Vol 3 Chapter 41: Unfavorable situation

　　
　
　
　　->　->　　 NBA never lacks miracles. Unexpected things, then more!
　　 The Thunder, who left Los Angeles with victory, ran into a big problem at Sacramento.
　　 back-to-back matches will make many players continue to play with exhaustion. This is a safety hazard, so Donovan limited the playing time of Westbrook and Adams. Of course, this is only one aspect. Their own poor performance is the main reason for sitting on the bench.
　　 Not only Westbrook and Adams, other players, like Oladipo, Kanter, etc., are not in good shape. These are the players who played more than 20 minutes at Staples last night. They are all tired!
　　Only An Luo, his style of play should save a lot of energy. There is no problem playing two games in a row.
　　 When the game first started, the Thunder could still run.
　　 Cousins ​​was the first to encounter basketball, but was shot by Sabonis to Westbrook in the fight. The latter came over with the ball and Darren Collison posted to defend. This is an old acquaintance of Westbrook! If it weren't for this guy's injury, Westbrook might not be able to get in yet. Later, he gave the opponent a substitute for more than a year.
　　 An Luo stood up on the sidelines, thinking that he could see the confrontation between the two seniors. Unfortunately, Westbrook tonight is not so positive. He gave the ball to Sabonis, who went in, but the chance was not good, and then divided the ball to Oladipo.
　　 Oladipo scored a mid-range jumper after receiving the ball. The Thunder took the lead away.
　　 Looking back, Cousins ​​raised his hand after receiving a pass from Collison at the arc top three-point line.
　　 This action shocked An Luo! Although Donovan warned everyone before the game. But a 7-footer shoots from beyond the three-point line and the impact is not small.
　　 Cousins ​​is not that traditional center player. He has also developed the ability to shoot three-pointers while maintaining his strong internal offensive level. So far this season, his three-point shooting percentage has reached 35%. You know, Westbrook is at this level!
　　 "Huh!"
　　 Basketball hits the net. Arco Arena suddenly boiled.
　　 Cousins ​​raised his right hand, gestured an "OK" gesture, and rushed to the backcourt to defend.
　　 With Cousins’ height and wingspan, it’s really hard to guard if he pulls out to shoot a three-pointer!
　　 Thunder continued to attack. Westbrook burst into the paint area under the cover of Adams. Facing Cousins, he got up and couldn't fight. So he immediately passed the ball to Sabonis on the right. The latter faced Collison, who was much shorter than himself, and shot a jumper. Unfortunately, this ball was not scored!
　　 The rebound was taken by Cousins. Collison advanced with the ball, facing Westbrook, he did not choose to come by himself. He knew the abilities of the guy opposite. With Guy's screen, Collison moved to the right and then slid the ball to Cousins ​​in the basket. The latter steadily scored the ball against Sabonis, looking very relaxed.
　　 really can't hold it! Although Sabonis has worked hard enough. Adams patted Sabonis' ass, which should have been his business.
　　 Looking back, it was Adams' pick and roll, but this time it was Oladipo who broke through with the ball. After he rushed in, he completed the layup action against Barnes, who had made up his defense.
　　 "Beep!"
　　 Defensive foul, free throw twice.
　　 Today’s King’s restricted area, I feel like I can’t fly!
　　 Under the strong interference of the Kings fans behind the rebound, Oladipo made one of two free throws.
　　 Collison ran to the bottom line and quickly sent the ball. After Cousins ​​received the ball, he transported it to the front court. Diplomatically gave Collison at the three-point line and made a pick-and-roll to cover his breakthrough to the inside.
　　 Collison came out very fast, he shook Sabonis a European step. But Adams has retreated to the basket, the Thunder still has a layer of protection.
　　 "To suffer!"
　　As a bystander, An Luo saw Cousins ​​turning back to the top of the arc. No one was staring at him at this time, and Collison could naturally see such a large open space.
　　 saw his right hand vigorously throw the basketball round, from the basket to the top of the arc.
　　 After receiving the ball, Cousins ​​took a shot on the spot, and then took off.
　　 Westbrook, who just rushed forward at this time, had very little interference with Cousins.
　　 "Huh!"
　　 Hollow into the net!
　　 Arco Arena once again rang out with huge cheers. It seems that Cousins ​​can always arouse everyone's atmosphere.
　　 8:3, the king took the lead.
　　Although the game has just started, I can’t decide anything. But from these offenses, it can be seen that the Thunder players are not in good shape. Back-to-back matches still have a great impact on players.
　　 In the next few minutes, the game was a bit boring.
　　 The Thunder players are not in good shape, and they often shoot iron. The king's side is the real food, except for Cousins, the rest of the people did not perform too brightly. Although Collison is more active, he still chooses to pass the ball to his opponent more often. But apart from Cousins, everyone else couldn't make it!
　　 is like a peck at each other!
　　 The coaches on both sides are also the masters who can sit still!
　　 Donovan seemed to be lost in thought~EbookFREE.me~ and did not notice the situation on the court. Perhaps, back-to-back games affect more than just the players on the court. It is also a tiring thing for the head coach and other staff.
　　 Jorge, who was still the king, couldn't help but called a timeout before finally breaking the awkward situation on the court.
　　An Luo didn't know what the opposing coach said. Donovan really didn't say anything! Instead, he asked players like Westbrook and Adams how they felt physically. You know, it only took a little more than 6 minutes!
　　 But Donovan is not careful, because after a day's rest, they are back-to-back competitions again! If this were replaced by an old master, Westbrook would have been sick and unable to play.
After 　　 came back from a timeout, both sides rotated some players. Donovan is still more cautious, he sent Christon and Kanter in advance to avoid the players from overwork and injury.
　　 However, these two are more active, but they are still not as capable as Westbrook and Adams. Especially Christon is not Collison's opponent at all. Moreover, Collison finally strengthened his offense in the second half of the game.
　　In the end, the Kings, led by Cousins ​​and Collison, led their opponents to end the first quarter.
　　 19:29, the Thunder trailed the home team by 10 points.
　　 This is not the first time they have fallen behind their opponents by double digits in the first quarter. They trailed even more at Staples yesterday. But tonight is different, almost everyone is out of state. The situation is quite unfavorable for the Thunder.
