Chapter 271
In the current Thunder, few people think that they are not considered a strong team.With his teammates, Westbrook defeated one strong team after another and proved himself.
The game against the Cavaliers has gradually entered the same rhythm as the Warriors!
The players on the field worked very hard, but the audience watching this game feasted their eyes.
Although they didn't go all out, it was already a rare game for the regular season.
Until the last 2 minutes, the two sides finally entered the sprint stage of this long-distance race.
The first to attack was the Thunder.
Westbrook received the ball in the backcourt. His speed was very fast, and he came to the top of the arc and beyond the three-point line in a few steps.
Owen's speed is not slow either.He was always in a good defensive position against Westbrook.However, when Westbrook bowed to Buddha, he squeezed Irving away.But he didn't come by himself. After all, there is Thompson under the basket, and James behind him is also eyeing.So he went to the basket, attracted the attention of the defender, and passed the ball to An Luo in the left corner.
After the latter received the ball, he did not shoot immediately.Shumpert arrived at An Luo's eyes almost at the same time as the basketball.And it was very tight, An Luo didn't have enough confidence to hit the ball.He guided the ball to Oladipo Sabonis, who was not far from his right.The latter is in a state of being emptied!
After receiving the ball, Sabonis Jr. made some adjustments and then threw the ball.
However, the ball was not scored!The basketball spun around the hoop and flew out the right side.
But Adams made it over Thompson's head!This attack has drawn a successful conclusion.
Looking back, Irving went to the basket in disguise.Probably because he was eager to make a contribution, he did not observe the positions of other players, but directly leaned against Robertson who was following up, a big windmill avoided the opponent's hand hitting the basketball, and threw the ball onto the backboard.He wanted to hit the board and score a goal.It's a pity that the force seemed to be too much, the basketball bounced back and hit the front of the basket and flew out.
After Westbrook lost Irving, he went directly to the basket and snatched the rebound from Love's head.After landing, he rushed up with the ball.
This is really powerful.Whenever Westbrook grabs a defensive rebound, it is immediately the beginning of a counterattack fast break.
With his speed, he killed the opponent's inside line in an instant.There were five people on the court who participated in this offensive and defensive battle.The first ones are Westbrook and Irving.Followed by James and An Luo, and finally Oladipo.
Westbrook didn't force himself, he was still a little afraid of James behind him.So he once again gave the ball to An Luo who was outside the three-point line.
After the latter catches the ball, he raises his hand and is about to shoot.But at this time, James, who was following Oladipo, suddenly accelerated and stuck in front of An Luo.
This is the second time An Luo has played against James in this game, which is very similar to the first time.With about 8 minutes left in the second quarter, An Luo held the ball and got rid of Shumpert's defense under the cover of Kanter.Just when he pulled up to shoot, a majestic figure appeared in front of his eyes!
That figure is James!
An Luo didn't know why James in the third position switched to the second position.But by the time he reacted, it was too late to make other actions.
The result was undoubtedly cruel, and James gave An Luo a strong James-style hot pot.
"Rookie! With me around, the shells can't fly out!"
After finishing speaking, the opponent shrugged his shoulders and continued to defend.
Now, James once again appeared before An Luo's year.Of course, this time, he has room for maneuver.
In fact, under such circumstances, it is the most sensible for An Luo to hand the ball to Oladipo near the free throw line.
But An Luo didn't do that.He is also an unyielding person!That block was not the first time he was blocked, but it was indeed the first time someone blocked his three-point shot so cleanly.
He bent down and dribbled the ball several times in a row.Looking for an opportunity to create a little shooting space for myself.
"Hey rookie. Do you not trust your teammates? Or, do you think you can score in front of me?"
An Luo suddenly accelerated, stretched out his left hand to block the opponent, and broke through to the front right.James thought An Luo was going to rush over, so he quickly leaned to the right.But An Luo pulled the ball back suddenly after two steps, and took a big step back.
It was too late for James to stop An Luo's shot!He can jump over now, but the distance is a bit far, and he can't play a good role in interference.And it's easy to get fouled if you make a big move!
So James just held back symbolically.The basketball was pulled out by An Luo and plunged into the net bag.
"Hey! Veteran! See? I can score on anyone!"
If you invest in it, you can pretend to be unscrupulous!
However, looking back, James responded.He broke through to the basket with the ball, forced Adams and caused a foul, scoring two plus one.
Subsequently, Westbrook and Irving each scored a goal.The score came to 96:95.The Thunder led by 1 point with 25 seconds left in the game.But the ball is in the hands of the Cavaliers, who have a full offensive round to solve the game.
Tyronn Lu arranged a pass.But in fact, the ball is handed over to James at the end, and he will arrange the final attack.
Thunder players know what they have to do.So Donovan didn't say much.Defense is originally the instinct of this Thunder team.
But they still didn't stop James!
The Cavaliers' sideline ball was delivered steadily, James controlled the ball at the top of the key, and when there were 8 seconds left, he moved.Thompson and Love set a double screen for James, but James didn't use it to break through.He accelerated to the right front of Thompson, and Robertson, who was following him, was blocked and failed to keep up.By the time he went around, the opponent had already thrown the ball.
No one expected that James would make such a choice!Even Tyronn Lu was dumbfounded.Of course, he's always been like that.
It's actually not a very reasonable offense.He can definitely rush in and hit a two-pointer steadily.It's best to run out of time, and in the remaining one or two seconds, the possibility of the thunder being able to kill is very small.
The most important thing is that James' three-pointers are not very accurate!Even if he has improved this season!In this game, he failed to score in the first two times.
But what is a superstar?He is someone who can score key goals at critical moments.
With a crisp sound, Quicken Loans Arena suddenly became a sea of joy.
