Vol 3 Chapter 687: Houstonian

"Super Heavy Gun ( to find the latest chapter!
The Thunder's winning streak stopped in Game 4, and at the same time, they also lost the first place in the Western Conference.
Now leading the West is the Denver Nuggets. They have not lost a game so far, and the five-game winning streak is the longest winning streak among all teams so far this season.
Originally, the Thunder was hopeful that they would compete with the Nuggets for this record. After all, in their fifth game, they faced the Trailblazers after a back-to-back battle. But the result is surprising! Lillard used an ultra-long three-pointer to prevent his team from losing streak and, by the way, helped the Nuggets reach the top of the West.
For any team, in a long season, losing is bound to happen. Stronger than the Warriors and Bulls, they still lost a lot of games in their most successful season. No team is rushing to win the 82 regular season games in each season, and losing is an integral part of a successful season.
Regarding this point, naturally no one is too entangled.
If it’s the seventh game of the playoffs, losing the game might make the Thunder fans sad, and Donovan and his players will definitely be under tremendous pressure from public opinion, but this is just a regular season. .
However, on the Internet, there are still many comments that are not friendly to him.
For example, some people think that the Thunder began to "wave" after a big lead, and did not respect the Trailblazers. They thought they had the chance to win, but they were killed. Some people think that Donovan's defensive arrangements in the subsequent moments are very poor. Since he knows what kind of player Lillard is, he does not arrange double teams, which is also an arrogant performance. What's more, the reason for the Thunder's lore was attributed to An Luo. They believed that An Luo's defense was not as strong as everyone said, and it became true when he met a real superstar.
There are many interesting arguments. The consequence of these statements and remarks is that An Luo, who was originally a little unconvinced, became a little angry after seeing these. However, he does not like to express his views on the Internet, and he has no habit of "debating" directly with the other party.
Regarding the problem of basketball, just use basketball to solve it. This is An Luo's style. Since you are angry on the court, you have to vent it on the court.
However, he must not wait for the next time he meets the Blazers.
Ever since, Thunder's next opponent will be sad!
On the first day of November 2019, the Thunder visited Houston to welcome their sixth game of the season.
Anluo has always believed that winning the game in this city is a matter of course. After all, since the NCAA, he has won too many games in Houston! Every time he came to Houston to play, An Luo played especially comfortable. It seems that the ball he throws here can always find the right focus and smoothly fall into the Nets. The opponents can't do anything about it, and their defense poses no threat to An Luo.
This game is no exception.
At the beginning of the game, An Luo entered the scoring mode.
Adams helped the Thunder get the ball for the first offense. Westbrook quickly advanced to the top of the arc and matched Adams with a classic pick-and-roll. However, after Adams received the ball, he was resisted by Paul. As a veteran of this alliance, Sao Paulo not only has a proficient small-handed and large-scale technique, but also has a lot of experience when it is small and big.
Adams didn't come hard, the corner of his eye glanced at An Luo, who was moving from the right elbow to the bottom corner, and then simply threw the ball over.
The basketball slid across the heads of several players and was caught by An Luo. Then, he caught the opposing team's defense and threw the ball decisively.
"Huh!"
3:0
The Thunder in the away game took the lead.
Subsequently, Paul assisted Capela to complete an empty dunk in response. But before the cheers from the Toyota Center fell, An Luo made another three-pointer.
This ball was a time gap for the Thunder. When Capela made a dunk, Adams retreated to the bottom line and sent the ball to Westbrook. The latter took the ball and threw it directly to the already in the center. An Luo is ready at a 45-degree angle outside the left three-point line. The Houstonians did not react at all and could only watch An Luo throw the ball in.
Subsequently, under Westbrook's combing, Gallinari and Adams also participated in the offense. Anlo attracted Sao Paulo's defense because of his two three-pointers, but he did not only serve as an auxiliary to contain the opponent's defense as before.
Three-pointers, European step layup, air cut layup, backward jumper...
An Luo is like playing in the finals ~EbookFREE.me~ used all his best to lead the Thunder to establish an advantage.
After the first quarter, the Thunder led the opponent by 8 points with 36:28.
In the second quarter, the Thunder's offensive continued unabated. Especially An Luo, after a few minutes of rest, he partnered with Alexander to bully the opponent's rotation again. Had it not been for Gordon's outstanding performance in this period of time, An Luo could set the game in the first half.
In the second half, D'Antoni put out a five-small lineup. Harden, Paul, and Gordon’s three strongest scoring points all played, and Tucker went straight to the fifth position. In fact, in the past two seasons, the five small lineups have gone down the altar, but D'Antoni has gone further and further on this road.
In the beginning, Thunder was indeed staggered by the opponent's change. However, Donovan reacted quickly. He let the faster Noel replace Adams, taking the Thunder's unlimited defense to the extreme. On the offensive end, he completely unbuckled An Luo. Through frequent screens and Anlor's excellent off-the-ball running ability to find holes in Houston's defense, and then score.
The situation of the game soon returned to the more favorable side of the Thunder. As the gap between the two sides gets bigger and bigger, the Houstonians gradually enter the singles mode. D'Antoni seemed to be at a loss for such a situation, and could only stand on the sidelines with his hands in his arms and watch Harden, Gordon and Paul take turns charging.
I have to say that the abilities of these guys are really strong. If they choose to go hard, the Thunder really don't have a good way to stop it. However, An Luo's output on the offensive end is enough to fight these guys.
By the end of the third quarter, the score between the two sides was fixed at 96:81. Once again, the Thunder entered the final quarter with a double-digit score.
