Chapter 702

The Thunder's loss at home is regrettable, and they are only 5 points away from the defending championship.The Raptors completed the reversal in the last few minutes.The tenacious fighting spirit they showed at the last moment made the entire Oklahoma eclipsed.

Donovan spoke highly of the Raptors after the game.Especially for Leonard and Danny Green, the two old Spurs, he praised him to the sky.It seems impossible for the Raptors not to win the game.To praise one's opponent is to praise oneself.Donovan also spoke highly of his players' performance.Of course, he didn't shy away from those mistakes in the final stage.

"It's a great pity that we didn't win the O'Brien Trophy at the Chesapeake Energy Arena. We had chances to seal the victory a few times, and we also launched a very fierce attack, but the opponent was tenacious. Resisted. We didn't control the mistakes well and gave the opponent some opportunities. They seized and converted our mistakes into points. They did better than us in this regard. There is no doubt that they deserved this game victory."

Of course, Donovan is still full of confidence in the next game.In his eyes, there is not much difference between 3:2 and 3:1.The initiative of the entire series is still in the hands of the Thunder, and the championship seems to be within easy reach.

"The next game may be more difficult than tonight, but we will prepare and win the game. After all, we have quite experience in beating the Raptors in Toronto. Everyone knows that a few days We won two games in Toronto a while ago. We've won a lot of games in Toronto over the years."

Donovan said it with momentum, but the next game in Toronto was surprising.It can be said that from the beginning to the end, the Thunder did not play the momentum of the defending champion.On the contrary, the Raptors are more open, not as restrained as the Thunder.

When he came to Toronto again, An Luo felt like going back in time.The same is that both times they just lost the game at home.The difference is that everyone is not as eager as last time.Now that the Thunder are leading the opponent by a large margin, without any worries, they will definitely be able to deal with the game more calmly.

Many times, in a series, the team that is behind tends to work harder, work harder, and play more distinctively than the team that is ahead.After all, you are already at a disadvantage, and if you don't do better, you will have no chance to come back.

The Raptors did a great job against the Thunder in Game [-] of the Finals.The Raptors players who returned to their home court completely let go of their hands and feet.They focused on their own rhythm and gave the Thunder a bad start from the very beginning.

Danny Green seems to have opened up the two lines of Ren and Du in the last game, and he suddenly found the feeling he had in the finals a few years ago.At the beginning of the game, he made a three-pointer against An Luo's defense.Although it took An Luo some time to bypass Gasol Jr., he rushed over in time, which still gave Danny Green a great disturbance.

The Raptors took the lead and were extremely imposing.However, Thunder responded immediately.

Westbrook rushed inside, drew the Raptors to double-team him, and passed the ball to Grant.After the latter received the ball, he decisively threw the ball in before Siakam returned to the defense.

Subsequently, Leonard cut into the inside from outside the three-point line on the right, received a pass from Lowry in the elbow area, took advantage of the situation to hit the basket, forced a layup against Grant, and scored two points.

On the Thunder's side, An Luo received the ball in the left corner. Although he still shot the ball under the interference of the opponent, Danny Green's defense disrupted his shooting rhythm and wasted this good opportunity.

Turning around, the Raptors made another three-pointer.

After Leonard grabbed the rebound, he took the ball across the center line and went straight to the three-point line.He pressed the time, and suddenly took a big step back to the left.This action immediately attracted the Thunder's defensive attention.Paul George naturally clung to it, and Adams, Grant and others also began to shrink towards the basket at that moment.Everyone felt that Leonard was going to make a move.In fact, he did make a shot.But at the last minute, Leonard gave the ball to Danny Green in the bottom corner.

At this time, although An Luo was standing in front of Danny Green, like other Thunder players, he was paying attention to Leonard's shooting.

In the last few seconds, the basketball came to Danny Green's hands, and there was only one result, and that was the shot.

"Shh!"

The ball went in again!

2:8

The Raptors performed very well in the first and a half minutes after the start of the game.

Donovan frowned watching from the sidelines.Although the start was unfavorable, he was not particularly worried.He believes that these players have the ability to deal with the problems at hand.

It's a pity that the Thunder's players failed his trust and didn't solve this problem until the end of the game.Moreover, they are falling behind more and more.

An Luo's touch is not very good. He even had two shots that were forced by Danny Green to turn into passes.

Westbrook was under a tighter defense than the previous game.Whenever he gets the ball close to the [-]-point line, he gets double-teamed by Lowry and the closest players, causing him to make a turnover or not only that, they try to cut him off from the rest of the Thunder, allowing Wes Brook fell into the middle of the boundless individual singles.

Paul George is not much better than Westbrook.Every breakthrough has to wrestle with at least two people.It's easier from beyond the arc, but he's also missing his shot.

Other players are in a much better situation, after all, the Thunder's Big Three have attracted most of the defensive attention.It's a pity that apart from these three players, the Thunder couldn't find a relatively stable scoring point.

The Raptors' defense made it difficult for the Thunder's offense, but their own offense was not affected too much.Gasol Jr. pulled to the outside line and stood at the top of the arc.If Adams follows up, the Thunder's penalty area will be unguarded; if he doesn't follow up, it will be difficult for the Thunder to find someone to replace him to guard Gasol.Lowry, Leonard and Siakam kept rushing towards the Thunder's penalty area.They are all capable strikers, causing great trouble for the Thunder.

Until the end of the third quarter, the score of the two sides became 72:93.Thunder ahead, Raptors behind.

In the last quarter, the Raptors, with Gasol Jr. and Danny Green as the core, combined with Lowry, Leonard and Siakam, scored 9 three-pointers in this quarter, completely overpowering the Thunder's counterattack. The flames went out.
