With a 5-point difference, for the Clippers, it takes two rounds.Judging from the rest of the game, their pressure is not small.After all, now that the Thunder have the ball, they have to defend against the Thunder's two attacks to have any hope.And he has to score himself.
Donovan didn't call a timeout.He only has one chance to pause, and he has to save it for the most critical time.The current situation looks a little tense, but they are still in the lead after all, and they still have the initiative in the game.
Westbrook holds the ball, he quickly takes the ball beyond the three-point line, and then suppresses the speed.The Clippers players have already been ready to fight, and there is no chance for the Thunder to play a fast break.Westbrook made a gesture with his left hand, and Adams immediately moved to the top of the arc to respond.An Luo and Paul George also started running at the same time.Grant stood in the right elbow and screened for Paul George.All of a sudden, Lei Ting was like a machine, running at high speed.
The Clippers players followed suit.Beverly is still sticking to Paul George, Alexander is staring at An Luo, and Gallinari is following Adams. He still needs to be ready to switch defenses and double-team Paul George and An Luo at any time.When Harrell is on the court, their defenses always have a lot of problems.Therefore, only this small-scale area defense can be selected.
After Westbrook rushed to the basket, Harrell withdrew early.Meanwhile, Gallinari switched defenses.Instead of chasing Westbrook, he went straight to Grant.The rotation between each other is done very well.Westbrook couldn't make a layup.Of course, if you choose to play hard, Westbrook also has that strength.But he didn't do that, and a change of direction went around behind Harrell and threw the ball out.
An Luo made a pick-and-roll for Paul George on the left three-point line, and the latter took advantage of the situation to escape the defense and ran out of the open space.Westbrook passed the ball almost immediately.It can be seen that, as a top passer, how strong Westbrook's ability to read the game is.
After Paul George received the ball, he was about to shoot immediately.By this time, Beverly, who had already switched defenses in front of Adams, rushed to double-team Paul George with Alexander.At this time, the attack time is running out!Paul George could only bite the bullet and throw the ball.
"boom!"
Without incident, the basketball hit the edge of the rim.There was an instant burst of loud sighs in the arena.If this goal is scored, basically the game will be over.But Paul George failed to make the ball!
This gives the Clippers a chance.
Harrell grabbed the rebound over Adams and Grant!This rebound is crucial to the Clippers and is invaluable!
Rivers quickly called a timeout.Although the Thunder gave him a chance, it was only a possibility.And it was only the first step. They had to complete the next attack before they could make the final fight.
Donovan finally felt some tension.The moment he shot Paul George, he already felt that there was no second!The next defensive round is crucial.He doesn't want to let the opponent tie the score at his home court.
"Listen, guys. The upcoming game is quite serious for us. We must concentrate and stay focused. We must not leave any openings for them! At this time, no one wants to lose the game! Then Come down, we..."
The mood of the Thunder players was not greatly affected.In the attack just now, the Clippers' defense was indeed very strong, but for Westbrook, Paul George and An Luo, they didn't think the opponent could stop them from scoring!
Even An Luo felt that Donovan was a little too worried!Even if the Clippers succeed in this attack, they are only closing the score and have not yet tied.Then they still have plenty of time to play an offense.He is still able to defend the Clippers twice in a row.
"Di..."
The whistle sounded and the game continued.
Beverly ran directly to the backcourt to catch the ball, very steady.After Harrell sent the ball, he went directly to the position a little before the free throw line to support.An Luo followed Lu Wei closely. Although the basketball was not in Lu Wei's hands at the moment, he believed that the Clippers would still give the ball to this guy in the end.
Beverley didn't try to compete for time.There were nearly 43 seconds left in the game, enough time for another play after this one.He still used the cover to go inside and cooperate with Harrell's pick-and-roll, which is not just exclusive to Lu Wei.
Sure enough, Harrell blocked Westbrook and immediately ran to the penalty area.However, the Thunder did not switch defenses this time.Adams took advantage of the situation and leaned to the right, delaying Beverly's breakthrough.Then he got entangled with Harrell again.Westbrook sped around before Harrell slid down.His speed is extremely fast, and he reappeared in the most suitable defensive position almost instantly.
Unable to complete the layup, Beverley circled the hoop with the ball and passed it to Gallinari on the left beyond the three-point line.At this time, Gallinari had just thrown off Paul George under the cover of Lu Wei.And after he caught the ball, Harrell appeared at the top of the arc again.Gallinari took the ball and used Harrell's screen. After getting rid of An Luo who had switched, he jumped up next to Harrell and threw the ball. Very decisive!
"Shh..."
Hit the bullseye!
108:106
At this point, there are 28 seconds left in the game.
Donovan finally called a timeout.The trend of the game is going in a direction that is not good for the Thunder. He must tell his players what to do and how to do it at this time.He picked up his tactical board and quickly drew two tactics.Donovan repeatedly emphasized the importance of this offense.
In fact, An Luo and others knew it in their hearts.
After the game restarted, the Clippers made an almost crazy defense.Adams tosses the ball high and over Zubac's head to Westbrook.At the moment when the latter received the ball, Beverly suddenly rushed out.He is extremely fast!But Westbrook reacted quickly. Before Beverly, he slapped the ball to Paul George not far from him.Then, it slammed into Beverly.
At this time, the referee's whistle did not sound.But luckily it was Paul George who got the ball.But he has no chance to score!The moment he caught the ball, Beverly and Lu Wei double-teamed him directly.
