Deng Fang moved one quarter of the Splash Brothers' game to the third quarter, and Yong San crazy came immediately!
The Splash Brothers, who are full of energy and full of blood, are unstoppable. They can hit all kinds of unreasonable three-pointers. Coupled with the cooperation of Green, Barnes, and Tucker, the speed of the death five points is quite terrifying!
The Nuggets play at a fast pace, but the Warriors are even faster!
The Nuggets have a lot of players, but the Warriors have even more players!
In fact, the Nuggets only have eight or nine players who are truly capable of playing 20 minutes, while almost everyone on the Warriors side can play 30 minutes!
This is the biggest difference between the two teams!
This is also the reason why Deng Fang dared to take the initiative to reduce the Splash Brothers' time to one section.
With the Splash Brothers around, the Warriors' offense is invincible. Without the Splash Brothers around, the Warriors' defense is just as impenetrable!
Soon, at the end of the third quarter, the Warriors' lead reached 38 points!
The game lost its suspense again.
In the fourth quarter, both teams came off the bench and the game was played very quickly.
Although it was at home in Denver, and although the game was no longer in suspense, the shouts of "Curry MVP" still sounded from the stands from time to time!
There is no way, Denver fans are completely conquered!
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Nuggets 136:97, eliminated their opponents 4:0 in the series, and took the lead in advancing to the Western Conference Finals.
The Nuggets suffered disastrous defeats in these four games. Even if Deng Fang took the initiative to give up several main players, they still had no ability to fight back.
This is a gap in strength that is beyond human control.
To be fair, this Nuggets team is pretty good and can still compete, but when they met the Warriors, the gap was too big.
Of course, this Nuggets have a natural shortcoming, that is, they do not have a superstar to lead the team.
A civilian team that focuses on offense and average defense is destined to not go far.
Even without the Warriors and Deng Fang, the upper limit of this Nuggets team is the Western Conference Finals, which will still have to rely on some luck.
…
At the same time, the other three games in the conference semifinals also ended.
The Thunder learned their lesson after losing the last game and strengthened their defense in this game. The Spurs' offense was in trouble.
However, the Spurs' defense is equally good, and the Thunder's offense is equally difficult.
Both teams have very low shooting percentages, turnovers vs. mistakes, iron vs. iron!
Until the last minute, the score difference between the two teams was still within three points.
In the end, Ginobili hit two three-pointers at critical moments, directly killing the game!
The Spurs also won a crucial victory at home. The series between the two teams became 3:1. The Spurs were in a good situation.

In the West, Westbrook finally found the feeling of mid-range shooting. He hit consecutive zombie jumpers and made 17 of 26 shots. He scored a team-high 38 points, 8 assists and 13 rebounds, leading the team to win at home.
Came to victory.
As I said before, the key point of this series is not Durant or the GDP combination, but Westbrook.
This is not to say that Westbrook is better than Durant, but that he is unpredictable.
Durant also has abnormalities sometimes, but those are special circumstances. Similarly, the GDP combination will not perform perfectly every game, but abnormalities are also rare.
But that's not necessarily the case with Westbrook. Sometimes he's awesome, sometimes he's awesome. Even Thunder coach Westbrook doesn't know what kind of state Westbrook will be in this game!
Once he becomes a god, it doesn’t matter how good his GDP combination is. Once he becomes a god, it’s also useless for Durant to become a god!
So the Thunder's victory or defeat all depends on Westbrook.
Westbrook played well in this game, and the Thunder won. The series score between the two teams became 2:3, with the Thunder trailing by one game.
