Vol 3 Chapter 533: Bad start

On June 18th, the seventh game of the Thunder and Raptors finals came as scheduled.
On this night, almost all NBA fans focused their attention on this game. After all, as the last game of the season, all the results will be settled after this game.
People are full of expectations! No matter what the performance of the two sides in the previous six games, this is a new beginning. No matter how people guess, analyze, or judge before the game, as long as the initial whistle is blown by the referee, everything is unknown.
The Thunder's status is adjusted pretty well. In the two days after returning from Toronto to Oklahoma, the Thunder players stayed together. During this period, An Luo only went home once, and returned to the training hall again after changing his clothes. Of course, there is no high-intensity training. Everyone just got together and did some lighter training. In fact, the Thunder do not lack the strength to win the game, nor the players who can stand up to win the game. Their biggest problem is their state. Everyone is sweating in the training hall, and it seems that they have no intention of paying attention to the bad things in the outside world. At least in Anluo's view, the impact on the Thunder team is not significant.
On the night before the game, Westbrook gave all the players a set of very fashionable customized suits. It is said that this is the advice Westbrook gave to LeBron James when he was on the phone. In many cases, the atmosphere in the dressing room must be adjusted by someone standing up. This suit customized by Westbrook is of great value. Even if the players on the Thunder team are very wealthy, it is definitely a very important gift. But it is worth it if you can twist the players into a rope.
Ever since, in the player passage of the Chesapeake Energy Arena, a group of guys in suits and shoes appeared. A black suit, bright leather shoes, and a pair of sunglasses are like copy and paste from the Matrix. Of course, a trench coat is missing. However, in An Luo's eyes, their group is more like a group of bodyguards.
Xuankuo is Xuankuo, but if you lose this game, the media reports will be wonderful tomorrow!
If it is changed to other times, Westbrook may prefer to make headlines because of his outfit. But if he makes headlines because of losing, no matter how fashionable he is, he is not willing to show the limelight.
After changing the equipment, An Luo came to the court and started the warm-up training before the game. At this time, fans began to arrive at the arena one after another. On the seat, the staff has already prepared the dark blue T-shirt that belongs to the city. Those who come will greet the Thunder players loudly, and An Luo and others will occasionally wave their hands in response. After greeting, they put on T-shirts and waited for the start of the game.
Soon, some essential programs before the game began. An Luo and others also returned to the locker room to change into jerseys and equipment for the game. When the live host of the Chesapeake Energy Arena called out Westbrook's name, all the Thunder players put their shoulders on each other and formed a circle near the free throw line. At the same time, the very familiar slogan resounded again throughout the arena:
"OKC!"
"OKC!"
"OKC!"
...
The uniform sound, wave after wave, shakes the sky. Whenever the Thunder players step onto the Chesapeake Energy Arena, fans will not be stingy with their voices.
"We are the championship!"
"We are the championship!"
"For OKC!"
"For OKC!"
...
In the slogans that came and went, Westbrook led the Thunder players also yelled. As a star, he must drive the momentum of the players.
"Beep..."
Adams and Gasol jumped high, and their two big white hands patted the basketball.
"Snapped!"
The older Gasol won the faceoff. With a twist of his wrist, he hit the ball on the floor. Siakam's eyesight was quick and he was ahead of Paul George and handed the ball to Lowry on the other side of the center line. The latter took the ball directly to the basket, facing Grant's defense, a drawbar backhanded the ball into the basket.
2:0
The Raptors in the away game took the lead.
Looking back, Westbrook broke through with the ball. The Raptors still adhered to the defensive strategy of the first two games, double-teaming the ball holders within the free throw line. Westbrook did not pass the ball. With Gasol in front of him and Lowry in the back, he directly stopped the ball and dropped the ball.
"boom!"
Westbrook doesn't feel very good. The first attack is not good, and the Thunder can only focus on the defensive end.
Lowry slid the ball to Gasol at the top of the arc. In the previous few games, Gasol was closer to the three-point line. It is very rare to see him attacking in the low post. UU reading www.uukanshu. com
Adams suffocated his breath against the little Gasol, but after two hard hits, the little Gasol turned around and hooked the ball. As a traditional big man who has not yet transformed himself, Gasol's low-post attack ability is still very good.
The Raptors scored another goal and the score became 4:0.
Westbrook passed the ball to An Luo on the outside after the breakthrough. The latter just ran out of the open space under Grant's cover. Although Danny Green didn't completely get rid of Danny Green, it was still delayed for Danny Green to bypass Grant. After An Luo received the ball, he just pulled up and shot.
But Anlow, like Westbrook, still failed to break the deadlock. Anlo took the ball and shot, but Danny Green stretched his hand directly to his face, causing him a lot of interference.
Siakam handed the grabbed rebound to Lowry, who immediately launched a counterattack after receiving the ball. His speed was very fast and he was close to the three-point line in the blink of an eye. Westbrook was faster, he blocked directly half a meter within the three-point line to prevent Lowry from breaking through.
What he didn't expect was that Lowry pulled out his hand just fifty centimeters from the top of the arc. Lowry's action shocked Westbrook, you know, since entering the finals, Lowry's three-pointer has become a decoration. No matter the position is good or not, he always shoots and doesn't make it.
However, this goal was scored!
7:0
The Raptors launched their most violent offense towards the defending champion from the start. Of course, they have made good gains. A very perfect start was played.
However, the voice of the Chesapeake Energy Arena gradually decreased. No one wants to see such a situation, which is very different from the game they are looking forward to, and there is an uneasy feeling in everyone's heart.
