Chapter 685 Killing Intent Has Been Determined
The finals were scored 1:1. Although it is not a surprise, it is also surprising.The state of the Raptors in the first game is really bad!They didn't play the kind of expectations that people had for them before the finals.Of course, there are still many people who are optimistic about them.As the champion of the Eastern Conference, it will definitely not be too bad.Last year was the easiest year for the West to beat the East in the past ten years, but James' Cavaliers still performed very well.There is no doubt that this year's Raptors must be stronger.
Judging from the big score, the two sides are even.But judging from the arrangement of the entire series, after the first two contests, the defending champion was at a disadvantage.The Thunder have lost their home-court advantage with a maximum of five games remaining, three of which are in Toronto.In this league's top-level matchup, any small advantage can have a huge impact on the game.
The Thunder team arrived in Toronto after a day of rest in Oklahoma.They will stay in this foreign city for at least 5 days.Although it is not the first time to play an away game in this city, Donovan deliberately moved this trip to Toronto one day earlier in order to minimize the discomfort of the players in the away game.
Compared with the increasingly hot weather in Oklahoma, the temperature in Toronto is much cooler.But such a temperature didn't make An Luo feel very comfortable, he even felt a little cold.An Luo didn't know whether Westbrook was cold or not. Anyway, he walked into the arena wearing a thick baseball uniform.It's better during the day, but at night it feels like it's winter again.However, as soon as he arrived on the court, An Luo felt his body was filled with heat, as if a fire was burning.
Nas said in the last press conference that the next game may be more difficult, and it turns out that his prediction is very accurate.After the game returned to the Airline Center Stadium, the advantages occupied by the Raptors at home did not translate into a score lead.They have always wanted to play a relatively strong performance on both ends of the offense and defense, but the effect has not been ideal.On the contrary, the Thunder in the away game performed even better.
The Thunder played their strongest game on the offensive end since the start of the Finals.And An Luo, who was blocked by Leonard at the end of the last game, became the sharpest arrow on the Thunder's offensive end.
At the beginning of the game, the starting lineups of both sides were the same as the previous two games.The Thunder's Big Three plus Adams and Grant, the Raptors are Lowry's partner Danny Green's backcourt with Leonard, Siakam and Gasol Jr.
Adams passed the ball over Gasol Jr.'s head to Westbrook, who caught the ball forward, then jumped up and threw the ball to An Luo, who had rushed to the bottom corner.Originally, An Luo's position was closer to his own basket, and Adams' advantage in jumping the ball allowed him to seize the opportunity and get a rare open space when Danny Green hadn't posted the defense. Three point chance.
After receiving the ball, there is no need to make other adjustments, An Luo is already ready.He exerted force with his feet, and his whole body was like a rocket that was shot out, soaring into the air.Although Danny Green was a bit slow, he still stretched out his hand and tried his best to interfere with An Luo's shooting.He really tried his best, but it still didn't work.The basketball arced high and fell straight into the hoop.
3:0
The ball went in!An Luo shook his fist vigorously, and then gave Westbrook a hard five on the center line.It stands to reason that he shouldn't be so excited.After all, he has made countless shots like this!For him, making open three-pointers in the game is as common as eating and sleeping, and it is also something he should do.Everything is a problem left over from the previous game.At the moment when the basketball went into the basket, An Luo's eyes did not fall on Danny Green. He stared at Leonard and took the lead in launching the challenge.
An Luo felt that he was still very narrow-minded sometimes, and he was worried about the block a few days ago.Since you lost a game because of your own three-pointer, you have to win a game with a three-pointer.
Looking back, Siakam of the Raptors received a pass from Lowry at the right elbow, singled Grant with a back, and missed a jumper.Westbrook pocketed the rebound off an Adams screen and immediately launched a counterattack.
Westbrook rushed out of the crowd with a few changes of direction, and then rushed to his own basket at a very fast speed.At this time, Paul George and An Luo also rushed up after him.The three people lined up in a zigzag pattern, with Westbrook in the middle taking the lead, who is the arrow of this offensive formation.The Raptors are not slow to retreat.Leonard naturally followed Paul George. In the past few games, his defense against the latter has always been very good.Lowry, who was supposed to be staring at Westbrook, didn't follow up immediately, but Danny Green, who was on the outside, made up for it.And An Luo, who is the most threatening on the outside, was entangled by Siakam.
Danny Green's defense is in place. He always sticks to Westbrook's right side to prevent him from exerting his strength.This made Westbrook feel very uncomfortable. If he wanted to complete the offense, he had to switch to the left.Of course, this is not a big problem for him, but it is impossible for Danny Green not to understand his ability, and to go short on one side, there must be a backhand.So he didn't make a shot, and after turning around the basket, Westbrook passed the ball to An Luo.
In fact, An Luo's chances are not good.Siakam, who has an absolute advantage in height and wingspan, put a lot of pressure on him.An Luo ran to a place one meter away from the three-point line to receive the basketball.Siakam took a step forward. Because he was too far from the three-point line, he didn't dare to stick to the defense like before.An Luo bent over to dribble, and after four or five times, he suddenly started, ready to break through from Siakam's right side.Although An Luo did not have the explosive speed of Westbrook, he still learned some of the essence of Westbrook in the first step.Siakam hurriedly retreated. As a rookie in the same class, he knew how powerful An Luo was.But just after Siakam moved, An Luo suddenly braked suddenly, and then took a step back.
"Oops!"
Siakam knew he was overwhelmed, so he rushed forward.But An Luo's speed is too fast!After withdrawing, An Luo directly pulled up and threw the ball.The action is clean and neat, very decisive.It can be seen that An Luo is extremely confident in himself.
