Vol 3 Chapter 428: The golden body is broken

In the first month of the new year, the Thunder's schedule does not seem difficult. Among their opponents, only the Spurs, 76ers, Trail Blazers and Bucks need a lot of effort. In the other 10 games, the possibility of the Thunder winning easily is very high. Now, they have eliminated the Spurs, and still twice in a row; then the 76ers are left waiting for three opponents. And these three opponents, in the last two years of fighting results, the Thunder almost won.
　　 For the Thunder, they have always had a dream, which is to win in a single month. This month is a great opportunity. Especially after they defeated the Spurs twice, the confidence of the Thunder is even stronger.
　　 It is a pity that the sky does not fulfill the wishes.
　　 Just as the Thunder passed the two opponents right now and looked at the 76ers, the previous defeat of the Eagles gave them a heavy blow. Shattered Thunder's dream once again.
　　 After two days of rest, the Thunder headed to Atlanta. Paul George did not go with the team due to shoulder discomfort.
　　 The Eagles were also a strong Eastern Conference a few years ago. The four players were selected for the All-Star, single-month undefeated, and the Eastern Conference's top name is still vivid, but now it has become the bottom of the list. And in the middle, only four years have passed. Recently, however, the Hawks have hoped for a recovery. The rookie Tre Young, who has been criticized for half a season, finally showed his strength. Super scoring and organizational skills have made him a superstar who can compete with Doncic for the best rookie.
　　 is also this guy, the players with the Eagles, shattered the Thunder's dream of a single month victory.
　　 On January 15, 2019, the Thunder's away game against the Eagles kicked off at the State Agricultural Insurance Arena. The last time I came to play in Atlanta was last year. Looking at this renewed arena, An Luo had to sigh. These clubs in the league are really willing to spend money. In the second half of last year, the Atlanta Hawks spent nearly 200 million dollars on a major renovation of this home arena that has been in use for almost 20 years. However, it may take some time to wait for the eagle to spread its wings again.
　　 In this game, the Eagles were very active from the beginning. They have matched the Thunder for a long time. In the first quarter, with about 40 seconds left in the game, the two sides scored 2525. Subsequently, Ferguson hit a three-pointer to help the Thunder take the lead again. But at this time, Tre Young made two consecutive throws to the inside, allowing the Eagles to enter the second quarter with a 1-point advantage. In the second quarter, the Hawks' substitute Alex Lynn became the "super star" on the court. In more than 6 minutes of his appearance, the Hawks hit the Thunder's 209 offensive climax, opened the point difference in one fell swoop, and took the initiative in the game.
　　 After Anluo and others re-appeared, although the situation soon stabilized. But still did not change the passive situation of the Thunder. At the basket, Collins played very well, Adams could not limit the opponent well. On the outside, Treyang’s precise projection almost completely offset An Luo’s role.
　　 Thunder can only enter the second half with a disadvantage of nearly 10 points. In the third quarter, Westbrook teamed up with An Luo to play a thunder-style game. They disrupted the eagle's rhythm through strong defense, seized the opponent's mistakes and quickly counterattacked. Under this rhythm, the Thunder quickly tied the score and then overtook it. With 2 minutes left in the quarter, the Thunder overtook the Hawks by 11 points.
　　 seems to be another third quarter that takes away the rhythm of the game. However, the subsequent trend has developed in a direction that is unfavorable to the Thunder. At the end of the third quarter, the Eagles made three consecutive three-pointers, which brought the game back to balance. In the fourth quarter, the Eagles, who suddenly got on track, shot 9 of 13 from beyond the three-point line. Throughout the fourth quarter, they scored 45 points, while the Thunder only scored 36 points.
　　In the end, the Eagles defeated the Thunder. Rookie Tre Young made 8 three-pointers with over 60% shooting, scored 36 points, and provided 11 assists. Outstanding performance eclipsed Anlow's 32 points and Westbrook's 14 assists.
　　 Thunder, who left Atlanta with regret, returned to Oklahoma and had another defeat.
　　 Fully Thunder, lost to the Lakers who lacked James in their home game. This interrupted their unbeaten record that they had maintained since last season.
　　 In this game, all 12 players that the Lakers played have scored, of which 6 were in double figures and 2 scored more than 30. Kuzma, who was called "handsome and able to play" by fans, became the scoring leader in this game. Playing 36 minutes, scored 37 points, plus 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals. The overall shooting percentage was as high as 65. Zubac, who made 8 of 12 3-pointers from the bench, was more efficient ~ EbookFREE.me ~ played only 27 minutes before surrendering a large double-double of rebounds. The hit rate was as high as 875. Although most of them were pie under the basket, it still made the Lakers fans feel ecstatic, even more than Kuzma scored 37 points.
　　 Among other players, Ball 15 points and 9 assists, Pope 13 points, Hart 11 points, Ingram 10 points
　　 In contrast to the Thunder, the scores are basically concentrated on the three stars of Anlow, Paul George and Westbrook. The other players did not help them much. Even Westbrook and Paul George, although the scoring looks good, but the efficiency is not very good. Since the former entered the New Year, the offensive end has been sluggish. After the latter erupted continuously for a wave, the state fell. Robertson can't count on it, he is a more stable player than Anlo in the Thunder. Adams is a little better, always getting 10 points in a game. People like Grant, Ferguson, Noel, etc. are always good and bad.
　　 After two consecutive defeats, the difference in winning that the Thunder had opened in the previous period almost dropped back. Of course, it is not easy to fall to the second place. They lead the other teams in the West by a lot this season
　　 Losing to the Hawks is equivalent to losing to a first-year rookie; losing to the Lakers is equivalent to losing to a second- and third-year player. The newcomers now are really getting better and better. This is why this league has always been at the top of the entire basketball circle. An endless stream of outstanding young players from all over the world has poured in and injected fresh blood into the league.
