Chapter 710 Despair
When Westbrook took the ball to the three-point line, it wasn't the Thunder who were nervous.
The entire Chesapeake Energy Arena was boiling. The shout of "OKC" was earth-shattering, and that kind of strong sound could blow the arena apart.An Luo settled on the left side first for the three-pointer. At this moment, he didn't start running.Donovan's tactics, he must try to minimize the attractiveness on the court.Let Westbrook, Paul George or even Adams and Grant go on offense.He felt like a killer hiding in the shadows, waiting for his chance to strike.
Danny Green is extremely nervous now.In the last round, he was the one who emptied An Luo, and the opponent made a key three-pointer.This time, he decided that even if Paul George made an open shot, he would not "nosy".Of course, Danny Green didn't feel that he had done anything wrong.If Westbrook or Grant made that shot, he wouldn't feel a little bit uncomfortable.But An Luo was the one he was marking, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
Time is very important to the Thunder, so he must complete this attack with the fastest action.So, at the center line, he reached out and called Adams for a screen.The latter also understood what Westbrook meant, stopped at the top of the arc, and made a pick-and-roll for Westbrook.Westbrook rushed into the inside line under the cover of Adams. He accelerated directly and passed Gasol Jr. who had switched defenses in one step.Seeing that Westbrook was about to complete a layup, Siakam rushed to the basket.With his height and wingspan, it is really difficult for Westbrook to score.
However, Westbrook has better options.After Siakam came to the basket, Grant on the left baseline had no defense.Westbrook leapt up, tossing the ball in the air while continuing to draw the attention of the Raptors' defense.After receiving the basketball, Grant took a shot on the spot, adjusted his position, and then threw the ball against Gasol's long arm.
It was an unplanned shot by Donovan.But at the time, he was the best positional player on the Thunder.
Everyone must do their best to win.Everyone wants to be a hero.Now that the opportunity had appeared before him, Grant would naturally not miss it.Gasol Jr. may have been too impatient, and when he reached out to interfere, he patted Grant's arm directly.Although many physical confrontation referees would not blow it in the subsequent stage, this foul was too obvious.What's more, this is the Thunder's home court.
"Di!"
"boom……"
"Shh!"
At the moment when the referee's whistle sounded, two different voices came out of the loudspeaker.The former made everyone in Thunder feel sorry, while the latter surprised everyone.
Although Grant was hit in the arm by Gasol Jr., he still threw the ball.The thrown basketball hit the edge of the basket first, but Grant's strength was not too strong, and the bounced basketball fell back to the basket again.
Two plus one!
Westbrook and An Luo rushed towards Grant almost at the same time, and they hugged him very happily.
Grant, who stood on the free throw line, took the basketball thrown by the referee, took two shots on the spot, raised his hand and threw it to the basket.At that moment, the Chesapeake Energy Arena was very quiet. After this goal was scored, the point difference would become two points.
"Shh!"
The ball went in!Gasol quickly threw the ball to Lowry standing on the center line.He wanted to take advantage of Lei Ting's triumphant moment to fight a blitzkrieg.Unfortunately, Westbrook blocked Lowry's fast break.He always sticks to the opponent's body and maintains a great defensive deterrence.Lowry can only pass the ball to his teammates. At such a critical moment, he must not take risks.
Leonard received a pass from Lowry from beyond the three-point line. He swayed away from Paul George with a cross step, and directly pulled up a three-pointer.For such a ball, Leonard is very sure.
But what a pity!This ball, he did not succeed.Paul George did a good job this time!Although he was shaken away by Leonard, he did not give up interfering with Leonard.At the moment the opponent jumped up and shot, he also jumped up at the same time, then twisted his body in the air, and slapped the basketball that was about to fly out.
"Snapped!"
Leonard's ball was shot by Paul George and flew out!Paul George, who was suppressed by Leon Ander for the entire series, blocked the opponent's most critical shot!
Westbrook has quick eyes and quick hands, and grabbed the basketball shot by Paul George into his arms.He didn't rush up immediately.Don't be in a hurry at this time, any mistake may make the previous efforts go to waste.Even though, Thunder is best at playing fast break.
Westbrook still used Adams' cover to rush to the basket.This is a conspiracy, and the Raptors also know that Westbrook can't score a layup by himself to a large extent, but they can't help it.Everyone knows Westbrook's scoring ability at the basket. At this time, no one dares to let him go to the basket.
Sure enough, everything behind it was as everyone expected, and Westbrook once again chose to pass the ball.As soon as the Raptors' defense got close to Westbrook, he passed the ball back to Adams at the top of the key.After Adams received the ball, he lifted the ball up with both hands and passed it out.
Paul George had already rushed from the right three-point line to the top of the arc before Westbrook passed the ball. He used Adams' off-ball screen to shake off Leonard who was following him.The Raptors did not choose to switch defenses. Leonard bypassed Adams at the fastest speed, but in the end it was a slow shot and lost the best defensive position.Paul George didn't stop, he sprinted to the corner around the three-point line.In that place, apart from Danny Green, there is no Raptors player.At this moment, An Luo took the initiative to run towards Paul George.His 45-degree position helped Paul George block the chasing Leonard.At this time, it is unrealistic for Leonard to go around and catch up with Paul George. Danny Green can only switch defenses.The moment he left An Luo, Paul George ran back and got stuck in front of An Luo, directly blocking Danny Green and Leonard from the bottom corner.
At this time, Adams passed the ball to An Luo, who caught the ball and shot it in one go.
Everything is as if it has been rehearsed.Seeing the flying basketball, everyone in the Raptors was desperate!
