Chapter 687

The Thunder beat the Raptors in Toronto, which immediately set off a huge storm in the league.

Of course, the Thunder's ability to beat the Raptors is not a particularly unexpected thing.After all, although the defending champion's dominance this season has dropped a bit, it is still invincible.However, the Raptors, who entered the finals for the first time, showed not bad combat effectiveness.Being able to win a victory in Oklahoma is enough to prove this point.

But the full firepower of the Thunder still made other teams in this league feel a sense of powerlessness.Offense wins, defense wins championships, this is an eternal truth in the NBA.The Raptors' defense is definitely no worse than the rest of the 29 teams, including the Thunder.Moreover, their performance in this game is not bad.But even with this defense, the Thunder scored 48 points in 140 minutes.The Thunder's scoring ability is really too strong.

If such a score was placed ten years ago, I am afraid that such a score would only appear in the All-Star Game.In the playoffs, there are often more than 80 points and 90 points, not to mention the most intense finals. It is normal for the scores of both sides to add up to 140 points.Even in this era of faster rhythm and more advocacy of offense, it is an extremely exaggerated figure.Not to mention the finals, not to mention the playoffs, even in the regular season, if more than 140 points were scored in regular time, it would be enough to cause a storm.

An Luo was undoubtedly the most dazzling one this night.He scored 32 points in only 46 minutes!30 of those points came from beyond the three-point line.Going in more or less is second, An Luo's super high hit rate is the most amazing thing.To score these 10 three-pointers, he only took 13 shots.At the same time, An Luo also broke the record of three-pointers in a single game in the finals held by Ray Allen.Ray Allen scored 2010 three-pointers in the second game of the 8 Finals, and An Luo has now improved this record by a large margin.

In fact, it is difficult to surprise fans anymore with An Luo's performance outside the three-point line.Everyone is used to his "abnormal" performance every night.On the contrary, the ball blocked by Leonard in the last game is more interesting.It was also because everyone paid too much attention to his abnormality that An Luo felt that he should play well.Of course, he himself cared about that ball very much.It's just that he didn't expect that he seemed to "exert too much force" and directly broke the record of the finals.

Fortunately, people's attention once again focused on An Luo's three-pointer.An Luo himself was very happy about this. When facing the reporter, his emotions were beyond words.

"I actually had no idea how many [-]s I'd made during the game. My coaches and teammates told me they believed in me making those shots. God forbid, I didn't let them down ...Of course, it's very exciting to be able to break a record. It's a good feeling. It's very exciting for any player to be able to leave his name in the history of the league Things. I am very happy to be a part of it.”

No single victory can be attributed to a single individual.Even if An Luo's performance in this game is indeed the key factor for the Raptors' loss, the performance of other players is also very important.

Westbrook's performance is also very eye-catching.His points are not many, only 22 points.But as many as 21 assists still let everyone see the demeanor of the assist king.Of course, for a superstar who once played 20+20+20 data, such data is not particularly amazing.But it must be said that this is the finals.There are very few in NBA history who can do this.Anyone who can do it, everyone is famous.

"I don't care how many assists I sent, how many rebounds I grabbed, and how many points I scored. The only thing I care about is whether we can win the game. In order to win the game, I can do everything." Westbrook said I once expressed my heart in front of reporters: "My teammates are the same as me. Our goal is very clear, that is to win the game. My teammates and I help each other in the game, work together, and do our best for this goal. Very Fortunately, I can play in such a good team. We can bear the loss together, but prefer to enjoy the joy of victory together..."

Paul George's state in this game has recovered.He surrendered 17 points, 28 rebounds, 7 assists, 6 steals and 3 block in 1 shots, making great contributions on both offense and defense.Like the previous two games, he still failed to completely limit Leonard.But the damage the opponent caused to Thunder was basically redeemed by him.This is also an important reason why the Raptors still lost the game by a big score when Siakam, Gasol Jr., Ibaka, Van Vleet and others played well.

Anyone who has watched the game knows that Leonard has actually tried his best.He played 41 minutes, scored 34 points, plus 11 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. He has always dominated the matchup with Paul George.However, Thunder's firepower is too strong!This allowed them to score more than 120 points and lose the game.

The only problem with the Raptors is that no one can restrain An Luo.In addition to Danny Green, Nas also tried to let Siakam mark An Luo, but to no avail.A three-point shooter who has all kinds of tricks is really a bug in the game.

"We have tried our best tonight, and all the players have worked hard to win." At the press conference, Nas looked helpless.When asked about his opinion on the game, he shook his head and said: "The only problem is that there is no scoring that can limit Ann. But what I want to say is that we tried our best! He is like a team Insanely sharp arrow, able to take any opportunity and make those shots. The Thunder are a terrible opponent, and Ahn is the most formidable one. Next, I think we should seriously think about how to limit Ahn's shooting. "

"As for the state of the next game, we are not too worried. We will go all out to win the next game, although he is difficult. But, that can't stop us. After all, we have played enough Tianwangshan The battle is over..."

When Donovan said these words to the reporter, his expression was calm.His words are very plain, but every word and every sentence expresses an unparalleled fighting spirit.The momentum of the defending champion can be seen at a glance.
