At the end of the fierce battle in the first half, the Thunder did not close the score. On the contrary, at the end of the second quarter, after the two sides switched to the main lineup, the Knicks' outside three-pointer felt explosive and extended the lead.
At the end of the second quarter, the score was 47:63.
The Knicks ended the first half with a 16-point lead.
This result can be said to be a bit beyond the expectations of the commentator Barkley. Before the start of the game, Barkley also predicted the development of the game with Kenny Smith. The two partners who often disagreed with each other. The progress of the game turned out to be a consensus.
Both of them believed that the score difference between the two teams should not exceed 5 points. As for who is ahead of the two, it is difficult to judge.
But they didn't expect the Thunder to be suppressed by the Knicks in the first half of the game, and at the end of the half, the Thunder fell behind by 16 points.
According to the strength of the two teams, it is unlikely that the two sides will differ by such a large score gap. Therefore, sometimes it is really impossible to judge the progress of the game based on the overall strength of the two teams. Basketball games are always left and right Since competitions are human beings, there will be more differences and possibilities.
Otherwise, there would be no black eight miracles.
At the beginning of the third quarter, Lian Dao was sitting on the bench, and Zhu Huo Ledi was organizing the game; Durant did not rest on the Thunder team, mainly because the Thunder team was currently behind, and he wanted to use the third quarter to play. chasing points.
Although Durant has a bit of a dickish temperament, there is no problem with his desire to win and his attitude towards the game.
And there is one thing that Westbrook can't compare to, that is, the speed of progress. Durant has been improving since entering the league, but Westbrook's progress is not very obvious, especially his shooting ability. Not particularly stable.
In the third quarter, Durant also showed his strong scoring ability. Danilo Gallinari couldn't prevent Durant's jumper at all. Durant's wingspan advantage is too obvious. And every time he shoots the ball, he will have some receding, which makes it even more difficult to defend him.
After Durant scored a three-pointer from beyond the three-point line again, D'Antoni could no longer sit still.
Because the score at this time has been approached to within 5 points by Durant's three-pointer.
69:73.
Four points ahead.
After Lian Dao came on the court, he received a pass from Holiday and missed a three-point shot. This is normal. After all, the rest time is not short, and it is also necessary to find his touch at this time.
The rebound was grabbed by Ibaka and then passed to Westbrook for a one-stop dunk.
The Knicks still gave the ball to Lian Dao, Wilson Chandler's pick-and-roll, misplaced, and a three-pointer.
As soon as the ball is shot, Lian Dao feels that he must go in.
Turn around with confidence.
"brush!"
This action caused the male Thunder fans in the audience to boo the most, but some girls felt that Lian Dao's confident turn around after shooting the three-pointer was too handsome.
So there were empty voices and cheers in the audience, and there was also a male fan who was forced to cheer by his girlfriend.
But Durant was really hard to guard when he felt it, and Durant returned a three-pointer after he was tight.
Players from both sides came and went, and the Knicks couldn't even open the score for a while.
Moreover, the defensive intensity of both sides is not small, resulting in frequent mistakes in the second half, especially in the last minute, the Thunder seized the Knicks' two mistakes and directly overtook the score.
Only 2 seconds left for the Knicks to make the final attack.
The Thunder were guarding against the Knicks' super long-distance pass. They had no choice but to serve normally. After receiving the ball, Lian Dao suddenly remembered that he had seen Curry shoot into the Spurs' basket from inside the Spurs' three-point line in his previous life. , So he came up with a bold idea and pushed the ball hard inside the Thunder's three-point line.
Durant only extended his hand symbolically at this time. He didn't believe that Lian Dao could make such a long shot.
Not only Durant, but almost everyone didn't believe it.
Lian Dao had no confidence in his heart, and he didn't have much confidence in this ball.
It is possible that Lian Dao was really lucky today.
It may also be because Lian Dao's three-pointer came from a primary school student.
The basketball crossed a long arc, hit the center of the small box on the backboard, and then bounced into the basket.
There was an instant silence on the field, and everyone looked at Lian Dao with their mouths wide open.
Huo Ledi even rubbed his eyes suspiciously, and after realizing it, he hugged Lian Dao to celebrate.
D'Antoni also got up to applaud his disciples at this time.
At the end of the three quarters, 82:84, the Knicks led by two points.
Durant bent his waist and watched the defense on the big screen without moving. After watching it, Durant came back to his senses and gave Lian Dao a complicated look.
And James Harden was already staring dumbfounded on the bench, staring at his big round eyes with his mouth open, watching the return defense on the big screen above the court motionless.
Entering the fourth quarter, the Thunder team was the first to have problems. Durant's physical strength has always been his biggest problem, and this time is no exception. The reason is that the hit rate has also dropped sharply.
In the first five minutes of the fourth quarter, Durant made 1 of 6 shots, but the Knicks used this time to hit a 9:4 shock wave.
Scott Brooks would love to give Durant a break off the bench, but there is currently no scorer who can replace him.
But he still made some changes, replacing James Harden.
However, as long as everyone in the Knicks is attacking, they will play James Harden's misplacement. James Harden, who has committed four offenses, is also timid on the court at this time.
Harden's playing didn't change much, on the contrary he became the biggest colander on the court.
The Knicks continued to expand their lead. When the Knicks re-extended the lead to 15 points, Scott Brooks also surrendered at this time.
He replaced Durant, Westbrook and Jeff Green and let Harden lead the bench.
D'Antoni also took advantage of the dead ball to replace the main players.
I just didn't expect that James Harden made three mid-range shots in succession at the last moment, leading the Thunder to an 8:2 attack wave.
D'Antoni was sweating coldly, but the remaining time on the court was not enough for the Thunder to come back.
The end of the game, 100:107.
The Knicks won the game away.
Lian Dao scored the highest score in the game, with 47 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals. Another quasi-triple-double performance, the most important thing is to win this game.
Durant also scored 38 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal in this game.
But watching Lian Dao stabilize his own score, he couldn't be happier.
Scoring champion has a long way to go. It's time to discuss with the second brother about scoring points. Ah bah, it's the team's offensive responsibility.
At the end of the game, Durant reluctantly shook hands with Lian Dao after the game.
Then there is James Harden. James Harden has mixed feelings in his heart. This time he was educated by Lian Dao on the spot. Hit the Thunder's basket from inside the three-point line.
This completely dissipated James Harden's inner dissatisfaction.
