Vol 3 Chapter 242: When Curry meets An Luo

After the first half of the game, the Thunder trailed the Warriors by 3 points 62:65.
Basically, the players on both sides have played their due level and each did what they should do. Westbrook didn't take the initiative to score in the first half, and his touch was not very good. Two quarters, 15 minutes played. Westbrook made a total of 6 shots, only hit two goals and 2 goals, plus the first two free throws, scored 6 points. But he has already scored 8 assists and 7 rebounds. Not surprisingly, tonight is another triple-double night.
Both Anluo and Paul George have made their own contributions. One 17 points, one 16 points, and made a great contribution on the defensive end. Especially Thompson, under the joint suppression of Anlo Robertson, he only scored 7 points in the first half. Curry and Durant are the Warriors' best players. Curry scored 22 points and Durant also scored 21 points. These two people basically rounded up two-thirds of the Warriors' points.
Although other players are very average in terms of statistics, their role on the court cannot be concealed. For example, Green and Robertson, these two did not score much, because they have always focused on defense.
In the second half, Donovan continued his play in the second half of the second quarter. He put the team's offense on Anluo and Paul George. Others save energy and concentrate on the defensive end. Especially Curry and Durant, the two guys, have become the top priorities of the Thunder's defensive end. Donovan still uses the infinite defense tactics that the Thunder are most familiar with. Among the five players on the field, except for Adams, who is a little slow to keep up with the Warriors, the other four can change defenses and make up defenses in time.
Facing the Warriors, this is the most suitable way for the Thunder.
During the intermission, Cole accepted an interview with reporters on the spot. Facing the camera, he has always maintained this humble attitude.
"There is no weak team in the NBA, let alone a team that also has three All-Stars, and their record is No. 1 in the league. There is no doubt that the Thunder are strong. They beat us in the first two games. However, Tonight is different. Our players have played their normal level. You know, as long as they play normally, we can win all teams."
In the tone, very confident.
Of course Cole has this confidence. After all, when Durant didn't join the Warriors, they won the championship and broke the record held by the Bulls, achieving the first record of 73 regular season wins in history. After Durant joined, although the Warriors did not go further in the regular season, they played more easily in the playoffs and finals.
But if this is heard in the ears of Donovan and the Thunder players, it has changed a bit. Therefore, in the third quarter, the Thunder played the toughest defense and the most determined offense.
An Luo was the one who stood up first. As soon as he crossed the center line, he received a basketball from Westbrook. Generally speaking, this kind of pass An Luo is to pass out, and then look for opportunities to shoot. But this time he did not do that. He brought the ball directly to the three-point line. Thompson is still very defensive. He has been sticking to An Luo. Just like Westbrook put Curry in, he also put An Luo in. He would rather An Luo jump over instead of letting An Luo make a three-pointer.
But An Luo did not give up. He beckoned, and then ran toward the top of the arc with the ball in his left hand. Adams, who was originally on the free throw line, knew it and pulled it out and made a pick-and-roll for An Luo. With just such a gear, An Luo led Thompson by half. Although not much, it is enough. He pulled up at the top of the arc and threw the ball quickly.
Thompson, who jumped from behind, collided with Anluo in the air. But the referee did not sound the whistle. In this regard, An Luo could only shrug his shoulders helplessly. He has never been willing to argue with the referee. So until now, he has not had a technical foul.
"Huh!"
After the ball scored An Luo, he was relieved. Although he didn't get a free throw, he can still make a shot when his body is out of balance, which is pretty good.
But An Luo doesn't care, doesn't mean that others don't care. The stadium is like a battlefield, and every point may determine the outcome of the game. And if you remain silent during such controversial judgments, it will make the referees do whatever they want. So Donovan protested to the referee for the first time!
However, for this ball, it is of no use!
Curry received the ball from Green and quickly advanced to the frontcourt. He almost completely copied the previous ball from An Luo and also shook off Westbrook under the cover of his teammates. Then he made a decisive shot and scored three points.
"Hey! After Anlo scored a three-pointer, Curry immediately paid a score~EbookFREE.me~ This game became better. The two most powerful three-pointers in the league are in the first In the third quarter of the game, I finally soared three points!"
At this time, An Luo also ignited an urge to compete with the other party. He had dealt with Curry before entering the NBA. At that time, An Luo was just an unknown person, but Curry was still very friendly. He gave him some very pertinent advice, which has a lot to do with An Luo's game.
It's a great thing to beat a player you once considered the goal of your struggle.
An Luo continued to ask Westbrook for the ball. He was still at the top of the arc to the right, but this time he didn't call a screen. Facing Thompson, An Luo drew a little distance back and quickly took a step to the right. Thompson moved in An Luo's footsteps. Regardless of the level of defenders, they will react the same in such a situation. An Luo seized the opportunity and kicked his right leg back suddenly, and his left leg took a step back to the left. After getting away from Thompson, he shot.
"Huh!"
The voice of hollow entering the net made An Luo very comfortable. In the process of retreating, he unconsciously shook his shoulders, just like Curry did just now.
With this shaking, Curry laughed. But elementary school students are not easy to mess with. He threw the ball directly from a position close to two meters from the three-point line. And it's in! After the goal was scored, he ran to An Luo and shook his shoulders.
This time is really going up!
At this time, people discovered that the two equally matched three-pointers rushed to the point, and it was so exciting. Although not as explosive as a dunk, the visual experience brought by a precise three-pointer is equally wonderful.
