Chapter 273 Surprised by four pairs, shocking the past and shining the present
Back on the court, Durant came to Perkins, who was still in a dazed state, patted him on the shoulder and said something comforting.
"Kendrick, don't take it to heart. You've done a great job, but the guy opposite is too perverted.
Don’t forget that our goal is to win the game, and winning will naturally silence the media.”
Perkins nodded and said, "Kevin, don't worry, I'm not that fragile yet."
"Then let's get back to defense quickly!"
After Durant finished speaking, he quickly retreated to prevent the Warriors from launching a sneak attack on the fast break.
The ball transitions and the Warriors attack.
Billups dribbled to the top of the arc to organize the offense.
Sun Yi ran to a position one step inside the right three-point line and provided an off-ball screen for Ke Lai.
Thompson used the screen to get rid of Sevlosa's defense, stepped out of the three-point line to receive a pass from Billups, and immediately took off to shoot.
A swish sound!
Hollow into the net!
39:31!
"Exquisite teamwork, Sun played so selflessly, this may be the reason why the Warriors are strong!"
In the live commentary box, gold medal commentator Mike Breen praised.
There are very few players in the league who are willing to put down their body and cover for the rookies.
On the court, Harden dribbled forward, came to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Durant.
Adu received the pass, faced Brewer in isolation, shook the ball tentatively and immediately released the ball to start.
Brewer quickly retreated, ready to move laterally to block Durant's breakthrough route.
Durant, who was traveling, immediately stopped the car, stepped sideways to distance himself from Brewer, and hit a mid-range jumper.
Looking back, Sun Yi rushed into the penalty area with the help of a pick-and-roll and completed a one-handed dunk before Collison rushed back to the basket to defend.
It was really difficult for Collison, who was slow to move laterally, to cover this ball.
In comparison, Sun Yi's speed and bullet speed were too fast, giving his opponent no chance to defend.
When it was the Thunder's turn to attack, Durant used his teammates' off-ball screen to misplace Billups and hit a pull-up jumper.
In the next few rounds, the two teams basically took over the offense with the two players with the strongest scoring ability on their respective teams.
The Thunder launched the offense from Durant's point, relying on teammates' pick-and-roll, screen cooperation, and misplaced singles to score.
The Warriors rely on Sun Yi to organize the offense, using his personal abilities to attract defense and drive teammates to score.
In this way, both sides were evenly matched, and no one took advantage.
When the second quarter lasted for about 5 minutes, the head coaches of both teams replaced the main players one after another.
After substitutions and adjustments, the Warriors increased their defensive intensity and strengthened their physical confrontation.
The Warriors suddenly strengthened their defense and changed their rhythm, but it had a miraculous effect.
The Thunder's players failed to adapt and their shooting percentage began to drop.
The Warriors took the opportunity to launch a 7-0 offensive climax, widening the point difference to double digits.
Thunder coach Brooks immediately requested a timeout and called the players to the bench to make adjustments.
After the timeout, the Thunder's offense gradually improved and they strengthened their defense to limit the Warriors' scoring.
After the Thunder strengthened their defense, the Warriors' perimeter offense was the first to suffer.
Curry missed consecutive three-pointers from the outside, and his shooting percentage began to decline.
Teacher Tony was closely followed by Harden and was unable to get a good opportunity to catch the ball. He could only run around on the court like a headless fly.
In fact, Harden's defense is not bad, but this guy is too lazy and needs his teammates to remind him all the time.
Battier and Chandler have no independent offensive ability and cannot pose a threat to the Thunder.
On the other hand, Sun Yi was least affected.
The Thunder really can't find a player who can guard Sun Yi alone.
This guy's personal strength is really strong. He not only has many scoring methods, but also has a wide shooting range.
The Thunder have never thought about completely guarding Sun Yi. As long as other Warriors players can't open the door, the defensive task will be completed.
In this way, the Thunder took advantage of the Warriors' many failed attacks and relied on Durant and Westbrook to score consecutively, narrowing the point difference to single digits again.
Seeing the score, the Warriors immediately made adjustments and changed their style of play, allowing Sun Yi to play singles with the ball.
After seeing the Warriors amplify their moves, the Thunder had no choice but to pray that Sun Yi's hand would not be good.
But tonight Sun Yi's touch was good, and he was accurate every time he hit a single with a low post.
Thunder coach Brooks saw the scene on the court and shook his head helplessly.
Sun Yi's personal ability is so strong that he can't defend him alone, but he doesn't dare to double-team.
He didn't want to see Sun Yi passing the ball to drive his teammates to score and revive the team.
"I don't believe you can always maintain a super high shooting percentage."
Brooks plans to go all the way to the dark side and resolutely implement the "Jordan Rules" against Sun Yi.
Back on the court, Westbrook broke through with the ball to attract the defense and immediately distributed the ball.
In the mid-range area on the right, Yin Baka received the pass and was unguarded. He raised his hand and prepared to throw the basketball in his hand.
