Chapter six hundred and thirteen Destroyed...
At 9 minutes and 32 seconds into the first quarter, Holiday made a pick-and-roll to get rid of Westbrook's defense, and made a sudden shot from outside the three-point line.
Everyone thought it was a three-point shot by Holiday, but...
Lian Dao suddenly cut into the penalty area from the bottom corner along the baseline, jumped from the basket and grabbed the basketball with both hands to complete the dunk dunk.
At 9 minutes and 18 seconds, Westbrook, who was caught in a double-team, made a mistake in a moment of nervousness, and was directly intercepted by Tony Allen abruptly from his hand.
After losing control of the basketball, Lian Dao quickly stepped forward and took control of the floor ball before Sabo Sefolosha.
Immediately, the ball was passed to Cousins, who had already run forward.
Cousins passed Yin Baka's defense with the ball, completed a dunk at the basket, and the Knicks counterattacked successfully again.
At 7 minutes and 34 seconds, Lian Dao hit the inside line and attracted Perkins to defend again, passing the ball to assist Cousins to score...
The Knicks continued to maintain a strong firepower offense.
The game has gone on for more than four minutes, and the Knicks still maintain a 100% shooting rate.
After one round, Holiday made a sudden assist and assisted Lian Dao to hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner. The Knicks' offense made everyone feel scared.
As the game progressed, the time also passed by every minute and every second.
At 5 minutes and 07 seconds, Cousins missed a mid-range shot.
The New York Knicks finally made their first miss in this game.
At this point, Thunder coach Brooks finally couldn't help calling a second timeout.
Lian Dao, who had already scored 12 points, put his right hand to his ear before leaving the field, making Iverson's classic move.
He rushed to all the Thunder fans in the stands and made a "listen" gesture.
The entire audience was silent, and no Thunder fans were abusing at this time.
Lian Dao used his actual actions to completely silence the noisy Chesapeake Energy Stadium.
Now, the ears of the Knicks players are finally quiet.
They used a tidal wave of offense to silence all Oklahoma fans and reporters.
At the same time, it also made everyone see the huge gap in strength between the two teams.
"There are 5 minutes left before the end of the first quarter, but so far, the Knicks have only missed one shot. This is a very terrifying offensive efficiency!"
"The Knicks are already leading by 18 points before the first quarter is over!"
"The Knicks seemed to want to destroy the Thunder with a stormy offense in the first quarter. The critical moment of the Thunder's game came earlier than before!"
Although Kenny Smith had a premonition that the Thunder would fail at the beginning of the game, he did not expect that the Thunder's state in this game would be so bad.
If you look at the current state of the Thunder, not only will this game face failure.
In the next game, they have no hope of winning.
Thunder coach Brooks watched his players walk off the court with a look of disappointment, and he didn't know what to say.
Now that the game has been played, it is no longer the tactical level that can determine the direction of the game.
Even at the tactical level, Brooks doesn't have much stock in his stomach.
The first thing he has to solve now is the momentum of the Thunder team.
Even Westbrook and Durant, who were full of fighting spirit at the beginning, were like eggplants beaten by frost at this time, wilting.
Before the end of the first quarter, they were already behind by 18 points. How could they catch up?
The silent Chesapeake Energy Stadium seemed to have ushered in their end ahead of schedule.
It's just that this came too early.
In the third game of the finals, the Knicks almost defeated the Thunder in less than a quarter.
Some fans saw the end of the game without even reacting.
Is this still the Young Guards in their hearts?
Or the Thunder that set off a storm in the West?
Could it be that the humiliating scene of last year's regular season will be staged again in the finals?
All Thunder fans fell into deep doubts. They did not expect that at Chesapeake Energy Stadium, at home, the Thunder lost so badly in the opening game.
In the expectation of Thunder fans, even if they lose the game, it will be in the last quarter or even the last minute to decide the winner.
They thought that with the growth of the Thunder's three young men, the humiliation of last year's regular season would never happen to the Thunder again.
But the reality is beyond everyone's imagination. The Knicks showed unparalleled offensive power in the opening game.
