On the 19th, the Oklahoma City Thunder challenged the Sacramento Kings away. This is the second time the two sides have met this season. The last time the Thunder scored 140 points in their home court and won the game. During that time, this was when Anluo was hot throughout the league. Later, people gradually got used to the 30+ An Luo, and everything returned to calm.
In this game, Westbrook, who has missed five games due to injury, is finally back! In fact, Westbrook was ready to play against the Knicks a few days ago. Of course, this is the answer given by the team doctor, Donovan doesn't think so. He has always been cautious about the health of players.
Before that, the Thunder beat the Suns at home and swept away the downturn in Dallas. Then, they beat the New York Knicks by 25 points, then moved to Phoenix, and easily won their third victory against the Suns this season. Imposing like a rainbow!
Now that the Thunder want to attract the attention of the league, they have to lose! Winning has become a matter of course. No matter which team their opponents are, the media and fans are treated the same.
However, this time against the king, it was extremely difficult.
Thunder was in a sluggish state at first. Two attempts by An Luo failed. One three-pointer, one back hit Hilde to turn over a jumper. Westbrook and Paul George also frequently hit the iron. The rim of the Golden One Center Arena refused to open its arms to these Oklahoma outsiders. The king is just the opposite. Shumpert and Belica hit three-pointers one after another as soon as they came up. Lead the king to play a wave of 10:0 attack. After two minutes of the game, the Thunder scored for the first time by Westbrook.
Thunder's downturn continued until the end of the second quarter. With their disadvantages, they entered the third quarter of the contest.
Everyone is looking forward to the arrival of this festival, but the performance of the Thunder did not make people shine. Of course, compared to the first two quarters, the Thunder played very well. Several core players have come forward, especially Westbrook. After holding back five games, he has been very active in this game. In this section, the Thunder completed the overtake. But it's not how well they played, it's that the king played too badly. Turnovers, strikes, unnecessary fouls... They only scored 13 points, while the Thunder scored 27 points.
In the last quarter, the two sides finally played the game that people expected. The two sides have been entangled until the last minute to decide the winner. After Westbrook broke through and succeeded in layup, he chased the score again. At this time there were 18 seconds left in the game. Fox was so hot-headed that he hit a fast break without choosing to waste time. Adams chased him up and gave him a great hat to Fox. Paul George caught the ball, and then threw it to An Luo with his right hand for a round. After receiving the ball, the latter rushed from the center line to the three-point line in two steps, hitting the deadly three-pointer against Hilde!
In the last 2.2 seconds, the Kings played a perfect three-pointer. Hilder hit the ball over Anlow's head in the same way. However, just as he was celebrating wildly, the referee repeatedly played back through video, and finally confirmed that Hilde had shot after the normal time, so he declared the ball invalid. After half a second, Hilde became the hero of Sacramento!
After after a thrilling victory, An Luo gave the opponent a big hug, and then said: "Man, I said long ago that your shot speed is too slow! Now you believe it?"
Leaving Sacramento, the Thunder and his entourage transfer to Oakland. Compared to the game with the Kings, the Thunder VS Warriors are naturally more exciting. However, these two teams can be regarded as the same. The Thunder's Westbrook has just returned, and the Warriors have directly missed Curry and Green. The Thunder lost Westbrook, winning all the way in a row; while the Warriors have lost three in a row. They have lost five of their last seven games. Even though Durant and Thompson had used all the strength of their last life to feed on milk, they were unable to lead the Warriors out of the predicament.
If you want to ask the person who is the most under pressure right now, it is not James who is gradually taking the Lakers out of the quagmire, nor is it Harden who is getting crazy, and it is not always a "I know everything" Cole. Instead, Durant.
Warriors can do without Durant, but they cannot do without Curry and Green.
Before Durant came, the Warriors were already the championship!
Westbrook>>Durant
……
It seems that the whole world is standing opposite Durant. Everyone is accusing him, and everyone looks down on his proud pursuit. The championship is like a curse! At the time of Thunder, he was a well-deserved superstar. Whether it is the statistics or the team's record, few have done better than him. But people accused him of not winning the championship. After winning the championship, people said he didn't lead the team to get it. Durant felt that he was too wronged, but no one knew what he was doing was wrong anyway!
This game ~EbookFREE.me~The Thunder suppressed the Warriors on both ends of the offense and defense.
On the offensive end, without Curry and Green, the Warriors' super conversion offense cannot be played. What's more uncomfortable is that without Curry's restraint, Durant played the whole game under the double-team of Paul George and Robertson. Even though he is the best undifferentiated singles superstar in the league, he still suffers huge disturbances due to lack of offensive space. Thompson was defensively by An Luo. Although he could score, no point was easy to get. As for the others, I can't count on it!
On the defensive end, the Warriors put less pressure on the Thunder. Without Green, the Warriors' defensive system basically collapsed. No one can switch to any position like him, and cause great interference to the opponent. Bloodliness and toughness were brought back to the locker room by Green.
In the end, the Thunder maintained their advantage from the beginning of the game to the end of the game. They beat the Warriors by a score in the Oracle Arena. While they won five consecutive victories, they gave the opponent a four-game losing streak.
In this game, Durant and Thompson both scored 25 points, the former also grabbed 15 rebounds. However, compared with the Big Three, it is also slightly shabby. Westbrook had a large triple-double with 3 assists and 3 steals. Anlow had 36 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal. Paul George had 25 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals. It is worth mentioning that there is also a rebounding Adams on the Thunder side!
After the game, Westbrook took the initiative to hug Durant and became the warmest scene of the night. The grievances between the two, in the hurried years, finally walked in the best direction.
