Vol 3 Chapter 49: Back to Oklahoma City

No one expected the Nuggets to let Mudiay execute this offense. You know, in the previous game, this guy's three-pointer was not accurate. This is called surprise! It was a clever trick to let Chandler pull out to cover Mudiay. Mike Malone defeated Donovan in this round.
49 seconds left in the game. The Thunder are ready to complete their next attack in about 15 seconds. Even if the Nuggets run out of time on their next offense, they still have enough time to complete an offense.
After Adams sent the ball to Westbrook, he made a pick-and-roll for him and screened the opponent and brought the ball to the frontcourt. The Nuggets began to press all over, they must put pressure on the Thunder. But after seeing the poor results, Mudiay quickly returned to his defensive position. This tactic is very easy for the opponent to pass the ball and score easily. Especially when facing a point guard of Westbrook's level, it is easier to be seized by the opponent.
The Nuggets finally put out a 2-3 zone defense. With this defensive formation, both Anlo and Oladipo can be well restricted. Whoever holds the ball will be double-teamed by two people at that moment. An Luo dislikes this defensive formation very much. For a shooter-type scorer like him, being able to shoot is not the most terrifying, but not being able to shoot is the most terrifying!
Westbrook also understood, so he was still prepared to come by himself. He first controlled the time on the spot, then took the ball back and made a cross step. Taking advantage of Nelson's delay in returning, he squeezed his shoulders and squeezed directly. Then he jumped high, raised his right hand, and made a small throw.
A goal that was originally tenable, but knocked on the edge of the basket. The group of people who stood up on the Thunder bench, at this time, were like ducks with their heads lifted, and fell silent for a moment. They were going to cheer for Westbrook.
When the basketball fell, Adams made up, but didn't make it.
After falling again, Adams did not make up, but slapped the basketball beyond the three-point line. Oladipo received the ball, saw no one in front of him, and raised his hand to make a three-pointer.
Unfortunately, I still didn't enter!
In fact, he was too hasty about this ball! In fact, you can control the rhythm. Then Nurkic did not miss any more, he finally grabbed the rebound. Seeing that the Thunder players were going to be tough, Mike Malone quickly called a timeout.
This is their last timeout, but it doesn't matter. Anyway, there is only time for the last attack.
For the Nuggets, there are actually not many choices. Either grab time to make a two-pointer, then play foul tactics, and place hopes on the opponent's free throw. Either fight for three points, have a good time! If you enter, you will play overtime, if you don’t, you will end.
In the end, the Nuggets chose to shoot three points!
Mike Malone is also a very cautious person. It seemed risky, but in the end it left a way out for myself.
Nelson gave the ball to Chandler, who caught the ball with a dribble, and made a move with Faried's screen. The Thunder were prepared long ago, and as soon as Faried came out, Robertson was ready to change defense.
Facing Robertson, Chandler has no advantage! He tried, trying to shake the opponent up and commit a foul. It's a pity that Robertson didn't take that set, and he stubbornly withstood Chandler's bottom plate.
In desperation, Chandler could only hand the ball to Nurkic inside. But this is only a slow-down strategy, so much time has been consumed, and it doesn't make much sense to score two points.
Nurkic knew what to do. In fact, he couldn't help but not understand, Mike Malone stretched out his hands on the sidelines, shouting while gestures. If he still doesn't understand, Jokic will be the starting center for the next game.
He watched for a while and immediately passed the ball to the left corner. It turned out that Faried moved to the left elbow after covering Chandler and helped Mudiah block Oladipo.
The ball is here! Mudiay took the ball and shot. In fact, An Luo had already made up at this time. He raised his right hand and tried his best to interfere with the opponent's shooting. However, when the ball came to Mudiay's hands, time was running out. Can't tolerate him thinking about anything, he must vote!
After time Mudiae throws the ball out, it's over. Everyone stared at the orange ball intently, and didn't dare to blink their eyes. As if you missed the world in the blink of an eye!
"Huh!"
The goal is scored!
After a while of silence, the Pepsi Center instantly turned into a sea of ​​joy. All Denver people are boiling!
Mudiay was chased by his teammates, but it seemed that he enjoyed the treatment very much.
He is also worthy of the Nuggets players doing this to him. Saved the team with his own strength, he is simply a superhero.
An Luo shook his head in disbelief. Who would have thought that Mudiay, who had made 1 of 6 shots before, would make two three-pointers at a critical moment to lift the team back from the abyss.
The game entered the overtime period~EbookFREE.me~ This was the first time An Luo encountered overtime in the NBA. However, for the Thunder, it is really a very bad thing. Back-to-back is already tired enough, but it's overtime! It hardly makes people live.
Soon, the game continued and the fighting rekindled.
Donovan is still the same lineup, and the opposite Nuggets replaced Murray. When Westbrook saw that this guy was coming again, he immediately got excited.
Although the Nuggets relied on Mudiay's three-pointer at the buzzer to drag the game into overtime, they are still a bit worse in terms of strength. With Anluo and Oladipo hitting a three-pointer, the Thunder once again led the score to 6 points. It seems that everything is back a few minutes ago. But whether it is Anlow, Westbrook, or even other players in the Thunder, they will not let that happen to him again.
Mudiay did not continue the touch he had a few minutes ago. When he hit a three-pointer once again, was grabbed a rebound by the Thunder and seized the opportunity to counterattack, the difference between the two sides was opened.
Facts have proved that the young Nuggets are really not an opponent of the Thunder. Mudiay can only be a hero once, not forever.
In the end, the Thunder defeated the Denver Nuggets 120:112 in an away game for 53 minutes. Avoided the second losing streak this season.
After the game, Westbrook and An Luo once again fell into the circle of reporters. Although Anluo disliked dealing with the media more and more, he had to make false claims. I hate it, it's better not to offend these people. Fortunately, as the winner, An Luo still has to be a lot easier facing reporters.
After finishing the Denver game, everyone left the Pepsi Center and went straight back to the hotel. The game tonight is very tired, but tomorrow will be even more tired. So we must rest well. They don't want to go back to home and suffer a big defeat.
