Chapter 582 The 13th Pick Shooting Guard Heir
Back-to-back matches are difficult, and if the opponent is strong, it will be even more difficult.
After the game between the Thunder and the Nuggets, they immediately had to rush back to Oklahoma.Because the next night, they had to face the Clippers, fourth in the West.
If you want to select the most surprising team this season, it must be the Clippers!
Harris played the best season of his career, and he is expected to become a true All-Star player; "Italian Cannon" Gallinari seems to have finally been loaded with shells by the "Second Battalion Commander", and his output makes the Clippers' offense It has improved a lot; the defense of Bradley and Beverly has made them bloody; Harrell and Lu Wei have become bench gangsters who are drooling at the head coaches of the entire league...
There is no doubt that this "civilian" Clippers, under the leadership of Rivers, is becoming the focus of all the big players in the league.Especially those who are about to become free agents this summer!It can be said that the current Clippers can sign a superstar on the basis of basically not changing the original lineup.Complete the sublimation from a playoff team to a championship team in an instant.
Of course, that's all for later.
The Thunder, who lost to the Nuggets, don't want to lose to the Clippers again.If he loses to the teams behind him one after another, then the Thunder's reputation as the number one in the Western Conference will be gone!After all, losing to a strong team has a completely different meaning than losing to a weak team.
As soon as the game started, the Thunder fired with all their firepower.Under Westbrook's tandem, An Luo and Paul George fired in turn.Adams also succeeded at the basket.They played a 9:0 start.
The Clippers don't seem to be out of their slump yet.They have lost two games before this.Especially the 87:125 loss to the Spurs with 38 points in the last game was a big blow to them.Everyone was expecting the Clippers to bottom out, but unfortunately, they didn't perform so well in this game.Of course, they will not disarm and surrender as soon as they come up.
In the middle of the second quarter, after Gallinari made two consecutive hits, the Clippers led the score 48:47.This is the first time they have led and the last time they will lead.An Luo returned a three-pointer in the subsequent offense, and then Paul George made a steal and dunked.The Thunder completed the lead in an instant.
In the subsequent games, the Thunder has maintained the pressure on the Clippers.Especially on the defensive end.The Thunder's strong defense almost made the Clippers' players panic as soon as they received the ball!This can be seen from Westbrook's quasi-quadruple-double data of 13 points, 12 rebounds, 15 assists and 7 steals when he left the court in the fourth quarter.
A victory, no setbacks.The Thunder once again avoided the embarrassment of losing streak.For the defending champion, you can lose, but you can't lose consecutively!
After that, another wave of winning streak.
On December 12, the Thunder beat the Bulls 17:121 at home.Avenged the killing in Chicago a few days ago.The only pity is that LaVine missed the game due to injury. On December 96, the Thunder beat the Kings 12:19 away.Westbrook, An Luo and Paul George almost completed 132+ achievements at the same time.An Luo is only 122 point away!In this game, under the entanglement of Hilde's audience, he played very uncomfortable.In fact, An Luo had the opportunity to make another shot to accomplish this feat before the end of the game.But at that time the opponent had completely given up on defense, and he could only regret the next mistake.But this move won everyone's favor.
Two days later, the Thunder were a guest in Salt Lake City.This is their first visit to the city this season.Even though he has been here many times, An Luo still feels that the climate here makes him a little uncomfortable.
Before this game, the Thunder had won three in a row and the Jazz had won two in a row.The momentum of both sides is good, so the game is also inextricably played.
As soon as the game started, the Thunder fell into a disadvantage.
Rubio and Ingles fired from outside the three-point line one after another; Mitchell's tough breakthrough made An Luo very uncomfortable; Gobert relied on his height and length to overwhelm the inside.On the defensive end, Gobert guarded the basket, making it difficult for the Thunder to score in the penalty area.The rotation and defense changes at other points are quite active.The Thunder's outside line has almost never had a good chance.
It wasn't until the second half of the second quarter that the Thunder finally played their most familiar game rhythm.
The Thunder used their strong defense to force the Jazz players to make mistakes, creating opportunities for themselves to counterattack again and again.Most of these opportunities were converted into points under Westbrook's rapid advance, An Luo's precise strike and Adams' flexible cut.In the second quarter, the Thunder scored 40:29 and overtook the score in one fell swoop.
The third quarter is supposed to be a strong time for the Thunder.But in this game, most of the time has become a battle between two young shooting guards.
The confrontation between stars has gradually disappeared in the league.Now it's team basketball, solo every night, unless you're on a bad team.Otherwise, it is impossible.Therefore, in this quarter of the game, the two young people took the fans to recall the era of the "Big Four Shooting Guards".Moreover, there is a special connection between them.
In the draft, they were all No.13 picks, and the positions on the court were all shooting guards...
In the post-Kobe era, the 13th overall shooting guard is regarded as a kind of inheritance.There is a saying that goes like this: If you hold the No. 13 pick and don't know what to choose, then choose a shooting guard!This is an exclamation of Kobe's story.But in the past few years, it has really become an unexplainable phenomenon.
How amazing is the 13th overall shooting guard?
Zach LaVine, Devin Booker, Anlow, Donovan Mitchell
Not a single parallel import.Not only are they not watery, these guys are at least All-Star players.
These young people are regarded as another batch of heirs after the 13th overall shooting guard after Kobe.
Zach LaVine has the same gorgeous offense and cool skills as Kobe; Devin Booker has the same explosive scoring ability as Kobe; An Luo has the same excellent offense and tenacious defensive ability as Kobe; Donovan Mitchell has the same disobedient temperament as Kobe.
People can always see the shadows of the past in these players.But every one of them, if you compare them carefully, are far from each other.Therefore, whenever these guys meet together, they will be compared by people.
Before that, An Luo had experienced Booker VS An Luo twice, one loss and one win.Not long ago, LaVine VS Anluo was staged in Chicago. The former won the game and also won the direct dialogue between the two.Two days ago, when An Luo was trying his best to win back a victory, LaVine was absent!Now, it's Mitchell VS An Luo's turn.
"I won't lose!"
