Every playoffs, the atmosphere in Oklahoma City will improve a lot. Even the Chesapeake Energy Arena, originally known as "the home of the devil", will become even more enthusiastic.
About an hour before the start of the game, the fans were almost there. Everyone put on the dark blue commemorative shirt that the arena staff put on the seat backs. This stadium suddenly became a vast ocean. After a year, the Thunder once again embarked on a road to a championship. Although last season, Oklahoma City had its own championship, but this thing is not too much for that team. No matter when, it is the ultimate goal of all teams in this league.
Players from both sides have entered the field, each doing the final warm-up on the field. The referees also began to communicate with the technical station. The game is about to begin.
At this time, whether the Thunder will roll over with the two brothers in the East has become the most concerned thing for countless fans who follow the NBA. If the Thunder also overturned the car, that would be very interesting.
With the appearance of the double starter, the game officially begins!
On the Thunder side, there are still the Big Three plus Adams and Grant. The Clippers' starting lineup is not much different from what Donovan speculated before the playoffs. Beverly, Shamet, Alexander three guards plus Gallinari and Zubac. The outstanding performances of Lu Wei and Harrell are still coming off the bench. This arrangement is very thoughtful. Let these two guys let go of their hands and feet to score. If they are placed in the starting lineup, both Lu Wei and Harrell will fall into the Thunder's defense and consume their energy in vain.
When jumped the ball, Zubac helped the Clippers win the game's first offense. Beverley pushed the ball beyond the three-point line and then handed it to Gallinari. In fact, in the current lineup of the Clippers, in most cases, they can only go to Gallinari. Although Alexander and Shamet are good, they are still too young. Zubac and Beverly, their ability to attack independently is very average. After Gallinari got the ball, Paul George posted it. Without Robertson, Paul George will appear in front of the opponent's main scoring player in many cases.
After a few turns, Gallinari found that he could not get rid of Paul George's defense. Quickly pass the ball to Beverly who is standing outside the arc top three-point line. But Westbrook broke the ball with a seemingly risky attack. Although Beverley got entangled for the first time, Westbrook gave the ball to Paul George on the side. The latter caught the ball and immediately rushed to his own basket. Together with him are Anlow and Westbrook. But An Luo has the best chance, and Alexander, who is closest to him, is still a few feet away. Paul George took the ball to the three-point line and was entangled by the Clippers' Shamet. Without hesitation, he slammed the ball with his right hand on the floor and handed it to An Luo. After receiving the ball, the latter rushed directly to the basket, kicked hard with his left leg, flew up and dunked with one arm.
Chesapeake Energy Arena boiled directly. The audience did not sit directly in their seats, jumping and jumping in the stands, not happy. An Luo dunked at the start, but for the first time in nearly three years.
Rivers jumped from the sidelines. He couldn't stand the counterattack by the opponent stealing the first ball in the opening game. You know, the Clippers after being completely populized rely on that strong defense. Especially the starting lineup, the Clippers headed by Beverley, the desperate energy shown on defense, caused many teams to feel a headache.
attacked again, and it was Beverly who held the ball. In fact, in this Clippers team, there has always been a qualified one. Moreover, this is also a very difficult problem to solve. After playing a pick-and-roll screen with Zubac at the top of the arc, Beverley scored the ball beyond the three-point line on his way to the basket. However, Beverly's intentions for this move were too obvious. Although he successfully passed the ball into Gallinari's hands, with Paul George's inseparable defense, he still couldn't make a shot at the first time. But Shamet's timely pick and roll allowed Gallinari to get rid of Paul George's defense. Immediately, he took a big step to the right and raised his hand to meet Grant, who had come over from the defense, with a three-pointer!
"This Italian gun really deserves its reputation!"
Seeing Gallinari's clean movements, An Luo was surprised. In this league, there are many players averaging close to 20 points per game. Although they can't provoke the backbone of a team, they are not very eye-catching, but they are really powerful.
Compared with Rivers, Donovan seemed much more calm. Although Grant's defense seems to be no problem, it is still a bit slow for a pitcher like Gallinari. For such players, a little space ~EbookFREE.me~ can give them a chance to score.
2:3, the Clippers responded very firmly.
Westbrook pushed forward again with the ball, this time he swung Shamet from beyond the three-point line. Zubac, who was originally at the basket, was taken out of the post by Adams, giving Westbrook a very comfortable breakthrough space. But just as Westbrook got in for a layup, Beverly rushed towards him. Then he jumped up and slapped the basketball Westbrook was holding out of the boundary with a slap in the air. Being too aggressive, the impact of the body was completely uncontrollable, and he even fell out of the court with himself and Westbrook.
This is a very dangerous move, both for Westbrook and Beverly himself.
Westbrook got up quickly, angrily! He found the referee the first time. Fortunately, he is the referee who is looking for. If he is looking for Beverly, maybe there will be a conflict immediately. After all, these two people have a holiday! Westbrook's serious injury back then was caused by Beverly!
After repeated replay confirmation, the referee gave the Thunder a front ball. Although Beverly's movements were a bit big, he did make up the defense, and his hand was also on the basketball. After the penalty was awarded, the boos in the arena were very intense. The fans were dissatisfied with Beverly and also dissatisfied with the referee.
Actually, in this game, Beverly was not in charge of marking Westbrook. He is against Paul George. It's not that Rivers is crazy! Although Beverly is indeed at a disadvantage in terms of height, his desperate energy is very suitable to defend the opponent's arrow characters.
