Vol 3 Chapter 487: Feng Shui turns


The second game in Oakland is by far the most exciting game of the entire series between the Thunder and the Warriors.
Adams still failed to play. However, he can already participate in pre-match training with the team. Judging from his state, he can already appear in the game. This is a rare piece of good news for the Thunder. Without Adams' guard inside, the Thunder really played very hard. However, for tonight's game, the Thunder still have to count on Noel to withstand the opponent.
The good thing is that Noel did a good job this night. Although he didn't hit the very two-eyed data, he played a five-to-five open against Rooney on both offense and defense.
As soon as the Thunder came up, they played more aggressively, as if they were the one behind. Especially on the offensive end, Anluo and Paul George shot from left to right, firing in turn, in very good form.
Donovan still gave An Luo the privilege of taking action at any time. In the last two quarters of the last game, An Luo obtained this privilege, which greatly improved the Thunder's offense. If it weren't for Curry, they would have a good chance of winning the game. In that game, Curry, who had just come back, felt so hot! Normal defense simply cannot stop him.
An Luo in this game is very similar to Curry in the previous game.
At the beginning of the game, the Thunder took the lead in attacking. The ball was still in Westbrook's hands. He took the ball to the top of the arc without hurriedly. Anlow and Paul George were separated from each other. In the first round, everyone was still testing each other. The Warriors' players are also in their respective positions. Thompson stood in front of An Luo and Rooney guarded the basket. From the standpoint of position, the Warriors are still defending.
Westbrook swung Curry away with a cross step and went inside. He was extremely fast, but he rushed directly into the encirclement of Rooney and Green. However, Westbrook did not choose to score like the previous game. He leaned on Green, holding the ball in his right hand and passed it from the gap between the two to An Luo, who was standing beyond the left three-point line. The latter caught the ball, shook Thompson away with a tentative step, then quickly withdrew a step back, pulled up and threw the ball.
"Huh..."
The basketball crossed the sky and entered the net accurately.
An Luo's shot speed is no slower than Curry. The vote is also very accurate!
3:0, the thunder took the lead.
Looking back, Durant responded in the right elbow. The Warriors did not actually find Durant the first time. Curry's performance in the last game conquered everyone and also conquered Cole. Therefore, their first choice for offense in this game is Curry. However, Curry is no longer in the state he had two days ago. He tried from outside the three-point line, but hit the edge of the basket under the interference of Westbrook's defense. However, the rebound was snatched by Rooney. After he grabbed the rebound, he made up for the rebound. Did not score! Noel got up from behind him and slapped the ball off the court.
The Thunder's defense is very tough. Rooney's goal, Noel has missed the best defensive position. But he didn't give up, and successfully defended it. Westbrook's defense against Curry was also very good.
The Warriors sent the ball again, and after switching several times, they failed to find a shot. At the last moment, Green passed the ball to Durant, who was standing on the right elbow. After the latter received the ball, he leaned back and shot against Paul George. With his height and wingspan, even a player like Paul George is powerless.
The arc of the basketball flying out is very high, but the trajectory is very accurate.
After the goal was scored, the score became 3:2.
But this score was quickly opened by the Thunder, and they played a very strong offense. It was An Luo who made the first goal that led the Thunder into the offensive wave.
After Durant made a two-pointer, Noel quickly sent the ball to Westbrook. The latter rushed beyond the three-point line. Although Westbrook's fast break was blocked by Green, the Warriors' defense was indeed slower. An Luo ran after Westbrook and easily scored a chasing three-pointer. When Westbrook passed the ball back, Thompson was still on his way back to defense. In the game, the more active side will always get more opportunities.
Next, An Luo began his own scoring performance.
Outside the three-point line, whether it is receiving the ball or attacking with the ball, he can shoot the ball. Thompson's defense is actually good, but it just can't limit Anlow's scoring. Several times, his hands reached An Luo's face. But An Luo was able to throw the ball. Not only is it a three-pointer, An Luo's non-stop running without the ball allows him to often get the opportunity to cut to the basket. An Luo seized these opportunities and got a lot of points.
By the end of the first half, the Thunder had achieved a double-digit lead. UU reading www. uukanshu.com
However, they have not been able to maintain such a lead to the end. The so-called Feng Shui took turns, the Thunder led by two quarters, and it was the Warriors' turn in the second half. In the third quarter, the Warriors tied the score under a wave of offense. Durant's performance is crucial, but in the final analysis, it is because of the poor combat effectiveness of the Thunder bench. Iguodala and Livingston continued their outstanding performance in the previous game. The state of these two veterans is indeed not very good this season, but at a critical time, they still did not disappoint the fans.
Donovan can only make his main lineup appear on the court as much as possible. In fact, compared with last year, the playing time of Anluo and others has increased a lot. Donovan is not a coach who squeezes the main players, and he really has nothing to do. No one is available on the bench, which is a problem that the Thunder has always had. In the regular season, this is not particularly obvious. But in the playoffs, the Thunder were greatly restricted because of this.
In fact, the Thunder's bench has changed a lot this season. Except for Kanter, Ferguson, Felton and Diallo, they are all replaced. However, they have never found the kind of stable contribution player. Ferguson has not performed well this season and Diarra is still too young. Kanter's strengths and weaknesses are too obvious, as soon as he goes up, he basically gives up most of the inside defense. Felton's role is still the same. An occasional bright spot can give Westbrook a few more minutes of rest. Burton, who joined the Thunder this season, broke out a few games, but it was a flash in the pan.
Presti had nothing to do. He wanted to get Donovan some useful players back, but the capital in his hand limited his thinking. You know, Thunder is still paying a lot of luxury taxes!
