Vol 3 Chapter 199: Brother or brother, brother or brother

At the start of the game, the Thunder first entered the state.
After Adams jumped to the ball for the Thunder, he ran to the three-point line and made a pick-and-roll with Westbrook. Westbrook instantly got rid of Gordon's defense. But the Rockets chose to double-team Westbrook, but Adams is the third player in the league in field goal percentage. He went straight down and after receiving Westbrook's pass, he pressed Capella and threw the ball in with one hand.
After a burst of cheers, all Thunder fans sat down.
After each home game, the Thunder fans will stand up to watch the ball. They won't sit down until the home team scores the first sports goal. They are the only fans in the league to motivate the home team in this way. Moreover, they are very loyal to the team regardless of whether their team is at the top or at the bottom. It's hard to see how dissatisfied the Thunder's home audience is.
Looking back, Harden advanced with the ball. He wanted to communicate with Capella from outside the right three-point line to break through the Thunder's defense. There was no problem when he passed the ball, but when Capela passed it back, it was directly intercepted by Westbrook.
After the steal, Westbrook directly launched a counterattack fast break. Adams, who had just crossed the center line, immediately turned his horse's head and rushed into the paint area alongside Westbrook. Although Capella returned to defense very quickly, his two punches were harder than four hands. Westbrook finally threw the ball, and Adams directly buckled in.
Harden passed directly to Ariza outside the three-point line and wanted to make a time difference. But the latter chose to shoot outside the three-point line, wasting this offense. This may seem unreasonable, but in D'Antoni's tactical system, it is a very correct choice.
An Luo picked up the rebound and he took the ball directly to the three-point line. In the process of retreating, the Rockets did not stick too tightly. As a result, An Luo fired directly and hit the basket accurately.
In the first minute of the game, there was a wave of 7:0, and the Thunder were in good shape tonight.
But the Rockets are the second team in the Western Conference. You may not find the status for a while, but once you find the scoring status, it is a continuous rhythm.
After Anlow made a three-pointer, Harden assisted Ariza to cut to the basket, causing Robertson to foul. Then made two free throws, breaking the scoring drought for the Rockets. However, Paul George then scored a mid-range score, and the point difference was still 7 points.
Next, the Thunder's offensive rhythm was disrupted by the Rockets. The opposing team's defensive strategy was very targeted, directly let go of Robertson and Westbrook, and fully encircled Anlow and Paul George. The former really can't score points on the perimeter, and as long as the latter starts to score, it is considered a defensive success.
With Capella hitting the basket continuously, Anthony, Ariza and Gordon also hit three-pointers, and the Rockets tied the score directly. Had it not been for Paul George to make a strong three-pointer, the Rockets would have taken the lead.
But this time is only a little bit later. After Harden began to charge in, the Thunder became very passive. After he rushed in, he was always looking for physical contact, causing consecutive fouls by the Thunder players.
"Harden was really smart! He took the ball and hit the guy first. The whistle sounded, and then he layup. The achievement is two plus one, and at least two free throws are missed."
"The point is, the referee still eats this one."
People all over the world knew that Harden would commit a foul, but it just couldn't stop him.
With Ariza hit a layup, the Rockets took the lead with 24:22. Donovan immediately called a timeout.
After a quick arrangement, the players from both sides played again. Moreover, some personnel changes have been made. The Thunder also played Grant and Kanter, and the Rockets replaced Nene and Webber.
In the next half of the game, the two sides almost tied. The Thunder didn't get the score back, but at the end of the first quarter, they were only behind by 3 points.
The second quarter game belongs to Paul George and An Luo. The former scored 10 points in the first 7 minutes and led the Thunder to 23:16, leading the Thunder to overtake the score in one fell swoop. The latter is a person who withstands the output of the entire rocket. Especially in the last three minutes, Anluo made three of three three-pointers, leading the team to a wave of 13:2 attacks, directly extending the point difference to 15 points.
During the intermission, Donovan was very satisfied with the players' performance in the second quarter. Regardless of the effect on the offensive end, the defensive end is even better. In the last two and a half minutes of the second quarter ~EbookFREE.me~ they guarded the Rockets to a pointless.
In the first half, the performance of the Thunder's "Big Three" was quite satisfactory. Westbrook had 6 points and 7 assists, Anro had 12 points and Paul George had 12 points. Surprisingly, Adams's performance is so outstanding. He made 6 of 9 shots in the first half and scored 12 points while also grabbing 7 rebounds, including 4 offensive rebounds. Capella was eaten to death by him, except for the unexpected performance in the middle of the first quarter, at other times, there was no two-eyed performance.
In the third quarter, Harden broke out! He made consecutive three-pointers from beyond the three-point line and also provided great help to his teammates. Harden, who scored with one hand, helped the team quickly tie the score in only half of the game. In this section, D'Antoni did not let him rest. The Rockets were able to withstand the Thunder's offensive in the second half.
The two sides entered the final quarter with a score of 88.
As soon as the fourth quarter came up, the two sides started a defensive battle. In the first two minutes, both sides were very uncomfortable with the opponent's defense and kept hitting iron without a point. It wasn't until Anthony used his iconic CIC to break the deadlock. Subsequently, Donovan returned all the main players ahead of time.
At the critical moment, Westbrook seemed extremely calm. He took advantage of Anlow and Paul George's containment to play their most familiar pick-and-roll tactics with Adams.
After three consecutive matches, the Thunder opened the score again. As for the Rockets, Gordon and Ariza did not feel good in the first three quarters. Although Harden and Anthony were able to score under the defense of Anlo and Robertson, they still couldn't equalize the score.
122:127, with 2 seconds left in the game, the Thunder led by 5 points.
After Harden received the ball, he placed it directly on the center line and announced the abandonment of the game.
