Chapter 236 Luck
But Donovan ultimately left the decision up to the players.Or it was handed over to Westbrook.
Of course, he still made arrangements for possible situations.If An Luo's opportunity comes up, he will make a decisive move.Playing three-pointers, Adams and Kanter paid attention to controlling the rebounds.If An Luo didn't run out of position, or Westbrook himself didn't have the desire to shoot a three-pointer, then hit the inside.Adams and Kanter set a screen.
He did not require any tactics to be played, or any effect that must be played.After all, on the field, everything is unknown.The changes in the situation are very complicated, and the reaction of the players is the most direct factor in determining the game.
Adams throws the kick.He was taller and had a much wider field of vision.
Suddenly the pitch became very quiet.Players from both sides are ready to fight, as if a big battle is coming.From the moment Adams took the basketball from the referee, An Luo, Westbrook, and Oladipo all moved at the same time at that moment, constantly running back.In order to be able to shake off the defender and get the chance to catch the ball.
But the other party didn't want to give them such a chance.The defensive players are following closely! The time of 5 seconds was fleeting, and it was about to violate the serve, so Donovan hurriedly called another timeout.
The sideline ball is always a worldwide problem!It is a reflection of the comprehensive performance of the players' covering ability, passing ability and running ability.
First of all, the number of the serving side is at a disadvantage.The position of the player who serves is fixed, which is equivalent to 4 vs 5 on the court.And for these professional players, it is not difficult to influence a sideline kick.
The second is that the time is very short, only 5 seconds.During these 5 seconds, the server must send the ball.The other 4 players need to find a suitable position to catch the ball by running and covering the other 5 players.This is the hardest!
What's more, in many cases, players on the field cannot find a good opportunity to catch the ball.At this time, the server needs to make a judgment.Whether to throw it to a tall guy or bounce it off the ground depends on the player's reaction ability and passing ability.
Obviously, Adams is still a little worse in this regard.
As a last resort, Donovan could only let Westbrook serve.This time there is no pause!He has to deal with it well, and then he has to organize the last attack.
The burden is heavy!But this burden must be carried by him!As the boss of the team, Westbrook must stand up at this time to help the team out of the difficulties.
Back on the court again, both sides are still in that formation.It was Capela who interfered with Westbrook's serve.According to his height and wingspan, it can cause a lot of trouble for Westbrook.
But Westbrook is not Adams, passing the ball is his housekeeping skill.After he took the ball, his eyes swept across the court quickly, and then he pushed the ball to the basket, and rushed into the court by himself.
Oladipo, who was running in different directions, cooperated with Kanter. The former was fast and rushed directly to the right elbow, blocking Anderson who was closely following Kanter.Kanter accelerated directly and cut in the air.Then he jumped high and received a basketball from Westbrook!
Without hesitation, he held the ball in his right hand, took two steps forward quickly, and dialed the ball out before Ariza came over.The entire offensive process was very short. It took only a little over 4 seconds from the time Kanter received the ball to when he shot.
This is actually not the result Donovan most wants to see.He originally thought that after receiving the ball, he would pass it to Westbrook, then press the time, and then score, equalize or kill the game.
But things have come to this point, and it's too late to think so much.Without a timeout, he could only watch the players play.
The basketball that Kanter dialed out hit the edge of the basket and did not fall into the net bag.This made the fans at the scene very disappointed.The heart that had been put down once again came to his throat.
Fortunately, the rebound was grabbed by Westbrook!But he can only score 5 points for this rebound, and the other 5 points have to be counted on Adams.He stuck Capela and Anderson alone!
There are more than 10 seconds left in the game.
Westbrook got the basketball and immediately got rid of the opponent's siege, and then rushed beyond the three-point line.He needs a wide environment, and then organize this attack well.
At this time, the Chesapeake Energy Arena became quiet again.Everyone dared not make a sound, for fear of affecting the players on the field.
The Thunder cooperated very well this time.Both Adams and Kanter pulled out to cover for Westbrook, and An Luo directly penetrated from the right baseline to the left corner, attracting the opponent's defensive force.
Westbrook used the cover and rushed directly into the inside line.But Capela and Ariza were not slow. One of these two guys stood firm outside the collision zone, raised his hands, and blocked Westbrook's layup route.The other followed closely. If Westbrook made a rash shot, it would probably be a chasing hat.
But Westbrook is not a player who only knows how to do it.His actions drove most of the opponent's defensive force, so that An Luo, who slipped to the right corner again, was emptied!Beverly, who was closest to him, was two meters away.
Westbrook didn't hesitate, he just threw the ball over.
An Luo, who received the ball, also did not hesitate.Use your legs, pull them up and throw.
This ball is definitely the most worrying ball for Oklahoma City fans this season.The orange ball swirled in the air, drawing a beautiful arc.Regular game time ends with the beep of the timer.
Everything is on this last ball.
It seemed as if a century had passed before a deep voice finally came out of the Chesapeake Energy Arena.
"boom!"
At that moment, the Thunder players who stood up to celebrate held their heads in their hands, a little in disbelief.No one expected that An Luo, who has always been so accurate in three-pointers, missed the ball in the face of an open space!
An Luo himself was taken aback!But on second thought, isn't this normal?The minimum hit rate is 45%, but not 100%.It's just a pity that Westbrook made that beautiful pass!
"Sorry! Russell!"
An Luo hugged Westbrook who was walking towards him, and said softly.
"Listen, man." Westbrook touched An Luo's head, then looked at him, and said seriously: "No one can make every shot [-]%. At that moment, it is enough to make a shot! As for whether to enter or not, that is God's business."
