Vol 3 Chapter 211: Knight, not so strong

From top to bottom, the Thunder believe this will be a difficult game, even if the Cavaliers are not in good shape. But in fact, as the game progressed, everyone discovered that the Cavaliers were actually not that strong. At least this knight is like this now.
Before the game began, Westbrook brought An Luo and the Cavaliers' Kevin Love to chat. After all, they are all outstanding, Westbrook and Love are still students in the same class, and together they reached the final four of the national championship. Although it lost to Derrick Rose's team, it was the second best result in more than a decade. The first, of course, is the champion. When Anlo won the championship in 2016, Westbrook and Love both came to the scene to cheer for him.
Of course, the happiness before the game did not affect Westbrook's painful killer in the game. For these superstars, trying their best to beat the opponent is the greatest respect.
Soon, the starting players of both sides came to the court. Under the organization of the referee, they stand in the middle circle and prepare to jump the ball.
The Cavaliers' starting lineup is James, Love, JR Smith, Thomas Jr. and Crowder. On the Thunder side, Westbrook, Anlow, Paul George, Adams and Robertson have the strongest starting lineup.
In fact, Robertson had already recovered from injury before then. But he waited until the Lakers game to come back. And Roberson didn't play for too long, it was more like going up to find the status.
In this game, the Cavaliers faced the strongest Thunder, and the situation was not optimistic.
At the start of the game, Adams succeeded in jumping. Westbrook controlled the basketball and launched the offense first.
In this first offense, Westbrook still went in under the cover of Adams. Thomas’ defense has no effect on Westbrook. So he gave up directly and left the question to Love, who was brought out by Adams.
Thomas’ defense is really not very useful. Of course, this is not to blame him. In fact, he is still working defense, the big bull market talent limits his ability. In the previous two years in the Celtics, there was a very strong defensive system supporting him, and someone would stand up to make up for the loopholes he appeared on the defensive end. However, the Cavaliers are clearly not Celtics.
Westbrook didn't hit his old man hard. He divided the ball to Adams who went down. After the latter received the ball, he easily turned around to get rid of the defense and dunked the ball with one hand.
Looking back, LeBron James broke through with the ball in the middle, attracted the Thunder's defense, and distributed the ball to Love in the right corner. The latter made a three-pointer before Roberson returned to defense.
"Hey!"
The ball is not scored.
Westbrook grabs a rebound! His position is always very close to the basket, but I have to say that this guy is really sensitive to rebounds.
After grabbing the rebound, it was the Thunder's signature counterattack and fast break. Westbrook started directly and accelerated to the frontcourt. He was like chasing a duck, chasing the Cavaliers' players all the way to the three-point line. After all, he rushed up, there is really no good way to limit it. It may be better to shrink the defense.
Westbrook also understood, but he didn't want to miss this opportunity. So he stepped on the brake at the free throw line and jumped to a mid-range. The action seems to be getting stiffer and stiffer. The name "Zombie Jump Shot" is still very vivid.
Probably in return for an old brother of his own, Westbrook also hit the edge of the basket.
But Adams jumped high from the basket and pressed Love to make up the ball. As the league's most capable center for offensive rebounds, he can do this very well.
Adams scored 4 points in a row and the Thunder started well.
In fact, fans who have watched the Thunder for a long time can find that Adams is the most stable one in terms of scoring. Although he is not averaging high points per game, it is all because the Thunder don't need him to stand up and score. The pick-and-roll between him and Westbrook was so perfect that it was impossible to prevent.
The Cavaliers had a rough start. In the next round, Claude was intercepted by Robertson when he passed the ball to James at the top of the arc. After Westbrook received the ball, there was another rush. Although James personally followed him this time, it could only prevent Westbrook's scoring and not his passing.
An Luo, who received the ball from the outside, took the shot without hesitation.
But at this moment, a black shadow flashed, An Luo felt that his right arm was brought to the floor by a huge force, and he also fell down with him.
"Beep..."
JR Smith fouled and Anlo scored three free throws.
"MD! This guy is a bit cruel!" An Luo muttered while pulling Westbrook and Robertson's hands and stood up~EbookFREE.me~ stepped onto the free throw line and scored the first two goals.
On the final penalty, Anlow reached out and gave Adams and Robertson a high-five. Westbrook and Paul George also came up and patted his ass. After he took the basketball, he dribbled 5 times, then raised his hand and set the ball out.
"boom!"
Did not enter. 2 of 3 shots, for An Luo, it's fine. He rarely gets free throws.
At this time, Adams stepped forward. With his right hand up, he shot the basketball beyond the three-point line from the heads of Love and Claude. Westbrook grabbed the basketball before Thomas Jr., then pushed it with his right hand to pass the basketball to Anlow again.
It turned out that An Luo retreated to the right side of the three-point line after the last free throw was taken. That is where he is most familiar.
have nothing to say. Keep voting!
No one interfered with him this time. The basketball went straight into the net bag and hit a three-pointer!
Tyron Lue called a timeout cautiously. The Thunder started so smoothly, and he felt that his players were a little overwhelming in their current state. Must interrupt the opponent's rhythm. Of course, he called a timeout, and generally only had this effect.
After the pause, the Thunder's hand still felt hot. After the opening 9:0, they fought each other 22:10. James' strong breakthrough helped the Cavaliers break the scoring shortage, and then Thomas and Love also succeeded. But their defensive problems are too great, and they have been unable to limit the continuous wave of offensive Thunder.
Under such circumstances, the Thunder scored 45 points in the first quarter! The Cavaliers only scored 26 points.
It feels like this Cavaliers are no different from the Thunder's last game against the Lakers.
