Vol 3 Chapter 70: invincible position

For the next 10 minutes, Anlow and Westbrook have been on the court. While constantly looking for opportunities to score, they also actively used their defense to suppress the fiery state of the Celtics at the beginning of the second half.
Throughout the third quarter, the two sides played a 33:25. The Thunder's tenacity allowed them to close the score to only 2 points. They have a chance to overtake, but Horford stood up at a critical time and continued to score inside. Keep the lead for the Celtics.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the main players on both sides continued to rest off the court. After some contests in the third quarter, these players are still very tired. To ensure that the final battle is to play their due strength, the players' physical strength must be relatively abundant.
However, both sides' benches are on the field with tasks. The Celtics must maintain their advantage and expand as much as possible; the Thunder will tie the score and look for opportunities to overtake. Therefore, the excitement of the game in these few minutes is not worse than when the main player is on the court.
Once on the court, the Thunder took the lead.
Kriston first intercepted Rozier, counter-attacked and made two free throws to help the Thunder tie the score. When Jaylen Brown scored a layup and regained the lead, he hit a three-pointer at the top of the arc and overtook again. Afterwards, Jaylen Browne made three consecutive shots to help the Celtics regain the lead, and suddenly opened the point difference to 7 points.
Westbrook could not sit still at this time. He got up from his seat, then came to Donovan's body and told the opponent that he was ready to play.
"Russell, I will let you play to end this game. But not now. All you need to do now is rest. You are very tired tonight. Trust your teammates, they can handle it."
Donovan didn't let Westbrook play. Today's game was very difficult. Although playing time was no more than a few minutes than other games, Westbrook was playing against Smart throughout the game. He is really tired.
Fortunately, Ilyasova hit a three-pointer from the outside to help the Thunder stabilize the position.
An Luo's attention is more often on Jaylen Brown. The day of this flower show is far less moisturized than myself. Although it is also a substitute for playing, Jaylen Brown doesn't get much playing time. In the Celtics, there is no shortage of players of his type, and the competition is very fierce in this kind of all-people team. Fortunately, he played very well today. Especially at this moment, I have scored 10 points in a row!
With Rozier hitting a mid-range, the Celtics once again overtake the score.
87:86, 6 minutes and 18 seconds left in the game.
In this dead ball time, Donovan sent his main players on the field. Immediately, Stevenson also made his trump card. The two sides are about to start the final contest.
Westbrook patted his hands vigorously, then grabbed the rolling basketball from the floor. He dribbled twice, then flicked one shot to the left, followed the gap on Smart's right and dashed across the three-point line. He played very resolutely, and Crowder, who came to the defense, was a jumper.
The basketball hit the net and the Thunder blew the horn of total offense.
Later, Bradley used Claude's screen to get rid of Anlow's defense and responded with a long two points. For this victory, they also did not want to let it out.
Adams received Westbrook's lob on the inside and played equally determined. Horford, who was facing him, changed defense when Adams pulled out to give Westbrook a pick and roll. Now Claude, who fouled his official body for 5 fouls, although the opponent is very strong, his height and tonnage are not Adams's level.
When Adams moved, his body suddenly exerted strength, and Claude still couldn't bear it. In the end, he turned around easily, got short, got under Crowder's arm and scored the ball. Crowder tried to defend but was still scored by the opponent.
Moreover, the referee's whistle sounded immediately.
Claude defensive foul, an additional penalty!
After this foul, Claude is about to say goodbye to the game. He was a little confused and didn't know where he fouled. But the referee did not listen to his excuse. Stick to your own punishment.
Adams made the ball steadily.
89:91, the score is still biting.
Next, the Celtics showed their very tough side. After Horford forced a layup and scored a goal under Adams and Kanter's double-team, Bradley also steals Westbrook and assists Smart to make a dunk. In an instant, he took the advantage in his own hands.
The Thunder did not show weakness. Westbrook's mistake gave the opponent a chance, so he had to find it himself. He didn't call for cover this time, but suddenly accelerated and passed Smart directly. Then, facing Olynik, who replaced Crowder on the field, he used Shammgod he was most familiar with to score the ball.
The whole process was sparkling.
Chesapeake Energy Arena burst into a burst of enthusiastic cheers. An Luo could not help but shook his head. This is not the first time Westbrook has seen this offense, but he will be surprised every time. The individual breakthrough ability of this league's top guard is really both handsome and effective.
You know, these things, An Luo is very envious. Although he could own it immediately, the cost was too great for his life to bear.
Until 39 seconds left in the game, the Celtics once again scored a two-pointer. The two sides drew 98.
Westbrook quickly pushed past the center line ~EbookFREE.me~ and then went inside. He wants time to score a goal, and even if the opponent also scores later, they still have time to attack. After he rushed in, the Celtics suddenly shrank three people inside. But Westbrook did not force it, but distributed the ball to the outside.
Bradley knew it was going to be bad when Anlow received a pass from Westbrook at the top of the arc. He didn't care about so much, so he jumped out. But An Luo moved faster than him and completed the shot without waiting for the opponent to approach.
"Huh!"
This ball is crucial. After the goal was scored, Westbrook rushed over and collided with An Luo!
The Celtics should be embarrassed now.
Stevenson called a timeout and set up tactics. For them, there is not much choice. With only 29 seconds left, they are not like the Thunder, they can attack one. Can only hold down time, either fight for three points; or hit a two point, and then foul. What Stevenson has to do is just how to help these players and score this goal.
Donovan just repeatedly emphasized defense. Especially for outside defense, if it doesn't work, foul in advance, and definitely not let the opponent have a chance to shoot outside the three-point line!