They told everyone with practical actions: As long as the Knicks are there, the Thunder will have no chance!
Desperation spreads at Chesapeake Energy Stadium…
But at the Chesapeake Energy Stadium, the thunderous boos at the beginning of the game have long since disappeared.
Even if there were boos, there were only a few of them, without any momentum.
All the fans in the Chesapeake Energy Stadium can only watch the Knicks players, who they hate so much, perform to their heart's content on their turf.
At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks scored 43 points in 12 minutes.
Of course, if the Knicks score in a single quarter is viewed in the regular season, although it is a bit amazing, it is not surprising.
After all, offense has always been the Knicks' forte, and the Knicks have scored higher than this in a single quarter.
However, this is not the regular season, this is the finals!
The only team that scored 43 points in the first quarter of the Finals was the Philadelphia 76ers during Chamberlain's era in 1967.
The Knicks tied this ancient record in the NBA after a lapse of 45 years.
And, unlike the 76ers, the Knicks tied the Thunder directly in the first quarter.
In the end, the Knicks ended the first quarter with 43:21.
The Thunder trailed by 22 points in a single quarter!
Thunder fans bowed their heads, and some even left the court directly.
The fans didn't want to see the humiliating result and chose to flee, but the Thunder players couldn't do it, their nightmare was far from over.
In the second quarter, the Knicks did not have a break to affect the touch, and they still continued the game state of the first quarter.
The Knicks made 18 of 22 shots in this section, and the team's overall shooting rate exceeded 80%, which is still terrifying.
Although the Thunder gradually found some offensive feeling in the second quarter.
Especially when Durant and Westbrook held back most of the Knicks' defense, James Harden started scoring consecutively from beyond the three-point line.
But helplessly, the gap between the two sides is too large, and Harden's power is like a small stone thrown into the vast ocean, which cannot make any waves.
The Thunder had launched a resistance in the second quarter, but the score in the first half was still very tragic.
74:50!
The Thunder trailed by 24 points at halftime!
Just after halftime, a large number of Thunder fans began to leave the field early.
If there were still many fans who had hope for the Thunder after the first quarter, but after the second quarter, this hope was completely shattered.
In the first quarter, Thunder fans can comfort themselves by saying that they can say that they are not in good shape.
However, in the second quarter, the Thunder's state recovered, and the score in a single quarter was still 2 points behind the Knicks. This is no longer a matter of state, but a gap in overall strength.
In this kind of game that they know they will lose, it is really ghostly for Thunder fans to watch it.
In the second half, the Thunder basically gave up resistance.
The best proof is that Westbrook is getting hotheaded again...
No, this time it was directly hot.
His characteristic is that he doesn't care when his head is hot~www.mtlnovel.com~ he only knows to go on a rampage, and only has eyes for opponents and the basket.
Even Durant, don't even think about receiving the basketball at this time, let alone other teammates.
As long as Westbrook is not surrounded by three or four people, he will not think of passing the ball.
In the past, Durant would run without the ball and clap his hands, hoping to "cool down" Westbrook.
But now, Durant just stood outside the three-point line, quietly watching Westbrook fall into isolation mode.
Durant has lost faith in this game, and even in this series.
However, Westbrook's style of play is exactly what the Knicks want.
A hot-headed Westbrook is much easier to deal with than a clear-headed Westbrook.
Originally, D'Antoni wanted to defend James Harden in the third quarter.
After all, Harden's consecutive goals in the second quarter were relatively threatening.
However, I didn't expect Westbrook to help the Knicks solve this problem in advance.
Westbrook above, let alone Harden, Durant can't even catch the ball.
In the third quarter, the point difference continued to be widened in the Knicks' offense.
26 points, 28 points, 32 points... 36 points...
Finally, there are 4 minutes and 12 seconds left before the end of the third quarter.
Brooks couldn't bear it anymore, he replaced Westbrook and put him on the bench.
Although Brooks doesn't have much hope for this game, he doesn't want to see the Knicks break the record for the largest point difference in the finals against the Thunder.
If the Thunder is shamed in the much-anticipated Finals, he will be dismissed next season. Previous chapter table of contents bookmark back page
