Chapter 643: Easily Win

"Russell Westbrook broke through and rushed to the basket, Tyson covered up, well done, and Young grabbed the rebound."

"Kirk broke through and dribbled after blocking, and the ball was distributed. Yang received the ball from outside the three-point line and shot... With a fake move, Yang broke through and rushed into the paint, passed the ball, and Tyreke had a chance from the outside. The three-pointer was hit!"

"Kevin Durant ran to catch the ball and missed a shot. Tyson grabbed the backboard. Tyreke launched a fast break. Hey, he was stopped. The ball passed outside Kirk and the three-pointer... hit!

"

Of course Durant knows that the playoffs and the regular season are two completely different events, but he can only experience the difference firsthand after entering. He has played against the Warriors several times in the regular season, but he has never discovered the Warriors' defense.

To be so tough.

After the Warriors' defense suddenly strengthened in the middle of the first quarter, Yang Shuai also began to step up and score. A 10:0 scoring spurt allowed the Warriors to directly widen the point difference to 13 points.

The Thunder slowly stabilized the situation after two consecutive timeouts, but the Warriors' offense remained stable, which prevented the Thunder from finding a chance to narrow the score.

Throughout the first half, the Thunder were in the stage of chasing points, and until the end of the first half, they still failed to close the point difference to less than 10 points.

At 43:54, at the end of the first half, the Warriors still had an 11-point advantage, which made Charles Barkley in the commentary box proudly shout: "The Oklahoma City Thunder obviously don't know what to expect in the playoffs."

How strong the Warriors will be in the game. It seems that they are completely unprepared. Of course, there is a big gap in the strength of the two teams. The first half of the game may be a true portrayal. Kevin Durant's first playoff game

It's obviously not a good thing to meet the Warriors during the playoffs. I hope he can enjoy this short playoff journey."

In Barkley's words, the Thunder did not have much ability to resist the Warriors. Durant obviously did not agree with this. Even in this game, he was unwilling to admit that the team had a high possibility of losing.

"Ouch!" At the beginning of the second half, Durant forced a three-pointer under Yang Shuai's defense. After completing the goal, he clenched his fists and shouted.

Following Durant, Yang Shuai raised the corner of his mouth slightly. Of course he understood Durant's fighting spirit. Since entering the league, in addition to winning the honor of Rookie of the Year in the first season, Durant has been

Lant was pinned down by Yang Shuai. When he entered the same year, Yang Shuai had already won honors, but Durant had not yet received any honors.

No one is willing to be under pressure, and the same goes for Durant, and this round of playoffs is a good opportunity for Durant to prove himself.

"It's a pity that you are destined to become a tragic figure in the same era as me." He thought proudly in his heart. After reaching the half court, Yang Shuai motioned for Hinrich to pass the ball.

After catching the ball, he quickly stepped forward with his right foot. Yang Shuai was making a fake move to break through. Durant couldn't help but take half a step back. At this time, Yang Shuai's foot was quickly retracted, and the ball was here.

time to lift.

"Shoot?" Durant jumped quickly when he saw Yang Shuai's action. Yang Shuai was more lethal than him from beyond the three-point line. Of course he knew this.

"Oops!" Jumping in the air, he found that Yang Shuai did not take off. Durant immediately shouted in his heart. What made him feel even worse was that when he started to fall, Yang Shuai had already moved towards him.

.

Durant wanted to hide, but how could he hide from Yang Shuai who wanted to be intimate with him in the air? As he watched Yang Shuai fall into his arms, Durant soon heard the whistle from the referee.

Rings.

After tricking Durant into jumping, Yang Shuai also jumped up and leaned towards the opponent. The referee's whistle sounded, but Yang Shuai did not stop shooting. He tried hard to maintain the balance of his body in the air.

After Lant had landed, Yang Shuai pushed his wrist hard and shot.

"Whoa!" Hollow hit!

"Oh! 3+1! At the beginning of the second half, Yang completed a 3+1! Hey, Kevin, you were fooled!"

Standing in front of Yang Shuai, Durant put his hands on his waist. Although there was no helpless expression on his face, he felt helpless in his heart. He guessed the beginning but not the end. He thought that Yang Shuai would foul him.

But he didn't guess that Yang Shuai could still hit the ball.

Grinning at Durant, Yang Shuai slowly walked to the free throw line. Durant is not a director, and this is not acting. There is no reason for Yang Shuai to act according to the opponent's script.

"Whoa!" The free throw was hit steadily, 46:58, and the point difference widened to 12 points.

The Thunder launched another attack, and Durant once again received the basketball, but this time he failed to find an opportunity to attack. Yang Shuai pressed hard against his side, putting tremendous pressure on him, and the ball was passed by him.

In the hands of Westbrook outside the three-point line.

After receiving the ball, Westbrook started quickly and dribbled to the basket. Durant was the Thunder's strongest point, but he had no advantage against the Warriors because Yang Shuai was more abnormal than him. At this time, Westbrook became

The Thunder's most advantageous point was revealed, and Westbrook was also very clear about his own advantages, so he beat Hinrich in isolation again and again.

