Chapter 216
As a head coach, Donovan is very competent.
He told everyone before the game that Mudiay and Chandler of the Nuggets are the focus of defense!Sure enough, the problem lies with these two people.
As soon as the whistle blows, the game begins.
Adams jumped high and put the ball in front of Westbrook, and the Thunder got their first chance to attack.
Once in the game, Westbrook transformed into a supercar.Immediately after getting the ball, it started, and then Adams' cover, directly accelerated to the basket.Nurkic raised his long arm and blocked the route of Westbrook's shot.
Still, Westbrook is still a point guard.He is also a point guard with excellent passing ability.He didn't even look to see if his teammates were advancing.Throw the ball back, and Adams, who follows up, catches it!Then without a word, he succeeded in the mid-range shot!
2:0, the Thunder took the lead.
Looking back, Nurkic received a pass from teammate Nelson in the low post.Turn around and break the bottom line, take off and shoot after an emergency stop.If you can't get in, if you go further in, you will be surrounded by Adams and Ilyasova.
Miss!
Ilyasova grabs the rebound!Hurry up to Westbrook.Westbrook, who got the ball, started immediately and launched a counterattack from the backcourt.In the blink of an eye, he rushed to the frontcourt, dodged Mudiay who was standing in a good position with a European step, and then threw the ball into the sky.Robertson, who followed up, leaped high and succeeded in smashing the buckle!
The two are really in harmony with each other!After all, they are teammates who have played together for several years!However, the only old men in the lineup are Westbrook Adams and Robertson!
The seven-point credit for this ball has to be credited to Westbrook.Not only did he pass a beautiful pass, but he also took away the two players that the Nuggets were defending.Robertson dunks very easily.
I have to say that Robertson is really lucky!With a guard who passes the ball like this, even if he has no shooting ability at all, he can still eat a few pies every game!Otherwise, no matter how good his defense is, his treatment would not be so good.Not to mention an early renewal!
An Luo remembered his work at the moment.He stood up and waved the towel exaggeratedly.Letting teammates know that you are paying attention to him and cheering for him is an indispensable point for a newcomer to integrate into the group.No one doesn't like to be praised.
Along with the cheers above the Thunder's bench, there was a huge boo at the Pepsi Center.For these fans, the most intolerable thing is that the opponent is showing off their power on their own territory.
The players can't stand it either!
Mudiay faced Westbrook, changed direction and made a breakthrough and then took a big step back to the right.Westbrook made a mistake in his busy schedule and was shaken away by the opponent.Mudiay pulled it up suddenly, CIC!There are so many shadows of McGrady!
Okay, the ball is still missing!
The basketball flew in the direction of Westbrook.He jumped lightly and took the rebound.Before he could say thank you to Mudiay, Westbrook turned around and rushed forward. As soon as he passed the center line, he passed directly to Oladipo in the bottom corner, who caught the ball and shot!
"Shh!"
Three point hit!
7:0, the Thunder made a good start in the away game.Of course, this is thanks to the blacksmiths of the Nuggets, who did not make consecutive progress and gave the Thunder a chance.
Mike Malone shouted a few words at his players from the sidelines, not about to call a timeout to interrupt the game.If the players want to grow up as soon as possible, more often they have to adjust themselves.
Mudiay advanced with the ball, and Nurkic pulled out to cover.Mudiay got rid of Westbrook and went straight to the basket.He's fast, but it's dangerous to rush in like this.Adams has returned to the penalty area, and Westbrook is not far behind.It is conceivable that if Mudiay lays up, he is likely to be blocked.
Fortunately, Mudiay himself knew very well that he did not come by himself.Instead, after rushing up, he passed the ball from behind to Nurkic who went to the free throw line.After receiving the ball, the latter immediately passed it to Nelson who slipped in from the baseline.Nelson, who received the ball, glided under the basket and succeeded in picking the basket with a backhand!
7:2, the home team finally scored!
The Thunder continued to attack.Ilyasova received the ball in the high position and gave it to Adams in the high and low positions.The latter faced Nurkic, leaned on the opponent, and then turned around and hooked with that force!
The ball went in!The Thunder were very efficient tonight.
But the Nuggets responded immediately.After they broke the scoring drought, the efficiency of both ends of the defense returned to normal.
First, Faried received Nurkic's point under the basket, feinted a shot, and then got up and put the basket successfully!Turning around, Chandler blocked Adams' layup.The rebound was picked up by Nurkic and then passed long to Nelson.After the latter received the ball, he immediately launched a counterattack.He rushed to the penalty area in three steps and flew to the basket!The entire counterattack process takes less than 3 seconds.
Nelson actually picked up a ball!He just ran across the center line, and when he saw the ball flying over, he ran back immediately.Thunder players can only watch the opponent put the ball in.
The ball returned to the Thunder again, Adams sent the ball to the baseline, and Westbrook slowly brought the ball to the frontcourt.Mudiay didn't stick it up for defense. After all, Westbrook's breakthrough caused far more damage than the shot, so Malone gave him the task of choking the breakthrough and letting Westbrook shoot.
Westbrook felt underestimated!This is not allowed!You must let the other party see what you are capable of.
Just do it!He pulls up and shoots from beyond the arc.This is what the Nuggets are very happy to see, and they wish Westbrook would keep shooting like this.
"boom!"
The result is also what the Nuggets are happy to see.
Nurkic grabs the rebound and hands the ball to Mudiay, who throws his arms and runs downfield.Westbrook followed the opponent closely, and it was normal for him to miss a ball, and it didn't matter.
Mudiay was a little uncomfortable being defended by Westbrook, so he handed the ball to his teammates, and he led Westbrook into the crowd.
After Chandler received the ball, he didn't immediately attack.Robertson's defense is still very powerful.He stretched out his hand, gestured to his teammates, and called for cover.Faried came out immediately, and his broad body blocked Robertson firmly.Without the threat, Chandler then pulled up the screen and shot.
"Shh!"
Hollow into the network!
9:9, the Nuggets tied the score in a wave.
The fans in the Pepsi Center were shouting and excited as if they had won 500 million yuan!
Donovan called a timeout.For more than a minute, the Thunder didn't score too much.And judging from the Nuggets' defensive strength, it's not enough for them to lose points.So the problem lies with me.Most importantly, the Thunder's defense has been poor for a while.Just like the ball just now, if Ilyasova changed it immediately, he might have been defended.
