Vol 3 Chapter 283: Ruined

"Pop~"
"Pop~"

...
The New Orleans Arena is unusually quiet, and even the sound of basketball hitting the floor can be heard clearly. At this point, there are still 2 minutes until the end of the game. The Pelicans trail the Thunder by 3 points. After nearly three games, the Pelicans are still struggling to distinguish the victory or defeat when the game is about to end with the Thunder for the first time. The performance in the fourth quarter made all New Orleans fans very satisfied.
Therefore, these last two minutes are critical!
Rondo was dribbling the ball one step beyond the three-point line, and An Luo was now on the three-point line, bowed and opened his hands, keeping his eyes on the opponent, guarding his possible next moves.
Rondo watched for a while, then handed the ball to Holiday, who tried to abrupt, but did not get rid of Paul George's entanglement. Then he passed the ball back to Rondo. After Rondo received the ball, he reached out and made a gesture towards Davis. The latter understood, and immediately brought it up and gave him a cover. Rondo, who got rid of Anluo, rushed into the free throw line. This time Anro and Adams didn't change defenses, Anro squeezed Davis hard and followed Rondo closely.
The ball was still in Davis's hands, but the tricks tried and tested before finally failed. After Adams chased it out, the defense at the basket was indeed empty, but Anlo did not give Rondo a chance to layup. And Davis has no advantage in dislocation playing Anlow. Although he used his personal ability to sway Adams to find a shot, but after the ball was thrown, he failed to make a hit.
The rebound was grabbed by Paul George, he dribbled it out himself, and then handed it to Westbrook. The latter rushed to the basket after receiving the ball, originally trying to catch the opponent's footing and make a two-pointer. But the Pelicans retreated very quickly. Davis was already at the basket, and Rondo followed. He can only reverse direction, take the ball out of the three-point line again, and reorganize the attack.
"control time!"
Donovan was now on the sidelines, yelling towards Westbrook. It is naturally excellent to be able to attack quickly. But if it fails, then settle down and score the ball before the offensive time runs out. Anyway, he is the leader now, and the one who should worry is the Pelicans.
Rondo knew Thunder's plan, but he did not act rashly. It's just in front of Westbrook, preventing him from suddenly starting a breakthrough. He understands that it's useless to be anxious now. If you accidentally foul the rules, you will lose out!
Time was lost bit by bit, and the players on both sides became more and more nervous. This ball is very important!
With 8 seconds left, Westbrook moved! He rushed toward the front right, not particularly fast! He still used the cover of his teammates to fight in. But this time Adams did not come out. After Paul George blocked Westbrook, he went down to the bottom right corner. An Luo, who was originally in that position, slipped around Adams from the bottom line to the other side. Westbrook went straight to the basket and rushed towards Davis. Davis is not afraid of Westbrook's breakthrough. In this game, he paid attention to his foul, not as passive as the previous one. He leaned a little further, holding his hands up, watching Westbrook's further movements.
Westbrook is too steel to work! He was going to layup directly against Davis. But then the ball is often thrown out immediately. With Davis' physical condition, the defensive range is really too big! What's more, the two are now in a reasonable collision zone. Westbrook is strong enough, he can also complete the layup. But he did not. At this time, An Luo had already circled the court and reached a 45-degree angle on the left. Although he has not completely got rid of the opponent's defense, the space in front of him is enough for An Luo! Both Westbrook and An Luo understand this. So Westbrook passed the ball to Anlow at the last minute, and the latter did not hesitate. After receiving the ball, he immediately shot. After all, the little offensive time left is not enough for him to observe the positions of other teammates!
"Huh~"
The goal is scored! Westbrook rushed towards An Luo. The two had a passionate collision in midfield. At this crucial moment, a three-pointer really gave the Thunder a reassurance. Not only the players like Westbrook were very excited, but even Donovan was faintly relieved.
98:92, the Thunder extended the lead to 6 points!
The Pelican called a timeout. At this time, we must emphasize the success rate of the offense! If you play like this one round, the game will be hopeless.
Back to the game, Davis returned to the basket and scored a goal under Adams. Chased the score back some. But a two-pointer is just a drop in the bucket. But at this time, Thunder gave the opponent a chance!
Adams missed a mid-range shot after receiving a ball from Westbrook. After Davis got the rebound ~EbookFREE.me~ the Pelicans had a further chance to recover the score.
Unfortunately, the Thunder made up for their mistakes with their defense. The Pelicans still play Davis, but Adams resisted this time. He is actually not afraid of head-on, once he keeps up with the opponent's rhythm, Davis will not be so easy.
In the end, the basketball was passed back to Rondo. It was Gentry's opinion to hand the ball to Rondo at the crucial moment, and it was also unanimously approved by the Pelicans.
Rondo didn't have much time to think about it. He beckoned directly, and then rushed in directly by Davis's pick and roll. He wants to come by himself! After all, the other Pelicans on the court are not in a good position. But An Luo has been following each other closely. Although Rondo's emergency stop jumper was very sudden, An Luo responded perfectly. He took off straight away. Although Billundo was half a beat slower, his long arms still forced the opponent to adjust his most familiar shooting rhythm.
"boom!"
This is probably the last sound you want to hear at the New Orleans Arena! It was heartbreaking. The rebounds were snatched by Westbrook, which broke their hearts even more!
Donovan did not call a timeout. The rhythm on the court is very good, he does not want to interrupt such a rhythm.
Westbrook launched a fast break and gave the ball to An Luo while on the move. At this time, the players on both sides are running desperately in the same direction, and the Pelicans have not built their defense at all. An Luo seized this opportunity! After receiving the ball, he slammed close to the three-point line in two steps, then pulled up and threw the ball.
For a while, everyone's eyes were focused on the orange leather ball flying to the basket.
"Huh~"
At the moment the goal was scored, Gentry held his head with both hands, he felt it was over!
