Vol 3 Chapter 513: Fatal block

An Luo stood near the free throw line, ready to rush out to catch the ball. In accordance with Donovan's last reminder, they must quickly make a three-pointer, then defend against the Raptors' offense, and then make a three-pointer, drag the game into overtime, and then fight for victory. Although time is tight, An Luo is not nervous. After all, these things are what he is good at.
"Beep..."
When the whistle sounded, Adams threw the ball directly from Gasol into the arena. At the same time, under the cover of Grant and Paul George, Anlor rushed from the top of the arc to the right forty-five degrees along the three-point line. At that moment, the Raptors who were originally behind Anluo fell out of the team under successive picks and rolls.
An Luo had been prepared for a long time. After receiving the ball, he jumped forward and got close to the three-point line. Although Siakam rushed over, it was a little late. In fact, he can actually give An Luo enough interference in the first place. But Anluo's three-point shooting fouls made him hesitate. A scorer who can make fouls skillfully and shoot accurately is the most troublesome for defenders. Just like Harden, as long as he holds the ball, no matter who defends, there are many concerns in his heart.
"Huh..."
The goal is scored! An Luo nodded, the rhythm of this shot was very good. But he was not particularly excited, let alone any gesture of celebration, and quickly returned to the defensive position after high-fiving Westbrook. After all, only one-third of the task was completed!
The Chesapeake Energy Arena fans are very happy! At the critical moment, their players stood up and scored a priceless ball. Even if such a game is lost, the fans can still accept it. After all, the players have not given up and have been trying to win. In many cases, basketball brings people not only the joy of victory, but also the spirit of never giving up. Fans can feel that spirit and be inspired to live and work harder. This is the charm of basketball.
Donovan applauded An Luo from the sidelines, but his face was still very serious. He never worried that An Luo would miss that kind of ball, and he has developed enough confidence in the past few years. But if you want to reach the target, the next defense will be a more difficult challenge.
This time the attack took only 3 seconds. There are 26 seconds left in the game. Even if the Raptors run out of time, they have a chance to vote. But the premise is that the Raptors cannot score. Once the Raptors finished this offense, the Thunder lost the game.
Lowry controlled the time in front of the center line. They are now holding a three-point lead and don't need to be so anxious to complete this offense. In contrast, exhausting all offensive time is more important. Oklahoma City players are all focused and ready. Their defensive line received the three-point line. At this time, they must defend the inside line that is easier to score.
As time passed bit by bit, the atmosphere on the court became more and more tense. Even An Luo felt that his heart was beating rapidly as Lowry dribbled the ball faster and faster. With 10 seconds left, Lowry finally moved. He rushed into the free throw line under the cover of Gasol. Although he briefly got rid of the defense, he did not successfully end the offense. The basketball was passed to Leonard, who was also approaching the basket. At this moment, Grant and Adams moved at the same time. They and Paul George double-teamed Leonard in an instant.
If Leonard has any shortcomings, his ability to double-team the ball is indeed relatively poor. After confirming that he could not complete the offense, Leonard decisively passed the ball to Siakam, who was now empty of the baseline.
At this moment, Westbrook, who was originally at the basket, had already started and was rushing toward Siakam's position. As if it had been negotiated, Westbrook jumped high and broke the ball.
Leonard made a mistake! The flying basketball is like passing directly into Westbrook's arms. He gave the Thunder a chance to tie the score at the last minute.
Westbrook did not rush out with the ball. Too much possession at this time can easily fall into the opponent's encirclement. He threw the basketball to Adams who was standing at the free throw line, and then he broke free from the crowd and ran towards the other side of the court. Adams and Westbrook cooperated perfectly. After receiving the ball, he threw it forward, just in front of Westbrook who rushed to the center line. The latter caught the ball again and rushed to the three-point line in two steps.
Siakam blocked Westbrook for the first time, blocking his breakthrough route. But Westbrook accelerated in a disguised form and rushed from the left.
When Westbrook burst in ~EbookFREE.me~ Siakam immediately gave up chasing. Now they are leading by 3 points and only need to defend the Thunder's three-pointer. Now that Westbrook has rushed into the post with the ball, let him play. Even if Westbrook can score this goal, he can't tie the score. There is not much time left in the game. For the winner, there is no difference between winning by 1 point and winning by 3 points.
Just when everyone thought Westbrook would make a layup, he suddenly turned his horse's head and rushed to the left bottom corner. At this time, the Raptors rushed to Westbrook with Lowry and Danny Green on the left elbow. But Westbrook is just a fake, and it is An Luo who is really responsible for the last shot.
Just before Danny Green and Lowry completely sealed off the space around Westbrook, he passed the ball to An Luo who turned back to a 45-degree angle on the left. The latter is already ready to take the shot, and shoots after receiving the ball, very simply.
The moment he put the ball out, a pair of huge palms slapped the basketball.
"It's over!"
Seeing that scene, all the Thunder people were desperate. At the moment An Luo received the ball, Leonard, who was stuck with Paul George at the top of the arc, rushed towards An Luo. Time is running out, and An Luo can't pass the ball anymore.
In fact, An Luo's position is really good. He believed so much in his shooting speed that he completely ignored the threats from his surroundings. Furthermore, Leonard jumped up from behind An Luo.
The basketball was slapped to the floor by Leonard, Westbrook, Danny Green and others suddenly messed up, they all wanted to control the ball. Westbrook eventually grabbed the basketball, but unfortunately, the time on the timer went to zero! The referee on the court also blew the whistle at the end of the game.
