Chapter 379: Crazy Second Half

The chaotic battle between the Thunder and Spurs in the first half was over, and the two teams struggled to bite the score, and neither took advantage.

Especially Durant, who was omnipotent in the first quarter, did not take advantage of the big melee in the second half of the second quarter, but was very uncomfortable being entangled by his former idol Maddie.

On the Spurs' side, although there are rogue substitutes who are crazy about grabbing points, after all, the league's second-youngest front has a great deterrent, which makes them have to share part of their spirit to deal with it in the melee, so when the scuffle, the Spurs' defense is actually not doing well.

At halftime, the atmosphere in the Spurs' locker room was a bit solemn.

Popovich looked at his tactical board, his brow furrowed, and to be honest, today's Spurs did not make Popovich feel very satisfied.

It can only be said that it is so-so.

Especially against Durant and Westbrook's defense, it was not very successful, if it wasn't for Westbrook to grab the ball with Durant and then be put on the bench for a while, it is estimated that Westbrook would also score a relatively high score.

"Qin, Kehuai, you guys go up in the second half." Popovich was looking at the two little guys with serious faces, he knew that these two people were eager to fight in the second quarter today, but in the end they were pressed to the bench by Popovich!

So, these two may be a little restless now, and this is the perfect time to release these two guys!

"Okay, I've been holding it for a long time." Qin Yan pinched his fingers with a "rattle" sound, and Qin Yan was almost suffocated when he was holding on the bench in the second quarter just now.

Leonard nodded, in fact, he had already made up his mind, once he went up, he would entangle Durant to death, and what Maddie could do, he must also do!

Otherwise, I'm too sorry for my reputation as the core of the Spurs defense.

"Next, our focus is on Durant, just let go of Westbrook, and then run more, find opportunities to shoot from the outside, and don't break off."

After thinking about it for a long time, Popovich's midfielder could only be arranged like this, after all, only one could be placed when there were two masters of skill on the opposite side.

So after the start of the second half, Durant suddenly found that he was still being sandwiched, and the small facial paralysis that the main force entangled him was now even more ruthless......

Moreover, no matter where Durant goes, Leonard can follow him to the death, just like practicing the legendary Ling Bo microstep.

Durant is a little stupid, this small facial paralysis is crazy, why does he only follow himself? And because Durant is not very good at using some small movements, Leonard's tight and close defense makes Durant very uncomfortable.

Even Leonard actually has the feeling that he can block Durant alone! Qin Yan originally wanted to wrap it up twice, but seeing that Leonard had almost practiced "Lingbo Weibu", Qin Yan didn't bother to care about Durant, it was better to tease Westbrook.

Durant was entangled, and although he didn't have a dumb fire, it was an indisputable fact that his attack power had dropped.

And when Durant's attack power declines, the Thunder will not have any other strategy, they will only have one routine, that is, let Westbrook play.

As for Westbrook's singles, the Spurs are not afraid at all, after all, Westbrook, a brainless guy, is basically a routine when he fights, and this routine Spurs happen to have a person who can be perfectly restrained, that is, Qin Yan.

Westbrook was also held back for almost a whole quarter, and when he came up, he found that Durant had been caught to death!

God, isn't this a great opportunity, it just so happens that Durant is blocked, isn't this a good opportunity?

Westbrook's next tactic is to control the ball and rush inside, no matter how many people there are inside, Westbrook just knows how to go forward and then try to create fouls.

What Qin Yan did the most on the defensive end was to choke with Westbrook, fighting between muscles and muscles, and Qin Yan also took two fouls on Westbrook in order to protect Whiteside on the inside.

Of course, the Spurs are ruthless on the defensive end, and the Spurs are not soft on the offensive end, Qin Yan is completely on the bar with Westbrook, how does Westbrook break through the Spurs' defense, Qin Yan will return one!

In this way, it is the Thunder's defenders who are struggling, and the Spurs can use Qin Yan to offset Westbrook's impact, but on the Thunder's side, Westbrook has no way to block Qin Yan who is rushing up!

So the Thunder's defenders are miserable, they didn't provoke it, but they have to bear this huge pressure.

After suffering Qin Yan's crazy impact for more than a whole section, Saflosha and Ibaka and others on the inside line were one after another after the game, this thing is a special beast, Saflosha will not talk about it, Ibaka, the black buddy, can see bruises on his body after the game!

You can imagine how intense the impact was just now.

In short, until the last few minutes of the fourth quarter, the second half of the Thunder and Spurs was spent in hand-to-hand combat with each other, both sides played quite crazy, and there were quite a lot of fouls, and both sides were blown double-digit fouls in just over a quarter, and the referees were probably tired of blowing the whistle......

Fortunately, the main players and coaches on both sides are calmer and know how to make substitutions and control the emotions of the players, otherwise the two teams would have fought long ago or someone would have been blown out.

In short, in this second half, the two teams combined to blow a total of 20+ fouls, which is very rare and crazy in the Western Conference finals in recent years.

Fortunately, both teams carefully controlled the balance, even if the hand-to-hand combat was fierce, they did not play each other's black hands, and the scores of the two teams also fluctuated between 1-4 points, and there was no time to sing 4 points!

And that balance finally changed as the game entered the final three minutes.

When the countdown entered three minutes, Durant, who was frantically blocked by Leonard at the beginning of the second half, finally broke free from Leonard's defense! Resurrected successfully!

After the Thunder missed an offensive attack, Durant, who was originally pressed by Leonard on the outside, suddenly burst out with a powerful force, knocked Leonard into the interior, and scored this offensive rebound in front of the somewhat careless Whiteside, and made Whiteside's foul by the way!

2+1! At the same time let Whiteside 5 fouls!

Durant, although he was blocked by Leonard for a while in the crazy second half, but at the most important moment of the game, when the team needed him the most, he stood up decisively! It turned the tide in one fell swoop, and when he completed this 2+1, the Thunder were only one point behind the Spurs, and at the same time, there were still 2 and a half minutes left in the clock!

150 seconds! 1 point!

In the first game of the Western Finals, the two teams ushered in an even more crazy final moment after the crazy second half!
