Time entered into February, and the NBA 2018-19 season officially entered the second half of the duel. Later this month, the league will usher in the All-Star Weekend. Every season, the All-Star is a hurdle. Prior to this, basically all teams were constantly running in, perfecting their teams, and adjusting the status of the players. Once this point has passed, the powers fighting for the playoffs will begin to fight with real swords.
However, for the Thunder, they have basically maintained their best form this season. Compared to last year, this year's lineup has basically not changed, so naturally there is no running-in.
After the Bucks’ focus battle, the Thunder moved to Orlando and easily defeated the Magic on the road. But neither Anluo nor Adams went with the team in that game. But even after giving up the two generals, the Thunder suppressed the Magic throughout. In this campaign, Westbrook did more on the offensive end because of the loss of an average of 28 points per game. His efficiency is also very good. He made 7 of 12 shots and 1 of 2 three-pointers. He scored 25 points, plus 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block. But Westbrook is not the best performer, Paul George is. In his appearance, he made 6 of 8 three-pointers and delivered a full score of rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks. The strong General Joe, the Magic, who had seven scoring in double figures, regretted losing; also let Vucevic, who scored rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks, became a supporting role.
Paul George's performance surprised everyone. In the current league, at the small forward position, Paul George is no less inferior to those superstars who have won FMVP. This season's performance, whether from the data or from the team record, Paul George has the upper hand. Especially this month, Paul George, who averaged 30+5+4+2 per game, is the most prominent of all frontcourt players. Looking at the league, only Harden can beat him in terms of numbers.
After the game, the discussion about Paul George quickly became a hot topic on major portals and social platforms.
"Paul George is playing the peak season of his career..."
"The Thunder has completed the connection between Westbrook and Paul George..."
"Paul George deserves this year's regular season MVP..."
……
An Luo, who was watching TV at home, had to give Paul George a thumbs up. In fact, An Luo knows the opponent's ability best. Paul George could definitely play better. But in fact, Westbrook's part is also included. As the team's star, the average number of shots per game ranked third, and is comparable to Adams, who scored the fourth point in the team. This is extremely difficult. What's more, the Thunder still have An Luo's first scoring point on the surface. Under such circumstances, Paul George has done well enough. If you change to Harden, you can't get a monthly average of 40+.
For the championship, I still have to sacrifice something.
With a six-game winning streak of invincibility, the Thunder resolved all the opponents in one go in the first half of February.
In the first match with the Miami Heat, An Luo, who was voted as the third master of the Thunder, went straight away. He made 9 three-pointers in this game, almost tying his career record. The fiery touch makes him a supporting role when he is on the court. In the end, An Luo surrendered 45 points, 3 rebounds and 2 steals. A pure shooting guard without an assist!
Then, the Thunder took a lot of hard work against the Celtics. This is the last time the two sides have met in the regular season this season. Last time at the Thunder's home court, the Celtics, who had not run smoothly, lost the game. But this time, they are bound to win. The rhythm of the entire game is also ups and downs. The Celtics led the Thunder by 12 points in the first half when the overall shooting percentage exceeded 60%. But when the game came to the Thunder as a strong third quarter, Anlow and Westbrook both broke out, the former bombarded outside the three-point line, the latter rampaged inside the free throw line. The Celtics can't stand it anymore! In this quarter, they lost the Thunder by 21 points! In the last quarter, the Celtics star Owen stepped forward, shooting inside and out, blossoming inside and out. And under his tandem, the Celtics' Morris, Smart and Horford all played brilliantly. It's a pity that with Paul George's voice, the Thunder's Big Three worked together and became unstoppable.
In the end, the Thunder defeated the Celtics again and completed the regular season sweep. An Luo once again used 40+ points to tell everyone: Who is the strongest scorer for the Thunder. At the same time, he also became another Thunder player who scored 40+ consecutively.
"If An Luo is on a team with absolute right to fire, how many points can he average?"
After this battle, such a topic became the focus of discussion among Anluo fans at home and abroad. But the protagonist of the topic ~EbookFREE.me~ did not pay attention to these things. After defeating the Celtics, the Thunder returned to Oklahoma and defeated the Magic and the Grizzlies. In these two games, Anluo's hot offensive desire finally "cooled down". But a game of 32 points and a game of 28 points are still the appearance of dominating the scoring list at the beginning of that season.
The penultimate game before the All-Star Weekend was an away game against the Rockets. This was the second focus game in February. In this game, people paid more attention to it. For example, the competition between two MVPs, the direct dialogue between the two hottest players last month, and the top two teams in the scoring list... The same thing is that every point has Harden. It's like Harden vs. the Big Three alone!
This game did not disappoint everyone. From the very beginning, Harden and An Luo started to make three-pointers. Then Paul George became the third party to intervene. But Harden wasn't afraid, and he won't fall behind. Harden was in charge of the offense, and the others worked hard to defend. The Rockets' defense at this time is not at the beginning of the season. Under this defense, the Thunder's efficiency is reduced.
In the first half, Harden scored 30 points! And led the team to a lead of nearly 20 points.
But in the third quarter, everything changed! Basically, the Thunder's reversed games all broke out in the third quarter. The Rockets are just the opposite. Most of the games that were reversed were caught off guard in the third quarter.
Like the Celtics, the Rockets also lost to the Thunder that broke out in the third quarter. Even if Harden scored 52 points, he could not stop the Thunder's winning streak.
