Chapter 849

Chapter 849

When Westbrook ran out of the tunnel with the Thunder players, the atmosphere in the Chesapeake Energy Arena was completely ignited.I have to say that although Oklahoma is only a small city, the basketball atmosphere here is really great.Because there will always be a group of fanatical fans here.

However, the Thunder players did not feel particularly high spirits.Including An Luo, everyone had a look of exhaustion on their faces.This is left over from the big fight in Salt Lake City last night, and it's also brought by the few hours of flying today.

"Back-to-back games are really difficult. However, we still have the confidence to win tonight's game. Because this is the Chesapeake Energy Arena! In our home court, no one can easily take away the game!"

This is the last sentence An Luo said to reporters before the game.He's always been that confident.

The game will start soon!

When the starting players from both sides came to the field, An Luo took a serious look at the opponent's players.

Smith, Bill, Bonga, Hachimura, Bryant.

Bill, who was standing with him, had known him for a long time.Moreover, the relationship between An Luo and the other party is not bad.As representatives of the new generation of shooting guards, these two guys can be regarded as sympathetic to each other.

Embarrassingly, apart from Bill, An Luo really didn't know each other's other starting players.

"That No. 8 should be this year's No. 9 Xiu Hachimura, and he doesn't look like a Japanese! It's so black..."

When entering the arena, An Luo was asked about Rui Hachimura by an Asian reporter. An Luo was vague and perfunctory.However, the name was remembered by him.Now after the player came on the field, he took a serious look at the opponent.Judging from the skin color, it should be black, but the face still has some Asian features.Looks strong and should be in good physical shape.

Mixed races are just different.However, can this look enter the Japanese national team?If it is in the Celestial Dynasty, there must be no chance!

Of course, An Luo does not discriminate against mixed race players.In any case, this is much better than the naturalized player next door, Luo Jianer.

I just don't know, how good is this No. 9 show?

Adams lost to the opponent's No. 13 player at the jump ball.Although Adams is a little taller than the opponent, it has to be said that young people just jump higher.Although, Adams is also very young.

Wizards No. 14 player Ish Smith grabbed the basketball in front of Westbrook and then pushed toward his frontcourt.Several other Wizards players are not slow, especially Bill and the mixed-race Hachimura.After Smith came to the top of the arc, he passed the ball to Hachimura who cut to the penalty area under the cover of his teammates.The latter catches the ball and continues to walk in, pushes against Robertson, who has switched defenses, to the basket, then bends down, pushes his butt, straightens his whole body, hooks his right hand, and completes the layup.

An Luo nodded. It can be seen that this mixed-race Japanese has a good low-post attack ability and a strong physical confrontation ability.There is no doubt about Robertson's defensive ability. He can defend from the first to the fourth position, but when facing the opponent's center, he still feels a little powerless.

The basketball spun and fell into the net bag.

2:0

The Wizards took the lead in the away game.However, as the host, Thunder quickly responded.

After Adams sent the ball to Westbrook, he quickly ran across the center line and made a pick-and-roll for Westbrook before the top of the arc.Westbrook is very familiar with this kind of cooperation. Seeing the situation, he changed direction and accelerated to bypass Adams. At the same time, he also got rid of Smith who was following him.However, Wizards center Thomas Bryant switched defenses quickly and did not give Westbrook an easy chance to score.

However, Thomas Bryant's supplementary defense is in place, and when Smith faces Adams, it's enough!Westbrook is well aware of this, too.He moved Thomas Bryant toward the baseline on the right, waited until the basket was completely clear, and threw the ball behind his head with a backhand.

After finishing the pick-and-roll and starting to roll down, Adams received the ball, pressed Ish Smith and easily dunked the ball into the basket.

2:2

The Chesapeake Energy Arena fans cheered jubilantly as Adams dunked, then settled back into their seats.

Next, the game entered a period of tug-of-war.Both sides come and go, and the score rises alternately.

The atmosphere in the Chesapeake Energy Arena is always very high, whether it is the cheers for the Thunder players or the boos for the Wizards players, they are all very enthusiastic.

It seems that the Wizards are not as weak as imagined.The performance of their two young men, Thomas Bryant and Rui Hachimura, is really impressive.Especially Thomas Bryant, when facing Adams, who is taller and more experienced than him, he did not lose the wind in the slightest.The offense is very impactful, the defense is also very active, and even gave Westbrook a solid chasing cap!Perhaps, the guy surnamed Bryant is not simple!

Such a game is so beautiful!People who really love basketball must like winning, but they don't necessarily like one-sided games.Evenly matched confrontation is the most attractive part of a basketball game.

The only thing that makes everyone unsatisfied is that in this half of the game, An Luo and Bill, who are the top scorers of the two teams, did not show too much enthusiasm for scoring.When the ball was in their hands, almost all of them were passed to their teammates.Although other players on both sides scored very efficiently, everyone still prefers to see the wonderful performances of star players.

Of course, no one thinks this will last for long.After all, once the strong defensive teams from both sides come up, it is difficult for ordinary players to help the team stabilize the situation, and they have to rely on the stars of the team.

It is a pity that this situation did not change much until the end of the first half.

Although the Thunder's offensive was very fierce, the Wizards, led by Thomas Bryant and Rui Hachimura, resisted tenaciously.By the end of the first half, the two sides scored 59:58.Not only did the Thunder not take advantage of it at home, but they were 1 point behind the opponent.

Of course, this 1 point is naturally not a big difference. The two teams were basically evenly divided in the first half.But judging from the strength of the lineups of both sides, the Thunder's performance is not very good.
