Chapter 284 Cruel
The time has entered April.The entire league is in a mess.Of course the Thunder had nothing to worry about, but they also had nothing to argue about.
The No. 60 Warriors in the West have won 55 wins, and they will definitely not be able to catch up.The second-placed Spurs have already won [-]. Although the Thunder still have a chance in theory, it is unnecessary.The third position in the West is just right for them.
So for the rest of the game, it will be easier for the Thunder.Donovan also began to think of ways to let his players rest.
Playing the Spurs, An Luo was unable to play "because" his back was strong, and he watched the entire game on the bench.
Oladipo still hasn't been able to return to the level he was at the beginning of the season.Westbrook was unable to support himself, and finally lost by 5 points.
The same scene appeared in the game against the Hornets.Although Westbrook's playing time was cut a lot by Donovan, his enthusiasm for playing has not weakened.An Luo is still on the injured list, and Oladipo is also rested due to injury.He alone carried the entire offensive and defensive ends of the outside line, which was indeed a bit stretched.
In the end, Westbrook once again had a 40+ triple-double.It was his second triple-double in six straight games this season and his 6th of the season.The victory was taken away by the Hornets.
After resting for two games due to illness, An Luo finally played against the Bucks.However, An Luo, who returned from injury, did not get a few minutes of playing time.Donovan originally wanted to rest Westbrook, but seeing that a decades-old record was about to be broken, he was unwilling to break it.
With An Luo's help, Westbrook finally breathed a sigh of relief.An Luo's state did not decline due to the two-game break. With the assist of Westbrook, he frequently fired shots from outside the three-point line, breaking the Bucks' defense line that was not tough enough.
In the end, the Thunder easily defeated the Bucks and avoided a three-game losing streak.Westbrook scored in double digits at the last minute.This made everyone sweat for him!After all, Westbrook's rebounds and assists have long been in double digits.
In the last few games, whether Westbrook can achieve a triple-double may be the most concerned thing for everyone.Fortunately, he managed it in this game!
With this triple-double, Westbrook set two historical records: one is to tie Oscar Robertson's 41 triple-doubles in a single season; Double, become No.1 in history.
There are still 5 games left, and he has every chance to break the Big O's record and become the No.1 triple-double in a single season.
Subsequently, under the excellent performance of Westbrook and An Luo, the Thunder defeated the Grizzlies and the Suns in a row.
In these two games, the Thunder won quite easily.It is a pity that people have not waited until the moment when Westbrook broke the record.
Against the Grizzlies, 25 points, 9 rebounds, 10 assists and 5 steals.
Against the Suns, 23 points, 12 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 steals.
This data is so embarrassing that everyone is surprised!
Facts have proved that Westbrook still cares more about the team's ability to win.
The next game against the Nuggets is quite special.Of course, this is nothing special for the Thunder, but for the Nuggets, it is indeed a necessary victory.If they lose, they will not be able to enter the playoffs.So the Nuggets played [-]% of their strength.
In fact, they have always had a chance to win.The Nuggets were on the leading side throughout the game, but they were never able to pull the score apart or make the Thunder give up.
Westbrook performed so well in this game!He entered a runaway state early, and achieved a triple-double in less than 3 minutes into the fourth quarter.You know, this is a triple-double that broke the record that has been dusty for more than 30 years.
At the end of the day, his limelight was taken away by An Luo!In the last minute of the game, the Thunder trailed the Nuggets by 1 point 99:100.Moreover, the ball is still in the hands of the Nuggets.
An Luo has been keeping an eye on Mudiay.Originally, this guy was playing the No. 8 position, but Harris made 1 of [-] shots under An Luo's defense and lost the trust of the Nuggets coach.Mudiay stepped forward.
This guy is many times better than Harris. He made 18 of 7 shots and scored 16 points!
In this offensive round, the ball was also in Mudiay's hands.An Luo kept sticking to him.Before that, the opponent's three-pointer was 2 shots.He didn't dare to let the opponent shoot like he did against Harris!
It was the first time Mudiay faced An Luo in this game.He seems to want to use his skills to show off.After all, in his heart, An Luo is a softie who can shoot three-pointers!
It's a pity that after he dribbled the ball continuously under his crotch, An Luo saw through his sudden start, and directly cut off the basketball pulled by the opponent from behind.This is not the most uncomfortable thing. What made the Nuggets most uncomfortable was that after this steal, An Luo directly controlled the ball and rushed out of the frontcourt three-point line, hitting a chasing three-pointer.Overtake the score!
This is the first time the Thunder has overtaken.But definitely the most important overtake.
Then, Murray walked past Westbrook to stare at Adams and scored a goal to tie the score.But he gave the Thunder 20 seconds to complete the final attack.
Westbrook spent more than half of the time before the middle circle, leaving only 6 seconds to attack.It looks like he wants to fight hard and finish the battle within the regular time.
However, the Nuggets defended him very well.Murray has been pestering him from the outside. Although he couldn't prevent Westbrook from breaking through, he didn't give him a chance to make a long shot.Once inside the three-point line, Jokic, Chandler and Gallinari are all waiting for him!
So in the last attack, Westbrook was a cover.The real executor was An Luo, who got rid of the defense and ran out of space under the cover of Adams and Kanter.
There were less than 3 seconds left when he caught the ball. Time was running out, and he had no time to think and adjust his body shape. There was only one word in his mind: shoot!
This three-point shot touched the hearts of countless people!All the Nuggets players and the Denver fans in the audience raised their hearts and prayed that the goal would not be scored.
"Shh!"
The basketball hits the net!It seems that God is not at home tonight.The wishes of the Denver people were not heard.
Everyone in the Pepsi Center was devastated.After losing this game, they completely missed the playoffs.A season of hard work came to naught.
This is the cruelty of the NBA.
