Vol 3 Chapter 88: 3 losing streak

　
　
　　->　->　　 At the beginning of the new year, the Thunder easily defeated the injured Los Angeles Clippers at home. However, although it was a good start, it did not bring much luck to the Thunder.
　　 After this game, the Thunder began a 4-day road trip. This also includes an away back-to-back game.
　　 3 games in 4 days, very difficult! I don't know why, but the Thunder have had a lot of back-to-back games this season, and they are always away.
　　 On January 3, the Thunder headed to Milwaukee to challenge the stags led by Antetokounmpo.
　　 Speaking of Brother Alphabet, I have to sigh that the Bucks really found a treasure! Although he didn't immediately play out when he first joined the league, he has been improving over the years. This also allows the Bucks management to see hope for the future.
　　 So far this season, Antetokounmpo has averaged 23.8 points, 8.9 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game, in addition to 2 blocks and 2 steals. These five statistics are the top of the team.
　　 And Westbrook's data is even more explosive, so far, he still maintains the data of a triple-double per game. In the last game he completed a triple-double in only 19 minutes!
　　 The two talented stars met in a narrow way, and the game was very exciting.
　　 An Luo greeted Bucks rookie Brogdon before the game. When they were in the training camp, the relationship between the two was pretty good.
　　 "Malcolm, I heard that you have had a good life these days! I said you were better than this guy. Am I right?"
　　 "I can't compare to you! Ann. You guys played really well! I watched the game against Memphis, and you are a superstar!"
　　 After a wave of bragging about each other, they each prepared for the game.
　　As soon as the game opened, Westbrook played quite aggressively. He shot from inside to outside, scored 8 points in a row, led the Thunder to a wave of 16:6 attacks, and made a perfect start.
　　 But after the timeout, the Bucks returned a 12:5 thunder wave to close the score. An Luo debuted with 4 minutes left in the first quarter. However, he did not immediately enter the state, shot 3 times from the three-point line, only hit 1 ball.
　　 In the following game, the score was very entangled.
　　 Tonight, the defense of both teams is very good. It's not easy to not score a goal.
　　 An Luo was very uncomfortable being targeted, and Delavidova's crazy defense made him a little bit at a loss. At the end of the third quarter, he relied on a free throw to break his score to double digits.
　　 The two teams fought until the last moment.
　　 With 14.2 seconds left in the game, the Thunder trailed by 90:92 by 2 points! But with the ball in hand, they have time to complete an attack.
　　 Donovan handed the ball to Westbrook to handle. At such a critical moment, he is unwilling to interfere with his players.
　　 After receiving the ball, Westbrook rushed into the post under the cover of Adams. He originally wanted to find the online Anluo or Oladipo after the breakthrough, but the Bucks did not choose to double-team him, and the outside line has been following very tightly without any neutral.
　　 He can only be aggressive. But when he rushed to the penalty area to prepare for a layup, Snell cut the ball out.
　　 The situation suddenly became extremely unfavorable for the Thunder. After receiving the ball, Brogdon did not immediately launch a counterattack, he was ready to run out of time.
　　 There is no way, An Luo can only foul Brogdon and send the opponent to the free throw line.
　　 Actually, the Thunder have the opportunity to drag the game into overtime. Brogdon made one of two free throws, leaving them 6.5 seconds to play the final offense.
　　 It is a pity that after receiving a pass from Westbrook, Anlow did not make it. Brogdon pounced directly when he took off. An Luo clearly felt that his right hand was slapped by the opponent, but the referee did not sound the whistle.
　　 An Luo and Donovan found the referee the first time, but the other side ignored them. In fact, at the last moment, the referee will not interfere with the confrontation between players. Except for particularly obvious and serious actions.
　　 In the end, the Thunder unfortunately lost to the Bucks 90:93 and ended their first away game in the New Year.
　　 After losing to the Bucks, the Thunder suffered another defeat in Charlotte.
　　 This game Westbrook performed well enough on both ends of the offense and defense. Playing nearly 40 minutes, scored 33 points, plus 15 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 block and 2 steals. Westbrook did everything he could.
　　 But other players didn't give him enough help. Except for An Luo, who came off the bench, played normally, everyone else was out of shape.
　　 Of course, this is only part of the reason they lost. More importantly, Westbrook met a better Hornets! Under Walker's leadership, they pressed the Thunder from start to finish.
　　 Walker’s organization and the outbreak of Batum and Kaminsky are the keys to the Hornets’ victory. These three people scored 20, 28, and 21 points, and also contributed 21 rebounds and 16 assists.
　　 plus other role players also played very well. Thunder can be considered unjustly lost.
　　 Interestingly, Westbrook got his 10th technical foul this season in the game~EbookFREE.me~ The process of getting this technical foul is also very unusual.
　　 It happened when there were 3 minutes and 13 seconds left in the first quarter, and both sides entered a timeout. Westbrook threw the ball to the referee. Who knows that the ball is hitting Maddox's head impartially. Another referee, Brent, immediately called him a technical foul.
　　 "I don't know how to explain to you, man. I really didn't mean it, I am not that kind of person! I will never be so rude in a game, let alone hit a referee with a ball."
　　 Even after a long time, An Luo wanted to laugh as long as he thought of Westbrook's innocent face when explaining the ball to reporters.
　　 With a two-game losing streak, An Luo hurried to Houston with everyone. This is another difficult game. The strength of the opponent, coupled with the back-to-back, the Thunder reluctantly swallowed the defeat again.
　　 However, although the Thunder lost, Westbrook did not lose to the third brother. He played a Harden-style game, shooting 8 of 15 three-pointers, 12 of 15 free throws, scoring 43 points, plus 8 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals.
　　 It's a pity that the Houstonians exploded this night. The starting five all scored in double figures, and Harden, Hilario and Gordon scored more than 20 points.
　　 An Luo did not play in this game. After finishing the last game in Charlotte, he felt a little sore in his right shoulder. Although the team doctor's diagnosis was okay, Donovan still cautiously put him on the bench. After returning to Oklahoma for a detailed inspection, make a decision.
