-> -> After the three away games this time, the Thunder returned to Oklahoma to welcome the visiting Nuggets.
The last time in Denver, the Thunder will fight for 53 minutes and win with difficulty. This time, the Thunder, which has lost three games in a row, are desperate for a victory at home to change the recent decline.
The Nuggets have lost the amazing performance of the beginning of the season. They have lost all of the last four games and need a victory to adjust their state.
So in this game, both sides paid very high attention. No one wants to lose again!
However, the Nuggets' poor defense paid for their failure.
Donovan is in tonight's formation, allowing the better offensive Anro and Kanter to play longer. His tone is to grasp the Nuggets' defensive weakness and maximize his offensive ability.
So as soon as they came on the court, the Thunder players fought against each other.
Westbrook didn't feel good in the opening game. But this has little effect on the game. For the Thunder players and Chesapeake Energy Arena fans, there is nothing to fuss about. After all, Westbrook is like this almost every night.
Oladipo shared the burden of scoring. He made 3 of 5 shots from the outside to help the Thunder keep the advantage.
When An Luo played, the Thunder's offense became simple. Whenever there is a chance, both Westbrook and Christon will give him the ball.
Faced with Nelson, An Luo played well.
When he ran out of the open position, he took the ball and shot, but the opponent couldn't react. An Luo's shot speed has exceeded Nelson's reaction speed. If he holds the ball, Nielsen's experience can provide him with some help in defending Anlow, but only some. Whether it's post-back singles or using the rhythm to sway the opponent, An Luo has done very well.
Not only Nelson can't stop An Luo, but the Nuggets' starting second player Button also can't stop An Luo. However, this guy's scoring ability is still very strong, and An Luo can't limit the opponent.
In the second quarter, both sides almost completely gave up defense. The Nuggets scored 40 points under the outstanding performance of Button and Chandler. But the Thunder are really not afraid of confronting opponents. They also scored 38 points in the second quarter!
In the end, the two sides tied for 60 and entered the second half.
During the intermission, Donovan praised his players. He is not dissatisfied with the score problem, after all, the tactics are like this, and the players have done well enough.
In the second half, the play style of the two sides still did not change much, they were still mainly offensive. Donovan just emphasized the protection of rebounds. After all, grabbing a rebound means an extra opportunity to attack.
In the third quarter, Westbrook tried to make two shots, but failed to score. So he reduced his shots, instead focusing on passing and constantly assisting teammates.
Not to mention, once Westbrook becomes sane, the Thunder's strength will have to be greatly improved.
In this section, Anluo and Oladipo took turns to play. Under the leadership of Westbrook, the Nuggets are already a little bit overwhelmed. However, Gallinari scored 6 points in a row at the last minute and pulled the Nuggets back from the edge of the cliff.
However, this is just a reflection.
In the fourth quarter, Westbrook was fully fired. He picked up his shot bag again and made frequent hits. With 5 minutes left in the game, Westbrook made a three-pointer and opened the point difference to 20 points. This is the ball, the Nuggets completely lost hope of winning.
In the end, with Westbrook's perfect performance of 35 points, 17 rebounds and 13 assists, the Thunder defeated the Nuggets at home, ending their three-game losing streak and giving their opponents a five-game losing streak.
After the game, An Luo chatted with Murray for a while. Murray didn't get many opportunities in this game, but this guy has a good mentality. The mentality of "I can definitely do it," An Luo is really envious.
Of course, he didn't know that his scoring average of 20+ per game is also the envy of all rookies.
A not too difficult victory brought luck to the Thunder. In the next two games, the Thunder also won very strongly.
On January 10, the Thunder challenged the Bulls away.
The Bulls are the most disappointing team this season. With Wade, Rondo and Butler, their goal is definitely more than just getting into the playoffs. But so far, the Bulls' record is not good.
In this game, Rondo is absent, Butler is in a downturn, and there is one Wade left.
In fact, as the league's fewer and fewer players. The matchup between Westbrook and Butler is what everyone is looking forward to. But Butler's downturn has disappointed everyone. Throughout the game, Butler felt nothing and didn't make a goal! Relying on free throws to get 1 point.
Despite Wade's outstanding performance, his two punches are hard to match with four hands. Except for a little help from Michaelis, no other Bulls players can count on it.
But the Thunder side is different. Westbrook doesn't score high, but he has a lot of helpers.
An Luo, Adams, Kanter, UU reading www.uukānshu. Com, the three guys most "cared for" by Westbrook, scored more than 20. Their outstanding performance also allowed Westbrook to complete a triple-double with 4 minutes left in the third quarter.
After the game with the Bulls ended, the Thunder returned to Oklahoma City and once again faced the Memphis Grizzlies.
This time, Westbrook has taken revenge!
As soon as he came up, Westbrook hit the Grizzlies' penalty area very hard. Although the shooting percentage is not high, the Thunder stabilized the opponent in momentum.
Throughout the first half, facing the strong offense of the home team, the Grizzlies did not make a few decent responses. So much so that they had to enter the third quarter with 20 points behind.
In the second half, Conley and Randolph of the Grizzlies played very tenaciously. They were inside and out, not only restricted the Thunder's offense, but also shredded the Thunder's defense.
Throughout the third quarter, they recovered a 10-point difference. This is not easy.
By the fourth quarter, Conley and Randolph are still tenacious. But Donovan put his three guards and two insiders on the court. This not only ensures the quality of defense, but also increases the output points of offense.
When the Grizzlies approached the score and saw the hope of winning, it was An Luo who stood up again. Incarnate as a warrior who slaughters a bear. His three three-pointers directly defeated the hope of the Memphis.
In the end, the Thunder defeated the visiting Grizzlies 105:95 at home. After another three-game losing streak, he won another three-game winning streak.
