Vol 3 Chapter 218: Fighting Warriors Again

In fact, after staying in this league for a long time, whether it is coaches or players, they can ignore some remarks in the media or online. Of course, if it involves a personal attack. That is another matter.
I don't know how Westbrook faced those remarks. Anyway, An Luo has never seen what those people are saying. Anyway, praise or depreciation can't affect his performance in the game.
After a day's rest at home, the Thunder ushered in a game with the Los Angeles Lakers at home.
The strength of his own, coupled with the urgency of the whole team to stop the losing streak, made the Thunder play very strong this night. Whether it is Westbrook or Paul George, when facing the hometown team, there is no mercy at all. On the contrary, An Luo, who performed well in the previous games, did not perform too brightly in this game.
In this game, six Lakers scored in double figures. The starting lineups of Ingram, Pope, Hart, Randall and Lopez played a very two-eyed team basketball. Their passing and the cooperation between the players are very good.
However, the all-people Lakers still failed to take away a victory at the Chesapeake Energy Arena.
Westbrook and Paul George broke out in this scene. The former played 37 minutes and contributed 36 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists. The latter also contributed 32 points, plus 6 rebounds and 2 steals.
Although the Lakers are not a strong team, but two players can score more than 30 at the same time, it can still be seen that the strength of the Thunder is actually very strong.
However, this game, for the Thunder, was just a warm-up before the war. Because of the next game, the Thunder will head to Oakland to challenge the Warriors away.
The last time the two teams met, the Thunder defeated the Warriors very strongly. As a result, the latter not only lost the chance to reach the top of the Western Conference, but was also overtaken by the Rockets behind him. It took a long time to overtake again.
Meet again now. This is a very important game for both sides. The Warriors wanted revenge and used a victory to declare the strength of the defending champion. And after just experiencing a three-game losing streak, the Thunder also desperately needed a victory to prove that it was only a temporary downturn.
The Lakers are obviously not an above-standard object. The Thunder won the opponent and couldn't prove anything. The Warriors are undoubtedly the most suitable. Strong enough, Thunder has enough experience to play against.
In this game, both sides of the war naturally attach great importance to it. Other people, such as the media, fans and other teams, are also very concerned. Of course, as the two teams most likely to meet in the Western Conference Finals this season, the attention of every game is quite high. What's more, the grievances between the two sides are quite exciting.
"As the defending champion, the Warriors have a very strong lineup. There is no doubt that they can beat any opponent. But we are very confident in this game. Because we have enough experience in how to beat them."
Before the game, when An Luo was asked by reporters about the Warriors, he showed confidence: "We are never afraid to play against championship-level teams. Moreover, in previous games, he did a good job. "
These words he said, after being promoted by many media present, caused a very fierce battle of words on the Internet.
The Thunder's fans naturally support An Luo's statement. In their view, they were the winners the last time they fought; last season, the Thunder were far less powerful than they are now, and they have also won the full Warriors. And so far, the Thunder's record is much better than the Warriors.
The Warriors fans are naturally the most unhappy. They thought An Luo was too arrogant. In their eyes, An Luo is just a role player who can shoot three-pointers. What if you win a game? Didn't you win a game at the beginning of last season? But in the end? The Warriors didn't win another regular season, and the Spurs were eliminated in the playoffs, and they didn't even have the qualifications to play against the Warriors. What's more, the Thunder's state is very poor, but the Warriors are like a rainbow. They have won four in a row! The Thunder just ended a three-game losing streak with the Lakers.
Of course, more people just watch the lively crowd eating melons. They didn't support any of them, seeing interesting comments, they just silently liked them.
In this battle, in addition to the fans of both sides, there are also many professional basketball players, basketball commentators, and the local media of the two teams.
As the perpetrator, An Luo didn't know it.
February 6, 2018, evening. The Oakland Oracle Stadium is already full of Golden State Warriors fans. A heavyweight regular season is underway.
However, at this time the arena seems a bit quiet ~EbookFREE.me~ because their team is at a disadvantage, and it is not small. Although only a few minutes have passed since the game.
The Thunder have always had a very strange phenomenon in these two seasons. As long as they encounter a warrior, their combat effectiveness will surge and their state will burst.
This game is naturally no exception.
After a wave of 7:0, the Thunder played the Warriors with a wave of 16:4. In less than 6 minutes, the difference was opened to more than 15 points.
It was Westbrook who led these two waves of offense. And he played a little differently from before. In the past, Westbrook often went to his teammates, but tonight, he played on his own from the first ball. The scary thing is that Westbrook's shooting feels quite hot. In the first quarter, he scored 19 points alone! Almost catching up with his scoring average this season.
At this time, Durant stood up. Curry and Thompson failed to score a few consecutive long shots, and Pachulia and Green's layups were not satisfactory. Ever since, he simply separated himself from the Warriors' system and started singles.
This is his most familiar style of play in the Thunder. When the Warriors' system can't be opened, he will stand up and use his personal ability to help the team open the situation.
It seems to be doomed. Every time the Warriors play with the Thunder, Durant will be the focus of the audience.
He scored 17 points in the first quarter, not inferior to Westbrook. It can be seen that the two of them are still struggling.
However, this game was much less gunpowder than the previous games. Everyone can even see Westbrook talking and laughing with Durant on the court.
So, there are no obstacles in this world.
