Chapter 320 Defeat the Thunder
After returning from the timeout, the Thunder changed their defensive strategy against Sun Yi.
With Sevlosa as the main defender and Durant as the assistant, Yin Baka and Perkins acted according to the opportunity. As long as Sun Yi dared to rush into the penalty area, he would immediately hit him with a double ghost shot.
It can be said that the Thunder team tried their best to deal with Sun Yi.
Such a targeted defense is really a helpless move.
If Sun Yi is allowed to completely open up, the Thunder will really be unable to play.
In the next game, the Thunder successfully implemented the "Sun Yi Rule", and the effect was immediate, greatly limiting Sun Yi's scoring.
After containing the Warriors' offense, the Thunder began to counterattack.
But just when they were full of confidence and chasing points, the Warriors changed their style of play by not practicing martial ethics, engaging in sneak attacks.
This change caught the Thunder off guard, and the point-chasing plan was declared bankrupt before it was implemented.
Since the Thunder focused most of their defensive attention on Sun Yi, other Warriors players got good scoring opportunities.
David Lee, who had played fairly well in the first two rounds, suddenly broke out and made waves inside the Thunder, getting everything he wanted.
For this sudden situation, the Thunder had no response plan at all before the game.
They never expected that David Lee, who had no presence in the first two rounds of the series, would be so fierce.
Isn’t this guy led by Sun Yi?!
Wouldn’t it be nice to just lie down and win?!
Why do you have to be the thigh yourself?
The Thunder players understand a truth from this: there are no empty ones under the famous name, and the Warriors do not support unknown people!
With the explosion of David Lee, the Warriors once again took an absolute advantage and instantly opened the point difference to double digits.
Durant, Westbrook and others wanted to chase points, but were powerless.
The Warriors' defense is so strong that they have to work hard to score.
Just like that, after the first quarter, the score displayed on the big screen was 20-32, and the Warriors had a 12-point lead.
The Warriors were able to take the lead in the first quarter, and David Lee was indispensable.
In the first quarter of the game, David Lee scored 14 points and 3 rebounds, setting a new personal playoff single-quarter scoring record.
As the team's basic player, Sun Yi scored 13 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists in the first quarter.
If he keeps playing like this, a triple-double will be a piece of cake for him.
In comparison, Thunder star Durant didn't play well.
In the first half of the first quarter, he encountered Sun Yi's death entanglement, and in the second half of the quarter, he encountered Battier's eye-sealing technique.
Being targeted like this, it is really difficult to perform.
After the first quarter, Durant only scored a pitiful 6 points!
Such a poor performance cannot be compared with the "Reaper" who scored like a man in the first round of the series.
In the next three quarters of the game, Durant will use practical actions to prove his strength.
Not long after, the inter-section break ended and the second quarter began.
The lineup sent by the Warriors is: Billups, Clay, Sun Yi, A Lian, Whiteside.
The players on the Thunder's side are: Fisher, Harden, Durant, Collison, and Yin Baka.

Using double screens to get rid of Sun Yi's defense, he directly made a pull-up jumper after receiving the pass.
Ke Lai, who quickly ran over to change defense, rushed forward to interfere.
The basketball hits the board and bounces into the basket.
It was the Warriors' turn to attack. Billups dribbled to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Sun Yi.
After receiving the ball, Sun Yi broke through like a tank, rushed into the penalty area, attracted the defense, jumped up and passed the ball to the right corner.
Ke, who was ready to catch the ball, received the pass and immediately took off to shoot without making any adjustments...
An open three-pointer!
"This is how the game should be played. Both sides are fighting back and forth. Only this kind of game is exciting!" Director Zhang commented.
In the next few rounds, both sides started attacking each other, and the score kept rising.
For the Thunder, after Durant throws, Harden throws, Harden finishes throwing, Durant throws...
The Warriors went the opposite way and played as a team. Sun Yi relied on his personal ability to attract the defense and assist his teammates to score.
Such a wonderful and exciting battle made the fans hooked!
The good times did not last long. When the official timeout came back in the second quarter, the two sides once again started a defensive battle.
The Warriors changed their defensive formation, with Sun Yi playing power forward and Chandler guarding the basket.
On the outside, Curry, Clay, and Battier or Brewer perform unlimited defense changes.
After the Warriors made this change, the Thunder immediately turned off the power and became unable to play.
Westbrook, Harden, Durant and others tried to hit the basket many times, but failed.
The basket guarded by Sun Yi and Chandler is simply a life-limited zone.
Westbrook and others rushed to the basket. In addition to passing the ball, they made pass errors and had little chance of scoring.
Unable to open up the inside, the Thunder tried to attack from the outside, but still failed to open up the offense.
Although Curry's defensive ability is quite satisfactory and rookies can be fickle in defense, their defensive tasks are very simple. They just follow people and interfere when they are shooting.
If a Thunder player rushes into the penalty area, it will naturally be handled by Sun Yi.
In this way, the Thunder team could not open up the inside and outside lines, and the offense was paralyzed.
The Warriors seized the opportunity and widened the point difference in one fell swoop.
Sun Yi acted as a sexy dealer to deal cards online, delivering "ammunition" to Curry, Clay and others, leaving the Thunder with no ability to fight back.
The Thunder players finally felt the powerlessness that the Lakers players felt back then.
It's not that the Lakers are too weak, but that the Warriors are too strong!
Who can withstand this Kaka's indiscriminate shooting?
Thunder coach Brooks called two or three timeouts in succession to no avail.
The Warriors' perimeter has been completely opened up. If God blocks God, he will kill God, and if Buddha blocks Buddha, it will be useless to anyone!
Curry, Kelai and others are already so excited that they can decisively score three-pointers even if there is someone defending in front of them.
At the same time, Sun Yi carried out sneak attacks on the outside from time to time, launching cold arrows...
With a wave of three-pointers in the second half of the second quarter, the Warriors played a wave of offense they are good at and defeated the Thunder in one fell swoop.
According to industry insiders, the Thunder have little hope of fighting back to win the final victory.
It can be said that the outcome of this game has basically been finalized.
Just like that, the half game ended, and the score displayed on the big screen was 45 to 63.
Chapter completed!
