Because Donovan was very eager to win the game, they increased the intensity of the game in the second quarter. Before Leonard came on, Paul George was in the game. This is different from previous games. Maybe Donovan wants to take advantage of Leonard's absence to regain the initiative.

Paul George has not had such an opportunity for a long time. In the regular season, he often led the rotation team to play in the first half of the second quarter. His task is to ensure that Westbrook and anlow get enough rest time as much as possible, while consolidating the team's leading edge, and even continue to expand the leader first.

But in the playoffs, especially after the finals, he's more likely to be in charge of defending the other side's arrowheads, such as Leonard. Paul George's playing time in the previous games was basically the same as Leonard. After all, in this thunder team, no one but Paul George can give Leonard a stable defense, only he can effectively limit Leonard. As a result, Paul George himself has been limited. That's one of the reasons why he didn't perform well in this series.

Now, Paul George can put all his energy into the offensive end. Paul George himself was very excited. As soon as he came up, he received Felton's pass, then swayed in place, with his shoulder low, and with a sudden force against McCullough, he pushed his opponent aside and stepped into the inner line. Facing maikao, he has an advantage in all aspects. After that, Paul George made a European step around Ibaka, then he put his left leg into the ball, and the whole person bounced up, his left hand clasped the basketball and slammed into the basket.

31:31

the two sides drew again.

When Paul George got to his feet, he jumped in place. He shook his right hand in the air. In this series, Paul George rarely plays such a ball.

Looking back, van fritt darted a cold arrow at the top of the arc. He had a great performance in the last two minutes of the first quarter, and he had a good shot outside the three-point line. However, the goal was not able to score.

Ibaka grabs the rebound. He put Cantor behind him, occupying an excellent position under the basket. However, just after he grabbed the rebound, Kanter and Patterson were directly wrapped up, and Paul George was not far away. Ibaka tried to find a teammate, but when he looked around, he couldn't find space to pass. He kept the ball in his arms, left and right, and couldn't get out of defense.

There was little time left for the attack, and Ibaka had to be strong. He held the ball in his right hand, pulled twice in the air, and then pushed the ball out. Although the feeling of the hand is very bad, but still managed to avoid Kant and Patterson's block.

However, the subsequent slap of Paul George made Ibaka very uncomfortable. But he was not knocked out by the block. When the basketball rebounded from the rebound, Ibaka jumped up again, slapping the basketball out of the three-point line in the crowd. Van fritt, Felton, Ferguson and Powell rushed towards basketball almost instantly. The four men ran into each other in order to get the ball right. Powell was the first to grab the basketball, but Ferguson was quick-sighted and quick-witted. A carp flew over, and then he held Powell's basketball in his hand.

"Di..."

Seeing the dispute between the two sides, the referee blew the whistle decisively and both sides fought for the ball.

"Di..."

Ferguson put the ball into Paul George's hands. The latter ran straight to the basket.

Thunder's fierce defense aroused the Raptors' fighting spirit. When Paul George launched the counterattack, Ibaka and McCoy quickly came back. McCullough, in particular, is like a 100 meter dash, and he's got Paul George in the blink of an eye. Despite his confidence in his layup, Paul George is more conservative. He stopped at the free throw line and forced McCoy to slow down. Then he sped up again, and all of a sudden he made a little distance from McCullah. But that distance doesn't get Paul George out of McCoy's defense.

McCoy was like a shadow, flying with Paul George. Paul George felt the danger coming from behind, but instead of dodging, he put his hand higher and his fingertips pushed the ball into the basket. Michael can't stop flying. Under the deliberate adjustment of Paul George, he slapped each other on the hand.

"Di..."

The referee's whistle went off, but everyone was still focused on the basketball turning on the basket. It didn't waste a lot of time. The basketball finally fell into the basket.

“Nice!”

ANLO waved a towel on the bench. Paul George handled the layup perfectly this time. Of course, if it was him, not Ferguson, standing outside the three-point line, that might not have been the case.

Nash clapped at the edge of the court. Although McCullough didn't control well and was fouled in the end, Nash was satisfied with his defensive attitude.

Paul George waved his arm, which he had been hit by McCullough, and stood on the free throw line to put the ball in.Thunder finally took the lead again.

Next, the two sides played harder in defense. This is obviously what Nash and Donovan told during the break. Whether it's Raptors or thunder, the players are more and more active in defense, more and more physical confrontation, and the referee's whistle is more and more frequent. The game began to get tense.

This situation, as the main players of both sides have appeared, has become more severe. Even when the players are attacking, they are constantly looking for physical confrontation. Guys like Westbrook, Paul George, Leonard, and sICAM like to open the way with their bodies. When they break through, they first look for physical confrontation, and then seize the space to get rid of the defender.

This feeling of fist to flesh makes the referee feel extremely worried. They can only intervene in the increasingly possible conflicts between players through stricter calls. But the effect is not ideal. On the contrary, this kind of blow penalty scale makes those who like to break through taste the sweet, rush into the crowd with the ball, and frequently stand on the free throw line.

ANLO didn't make a lot of shots in the first few minutes after playing. As soon as he hit the ball, the opposite players came around like crazy and forced him to pass it. However, his performance in the defensive end, can also provide great help for the thunder.
