The "head-up" between An Luo and Mitchell did not last too long.After all, today is different from the past. The era of relying on unlimited singles by stars to attract audiences and win games is gone, and the current offensive and defensive system requires more players to participate in the game.What the players do more in the game is to integrate the individual into the overall system of the team, rather than let the whole accommodate the individual.
The Jazz took a nice lead in the first quarter.Playing at home, they found their form earlier than the Thunder.
After the short confrontation between An Luo and Mitchell ended, the Jazz's Ingles began to play his role in the elbow area.He hit two jumpers in a row, leading the Jazz to another 11:2 offensive climax.
At this time, only 7 minutes had passed in the first quarter, and the Thunder's trailing score had already been stretched to double digits by the opponent.Donovan had to call a timeout.During this period of time, the Jazz's offensive pressure is really too strong!He has to come to relieve the pressure on the court, and by the way, replace Westbrook and Robertson who are not in good shape.
After returning from the timeout, the Thunder's offense slowly found its own rhythm.
After Westbrook rested, An Luo automatically entered the role of organizer.This point, after he showed his excellent passing ability in the last game, Donovan confirmed it for him.
Conley is a one-position player with outstanding ability on both ends of the floor.Moreover, he has more seasoned game experience than Mitchell.Therefore, An Luo did not play more easily in the first position than in the second position.Fortunately, when Alexander and Grant are on the court, An Luo's pressure on the offensive end is reduced a lot.
Under the cover of Adams, An Luo got rid of Conley's entanglement.However, Gobert, who switched defenses, still brought him tremendous pressure.Although more flexible and faster than the opponent, An Luo couldn't shake the opponent away after several attempts.But not every defender is Chris Paul. It is still a little difficult to play big.
However, An Luo looked at Alexander's figure while tossing and turning.Young people are always very active in the game, actively defending, actively running, and actively looking for opportunities.When An Luo saw him, Alexander was already under the cover of his teammates off the ball, throwing off the defender and cutting into the free throw line.This is clearly a great opportunity!An Luo naturally would not hesitate.
An Luo's pass made Alexander feel very comfortable. He received the ball naturally while he was on the move, flew up, and Gobert, who immediately let go of An Luo and rushed towards him, threw it with a high throw.
The basketball crossed a high arc and fell steadily into the basket.
Alexander rushed towards An Luo excitedly, and the two had a passionate collision near the middle circle.An Luo has a very familiar feeling about Alexander's reaction. Three years ago, he also treated Westbrook in the same way.Thinking of this, An Luo couldn't help but smile.Time flies!In a blink of an eye, I am also a veteran!A veteran who can take care of a newcomer during the game.
In the first quarter of the game, An Luo played 10 minutes.2 minutes more than the previous game.Unknowingly, An Luo has surpassed Westbrook in playing time.However, the situation of the game was not ideal for the Thunder.When An Luo was off the field, the Thunder trailed by 5 points.But this point difference was once again opened to double digits by the Jazz in the last 2 minutes.Mudiay, who came off the bench, was eye-catching and scored two three-pointers in a row.
In the second quarter, Donovan went uncharacteristically and directly let An Luo and Gallinari come off the bench with three substitutes.Although he doesn't like D'Antoni's employment policy very much, it has to be said that this kind of formation is indeed very effective.
An Luo took the lead and blew the offensive horn at the beginning of the game.After he hit a three-pointer with a step back against Conley, on the defensive end, he used his height and wingspan to successfully interfere with Conley's shooting. Then, he rushed to the basket and flew up, completing the For the first time in the new season dunk.
Originally, Conley and An Luo were at the outermost positions.When An Luo intercepted the ball, no one in the Jazz could stop him from scoring.Although Conley chased after him, he was already a bit behind when he started, and he could only watch An Luo complete a powerful windmill dunk.
When An Luo blew the offensive horn, everyone else in the Thunder on the field also took action.
Gallinari followed An Luo's momentum of scoring 5 points in a row and hit a goal from beyond the three-point line, and then Alexander also made a three-pointer.Under the fierce attack of these guys, the Thunder played a 3:16 counterattack climax in the first 5 minutes of this quarter, tying the score to 43.
With a timeout from Snyder, the atmosphere of the game suddenly became tense.The boos in the energy solution arena became louder, and the confrontation and physical contact between the players became more frequent in the subsequent games.
After returning from the timeout, Mitchell began to exert strength.In fact, he has been helping the Jazz score.However, in the first few minutes, he prefers to use his own shooting to solve the problem.Of course, Mitchell's shooting ability is not bad.But anyway, his hit rate in these few minutes was really not high.
After a short hiatus, he's finally open!
After bypassing O'Neal's screen, Mitchell pulled up directly, faced Gallinari who was rushing towards him, and threw the ball in.
Mitchell hit back a three-pointer to help the team regain the lead, and the two teams saw-saw several rounds afterwards.The teenager Alexander performed well and scored 7 points in a row, helping the team complete the overtake at 2 minutes and 15 seconds before halftime.
However, in the last 2 minutes, the Jazz once again took the lead.First, O'Neal scored 5 points in a row, and then Mitchell broke through and dunked.If Westbrook hadn't shot a cold arrow from outside the three-point line and hit a three-pointer, the Thunder would have handed in a goalless draw in the last 2 minutes of the second quarter.
At the end of halftime, the score between the two sides was fixed at 59:64, with the visiting team Thunder ahead and the home team Jazz behind.
The fact that the Thunder fell behind the Jazz in the first half did not surprise everyone. After all, the Jazz are also a very strong team.In this level of competition, whoever is in better condition will be able to take the initiative in the competition.Of course, the difference of 5 points is actually not a big difference between the two teams. No one with more than [-] points can dare to say that there is any advantage.
