talk, this is all from his heart.
So he was not overly humble, but just kept encouraging Durant.
"Kevin, you are also great. We are not much different this year. I think we both need to keep the lineup and continue next year!"
Durant smiled wryly. He probably knew in his heart that some teammates might leave during the rest period.
"I hope so. If you can win the championship again this year, then our hopes for next year will be even slimmer!"
"No! You are all the best players, as long as you add more tactics, you can still compete for the championship..."
After Zhou Yang finished speaking, he felt a little regretful.
Because if you say this, you may offend Brooks. After all, if you say that the team has no tactics, the coach will definitely be angry.
Fortunately, Durant is not a person who likes to provoke troubles, so he changed the subject.
