Chapter 700
The anxious situation continued until the last quarter.As far as An Luo himself has noticed, there have been at least 10 times when the two sides overtook the score.Whether it is the Thunder or the Raptors, they are really fighting every round.You have to fight when you defend, and you have to fight when you attack.
With 7 minutes left in the game, the score between the two sides was 93:95. As the home team, the Thunder temporarily led by a little bit.
An Luo stood on the sidelines and became active.He has rested for a long time, and the situation on the court is quite serious. Donovan is going to let An Luo play.It's time to launch the final attack.
In fact, even before this, the Thunder once fell behind.In the second half of the third quarter, Van Vleet once again became "Van Jordan", leading most of the Raptors' rotation lineup, and he just played a performance no worse than the main lineup.Not only took the lead with a wave of strong offenses, but also fought evenly when facing most of the rotation lineup led by Westbrook and An Luo.
In fact, An Luo was replaced by Donovan halfway through the third quarter.This can be regarded as a routine operation, let An Luo rest for half a quarter of the game, and focus on the fourth quarter to fight the opponent to the death.
It's a pity that Van Vleet's outbreak prevented him from resting.In the first half, Van Fleet did not perform well.Tried a few times from beyond the arc and only hit one.Breaking through has no effect, and the defensive end is even worse!But Nurse seems to have faith in VanVleet forever.Perhaps it was Van Fleet's performance in the Eastern Conference semifinals and Eastern Conference finals that moved him!However, after the finals, the "bonus" brought to him by the newborn son became less and less obvious.However, in this game, he was again affected by that mysterious force.
As soon as he came up, Van Fleet made a three-pointer.Under the cover of his teammates, he got rid of Ferguson, followed by the catch and shot, and he hit it.
Making a three-pointer is nothing special.After all, in the current game, three-pointers can be shot from the first position to the fifth position.As a guard who relies heavily on shots from outside the three-point line, VanVleet is even more unsurprising to make such a goal.But in the next minute, he made three more three-pointers in a row.Including a three-pointer at least two meters away from the three-point line!Van Vleet threw the ball almost as soon as it crossed the center line.In that case, many people would think that Van Vleet made a random shot.But in fact, he is very confident.Even An Luo was startled by the ball.I have to say that these three-point shooters in the NBA are getting farther and farther away!Curry, Harden, Lillard and others, including James, are all the same, shooting cold arrows two meters away from the three-point line from time to time, and even shooting near the center line.What's more frightening is that the hit rate is not bad.
An Luo feels that compared with those guys, the only difference in terms of three-pointers is that he almost never shoots ultra-long three-pointers.After all, after exceeding the range, the hit rate of the bracelet bonus will disappear.
With Van Vleet's four three-pointers, the Raptors immediately overtook the score.Donovan quickly called a timeout.He was really afraid that that guy would make a few more shots, and when the score fell too far, it would be really difficult to deal with.Of course, from an intellectual point of view, the problem is not that serious.In the game of basketball, there has always been a saying that "long shot must miss".Few people can maintain a shooting level of [-] shots in a game, let alone a three-pointer.But Donovan is more afraid that such a strong offense from the opponent will affect the morale of his players.
During the timeout, Donovan carefully told his players what to pay attention to during the game.Once again, it is clear what the players should do in defense and offense.
"Play our own rhythm and win the game in the way we are most familiar with."
After returning from the timeout, An Luo and Paul George reappeared.In addition, Westbrook and Grant were still on the court, and the Thunder almost kept a complete main lineup.
After coming up, An Luo responded with his own three-pointer.He received Westbrook's pass at the top of the arc, and then stepped forward to the right, followed by Danny Green and took a quick step back. After that, he suddenly took a big step back to the left, followed by a right foot. Next to the left foot, exert strength with both legs, straighten the whole body, and raise the hand to push the ball out.
"Shh!"
After the ball was scored, the Thunder generals returned to their defensive positions as quickly as possible.After Leonard rested, Siakam became the arrow figure of the Raptors in the tough battle.He received the ball at the top of the arc, stood still, raised his hand and swayed, then his shoulders dropped, and he squeezed Grant under his armpit.
Although Grant was overdone, Siakam's offense this time has just begun.Grant turned to keep up. He was only half a body away from Siakam, and he always maintained a certain defensive deterrence.Moreover, Kanter is still guarding the basket, and it is still very difficult for Siakam to complete the layup directly.But he didn't give up. A European step passed Kanter's side, and then flew up and dialed the ball to the basket.
"Snapped!"
Not long after Siakam shot, while the basketball was still rising, a big black hand suddenly appeared in Siakam's sight, and then the racket flew.
It was not Grant who completed the block, but Paul George.Just when Siakam used the European step to bypass Kanter, Paul George moved.He knows very well that neither Kanter nor Grant has lost the best chance to interfere with writing an offense.
In fact, Paul George's position is not close to the basket.But he still ran all the way.As the core of the Thunder's defense after Robertson's reimbursement for the season, he will not let go of every opportunity that may prevent the opponent from scoring.
The basketball was caught outside the left three-point line by Paul George, hit the floor and bounced off the court.At this time, An Luo and the opponent's Danny Green both rushed to the basketball at the same time.Perhaps Paul George's strength is too strong, and the basketball flies very fast.An Luo could only run desperately, then threw himself off the court, intercepted the basketball that had flown out of the court in the air, then swung his right arm and threw the ball to Westbrook.
"boom!"
An Luo rushed directly into the auditorium.But the good thing is that everyone caught him and avoided the possibility of injury.Fortunately, he is just a "thin" guard. If he was O'Neal's size, the audience in that area might also rush away.