At this moment, Sun Yi appeared in front of Yin Baka like a flash, reached out and slapped away the basketball that Yin Baka had raised.
"Sun's assisting defense ability is really terrifying. It should be on par with the peak kg, or maybe even stronger." Brin said in amazement.
On the court, Sun Yi grabbed the out-of-control basketball and pushed forward towards the front court. He caught a glimpse of Mr. Tony who was on the fast break in front of him on the right, and immediately passed the ball over.
Teacher Tony received the pass, rushed to the basket, and scored an easy layup.
Durant rushed back to the basket, picked up the basketball on the floor, quickly exited the baseline, and threw the ball towards the Warriors half court.
Westbrook received the pass near the center circle, quickly broke through into the penalty area, accelerated one step past Chandler who was coming from the defense, rushed to the basket and jumped into the air to complete a one-handed dunk.
Immediately afterwards, Sun Yi relied on Yin Baka in the high post area on the right for a post-up singles, and his fadeaway jump shot was interfered with and failed to hit.
The Thunder protected the backcourt rebounds and launched a defensive counterattack.
Westbrook, who was on the fast break, received a long pass from Perkins and accelerated towards the penalty area.
Chandler retreated to the penalty area to occupy a favorable position in advance and wanted to cause an offensive foul.
After being fooled once, Westbrook would not be fooled again. He took a European step to pass Chandler, rushed into the penalty area from the right, jumped on one foot, and made a pick-up action in the air.
"Russell, watch your back!"
Flying in the air, Westbrook felt that the light around him dimmed, as if he was shrouded in some shadow.
what is happening?!
Westbrook was shocked and couldn't understand what was happening.
Snap!
Sun Yi jumped high from behind Westbrook and slapped the basketball in this guy's hand out of the baseline.
Only then did Westbrook understand what he had been through.
He didn't expect that this guy Sun Yi would engage in sneak attacks.
"I won't let that shameless guy succeed in his sneak attack." Westbrook made up his mind and prepared to receive the serve.
The Thunder sent a baseline kick, and Yin Baka passed it directly to Durant, ignoring Westbrook who ran in front of him.
Durant received the pass and made a pull-up jumper against Battier's defense.
Sun Yi rushed back to the penalty area to grab the rebound, turned and quickly advanced towards the frontcourt, launching a defensive counterattack.
Although the Thunder's players retreated quickly, they were unable to block the charging Sun Yi.
I saw Sun Yi speeding up and rushing into the Thunder penalty area. Faced with the pursuit and interception of Durant and three others, he suddenly broke out of a bloody path and rushed to the basket to complete a one-handed dunk.
In the next game, Durant, Westbrook and others did not hesitate to waste physical energy and worked hard to chase points.
They studied all the Warriors' game videos this season and found that as long as the Warriors lead by double digits in the first half, they will not lose.
Although the Warriors have only played a few games in the new season and there are big errors in big data analysis, the Warriors' offensive firepower in the third quarter is indeed terrifying.
They usually only use the third quarter to completely defeat the game, and are called the "Yong San Madness" by fans.
The Thunder don't want to dig a hole so big in the first half that they can't fill it back in the second half.
In this way, with the full strength of Durant, Westbrook and others, it was difficult for the Warriors to stop it, allowing the Thunder to recover a few points and narrow the point difference to single digits again.
At the end of the half, the score on the big screen was 62 to 56. The Warriors entered the second half with a 6-point lead.
Sun Yi played a dominant performance in the first half of the game, scoring a near-quadruple-double of 26 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists and 8 blocks. He was already very close to the first quadruple-double in his career.
During the halftime break, all members of the Warriors have reached a consensus that no matter what the result of the game is, they will fully support Sun Yi to achieve a quadruple-double.
Opportunities like this are rare. It has been 18 years since the last quadruple-double.
Moreover, in the recorded history of the NBA, only four people have ever achieved a quadruple-double.
It can be said that it is very, very difficult to achieve a quadruple-double.
Therefore, all members of the Warriors do not want Sun Yi to miss this golden opportunity.
At the same time, in the on-site commentary box, Mike Breen and his partner Reggie Miller, who were the on-site commentators, were reviewing the first half of the game.
"In the first half, both teams played their own characteristics and gave us an extremely exciting game."
"I thought the two teams would have a defensive battle, but I didn't expect it to be an offensive battle. What a surprise."
"What also surprised me was Sun's first-half statistics. I had a hunch that he was likely to produce legendary statistics in this game," Brin said excitedly.
Miller naturally understood what Brin meant, and he was extremely looking forward to witnessing the birth of legendary data with his own eyes.
The fans in the auditorium and those in front of the TV also had this idea in mind and took out their mobile phones to call their friends.
This move by the fans made more people pay attention to this mediocre regular season.
After a short 15-minute intermission, the second half of the game began.
As soon as the game started in the third quarter, Curry received a pass from Sun Yi and directly hit Westbrook for a three-pointer.
