Chapter 412 When Curry Met An Luo
After the first half, the Thunder trailed the Warriors by 62 points 65:3.
Basically, the players on both sides have played to their due level, and each has done what it should do.Westbrook didn't take the initiative to score in the first half, and his touch was not very good.Two quarters played for 15 minutes.Westbrook took a total of 6 shots and only hit 2 goals and 6 goals. In addition to the first two free throws, he scored 8 points.But he has scored 7 assists and [-] rebounds.Not surprisingly, tonight is another triple-double night.
Both An Luo and Paul George have made their due contributions.One with 17 points and one with 16 points, and made great contributions on the defensive end.Especially Thompson, under the joint suppression of Angelo Robertson, he only scored 7 points in the first half.Curry and Durant are the Warriors' best players.Curry scored 22 points, Durant also scored 21 points.These two basically rounded up two-thirds of the Warriors' scoring.
Although the other players are average in terms of statistics, their role on the court cannot be concealed.For example, Green and Robertson, these two guys didn't score much because they always focused on defense.
In the second half, Donovan continued his style of play in the second half of the second quarter.He put the team's offense on An Luo and Paul George.Others save energy and concentrate on the defensive end.Especially the brothers Curry and Durant have become the top priority of the Thunder's defensive end.Donovan still adopts the Thunder's most familiar unlimited defense tactic. Among the five players on the field, except for Adams, who is a bit slow and unable to keep up with the Warriors' outside players, the other four can switch and make up defenses in time.
Facing the Warriors, this is the most suitable way for the Thunder.
During the intermission, Cole accepted an interview with reporters on the scene.Facing the camera, he has always maintained this humble attitude.
"There are no weak teams in the NBA, let alone a team that also has three All-Stars. Moreover, their record is the first in the league. There is no doubt that the Thunder is strong. They defeated us in the first two games. However, Tonight was different. Our players played at their normal level. You know, as long as they play normally, we can win all teams."
Between the tone, very confident.
Of course Cole has the confidence.After all, when Durant did not join the Warriors, they won the championship, broke the record held by the Bulls, and achieved the record of 73 wins in the regular season.After Durant joined, although the Warriors did not go further in the regular season, they played more easily in the playoffs and finals.
But after hearing this in the ears of Donovan and the Thunder players, it changed a bit.Therefore, in the third quarter, the Thunder played the toughest defense and the most resolute offense.
An Luo was the first to stand up.He caught a pass from Westbrook as soon as he crossed the halfway line.Generally speaking, An Luo passes such a pass, and then looks for opportunities to shoot by himself.But this time he didn't do that.He took the ball directly to the three-point line.Thompson still defends well. He has been sticking to An Luo. Just like Westbrook put Curry, he also put An Luo in. He would rather An Luo rush over than let An Luo shoot a three-pointer.
But An Luo didn't give up.He beckoned, then ran towards the top of the arc with the ball in his left hand.Adams, who was originally standing on the free throw line, understood, pulled it out directly, and made a pick-and-roll for An Luo.With just one block, An Luo was half a body ahead of Thompson.Not much, but enough.He pulls up at the top of the key and throws the ball quickly.
Thompson, who jumped up from behind, collided with An Luo in the air.But the referee didn't blow his whistle.In this regard, An Luo could only shrug helplessly.He has never been willing to argue with the referee.So he has not had a technical foul so far.
"Shh!"
An Luo was relieved when the ball scored.Although he was not able to win a free throw, but he was able to make a shot when his body was unbalanced, which is already very good.
But An Luo doesn't care, it doesn't mean that other people don't care.The stadium is like a battlefield, and every point may determine the outcome of the game.And if you keep silent during this kind of controversial penalty, it will make those referees do whatever they want.So Donovan protested to the referee immediately!
However, for this ball, it is useless!
Curry received the ball from Green and quickly advanced to the frontcourt.He almost completely copied An Luo's previous goal, also throwing away Westbrook under the cover of his teammates.Then he made a decisive shot and scored a three-pointer.
"Hey! After An Luo made a three-pointer, Curry immediately returned one. This game became better. The two most powerful three-point shooters in the league, in the third quarter of the game, Finally hit a three-pointer!"
At this time, An Luo himself also had an urge to compete with the other party.He dealt with Curry before he entered the NBA.At that time An Luo was just a nobody, but Curry was still very friendly.Gave him some very pertinent suggestions, which played a big role in An Luo's game at UCLA.
It's a great thing to beat a player you once saw as a goal.
An Luo continued to ask Westbrook for the ball.He's still right at the top of the key, but this time he doesn't call a screen.Facing Thompson, An Luo moved back a little, then quickly took a step to the right.Thompson followed An Luo's footsteps and moved a bit.No matter what level of defense, facing such a situation will have the same reaction.An Luo seized the opportunity, kicked back with his right leg, and took a step back with his left leg.After distanced himself from Thompson, he shot.
"Shh!"
The sound of hollowing into the net made An Luo very comfortable.In the process of retreating, he unconsciously shook his shoulders, just like what Curry did just now.
With a shake, Curry laughed.But elementary school students are not easy to mess with.He directly shot the ball nearly two meters away from the three-point line.And it's still in!After the goal was scored, he ran up to An Luo and shook his shoulders.
Now it's really on!
It was only at this time that people discovered that it was so exciting for two evenly matched three-point shooters to score points.Although it is not as explosive as a dunk, the visual experience brought by each precise three-pointer is equally exciting.
