Chapter 622 Radical Beverly
Every playoffs, the atmosphere in Oklahoma City will improve a lot.Even the Chesapeake Energy Arena, known as the "Devil's Home Stadium", will become more enthusiastic.
With about an hour before the start of the game, the fans had already arrived.Everyone put on the dark blue commemorative shirts that the arena staff put on the backs of the seats, and the arena suddenly became a vast ocean.After a lapse of one year, the Thunder once again embarked on the road to the championship.Although Oklahoma City already had its own championship last season, no team has too many of these things.No matter when, it is the ultimate goal of all teams in this league.
Players from both sides have already entered the field, each doing their final warm-up on the field.The referees also began to communicate with the technical platform.The game is about to start.
At this time, whether the Thunder will overturn with the two brothers in the East has become the most concerned thing for countless NBA fans.It would be very interesting if the Thunder also overturned the car.
With the appearance of the double starters, the game officially begins!
On the Thunder side, there are still the Big Three plus Adams and Grant.The Clippers' starting lineup is not much different from what Donovan speculated before the playoffs.The three guards of Beverly, Shamet, and Alexander plus Gallinari and Zubac.Lu Wei and Harrell, who performed well, still came off the bench.This arrangement is very thoughtful.Let these two guys let go of their hands and feet to score. If they are placed in the starting lineup, both Lu Wei and Harrell will fall into the Thunder's defense and consume their energy in vain.
At the jump ball, Zubac helped the Clippers win the first possession of the game.Beverley advances the ball beyond the three-point line and hands it to Gallinari.In fact, in the current lineup of the Clippers, in most cases, they can only go to Gallinari.Alexander and Shamet, while good, are ultimately too young.Zubac and Beverly, their own ability to attack independently is very average.After Gallinari got the ball, Paul George posted it.Without Robertson, Paul George will appear in front of the opponent's main scorer in many cases.
After a few turns, Gallinari found it impossible to escape Paul George's defense.Quickly pass the ball to Beverly who is standing outside the three-point line at the top of the arc.But Westbrook made a seemingly risky grab and intercepted the ball.Although Beverly entangled him for the first time, Westbrook still passed the ball to Paul George on the side for the first time.The latter caught the ball and rushed to his basket immediately.An Luo and Westbrook acted with him.But the one with the best chance was An Luo, and Alexander, who was closest to him, was still a few feet away.Paul George brought the ball in front of the three-point line and was entangled by the Clippers' Shamet.Without hesitation, he slammed the ball on the floor with his right hand and handed it to An Luo.After the latter received the ball, he rushed directly to the basket, kicked his left leg hard, flew up, and succeeded in dunking with one arm.
The Chesapeake Energy Arena immediately boiled.The audience did not sit directly in their seats, but jumped and jumped in the stands, so happy.An Luo dunked in the opening game, but it was the first time in the past three years.
Rivers watched from the sidelines hopping.The first goal in the opening game was scored by the opponent's steal and counterattack, which was unbearable for him.You know, the Clippers, after being completely civilianized, rely on that fierce defense.Especially the starting lineup, the Clippers players headed by Beverly, showed a desperate energy on defense, which caused a lot of headaches for many teams.
Attack again, Beverly is still holding the ball.In fact, in this Clippers team, there has always been a qualified No. [-] position.Moreover, this is also a very difficult problem to solve.After playing a pick-and-roll with Zubac at the top of the key, Beverley got the ball out of the arc on his way to the rim.However, Beverly's intentions in this move were too obvious.Although he successfully passed the ball to Gallinari, but with Paul George's inseparable defense, he still couldn't make the shot in the first place.But Shamet's timely pick-and-roll allowed Gallinari to get rid of Paul George's defense.Immediately, he took a big step to the right, and raised his hand to meet Grant who was switching defenses, and hit a three-pointer!
"This Italian cannon really lives up to its reputation!"
Seeing Gallinari's neat movements, An Luo was startled.In this league, there are many players who average close to 20 points per game. Although they cannot provoke a team and are not very eye-catching, they are really very powerful.
Compared with Rivers, Donovan appears much calmer.Although Grant's defense seems to have no problem, it is still a bit slow in the face of a pitcher like Gallinari.For such players, a little space can give them a chance to score.
2:3, the Clippers responded very resolutely.
Westbrook advanced with the ball again, this time, he swayed Shamet away from the three-point line.Zubac, who was originally staying at the basket, was taken out of the inside by Adams, giving Westbrook a very comfortable breakthrough space.But just as Westbrook went in for a layup, Beverley sprinted toward him.Then he jumped up and slapped Westbrook's basketball out of bounds in the air.Because it was too aggressive, the impact of the body was completely uncontrollable, and even himself and Westbrook fell off the court.
It's a dangerous move, as dangerous to Westbrook as it is to Beverley himself.
Westbrook got up quickly, furious!He found the referee immediately.Fortunately, he was looking for a referee. If he was looking for Beverly, there might be a conflict right away.After all, these two people have festivals!Westbrook's serious injury back then was caused by Beverly!
After repeated replay confirmation, the referee gave the Thunder a frontcourt ball.Although Beverly's movement was a bit big, he did make up the defense, and his hand also slapped the basketball.After the penalty came out, the boos in the arena were very violent.The fans were unhappy with Beverley, and they were also unhappy with the referees.
In fact, in this game, Beverley was not responsible for marking Westbrook.He was facing Paul George.It's not that Rivers is crazy!Although Beverly is indeed at a disadvantage in terms of height, his desperate energy is very suitable for defending the opponent's arrow figures.
