Like last season, the Thunder ended the first month of the game with a wave of victories. At the same time, the Thunder also held the top spot in the Western Conference with six consecutive victories.
The performance of the three core players of the Thunder has also been quite outstanding during this period of time.
After averaging a triple-double last season, Westbrook seems to like this feeling. After six games, he averaged 18.5 points, 10.5 rebounds and 12 assists per game. Looking at this, it is likely to be another season of triple-doubles per game.
is the most stable scoring point for the Thunder. After Oladipo's competition is missing, he gets more opportunities. In these six games, he was able to average 25.5 points, 1.5 rebounds, 3 assists and 2.8 steals per game. Ranked 11th in the league in scoring and second in steals.
Paul George, who traded Oladipo and Sabonis, was in a downturn, but the overall situation was quite outstanding. Averaged 24 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.2 blocks and 3 steals per game. Both offense and defense are very strong.
In addition to the lack of the thickness of the bench, the Thunder now has the top three in the league on both offense and defense. In terms of three-pointers, Anlow averaged 4.5 three-pointers per game, Paul George 3.2, and Westbrook 1.5. With an average of nearly 110 points per game, no team can handle the offense of such a team.
What's more terrifying is their defense! The Thunder accounted for 3 players who averaged more than 2 steals per game, and 7 of them were more than one! Roberson, Paul George, and Anro's defense line, whoever comes will have to take off their skin. Such a group of excellent single-defense players integrated into Donovan's unlimited defense tactics, making their average points per game controlled below 95 points.
The Thunder, with excellent offense and defense, has been hailed as the Warriors' biggest opponent to defend this season. The threat is even higher than that of a knight! This means that if the Thunder can pull the Warriors off in the playoffs, their chances of winning the championship are quite high.
Entering November, Thunder is still unstoppable.
The first game against the Bucks, they were very relaxed. This season "Letter Brother" turned out. As the most improved player last season, he has grown into one of the most dazzling players in the league this season. He has a long wingspan and can be inside and out, which really caused problems for many teams. But the trouble with the Bucks is that apart from him, there is no good support point. And today, they lacked the general Monroe, which made "the letter brother" cut his arm. The Thunder strictly guarded against "Brother Alphabet" not allowing him to get to the basket easily and achieved good results.
Then they returned to Oklahoma and greeted the Celtics.
The Celtics are lucky this season, but unfortunately. As the Western Conference finals team last year, they won the championship. After trading with the 76ers, the talented Tatum was selected with a lottery pick. Then he traded Thomas Jr. for Irving, and got Hayward from the Jazz. It can be seen from this operation that they are not satisfied with only entering the Western Conference Finals. As a veteran giant, the championship is what they are after.
But the day fails. The Celtics lost general Gordon Hayward in the opening game and then lost two games in a row. Owen, who has high hopes, does not seem to have the ability to lead the team like Thomas. Although a wave of seven consecutive victories soared morale afterwards, they encountered the Thunder in this game. They fought hard for four quarters and finally lost regretfully.
Thunder's strong firepower made the Celtics unable to defend. Although Irving and Horford played well enough, they still failed to reverse the success.
Then they defeated the Blazers in Portland. With Westbrook's 18 assists in series, Paul George's 33 points and Anlo's 30 points eclipsed Lillard. Although he scored a game-high 36 points, but in this game, director Lee seems to have forgotten to bring his watch!
Then, the Thunder took the King away. The funny thing is that after the entire first quarter of the game, the Kings' starting five did not score a point.
At this time, the Thunder has won ten consecutive victories! It is the longest winning streak in the league and the only team that has not lost so far.
But then they ran into trouble in Denver.
Coming to the plateau, the Thunder fought very hard. Paul George was in good form after the opening game. One man scored 7 points in a row and led the team to a 7-2. In less than 4 minutes in this quarter, he had already scored 10 points, but Westbrook was in a mediocre state and even blocked dunks. However, led by Pickles and An Luo, the Thunder still had a slight advantage after the two quarters.
The two teams still played inextricably in the second half and drew several times in the third quarter. With 1 minute and 07 seconds left in this section, Patterson made a three-pointer and the Thunder took the lead. But Button made two consecutive layups and the two sides entered the final quarter. Westbrook still failed to regain his form in the last quarter, and his teammates' field goal percentage also dropped. The Thunder played harder and harder and fell behind.
Donovan hurriedly paused. He didn't tell the players how to improve their offense~EbookFREE.me~ but emphasized how to defend the opponent. He put his hope of scoring on An Luo.
After a point, the Thunder increased their defensive intensity. Under this defense, the Nuggets also began to have problems offensively. At this time, An Luo started to score. He has always been the consistent scoring point. This game is also. After hitting two consecutive three-pointers, he used his diversion to attract offers and assisted Westbrook for a layup. After a wave of 8:0, the Thunder regained their advantage.
In the last few minutes, the Thunder did not give the opponent another chance. After the ball was concentrated in Anlow's hands, coupled with Paul George's containment, Westbrook's air cut played a huge role. In the end, the Thunder defeated the Nuggets with difficulty. He extended his winning streak to eleven games. Moreover, after leaving Denver and returning to Oklahoma, the Thunder extended this number to fourteen games on their home court. Break the original longest winning streak in one fell swoop!
defeated the Los Angeles Clippers, defeated the Dallas Mavericks, defeated the Chicago Bulls, and won 58 points in three consecutive games! None of these teams even caused the Thunder a bit of trouble.
In this half of a month, the Thunder has become the team that people pay most attention to. Of course, the focus is slightly biased. Almost everyone wants to see who can end their winning streak. Unfortunately, during this period of time, the Thunder did not encounter a particularly strong opponent.
But then, they will challenge the Spurs away. As the suffering owner of last season, the Thunder naturally took a breath.
