Vol 3 Chapter 223: Knights Fight Again

After Anluo led the Thunder to two consecutive victories, they finally ushered in a very difficult opponent-the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Although the last time the Cleveland Thunder defeated the opponent. But that is already another team. The Cavaliers now have a new look and full of fighting spirit. Neither of them has lost a game since the trade.
Of course, in terms of momentum, the Thunder did not lose the wind. After all, they have won three straight now. Moreover, in this game, Westbrook and Paul George both returned from injury. When the Thunder returned to the Chesapeake Energy Arena to play against the Grizzlies in the last game, the reason why the two did not come back was probably to prepare for this focus battle.
In this game, the teenager Osman started consecutively. In these few games, he has won the favor of coach Tyronn Lu. Even James had to switch to power forward because of this. The remaining three starters are: George Hill, JR Smith and Thompson. The newly added Cavaliers Hood and Clarkson are still coming off the bench.
The Thunder finally returned to their regular lineup. Except for Robertson's continued absence, the rest of the players remained healthy. In fact, the Thunder's injuries have been well controlled this season. More than half of the season passed, except that Robertson suffered two injuries and missed some games. People like Westbrook, Adams and Paul George are all minor problems, and occasionally take a break or two. Others have no minor problems. Such as An Luo, Grant and so on.
In professional leagues, many teams are unable to achieve their strength to the fullest due to injuries and many established tasks and goals cannot be completed. However, this is part of any type of sports.
The two sides assemble in the middle circle, jump the ball, and the game begins.
Westbrook took the ball and walked to the right to force George Hill. The latter's defense is still very good. He stepped straight back and got stuck on the route of Westbrook. After all, it is a player from the Spurs who has been honed in the Pacers for several years. The strong hit failed, and the ball was hung directly from the opponent's head to Adams.
After Adams got the ball, he directly drove Thompson and turned around and hit the rebound. First record for the Thunder.
This is the difference between Westbrook on the court and off the court. In the first two games, Felton brought the ball directly and handed it to An Luo. Under normal circumstances, this attack is over. But more often, Westbrook is playing with Adams and steadily winning.
Looking back, after receiving the ball at the top of the arc, James saw George Hill slipping out of the bottom line from the basket. Without saying anything, he squeezed the ball directly.
The pass is very beautiful. Hill also voted decisively. But just didn't make it!
However, Thompson grabbed an offensive rebound. He passed the ball directly to JR Smith on the other side of the three-point line. After the latter received the ball, he raised another three-pointer.
"Huh!"
The goal was scored. Nervous knife is still a bit capable.
Both sides started well, and the score climbed up to 11:11.
Afterwards, Anluo took a step forward with his right foot after receiving the ball at a forty-five degree angle on the left. When JR Smith moved, he changed direction and squeezed from the left. He drove the ball in with his left hand twice, and before Osman pounced it, he pulled it up and threw it out.
"Huh!"
An Luo leaned back slightly, his jersey fluttering on top of his not particularly strong figure. Simply picturesque!
After the ball, the Thunder overtook the score.
In the next few rounds, several players on the Cavaliers field became extremely cold, and they continued to strike. The Thunder used this period of time to directly open the score. After Paul George made a layup, the Thunder opened the score to 21:11, leading by double digits.
Tyron Lu hurriedly called a timeout.
Adams protected the rebounds too well in this period of time. After 6 minutes of the game, he has grabbed 7 rebounds. The last time he played the Cavaliers, it was Adams who ruled the penalty area alone.
After a timeout, James advanced with the ball. In the first half of the game, his offensive desire was not strong. More often, he played the role of organizer. But now the team's situation is different, the offense is no longer open. Tyronn Lu did not have a particularly good way to deal with, only to let James stand up and score.
Grant can't prevent James, so on the defensive end, Paul George will go out to defend James alone. But this time, he was unable to guard the opponent.
After James received the ball, he stepped directly over. He leaned against Paul George on his shoulder, and then squeezed past him to the right. Although Paul George followed ~EbookFREE.me~, it was the one who reacted later. Go straight to the basket. No one dared to pull him when James rushed up. Therefore, Adams at the basket can only raise his hands and make basic defensive actions. However, this has no effect. James rushed to the basket, flew directly, and dunked with one hand.
As the boss of the team, Westbrook naturally can't watch the opponent play wild on his own turf. So he immediately returned the knight with almost the same action.
Westbrook carried the ball all the way to the three-point line. His body is not as sturdy as James. After all, he is playing in a different position, and the overwhelming momentum is not strong. But as a defender, his speed is very fast and his impact is also very strong.
Under the cover of Adams, Westbrook got rid of George Hill and drove straight in, facing Thompson with a powerful slash.
"This is my place!"
After the dunk was successful, Westbrook said lightly to Thompson. Then he walked away with his overlord's legs, a look of pride.
"OKC!"
"OKC!"
...
The moment Westbrook succeeded in dunking, the entire Chesapeake Energy Arena was boiling. They could no longer suppress their excitement.
The current Thunder players are really perfect. With An Luo present, they never worry about scoring. This has been fully proven in the previous two games. With Paul George, the other arrow character will not do what he wants. Whether it is Durant, Leonard or James, it will be greatly reduced. With Westbrook, the game will never lack passion. His breakthrough, counterattack, and dunk are all full of passion.
