Vol 3 Chapter 240: Strong enemy

After winning a victory in Sacramento, the Thunder then moved to Oakland to fight the Warriors again.
Although the last game was a bit frantic in the last quarter, the Thunder were in the absolute lead during the entire game. However, the warrior is not a king. Although they did not show a particularly strong dominance this season, their strength has always been among the top three in the entire league. Therefore, the Thunder are very cautious.
Of course, when they meet the Warriors, they don't think they can't beat them. After all, before that, the Thunder had already played against the Warriors twice. Every time the Thunder players played particularly well. Moreover, they have never lost a game.
The first match was at the Chesapeake Energy Arena. At that time, the Thunder lost to the Spurs and Pelicans in a row and needed a big victory to stabilize their momentum. Coupled with the fact that they are in their own home court, and there are some of Durant's relationships in it, the Thunder exploded with great fighting power. The Big Three played well and did not give the Warriors a chance. For the second time, Oklahoma City played a guest in Oakland. This time, the Thunder just experienced their first three-game losing streak this season. The so-called mourning soldier must win, and the whole army's thunder, led by Westbrook, won the Warriors by 20 points. But this game is like the last two classes before the school holidays. As the All-Star Weekend is approaching, the Warriors don't have any intentions to play well.
But even so, the Thunder and the Warriors are still in a 50-50 situation.
Whenever the Thunder meets the Warriors, it will cause a big battle online. Of course, the focus of people's debate has changed. At the beginning, everyone was watching the grievances between Westbrook and Durant, and the strength of the two teams was second. Of course, the Warriors were in the absolute lead at that time, and it was extremely difficult for the Thunder to win a game. After finally winning a game, people have to be called upset.
However, everyone's focus has changed this season. The Thunder's strength has undergone earth-shaking changes, and compared with the Warriors, it is not much to give up. Of course, there is another important reason, that is, the relationship between Westbrook and Durant has begun to pick up. In the two games before this season, after the two met, although they have not yet reached the point of reconciliation, there have been some exchanges between each other. Of course, it's more rubbish.
In this game, Robertson finally appeared in the starting list. After adapting to the previous game, Donovan has been able to determine that Robertson can play normally. This is very important for the Thunder. After many days, they were finally able to dispatch their strongest starting lineup again. Westbrook, Anlow, Paul George, Robertson and Adams.
This set of lineup, facing the four-star warriors, is not much better.
At the beginning of the game, Adams grabbed the basketball on McGee's head. When encountering a different match, Pachulia was taken to the bench and the more athletic McGee appeared in the starting lineup. This guy is also a god! In addition to the head, everything else is at the top of the league. Therefore, if it is played well, it is a treasure; if it is not played well, it is a disaster.
Adams waved his hand and assigned the basketball to Paul George. The latter handed the ball to Westbrook and ran forward by himself.
Westbrook got the ball and rushed directly. His speed is too fast! Throwing Curry far away in one step. None of the Warriors' other players responded, except for Green. This guy is big, but his movements are not slow! He plunged directly into the basket from the other side, and rushed to meet Westbrook.
"Beep!"
The referee's whistle sounded!
Green fouled, Westbrook got two free throws.
Green, who was called a foul, was very puzzled. He pointed to the line of the reasonable collision zone and protested loudly with the referee. But on this field, the referee is always the best person. Whether right or wrong, when the whistle is sounded, it is a fixed matter, and basically it will not change.
Two free throws were made and the Thunder scored two points first.
Looking back, after Green caught the ball at the top of the arc, he made a false pass and handed the ball to Thompson in the bottom corner. The latter took the ball and slipped directly to the bottom line to the basket. An Luo can only get stuck on one side and try not to let the opponent layup or make a shot. After all, in this position, a little contact will be called a defensive foul. Thompson actually didn't have a good chance to score, but he was still playing in. As Adams leaned over, he hung the ball to the front of the basket. McGee took off directly and dunked with both hands.
McGee is like this. No matter the quality of the ball you feed him, as long as he can catch it, it is basically a dunk. His ability to eat cakes in the basket is very strong, and his physical fitness is great! Thinking about his two-handed dunk in the slam dunk contest, it was really quite a pair of eyes~EbookFREE.me~ Looking back, Westbrook once again made the inside under the cover of Adams. But this time he didn't dare to force it. Both McGee and Green have shrunk to the basket, and both of these guys are good at protecting the frame. Especially McGee, there are many players in the league who have been capped by him. There are many big-name stars among them.
But this does not affect his passing. After hitting the basket, Westbrook moved the ball to An Luo, who was outside the three-point line. At this time, the latter just ran out of the open space under the cover of Robertson.
An Luo did not hesitate after receiving the ball. Just pull up and shoot the basketball. Thompson could only jump high, trying his best to interfere.
"Huh!"
Basketball hollow into the net!
5:2, the Thunder started offense well.
Next, the two sides engaged in a long tug of war.
On the Thunder side, Westbrook has focused his energy on organization and defense. Especially defensively, under his efforts, Curry has not been able to make several shots during this period. The main output is Anluo and Paul George, but these two men also shoulder heavy responsibilities on the defensive end, one has to stare at Durant, the other to hold Thompson. Of course, Robertson became the ambulance team, and wherever there was a problem, it would appear. Anyway, Green, as long as he is not close to the free throw line, don't worry about him.
During this period of time, most of the time the Warriors were supported by Durant alone. Of course, Thompson and McGee also contributed a lot. But without Durant, they would have fallen behind. And in An Luo's view, this guy is not tired from playing. He is shooting more often. Three-pointers, CIC, with his height and wingspan, Paul George has no way to intervene.
