Vol 3 Chapter 63: Advance


 
 
  -> ->   On the night of December 5th, An Luo had chatted with Westbrook on the bench early. Adams was also on the bench with them. In the last quarter, the three of them only played for more than 4 minutes.
   The Pelicans are not a very strong opponent. If Davis were not strong enough, they would be a downright weak team. In addition to Davis, there is only one Holiday in the team, which is considered to have some strength. In their starting lineup, Etowan Moore, Solomon Hill and Omo Asik, An Luo has never heard of it! On the bench, I don't even know it!
   Throughout the game, the Pelicans were beaten by the Thunder. They did not organize a decent counterattack.
   Of course, this game is not about the outcome of the two teams. Anthony Davis has played very well this season, and his 30+10 stats are in hand. So far, he leads the league in scoring with an average of 31.6 points per game. Beat the crowd! However, the Pelicans' lineup is too poor to give him much help. This also made him laughed by the fans as the leader of the league, the deputy leader is another outstanding big man, Sacramento's Cousins.
   Westbrook gradually dropped from the scoring list. After all, the scoring is shared by Anluo and Oladipo. He only needs to organize the team's offense well and stand up at critical moments. So on the mvp list, his top position is as stable as Mount Tai!
   An average of 30+10 per game and a triple-double per game. This game was supposed to be a match between Westbrook and the thick eyebrows, but it was a bit anticlimactic.
   Davis is still very active on the court and the offense is very strong. In the first quarter, he shot inside and out, scoring 14 and 5 rebounds. Playing less than 6 minutes in the second quarter, there were also 7 points, 4 rebounds and 2 blocks.
   Compared with the radiance of thick eyebrows, Westbrook is much lower-key. As the schedule continues to deepen, Westbrook's play style is constantly changing. He usually finds his teammates first, and organizes the entire team's offense as the first. Rarely carry the team forward on their own. I have to say that the days with helpers are easy.
   He took 6 shots in the first half and hit 4 of them, all closer to the basket. Compared with the beginning of the season, Westbrook is very cautious in choosing the number of shots and timing of shots. Without a good opportunity, he would not rush to make a move. So don't look at him now averaging less than 27 points per game, but his 53.2% shooting percentage is quite high!
   As the media said, Westbrook is playing the best season of his career.
   Throughout the first half, in the 12 minutes of the first quarter, the Pelicans relied on the excellent performance of Davis and Holiday and barely managed to tie the Thunder. But in the second quarter, the gap came out as soon as both sides came on the bench!
   Anluo and Kanter, inside and outside, directly broke the Pelicans' second team! Especially Anluo's four three-pointers from the perimeter, it was too ruthless! Under his leadership, the Thunder played a wave of 16:0 rhythm and stopped the opponent. That is, after this offensive, the Pelicans have never been able to narrow the points difference to single digits.
   In the second half, with a lead of more than 20 points, Donovan will give more players to the bench. After all, it's a back-to-back game. If these main players can rest, take more rest. Moreover, the team must have enough motivation, these substitute players will play a large enough role. Letting them play more games is also a better exercise.
   Only An Luo is not here! Donovan didn't see him as a substitute player! In addition to not being a starter, he spends no less time playing games every night than Oladipo and Adams. And he is always on the court at critical moments of the game. Judging from the number of shots, he, Oladipo and Westbrook are basically the same now, all around 15 times.
  In the end, the Thunder defeated the visiting New Orleans Pelicans 112:95 on their home court, winning five straight. This is their second longest winning streak this season! In the next opponent, there was some stubbornness. Houston, Boston, Portland, these guys are not general. It is really difficult for the Thunder to get good results in December!
   On the night of the 6th, the Thunder visited Atlanta to challenge the Eastern Conference Hawks.
   The current Eagles are not the same Eagles that competed with LeBron James in previous seasons! Before they met the Thunder, they had already suffered a six-game losing streak! Compared with the fiery Thunder, it's a far cry.
   This game, although the Thunder is away, is the second back-to-back game. But they still continued their fiery state. Although Korver showed great power in the second quarter and hit three-pointers consecutively, the Eagles saw the hope of ending the losing streak. But that was just a flash in the pan. In the third quarter, on the basis of the original lead by 6 points, Donovan's main force came out. They spent a period of time and ended the game!
   In this section, the eagle was completely beaten.
   When Westbrook can hit three of four on three-pointers, it's hard for the Thunder to lose!
   They made 10 three-pointers in the third quarter! Refresh the record of team history~EbookFREE.me~ Among them, Westbrook has 3 records, Anlow 4 records, Oladipo 2 records, Kanter 1 record. With the addition of mid-range and free throws, the Thunder scored a total of 45 points in this quarter! The powerful offensive firepower is staggering.
   Of course this has something to do with the Hawks' defense. Although they had three consecutive dpoy Howard in their team, the sparks of the past two years are no longer the peak of courage. The deterrence on the defensive end has diminished a lot. However, even if it is the spark of the peak, it is estimated that this abnormal thunder will not be able to stop!
   In fact, even Thunder himself was surprised. You know, in this game, they don't have the idea of ​​winning the game entirely by shooting three points! It is completely good in the hand, and the leading side, the play is relatively relaxed.
   Until after the game, Donovan shook his head in front of reporters: I finally realized the feeling of Steve and Mike standing on the sidelines watching his players play. To be honest, it feels really good!
   With 45:15 in the third quarter, the Thunder pulled the point difference to more than 20 in one fell swoop. Therefore, throughout the fourth quarter, Westbrook and Anlor, Audi, Adams and other major players almost never played. The Hawks seemed to be knocked out in the third quarter. Although the main force was all on in the last quarter, they could not recover the score.
  In the end, the Thunder defeated the Hawks 112:99 in the away game and scored six consecutive victories.
   After another back-to-back game was over, all the Thunder generals were relieved. Although everyone is tired, as long as you win, it's worth it!
