Chapter 695 I hope this is the last battle
The Raptors' offense is fast, and the Thunder's retreat is not slow.Westbrook rushed across the center line quickly, and then stuck tightly in front of Lowry's right. Lowry could only slow down and wait for the support of his teammates.
Donovan put up a 2-3 defense formation, but Paul George's position was slightly inward.Among the Raptors players, whether it is Lowry, Leonard or Siakam, their breakthrough ability is very good.In every game, Adams and Grant are under a lot of pressure.Therefore, Paul George not only has to keep an eye on Leonard, but must also be ready to support the basket at all times.
Lowry withdrew from the free throw line to outside the three-point line, and the fast break was obviously impossible.Thunder has built its own defense, he must reorganize the offense.
Danny Green ran from the right bottom corner around the three-point line to the top of the arc. He wanted to use Gasol's cover to get rid of An Luo's defense, and then get a chance to catch and shoot.It's a pity that the Thunder now switch defenses as soon as they encounter a screen.When An Luo bumped into Gasol Jr., Grant, who had already switched defenses, blocked Danny Green in front of him, while An Luo was close to Gasol Jr..
Grant's post defense made Danny Green no chance to catch the ball.However, Danny Green's running position still provided some help to the Raptors' offense.Lowry, who had already rushed to the basket, saw Gasol facing An Luo, and passed the ball directly to the opponent.Big and small, especially when Gasol still has a three-pointer, An Luo is difficult to defend.
Small and strong, he is born at a disadvantage in terms of physical condition and confrontation, and naturally needs some other means to make up for it.Before meeting the Raptors, An Luo rarely encountered the situation of going to the opponent's big center, but this does not mean that he has no choice.He pressed his knee against the bend of Gasol's leg, hindering the opponent's strength.Put your left hand on the opponent's waist, grabbing and twisting it from time to time, the movements are very subtle.The right hand kept slapping the basketball in the opponent's hand. An Luo's stealing ability was very powerful, and Gasol didn't dare to be careless at all.
In An Luo's view, how to make the opponent feel sick, then how to defend.
Gasol's right foot was the axis, and his left foot kept tapping the ground a few times.But his turn did not shake An Luo, although he was still able to throw the ball, but it was very reluctant.Therefore, Gasol Jr. chose to pass the ball.He raised his head high, then threw his right arm hard, lobbed the ball to the basket, and gave it to Siakam.The latter caught the ball and hit Adams behind him, then took a step forward, then turned over and jumped, leaned back and threw the ball.
Siakam made this shot very reluctantly.His position is actually not good enough, but time has not allowed him to think more, even if the pass is passed, the player who catches the ball can only make a hasty shot.
"boom!"
The basketball hit the base of the rim and bounced high.At this time, the role of Adams staying at the basket is reflected.Adams, who has a height advantage, easily pocketed the rebound, then swung his right hand vigorously, and threw the ball beyond the three-point line.An Luo and Paul George started almost at the same time, one left and one right, running towards their own basket.
Paul George charges with the ball. His speed is not as fast as Westbrook, but his impact is stronger.Leonard followed closely, and it was impossible for him to let Paul George easily score the ball.But Paul George didn't seem to see Leonard, he rushed across the free throw line on his own, rushed to the basket, and finally exerted strength with his left leg, soaring directly into the sky.
Leonard followed and flew up. He stretched out his long arms and moved towards the basketball racket in Paul George's hand.Just when the palm and the basketball were about to meet, Paul George suddenly retracted his right hand, and then backhanded the ball from Leonard's waist to the floor behind the two.
An Luo followed closely behind.Generally in this situation, he doesn't have to rush to the basket, he just needs to wait outside the three-point line.However, once he slows down, Danny Green will entangle him, and there will be no chance at that time.So An Luo kept running forward, always keeping a distance of more than one figure from Danny Green.
For An Luo, opportunities always pop up.This time is no exception.He caught the rebounding basketball while he was running at a high speed, and then stepped on the floor with a single step, exerting force suddenly, his whole body seemed to be stepped on a spring, and he rose into the air.He switched the ball to his right hand in the air, then slammed a big windmill and pressed the ball into the basket.
Boom!
An extremely wonderful cooperation, a very explosive dunk.The Chesapeake Energy Arena suddenly boiled.Everyone was very excited.Dunking is the thing that can most boost morale and drive the atmosphere, let alone An Luo, a shooting guard who doesn't dunk very much.
An Luo himself was also very excited.He loves dunking, and that's a well-known fact in the Thunder.Whenever he was training, he would pull Westbrook and Paul George to practice some cool moves.Occasionally a dunk or two is taken at the chance during a game, but it's never enough.As long as there is a chance, An Luo will not give up.
After slapping Paul George in the middle circle, An Luo stood in front of Danny Green with the excitement after the dunk, preparing for the next defense.
This single dunk did not affect the Raptors' offense.Lowry rushed to the basket under the cover of Gasol, and after a circle, he distributed the ball to Leonard in the right elbow.After Leonard received the ball, he raised his hand and shook it. Although Paul George was not completely shaken, he followed Leonard's movement and took a step to the left.It was this step that gave Leonard a chance.I saw that he immediately took a step to the right, pulled up and threw the ball.
"Shh!"
The ball went in!Leonard's midrange is as accurate as ever.Although he is not like Durant who is misplaced when he hits everyone, and has an advantage when he hits everyone, but it is not particularly difficult when facing Paul George.
The offense of both sides played very efficiently.And whether it's the Raptors or the Thunder, every player on the court has contributed his strength while also performing very well.
The scores climbed alternately, and no one fell behind.No one can predict which direction this game will go.
During the official timeout, An Luo sat on a chair and panted heavily.He is really tired!The offense needs to constantly get rid of the defenders one after another, and the defense must also be ready to deal with the opponent's players in every position.
