Vol 3 Chapter 204: Los Angeles back to back

For Anlow and Westbrook, Oklahoma City is undoubtedly the most welcome city. But there is still a city, not too much. This city is Los Angeles.
On the third day of 2018, An Luo stood on the Staples court again.
Here, he didn't hear the slightest boo. He has played all over thirty courses in the league, and only in the Chesapeake Energy Arena and Staples would this happen.
When he joined Westbrook and Paul George one after another, the cheers on the scene did not stop.
He saw in front of his eyes that in countless golden No. 8, No. 24 and No. 2 jerseys, he actually saw a lot of his own Thunder No. 8 jerseys. He even saw the jersey he was wearing.
Of course, there are many fans wearing Westbrook and Paul George jerseys.
No wonder, Westbrook is very happy every time he goes to Los Angeles to play a game.
He and Paul George are Californians, and Westbrook was a player. To go back to play in your hometown, you deserve to be popular Although An Luo is not an American, he was a student like Westbrook. And led the Bruins to win the NCAA National Championship. Therefore, in Los Angeles, his popularity is not inferior to that of Westbrook and Paul George.
In the summer of 2016, when Anlo learned that the Lakers had won the second pick, he expressed on his personal social account that he wanted to stay in Los Angeles and play. Later, he left Oklahoma, not only won the best rookie, but also elected the best sixth man. I don’t know. How is the Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak who gave up Anlo and chose Ingram?
However, if you like it, you have to fight with a real gun. The three Thunder players, headed by Westbrook, who have great ties to Los Angeles, have no mercy when facing Los Angeles' darlings.
At the beginning of the game, the Lakers' Kuzma made consecutive hits, and the Lakers started with a wave of 10:0.
This is surprising. But I have to say that this rookie with the 27th overall pick in the first round has adapted too quickly to the NBA. You know, this Lakers team has a lot of rookies and even more high-draft rookies. But he can play it, it's really great.
However, the Thunder is the Thunder, and the strength is too much.
With Anlow and Paul George firing, the Lakers quickly couldn't stand it.
Especially in the second quarter, the Thunder players feel very hot. Needless to say, Anluo and Paul George, three-pointers have always been their conventional weapons. Even Westbrook made two three-pointers in the first half of the game. Under this rhythm, the Thunder scored 42 points in this quarter! The weak defense of the Lakers can't resist this group of wolves.
Not only can it be prevented, but their offense is also unstoppable. They shot only 32.6% in the second quarter and made 2 of 9 3-pointers. In a total of 20 points, Kuzma scored 8 points and Randle 7 points. The others added up and only got 5 points!
With a 26-point lead, the Thunder did not relax in the third quarter. As soon as Donovan came up, the main force came out. An Luo entered the training mode directly. In just one minute, he hit 2 consecutive ultra-long three-pointers. At the half of this quarter, George made a successful shot and the Thunder led by 89:58 with 31 points.
Subsequently, Donovan removed his main players. After all, I will play another Los Angeles team here tomorrow-the Clippers. These players can take more rest if they can.
However, even as a substitute. The Lakers also failed to recover the score.
The rookie Terrence Ferguson, selected by the Thunder this year in the draft, became the superstar in the last 17 minutes of the game. During this time, he made 8 of 10 shots, including 5 of 7 three-pointers, scoring 21 points, and also contributed 3 steals.
This made Donovan very happy. You know, the last Thunder rookie to hit such a data was An Luo. He was always worried because the team's strength on the bench was too weak to give enough support to the main players. Now a good seed popped up suddenly, how could he be unhappy.
In the end, the Thunder beat the Lakers by 40 points at 133:93 at Staples!
After the end of the game, the Thunder players did not go out for recreation. Although the night in Los Angeles is a dream, but thinking about tomorrow's game, they still restrained their inner impulse. After all, after playing the game with the Clippers, there will be a two-day break. Enough for them to have fun in the City of Angels. Moreover, Westbrook and Paul George, as the hosts, have invited everyone to celebrate after winning the Clippers.
The next night, when Anlo stood on the Staples court again ~ EbookFREE.me ~ a feeling of returning to Oklahoma City came alive. He originally thought it was a fake that the Clippers were unpopular in Los Angeles, but now it looks like that.
In the audience, he did not see too many fans in Clippers jerseys. Scattered, almost all Griffin fans. In this case, Anluo truly enjoyed an away game as home.
This trip to Los Angeles should be An Luo's happiest back-to-back game since entering the NBA.
This season, the Clippers once played a better game after losing Paul. But in the end it was a huge loss of strength. As the game progressed, they began to fall out of the top eight in the West. However, in recent games, they have all won.
In this game, they continued their recent outstanding performance. Three quarters against the Thunder, no difference.
But in the last quarter, the Thunder strengthened their defense. Especially for Griffin and Lu Wei's defense, directly extinguished the Clippers' offensive flames. The Thunder's own offense went smoothly.
Under the "big three" throwing from inside out, the Thunder took the lead in a wave of 80. After that, the Thunder focused on the defensive end. Makes the Clippers continue to make mistakes, the Thunder continued to pull the score apart. Rivers was furious on the sidelines, but still couldn't change the situation.
In fact, the Clippers are not short of people to score. But they lack a position that can control the situation at critical moments and organize the offense. And now the only one in the Clippers who can do these things, Teodosic, also left early due to a relapse of an old sole injury.
In the end, the Thunder beat the Clippers 127:109.
While they won two consecutive back-to-back victories in Los Angeles, they also ended the opponent's four consecutive victories.
