Chapter 701 Snake Tail
An Luo waited for a while on the sidelines.In the last quarter of the game, the defense of both sides became tougher.
Leonard's breakthrough layup was blocked by Grant's slap. Paul George on the side had quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed the basketball, and passed it to Westbrook near the free throw line.The latter received the ball and accelerated to start, and began to launch a counterattack.
However, the Raptors retreated very quickly.Although Westbrook rushed to the basket quickly, he didn't have a good chance to complete the layup.Because Siakam followed him closely, and the opponent's height, wingspan and explosive power posed a great threat to him. Westbrook didn't want to get a big cap like Leonard.
Westbrook passes the ball to Ferguson on the right.Although Paul George at the free throw line is closer to the basket, he doesn't have room to shoot.Leonard's "death entanglement" has always enveloped Paul George.With only one Van Vleet around Ferguson, he can cause much less trouble than other Raptors players.
After Ferguson received the ball, he opened his hand and shot.Van Vleet immediately rushed forward, jumped up and reached out, trying to stop the ball.However, Ferguson just feinted.After Van Vleet threw the ball, he completed the take-off action at an extremely fast speed.
"boom!"
Unfortunately, the end result was not ideal.
Ferguson's technical characteristics are very similar to An Luo.Thunder had also tasted the sweetness of An Luo when they selected him in the first place, and wanted to try again.But it turns out that not everyone can do what An Luo did.Even if the opponent has good physical fitness and excellent shooting touch.However, Ferguson is not a parallel importer.As one of the Thunder's main substitute players, he averaged 16 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.4 steals in 1.2 minutes per game in the playoffs, which is quite qualified.
The rebound was grabbed by Leonard.Then, there was another fierce charge.Leonard slapped the ball and dove into the crowd.He doesn't have as many tossing and moving delicate skills as Westbrook, he just goes straight and goes straight to complete the layup against Grant, which is very tough!
After this goal, An Luo finally had a chance to play.After high-fiving Ferguson, he quickly ran to the three-point line, waiting for Westbrook to bring the ball.
Adams didn't go to the basket, he ran halfway and stopped directly at the top of the arc, and made a screen for Westbrook.However, Westbrook didn't score by himself.After he rushed in, he saw Gasol Jr. and Lowry double-teaming over. This kind of thing has been going on for a long time.Westbrook tossed the ball to Adams before being completely blocked.The latter held the basketball high, and after An Luo circled around, passed the ball over.
After receiving the ball, An Luo leaned next to Adams and took off to shoot.In this case, Danny Green has nothing to do.
95:98
As soon as Leonard equalized the score, An Luo pulled away again.However, only a 3-point lead is not an advantage.
Switching to the defensive end, An Luo stared at Danny Green.This already famous 3D player seems to have completely lost his 3 this season, leaving only D.In the first three rounds of the playoffs, he made a total of 5 three-pointers.Everyone originally thought that he would play out in the finals, just like he did in the Spurs a few years ago, helping the team win the championship from the Heat's Big Three.But now it seems that Danny Green has let everyone down.The fifth game is going to the last moment, and he still hasn't improved much.Even An Luo gave some defensive attention to Siakam and Leonard.Anyway, Danny Green is as good as it gets!
Unexpectedly, the person who saved the Raptors this night was none other than Danny Green who was criticized by everyone.
After Gasol covered Lowry's breakthrough, he stayed at the top of the arc.Adams also defended, after all, Gasol Jr. has made a lot of three-pointers in this position.However, this time Gasol did not make a shot.Lowry, who threw the ball to Gasol, followed Siakam's screen to get rid of Westbrook and ran to the bottom corner. After seeing Lowry running out of the open space, Gasol immediately passed the ball.Lowry received the basketball smoothly, but the Thunder's defense followed suit.There was Westbrook flying in front of him, and An Luo also took a step towards his position.
Lowry hastily passed the ball to Danny Green.The latter catches the ball and makes a quick shot.For a pitcher, no matter how many missed shots before, they are always full of confidence in themselves.
"Shh!"
The ball went in!Although An Luo returned to his defensive position immediately, for an excellent shooter, that space is enough.
98:98
The two sides tied.
There are about 6 minutes left in the game, and every next offensive and defensive round will have a huge impact on the outcome of the game.
Westbrook burst from the right 45 degrees to the basket and completed a layup against Siakam.Although the ball was not scored, it caused a foul by the opponent.However, his free throws were really not stable enough, and he missed both free throws.
Gasol grabs the rebound and throws a long, quarterback-style pass into Danny Green's hands.The latter raised his hand, then took a step to the side, letting An Luo fly past him, and easily hit the ball.
101:98
The Raptors overtook the score!
This made Thunder nervous all of a sudden.Once Danny Green opens this point, the Thunder's defense will be even more difficult.An Luo didn't dare to leave Danny Green to help defend other players, and the space inside the three-point line was suddenly opened up.Under such circumstances, Nas took the initiative to call a timeout and adjusted his tactics.
After returning from the timeout, Leonard and Siakam launched an extremely violent attack on the restricted area guarded by Adams. Coupled with Danny Green and Lowry watching from outside the three-point line, the Raptors' offense played a kind of helpless The momentum of resistance.
The Thunder have a chance to win this game. Even if they can't defend the opponent at the last moment, they can still win by relying on their own offense.It's a pity that the Thunder made several fatal mistakes and lost the victory to others.
Adams left the field with six fouls, the rebound was controlled by the Raptors, Grant's pass was blocked, and An Luo missed a key three-pointer...
In the end, the Thunder lost the game.
Compared with the first half of the game, the Thunder's performance in the last 5 points is really not outstanding.Although they fought hard, the Raptors played even harder.They were sent off three people in 4 minutes, and Westbrook and An Luo stood on the free throw line several times.But Danny Green and Leonard practiced their hands and contributed 4 priceless three-pointers, which established the victory.
