Chapter 680
With 3 minutes left in the game, the score was fixed at 101:90.The point difference behind the Thunder has broken through double digits, and it continues to climb.
At this time, Donovan called a timeout for the second time.His team is in a very dangerous situation right now.In the past 2 minutes, not only did they fail to restrain Leonard's offense, they even failed to score a point.The momentum of the team is constantly declining, and the players don't seem to have much fighting spirit.
"Guys, losing at home is a really bad thing. There are nearly 2 fans in this arena, and they're chanting OKC, and they haven't stopped. If we lose this game The game, they will not be disappointed with us, but it must have been a very bad night...”
"Now, someone must stand up and break the scoring shortage. We have returned without success in five rounds..."
"Russell, you need to reduce your jump shots and hit the basket more. Go to the basket to create damage, so that you can get more opportunities to stand on the free throw line..."
"Ann, we need more scoring from beyond the three-point line. Just staying threatening is not enough to win the game, you should give us more help..."
"Paul..."
"Jeremy..."
"Steven..."
Donovan quickly reminded everyone on the stage of what needs to be paid attention to.He is really in a hurry.The current situation is indeed very unfavorable to the Thunder, and they are very likely to lose this game.Donovan's arrangement is quite aggressive. This is not the time to be cautious, and you can only have a chance if you fight hard.
After returning from the timeout, the Thunder started another attack of their own.
"OKC~"
"OKC~"
"OKC~"
……
The Chesapeake Energy Arena is still buzzing.This is the advantage of the home court. Those diehard fans will always support their team and players, no matter the advantage or disadvantage on the field.Especially the Thunder, as the only four major league team in Oklahoma, not only carries the expectations and concerns of all basketball lovers, but also the glory of the entire city.
An Luo stood outside the three-point line, a feeling of "a strong man going out" came to his heart.He experienced this feeling when he was in Ninth Middle School, when he was in UCLA, and when he represented the national team in the Asian Cup.
"You must win!"
After silently underestimating something in his heart, An Luo started to run.From the left three-point line around the three-point line to the right, all the way around the bottom corner, and then slipped the bottom line to the basket, using the crowded space to get rid of Danny Green who was close behind him, and quickly pulled to arc top.At the same time, Westbrook was heading towards the penalty area against Lowry. Paul George used Grant's cover to ask Leonard from the right, and got an open opportunity in the bottom corner on the right.
Westbrook passed the ball to Paul George, but the latter didn't take a shot after receiving the ball.Although Leonard was hindered by Grant, he posted it as quickly as possible.But this attack was not interrupted. Paul George raised his hand and feinted a shot, and then passed the ball to An Luo who had just rushed from the basket to the top of the arc.The latter caught the ball and turned around, raised his hand to shoot, and moved so fast that even Siakam, who defended from the free throw line, could not interfere with him.
After the ball was shot, An Luo felt stable.The rhythm of the shot is so comfortable!For a pitcher, the rhythm of the shot is the most important.
"Shh..."
The ball went in!Donovan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking back, Gasol Jr. made an off-ball screen for Leonard at the top of the arc and then pulled to the three-point line.Leonard, who received a pass from Lowry, did not find a shot at the basket.Paul George and Adams put too much pressure on him!But at this time, Leonard saw Gasol Jr. who was defended from the air outside the arc top three-point line.Without hesitation, he directly distributed the ball.The latter was already ready, and after receiving the ball, he threw the ball towards Grant who was flying over.
In fact, Gasol's chances are not particularly good.But it was too late to think about too many things, the offensive clock was running out, and the Thunder's defense was aggressive.
"boom……"
The basketball shot was a little shorter and hit the front of the basket, and the rebound was firmly held by Adams.He stabilized, and after avoiding Siakam's snatch, he handed the ball to Westbrook.Because of this delay, the Thunder lost the opportunity to counter the fast break.Westbrook can only slowly bring the ball beyond the three-point line, waiting for an opportunity to attack.
This time, An Luo took the initiative to step forward to cover for Westbrook.When the latter passed behind him, An Luo immediately followed Westbrook to the basket.But he just made a feint, and after running two steps in, he made an emergency stop and turned back and ran out of the three-point line.At this time, Westbrook threw the ball over his head into An Luo's hands as if he had eyes in the back of his head.
The ensuing scene is very familiar to Thunder fans.An Luo didn't make any adjustments, just pulled up and threw the ball into the basket.
101:96, the Thunder used two rounds to chase the score to only 5 points.
Nurse stood up to call a timeout, but he gave up.Lowry has already crossed the center line with the ball. It seems that he wants to play a time lag, and take advantage of the Thunder's unsteady foothold to grab a ball and stabilize the situation.
The whole process went very smoothly, Lowry rushed past Westbrook and Grant, and the basket was empty.But just as he was laying up, a figure descended from the sky and patted the basketball in his hand onto the backboard.It turned out that after Paul George saw Lowry rushing up, he decisively gave up Leonard and went straight to the basket.This is a very risky defensive choice, as long as Lowry passes the ball to Leonard, it is likely to be a perfect assist.Instead of passing the ball, though, he decided to be the hero himself.Unfortunately, Paul George made his dream come to naught.
The rebound was grabbed by Westbrook, and he threw it directly to An Luo, who had just passed the center line.The latter immediately turned his horse's head and strode towards the other side of the field.An Luo, who was close to the three-point line, raised his hand and made a fake move to shake Gasol, who was close to him, and then pulled up and threw the ball.
"Shh..."
Seeing the basketball hit, An Luo punched the audience a few times.It's such a great feeling!The fans followed his actions and erupted in huge cheers. The originally quiet atmosphere of the Chesapeake Energy Arena suddenly heated up.
