After the Thunder replaced Kevin Durant, it became difficult to chase points.

Russell Westbrook cut into the paint, causing Kawhi Leonard to foul, made two free throws, and the point difference came to 12 points. Without the presence of Anxi, Russell Westbrook finally felt a little easier .

Although Kawhi Leonard's defense is also very strong, at least when facing Kawhi Leonard, Russell Westbrook's offense can still be played.

In the Spurs' offense, Manu held the ball, and after making a cross screen with Anxi, he made a layup with a European step, scored 2 points, and narrowed the point difference to 10 points.

Then, Kawhi Leonard defended Russell Westbrook's mid-range shot. The Spurs seized this opportunity and Tim Duncan made a mid-range shot to narrow the point difference to less than 10 points.

Scott Brooks paced back and forth anxiously on the sidelines. The Spurs showed their terrifying fighting spirit and combat effectiveness in the third quarter. Less James Harden.

Now Scott Brooks has also learned to be decisive. He decided to wait a little longer, and when the Spurs were close to the score again, he decisively replaced James Harden.

However, in the next few minutes, the Thunder's offense was also very tenacious, and they never gave the Spurs a chance to continue narrowing the point difference. Either neither side scored, or the Spurs scored both the Thunder and the Spurs. Between 8 and 10 points.

In the 7th minute of the third quarter, Russell Westbrook threw away Kawhi Leonard, rushed into the penalty area, faced Tim Duncan's defense, flew up, and smashed the basketball into the basket with a bang , The Thunder continued to keep scoring. In the third quarter, Russell Westbrook had already scored 13 points.

On the Spurs side, Tony Parker used the pick-and-roll to cover, made a move, made a two-pointer from a long distance, and also made a hit, and the point difference became 8 points again.

Vicvic on the sidelines was not that anxious. After all, the 8-point difference can be chased in the fourth quarter, so he stood there quietly, observing every offensive and defensive round of the two sides.

It's the Thunder's offense again, and Russell Westbrook is holding the ball. At this critical moment, the Thunder dare not take the risk of letting Kevin Durant play. Unless it is an excellent open opportunity, Kevin Durant Rant will definitely not get the ball. Durant's only task now is to hold Anxi.

**Vich is not in a hurry, but Anxi is a little anxious on the court. The point difference cannot be narrowed for a long time. Anxi feels that procrastination is definitely not good for the Spurs, so this time, Anxi feels that he should do something.

Looking at Kevin Durant out of the corner of his eye,

Anxi turned sideways and looked at Russell Westbrook who was holding the ball.

Kevin Durant saw that Anxi didn't stare at him, and thought that the opportunity had come, so he went out from the bottom corner directly. Anxi immediately reacted and followed.

Kevin Durant went around the top of the arc and found that Anxi was still inseparable, so he simply prepared to make a pick-and-roll cover for Russell Westbrook at the top of the arc. If Russell Westbrook can attract Anxi's defense Note, that's even better.

Seeing Kevin Durant crossing his hands and preparing to set a pick-and-roll screen for Russell Westbrook, Anxi glanced at the basketball in Westbrook's hands, and he felt that the opportunity had come.

A sideways move made way for Kevin Durant and Kawhi Leonard, and Anxi switched directly in front of Russell Westbrook.

Kevin Durant was overjoyed, took a step towards the other side, and then reached for the ball, leaving Anxi's nightmare existence, Kevin Durant felt much more comfortable.

Russell Westbrook is also preparing to pass the ball. At this time, it is naturally the best choice to pass the ball to Kevin Durant. It is a disease of the brain to beat Anxi.

However, at the moment he opened his hand to pass the ball! Anxi suddenly jumped out of Russell Westbrook's face!

"Be careful!" Kevin Durant exclaimed!

But it's too late!

An Xi's hand cut the basketball flying towards Kevin Durant, and then directly used this force to rush forward!

"Steal! Anxi steals Russell Westbrook's pass! He rushes forward, and there is no defensive player within one meter around him!"

"Bang!" With a muffled sound, Anxi slammed a slam dunk! There are 6 points left!

Beep! With a whistle, the Thunder applied for a timeout.

With a 6-point difference, Scott Brooks decisively called a timeout. Anxi's steal broke the deadlock, and this timeout by Scott Brooks meant to interrupt the Spurs' chasing rhythm. Of course, it was more important to replace James Harden.

On the Spurs side, **Vichitch is not a fool, he is called Zhuge Weiqi by Chinese fans, **Vichitch is very clear that this suspension of Scott Brooks must be replaced by James Harden, After thinking about it for a while, **Vivic decided to make substitutions along with the Thunder.

"Danny, you go out, replace Tony, and defend James Harden."

Danny Green nodded. Facing the Thunder's multi-star perimeter lineup, the Spurs' three perimeter single-defense fighters all came in handy.

The game restarted, and the Thunder really replaced James Harden. The four young players played together. Scott Brooks' goal was obviously to stabilize the situation on the court, and then wait for an opportunity to continue to expand the point difference. For the Thunder, this game They can't lose and can't afford to lose the game, because once they lose, the big score will become 03, and when the gods come, they can't save the Thunder.

And the Spurs are desperately trying to win this game. If it was normal, **Vichitch would not care so much about the victory of this game. He also asked all the players to fight hard and turned on the hair dryer in the locker room , but this game is different. The referee's biased and faint whistle made **Vichick feel that this game should have been won by the Spurs. Even if the referee wants to make trouble, the Spurs will win the game!

The game restarted, and the Thunder re-entered the field full of confidence. The four young players all made them confident.

But, soon, reality hit them hard!

James Harden took the ball into his own hands as soon as he came on the court, dribbled for a while outside the three-point line, and then accelerated his breakthrough. After throwing off Danny Green, James Harden continued to accelerate, as if he had found an opportunity, three steps up The basket, but Tim Duncan, the patron saint of the Spurs penalty area, stepped forward and made a big cap, which ended the Thunder's offense.

"Tim Duncan's big cap, the Spurs strengthened their defense! Their fast break, the rhythm at the beginning of the first quarter again, the Spurs' defensive counterattack, Tony Parker's layup, scored! The point difference is 4 points left !” To be continued.
