Chapter 268 A Big Victory
There will certainly be days of turmoil about Westbrook's loss to the All-Star Game starting lineup.The polarization between players and fans has kept the heat of this discussion high.But for An Luo, everything is moving in the best direction.
The first is that An Luo was selected for a very attractive project of the All-Star Weekend: the Rookie Challenge.
This year's All-Star is still the American team against the world team, and this is the third consecutive year that the Rookie Challenge has adopted this format.The U.S. team is made up of 10 first- and second-year U.S. players led by Karl-Anthony Towns, Devin Booker and D'Angelo Russell.The World Team consists of 10 first- and second-year international players, Joel Embiid, Anlow and Kristap Porzingis.
The specific list is as follows:
Native American teams: Towns (Timberwolves), Booker (Suns), Russell (Lakers), Okafor (76ers), Myles Turner (Pacers), Jonathan Simmons (Spurs), Kaminsky (Hornets), Ingram (Lakers), Bro Gordon (Bucks) and Chriss (Suns).
World Alliance: An Luo (Thunder), Embiid (76ers), Porzingis (Knicks), Jokic (Nuggets), Murray (Nuggets), Exum (Jazz), Hield (Pelicans), Mudiay (Nuggets), Saric (76ers), Sabonis Jr. (Thunder).
Judging from the current staffing, the World Alliance has the upper hand.The U.S. team has a feeling of lack of talent.
In addition to the rookie plug, there is also a three-point contest.
Although An Luo has not yet been selected for the three-point contest, An Luo himself has already indicated to the media that he wants to participate.According to his performance this season, he is qualified as the "three-point leader" in the league so far.
I didn't pay much attention to the debate on social media, after all, the current game is the most important thing.
After a few days of rest, the Thunder and his team went to Utah to challenge the Jazz.
An Luo has lived comfortably these few days.Except for necessary training, he doesn't go out much.Just stay at home and talk on the phone with Tang Xiaoru.Or chat with Fu Yao and Old Man An.In fact, An Luo still missed them very much and hadn't seen them for a long time.
The city of Utah is no worse than Denver.Fortunately, he had experienced it, so An Luo didn't have much discomfort.
During the training before the game, a reporter interviewed Westbrook, which made people like An Luo and Adams happy for a long time.
"Gobert's defense at the basket is very good, especially in the last three games, how are you going to deal with him?"
The question is rather general.After all, Gobert plays a big role in the Jazz's defensive system.According to the current performance, he has the opportunity to compete for the best defensive player.
But Westbrook's reaction is interesting.He just left with a smile.
The contempt of the king is terrifying!
An Luo didn't know if Gobert would know about it before the game.But if you know it, it really doesn't make a difference.Now Westbrook has the qualifications to despise all defenders at the basket.
In fact, compared with the Jazz, the Thunder's inside line really suffers.Adams continued to miss the game, allowing them to be greatly suppressed on both ends of the offense and defense.
But the Thunder's outside players made a contribution.
At the beginning of the game, Westbrook rushed very fiercely.If the inside line suffers, he must use his own ability to cause enough damage to the opponent.
He scored 10 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists in the first quarter, half a triple-double is already in his hands.An Luo and Oladipo are also very good, one charges and the other strikes from a distance.When Westbrook was resting, he carried the Thunder's offense.
The two sides scored 28:28 in the first quarter.Under the leadership of Hayward, the Jazz resisted the first wave of offensive.
In the second quarter, An Luo led the bench to a stalemate with half of the Jazz's main lineup.Box and Exum became the Jazz's surprise soldiers.
But after Westbrook reappeared, he quickly gained the upper hand.
Without An Luo's stable output, he strengthened his personal attack.The Jazz was careless, and he brought the pace of the game to a fast pace. Coupled with his good touch in the middle and long distances, he scored 4 points in a row in just 14 minutes, including 4 shots and 4 free throws.
This is not the most important thing, his role is fully displayed in the next few minutes.After successfully attracting the attention of the defense, Westbrook wasted no time setting the ball for his teammates.At 2 minutes and 12 seconds before halftime, he assisted Sabonis to hit a three-pointer; at 1 minute and 07 seconds, he released the ball in time after a successful steal to help Robertson quickly and easily dunk.After halftime, he has scored 22 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists. The Thunder also lead their opponents 56-53.
As soon as the third quarter came up, the three-back lineup of Westbrook, Oladipo and An Luo once again demonstrated their power.
Facing the Jazz's change of formation, the Thunder used their speed and long-range strikes to tear the Jazz's iron wall to pieces.An Luo made continuous contributions from outside the three-point line. The breakthroughs of Westbrook and Oladipo gave Gobert the ability to defend the basket, but he could only sit on the bench because of fouls.
In the fourth quarter, Westbrook was even more out of control. Not only did he hit two goals in the middle and long range, but he also sent assists to An Luo and Kanter successively.12.9 seconds before the end, Westbrook made a strong attack and caused a foul by the opponent. He made two free throws and the Thunder led 112:92 to 20 points.
Subsequently, the Jazz gave up the last attack.Hayward stopped attacking after halftime and let the time run out.
After losing to the Warriors, the Thunder was not affected too much and won a big victory in the away game.
本场比赛，威斯布鲁克砍下了38分10板10助4断1帽！当然，其他球员也很优秀。安洛25分4抢断，罗伯森8分11篮板2助攻，奥拉迪波18分4篮板，坎特14分5篮板。
爵士这边，费沃斯10分10篮板2断，海沃德17分6篮板，戈贝尔12分9篮板4盖帽，乔治·希尔9分2篮板3助攻，伯克斯13分2篮板2助攻。
Westbrook, who scored a triple-double again, was very happy.This is not only Westbrook's 24th triple-double this season, but also his 61st career triple-double.Prior to this, he had surpassed Larry Bird and became the fifth player with triple-doubles.Currently on this list, the top four players are: Robertson (181 times), "Magic" Johnson (138 times), Kidd (107 times), and Chamberlain (78 times).
In theory, Westbrook has the opportunity to surpass the "big coach" this season.But if you want to go further, you have to wait until at least next season.
But for Westbrook, it's only a matter of time!
