Vol 3 Chapter 458: Don't want to lose

Throughout the third quarter of the game, the Clippers showed a fighting capacity far surpassing the strength of their lineup. Whether on the offensive end or on the defensive end, not only do they not lag behind the Thunder, they are even better than the Thunder.
However, the Thunder did not give the Clippers a chance to comeback. They have always maintained the lead. Even at the least, only 2 points. But when they are most urgent, there are people who stand up to help the team stabilize the situation.
One is chasing desperately, the other is not letting go. The two sides remained in a stalemate until the last two minutes of the game. At this time, the atmosphere on the court suddenly became particularly tense and urgent.
In addition to scoring on the court, An Luo must also limit Lu Wei as much as possible. This is not an easy task. Lu Wei is a good scorer himself. In this game, his performance was not worse than that of the previous two days. So far, Lu Wei has scored 30 points! In this case, An Luo must spend more energy on the defensive end. Moreover, good results may not be achieved.
An Luo can only do his best.
Rivers still let Lu Wei rest for two minutes. However, before the sweat on his body was dry, Lu Wei had to play again. At this critical moment, Rivers can only pin his hopes on him.
Clippers have the ball right. Lu Wei played directly with the ball.
An Luo followed very closely, Lu Wei tried a few times, and without a chance, he handed the ball to Harrell. The latter hit Adams with the back of the ball, bit by bit inwards. Adams' core strength is not weak, but he still cannot completely resist Harrell.
Harrell pushed Adams into the free throw line, then turned around a half and then back, the small scored the ball.
Harrell's ability to score autonomously is very good. The whole offensive action is very coherent and looks quite relaxed.
Turning back, Westbrook pushed forward quickly. He started directly from the center line, ditched Gallinari who was following him in one step, and then crossed the free throw line. After he rushed up, almost no one could restrain him. Westbrook is as fast as a bolt of lightning! With both hands raised, he twisted his waist and swayed Harrell who had come over from the defense. Then he leaped high, and ended the attack with a powerful buckle.
After dunking, Westbrook roared loudly, and then showed off his arm muscles at the camera.
It's so amazing!
This is the way Westbrook plays. Unreasonable, rampage. But I have to say that such a dunk can always ignite the fire in everyone's heart, thereby driving the momentum on the court.
This round passed and the time was 30 seconds short. Both sides scored a goal each and the score became 105:100. The Thunder still leads.
The Clippers continued their offense. The ball was still given to Lu Wei! At the critical moment, among the five people on the field, Lu Wei was more reassuring.
Of course, for Lu Wei's defense, the Thunder did a great job. The moment Lu Wei caught the ball, An Luo posted it. At the same time, Grant leaned a little closer to where the two of them were. As long as Lu Wei initiates an attack, he can double-team him immediately.
In this game, Donovan only double-teamed Lu Wei. Like other games, the Thunder restrict the opponent's ball holders through unlimited defenses. They rarely use double defensive tactics. Lu Wei, this can be regarded as enjoying the treatment of a star player.
But Lu Wei did not panic. Once Grant came over, he handed the ball to Gallinari. The latter took the ball and shot, but Adams almost arrived with the basketball. He raised his hands and jumped hard. Although it cannot be directly covered, it is enough to interfere.
"jump!"
The ball missed!
Harrell jumped high and grabbed the rebound. Without Adams at the basket, he seemed comfortable. Without passing the ball, he prepared to come by himself.
This is not a brainless choice, but it is not a good one. Adams pulls out to cover Gallinari, but the Thunder is not the only one in the penalty area.
Westbrook has quick eyes and quick hands, and cut off the basketball in Harrell's hand. Then he rushed to the frontcourt with the ball. He was going to grab a rebound, but he "swiped" a steal! Of course, the results are the same. The fast break initiated by him is the sharpest arrow of the Thunder.
At the same time that Westbrook started, Anro and Paul George, both left and right, are the points where the Thunder can end the offense, making it impossible for the Clippers to return to defense.
Westbrook's position is relatively behind. After all, he was attacking from the bottom line, and Beverly quickly followed him. Westbrook didn't worry about whether he should end this offense. He threw the ball directly to An Luo on the left forty-five degrees.
This is a very reasonable choice. There is a Gallinari beside Paul George, and Alexander is still a little away from Anro.
Anlow did not disappoint Westbrook. After he received the ball, he didn't make much adjustments, he used his legs to jump directly and threw the ball ~EbookFREE.me~ In front of him, there was only the basket. An Luo rarely misses such shots.
108:100
This three-pointer is really important! With a little over 1 point left in the game, the Thunder led by 8 points. Although not insured, they have the upper hand no matter from the situation or the heart.
On the contrary, the Clippers are a little worried. They worked hard for a whole game and had many chances to tie the score, but they were always short of breath. However, there are still opportunities now. Rivers called a timeout. He must arrange this last minute well and make the last fight.
Donovan is doing the same thing. Victory is hard-won, and for the playoffs, it is even harder to win a victory! Now, the victory of the game is in sight, and he has to keep the players steady.
Defense must be done well, but offense is equally important. The two complement each other. Defense is the support of offense, but offense cannot be played, and defense is useless no matter how good it is. So Donovan's idea is to fight back defensively. Rely on tough defense to force the opponent to make mistakes. Control the rebound, let Westbrook launch an attack to attack the inside, can not find a chance to score the ball to An Luo.
But Donovan obviously underestimated the Clippers' determination to win. Lu Wei rushed to the penalty area under Harrell's cover. And also brought Adams and An Luo into the free throw line. Gallinari flicked a shot in the left elbow, but only to create a chance for Alexander. The latter used the screen to get rid of Paul George and catch the ball from the corner.
"Huh!"
Hollow into the net!
108103, the Clippers through patient cooperation, once again approached the difference to 5 points.
There are 51 seconds left in the game. As far as the current situation is concerned, both sides have a chance to win the game.
