The New Orleans arena was so quiet that even the sound of a basketball hitting the floor could be clearly heard.At this time, there are still 2 minutes before the end of the game.The Pelicans trailed the Thunder by 3 points.After nearly three games, it was the first time that the Pelicans played against the Thunder until the end of the game and it was still hard to tell the winner.The performance in the fourth quarter made all New Orleans fans very satisfied.
Therefore, the last 2 minutes are very critical!
Rondo was dribbling the ball one step beyond the three-point line. An Luo was now on the three-point line, bowing his waist and opening his hands, keeping his eyes on the opponent, guarding against his possible next move.
Rondo took a look, then handed the ball to Holiday, who tried a slam but couldn't shake off Paul George.Then pass the ball back to Rondo.After receiving the ball, Rondo reached out and gestured towards Davis.The latter understood, immediately brought it up, and made a cover for him.Rondo, who got rid of An Luo, rushed to the free throw line.This time An Luo and Adams did not switch defenses. An Luo squeezed past Davis and followed Rondo closely.
The ball was still in Davis' hands, but the tried-and-true trick finally failed.After Adams chased him out, the defense around the basket was indeed empty, but An Luo didn't give Rondo a chance to layup.And Davis no longer has the advantage of playing An Luo in a misplaced position.Although he used his personal ability to shake off Adams and find a chance to make a shot, after the ball was thrown, he failed to hit it.
The rebound was grabbed by Paul George, he dribbled it out with the ball himself, and then handed it to Westbrook.The latter rushed to the basket after receiving the ball, originally trying to catch the opponent's foothold and hit a two-pointer.But the Pelicans retreated very quickly.Davis was already at the basket, and Rondo followed.He could only turn around, take the ball out of the three-point line again, and reorganize the offense.
"control time!"
Donovan is now on the sidelines, yelling at Westbrook.It's great to be able to make quick breaks.But if you don't make it, then settle down and score the ball before the attack time runs out.Anyway, it's me who is leading now, and the Pelicans should be anxious.
Rondo knew Thunder's plan, but he didn't act rashly.Just in front of Westbrook, guarding against his sudden breakthrough.He understands that it is useless to be anxious now, if he accidentally fouls, it will not be worth the loss!
Time passed bit by bit, and the players on both sides became more and more nervous.This ball is very important!
With 8 seconds left, Westbrook moved!He rushed towards the front right, and his speed was not particularly fast!He still used the cover of his teammates to hit inside.But this time Adams didn't come out. After Paul George blocked Westbrook, he went down to the right corner.An Luo, who was originally in that position, slipped around Adams from the bottom line to the other side a step earlier.Westbrook went straight to the basket and rushed towards Davis.Davis is not afraid of Westbrook's breakthrough.In this game, he paid attention to his fouls and was not as passive as the previous game.He leaned out a little, holding his hands up, watching Westbrook's further movements.
Westbrook is also too steely!He was about to layup directly against Davis.But then immediately the ball tends to be thrown out.With Davis' physical condition, the defensive range is really too big!What's more, the two of them are now in a reasonable collision zone.Westbrook is strong enough, and he can also complete layups.But he didn't.At this time, An Luo had already made a big circle around the court and came to a 45-degree angle on the left.Although he hasn't completely gotten rid of the opponent's defense, the space in front of him is enough for An Luo!Both Westbrook and An Luo understand this.So Westbrook passed the ball to An Luo at the last minute, and the latter did not hesitate.After receiving the ball, he shot immediately.After all, the little attack time left is not enough for him to observe the positions of other teammates!
"Shu~"
The ball went in!Westbrook rushed to An Luo quickly.The two had a passionate collision in the midfield.At this critical moment, a three-pointer really reassured the Thunder.Not only players like Westbrook were very excited, but even Donovan was faintly relieved.
98:92, the Thunder extended the lead to 6 points!
The Pelicans called a timeout.At this time, we must emphasize the success rate of the attack!If we continue to play like this round, the game will be hopeless.
Back in the game, Davis returned to the basket, pressed Adams and scored a goal.Chased the score back a bit.But a two-pointer is just a drop in the bucket.But at this time, the Thunder gave the opponent a chance!
After Adams received the basketball from Westbrook, he missed a mid-range shot.After Davis got the rebound, the Pelicans had a chance to further recover the score.
It's a pity that the Thunder made up for their mistakes with their own defense.The Pelicans still focused on Davis, but Adams withstood this time.In fact, he is not afraid of head-to-head encounters. Once he keeps up with the rhythm of the opponent, Davis will not be so easy.
In the end, the basketball was passed back to Rondo.It was Gentry's opinion to give the ball to Rondo at the critical moment, and it was unanimously approved by the Pelicans.
Rondo didn't have much time to think about it.He beckoned directly, and then used Davis' pick-and-roll to rush in directly.He wants to come by himself!After all, the positions of the other Pelicans players on the field are not very good.But An Luo has been following the opponent closely.Although Rondo's emergency stop jump shot was very sudden, An Luo responded perfectly.He took off directly. Although he was half a beat slower than Rondo, his long arms still forced the opponent to adjust his most familiar shooting rhythm.
"boom!"
This is probably the last sound you want to hear in the New Orleans Arena!Simply heartbreaking.And the rebound was snatched by Westbrook, which broke their hearts even more!
Donovan didn't call a timeout.The rhythm on the court is very good, and he doesn't want to interrupt this rhythm.
Westbrook launched a fast break and gave the ball to An Luo while on the move.At this time, players on both sides were running desperately in the same direction, and the Pelicans hadn't built their own defense at all.An Luo seized this opportunity!After receiving the ball, he took two steps close to the three-point line, then pulled up and shot the ball.
All of a sudden, all eyes were on the orange ball flying to the basket.
"Shu~"
The moment the ball was scored, Gentry put his head in his hands, and he thought it was over!
