Vol 3 Chapter 69: Catch up

During the intermission, the Thunder players quickly returned to the locker room. They are now very concerned about Oladipo's injury. To be honest, in the NBA, player injuries are very common. After all, injuries are part of the game. But when it really happened to me, it was still difficult to accept.
Oladipo must be very depressed. But the good news is that he was not seriously injured this time, and it will not affect his future development. But if he injured his wrist, he would definitely miss some games.
In addition to the players, a group of reporters have been around the locker room. It seems that everyone is paying attention to this matter.
After confirming the injury, everyone was relieved. So, now is to solve the problem of the game. In the first half, the opponent had no temper at all. If you don't respond, it's definitely not the style of the Thunder.
An Luo needs to take on more responsibilities, and he must give Westbrook enough help. In the current staffing, without a sharp breakthrough Oladipo, Westbrook will definitely increase the intensity of the play to the basket. At this time, An Luo needs to give enough threat from the outside. Involve the opponent's defense.
At the beginning of the second half, Donovan didn't let the bench play half a quarter as before. He directly sent Westbrook, Adams and other players here. Of course, An Luo is still the same as before, appearing at the beginning of the third quarter.
Once up, the Celtics opened up on the offensive end.
Horford hit a three-pointer, then Westbrook was blocked by Smart for a layup, Horford grabbed the rebound and assisted Bradley for a long three-pointer. Pulled the score to 16 in one go!
Donovan held his hands and stood on the sidelines. When Westbrook pushed forward with the ball, he quickly said a few words to him. An Luo didn't hear too clearly beside him, but it should be to remind Westbrook that to control the rhythm, first stabilize the position. Less than a minute after the start of the second half, Donovan had no idea of ​​a timeout.
"Ann, when I play in, you must try to run out of the open space! I will pass the ball to you."
Westbrook asked An Luo to come over to cover himself. He actually wanted to remind An Luo. In fact, during the intermission, Donovan's tactic for Anro was to swim around the three-point line, pass the ball to his hand and take a decisive shot. Because of his position at the back, he must also shoulder the defensive task of the opponent's quick counterattack.
He actually always remembered what he should do.
There was a hand-to-hand pass with Westbrook, and Anlo passed the basketball back to the opponent. He began to shuttle back and forth between a few of his favorite spots. Bradley has followed him all the time, and the other side also understands that this Chinese player who doesn't look very strong has so much energy in his body.
When it comes to pick-and-rolls, Adams still gives Westbrook a place. He is big enough to block the defender tightly, giving Westbrook enough room to rush inside. Faced with Horford and Smart again, Westbrook didn't have the upper hand. He can clearly be anxious, this brawny man who replaced Thomas as the starting number one has such incredible physical fitness.
He threw the ball out of the three-point line like long eyes behind his head. Look at the direction of the ball, there is no Thunder player there. But this will definitely not be a mistake. An Luo used the pick and roll of his teammates to speed up and get rid of Bradley. Before he took two steps, the basketball had flown into his own hands.
He caught the ball very easily! Easy to vote! He took a step forward by inertia, straightened his body and faced the basket. Pull up and shoot the basketball. Bradley, who squeezed Sabonis to catch up, could only raise his right hand for the final struggle, hoping to interfere with An Luo's shooting. He can actually be more powerful, but it is also easy to be fouled by the referee. When you encounter a player with a strong fouling ability, you can take the opportunity to get to the free throw line.
Hit this three-pointer and An Luo scored in double figures. Since that four-game losing streak, he has not scored less than 15 points. It seems that this game, the same will not.
In the process of returning to defense, Anlow and Westbrook high-five in the middle circle to celebrate.
"Ann, good job!"
"Russell, you passed the ball so well!"
This ball, Westbrook is indeed a good pass! To calculate by 10 points, Westbrook must score at least 5 points! He almost attracted half of the defensive attention. You know, in the second quarter, Anro was quickly double-teamed by Bradley and Crowder several times and lost the phone meeting.
"Defence!"
"Defence!"
...
The fans at home chanted in unison, led by the DJ. While cheering for his own players, it is actually a reminder. To win the game, not only to score goals, but to defend well.
Anlow pressed against Bradley. This guy has greatly improved his three-point shooting ability this season. He hit an ultra-long three-pointer directly on An Luo's face before. He dare not care about it now!
Smart advances with the ball. His body is very strong, but Westbrook is not at all in the fight. But Westbrook would not be as aggressive as him. He held the opponent while putting it to the left. Smart is not a player who likes to break from the left.
When Smart's position was deep, Adams immediately doubled over. In a hurry, he could only pass the ball to Bradley on the right elbow. But the quality of this pass is very poor, Bradley's position is not good ~ EbookFREE.me ~ An Luo has been stuck between him and Smart. When the ball flew over, An Luo didn't take much effort and broke off.
Westbrook is like an off-string sharp arrow, rushing to his frontcourt. He had to step on the accelerator in the mailbox, because when he started, An Luo had already thrown the ball over.
Westbrook caught the ball one step from the free throw line. The pass was a bit poor, and it was Westbrook that was at a loss, otherwise the chance of a counterattack was wasted.
Westbrook got the ball directly into the sky. He stretched his body in the air, held the ball high in his right hand, and dunked the ball into the basket.
After dunking, Westbrook squeezed his fists with both hands and roared toward the auditorium. Nearly 20,000 people at the Chesapeake Energy Arena also gave a huge response, chanting "MVP" in unison. The momentum of the home court came up all at once.
Two consecutive offenses came from Westbrook and Anlow. One assist, one goal, one goal. The cooperation between them is becoming more and more tacit, and the lethality is getting stronger and stronger.
With Westbrook's dunk, the Thunder also officially started to chase points.
