Vol 3 Chapter 469: Carry on to the end

All this happened too suddenly! Even D'Antoni didn't expect that Gordon would appear in that position. He didn't and would not deploy such tactics. After all, no one dared to empty Paul George at that time.
　　 But in many cases, the outcome of the matter determines whether the initial choice is correct or not. If Gordon's reaction is slow, and when he releases Paul George, Westbrook will pass the ball immediately. Let Paul George get an open position, the lethality is not necessarily weaker than An Luo. Even if it's half a shot, enough time for Westbrook and Paul George!
　　 The result now is that Gordon steals the ball. While helping his team remain invincible, he also firmly grasped the initiative.
　　 The situation changed suddenly, and everyone was caught off guard. More than ten seconds ago, the Thunder still had a big advantage, but now, it suddenly became a disadvantage. Now, all the pressure came to Thunder. If they don't want to waste their efforts for a night, they must have the best performance.
　　 Therefore, while D'Antoni is intensively arranging the next lore tactics, Donovan is also analyzing his players how to defend next. He didn't look nervous, and calmly said to An Luo and others:
　　 "Ann, you have to make sure that James can't make a move. This is not an easy thing, but we have to do it..."
　　 "Russell, Chris is a master of pick-and-roll tactics. Once he misplaces and matches Steven, we will be very passive. You must pay attention to this point. You must return to the defensive position as soon as possible..."
　　 "Paul..."
　　……
　　 Donovan spoke very quickly, reminding him of the things that need attention in every position. However, the feeling given to An Luo is that the more Donovan speaks carefully, the worse the situation will be, and the more worried Donovan will be.
　　 "No problem, Billy!"
　　 "Don't worry, boss!"
　　……
　　 After listening, An Luo and others nodded in agreement. All have a straight face. When the opponent suddenly came so out, no one would feel comfortable changing it.
　　 returned to the game, the Thunder will each take their place. Anlo stood in front of Harden, staring at him. With Harden for more than a quarter, no one understands the consequences of basketball once it gets into the opponent's hands better than Anlo.
　　 Capela was arranged by D'Antoni to serve from the sidelines. Given his height and vision, it was a very stable choice. Adams naturally stood in front of Capella, opened his hands wide, and kept disturbing the opponent. The other players ran quickly when the referee's whistle sounded. The Thunder players followed closely behind and were very positive.
　　An Luo has always been stuck between Harden and Paul. He feels that his task is too difficult!
　　 "They will definitely give the ball to James!"
　　 Westbrook told An Luo before the timeout ended. Indeed, at critical moments, superstars always have more ways to score. Although Harden was a bit soft before, his performance at critical moments in these two seasons has been very good.
　　 Harden quickly shuttled through the crowd, An Luo followed behind, bypassing the obstacles again and again, always following Harden. Everyone else is doing the same thing. They don't give each other a chance at all. When the game is about to end, the referee generally ignores it. This has brought greater trouble to the Rockets. Especially Harden and Paul, there is absolutely no way to get the ball. Seeing that the time to serve 5 seconds is approaching. D'Antoni has pulled his tie off the sidelines now, but he has no way to help his players do something. Moreover, the timeout is gone, so I can only do it in a hurry.
　　 At the moment when it was close, it was Gordon who stood up again!
　　 He made a big circle, from the right side to the left side of the court, then ran out from the top of the arc, and finally returned to the right side of the three-point line to catch the ball before he bypassed Tucker to chase Paul George. After receiving the ball, Gordon slapped the basketball on the floor with extreme speed, and flew toward the right bottom corner.
　　 One step, two steps. Stand still with your left foot, quickly retract your right foot, and then apply force, and the whole body is pulled up directly.
　　 Gordon wants to make the best shot!
　　 When the Thunder focused all their attention on Harden and Paul, it made Gordon the man who had the opportunity to be a hero.
　　 After pulling it up, Gordon shot. Faced with Paul George's extended arm, there was no hesitation.
　　 The basketball wiped the tip of Paul George's finger and flew to the hoop. Perhaps because of fear of being destroyed by the opponent, Gordon specifically shot the arc a little higher. It can be seen that this is not a random shot.
　　 "Huh!"
　　 The goal is scored! Gordon really became the hero of Houston!
　　 For 3 seconds after the goal was scored, the Chesapeake Energy Arena was silent. No one can believe that the game will become like this.
　　 The live commentary shouted "unbelievable" over and over again, and the Thunder players looked at each other and were at a loss. Only Donovan has not lost his sense of chaos at this time. He shouted at his players: "Hurry up and give it to Ann, give it to Ann..."
　　 At this time, Westbrook reacted. In order to complete this shot, Gordon did not deliberately control time. Therefore, after he scored the ball, he still gave the Thunder 7 seconds.
　　 "Hey, Ann!"
　　 Westbrook rushed to the bottom line, then picked up the ball and threw it to An Luo. After the latter received the ball, Paul and Harden doubled up in an instant. In the face of these two guys, An Luo could not dare to be strong. He quickly passed the ball to Westbrook, who caught the ball and began to run wild.
　　 At this time, it’s too late to find teammates! Time passed quickly, Westbrook pulled up more than a meter away from the three-point line, and shot the ball with a horseback archery.
　　 When the basketball is still rising, the time is cleared. At this time, everything is on this shot. Everyone focused their eyes on the orange-red shadow, some expected it to enter, and some prayed that it would not enter.
　　 Anluo, the Thunder players, are so nervous. If this goal is scored, there is still a chance to come back again. But if you don't make it, you can only play the next series with a big disadvantage.
　　 The basketball flies very slowly, a few seconds feels like centuries have passed. Finally, a dull voice reached people's ears.
"boom!"
　　 Disappointment instantly spread throughout the Chesapeake Energy Arena and even the entire Oklahoma City. Donovan put his head in his hands, his face looked helpless.
