Vol 3 Chapter 308: Do your best

111:121, the Thunder are already 10 points behind. However, with 4 minutes to go, the Thunder still have a chance.
For these two teams, 10 points are not a problem. But the 10 points difference is not a small problem. The Warriors will definitely not give them a chance! And in terms of the state of both sides, the Thunder are also at a disadvantage.
Donovan is very eager, he doesn't have much time to carefully arrange what the players should do. He just let the players like Anlo understand that the situation is not so bad.
"Play your own rhythm and play our offense. Forget the score on the court and focus on the game."
Westbrook took his brothers and played again, shouting slogans. But this time they were greeted not by the cheers of the Chesapeake Energy Arena, but by boos and all kinds of harsh calls.
Adams stood on the sidelines preparing to serve. Rooney stood in front of him, shaking his hands with wide open hands. It can be seen that the Warriors did not relax because of their lead. Especially in the last moments, they themselves often beat this kind of knock-off game, and naturally understand that they should be vigilant. Therefore, they are putting pressure on the Thunder from the sideline.
However, this is not the final moment, so the Warriors put some pressure on, and after Westbrook received the ball, they withdrew to the three-point line. According to Kerr's arrangement, the team's overall defense line was constructed.
Westbrook went outside the three-point line and observed it. An Luo, standing at a forty-five degree angle on the left, was stared at by Thompson. Green was on the free throw line and could double-team at any time. Paul George is in a similar situation. In this case, Westbrook must use his breakthrough ability to tear the opponent's line of defense. Whether it is a layup or creating opportunities for Anlow and Paul George, the Warriors' defense must be disrupted first.
Facing Curry's defense, Westbrook has no pressure. He dribbled the ball down continuously, grabbing Curry's defensive loopholes while shaking his shoulders, and started directly, like a lightning bolt squeezing past the opponent's left. Curry who was thrown away had nothing to do with this, but he was not particularly worried! Westbrook wants to score, and there are two levels of Green and Rooney!
When Westbrook moved, the rest of the Thunder moved too. Robertson went around the bottom line to the left three-point line. After being thrown away by Westbrook, Curry changed defense and got stuck beside Robertson. Although Robertson's offensive end is often the point that was emptied, it does not mean that the Warriors can get stuck in him running around on the court.
Roberson, who came to the three-point line, made a pick-and-roll for Anlo, who got rid of Thompson's entanglement and got a good opportunity in the bottom corner. Originally there was Green staring at the back, and Anlo couldn't get rid of the Warriors' defense even with the screen, but Westbrook's breakthrough took Green away. This is part of the plan, and Westbrook does not have to make a layup. During the layup against Green and Rooney, he saw An Luo slipping to the corner. Take advantage of the opportunity to hang the ball from Green's head.
The quality of this pass is quite high, and Anluo is very comfortable. He didn't make any adjustments, he just pulled up and shot. Curry, who had made up for it, rushed to the air, and could only watch An Luo throw the ball out in front of him.
"Huh~"
The basketball is very competitive and goes directly to the net. Such an open three-pointer is too simple for An Luo. After the goal, An Luo slammed a punch. By the way, he also taunted Curry who threw at him at the last moment.
"Man! Your defense is too bad!"
An Luo was indeed a little excited. In the first half of the game, because the team's overall feel was poor, as a stable point, he was naturally the most closely guarded by the Warriors. In 5 minutes of playing time, An Luo only shot one goal from beyond the three-point line, and has not yet made it! He has been aggrieved. Therefore, this three-pointer is quite a relief! He looked up at the scoreboard, the current score is 114:121, and the Thunder are 7 points behind.
Three and a half minutes, 7 minutes. No problem at all!
After Anluo made this three-pointer, maybe all the Thunder fans would think so. This is the change An Luo brought to the Thunder. Just like Durant before, as long as he is still shooting, it can make people feel at ease.
In the midline high-five with Westbrook, An Luo could see the firm look in the opponent's eyes. Although this game is not a critical battle for the Thunder. But in any case, we must do our best to win the game. After all, where does 2:1 have 3:0 insurance!
Looking back, Curry advanced with the ball. Robertson followed him all the way without daring to slack off. Green mentioned a position more than two meters away from the three-point line and gave Curry a pick-and-roll ~EbookFREE.me~ and blocked Robertson behind Curry. But Westbrook quickly switched defenses. Curry still didn't have a chance to shoot. Seeing Paul George leaning towards him, Curry hurriedly handed the ball to Green who had returned, and then ran toward the left bottom corner.
After Green got the ball, he stood at the top of the arc and passed the ball to Durant on the right elbow. After receiving the ball, the latter walked in against Paul George, but Paul George did not suffer from defense. In the end, Durant could only force the opponent to stand up and shoot a jumper.
"boom!"
Paul George's defense has done a good job. Durant's shot hit the edge of the basket directly, and the rebound was taken by Adams. He did not stabilize, but immediately passed the ball to the outermost An Luo. The strength is a bit big, An Luo ran across the center line to catch the ball. He rushed directly to the basket and easily picked the ball into the basket.
An Luo has a chance to dunk, but he doesn't. At this juncture, it is more important to save a little energy in subsequent games. What's more, he has played this game for 35 minutes, and he feels a little tired.
116:121, the Thunder used their own defense and offense in 1 minute to chase the score to only 5 points. Their defense is very tenacious. Change the defense in place and make up the defense in time. The Warriors have always wanted to disrupt the Thunder's defense through their constant running and off-the-ball screens, but they encountered the most pick-and-roll defense team in the league. Except for Adams, the other four players are all people who can defend from position one to position four. So in terms of defense, the Thunder have the upper hand. The reason why the current situation is unfavorable is that the Warriors felt too hot before.
However, after these rounds, the Thunder saw hope of victory.
