Vol 3 Chapter 523: All ready

"OKC..."
"OKC..."
"OKC..."
...
Before the game started, the Chesapeake Energy Arena began chanting slogans. Of course, it is still the familiar taste.
I have to say that Westbrook's three-pointer sucks. He was next to An Luo, after making two consecutive three-point shots, he rushed to the basket with the ball. Westbrook is very fast, like a cheetah, rushing to the basket in the blink of an eye. Then, he exerted force with his legs and rose into the sky. After rotating his body three hundred and sixty degrees in the air, he dunked the ball with his right arm in a round.
Although not in the game, but Westbrook's dunk still made the Thunder fans present cheered. The mascot, wearing the same commemorative shirt as the spectators, ran around the court holding the Thunder flag, and the cheerleading girls all left the court. The referees exchanged information about the game with the staff of the technical table.
All this shows: the game is about to start.
"OK! The game has started. The starting players of both sides are on the court. It seems that they are all old faces. The Thunder is still a lineup of the Big Three plus Adams and Grant. Both offense and defense, and this lineup has always been Has a very stable combat effectiveness. The Raptors have not changed, Lowry, Danny Green, Leonard, Siakam and Gasol Jr."
"This game is great! The Raptors must be desperate. They can't afford to lose anymore! We all know that the Raptors only have the right to use Leonard for one year. He basically won't stay in Toronto. This season, he should play for Los Angeles. Therefore, this year is the year when the Raptors have the best chance of winning the championship. If they fail, far away Toronto doesn’t know when they can wait for a superstar to join. There is no superstar. , They have no chance to rush out of the east.
"The Thunder will definitely go all out. They definitely don't want to go to Toronto to play another game. We can feel that the atmosphere of the Chesapeake Energy Arena is very warm, and the enthusiasm of the fans can be felt across the screen. To."
"In any case, this game will be a very fierce competition. An Luo now..."
"Okay, the game has begun! Adams and Gasol Jr. stood on the middle circle. The two have competed for several games. From the middle circle to the penalty zone, they are basically on par..."
The basketball was shot by Gasol to his teammates, Siakam caught Grant first, and then controlled the ball. With a step of his thigh, he rushed towards his basket with the ball.
With Siakam's charge, the other Raptors rushed to their offensive area at the fastest speed, and the Thunder's defense quickly retreated back. The fifth confrontation between the two sides began.
After Siakam rushed up, his momentum was very fierce. However, Grant chased fiercely. Although he is one position behind the opponent, with his height and wingspan, as long as Siakam rushes to layup, he has great confidence to cover it.
However, the two sides are old opponents who have fought for several games, and the accounts are well understood. After Siakam rushed across the free throw line, he suddenly accelerated again, and then a drawbar pushed the ball to the basket from under Adams's armpit, who had defended the past.
"Beep..."
Westbrook flew high and grabbed the rebound. But the referee blew the whistle in his mouth.
Adams defensive foul!
Siakam got two free throws!
Westbrook looked puzzled. It's not that he was puzzled because Adams was called a foul. After all, in that position, the two collided together, and the defender was very likely to be called a foul. He just didn't understand why the referee's whistle rang so late. From the time Siakam and Adams collided, to when Westbrook grabbed the rebound and prepared to counterattack, it took at least 3 seconds. If one second later, Westbrook would have crossed the center line!
At the urging of the referee, Westbrook handed the ball to the opponent, and then shrugged at An Luo. In this game, the referee's whistle should ring very frequently.
Siakam stood on the free throw line, faced the boos of the sky, and steadily threw the ball into the basket.
2:0
The Raptors in the away game took the lead in the score. However, the Thunder immediately changed one.
Westbrook brought the ball to the top of the arc, and the Raptors' defense has been opened. Three more people stood on the three-point line, with Gasol and Siakam guarding the inside. Westbrook didn't even think about it. After a cross step, he accelerated to break through the opponent's line of defense. Lowry saw that he could not stop Anro from scoring with following, so he exchanged positions with Siakam and handed Westbrook to Siakam.
Although compared to Siakam, Westbrook is at a disadvantage in terms of height and wingspan, but he wants to end this offense, but it is not difficult.
After Westbrook accelerated, he appeared in front of Siakam in an instant. Before the latter pounced on it, he had already spared a European step. However, Westbrook did not make a move. Of course it was not that he didn't want to. After he walked around, he faced the young Gasol who was ready to go. However, when Gasol focused his attention on Westbrook, the latter had already completed a beautiful air pick. After Westbrook went around and threw the ball from behind, Adams flew up and pressed the ball to the basket.
2:2
Just after Westbrook and Adams completed this air pick-up, the Chesapeake Energy Arena suddenly sounded a fierce "OKC" shout.
Immediately afterwards, Leonard used a teammate's off-ball screen from the right three-point line to get rid of Paul George and cut to the elbow zone. Little Gasol seemed to be equipped with navigation, passing the basketball accurately, with a good grasp of time and vision.
After Leonard received the ball, he took a step forward and then directly took off and hit a clean mid-range.
Switching to the offensive end again, Westbrook still thrust in. But this time he found An Luo who got out of the crowd and passed the ball to An Luo's hands. The latter took the ball and shot it without delay for one second.
"Huh..."
4:5
Basketball hollow into the net! The Thunder took the lead for the first time in the game.
An Luo just scored the ball here, but it has already been delivered over there. The two sides raced against the clock from the beginning, and both wanted to score before the opponent's defense was formed. But the Thunder were clearly prepared for everything. They had already begun to retreat when the basketball got into the net.
