Chapter 369 Unstoppable
It was a tough game, but fortunately we won.Although the win is not very good, everyone is still happy.
Donovan has always been dignified.As the head coach, he doesn't think he won this game.The old guy let go of all the players he could play, probably because he didn't want those players to work too hard.Let them rest well, so that Leonard can come back in the next game, and they can secure a big victory.
But under such circumstances, Donovan's team only won by 3 points.I sent 2 all-stars and 2 quasi-all-stars, and only won a broken team by 3 points.It seems that his is more like the side that lost the game.
I have to say that Donovan is indeed qualified to win the best head coach.He never ignores the construction of the team's offensive and defensive system because of the strength of the lineup.He said he was finding the problem, whether the game was won or lost.
As he thought, the Thunder still have problems.
Paul George's performance fluctuated too much.Although he can still average at least 25 points per game, but in the Thunder's previous 3 or so games, he has scored less than double digits in 8 games, including [-] points in this game.
In this regard, Donovan commented on Paul George in this way when facing reporters.
"As you can see, Paul had difficulty shooting. But he gave the team a good start, and our offense didn't stagnate. We did a good job in many aspects of the game tonight, and our players were very good. Trying to move the ball on offense. Whether it's Paul, Russell or Ann, they are all helping the team in the best way in the game. We all know that it is really difficult for them not to be alone. But they did it !"
After the game, Paul George was not depressed because of his poor performance.Lying down, he has been joking and chatting with Westbrook and An Luo.In Thunder's locker room, his thick laughter kept coming.Faced with his 17-of-2 shooting data, he didn't evade the question, nor did he belittle himself.
"Billy set the right direction. We just need to play well. The shooting was not good tonight, but the good thing is, I can still provide energy for the game and move the ball well."
In addition, he did not forget to praise his teammates: "Russell made a lot of sacrifices, reduced the number of shots, and used his own ability to pass, defend, and rebound until we won the game."
Constantly find your own position in the various tactics formulated by the coach, make the offense more aggressive, and strengthen cooperation with teammates to win more victories for the team.That's what Donovan asked of Paul George.It's something he's been working hard on himself.After all, for this Thunder team, he spends the least amount of time together, and tacit understanding doesn't happen overnight.
And An Luo, one of the heroes of the game, also expressed his views on this.
"Now the team is still running in, and there will be a process. What is gratifying is that we are always winning. Although many times, the process is relatively difficult." Facing reporters, An Luo said this: "Everyone is working hard, trying to be the best. The team is still trying different changes, and we look forward to finding the best way to play in the fastest time."
As the boss of the team, Westbrook has grown a lot in these two seasons.His personal ability is still strong, but he plays more rationally, which is more conducive to victory.When facing the sharp questions of the fans, he behaved very general.
"I'm not doing anything different than I've been doing every season before. Running the offense is something I love and have been doing. You all know I'm supposed to be doing that."
"In the game, whatever Billy needs me to do, I'm going to do it. I don't need to score 20 or 30 points every game, my teammates can score more easily. The past 6 games, we have Winning. People are moving the ball around and the overall performance is much better than before. Winning is more important than anything else."
After six consecutive victories, the chariot of the Thunder did not stop.
In the next eleven games, the Thunder and the Jazz met three times and won all three games.It's a pity that they lost two games in the middle, which stopped their winning streak at nine games.
The first loss in December was to the Charlotte Hornets.
This is a surprising game.Prior to this, the Hornets had a three-game losing streak, while the Thunder had a nine-game winning streak.
There is a saying that the underdog will win, and the Hornets have bottomed out.They played a 22:2 offensive climax in the third quarter, allowing the Thunder to score no goals in 4 minutes.The Hornets' substitute Graham became a surprise player, making 3 of 3 three-pointers.
What's interesting is that the Thunder, one of the teams that shot the most three-pointers this season, lost on three-pointers.The collective explosion of the Hornets' outside line made the Thunder experience the powerlessness that they often give to their opponents.
Then, they easily beat the Indiana Pacers.Oladipo's performance was not as eye-catching as in the first match, and Sabonis was also squeezed to the bench by Turner.
Immediately afterwards, they fought hard in three overtimes away, beating the 119ers 117:76.
What's even more uncomfortable is that the game against the 76ers was the first back-to-back game for the Thunder.
The generals of the Thunder who rushed to New York barely played a good quarter.From the beginning of the second quarter, the tired Thunder players were given a big climax by the Knicks.They scored only two goals in 5 minutes.In the second half, Donovan put Westbrook and Paul George on the bench out of caution. Even An Luo and Adams only played half a quarter.
In the end, the Thunder lost to the Knicks 96:111.
After experiencing the local conditions and customs of an international metropolis, Thunder did not affect his performance.After they left New York, within four days, they easily defeated the Utah Jazz twice, winning the opponent by 41 points in two games!
It was not only the Jazz who fell at their feet, but also the Nuggets and Eagles.But these two teams are more depressed.The way they lose is pretty much the same.The former was just killed by An Luo with a two-pointer, and within two days, the latter was killed by a three-pointer by Westbrook.Seeing the victory in hand, he spread his wings and flew.There is nothing better than this.
After defeating the Eagles, the Thunder's record became 28 wins and 4 losses.Continue to secure his No. 3 throne in the Western Conference, and lead the Rockets behind him by [-] wins.All of a sudden, many people started to tout it.The unstoppable Thunder seems to be about to break the record set by the Warriors.
