The injury didn't affect Thompson's attack. He made three shots in the first half of the first quarter: a layup, a forced three-point shot and a difficult mid shot. The warrior's opening strategy is very obvious, which is to expose the disadvantage of Lefu at the defensive end. Shortly after the opening of the first quarter, Thompson directly made a three-point hit in the face of Lefu's defense. Thompson scored seven points in the first quarter.
With 9:15 left in the second quarter, Thompson received Durant's assist from the right corner, and a long two-point hit helped the warrior to lead to 9-point stop. At the end of half-time, Thompson scored 10 points and 1 rebounded from 4 of 8 shots.
The Cavaliers obviously recovered in the second half. After the third quarter, the attack efficiency improved a lot, and the difference was reduced to 10 points again. With seven minutes left in the third quarter, Thompson pushed the ball to the front court alone, but his teammates did not follow up in time. He directly shot three-point shots in the right side of the arc top facing the defense, and the warriors expanded the lead to double digits.
After Lefu hit three points in a row and hit five points in a row, Thompson gave a response again. In the singles, the knight's inner line TT jumped under the basket to resist TT's defensive up and down the basket hit. In the next round, Thompson directly singled out against Lefu's change of defense, breaking through the difficulty of stopping at the top of the forbidden area and retreating to hit. After the Cavaliers chased 5 points again, Thompson changed the three-point chance to make a shot in the attack. In the third quarter, Thompson scored 10 points from 4-for-5, 3-for-3 and 2-for-2.
The Knights rely on the three points of Lefu to launch a counterattack in the third quarter and attack 34 points, but the warriors resist the Knights' attack and cut 31 points in the third quarter. In fact, Curie did not find the rhythm in the third quarter. He only got 1 point and 1 assists for 5 shots in a single quarter. The warrior can resist the knight's counter attack, and Thompson's 10 points in a single quarter is a great achievement.
The last game was a performance by Kuri alone. He hit 5-3 points in a single quarter to take the game away. Thompson's data did not change. After the game, Thompson made 8-for-13, 3-for-8, and scored 20 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assists. Although not as crazy as Curry's performance, the super stable performance in the first and third quarters of Tomson is also an important factor for the warriors to lead the way to suppress the Cavaliers' counter attack.
