In the second quarter, the situation became more severe for the warriors. Durant led the warriors replacement lineup, even did not play Paul George led thunder substitute.

This surprised everyone! From the starting lineup, both sides have their own merits and are equal. But the combat effectiveness on the bench, thunder is certainly not as good as the warriors. So many times since the playoffs Donovan has had to play with Paul George, the core players who should have rested, such as wesbrook and anlow. In order to ensure that in this transitional period of time will not be opened too much by the other side.

But today they have the upper hand. In addition to Paul George's stable performance, the key factor of thunder's advantage is the outbreak of Kant on the inside and brewer on the outside. Kanter in particular, every time he goes to Oracle stadium, his performance is very two eyed. It was as if the stadium had given him some mysterious power.

Of course, Durant has nothing to do with the downturn of warriors, his performance is still eye-catching.

Cook took the ball over the midline, or chose to give Durant directly. Although he is in position one, he plays more like a point guard without a ball. Durant starts from the 45 degree angle of the three-point line, one in front of him, shaking off brewer. And then he goes straight to the basket. Kanter, who has always been reluctant to pick and roll, was swept clean by Durant as a European. He went up and tried to cover from behind, but Durant pushed the ball right into the basket.

But in retrospect, brewer scored a three at the top of the arc! Livingston obviously didn't make the right defensive choice. His position was too far back, giving brewer a chance. Of course, no one expected this guy to be so decisive. Even Donovan and on the bench of Anluo did not expect. It's really worth coming out of Houston!

After that shot, the score was 55-40. Thunder's lead has reached as many as 15 points. The situation has become quite unfavourable for the warriors. In fact, in the 17 minutes of the game, the warriors scored 40 points is not too bad. But thunder's attack is too smooth! Compared with the two, the warrior's disadvantage is great.

"Russell, ANN, Steven, Andrea, get ready. You're going to play!" Donovan arranged for his main players to warm up during the pause, and he estimated that the warriors' main force would come in early.

Sure enough, after the pause came back, both sides sent all their main force. The atmosphere on the court suddenly became serious. Everyone knows that the warriors will fight for the next game! If we continue to fight like this with thunder, we will lose the game. This game lost, in 0:3 big score, want to turn over, that is almost impossible. So for the warriors, I have to win. No matter how hard it is, no matter what you have to pay, you must win! Otherwise, everything this season will be in vain.

The only change was that Pachulia reappeared in the warriors' starting lineup. Green returned to his more familiar position four. It has to be said that the Warriors "five small death" lineup makes their offensive and defensive system more flexible, but for the competition in the forbidden area, the warriors did suffer some losses. When Adams was on the court, thunder almost always played inside. More often than not, ANLO and Paul George are helping Westbrook and Adams open up space.

Surprisingly, it wasn't igordala who was replaced by Cole, but Curie! Although curry can make up for his defensive weakness from the offensive side, Cole has to make a choice. Previous games have proved that warriors' defense is too weak to limit thunder's score. So Cole decided to let Durant take over the attack. With Pachulia inside, Thompson outside, and igordala, the warriors' offensive firepower is not bad. The most important thing is, in this way, the warriors defense will be greatly improved.

In this league, even if there is no other team like the warriors! At the most critical moment, they let their star in charge sit off the court. But from the subsequent games, it was a quite effective adjustment.

First of all, Adams and Westbrook were affected. Igordala and Pachulia paralyzed their tried and tested pick and roll tactics! Adams's singles under the basket, has also been greatly limited.

The offensive side was frustrated and the defense was also problematic. Durant constantly uses his height advantage to misplace the thunder singles players. Neither Robertson nor Paul George can stop him in a one-on-one situation. The effect of the package is not bad, but in that case, it is bound to leak. Before that, thunder was also on Durant's package. But at that time, Green's position was near the three-point line, which could be directly emptied. Now green is basically in the free throw line. And his ability to attack the basket is good.

The warriors relied on Durant's continuous attack to play a 9-3. They narrowed the difference to a single digit in two minutes. Forced thunder to call a pause adjustment.

In the face of such a situation, Donovan should make a choice! Either continue to empty green to limit Durant, or continue to rely on Robertson or Paul George to defend. If you choose the former, green can score. It is more likely that both green and Durant will play in the end. Choose the latter, thunder can only rely on their own attack to make up for the weakness of the defensive end caused by the loophole.Donovan finally chose the former. Donovan is obviously more comfortable with green than Durant. Even if he stands under the basket, the threat is not as good as Durant.

As long as Durant enters the three-point line with the ball, Westbrook, who is next to green, will immediately take over and fight Durant with Robertson.

Such an adjustment, the effect is not bad! After Green's one near empty midrange hit, Durant didn't hit two on one!

Green will never let Donovan down!

Of course, thunder's own attack did not improve much. Both sides are in a defensive battle. We don't like playing iron, stealing, mistakes, fouls and free throws. Although the shout of Oracle stadium is still very loud, but the cheers from the heart are much less. The game became boring. After the director's lens was scanned, some people chatted. Attention is no longer in the game!

For the players in the game, they are very focused. Both thunder players and warriors players, for every attack and defense, they do their best.
