Vol 3 Chapter 470: Call back

All the Thunder people are helpless!
　　 Their defense at critical moments is not bad. It can be said that the Thunder has done everything that it can do. But no matter how good the defense is, it is impossible to limit all five players. To be scored by a role player can only say that luck is not good enough!
　　 Of course, the Rockets’ performance is worthy of recognition. Their steals at the last minute and double-teaming against An Luo were very decisive. Whether it is Gordon as a role player, or Harden and Paul as the main players, no one has fallen. Otherwise, even if the Thunder makes a mistake and cannot be converted into a score, it will be in vain.
　　 When the referee of the game blew the whistle at the end of the game, all the Rockets players rushed into the arena. Gordon became the center of everyone’s celebration. All the Rockets players including Harden and Paul gathered around Gordon, roaring and laughing together, and celebrating with the earth-shattering boos of Chesapeake Energy Arena. Own victory.
　　 There is nothing more wonderful than winning away games in the playoffs! Although the process was thrilling, they were the winners tonight. However, this celebration did not last long. As the protagonist tonight, Gordon was interviewed by reporters on the sidelines.
　　 When he was asked by reporters why he suddenly appeared on Westbrook's passing lane, Gordon replied very modestly.
"This is a very risky choice! Under normal circumstances, no one would let me do that. But I believe that he will pass the ball to Ann. No one can do better than him when shooting from beyond the three-point line. OK. I believe in myself, so I went to that position." At this point, Gordon's face immediately appeared relieved. Later, he continued to sit and say, "Thank God! I didn't look away. I finished steals and helped win the game!"
　　 "That feeling is really great! It's so cool to be able to score key goals at critical moments!"

　　 In contrast to the Thunder, they did not lose their momentum because they lost the game. Instead, they stimulated their aura to the top. Everyone is brooding about the failure of this game. They never let the opponent gain the upper hand on this night, and finally allowed the opponent to overtake the corner at the last moment. What a pity! A victory that was inevitable, just disappeared before my eyes. And it also made others laugh last at their home court, and that feeling is really not very good.
　　 It is conceivable that the Thunder will face the Rockets in the next second match. They sighed, and they would definitely give vent to them.
"The whole game, our state was not particularly full. But we have to say that our performance in the game is still remarkable. The players are very active, and most of the tactics laid out before the game have been played. Especially in the final moments of the game, we put tremendous pressure on the other side on the defensive end. But basketball is not a one-person sport. On the court, any point can kill the game, as long as they have the space and opportunity to shoot. There is no doubt that the Rockets have mobilized every player on the court. Through uninterrupted pick-and-rolls and screens, they can create opportunities for every player on the court. And this is nothing we can do."
　　 Donovan summarized the game after the game. He did not blame his players. And their performance was highly evaluated. As the head of the team, Westbrook is very firm and confident when facing reporters' questions.
"Losing the first game of the series made us feel quite frustrated. However, for the entire series, it was only one of them. The battle has already begun! We will keep going every night. In the best game state, we will do our best to never let something like this happen again tonight at the Chesapeake Energy Arena."
Anluo’s attitude is consistent with Westbrook: "This is a great game! There is no doubt that both sides played a wonderful performance. Of course, the final result is regrettable. I have to admit, Their performance is better than ours. However, this does not determine anything for the entire series. In my opinion, no one can beat us four times in a series this season!"

　　 In the second game, the trend and results were the same as everyone thought. The suffocating Thunder hit the strongest attack as soon as it came up. Under the leadership of Westbrook, Anlow and Paul George took turns to attack the Rockets' defense. Whether it is an inside breakthrough or an outside three-pointer, they have caused huge damage to the Rockets.
　　 At the end of the first quarter, the Thunder reached a double-digit lead. More importantly, this number became bigger and bigger in subsequent games.
　　 Harden’s feel is actually okay. UU reading www.uukanshu. com he made three three-pointers in the first quarter and hit 60%! But the hero can't hold up the crowd. In this game, Gordon didn't have such a good opportunity to help Harden! Maybe it was because the last robbery scene was too much, making Donovan afraid of him. From the second game, Donovan asked Paul George to defend him at the highest level. Chris Paul had the conditions to share Harden's pressure, but he seemed to have lost his sight. He even missed two or three of his best small hit and big back jumpers.
　　 By the third quarter, the Thunder's offense seemed to have been improved again. Especially Anluo, under Donovan's arrangement, he took almost all of the team's outside attack opportunities. With this "semi-finished" unlimited firepower, Anluo scored 22 points in the third quarter! Directly led the Thunder to open the points difference to more than 30.
　　 The huge point difference did not make D'Antoni give up the game. In the second half of the third quarter and throughout the fourth quarter, they attacked frantically.
　　 However, the Thunder did not care. In the crucial last quarter of the game, Donovan has always been the main force. It was only 3 minutes before the end of the game that the core players in the team were finally removed from the battle. At that time, although the points difference was narrowed by the opponent, it was too late.
　　 In the end, the Thunder defeated the Houston Rockets at home. They did what they said, and they pulled the big score back to the same starting line in a state where the whole team was almost running away. Unfortunately, they have lost their home court advantage. In the remaining five games, they only have two home games. However, iron strikes need to be hard. As long as he can play a strong fighting ability, it is not a big problem whether it is at home.
