Chapter 690

The performance of the Raptors in the second half finally allowed more than [-] spectators in the Airline Center Stadium to see the Raptors they are familiar with.In fact, that's what was expected of this game before it even started.It is impossible for the Raptors to put themselves in a desperate situation anyway.After two quarters of slump, the audience has begun to pray.Fortunately, the Raptors got out of their low ebb, and the trend of the game is still developing in the direction everyone imagined.

But such a situation is very uncomfortable for the Thunder!They scored only 25 points in the third quarter, but the Raptors scored as many as 41 points.In just 12 minutes, they lost 16 points.Donovan felt helpless off the court.He made some adjustments, but the Raptors just bit An Luo and Paul George.Without the performance of these two people, the Thunder has always lacked someone who can stand up and score continuously.Westbrook has outstanding abilities, but if he really wants Westbrook to provoke everything, it is still a bit difficult.

Although the Raptors had the advantage in the third quarter, the holes they dug for themselves in the first two quarters were so great that they still trailed the Thunder by 16 points after winning 7 points in a single quarter.

No one would think that these 7 points will affect the final outcome of the game, but Donovan looked a little nervous.If it were any head coach, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to remain optimistic at this time.His emotions affected the players of the Thunder. Although they were still in the lead, they all looked downcast, as if they had lost the game.

Paul George sits in the seat and puts the towel over his face.His performance had just improved in the last game, but Leonard pressed him down again in this game.Westbrook wasn't in a very high mood, sitting there quietly listening to Donovan.In fact, in An Luo's view, there is no need to worry about this at all.Originally, this game couldn't have been so smooth, and it should be normal to be in this anxious state.Even if they are ten points behind, there is no need to be too nervous.There is still a full quarter of the game, twelve minutes, enough to do everything.What's more, they are ahead of each other.

"Guys, the way we are, the Oklahoma fans must think we've lost the game! But actually, we're ahead! We played so badly, but we're still ahead. We'll definitely be in the last quarter." If they performed better, how could they reverse the game? We can win! I always believe." An Luo saw that Westbrook didn't want to talk, so he stood in front of everyone and said loudly: "We can win! In these few Every night of the season, no matter where I am, I always believe we can win! We are the champions, we beat everyone last year! Now, we are going to do the same thing."

"Yes, we can win! We are the championship!"

Fortunately, someone responded to An Luo's words.Westbrook stood up, and he finally remembered what he needed to do at this time.

"Guys, we can win! For the championship, for OKC! Come on!"

"come on!"

……

Westbrook led the crowd to shout slogans, and the low momentum was finally pulled back a little.

In the fourth quarter of the game, the two sides deployed all the main players in a tacit understanding.Nurse wants to take advantage of the situation to reverse the disadvantage in one fell swoop, which Donovan knows very well.So he has no reservations.Even though Westbrook, An Luo and others didn't have a long rest in the third quarter, he still made such a decision.He knew very well that they had to restrain each other's overwhelming aura.Otherwise, the game will develop in a direction that is even more unfavorable to him.

With the referee's whistle, the game restarted.The Airline Center Gymnasium burst into cheers, and a fierce battle was about to break out.Westbrook launched the first offense with the ball.The Raptors' defensive strategy has not changed much. They still choose to block An Luo and Paul George, even if they will empty Westbrook.They even emptied Grant directly in many cases.In the game, many times you have to know how to make trade-offs.No matter how good the defense is, it's hard to limit everyone, let alone a team like the Thunder that has several All-Star players.Westbrook's scoring ability is not bad, but the efficiency is really not high.

The Raptors made up their minds to restrain An Luo and Paul George, and the Thunder didn't have a good way to deal with it.Westbrook can only rush inside with the ball, and then use his stiff jumper to end the offense!Although the Raptors' defense against him is much weaker than that of An Luo and Paul George, the opponent's penalty area is not a place where you can do whatever you want.

"Shh..."

A pull-up jumper and two more points.Westbrook has scored 25 points tonight.According to this rhythm, it is easy to break through 30 points.This is not a rare thing for An Luo, and it is not an exaggeration for Westbrook three seasons ago.But after the transformation, Westbrook scored 30 points in a game, which is very surprising.

Looking back, the Raptors made a three-pointer.Lowry passed the ball to Leonard who cut in from the right three-point line. After receiving the ball, he did not stop. Instead, Grant, who swayed away from the defense with a European step, continued to rush to the penalty area.

Everyone thought that Leonard would complete the layup, but when the Thunder's defensive strength shrank to the basket, he flicked his wrist and the basketball flew towards the three-point line.After Lowry received the ball, without waiting for Westbrook to approach, he jumped up and shot, and hit it.

Back and forth, the Raptors chased back a point.But the Thunder's more violent attack began again.

This section of the game is very anxious.You come and go, you play very well, but there has been no big wave of offense.The Raptors' offense is quite aggressive. As a team behind the score, they must be more active in finding opportunities.The Thunder's performance was much better than in the third quarter. They always maintained the lead. Although they were approached by the Raptors little by little, but before the critical moment, someone always stepped forward to stabilize the situation.Including An Luo and Paul George have made great contributions to this.

Until the last moment, the Thunder still maintained a 3-point advantage.However, the Raptors got one last chance to attack.

The game has once again reached the point where an offense is needed to determine the outcome, which is something that everyone did not expect.

Whether it is the Thunder or the Raptors, everyone is helpless.But An Luo was very excited.It seems to have returned to the moment when his three-pointer was blocked by Leonard a few days ago at the Chesapeake Energy Arena.
