Chapter 239

During the intermission, the Thunder players quickly returned to the locker room.They are very concerned about Oladipo's injury now.To be honest, in the NBA, player injuries are very common.After all, injuries are part of the game.But when it really happened to me, it was still hard to accept.

Oladipo must be very depressed.But the good news is that his injury was not serious this time, and it will not affect his future development.But the injury is on the wrist, and he will definitely miss some games.

In addition to the players, a group of reporters has been gathered outside the locker room.It seems that everyone is very concerned about this matter.

After confirming the injury, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.Well, now it's time to tackle the game.In the first half, he had no temper at all when he was beaten by the opponent. If he didn't respond, it would definitely not be Thunder's style.

An Luo needs to take on more responsibilities, and he must give Westbrook enough help.In the current staffing configuration, without a sharp breakthrough Oladipo, Westbrook will definitely increase his efforts to hit the basket. At this time, An Luo needs to give enough threat from the outside. Involve the opponent's defense.

At the beginning of the second half, Donovan did not let the bench lineup play half a quarter as before.He directly sent players here such as Westbrook and Adams to the field.Of course, An Luo is still the same as before, appearing at the beginning of the third quarter.

As soon as it came up, the Celtics opened up on the offensive end.

Horford hit a three-pointer, and then Westbrook was blocked by Smart for a layup. Horford grabbed a rebound and assisted Bradley to hit a super long three-pointer.All of a sudden opened the score to 16 points!

Donovan folded his arms and stood on the sidelines.When Westbrook advanced with the ball, he quickly said a few words to him.An Luo didn't hear it very clearly, but it should be reminding Westbrook to control the rhythm and stabilize his position first.Less than a minute into the second half, Donovan had no intention of calling a timeout.

"Ann, when I play inside, you must try to get out of the way! I will pass the ball to you."

Westbrook called An Luo to cover himself, but he actually wanted to tell An Luo.In fact, during the halftime break, Donovan arranged for An Luo to swim around the three-point line, and when the ball passed to him, he shot decisively.Because his position is at the back, he must also shoulder the defensive task of the opponent's quick counterattack.

He actually always remembered what he was supposed to do.

There was a hand-to-hand pass with Westbrook, and then An Luo passed the basketball back to the opponent.He began to shuttle back and forth between several of his favorite spots.Bradley has been following him, and the opponent also understands how much energy this Chinese player, who doesn't look very strong, has in his body.

When it comes to pick-and-rolls, Adams can do it well for Westbrook.He's big enough to cover defenders and give Westbrook enough room to drive inside.Facing Horford and Smart again, Westbrook was no match.He was clearly anxious, how strong this strong man who replaced Thomas Jr. as the starting No. [-] was, his physical fitness was superb.

As if he had eyes in the back of his head, he threw the ball over the three-point line.Looking at the direction of the ball, there are no Thunder players there.But it's definitely not a mistake.An Luo used his teammates' pick-and-roll to get rid of Bradley with an acceleration. Before he took two steps, the basketball flew into his hands.

He caught the ball very easily!Easy to vote too!He took a step forward by inertia, straightened his body, and faced the basket.He pulled it up and threw the basketball.Bradley, who squeezed past Sabonis and caught up, could only raise his right hand high for the final struggle, hoping to interfere with An Luo's shooting.He can actually be more powerful, but that is also easy to be fouled by the referee.When encountering a player with strong foul-making ability, he can seize the opportunity to go to the free throw line.

Hitting this three-pointer, An Luo scored in double figures.Since that four-game losing streak, he hasn't scored less than 15 points.From the looks of it, this match won't be the same.

In the process of returning to defense, An Luo and Westbrook clapped hands in the middle circle to celebrate.

"Ann, great work!"

"Russell, you passed the ball so well!"

Westbrook really passed the ball well!If you want to calculate by 10 points, Westbrook must get at least 5 points!He's getting almost half of the defensive attention.You know, in the second quarter, An Luo was quickly double-teamed by Bradley and Claude several times and lost his shot.

"Defence!"

"Defence!"

……

The home fans, led by the DJ, shouted in unison.While cheering for your own players, it is actually a reminder.To win a game, you must not only score goals, but also defend well.

An Luo stuck to Bradley.This guy has improved his three-point shooting a lot this season.Before that, he hit an ultra-long three-pointer directly in An Luo's face.He doesn't dare to be careless now!

Smart advanced with the ball.He is very strong physically, and he is not at all afraid of Westbrook in confrontation.But Westbrook will not be as reckless as him.While holding the opponent, he put it to the left. Smart is not a player who likes to break through from the left.

When Smart's position was deep, Adams immediately double-teamed him. In a hurry, he could only pass the ball to Bradley in the right elbow.But the pass was poor quality, and Bradley wasn't positioned well.An Luo has been stuck between him and Smart.When the ball flew over, An Luo didn't make too much effort, and it broke.

Westbrook is like a sharp arrow off the string, rushing to his frontcourt.He had to step on the accelerator into the mailbox, because when he started, An Luo had already thrown the ball over.

Westbrook caught the ball one step inside the free throw line.The pass was a bit poor, thanks to Westbrook, otherwise this opportunity to counterattack would have been wasted.

Westbrook, who got the ball, soared directly into the sky.He stretched his body in the air, raised the ball high in his right hand, and then dunked the ball heavily into the basket.

After dunking, Westbrook clenched his fists and roared loudly towards the audience.Nearly 2 people in the Chesapeake Energy Arena also gave a huge response, and they chanted "MVP" in unison.The momentum of the home court suddenly rose.

Two consecutive attacks, both from Westbrook and An Luo.One assist per person, one goal per person.The cooperation between them became more and more tacit, and their lethality became stronger and stronger.

With Westbrook's dunk, the Thunder also officially blew the rhythm of chasing points.
