Otherwise, the Thunder really can't keep up with the Suns' firepower.

In the end, the two teams were tied at 35-34 at the end of the first quarter, and the Thunder managed to hold on to the score without letting the point difference widen.

Kevin Durant was like "Thor coming to the world" in the first quarter, scoring 14 points in a single quarter.

He is the player with the highest score in a single quarter of both teams.

But Gentry doesn't blame Ariza.

There's a reason why Kevin Durant averages 30 points per game.

In addition, and most importantly, he can see clearly from the sidelines. He can understand Ariza's defensive strategy and his purpose of doing so.

Looking at Kevin Durant who was out of breath when he came off the court, he felt that if he defended like this, the effect would be obvious.

…

James Harden then came on the scene in the second quarter.

He was actually a little reluctant to appear.

Lin Ri's performance in the first quarter was so outstanding that the image of Westbrook shooting three consecutive shots is still lingering in James Harden's mind, and he can't get rid of it.

He can't give such a wonderful performance.

Hey~

If only Jeff were here!

Somehow, James Harden especially missed Jeff tonight.

Jeff sneezed.

"ball!"

James Harden came on the court and asked for the ball immediately.

Lin Ri's performance is so good, he can't let his guard down.

James Harden faced Goran Dragic, and with a simple test step, his confidence greatly increased.

This guy's defense isn't very good.

Then James dribbled continuously to shake the latter's center of gravity, and suddenly broke through along his right side. This action completely moved Dragic's entire center of gravity, and was directly thrown aside by James Harden.

"Whoosh!"

James Harden, who easily completed a layup, did a simple celebration when returning to defense. When passing by the auditorium where Sandek and three juniors were sitting, he deliberately slowed down and said in his heart: Don't

Laugh, don’t laugh, you must be cold at this time! I am a killer of emotions!

"James is so strong too!"

"Yes, this guy has made great progress!"

"This shaking is really great..."

James Harden just passed by and "happened" to hear the conversation between Sandeck and John Wall.

Very good, I didn’t embarrass the senior.

James Harden breathed a sigh of relief.

Brooks looked at James Harden who was returning to defense in "The Clouds Are Clear" and nodded slightly.

This guy is in good shape tonight!

Did this guy score a goal?

What James Harden didn't notice was that while he was returning to defense with an expressionless face, Stephen Curry, who was holding the ball in the backcourt, was staring at his back.

There was also a strong fighting spirit in his eyes.

He doesn't want to perform worse than James Harden.

At least in front of Lin Ri, the man who gave him a sense of security, he must prove that he is a better guy than James Harden.

Stephen Curry holds the ball through half court.

When he came to Livingston who was guarding him, he didn't hesitate to pull up and shoot.

"Whoosh!"

The ball goes in!

This attack lasted less than 9 seconds.

Stephen Curry responded to James Harden's shot with a three-pointer.

And this is a three-pointer that tops people.

Then, the conversation between Sandek and the others became...

"This guy is so strong!"

"He is also a rookie this year, right?"

"His name seems to be Stephen Curry, who averaged the highest scoring average in the entire NCAA Division I regular season last year."

"No wonder, he looks a little more fierce than Senior James."

James Harden:…

"Good job, just fight like this!"

Gentry also gave Stephen Curry a thumbs up.

Steve Nash was injured for two weeks, and Stephen Curry assumed the starting position during that period. Now it seems that this is quite obvious for his improvement.

This kind of improvement was not visible when Stephen Curry was still in the starting lineup, but now when he returns to the substitute rotation, his improvement can be seen at once.

In the past three games, Stephen Curry averaged 21.1 minutes per game and averaged 17 points per game! He averaged 3 to 4 three-pointers per game and his three-point shooting percentage was over 45%!

The condition is really great!

In this game, this guy obviously continued his excellent form and hit a three-pointer right from the start.

James Harden intentionally found Stephen Curry for a hit on the next possession.

John Wall and others are saying that Stephen Curry is stronger. How can James Harden swallow this tone?

Stephen Curry did not choose to switch defense, but faced James Harden's provocation.

However, it is indeed not an easy task for Stephen Curry to guard James Harden. The latter kept changing the rhythm of dribbling while shaking continuously. Stephen Curry, like Dragic, was knocked away.

"Whoosh!"

James Harden hits a mid-range jumper!

yes!

James Harden shouted in his heart.

He was so happy that the goal was scored.

As for why I am happy... I understand.

But ten seconds later, James Harden made a "Sima" face again.

Because Stephen Curry also came towards him with the ball, took one step outside the three-point line, pulled up and shot.

Such an unreasonable ball was knocked into the basket by him.

This ball directly ignited the screams of the entire stadium.

James Harden could clearly see that Lin Ri, Sandik, and John Wall all stood up after the ball was made and looked at Stephen Curry in surprise. This kid is too special.

You dare to vote!
