Vol 3 Chapter 454: 3 points like a knife

At the end of midfield, the score of the game became 58:56. The away team is first and the home team is behind.
It is hard to imagine that the Thunder will be behind in the first half. Of course, there is still some luck in the Clippers' ability to lead. For the last offense in the second quarter, the Thunder had already defended very well. But he couldn't hold back Shamet's fairy ball at the last moment!
With 5 seconds left in the second quarter, Beverley passed the ball to Shamet, who was outside the right three-point line. Shamet, who found the opportunity through the screen of his teammate, did not throw the ball out the first time. Because at this time, Grant had already changed defense. Shamet has almost no chance to shoot under his close defense. But in the end, the latter jumped up sideways and completed this attack.
Shamet's goal is completely foolish! Throw the ball out with his own feeling. But the goal is scored! This is a good shot.
I have to say that this is a big blow to the momentum of the home team. Defending desperately, finally let others score! And still score in that way. However, these are minor issues for the Thunder. The team that won the championship has never seen any big storms!
The problem to be solved now is how to limit Lu Wei's offense. And how to break free from the crazy defense of the opponent and play your own game.
The players don't have any feelings of disappointment and decadence. Although everyone did not cheer, the atmosphere in the dressing room was still very lively and harmonious. Those who don't know will definitely think that the Thunder is the leader.
The only one who is a little depressed is Paul George! It was really uncomfortable to be entangled in two games by Beverly and unable to do it all. It stands to reason that Beverly's figure can't prevent Paul George anyway! But countless little movements, non-stop trash talk, and the bloodthirsty state made Paul George very upset. The status is greatly affected.
"Man, you don't care about him at all..."
"You have to play according to your own ideas..."
I don't know if everyone's enlightenment is effective, but it seems that Paul George's emotions are under control.
"Guys, we can't continue to be affected by their emotions. Whether it is offense or defense, we need to play our own games. Otherwise, this series will make us uncomfortable!"
"Listen, we have a lot of problems... but it doesn't stop us from winning the game. Next we..."
During the intermission, Donovan hurriedly explained the problems of the team in the first half and the tactics of the second half to the players. Especially the problem, he said very carefully. Donovan believes that these players can handle most of the problems. As long as they understand what they should do.
"Their defense is very strong, and the fighting spirit and explosive energy demonstrated in the defense are amazing. Patrick is a leader-level player. He used his actions to take the entire team to another level. Louis is A superstar! He is omnipotent on the court."
When the second half was about to start, Donovan accepted an interview with reporters on the spot. When the other side asked him about his performance to both players, he praised the Clippers players. He is not very satisfied with his players.
"We didn't perform well enough. Neither defense nor offense was adjusted to the best state. So that for a long time, the rhythm of the game was under the control of the opponent. We could have done better! But the truth is that Yes, we are behind now."
Of course, Donovan has always been a confident man. As soon as he changed his voice, his sharp edge was revealed.
"But this is the game! Anything is possible. I believe that my players can adjust and win this game. We never slow down our pace towards the championship. No one can let us stay."
At the beginning of the second half, the two sides changed sides to fight again.
As soon as the Thunder came up, they started their own offensive tactics. The constant running and constant screens allowed the Clippers to change their defensive formation at their own pace. In the end, Anluo and Paul George can get shots from mid-to-long distance positions, and Westbrook and Grant can also seize the opportunity to cut to the basket and make a layup. Adams will be a little closer to his mobile phone. He is more often seen from the free throw line to the top three-point line to pick and roll and support other players.
This kind of offense allowed Paul George to get relief. After getting rid of Beverly's stalker, he finally relaxed.
With Paul George's voice, An Luo also came out. When the Big Three were present at the same time in the first quarter, Anluo's efficiency was not high. Because the Thunder loses one scoring point ~EbookFREE.me~, he tends to face more defensive power. Especially outside the three-point line, the opponent always blocked his shot space for the first time. In that situation, An Luo is often forced to play inside with the ball.
As soon as he came up, An Luo got a chance at the bottom left corner. Gallinari was blocked by Grant, and An Luo became empty. Westbrook's eyes have been watching the entire stadium, passing the ball the first time. After receiving the ball, he naturally made another three-pointer and made a hollow hit. With such an open shot, An Luo's shooting percentage is terribly high.
After Anlow succeeded, Paul George also opened fire from beyond the three-point line. He faced Zubac with a step backward, almost hitting "three plus one." But after the free throw missed, the basketball hitting the front of the rim shot far and just fell into the hands of Westbrook who rushed in. The latter did not hesitate and threw the ball directly beyond the three-point line. After An Luo received the ball, he brushed the ground and made another three-pointer.
At that moment, the entire Chesapeake Energy Arena boiled with a bang! This "three plus three" is really a boost! Moreover, under the combined blow of Anluo and Paul George, the Thunder suddenly overtook the score and opened it.
The so-called "three points are like rain", but the thunder rain was only cut off by the opponent. After Anlo dropped the ball, Rivers immediately called a timeout. This time he was reprimanded by Zubac again. There is nothing wrong with his defense, but his foul problem is serious! Either don't foul, or don't let the opponent score after fouling. Like this, sending 6 points in a wave is simply sending the victory of the game to the opponent. Moreover, Zubac's head is counted for not grabbing rebounds. Who told him to be the only big man on the court for the Clippers!
