With Holiday missing a three-pointer at the buzzer, the score in the first quarter was fixed at 30:29.Under Rose's outstanding performance, the Thunder only led the Knicks by 1 point.
After the first quarter, Rose made 7 of 4 shots, including two three-pointers. While scoring 10 points, he also sent 3 assists.Not only was he the Knicks' best player, but he was the best player of the ten players on the floor.In addition to him, Porzingis' performance also delighted fans who had hoped for the Knicks.Played 8 minutes, 8 points, 5 rebounds and 1 block.It seems that the Knicks trained him as an inside core, but it is rare that he is not blind.
Anthony is average, his offensive desire on the court is not strong, and he surrendered 7 points and 4 rebounds.For him, it barely counts as a passing grade.
For the Thunder, Westbrook is naturally the best performer.Judging from his statistics, 8 points, 5 assists and 5 rebounds still continued his consistent all-round performance this season.Tonight is undoubtedly another triple-double night.
An Luo played for more than 4 minutes, made one of two shots and scored a three-pointer.Without Westbrook and Christon, his chances of catching the ball are indeed much less!
Donovan now splits An Luo's playing time.Generally, he will be sent to the field in the second half of the first quarter.But that's just a regular rotation, so that Oladipo or Westbrook can go off and rest.The team's tactics will not revolve around him.
If we say that the starting lineups of the two teams tonight are fairly evenly matched.That substitute lineup, the gap is too obvious!Of course, the problem is not with the Thunder.The Knicks' bench performed particularly poorly!
An Luo has always been very good, and he is the most stable scoring point on the Thunder's bench and even the whole team.But tonight, the best backup player on the Thunder wasn't him.
As soon as he came up, Christon and Kanter came to an alley-oop.In fact, the Thunder have only a few tactics, and the pick-and-roll is the most basic.Whether it is Adams or Kanter, they can play pick-and-roll tactics with outside players very well.Especially when Westbrook is on the court, with his passing ability, these two insiders have benefited a lot.
Christon's ability is also good.
Jennings, who the Knicks had high hopes for, hit two irons as soon as he played!This person also had the opportunity to become a great god back then.In his rookie season, he broke the record held by LeBron James as the youngest player to score more than 50 points.That season, Jennings became the hope of the Bucks.
Even if he came to the Pistons later, he was the core of the team.Tragically, in January 2015, Jennings tore his left Achilles tendon and was out for the season.Jennings became another talented player slumped to injury.
By this season, his performance has completely fallen out of the team's main lineup.On the bench, there are very few bright performances.
Kanter grabbed the rebound over Hernangomez and threw it straight to Christon from beyond the arc.The latter slapped the ball vigorously, and then rushed towards the frontcourt.
An Luo moved faster!When Kanter gets the rebound, he moves.As soon as Christon crossed the center line, he threw the ball directly.After receiving the ball, An Luo took a step forward, then stood up with one foot and threw the ball.
From getting the rebound to An Luo's shot, the whole process took only three seconds.
"Shh!"
The clear sound of swiping the net sounded in Madison Garden, and An Luo's three-point chase made the audience hooked.
Come back, Jennings is still holding the ball, this time he is much more stable.Feeling that his hand is not very good, Jennings did not make a hard shot.He made a circle along the baseline, and after he came out, he lobbed the ball inside.
After receiving the ball, O'Quinn, who went down, held the basketball high and started directly, scoring a layup.
This ball can be described as quite thrilling.After O'Quinn dialed the ball away, Kanter and Grant chased and blocked the shot.The two long arms, one black and one white, shot toward the basketball almost simultaneously.A little slower, this big hat will be eaten properly!
On the big screen in the center of the court, the ball was replayed immediately.O'Quinn had just finished his celebration, and An Luo had already hit another three-pointer.
It turned out that after O'Quinn scored the goal.Kanter immediately served the baseline ball, and Christon threw it directly to An Luo who had already run across the center line.At this time, only Jennings followed An Luo on the Knicks side.
Jennings' defense, not to mention a colander, isn't great either.An Luo slightly controlled the rhythm, paused, and then accelerated and took two steps forward.Close to the three-point line, pull up and shoot.
Jennings could only raise his hands to show that he worked hard!In that position, he really didn't dare to reach out to interfere with An Luo anymore. If he made a slight movement behind the opponent, it would be a foul.
An Luo's ball announced the prelude to the Thunder opening up the point difference.Next, Kanter and An Luoli bloomed outside, and within 5 minutes, they beat the Knicks 12:0.In addition to the previous time, the Thunder has led the Knicks by 16 points during Westbrook's playing time!
And this point difference was further expanded after Donovan made a substitution.
In the third quarter, Rose broke out again.He even played better than the first quarter.Whether it is scoring or organizing the team, he has done everything he can do.
At the end of the third quarter, the Thunder led the Knicks by 96 points 71:25!In the last quarter, An Luo and Oladipo went up and played alone for 5 minutes, but Westbrook didn't go up.This season, he has become accustomed to the treatment of clocking in three quarters.
In the end, the Thunder defeated the Knicks 124:110.A three-game winning streak.Westbrook scored 28 points, 24 rebounds and 11 assists in just 13 minutes.Westbrook, who is in charge of his own home, is getting better and better, and his Thunder is also recovering to the strongest.
And in this game, the Thunder is not the only one who performed well by Westbrook.Also outstanding are An Luo with 21 points, Oladipo with 20 points and Kanter with 26 points.
Although Rose scored 34 points and 10 assists, he was unable to support himself. He faced the Thunder with four players scoring more than 20 at the same time!It's an honor to be defeated!
After this game, the Thunder officially ended all their games in November.The next game will have to wait until December [-]nd.There are two days of rest in between.This is so precious to these players!
They lost only five of the sixteen games played throughout November.This includes the four-game losing streak when An Luo hit the "rookie wall".In An Luo's normal game, the Thunder only lost one game.It can be seen how much An Luo's effect on the Thunder is now.
On the plane back, everyone was very happy.Because they were all invited to Westbrook's fashion party.An Luo also readily accepted his invitation.Although he doesn't understand Westbrook's fashion, it doesn't prevent him from gathering and having fun with everyone.
