Chapter 630 The Injured People Are Always the Same
Facing double-teams, Paul George did not panic.In his career, he has not "enjoyed" such treatment.Without a dribble, Paul George holds the ball sideways to prevent the opponent from touching the basketball.Then the left foot did not move, the right foot kept lighting on the floor, and the body also shook.Eyes have been observing the positions of other Thunder players on the field.
Westbrook was the first to emerge from the crowd.When Lu Wei double-teamed Paul George in the past, he was equivalent to being emptied!For Westbrook, it has always been to throw shots to prevent breakthroughs.Such a defense looks risky, but it is quite reasonable for Westbrook.Although his [-]-pointers are sometimes scary, most of them are not.As the saying goes, the lesser of two evils, Westbrook takes more shots from beyond the three-point line, and An Luo and Paul George have fewer shots.
Sure enough, when Westbrook held the ball, the Clippers' defense changed instantly.Zubac and Gallinari quickly shrunk in, occupying a lot of space inside.Lu Wei was near the three-point line, keeping a distance of one meter from Westbrook.
Westbrook tried it, but in the end he didn't choose to shoot a three-pointer.After continuously dribbling the ball under the crotch, he suddenly accelerated and broke into the inside line from the right.Lu Wei chased after a while, but did not continue to follow.There are Zubac and Gallinari under the basket, enough to pose a threat to Westbrook.
After Westbrook rushed in, the space under the basket suddenly became crowded.However, this did not bother him.Between tossing and moving, Westbrook cleverly passed the ball through the cracks.
In the last offense, Westbrook passed the ball to Paul George, and this time it passed to An Luo.The latter began to run on the outside after Westbrook broke in.Finally, an opportunity was found under the cover of Paul George.
After receiving the ball, An Luo didn't care about the attack time.Pulled up directly and threw the ball.
"boom!"
The ball still didn't go in!
Zubac stood under the basket, leaped high, and grabbed the rebound.Donovan was very dissatisfied with this shot.He emphasized offensive success rate and rebounding during the timeout, but now it seems that the Clippers are doing better than them.
God seems to want to help the Clippers.At the last minute, both Paul George and An Luo had the chance to end the game early, but neither succeeded.Otherwise, they have no hope at all.
Now there are 9 seconds left in the game, and the Clippers have the opportunity to take the score away directly.
The only thing that makes the Thunder feel better is that the Clippers have no timeout!All offense and defense can only be seen on the players on the field.The two head coaches can only be anxious on the sidelines now.
"Retreat, retreat, fast, fast, fast!"
"Hold the ball well, don't mess it up!"
……
At the same time, the neat slogan came to mind in the arena: "Defense!! Defense!!!"
Many fans stood up, and they gave their players the greatest encouragement.Now is the time to test the Thunder's defense!
After Zubac controlled the rebound, he passed the ball directly to Lu Wei.The latter quickly advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.An Luo didn't stick to Lu Wei directly at the three-point line. He thought it was impossible for the opponent to take the three-pointer as the first choice.Of course, in the previous timeout, Donovan also judged this way.
Sure enough, Lu Wei was going to play inside.It seems that his breakthrough ability is Rivers' last hope.
An Luo is always stuck on Lu Wei's route close to the basket.He was very focused, leaning over, staring at each other.Stepping on very fast small steps.
Lu Wei didn't get a chance to make a shot in the end.An Luo put a lot of pressure on him, so he didn't dare to take risks.Eventually, he threw the ball.Gallinari got a pretty good position beyond the left three-point line.After catching the ball, he didn't hesitate and shot immediately.After all, there is not much time!In fact, Gallinari's shot position this time is not particularly good.He almost threw the ball over Grant's block.But when the game hits the most critical time, being able to throw the ball is not easy in itself.
After the basketball flies past the highest point, the time is reset.
All eyes were on the spinning orange ball.To advance or not to advance, there is a team that will lose with regret.
"boom!"
There was a sound of iron strike, and there was a burst of cheers like mountains and seas in the Chesapeake Energy Arena.God favored Thunder at the last moment.But this time, all the efforts of the Clippers all night were dispelled.
2:0, the Thunder has made great strides towards its defending road.But for the Clippers, the situation is not so optimistic.No one, though, felt like they weren't performing well enough.With a lineup like theirs, it's not easy to get to this point.What's more, in the two games, the Clippers played very fiercely against the Thunder, and there was no one-sided situation.
Of course, taking the lead in the first round of the playoffs did not make the Thunder feel so excited.After all, for a defending champion team that ranks first in the regular season, it would be surprising if there were twists and turns.
Except for the victory of the Thunder, the strong teams that lost on the first day of the playoffs all found their way back in the second game.After all, a strong team is still a strong team. If it is true that the opponent has always been defeated by the weak, it can only be said to be a pseudo-strong team.
If you want to say that the team that everyone is most concerned about this season, the Thunder is one, and the Warriors are no less.However, compared with the Thunder's near miss, the Warriors' life is not easy.In the first game of the playoffs, they suffered a huge blow.
Facing the Spurs, the Warriors who attacked with the whole army fought the opponent until the last moment, and at the last minute, White made a three-pointer to kill him.Became yet another Finals-level team that lost home-court advantage.
Of course their failure was accidental.In normal games, the Warriors have always maintained oppression.But when Cousins was injured, everything changed.
Cousins was injured in the second half of the third quarter.In the first playoff game of his career, he played very aggressively.At that time, he intercepted the Spurs pass near the halfway line and fell to the ground in the process of chasing the ball.Then he limped back to the locker room.Since then, he has never played again.
Judging from the information revealed by the media after the game, Cousins is basically unable to return to the playoffs this season.For Cousins, this is really a bit cruel!You know, this is the first playoff game of his career.For any player, injuries are painful.What's more, this is not the first time Cousins has been injured!He just recovered not so long ago.
