Vol 3 Chapter 426: Runaway


Overtime is actually equivalent to a restarted game. It's just a bit shorter.
   The lineup on the Thunder side is still the same set at the beginning of the game, Westbrook, Anlow, Paul George, Robertson and Adams. The Spurs have changed a bit. They continued the lineup in the fourth quarter, with Aldridge, DeRozan, Bertans, White and Mills who played well on the bench. Although Aldridge and Gasol's twin tower tactics played well at the beginning, it was obvious that they could not keep up with the rhythm of the Thunder. The situation throughout the game was very passive. In the last quarter, after adopting a small lineup, they slowly reversed their disadvantages.
   Jump the ball. Aldridge defeated Adams and slapped the basketball to Mills. The latter dribbled the ball to three cents and played a pick-and-roll tactic with Aldridge. But the latter failed to seize the opportunity to complete the layup because of Adams' timely defense. The basketball was passed to White from beyond the three-point line. After White received the ball, he forced An Luo to break through the penalty area. Then the right elbow suddenly stopped to shoot a jumper.
   In fact, White made the ball very reluctantly, and his fake move did not succeed in swaying An Luo. The result is naturally not good. The basketball fell directly into the hands of Westbrook at the basket and made a three-pointer!
   After getting the ball, Westbrook got wind at his feet and rushed out of the three-point line in an instant. He controlled his speed and came outside the three-point line in the frontcourt. He caught the Spurs before they could organize an effective defense. He suddenly accelerated, twisted his body and passed between Mills and DeRozan to finish. Layup.
   Maybe it was Mills' last confrontation that made Westbrook a little off balance, and his layup failed to score. But Paul George, who rushed to the free throw line with him, flew up and made the ball into the basket. In the game, it is important to always be motivated.
   Looking back, the Spurs finally made another shot from outside the three-point line. Mills passed the ball to White near the line, who used Aldridge's pick-and-roll to get rid of Anlow's entanglement, and then quickly took two steps on the right to leave the distance with Robertson, who had changed defense. Then take off and shoot.
   The basketball went straight to the hoop, hollowed into the net. The Spurs' three-pointers have really been accurate tonight.
   However, An Luo responded quickly.
   On the next offense, Westbrook found Adams, and the two played a very classic Thunder version of the pick and roll. It would be perfect if it wasn't for Adams' final hook to be a little bit off. But the good thing is that the rebound was grabbed by Westbrook. After the start of overtime, Westbrook did not have the exhaustion of being off the court before. He seems to be just beginning, surprisingly energetic. Just like this rebound, Aldridge and Bertans were both at the basket, and he just grabbed it abruptly. After grabbing it, Westbrook directly raised his right hand and threw the ball out. Although he grabbed a rebound, his position was dangerous. It's easy to be killed by the opponent, then steal or face off.
   Of course, Westbrook didn't throw it out indiscriminately. Paul George stood at the top of the arc almost alone, and the chances were very good. But when he received the ball, White hurried to the side. The speed of patching defense is very fast. But the reaction of others was a bit slow. Paul George didn't even make a fake shooting, and passed the ball directly to An Luo who was at a 45-degree angle on the right. The latter took the ball and shot it without any sloppyness.
"brush!"
   Basketball hollow into the net! With this ball, the Spurs' defense is completely passive. The Thunder's several transfers have captured the opponent's defensive gap just right.
   Next, Anluo got two more shots from outside the three-point line, with one goal and one miss. The Spurs didn't score any more three-pointers. Of course, their several points were basically concentrated on the inside. Aldridge has scored 56 points after more than 4 minutes in overtime! Moreover, in the final moments of overtime, he beat Adams to help the Spurs once again take the lead.
   Thunder is 2 points behind! However, this time the decision is in the hands of Thunder.
   Donovan's tactics are still very stable, with the main offense inside, Westbrook and Adams looking for opportunities to play two points. Anlow and Paul George are waiting for opportunities on the three-point line.
   The Spurs' defense is different from that of the Thunder. They seem to predict that the Thunder will focus on the inside, not only put Gasol on the court, but also shrink the entire defense.
   Therefore, when Westbrook burst in, there was no chance to shoot! He made a decisive move and passed the ball to An Luo on the outside. At this time, An Luo's position is very good! White, one meter away, can't give him much interference, and An Luo is very likely to make a lore.
   Of course, An Luo will never miss this opportunity. After receiving the ball, he pulled it up and threw the ball.
"brush!"
   Hollow into the net~EbookFREE.me~ a fatal blow!
   But the scene did not think of the exclamation and disappointment he had imagined.
   He quickly turned his head and looked at the referee because he heard a whistle just now.
   DeRozan fouled Paul George! The latter got two free throws. An Luo's three-pointer is invalid!
   When the referee's decision came out, everyone in Thunder was shocked! An Luo was even more confused. I thought it was a three plus one, but it turned into two free throws. At that moment, even Donovan was angry! However, after repeated video playback, the referee insisted on his penalty.
   Paul George resisted the pressure and made two free throws to help the Thunder get back the score.
   After DeRozan missed the prize in the backcourt, the game entered the second overtime.
   An Luo who re-entered the field went straight away! With anger, An Luo hit a three-pointer against White as soon as he came up. Then he received a super long pass from Westbrook in the defensive counterattack and scored another goal. When Aldridge completed the attack on the inside and rewritten his score to 58, Anlo immediately responded. He received a pass from Westbrook at the top of the arc, faced White, swayed the opponent with a tentative step, and then stepped back to open the space, raising his hand to make a dry three-pointer and steadily hit the basket.
   After three consecutive three-pointers, the Thunder gained a 7-point lead. The Spurs quickly called a timeout. As he walked to the bench, An Luo pointed his finger at the referee who had blown off his lore. The meaning goes without saying!
