Chapter 613
Two overtime games, the Thunder have met twice this season!God seems to want to make up for all the overtime they didn't play last season.
After playing for 10 more minutes, the answer sheets handed in by the players naturally seemed very exaggerated!
Westbrook, who left the game with six fouls, only played 41 minutes in the entire game, the least played in the Thunder's starting lineup.Of course, this doesn't mean he's being lazy!In regular time, Westbrook played 39 minutes, which has exceeded his average playing time this season.In these 41 minutes, he surrendered a quasi-triple-double of 17 points, 9 rebounds, 23 assists and 3 steals.With 15 of 5 shots from the field, it can be seen that his offensive efficiency is very poor.However, his assists are still efficient.This season, Westbrook has had three games with 20 assists!The entire league is unique.
An Luo scored the highest score in the game.He played 48 minutes and scored 45 points!He made 25 of 18 shots and made 9 three-pointers alone.More importantly, among the 45 points, there was not a single free throw.This is really too rare for an All-Star player.What's more, half of An Luo's goals in this game were inside.
Just looking at Westbrook and An Luo, they are already an invincible backcourt combination!A needle thread, a precision strike.I don't know how many head coaches in the league envy Donovan.However, the MVP of this game is Paul George.
Paul George, who played up to 50 minutes, scored a triple-double.This is a very rare thing! 37 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks. This kind of data is naturally not a topic for Westbrook.But on Paul George, it would be very strange.In this game, Paul George turned into an all-round fighter, active on both ends of the offense and defense, which is the key to the Thunder's ability to persist until the end and still win.
一场比赛合砍99分22篮板36助攻10抢断！这三巨头的名号，怕是没有任何人再有异议。再把砍下19分13篮板4助攻5抢断的亚当斯加进来，四巨头也是实至名归。还有一个一防的罗伯森，雷霆这样的阵容，在全联盟也很难找出两支球队相媲美了！
The only disadvantage is still reflected in the bench.In the Thunder's current rotation, there is no one who can score stably, and no player who can be called the best sixth man.Two years ago, when An Luo was on the bench, he did one thing on the court-scoring.At that time, the Thunder's bench was not inferior to any team in the league.
But everything can't be cheap.Thunder now has the convenience of An Luo's co-worker contract to build such a lineup, and there is still room for reinforcement!Moreover, this is also something that makes Presti very headache.This year is An Luo's third year in the Thunder, and the "2+2" contract has only the last year left.Judging from the Thunder's current lineup structure, it is already unable to give An Luo a maximum salary contract.As for whether An Luo can accept a non-maximum salary contract, Presti never even thought about it!It is very likely that Harden's old incident will happen again!And An Luo's worth is definitely much higher than that of Harden.At that time, the difference will not be 600 million!
Of course, this is after the end of this season!What the Thunder need to consider now is how to securely win the second championship belonging to Oklahoma City.
The day after defeating the Jazz, the Chesapeake Energy Arena rekindled the battle.The Thunder have back-to-back home games against the Sacramento Kings.
This game was played very hard!The Thunder players who just played a double overtime game are very tired and in poor condition.Especially Paul George, who was the most active in the last game, had no touch in this game, and he hit the iron again and again.An Luo was better, but his state was still affected.He shot outside the entire game and basically didn't hit inside.Westbrook is just the opposite. In the last game, he had a bad touch and didn't shoot much.But this game has become the key to the Thunder.
At the beginning of the game, the Thunder were on the trailing side.At most, they trailed the Kings by 16 points!But in the second half of the third quarter, Westbrook led the Thunder players to hit a wave of 19:6 attacks, tying the score in one fell swoop.But in the last 2 minutes, the King's Hilde suddenly broke out and scored consecutive three-pointers, once again pulling the score to nearly double digits.
In the final quarter, the Thunder launched a crazy counterattack.Westbrook took the lead in the charge, and An Luo also acted as fire support from outside the three-point line.Finally, with 1 minute and 01 seconds left in the game, Westbrook rushed inside, "two plus one" was scored, and the two sides drew again.
After that, the king made a fatal mistake.Fox's breakthrough layup was slapped by Westbrook. After grabbing the rebound, Cauley-Stein immediately passed to Bogdalovich outside the three-point line.But the pass was too obvious and went straight into the arms of Paul George.Subsequently, Westbrook caught the ball and ran all the way, scoring a goal to overtake the score.Then, Barnes fouled Adams who was misplaced at the critical moment and got three free throws.At this time, there are only 4.1 seconds left in the game!Barnes could have ended the game with a free throw, but it turned out to be one of three free throws, which completely ruined the game.
Although Barnes only needs to score two free throws, the Kings can be invincible.But in that boos environment, the pressure on the players is too great!
In the end, the Thunder narrowly beat the King.With this undefeated momentum, the Thunder met the Nuggets for the third time.In the first two games, the Nuggets were superior.But this time, Thunder had the last laugh.Even if Jokic surrendered a large triple-double of 36 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, he could not stop the Thunder in an explosive state.
All February, they haven't lost a game.In the last match, you can't fall short.With the explosive Paul George, the stable An Luo and the calm Westbrook, this kind of Thunder is undoubtedly extremely difficult to defeat.
In this game, what the Thunder did best was defense.They almost blocked Murray, Harris and Button, the main scoring points of the Nuggets. Even if Jokic could score, he was still alone.
After the game with the Nuggets ended, the Thunder played the entire February game.This month, they maintained a record of unbeaten victories.Although there weren't many matches this month, the opponents Thunder faced were all very strong.The Celtics, Rockets, Trail Blazers, Jazz, and Nuggets are all strong teams in the playoffs.
