Chapter 366 Another Winning Streak
By winning the game against the Warriors, the Thunder further consolidated their top spot in the Western Conference.The Warriors who lost the game were overtaken by the Rockets behind them and dropped to third.
Although only one-fifth of this season's games have been played, the situation in the West has become relatively clear.The Rockets and Thunder who formed the "Big Three" lineup this summer, plus the four-star Warriors, these three super teams have become the first echelon.The remaining Trail Blazers, Spurs, and Pelicans can basically make the playoffs, and then the Jazz, Timberwolves, Nuggets, and Clippers are competing for the two spots.
Next, another wave of back-to-back games greeted the Thunder. On November 11, they continued to sit at home to meet the challenge of the Detroit Pistons from afar.
At the start of the game, the Thunder took the lead in entering the state.The Big Three each scored a goal and made a good start of 6:2.
However, the Pistons responded quickly. Although they did not have a player who could match the Thunder's "Big Three", they played a very perfect team game.They are almost all soldiers, and every player can contribute on the court.In the second half of the first quarter, the Pistons hit a total of five three-pointers, chasing back the score that the Thunder opened.At the last moment, Paul George scored a long two-pointer.Subsequently, the Pistons missed a three-pointer.In the end, the Thunder led the Pistons by 29 points at 27:2 and entered the second quarter.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Grant scored 4 points in a row to help the Thunder extend their lead to 6 points.Then the two sides played back and forth, and the point difference remained at about 5 points.However, with the appearance of Westbrook and An Luo, after a wave of 10:2, the Thunder led the point difference to 13 points and maintained it until the end of halftime.
In the second half, they changed sides and fought again.As soon as the Thunder came up, they played a 7:0 attack wave, widening the point difference to 20 points.It seems that this game is another big victory, coupled with a huge lead.The players of the Thunder began to commit their old problem-waves again.
But the Thunder was beaten 13:4 by the opponent.And the leader of this wave of offensive climax is the old Thunder player Reggie Jackson.This pissed off Donovan.He directly called a timeout and reprimanded these guys.
Next, the two sides returned to the stalemate stage.After three quarters, the Thunder led the Pistons by 77 points 67:10.
In the last quarter of the game, the Pistons took the lead in launching an offensive.Galloway hit two consecutive three-pointers to help the Pistons close the score, and then Bradley's three-pointer helped the Pistons tie the game with 2 minutes left in the game.
At this time, An Luo stood up.He faced Bradley's two three-pointers and helped the Thunder stabilize the situation.Although Harris scored 4 points in a row at the last moment, he still failed to reverse the game.
After solving the Pistons, the Thunder will rush to Dallas to challenge the Mavericks away.
Although it was the second back-to-back game, after defeating the Warriors, the Thunder's momentum was like a rainbow.Although the Mavericks have rebounded recently, they are still at the bottom of the West.As the German tanks get old, the Mavericks are really dying.
But in such a game, the Thunder did not play easily.
At the beginning of the game, Westbrook's desire to attack was very strong.He first hit the basket and made a layup, then caused a foul from outside the three-point line and made all three free throws.Under his leadership, the Thunder made a 9:2 start.But then the Mavericks suddenly found touch.After Barnes broke through for a layup, Matthews scored two more three-pointers in a row.The Mavericks played a wave of 8:0 offensive to overtake the score.
Paul George made a strong hit to help the Thunder regain the lead.But the Mavericks feel really good.With Kleber hitting a three-pointer, the Mavericks opened the score to 17:11.But then, Westbrook stepped forward, and he kept hitting the Mavericks' penalty area, causing a lot of damage.But in this quarter of the game, other Thunder players did not provide him with much help.Therefore, after the first quarter, the Thunder fell behind 24:25.
It can be seen that back-to-back matches are not a small burden for these professional players.After all, not everyone is an iron man like Westbrook and James.
In the second quarter, Nowitzki hit a three-pointer as soon as he came up, and then he scored 6 points in a row, leading the Mavericks to a 12:0 offensive climax.Pulled the score to 37:24.In the first 4 minutes, the Thunder failed to score a single point.Paul George's offensive desire is not strong, and other players have limited abilities.Donovan can only replace Westbrook and An Luo early.
After returning, An Luo rushed to the inside and hit a jumper, breaking the scoring drought for the Thunder.Then, he made three of three shots from beyond the three-point line, chasing the score to only 5 points.In the last minute of this section, Barnes made two free throws and once again opened the score to 1 points.But then, after a long silence, Paul George made his only shot in the second quarter.Then, Westbrook also had a three-pointer.The Thunder chased the point difference to 10 points and ended the first half.
In the second half, the Mavericks felt cold. They missed 6 consecutive offenses, but the Thunder turned the situation around in one fell swoop.Afterwards, the Mavericks counterattacked very strongly, closing the score several times, but they were all beaten back by the Thunder.
In the end, they defeated the Mavericks in an away game. After two consecutive losses, they won three consecutive victories.
Back from Dallas, the Thunder players finally got a few days off.For a while, I was really tired.Almost from the start of the game against the Warriors, I took a day off.
They then headed to Orlando to play the last opponent of the month, the Magic.
The Magic this season is different from last season. The old Thunder player Ibaka left Toronto, which made them less the focus of attention.But this game was very exciting.
Throughout the game, Aaron Gordon of the Magic played quite well. He scored a large double-double with 40 points and 15 rebounds, which proved that the Magic made the right choice with him as the core.
但是他遇到了打红了眼的雷霆“三巨头”。威斯布鲁克27分11篮板13助攻，乔治26分5篮板5助攻，安洛36分3助攻3抢断。三个人合砍89分！要知道，雷霆总共才得到120分。基本上，能得的分，都让这哥儿仨得完了。
In the end, the Thunder and the Magic fought for 48 minutes and defeated each other 120:116.While achieving four consecutive victories, it also gave the opponent a ten-game losing streak.
At this point, the Thunder ended the entire November game.This month's Thunder is really strong.They have a record of 12 wins and 2 losses.Of course, the schedule is relatively easy, but I have still played against strong teams such as the Warriors, Spurs, and Pelicans.Although there were wins and losses in these few games, the Thunder still proved themselves.
