Chapter 526

"Di~"

As the referee's whistle sounded, the starting players of both sides left their head coaches, came to the middle circle, settled down, and prepared for the upcoming game.

The soles of Adams' feet seemed to be stepping on a spring, and he jumped up directly.The TT on the opposite side took off almost at the same time as him, but he was not able to touch the basketball ahead of him.From the jump ball, the Thunder will have the upper hand.

The basketball was shot in Westbrook's direction.The latter jammed George Hill before controlling the ball.Then, Westbrook began to rush up.His speed is very fast. Although the Cavaliers players returned to their defensive positions immediately, this did not affect Westbrook's progress.He dodged left and right, and when the opponent's foothold was not stable, he rushed to the basket from the opponent's defensive gap, and finally scored the ball against TT.

This season, it's been rare to see Westbrook on his own early in a game.But judging from his eager performance, Westbrook is really worried about the last game!He took a deep breath.

After Westbrook's layup, the Chesapeake Energy Arena fans burst into laughter.Then, they can sit in their seats and watch the game with peace of mind.

Switching to the Cavaliers offense, George Hill is still holding the ball.Although it turns out that James is more threatening when he holds the ball, the Cavaliers need him in many cases.Therefore, if you can save a little energy during the game, save a little.Only in this way can we ensure that he can maintain a good enough state at critical moments.

George Hill tried to go in by himself. He feinted to the left from outside the three-point line, then immediately changed direction, squeezed past Westbrook first, and broke in to the right.However, George Hill's lead was only for this moment, and the latter immediately caught up.

Although George Hill couldn't get rid of Westbrook's defense, his actions still attracted the Thunder's defense.Seeing George Hill approaching his defensive area, Adams leaned towards him with his arms wide open.Seeing the situation, the latter dexterously circled the ball around Adams' waist and handed it to TT behind him.After the latter catches the ball, he jumps directly and is about to complete the layup.

But no one cheered his impending layup.Because, at the moment he took off, a figure suddenly appeared behind him.

Paul George rushed from the three-point line to the basket in the first time, then jumped high and slapped TT's outstretched right hand.Everyone was very surprised, only TT didn't notice even the slightest thing wrong!

"Snapped!"

The basketball that was just allocated by TT was slapped by Paul George and flew out.The basketball hit the backboard, rebounded and was grabbed by Westbrook.Then began Thunder's most classic counter-fast break.

Westbrook is not the one rushing to the front, An Luo is the one at the front.His position was already outside the three-point line, and the moment Westbrook forced a rebound, he immediately turned around and rushed towards the other side of the court!He was not worried about whether this attack would be terminated by himself.In Donovan's tactical arrangement, he, Paul George and Westbrook are the three points that must be kept up in the counterattack, no matter who takes the last basketball.

Therefore, in this counterattack, An Luo, Westbrook and Paul George ran towards the basket together, one in front and two behind.Along with them were George Hill and JR Smith of the Cavaliers.Five people became a group, leaving the other five people far away.

Two-on-three in the frontcourt, the Thunder are on the absolutely dominant side.George Hill followed Westbrook closely, JR followed Anlo, and Paul George, who was on par with Westbrook, was in an undefended position.So, Westbrook just gave him the ball when he was near the free throw line.

After Paul George received the ball, he could have shot it immediately from beyond the three-point line.But he didn't do that!He chose to break through and get close to the basket before scoring.There is nothing wrong with such a choice, but it does miss the best time.At the same time, it also gave JR and George Hill who chased the basket a chance to supplement their defense.

An Luo rushed all the way to the free throw line. Seeing that Westbrook didn't pass the ball to himself, he turned around and slipped out to the bottom corner along the baseline.At this time, Paul George has rushed in. Without hesitation, JR threw An Luo aside and rushed towards Paul George.

As if he already knew that the opponent would defend, Paul George flipped his right hand out, then pushed hard, and lightly stuffed the ball into the hands of An Luo who was emptied.The latter was already prepared, and shot immediately after catching the ball, very decisive and neat.

"Shh!"

The basketball flew straight into the basket, and An Luo succeeded with his first shot of the game!

5:0, the Thunder made a very good start through their active defense.

In the next 3 minutes or so, the Cavaliers did not make a sports attack. 12:2, the only two points for the Cavaliers, or James' breakthrough caused Robertson's foul, which was obtained by watching free throws.Thunder's defense is too tight!Coupled with the fact that this is their home court, some inconspicuous actions have greatly helped them, making their defense play a greater role.

It wasn't until the 5th minute of the game that the Cavaliers scored the first goal from Love.And after this ball, the Cavaliers' offense began to improve.But still unable to change the form of being beaten by the Thunder.

Throughout the first quarter, the Thunder were in an absolute lead.The cooperation of Westbrook and Adams made the Cavaliers' inside players in a dilemma, and An Luo and Paul George's mid-range and long-range shots made their defense even more torn apart.What makes them even more uncomfortable is that the Thunder's offense does not seem to have been affected.Their defense looked as aggressive as it had been in previous games, but they just couldn't stop the Thunder players from scoring.

Throughout the first quarter, only Paul George and Adams rested for 3 minutes on the Thunder side, and the other three starters were always on the court.Under this kind of strategic deployment that almost went all out, the Thunder took a huge lead. When they were the most, they widened the point difference to 21 points!

When Paul George rested later, James finally relaxed a little.It was during that period of time that the Cavaliers finally played out their best offense.Moreover, the lagging score was pulled back a bit.
