Vol 3 Chapter 453: Lu Wei

Grant was now outside the baseline and quickly delivered the ball to An Luo who was standing outside the right three-point line. Alexander, who was staring at Anlo, immediately posted. His defense was not good, but he was very positive. At this moment, Alexander was bending over, his hands half-opened, his eyes fixed on An Luo.
Perhaps it was too nervous, Alexander followed An Luo's tentative steps to give An Luo the shot space. Although immediately realized that something was wrong, An Luo's shot was too fast! After being swung past, he immediately turned back, jumped up to meet An Luo for the first time, reached out to interfere, but the latter had already thrown the ball! Alexander's defense looks positive, but it didn't actually play a role.
However, Paul George was really entangled by Beverly. Regardless of whether he holds the ball or not, the opponent looks extremely vicious. At this time, Beverly was like a hungry wolf, even if he couldn't directly throw down his prey, he still had to take a bite of meat from Paul George.
However, there was a problem with the Clippers' offense. The Thunder's defense showed the momentum of the defending champion. Judging from the situation during the opening period, they did not cause too much problem because of Robertson's absence. At least, the Clippers' offense did not cause them much damage.
Nearly half of the first quarter, Beverley's small throw was slapped by Grant, who had changed defense. At this time, Rivers was a little angry again. He had just returned to the bench, stood up again, walked to the sidelines, and yelled at his players.
Westbrook grabbed the ball before Shamet, then took a round with his right arm and threw the ball to the other side of the court. The rest was left to Paul George and An Luo to handle.
The first to get the ball was Paul George, but Beverly, who was inseparable, had a great interference with him and made him give up his idea of ​​ending the offense. However, An Luo has a very good chance behind him. After he rushed to the penalty area, he immediately divided the ball. After Anluo received the ball, he jumped and shot the ball without delay.
Fast attack and counterattack are always Thunder's deadliest weapon. Of course, all of this is based on their tenacious defense. This is where Donovan breathed a sigh of relief tonight. In the second half of the regular season, especially in March, the Thunder lost some games because of their defense, and Grant did not grow to the point where everyone was at ease. But Grant did well tonight.
Rivers called a timeout. He was very dissatisfied with the performance of the players during the opening period. There are indeed bright spots on the defensive end, especially Beverly, Paul George basically did not score much. But other points can be very annoying! Especially for An Luo's defense, there is basically no effect. Alexander is still too young.
"Ann, you stay on the court later. They will definitely let Louise on the court. You have to do your best to score."
"No problem! Billy."
This is quite unexpected. You know, Donovan has rarely let An Luo come off the bench now. Let Paul George, who is more capable of autonomous scoring, go to battle with the opponent's rotation, and the effect is really good.
Back to the game, Lu Wei and Harrell really both played. Oklahoma City is of course also a rotation lineup, Westbrook, Paul George and Adams are off, but Grant is still on the court.
Lu Wei attacked with the ball. Facing Felton, he seemed quite relaxed. Slowly taking the ball beyond the three-point line, Harrell, as always, came to the top of the arc to screen for Lu Wei. The latter took this opportunity to rush directly into the inside.
The Thunder's defense contracted back to the basket in the first time. Lu Wei and Harley's pick-and-roll coordination is too powerful, even the Thunder can't completely limit it. After Lu Wei plunged into the crowd, he twisted his body and hit the ball into the basket.
Looking back, An Luo responded with a rollover jumper in the right elbow zone. But Lu Wei turned his head and scored a three-pointer.
It was also after Halley's cover, but this time Lu Wei did not rush in directly. After he got rid of the defense, he took a step to the right, pulled up and made a three-pointer.
"Huh!"
Hollow hit! Lu Wei's state is really hot.
Next, the game turned into a battle between the two sides. On the Thunder side, An Luo took most of the offensive burden. Although Ferguson, Grant and Kanter can all score, but with An Luo's disposition, they basically choose themselves. Of course, his efficiency has always been high. The other players won't say much. The Clippers are naturally based on Lu Wei. Harrell, Shamet and others also performed well! But ~EbookFREE.me~ all the Clippers' offense is centered around Lu Wei.
From the second half of the first quarter to the middle of the second quarter, An Luo and Lu Wei could not tell a victory or defeat. The difference between the Thunder and the Clippers has basically not changed.
This is a very interesting thing. Two years ago, the two became direct contenders for the "Best Sixth Man" award. Two years later, the two competed in the playoffs again. An Luo is no longer the An Luo, but Lu Wei is still the Lu Wei.
When Lu Wei was replaced by Rivers in the second quarter, he had already completed his mission. With a drifting three-pointer, the Clippers levelled the score. During this period of time, Beverley played early, which had a great impact on Anlo's offense. An Luo was still a little dazed by the opponent's desperate defense.
In this period of time, Lu Wei has scored 20 points! His scoring methods are so rich that they are endless. Break through layups, stop jumpers, three-pointers, the Thunder's defensive strength, and it is easy to be fouled by Lu Wei. Coupled with Harrell's screen, Lu Wei has become a difficult point for the Clippers on the offensive end.
After the starters of both sides were back on the court, the Thunder unexpectedly fell. Without An Luo on the court, the offensive firepower has been greatly reduced. With Beverly's entanglement, Paul George still can't exert too much combat effectiveness. Fortunately, Westbrook's state is not bad, and the Clippers' offense is not good enough, both sides are deadlocked.
This kind of game becomes awkward. It gives people the feeling that whether it is the Clippers or the Thunder, their main force is trying to control the situation and not let themselves fall behind too much. Give the bench a more adequate rest time.
