Chapter 624
At the end of halftime, the score of the game became 58:56.The visiting team is at the front and the home team is at the back.
It is hard to imagine that the Thunder will be behind in the first half.Of course, the Clippers were able to take the lead because of some luck.In the last attack of the second quarter, the Thunder had already defended very well.But I couldn't stand Shamet's fairy ball at the last moment!
With 5 seconds left in the second quarter, Beverley passed the ball to Shamet outside the three-point line on the right.Shamet, who found an opportunity through the cover of his teammates, did not throw the ball immediately.Because at this time, Grant had switched defenses and went out.With his close defense, Shamet has almost no chance to shoot.But in the end, the latter jumped up sideways and completed the attack.
Shamet's goal was completely fooled!Throw the ball out with your own feeling.But the ball went in!That's a good shot.
It has to be said that this is not a small blow to the momentum of the home team.Desperately defending, and finally let others score!And still score that way.However, for the Thunder, these are minor problems.What kind of storms and waves have never been seen by a team that has won a championship!
The thing to be solved now is how to limit Lu Wei's offense.And, how to break free from the opponent's crazy defense and play your own game.
The players didn't feel any sense of loss and decadence.Although everyone did not cheer, the atmosphere in the locker room was still very active and harmonious.Those who don't know will definitely think that Thunder is the one leading.
The only one who may be a little depressed is Paul George!Being entangled by Beverly for two quarters and unable to use all his kung fu is really uncomfortable.It stands to reason that Beverly's figure can't prevent Paul George no matter what!But the countless small moves, the non-stop trash talking, and the bloodthirsty state made Paul George very upset.status is greatly affected.
"Dude, you don't even bother with him..."
"You have to play according to your own ideas..."
I don't know if everyone's enlightenment has any effect, but it seems that Paul George's emotions are under control.
"Guys, we can't continue to be influenced by their emotions. Whether it's offense or defense, we need to play our own game. Otherwise, this series will make us very uncomfortable!"
"Listen, we had a lot of problems...but that didn't stop us from winning. Then we..."
During the halftime break, Donovan quickly explained to the players the team's problems in the first half and the tactics of the second half.Especially the questions, he spoke very carefully.Donovan believes these players can handle most of the problems.As long as they understand what they should do.
"Their defense is very strong, and the fighting spirit and explosive energy displayed in the defense are amazing. Patrick is a leader-level player. He uses his actions to bring the entire team to another level. Louis is A superstar! On the court, he can do anything."
When the second half was about to start, Donovan accepted an interview with reporters on the scene.When the opponent asked him about his performance against the players of both sides, he praised the Clippers players.As for his players, he is not very satisfied.
"We didn't perform well enough. We didn't adjust to the best state defensively and offensively. So for a long time, the rhythm of the game was under the control of the opponent. We could have done better! But the fact Yes, we are behind now."
Of course, Donovan has always been a confident man.As soon as he changed his voice, he showed his sharpness.
"But this is the game! Anything is possible. I believe my players can adjust and win this game. We will never slow down our pace towards the championship. No one can stop us."
The second half of the game began, and the two sides changed sides to fight again.
As soon as the Thunder came up, they started their own good offensive tactics.Non-stop running, constant cover, let the Clippers' defensive formation change with their own rhythm.In the end, An Luo and Paul George can get shots from mid-to-long distance positions, and Westbrook and Grant can also seize the opportunity to make an air cut to the basket for a layup.Adams's shots are a bit worse. He often appears from the free throw line to the top three-point line to provide other players with pick-and-roll and support.
Such an offense freed Paul George.After getting rid of Beverly's stalking, he finally relaxed a little.
Following Paul George's voice, An Luo was also freed.When the Big Three were on the court at the same time in the first quarter, An Luo's efficiency was not high.With one less scoring point on the court for the Thunder, he tends to face more defensive forces.Especially outside the three-point line, the opponent always blocked his shooting space in the first place.Under such circumstances, An Luo was often forced to hold the ball and play inside.
As soon as he came up, An Luo got a chance in the left corner.Gallinari, who had switched defenses, was blocked by Grant, and An Luo became vacant.Westbrook kept his eyes on the entire court and passed the ball in the first place.After receiving the ball, it was natural to make another three-point shot, and it was a hollow hit.With such an open shot, An Luo's shooting rate is frighteningly high.
After An Luo succeeded, Paul George also fired from beyond the three-point line.He took a step back against Zubac, almost hitting "three plus one".But after the free throw was missed, the basketball that hit the front of the basket bounced far away, and it just fell into the hands of Westbrook who rushed in.The latter threw the ball directly beyond the three-point line without hesitation.After An Luo received the ball, he slammed the ground and made another three-pointer.
At that moment, the entire Chesapeake Energy Arena boiled with a bang!This kind of "three plus three" is really invigorating!And under the joint attack of An Luo and Paul George, the Thunder immediately overtook the score and pulled away.
The so-called "three-pointers are like rain", but Thunderclap's rain just started, and was cut off by the opponent.After An Luo made the ball, Rivers immediately called a timeout.This time it was Zubac who was reprimanded by him.There is nothing wrong with his switching defenses, but his foul problem is big!Either don't foul, or don't let the opponent score after fouling.Like this, sending out 6 points in a wave is simply sending the victory of the game to the opponent.Moreover, the failure to grab the rebound was also counted on Zubac's head.Who told him to be the only big man on the court for the Clippers!
