Vol 3 Chapter 538: Everyone is doing their best


?   It is indeed an incredible thing to pin the hope of winning the championship on a third-year player. Throughout the history of the NBA, there are only a handful of players who can be entrusted with this important task during their rookie contract.
   Of course, An Luo is still a bit worse than those guys. Even if he compares his scoring ability, he is not particularly outstanding. However, he has one ability that is quite outstanding. That is the efficiency of scoring, especially the efficiency of scoring outside the three-point line. An Luo said second, I am afraid no one would dare to say first.
   In the current situation of the Thunder, Westbrook's breakthrough is no longer able to hit the explosive scoring wave in the remaining time. Paul George does have that ability, but his condition is not good. After being restrained by Leonard for several consecutive games, he seems to have lost the momentum of the "only general Joe" in the regular season.
When Westbrook heard Donovan’s words, he was taken aback, and finally nodded, and reached out to pat An Luo’s arm, and said,
Ann, this time I’m up to you! I’ll pass the ball to you, we All people will help you."
   Adams stretched out his hand and rubbed An Luo's head, then pointed to all the audience in the Chesapeake Energy Arena and said, "Let go and do it! Man. They will cheer!"
   An Luo didn't have much thoughts at first. Donovan will assign him some tasks in every game, and tonight is no different. But after Westbrook and Adams finished talking, he felt that everything became different. This is a kind of trust, from the head coach Donovan to every player on the team, the trust in him. Of course, this is also a responsibility, the responsibility of the Thunder, the responsibility of the entire Oklahoma fans. Until then, this has always been something Westbrook has to undertake.
   However, An Luo is confident. He just has to throw all those in. Such things are indeed what he is good at. This has always been what he did with the Thunder.
   came back from a timeout, Westbrook received the sideline ball from Adams, circled the ball from behind, easily dodged Lowry who was forced to come up, and then rushed directly to the free throw line. At this time, the Raptors' defense quickly contracted toward the basket. Except for Danny Green and Leonard, the other three players almost all shrank to the free throw line.
   Westbrook seemed to be preparing to complete the layup on his own. He shook Siakam a European step and squeezed from the left side of the opponent to the basket. Little Gasol straightened out his chest and put his hands up. At this time, Grant and Adams moved. Adams first pulled to the left elbow to make a screen for Paul George, who used this to throw off Leonard, who had been following him, and ran beyond the three-point line to prepare to catch the ball. At this time, Danny Green, who originally defended Anlow, became the closest defender to Paul George. When Westbrook passed the ball from the basket to Paul George, Danny Green rushed forward decisively. At this time, he couldn't take care of An Luo. After all, Paul George's scoring ability is also very strong, especially this kind of open three-pointers. Just after Danny Green pounced over, Leonard switched to Anlo for the first time. But before he got close to An Luo, Adams blocked him halfway straight.
   The tactics arranged by Donovan are completed! Westbrook broke through with the ball, attracting the Raptors' defense to retract. Paul George used the screen to run to the outside line to catch the ball, leading Danny Green away. But all of this is a suspicious game designed to create opportunities for An Luo.
   Just after Danny Green approached Paul George, Paul George immediately passed the ball to Anlow, who had reached the top of the arc. The latter was already prepared, set up the turret, and blasted the ball directly into the basket.
   Thunder is still 5 points away!
   After Anlo and Paul George slapped a hand hard in the process of retreating, they immediately plunged into the defense. This three-pointer gave the Thunder a hope, but the road is still long. The next defense is crucial.
   Westbrook has been staring at Lowry from the backcourt, keeping a positional distance along the way, and constantly harassing the opponent's dribble. Do everything possible to make the opponent's offense not smooth, and don't miss every opportunity that may make the opponent mistake. However, Lowry is also a veteran of the league. He is slightly sideways, using his body to protect the basketball, and taking the ball over the center line calmly.
   Westbrook did not dare to be too aggressive. The more critical the moment, the less you can panic. This is something Donovan told him in particular. Everyone knows that Westbrook likes to take risks when defensive, and often takes gambling steals, but often allows the opponent to seize the opportunity to break through the defense. This time, he was very cautious.
   Time passed quickly. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com With 8 seconds left in this attack, Lowry moved. With the cover of Gasol, he successfully broke into the inside. But facing Adams, he did not insist. At this point, there is no need for Lowry to force a layup. Siakam has thrown away Grant and cut from the right side of the three-point line to the basket. Lowry immediately passed the ball. He knew that as long as Siakam flew up, no one could stop it.
  Siakam did fly after receiving the ball. But what awaits him is not the effective whistle of a goal, but an offensive foul.
   It turned out that Westbrook did not catch up after being blocked by Gasol. Instead, Gasol stuck at the top of the arc. The Raptors are likely to let Gasol shoot a three-pointer. After all, in this game, Gasol has already made 3 three-pointers at the top of the arc. But when he saw the scene where Leonardella went to the right to cover Siakam, he immediately understood what the opponent was thinking. Ever since, he took another risk. Give up Gasol directly, rush to the basket and leaning on the bottom line, and stand in place in advance. Afterwards, everything was the same as he thought, and Siakam hit his chest directly.
   When the referee made an offensive foul gesture, Westbrook, who was hit by Siakam and slid a long way out, slapped the floor hard, and then immediately turned over and got ready to catch the ball.
   At the same time, Donovan clapped his hands fiercely from the sidelines. He knows what it means to defend this time! Next, the Thunder have the opportunity to continue to close the score. As long as the goal is scored, the score of both sides is reduced to less than one goal. The offense and one defense of Anlow and Westbrook makes everything possible.
