Chapter 640 Calling Back Again
All Thunder people are very helpless!
Their defense at critical moments is not bad.It can be said that the Thunder have done everything they can do.But no matter how good the defense is, it is impossible to limit all five players.It can only be said that luck is not good enough to be shot by a role player!
Of course, the performance of the Rockets is worthy of recognition.Their steals at the last minute and their double-teaming of An Luo were very decisive.Whether it is Gordon as a role player, or Harden and Paul as the main players, no one has lost the chain.Otherwise, even if the Thunder made a mistake and couldn't convert it into a score, it would be in vain.
When the referee of the game blew the whistle for the end of the game, the Rockets players all rushed into the arena.Gordon became the core of everyone's celebration. All the Rockets players, including Harden and Paul, surrounded Gordon, roaring and laughing together, and celebrated their belonging in the Chesapeake Energy Arena's earth-shattering boos. own victory.
There's nothing better than winning an away game in the playoffs!Although the process was thrilling, they were the winners tonight after all.However, such celebrations did not last long.As the protagonist tonight, Gordon accepted the reporter's interview on the sidelines.
When he was asked by a reporter why he suddenly appeared in Westbrook's passing lane, Gordon answered very modestly.
"It's a very risky choice! Under normal circumstances, no one would ask me to do that. But I believe that he will pass the ball to Ann. No one can do it better than him when shooting from outside the three-point line. Good. I believed in myself, so I went to that position." At this point, Gordon's face immediately showed a look of relief, and then he continued to sit and said, "Thank God! I didn't miss it. I made the tackle and helped win the game!"
"That feeling is really great! It's so cool to be able to score a key goal at a critical moment!"
……
On the other hand, the Thunder did not lose their momentum because they lost the game.On the contrary, they stimulated their aura to the peak.Everyone is brooding over the failure of this game.They never gave each other the upper hand on the night, only to allow each other to overtake in the corner at the last moment.What a pity!A victory that was bound to be won, just disappeared from the front of his eyes.And let others have the last laugh at their home court, that kind of feeling is really not very good.
It is conceivable how the Thunder will face the Rockets in the next second match.They took a deep breath, and they will definitely vent it.
"Our state was not particularly full throughout the game. But we have to say that our performance in the game was still remarkable. The players were very active, and most of the tactics arranged before the game were played out. Especially at the last moment of the game, we put tremendous pressure on the opponent on the defensive end. But basketball is not a one-person sport. On the court, any point may kill the game, as long as they have the space and opportunity for me to shoot. There is no doubt that the Rockets have mobilized every player on the court. Through uninterrupted pick-and-rolls and screens, they can create shots for every player on the court. And we are powerless about this.”
Donovan summed up the game after the game.He didn't blame his players.And their performance was highly rated.As the head star of the team, Westbrook was very firm and confident when facing reporters' questions.
"Losing the first game of the series made us feel quite frustrated. However, this is only one game in the whole series. The battle has already begun! Every night in the future, we will maintain Top game, give it your all and never let something like tonight happen again at Chesapeake Energy Arena."
An Luo's attitude was consistent with Westbrook: "This is a great game! There is no doubt that both sides played a wonderful performance. Of course, the final result is regrettable. I have to admit, They played better than us. Still, it doesn't decide anything for the whole series. In my opinion, this season, no one can beat us four times in a series!"
……
In the second game, the trend and result were the same as everyone thought.The suffocated Thunder launched the most powerful attack as soon as it came up.Under the leadership of Westbrook, An Luo and Paul George took turns attacking the Rockets' defense.Whether it is an inside breakthrough or an outside three-pointer, it has caused huge damage to the Rockets.
At the end of the first quarter, the Thunder's lead reached double digits.What's more, the number got bigger and bigger in subsequent games.
Harden's touch is actually okay.He made three three-pointers in the first quarter, and his shooting percentage was as high as [-]%!But the hero can't stand the crowd.In this game, Gordon will not have such a good opportunity to help Harden!Maybe it was because the previous scene was too aggressive, which made Donovan afraid of him.From Game [-] onwards, Donovan had Paul George defending him at the highest level.Chris Paul has the conditions to share Harden's pressure, but he seems to have lost his aim.He even missed two or three of his best fadeaways.
By the time of the third quarter, the Thunder's offense seemed to have been improved again.Especially An Luo, under Donovan's arrangement, he took almost all the team's outside offensive opportunities.Under this "semi-finished" unlimited firepower, An Luo scored 22 points in the third quarter!Directly led the Thunder generals to open the point difference to more than 30.
The huge point difference did not make D'Antoni give up the game.In the second half of the third quarter and throughout the fourth quarter, they were attacking like crazy.
However, Thunder was not careless.In the crucial last quarter of the game, Donovan has always been the main force.It was not until 3 minutes before the end of the game that the core players in the team were finally removed.At that time, although the point difference was narrowed by the opponent, it was too late.
In the end, the Thunder defeated the Houston Rockets 113:101 at home.They did what they said, and brought the big score back to the same starting line with the whole team almost going berserk.But unfortunately, they have lost their home court advantage.They have just two home games in their remaining five games.However, forging iron still needs to be hard.As long as they can display a strong fighting ability, it is not a big problem whether they are at home or not.
