Vol 3 Chapter 253: Finally won 1 game

When the time entered April, An Luo and the others were free.
By this time, the Thunder had determined that they could advance to the playoffs with the first record in the Western Conference. And they have set a new record for the best record in history. Under such circumstances, Donovan officially began to give his players a "holiday". Although the league has made three orders and five applications to not allow players to absent from the game for no reason, but after playing for so long, none of the players have suffered serious illnesses! This kind of thing is reasonable in any way.
In the game against the Pelicans, Anlow and Westbrook were both "injured" and missed. Even Westbrook, who played normally, didn't play for a few minutes. So, they lost the game very neatly.
Anthony Davis and Holiday played very well in this game. However, the most surprising thing is Rondo's performance. In fact, before this, Rondo's performance has always been good and bad. Occasionally, one can show the level of All-Star, and occasionally one can make people wonder whether he is suitable for staying on the court. Perhaps the playoffs are about to begin, so Rondo entered the playoffs mode early. He had 21 points, 11 rebounds, 12 assists and 3 steals in this game, which was very comprehensive. The Pelicans players twisted into a rope under his tandem, and played very well on both ends of the offense and defense. Especially Davis and Holiday. One is full of ammunition, and the inside is like a fish in the water; the other comes out of the dilemma of being a father and a mother, and the offense is very handy.
Back in Oklahoma City from New Orleans, the Thunder once again met the Warriors. In this game, the two sides lost a lot of swords and shadows. Although the grievances between Durant and Westbrook are still the focus of media hype. But the heat is much lower than before. After all, everyone is preparing for the playoffs, and the result of this game is not important. Of course, the Warriors still have some ideas. After all, they don't want to be swept by the Thunder this season. Although it's just a regular season, it doesn't sound good after all. But for the Thunder, it doesn't care so much.
Of course Westbrook is more radical. Every time he meets a Warrior, he is the most active one in the Thunder. And under the leadership of Westbrook, the Thunder played very seriously at the beginning.
An Luo opened fire first. As soon as he came up, he opened the scope and made two consecutive three-pointers against Thompson, plus an assist for Adams, and the Thunder's 8:0 start. All have something to do with him. But Durant went wild afterwards. Relying on his long body and long arms, he constantly used his shots to make kills and surpassed the score in one fell swoop. In this game, in the absence of Curry, Durant became the final choice of offense. The Warriors switched directly from the team basketball mode to the superstar basketball mode. Durant himself knew what he should do and did a great job.
When Westbrook saw Durant playing so high, he couldn't restrain the great power in his body. However, although he is very active, his offensive efficiency is not very good. Even if Durant missed two 3-pointers at the last minute, the Thunder still trailed the Warriors by 2 points at 26:28.
During the break, Donovan made no comments. Westbrook was a little discouraged. Judging from this quarter of the game, Durant performed much better than him. By the second quarter, Westbrook stopped himself and played reasonably. In this section of the game, Paul George finally spoke up. Through the pick and roll, he constantly breaks into the penalty area to score, whether it is a layup or a jumper, he is very accurate.
An Luo did not play in this quarter. He was sitting next to Donovan, listening to the opponent telling him some problems in the game. Therefore, Ferguson got a lot of playing time. His offense is actually okay, especially the three-pointer is very good. But in Thompson's matchup, he fell completely behind.
Donovan is more to let An Luo pay attention to Thompson's performance on the court. As an excellent 3D player in this league, there are many things in him that are very helpful to An Luo. Scoring, defense, and how to positively influence the game without the ball. Although An Luo did a good job, Donovan felt that if An Luo could improve a little bit in the playoffs, his help to the team should be very obvious.
In the second half, Durant once again entered a runaway state. Now that Curry is not there, he must seize the opportunity to beat the Thunder at the Chesapeake Energy Arena. This is very important for the Warriors, but for Durant himself, it is even more important.
Paul George's defensive attitude is still very positive. He would give Durant the most interference every time, but the opponent is too accurate. Durant rarely gets close to the basket ~EbookFREE.me~ and always takes shots from mid-range or from the three-point line. In many cases, he attacked with the ball himself. Use very large cross-steps to sway the defender or turn around for a jumper to attack.
The Thunder have been clinging to the score with the steady performance of Anluo and Adams, the inside and outside players. With only 5 minutes left in the third quarter, Anlo received a basketball from Westbrook at the top of the arc. He didn't stop after catching the ball, and directly started to look right in front of him. Thompson was taken aback and quickly backed away. But An Luo braked suddenly and squeaked his right foot on the floor. The whole body was like a sharp arrow, directly nailed to the floor. Thompson also stopped, but his inertia was too great to stabilize his figure. Although he did not fall to the ground, he staggered and rushed out of the sideline.
"Wow……"
The entire Chesapeake Energy Arena issued a very neat exclamation. If this were changed to Westbrook, they might think it was normal. It's no surprise that Paul George did it. But what happened to An Luo is really incredible.
An Luo himself was taken aback, but then he quickly withdrew to beyond the three-point line. Pulling up is a three-pointer.
However, this is the last time Oklahoma City scored within one goal in this game. The next game became Durant's performance alone. Durant who feels online is really terrifying, how to vote and how to have it!
In the end, Donovan removed all his main players with 4 minutes left in the game. After all, it is 15 points behind. No need to go all the way to catch up!
After the game, Durant looked excited. He stood on the main circle, holding his hands high, and receiving the boos from the Chesapeake Energy Arena.
