Vol 3 Chapter 22: Anxious

　　
　
　
　　->　->　　 Amid the boos and noise of the sky, Westbrook steadily took the ball in.
　　 7:3, the Thunder have the advantage, but the game has just begun.
　　 The Warriors are still Green holding the ball. He observed a little at the top of the arc, then divided the ball to Curry who cut in, picked the basket and scored it.
　　 Most people's impressions of Curry are focused on his three-point shooting. In fact, his ball control and breakthrough are also at the top level in the league. And his super ability to get rid of! Whether it is to get rid of with the ball or without the ball, he is one of the best players in this league.
　　 Westbrook's defense is actually good. He started defensively. In his sophomore year, Westbrook also won the Pacific Ten League's Defensive Player of the Year award and was selected to the Pacific Ten League's best defensive team. It can be seen that he has extremely high defensive talent and ability.
　　 In the first few years of NBA, I did very well. But this season, his defense has declined. He needs to do too much on the court! Otherwise, Westbrook would not be able to make Curry score a layup so easily.
　　 Get back to the subject. The Thunder continued to attack, Westbrook advanced with the ball, used Adams's cover to hit the basket, and then threw the ball into the sky. Adams, who followed, jumped high and dunked the ball into the basket.
　　 Cooperating with Adams' pick-and-roll is Westbrook's favorite tactic. The two of them have a good understanding and the success rate is very high.
　　 Come back, Curry takes the ball at the top of the arc and gives it to Green. The latter missed a layup. Westbrook, who got the rebound, directly launched a fast break and passed the ball to Sabonis while on the move. Sabonis, who got the ball, hesitated and did not come by himself, but passed the ball back to Westbrook.
　　 In fact, he can play by himself. Westbrook has attracted the Warriors' defense, and Sabonis has a chance to shoot. Unfortunately, the opportunity was wasted when he hesitated.
　　We have to rely on Westbrook himself. He received the ball, time is running out. Can only bite the bullet! He stepped past Curry, then carried Pachulia to finish the layup. Although the ball was dropped, it still fell into the net bag.
　　 11:5, Westbrook tenaciously opened the score.
　　 During the opening period, the Thunder firmly prevailed. They have an absolute advantage in the basket, constantly grabbing offensive rebounds and getting a second offense. Once lead by double digits!
　　 But the good times are not long. Halfway through the first quarter, the Thunder players made mistakes one after another, which allowed the Warriors to make quick breaks. Thompson made two consecutive three-pointers, chasing the score to only 2 points.
　　 Donovan quickly called a timeout. He knew that if players like Curry and Thompson were to shoot, it would be difficult to play!
　　 Pause back. Westbrook hit the basket one by one, facing Pachulia to score the ball. After returning, he gave Curry another big hat. The momentum of the thunder was pulled up.
　　 With Oladipo hit a three-pointer and Grant received an assist from Westbrook, the Thunder once again led by 10 points.
　　 At this time, Durant, who had been silent for most of the game, finally stood up. He succeeded in continuous strong attacks and helped the Warriors to bring the score closer again.
　　 Warriors' final attack, Durant hit a three-pointer on the right, only 1 point left. After the first quarter, the Thunder led 32-31.
　　 Anluo watched this whole section of the game on the sidelines, and had to sigh: The Warriors this season are really strong!
　　 Just like they did in the last three minutes, Curry held the ball at the top of the arc, Green cut open, Thompson and Durant were ready to go on the left and right sides. This is really unsolvable! Without double-teaming Curry, he can get rid of the defensive shot himself; with double-teaming Curry, he can also pass the ball. If you don't shrink the defense at this time, Green will make a layup; if you shrink the defense, Thompson and Durant will have to miss one. It's even less worthwhile!
　　 There are too many points to end the offense in the Warriors!
　　 Westbrook sat down on the chair, An Luo hurriedly passed the towel in his hand. It can be seen that he is a little tired. In the first quarter, he had already done everything he could and could not do, and he was only one point ahead. This is still the case when Curry didn't play very well. It is conceivable that if the Splash Brothers had all shot, how hard the Thunder game would be!
　　 "Ann, I need your help!"
　　 Westbrook understands very well that if Durant alone, he can solve it, but he will definitely not defeat the Warriors.
　　 "No problem, Russell!"
　　A person, only when he is truly powerless, will he pin his hopes on others. Anlow understood what Westbrook meant, and he had to give him hope.
　　 But it’s not easy to win the game!
　　 In the second quarter, both sides sent their own rotation lineups to play. On the Thunder side, Sabonis, Kanter and Ilyasova re-appeared, with Anlo and Oladipo in the backcourt. The Warriors left Durant on the court and continued fighting with a group of "old guys" such as Iguodala and West.
　　 As soon as he came up, Durant took the ball and assisted West for a layup, leading the score.
　　 On the Thunder side, An Luo sounded the offensive horn. He received Oladipo's pass at a 45-degree angle on the right, shook Livingston with a tentative step, and then withdrew from the left rear one step beyond the three-point line, raising his hand and shooting.
　　 "Huh!"
　　 An Luo is at Oracle Arena ~EbookFREE.me~ in the way the Warriors are most familiar with, helping the Thunder.
　　 The audience in the stands was also taken aback! The opponent, the yellow-skinned No. 8 player, made three-pointers so much like their players! Even the quasi head is the same.
　　 Next, Durant is still very strong. He shot inside and outside, scoring 7 points in a row. But the score of the two sides has not been pulled apart. Anlow made three of four shots from beyond the three-point line, and Durant's scoring efficiency was not bad at all.
　　 With 8 minutes left in the second quarter, Westbrook played again. He replaced Oladipo and partnered with Anlo. At the same time, Robertson and Adams also replaced Ilyasova and Sabonis. Kerr immediately put his main players on the court once again.
　　 Curry obviously remembered An Luo, and nodded at him as soon as he came up. This made An Luo a little surprised, but he just nodded, after all, this was on the court. To greet you, you have to wait for the end of the game.
　　 After Westbrook came up, he still behaved so positively. But this time, he had to have a better life. With An Luo's control on the outside, he doesn't need to rush into the crowd every time with an "explosive bag"!
　　 With such a top three-pointer on the perimeter, the Warriors would not dare to double-team Westbrook unscrupulously. They know the power of Curry and Thompson. Now, the Thunder also have such a player.
　　 The liberated Westbrook played even more brilliantly. Under his leadership, the Thunder made a five-to-five match with the fully-fitted Warriors. This is something that no one had expected!
