Chapter 258
In the series between the Clippers and the Thunder, the Clippers led 2:0, but they still need to win two more games to win the series. It's a 7-game 4-win system.
Whoever wins 4 games first can advance in the true sense.
Although the Clippers won the game last time, but... they were cautious in the second half and paid less attention to rebounding.
This prevented Su Hao from further increasing his steals data.
He ended up getting 5 steals, and although he led the team to victory, he failed to complete the system task.
It's a pity.
But this kind of thing can't be rushed.
As a 2.3-meter-tall center, it's really difficult to get more than 7 steals in a single game.
……
Losing on the road does not count as losing.
This is the belief that supports the Thunder's reversal of the series.
And the outside world, whether fans or experts, all believe that the Clippers will definitely win the series and advance smoothly.
Two days later.
The Clippers players flew to Oklahoma and came to the Thunder's home court to play the third game of the series.
8 o'clock in the evening.
Ford Center.
There is still half an hour before the game between the Thunder and the Clippers. The arena is crowded and the atmosphere is hot.
The Thunder did not enter the playoffs last year.
No.
The Thunder, which has not entered the playoffs for several years, entered the playoffs this year.
The most important thing is.
They ushered in the talented"Thunder Three", and the future is promising.
Losing on the road does not count as losing.
Thunder fans also firmly believe in this belief. They cheered the loudest decibels for the Thunder Three.
I hope to see them all explode and then tie the score at their home court.
With this belief.
Under the thunderous cheers in the arena.
The main game is coming!
"Jump ball!"
Su Hao and Kostic competed for the ball.
There was no suspense.
Su Hao once again easily picked up the basketball, and David Lee took over and pushed Curry forward to organize the first attack of the game for the Clippers.
Jeff Green, who dislocated his shoulder in the last game, did not have a big problem. After two days of rest, he returned to the court tonight.
For the sake of victory, he could not stop moving forward.
And Ibaka, who vomited blood, also recovered after a short two-day rest.
Not to say 100%, but he also decided to play.
Not leaving the front line with a minor injury.
This is what a young player should do in the NBA.
Especially in the postseason The competition stage.
Every fierce confrontation that must be fought for, the lack of any force is a loss for the team.
The key.
Tonight is the third game of the series, they are already 0:2 behind, and there is no way to retreat.
Playing at home, with home advantage.
But they must win tonight.
Once they lose, they will fall into a 0:3 dilemma, and in the history of the NBA, no team has been able to complete a reversal when they are 0:3 behind.
If a"black eight miracle" is added to this basis.
The difficulty is even more incredible.
The Thunder can't do it, so...even if they try their best tonight, they must protect the victory of the game.
""Bang, bang, bang!"
Curry pushed over.
Sefolosha quickly followed. The defensive experience and results of the first two games made him confident in defending Curry.
The Clippers would not sit still and wait for death. Gordon immediately came up to set a screen for Curry.
On the other side,
Russell also followed up.
Double screen.
Curry successfully got rid of the defense and came to the top of the arc on the right, one meter outside the three-point line.
Durant did not follow immediately.
It seemed that there was no need to force to follow in this position.
But he still underestimated the ability of rookie Curry and his absolute confidence in shooting.
""Wow"
Playoff stage.
Curry, like in the regular season, raised his hand and shot an unreasonable long three-pointer.
This is unreasonable.
This is a shooting point that ordinary teams do not allow.
But for Curry, after a season of testing, he was completely recognized by the coach. The basketball flew towards the basket while spinning.
Let the bullets fly
""Swish!" Curry made a three-pointer at the start of the game.
He looks very good tonight.
【Thunder 0:3 Clippers】
Switch offense.
Westbrook pushes over.
In the middle of the arc, hand-to-hand pass to Durant, facing the defense of Rasul, without a trace of panic.
A simple offensive three-threat, after adjusting Rasul's center of gravity.
One step to the right to accelerate, leaving Rasul behind, and then a quick stop jump shot.
Yes?
""Bang!"
No.
Rebound?
Jeff Green, who never backed down, continued to fight against Su Hao.
But Su Hao, who had already seen where the basketball would land, exerted a little force to push Jeff Green, who had a ferocious face and was exerting all his strength, away.
He took a step sideways and jumped up.
He protected the rebound over Kostic's head.
He didn't stop the ball.
A long pass was made to the front court. Curry chased after him and got the basketball. Although it was a bit extreme, he had the opportunity to directly challenge the basket.
"Boom!"
After taking three steps and several steps inside the free throw line, Curry made a one-handed slam dunk.
This slam dunk was really hard.
The ball was transferred.
Westbrook pushed the ball over, taking advantage of Durant's cut on the other side to attract the defense.
He shifted gears and accelerated, heading straight to the middle, trying to attack the restricted area where Su Hao was.
However, when he really caught the ball and flew up, wanting to dunk on Su Hao's head, he suddenly found... Su Hao's long arms stretched out and completely covered him. He couldn't attack at all. Otherwise, he would be blocked.
""Oops!"
Westbrook passed the ball to Kostic under the right basket in a panic.
David Lee followed.
Kostic faced the basket, raised the ball and pretended to shoot, shaking David Lee's center of gravity.
He had to jump again.
But at this moment, Su Hao appeared behind him, and a pair of big hands pressed directly on the basketball raised by Kostic.
The next second.
In Kostic's extremely unwilling and shocked eyes, Su Hao snatched the basketball from Kostic's hand.
Like a bandit.
No martial ethics at all
" Oh, no!"
Kostic was very unwilling and angry, but he was helpless.
In the previous wave of competition, he almost bit his back teeth and used all his strength.
However, he still couldn't protect the basketball.
In terms of strength confrontation, he and Su Hao were not on the same level at all, and he was completely defeated.
""Wow"
There was also an uproar in the away stadium.
Many fans held their heads in shock at Su Hao's behavior of snatching the basketball from Kostic's hand from behind.
This was rare. This was very domineering. This was shocking enough.
"Calm down, Kostic!"
Coach Brooks was afraid that Kostic's mentality would collapse, so he hurried to comfort him on the sidelines.
Su Hao passed the snatched basketball to Curry for a counterattack.
The Thunder's offense and defense were also timely.
The Clippers fell into position.
After Curry waited for Su Hao to come back, he saw him squeezing Jeff Green under the basket.
He began to look for teammates to hang screens.
Then... He used his three-point threat at the top of the arc on the left and rushed in at an accelerated speed.
Passed Sefolosha.
The high lob on the left side hit the rebound. The offense looked smooth, but it was still interfered by the assisting Durant.
This attack was unsuccessful.
Rebound?!
Su Hao under the basket jumped high again, and protected the rebound before Durant, Jeff Green and Kostic.
Without waiting to land, Su Hao grabbed the basketball in the air, and made a powerful one-handed dunk, wreaking havoc on the basket.
"He jumped too high!"
"Su Hao is too strong, it's impossible to defend against him!"
Jeff Green and Kostic's scalps were numb.
In the change of ball possession, Durant first knocked Curry away in the confrontation, and then turned around to pass Russell.
Durant passed two people, stopped suddenly in the low post on the right side, and made a pull-up jump shot.
He will end the attack with a perfect mid-range shot, and also make his attack this time one of the top ten shots.
As a result.
When he shot, the basketball just flew into the air, Su Hao, who followed, jumped up, and his long arms instantly covered the sky.
"Bang!"
A volleyball block sent Durant's shot flying out of the 10th floor of the stands!!!
