Chapter 862 Scoring Champion Qualification
An Luo's two consecutive three-pointers directly dispelled the last reversal momentum of the Houstonians.
In the next few minutes, the Houstonians basically gave up resistance, only Chris Paul still persisted.This is one of the reasons why Houston wanted to introduce Paul.Harden's performance at critical moments is indeed a bit weak.And Chris Paul's desire to win can make up for such problems.
But in this game, they really can't do anything.
In the end, the Thunder defeated the Houstonians 128:112 at the Toyota Center, avoiding being reversed again and suffering a losing streak, while also ending the opponent's winning streak.
After the referee blew the whistle to end the game, An Luo was surrounded by Thunder players in the middle of the arena. Everyone jumped and celebrated the victory.In fact, An Luo is not the only one who is angry, other Thunder players including Westbrook also feel that way.Especially when the opponent fought back in the last quarter, the resentment of being reversed by the Blazers once again flooded the players' hearts.Therefore, whether it is offense or defense, the Thunder played very strongly.
An Luo, who broke free from the crowd, walked straight towards Harden.Although they fought head-to-head and refused to give an inch in the game, the game is now over.Off the court, everyone is good friends.
"Man, you won this one! Congratulations! But I'll beat you guys in Oklahoma."
"I hope you get what you want!"
An Luo patted Harden on the shoulder and replied indifferently.Regarding the current team of Houstonians, An Luo didn't think they would be opponents of the Thunder.He is sure that as long as it is under normal circumstances, no matter how many times it is encountered, the result will be the same as this one.
Amid the boos that gradually diminished, An Luo and others left the arena with their heads held high.It left a lonely place for those Houstonians.
However, domestic fans cannot see this scene.
Many things happened this year, making Houston, the once-recognized Chinese home team, disappear from everyone's field of vision. The NBA has never been a pure basketball world, and his connection with the outside world is too close.As a member of this alliance, whether it is words, deeds or behavior, it is likely to have a great impact on this alliance.And the Houstonians, after the arrogant and ignorant general manager's rant, suffered a great price.
In this information age, it is really difficult to make a team disappear from the sight of more than one billion people.But the Houstonians did it!They not only affected themselves, but incidentally affected other teams that played against them.
Even if they are playing against the Thunder, the new home team of Chinese fans, the treatment they "enjoy" is the same.
However, after the game, some related news spread on the Internet.The fact that An Luo led the Thunder to beat the Houstonians at the Toyota Center quickly spread among the fan circles.For this, everyone felt very relieved.
While venting their anger, everyone was also surprised by An Luo's performance.
In fact, now An Luo no longer needs to prove himself through competitions.Whether it is in the NBA or the national team, he has led the team to the peak position as an absolute main force.Being crowned NBA Finals MVP, World Cup MVP and Finals MVP within a year, An Luo has already surpassed his predecessors to be called the No. 1 of China's men's basketball team.
But this season's An Luo has become stronger!
In this game, An Luo played 32.3 minutes and scored 22 points with a super high overall shooting percentage of 16 of 43 shots!Among them, including 8 three-pointers and 3 free throws.At the same time, An Luo also contributed 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals. His offensive and defensive performance has surpassed Westbrook, the head of the Thunder.Although An Luo made 3 turnovers in the game, compared with his luxurious statistics, it seems insignificant.
43 points is also the highest score in this game.Harden's 38 points are good enough, but that's when he takes more shots than An Luo.But in terms of scoring, An Luo is a veritable scoring leader in this game.
Not just this game, in the six games since the start of the season, An Luo averaged 36.5 points per game, which is also the leading scorer among all players in the league at this stage.Especially in the last three games, An Luo's performance was even more explosive.Among them, An Luo scored the fewest points in the Thunder's loss to the Trail Blazers, with only 38 points. He scored more than 40 points in the other two games.
Among the active NBA players, there are quite a few with such a strong scoring ability, but at this stage, there are very few scoring performances that are good enough.
The previous No.1 scoring list was Tre Young, who performed amazingly in the first week of the season, but now he has fallen.In recent games, this young man has gradually become "normal".An average of 32 points per game is still the top of the league, but it is much worse than the 38 points per game in the first week.
Harden is still on the list. Although he only scored more than 20 points in two games, with the 51 points he scored in the previous game against the Wizards, his scoring average is only a little more than 1 point lower than An Luo.
In addition to these three people, Bill of the Wizards, Doncic of the Lone Ranger, Downs of the Timberwolves, Irving of the Nets, Lillard of the Trail Blazers, Antetokounmpo of the Bucks are temporarily ranked in front of the scoring list. And Anthony Davis of the Lakers.
Although it is the previous life on the scoring list, there is a gap of nearly 8 points between An Luo and Downs who is ranked tenth.However, the season has only just begun and it is too early to discuss the final outcome.Just like the previous two seasons, Harden scored lower than many people at the beginning, but slowly rose.I believe that in this season, Harden's performance will not be worse than the previous two seasons.
This season An Luo made up his mind to challenge those personal honors in the regular season.The scoring champion is one of the most important ones.After all, for an All-Star shooting guard, if he has not won the scoring title in his career, it is really a bit of a misnomer.
Judging from these few games, An Luo is not whimsical.He has that level of scoring ability, and his tactical status in this Thunder team is higher than in the previous two seasons.Moreover, in many cases, Donovan will put his offensive expectations on An Luo.This undoubtedly provided An Luo with more opportunities to score.
If this state has been maintained, An Luo is very likely to overwhelm a large number of opponents and win the scoring crown this season.
