Chapter 649 The situation is anxious
An Luo reappeared in the second half of the second quarter.Paul George and Westbrook took turns leading the rotation to match the Warriors, and An Luo was able to rest for a while.Otherwise, he would have been on the field long ago.
Fans at Chesapeake Energy Arena saw Anlow and Paul George high-five from the sidelines and erupted into cheers.This cheer is not only a compliment to Paul George, but also an expectation for An Luo.
"Dude, I'll leave it to you!"
"no problem!"
……
As soon as he came up, An Luo got the chance to make a move.He has rested for about ten minutes, and this is the time when he is full of energy.An Luo's active running on the court made the Warriors' players miserable.Especially Thompson, he returned to the game 5 minutes earlier than Annuo, and now not only cannot rest, but also has to follow the opponent to run all over the field.There is no way, only he can keep up with An Luo's rhythm.If other people were to defend An Luo, the effect would be greatly reduced.
But now, Thompson's defensive effect is not very good.He was barely able to keep up with An Luo, and he was very passive.What's more, An Luo is not fighting alone.Other Thunder players will give him a lot of help.Like right now, Kanter takes a block on the right elbow near the baseline.Although he just blocked and then withdrew, which could not help An Luo completely get rid of Thompson's entanglement, it still greatly restricted the opponent's speed.An Luo seized the opportunity and made a charge and came outside the three-point line.Westbrook has quick eyes and hands, and immediately passed the ball.After receiving the ball, An Luo threw the ball without any hesitation.
Such movements are too familiar to An Luo!Every night, the mission Donovan gave him never changed.An Luo also understands very well that he is responsible for scoring.So his first reaction after receiving a pass from his teammates was to throw the ball.Of course, he will examine Duodu, and it is very dangerous to make random moves.
"Shh..."
The basketball is hollow into the net!An Luo contributed points as soon as he came up.The fans at Chesapeake Energy Stadium did not hold back their applause. They applauded and shouted "Ann" at the same time, and the atmosphere was very warm.An Luo himself was also very excited. He stretched out his hands, made a three-point gesture, and then waved vigorously towards the audience.
However, An Luo can score, but it cannot change the Thunder's defense.To be precise, he can't change the Thunder's overall defensive situation.
Looking back, Durant held the ball outside the three-point line and singled out Patterson.The defense on the front line every day, especially the defense at the third position, is basically all on Paul George alone.Other people can't contribute much power.Although Patterson's performance on the offensive end is always intermittent, he can barely provide some help on the defensive end.However, Durant is an existence that even Paul George cannot limit, let alone Patterson.
Durant faces the basket, his left foot does not move, and his right leg suddenly steps forward to the right.However, his right foot just touched the floor and did not step out.Durant wanted to use this trick to get past Patterson, but perhaps Patterson found the way because he used this trick too much, and it didn't work.However, Durant did not give up this attack.He turned around directly, leaning against Patterson with the left half of his body, and headed towards the basket with all his strength against the opponent.Patterson didn't go head-to-head. He tried to remove the stool, but it didn't have the desired effect.Durant has been prepared for a long time and has been holding back his strength.After Patterson withdrew a bit, he felt a huge force coming from Durant's body.He gritted his teeth and inhaled, stabilized his lower plate, and pushed up.The bodies of the two collided instantly, and then quickly separated.Durant took a step forward, then turned and jumped, leaning back and shooting.Patterson rushed over, jumped high, and stretched out his hand to block the opponent.It's a pity that he slapped Durant on the arm. Not only did he not prevent the opponent from shooting, but he also paid for a foul for nothing, making him play two plus one!
Watching the basketball he threw plunge into the net bag, Durant clenched his right hand and swung vigorously in the air.And, he shook his head at Patterson.Although there is no trash talk, the meaning is self-evident.
Durant's actions aroused the dissatisfaction of all the Thunder fans present.Many people stood up and yelled at Durant, and the boos in the arena were earth-shattering.But Durant doesn't care about these things.He has experienced too much in the past two years, and he is already used to it.Standing on the free throw line, with a shake of his shoulders, Durant made the ball steadily.
Throughout the second quarter, the Thunder were trying to find a way to take the lead.Whether it is Westbrook or Paul George, or An Luo, who only played in the second half, they have all made their due contributions on the offensive end.But every time they saw hope, the Warriors were able to respond.Especially Durant, he alone took on more than half of the Warriors' offense, making one key shot after another amid boos at the Chesapeake Energy Arena.Help the Warriors maintain a balance with the Thunder all the time.
Just after Durant scored two plus one, An Luo launched another attack.He still used the cover of his teammates to get rid of Thompson's entanglement, and then caught the ball outside the three-point line.The slightly different thing about this ball is that the person passing him is no longer Westbrook, but Kanter.Prior to this, after covering Westbrook, Kanter did not go to the basket, and pulled to the top of the arc to support.Westbrook rushed to the basket, fell into the encirclement of Green and Rooney, and could only pass the ball to Kanter.The latter received the ball at the top of the arc and assisted An Luo to hit a three-pointer.
Before the Thunder could breathe a sigh of relief, the Warriors evened the score again.Although it was not Durant who stood up as a roadblock this time, Durant made a great contribution to the success of this offense.He continued to single Patterson, pushing all the way to the basket.Kanter couldn't stand it anymore, and went directly to double-team.Durant took advantage of the opportunity to throw the ball to the basket, and Rooney flew into the sky, pressing the ball into the basket with both hands.
The two sides fought back and forth like this until the last moment of this section.Westbrook's emergency stop jump shot after the breakthrough gave the Warriors a chance to take the lead.At this time, the two sides tied at 58.But in the last offense, Thompson missed the ball under An Luo's interference and missed this opportunity.Ever since, the two sides could only end the first half with a tie.