This is not a wasteful shot, but an assist for Sun Yi.
"Whoosh!"
The basketball hit the net and made a steady hit!
65:56!
Looking back, the Thunder responded immediately.
Durant defied Battier's defense and hit a three-pointer.
In the next few minutes, the Warriors players tried their best to help Sun Yi improve his statistics.
On the offensive end, as long as you receive Sun Yi's pass, you can shoot directly regardless of whether there is any defense.
On the defensive end, he helped Sun Yi get in position to grab defensive rebounds.
As for blocking shots, you can only rely on the guy on the opposite side to "assist" you.
I hope they don’t appreciate praise!
The Thunder set the tone during halftime.
As soon as you see Sun Yi rushing to help defend, pass the ball out immediately and don't force a shot to block him.
In the first few minutes of the third quarter, the Thunder team did very well, but they did not block Sun Yi.
The game time passed quickly under such a strange situation.
After the third quarter, the Warriors led by 9 points entering the fourth quarter.
Sun Yi scored 8 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal in this quarter, but he did not add a single block.
Regardless of the fans at the scene or the fans in front of the TV, this thought suddenly appeared in their minds.
Will Sun Yi not be able to produce a quadruple-double?!
But no matter what, they will insist on watching the fourth quarter of the game.
The inter-section break is over and the fourth quarter begins.
As the game started in the fourth quarter, Durant hit a pull-up jumper against Battier's defense and recovered 2 points.
Immediately afterwards, Curry used the screen to sneak out of the three-point line, received a pass from Sun Yi, and missed the three-pointer.
The Thunder protected the backcourt rebounds and launched a defensive counterattack.
Westbrook breaks through with the ball to attract the defense and distributes the ball to the outside.
Outside the three-point line on the right, Harden received the pass and hit a three-pointer, chasing the score to only 4 points.
In the next round, the Warriors stabilized the rhythm and let Sun Yi play in singles.
With the help of his teammates' cover, Sun Yi faced Harden out of position and directly used a tank-like breakthrough. He crushed Harden all the way to the basket and made a tough two plus one.
Standing on the free throw line, Sun Yi received the referee's pass and steadily hit the extra penalty, stabilizing the situation on the court.
In the next few rounds, the two sides fought back and forth, and the point difference remained within 10 points.
As the game time passed quickly, the Thunder players became a little anxious.
They have not forgotten the goal they set before the game and must win this game.
In this round, Westbrook shot directly from outside the three-point line.
As luck would have it, the basketball bounced and rolled into the basket.
Looking back, the Warriors responded.
Sun Yi broke through with the ball to attract the defense, and assisted Battier who cut inside and hit a layup.
In the next round, Westbrook seemed to have tasted the sweetness and once again shot from outside the three-point line.
Not so lucky this time.
"when!"
The basketball hit the front edge of the basket and bounced out, missing the target!
Under the basket, Perkins used a dirty trick to knock Chandler away and grabbed the offensive rebound. Seeing that no one was guarding him, he raised the ball and prepared to throw it.
"Snapped!"
Sun Yi suddenly came out from the side of Erpang and slapped the ball out of the baseline.
"What a shot! Sun finally found a chance to get his first block in the second half. He was only one step away from a quadruple-double." Brin said excitedly.
Back on the court, the Thunder took a baseline kick.
Durant received the pass and was flanked by Sun Yi and Battier.
When Yin Baka saw Sun Yi coming to cover the defense, he immediately cut to the basket, received Durant's pass, rushed to the basket and completed a two-handed dunk.
In the next few minutes, Sun Yi failed to find a chance to block the shot.
Seeing that the game time was running out, the players from both teams became inexplicably nervous.
The Warriors players were worried that Sun Yi would not be able to complete a quadruple-double and felt nervous.
The Thunder players wanted to overtake the score and win the game.
When the game reached 9 minutes and 50 seconds in the fourth quarter, the historic moment finally arrived.
Westbrook broke through with the ball, entered the penalty area to attract the defense, and then released the ball.
In the left corner, Harden received the pass and immediately jumped up to shoot without making any adjustments.
He believed that the distance was so far that Sun Yi would not have time to rush over and block the shot.
Whatever you think about will happen.
Although Murphy's Law may be late, it will never be absent!
At this moment, Sun Yi, who came quickly with long strides, saw that it was too late. He immediately jumped up on one foot and straightened his arms to hit the basketball.
Snap!
The basketball flying in the air was slapped by Sun Yi and flew out of the sideline.
Sun Yi got his 10th block of the game!
With 38 points, 15 rebounds, 13 assists and 10 blocks, Sun Yi scored a quadruple-double for the first time in his career!
"Congratulations to Sun Yi, for becoming the fifth player in NBA history to record a quadruple-double. He is an omnipotent god tonight!" Reggie Miller stood up excitedly and shouted excitedly.
At the same time, deafening cheers and shouts suddenly erupted from the audience.
Chapter completed!
