Vol 3 Chapter 226: 6 consecutive victories

With Westbrook missed the final shot, the two sides drew again 108:108.
The game entered overtime. This season, the Thunder rarely play overtime. Under normal circumstances, a big score wins. Or the opponent did not give them a chance to drag the game into overtime.
In fact, at the last minute, the Thunder have a chance to take away the game. The Cavaliers were still 3 points behind the Thunder with 26 seconds left. Fortunately, the ball is still in their hands.
Tyronn Lue's usual style is to hand over the game directly to James at this time. It's the same this time.
There is plenty of time, and this attack must use up all the attack time as much as possible. Otherwise, if you leave enough time for the Thunder to complete the offense, the consequences may be unimaginable.
Therefore, James took the ball across the center line, and after passing the ball back and forth with George Hill, he stopped moving. However, he has been communicating with his teammates, making gestures with his left hand, directing this attack.
With 7 seconds left in offensive time, James moved. Together with him, all the players in the Cavaliers' presence including Thompson. In the end, he took advantage of Osman's screen outside the right three-point line, stepped over, pulled up and threw the ball.
For a while, the entire Chesapeake Energy Arena was quiet. Everyone held their breath, their eyes all fixed on the orange leather ball flying in the air. No one wants it to fall into the basket, so that the Thunder can win.
It's a pity that God always makes things that people don't like happen.
"Huh!"
The clear sound of the basketball passing through the net bag was transmitted through the loudspeaker into the ears of everyone present. A sigh followed, and everyone was very disappointed.
James lights up his muscles in the middle of the court.
"Who said that I am getting older? Who said that my key ball ability is worse than before? There is no change at all!"
An Luo was akimbo and shook his head speechlessly. These superstars are like this. They may only make 35 or 6 percent of their three-pointers in a season. They may not make two three-pointers in a game. But at critical moments, they can always make those incredible balls. They also believe that they can invest.
Just like James in this game, he made 1 of 4 shots from beyond the arc. Just made a three-pointer, but it was worth a thousand dollars.
According to his own plan, the Cavaliers almost used up the entire 24 seconds of offensive time. Finally, leave less than 3 seconds for the Thunder to make the final shot.
During the timeout, Donovan decided to let Westbrook perform the final attack. Anlow and Paul George contain the opposing defense and make room for Westbrook. As long as Westbrook receives the ball inside, there is a huge opportunity to kill the game. After all, in this game, Westbrook's offensive efficiency within the free throw line is not low.
The tactics are executed very well. It was even better than expected.
Before Westbrook took a shot against George Hill, Anlow found a space under Grant's cover. But time is too short. Westbrook didn't dare to pass the ball. Once wasted time because of passing, missed shot opportunities. After the game, this matter will become Westbrook throwing the pot to Anlo.
As the boss of the team, he doesn't want to see this happen. Therefore, Westbrook pushed against George Hill and made a strong mid-range shot.
Unfortunately, the goal was not scored in the end.
In overtime, the Thunder took the lead in making changes. Westbrook began to return to the role he has always been this season. Even if he has scored 30 points in this game, the Thunder need more people to share the pressure on Westbrook. Only when inside and outside blossom and support each other can the Cavaliers' defense be restrained most effectively, and the game can develop in the best direction.
At this time, An Luo is always the first to stand up. In the first offensive round, after receiving a pass from Westbrook, he switched directly to offensive mode. He used a probing step to sway the defending JR Smith. Although the opponent did not lose his position too much, that little space was enough.
An Luo seized the opportunity to shoot. At this time JR rushed back quickly. An Luo bends his knees, and then rises up from an early age to meet the opponent's body and jump up gently.
After being knocked out of balance by JR Smith, An Luo tried his best to maintain his upper body shooting position and threw the ball out before he fell to the floor.
"Beep!"
An Luo fell to the ground and the referee's whistle sounded. Westbrook and Paul George ran over immediately to see if there was nothing wrong with An Luo. But An Luo didn't care about it himself. He stared at the basketball that flew toward the hoop.
"Huh!"
The goal is scored! An Luo squeezed his fist and hit the floor a few times~EbookFREE.me~ was very excited.
Chesapeake Energy Arena was full of cheers again, Westbrook and Paul George pulled Allora up and patted his vigorously. They are also very happy. After all, three plus one can't be done casually.
Standing on the free throw line, An Luo took a deep breath and made the ball steadily.
This ball can be regarded as completely opened up the two lines of Ren Du and the Thunder. Subsequently, Paul George also opened fire. He shot inside and outside, scoring 7 points in a row. Helped the Thunder extend the lead to 8 points.
At the last moment, James was very tenacious. He continued to attack the inside to cause damage, and once approached the score to 3 points. But Anluo's second three-pointer in overtime completely killed the game.
In the end, the Thunder defeated the Cavaliers 128:122 in their appearance, giving the opponent their first defeat since the exchange of blood.
With a five-game winning streak, the Thunder went to Memphis the next day to challenge the Grizzlies. In this game, Paul George, who was full of firepower, made a big splash. While scoring 41 points, he led the team to an easy victory over the opponent.
The Grizzlies are also pressing hard. Two times within a few days against the league's number one Thunder. An Luo scored 40 in the previous game, and Paul George scored 40 in the latter game. Every night, it is the background board of others.
After this game, the NBA players will have a very important rest time.
That is the All-Star Weekend.
After this, most teams will enter a very difficult stage. Especially those teams that are still working hard for the playoffs, as well as those teams that are ranked 7th and 8th, will do their best to play every game. The players will naturally work harder.
