Super Heavy Artillery

v3 Chapter 501: Laughter

An Luo made a key three-pointer and successfully helped the Thunder take the lead. However, the Warriors did not completely lose hope of qualifying for the Finals.

The Thunder's offense was smooth this time, and Donovan's tactics were executed very well by the players. After the opportunity came out, they did not delay any more. Although they scored the ball, they also left the other side with 2.7 seconds. Not much, but enough for the Warriors to make a shot.

Chesapeake Energy Arena fans are still celebrating the victory happily, but people like Donovan and Anro can't let go of that breath at the moment! Their hearts are still tight. As long as the referee does not blow the final whistle, the game is not over.

The current situation is that the Thunder only lead by only 1 point! The Warriors can kill the game with one shot. And in the Warriors lineup, there are many such players. Curry, Durant, Thompson, Iguodala, and even every Warriors player.

This is a huge challenge for the Thunder defensive end. The stars of this league are often able to score the most unlikely goals in the most crisis. Donovan himself has several such players, so he is particularly cautious.

Starting from defending the ball from the sideline to restricting ball holders, Donovan made the most detailed arrangements. In the inadequate pause time, the ability to see the situation clearly and come up with countermeasures shows Donovan's ability. However, the Warriors' subsequent performance still surprised Donovan in a cold sweat.

It was Green who was in charge of the serve. Under the strict defense of the Thunder players, he keenly found Durant, who briefly threw off the Thunder defense, and decisively passed the ball to the opponent's hands.

The moment Durant received the basketball, Donovan was shocked. In his defensive strategy, Curry and Durant are the two most critical points. Although Curry missed a key ball before, but the opponent's ability is there, I am afraid that any coach in this league will not dare to relax Curry's defense. And Durant, compared to Curry, is more worrying. After all, Durant's performance at critical moments is stronger than Curry.

"Double-team over!"

Donovan's reminder was exactly the same as An Luo thought. At the moment Green threw the ball away, he understood that the opponent handed Durant the last shot. After all, there is only a moment in time, and it is impossible and unnecessary for Durant to pass the ball to others on the court.

In the end, Durant threw the ball. After catching the ball on the right side of the three-point line, he didn't do any more and chose to shoot. Facing Paul George and An Luo who flew over, he didn't panic. Turn around to face the hoop, take off, shoot...

This series is a rare encounter in a century. Of the seven games, four of the games are based on the last-minute lore. Except for the tiebreaker, both sides have made lore shots before and both have missed lore shots. However, at such a moment, the fans, players, coaches and even those watching the excitement are very nervous. Even though, many people don't care who wins or loses.

Fortunately, this time, Thunder was favored by God. Durant's basketball seemed to have a straight arc, but finally hit the front of the basket.

At that moment, most people in the Chesapeake Energy Arena let out a long sigh of relief. When Paul George and Anlo failed to organize Durant, when the basketball flew straight to the rim, these Thunder fans were worried.

Afterwards, the referee blew his whistle for the last time and made the end of the game. The score of this game was also fixed at 122:123, with the away team ahead and the home team behind.

Many people have thought that the two sides will end this series in this way, but when everything really happened, it was still a bit embarrassing.

The Warriors fell again in the Western Conference Finals. They have had two championships in three years, and the death lineup made all the teams talk about it. After the Cavaliers led by LeBron James reversed and lost the finals, they retained the core lineup of 73 wins and ushered in Durant. However, such a four-star warrior has only won one championship. This season, they risked signing Cousins. They thought they could regain the championship, but once again fell at the feet of the Thunder!

Westbrook and An Luo hugged each other. An Luo, who made the winning goal, became the hero of Oklahoma. It is not the first time he has scored a lore goal, but it is of great significance to lore his opponent in the tiebreaker.

"Man! You did a great job! You saved all of us... You are really great..." Westbrook said excitedly to An Luo while rubbing his head.

Indeed, as Westbrook said, if An Luo didn't make that three-pointer, the Thunder would change with a two-point difference and use foul tactics to make the final draw. However, that kind of tactics is like a mirror image, theoretically there are possibilities, but in reality it is difficult to achieve the final victory.

Losing the tiebreaker means losing the entire season. At that time, many of the problems that have been suppressed will blow out, and the winning lineup that has finally been built is very likely to fall apart.

But winning is another matter.

Thunder fans at the Chesapeake Energy Arena began to celebrate. Their team once again ascended to the top of the West, which is indeed something to celebrate.

At the beginning of the playoffs, it was not the Thunder but the Warriors who were more optimistic. Robertson's absence makes everyone very worried about the Thunder's defense. The mediocrity of the bench players is another issue. At that time, the five-star warrior was so powerful that no one could stop it.

But things are fickle, and injuries make the Warriors one less general, and they also make the changes they made when the efficiency of the death lineup decreases. However, the Thunder also suffers from this problem. Not only Robertson, but Adams was also under tremendous pressure during the absence. Fortunately, Adams finally returned to the game.

Although such a result is very unacceptable for Warriors players, competitive sports always has his cruel side. It is indeed a pity to lose the game. It is even more a pity to lose the entire series before the finals, but there is no tie in the basketball game, and every game must be divided. Even if it is three or four overtime, the winner must be divided.

Now the Thunder can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Their road to defending is only the last level left.