This time, Westbrook encountered resistance. Hinrich was firmly on his side, making his breakthrough difficult. Seeing that he was about to rush into the three-second zone with one step left, Westbrook suddenly accelerated.

As if he had expected it, Hinrich actually accelerated at this moment. Westbrook picked up the ball but did not get the easy layup opportunity he imagined. Although Hinrich did not

However, he still clings tightly to the interference.

"Bang!" Westbrook was so focused on the confrontation with Hinrich that he didn't realize that Chandler had retreated to the basket at this time. He didn't suddenly wake up until the ball in his hand was patted down.

Although the Thunder's offense failed, they retreated very quickly this time. Hinrich picked up the basketball but failed to complete the fast break. He rushed to half court and was about to put his foot down when he suddenly discovered that Yang Shuai was already on the left.

Pressing Durant sideways, he rushed towards the basket and quickly passed the ball over.

"Double team! Stop him!" Thunder coach Brooks shouted loudly on the sidelines.

It was Perkins who stepped forward to assist Durant in defending. Perkins knew Yang Shuai's ability very well, not because the two had been with the Celtics before, but because he had seen too much in last year's finals.

.

The dribbling right hand suddenly retracted, and Yang Shuai dribbled the ball under his crotch and handed the ball to his left hand. At this time, he turned his back to Durant and Perkins, just when Durant and Perkins thought they had blocked him.

When Yang Shuai arrived, a burst of exclamation suddenly erupted from the scene.

Turning around, Yang Shuai dribbled the ball with his left hand quickly towards his crotch again. The ball passed through his crotch and hit the floor between Durant's feet, then quickly rebounded and flew to the basket, rushing to the basket.

Chandler was quick and unceremonious after catching the ball. He held the ball with both hands, jumped up, and dunked!

"Yang passed the ball from the crotch, Tyson caught the ball, and dunked with both hands! Well done! Hey, it looks like Kevin doesn't know he's being crotched yet."

After hearing the exclamations at the scene, Durant was still confused, but at this time he discovered that Yang Shuai no longer had the basketball in his hands. When he turned around, he happened to see Chandler dunk with both hands.

"Damn it!" Durant couldn't guess what just happened, but the big screen hanging above told him everything.

At halftime, Durant took the initiative to take the ball. After receiving the ball, Durant quickly moved to the left and wanted to rush into the three-point line, but Yang Shuai did not agree and quickly hit Durant back.

Forced out of the three-point line.

Dribbling slowly outside the three-point line, Durant resumed looking for offensive opportunities, swaying to the left, and Durant quickly rushed to the right.

He rushed forward, but Durant was already prepared to transform after being stopped by Yang Shuai again. What he didn't expect was that he didn't encounter any resistance when he rushed forward. He rushed past Yang Shuai,

Durant had a trace of disbelief in his heart. With Yang Shuai's ability, it was impossible for Yang Shuai to be completely shaken away by him without any resistance.

Durant's thinking was not wrong. Just when he was about to start speeding up, Yang Shuai on the side took action.

Quickly going around behind Durant, Yang Shuai reached out his right hand like lightning and grabbed the basketball that Durant was carrying with his right hand.

Durant suddenly became alert at this time and was about to rush out with the ball, but it was already too late. Yang Shuai's right hand hit the ball. Although he could not catch it directly, the ball had already escaped.

Under Durant's control.

Jamison, who was in front of Durant, picked up the ball that was poked by Yang Shuai, and then quickly threw it forward. In the front, Yang Shuai was already rushing towards the basket at high speed.

"Steal! Young gave Kevin Durant a turnover, fast break!"

When he catches the ball and no one is blocking him, Yang Shuai will naturally not let go of such a performance opportunity. He takes off from the free throw line and spins 180 degrees with both hands to do a backhand kick!

At the beginning of the second half, the Thunder wanted to chase points, but what they didn't expect was that the Warriors launched a wave of attacks instead.

"Tyreke broke through and scored, Kirk made a three-pointer and hit!"

"Yang attacked with the ball outside the three-point line, made a beautiful turn, Yang got rid of Kevin, layup, fouled...the ball went in! 2+1! Yang got a 2+1 opportunity!"

"Kirk steals, fast break, long-distance pass, Yang connects and dunks, beautiful!"

When the point difference between the two teams widened to 20 points after six minutes in the third quarter, it also meant that the game was a foregone conclusion. At 89:102, the game ended with the point difference between the two teams fixed at 13 points.

points, and all this was because the Warriors played with substitutes for a long period of time in the fourth quarter.

30 points, 7 assists and 10 rebounds. Although he did not get a triple-double, Yang Shuai's statistics in the first game were not shabby.

1:0, after easily winning the first game, the Warriors took the lead by a big score, and such a victory also made the Thunder clearly realize the strength of the Warriors.
