Vol 3 Chapter 515: Win in the way you do best

"Huh!"
The goal is scored! The score became 6:0. The Thunder in the away game, under Anluo's two three-pointers, opened a wonderful start to the game.
After walking a few steps on the sidelines, Nas sat back on the sidelines. He may want to call a timeout, but less than 1 minute has passed since the game, there is no need to be so nervous.
Lowry held the ball and advanced to the top of the arc. He observed it, and the Thunder formed a 2-1-2 defensive formation. The Thunder's players are very evenly distributed, Anlow and Westbrook are at 45-degree angles on both sides, Paul George is at the top of the arc and the free throw area, Adams and Grant shrink inside. This kind of defense is the basic form of regional defense. The defensive formation can be changed freely, which is conducive to the control of the hinterland. It can control the rebound and immediately launch a fast attack. But the weakness is also obvious. Such a defensive formation does not have strong control over the corners on both sides.
As a veteran in the league for many years, Lowry is very familiar with this kind of defense. So, he knows what he should do, not only him, but 3D players like Danny Green also know what to do. At the same time Lowry reached out to call for cover, Danny Green also started to run. Siakam, Leonard and Gasol are all moving in a small range. Driven by Lowry, the entire Raptors started to operate according to the tactics set by Nas. Gasol's screen gave Lowry a chance to get close to the basket, but he couldn't score. Although Adams pulled out, but left a more flexible Grant in the inside, the Thunder's defensive replacement was very well connected, and there was no opportunity for the Raptors. After completing the pick-and-roll, Gasol retreated to the three-point line. In that position, he made several three-pointers in the previous game. But Adams was close to him, so there was no chance.
The Thunder's defense has always been their key weapon to win the game. Just when Lowry was about to forcefully end this attack, he saw Leonard waving at the elbow for the ball. The latter just got rid of Paul George's entanglement with the off-ball screen, and Lowry didn't hesitate to smash the ball from the floor.
Lowry passed the ball quite beautifully, passing directly between Grant and Paul George who was chasing him. Leonard caught the ball while on the move and completed a layup very comfortably.
6:2
The ball won huge cheers, and the huge maple leaf flag on the stands was waved layer after layer. It can be seen that the fans at home are very excited! Such a game is indeed worthy of their excitement. Other Eastern teams reaching the finals represent the entire Eastern Conference in the Western Conference. Unlike the Raptors, they not only represent the 15 Eastern teams, but also the entire Canadian professional basketball. As a "young" team that has played in the league for more than 20 years, the Raptors are better known as their home court. As the only team outside of the United States, it is already the flag of the NBA, the highest stage of professional basketball in the world, outside the United States. Its existence makes everyone know that the NBA is not only for the United States, but also for the world.
Like all teams, the championship is always their ultimate goal and a goal they have been pursuing. But Torontons have never won a championship. They approached countless times, but fell on the road countless times.
Tonight’s game is the first in the Raptors’ history to play in the finals at home. Therefore, basketball fans from almost all of Canada have gathered in this city. When Anluo entered the field, he saw a group of people gathered outside the arena. There was a huge screen. It is said that the Raptors management and team staff came from afar and could not enter. The stadium was temporarily built by fans to watch the game.
Tens of thousands of Canadians are eager to reap a victory. However, the Thunder is not here to witness others make history.
An Luo played only 7 minutes in the first quarter, and he played in two stages. But his appearance is too explosive! Scored 19 points in a single quarter. All shots came from outside the three-point line. He made 6 of 7 shots and included a three plus one. With that ball, he had already been hit by Danny Green and his whole person was almost completely out of balance. He threw the ball with one hand and hit the basket. Even the on-site commentary was amazed: this is a balloon, but luck alone is not enough to drop it.
No one has to worry about An Luo's luck too much, everyone is frightened by his scoring efficiency. Close to 90% of the three-pointers shot, too shocking. Under Anluo's runaway, the Thunder scored 42 points in the first quarter. At the same time, they also led their opponents by 12 points.
In the second quarter, the Thunder extended their lead to 20 points. But in this quarter, An Luo's performance was not as eye-catching as the first quarter. The drop in field goal percentage and the Raptors' targeting of him ~EbookFREE.me~ led to more opportunities in the hands of Paul George and Westbrook.
The Raptors deserved to be the team that could hardly knock down the next victory at the Thunder's home court. They rushed to catch up after being 20 points behind at halftime. After a quarter and a half, they finally saw a glimmer of victory.
With 5 minutes left in the game, An Luo, the last of the Thunder's Big Three, to be on the bench, finally went into battle again. He played the entire third quarter. Although he was not as good as the first quarter, he also scored 12 points, but he still failed to prevent the Raptors from approaching the score.
115: 111
The lead reached 22 points and was chased to only 4 points. The atmosphere on the scene ignited to the climax, and the number one fan of the Raptors, Derek, had already started an impromptu performance on the sidelines. Everyone believes that this Raptors led by Nas can beat the defending champion.
The suspense of the game was quickly killed! An Luo, who wanted to kill the Raptors in the first quarter, is back! He led the Thunder to play an 18:5 tempo, directly pulling the lead once again to nearly 20 points. In these 18 points, Anluo personally contributed three three-pointers: receiving teammates to cover the shot, CROSSOVER shook Danny Green, and stepped back to meet Leonard. Every ball is clean and tidy, and a fatal blow.
The Raptors fought until the last second, but to no avail, they eventually lost to the Thunder 124:140.
The winning thunder is naturally a laugh. Especially An Luo, he felt that he finally sighed! He believes that he can help the team win the game in the last game, if there is no block. But for the tens of thousands of Raptors fans inside and outside the Airline Center Stadium, this is not a good night.
