Chapter 522 The Key
Donovan's timeout played a very important role.He told An Luo and others during the timeout to stick to the established defensive strategy and strengthen the offense from the outside.Try not to fall behind in the attack, and wait for the opponent to have problems.After all, Thunderclap shouldn't be the first to worry about both sides on the field.
After returning from the timeout, the Thunder's offense accelerated.Their rotation has become faster, especially An Luo, who started his best off-ball running position.The whole person is like a shadow, shuttling through the crowd.
Westbrook controls the ball, keeping an eye on Anlow and Paul George.He knew very well in his heart that if he wanted to stabilize the situation in the fastest time and further widen the point difference from being approached by the Cavaliers, it would not work for him to lay up again and again.Even adding Adams wasn't enough.The offense outside the three-point line must be played to have a chance.
The first ball after the timeout was completed by An Luo.However, this goal is not his iconic three-pointer.When he received the ball at the top of the arc, he habitually took a step to the right.He thought that as long as JR moved a little, he would retreat and then shoot.But JR didn't follow the script in his heart.He didn't move with An Luo, but just made a gesture of catching up with him whenever he moved.This made An Luo a little confused!He had to take advantage of the trend to break into the inside line.Now An Luo is no stranger to breakthroughs, but he is still too familiar with three-pointers.However, An Luo adjusted quickly.After he burst in, he was soon overtaken by JR.He turned around, leaned his back against the opponent, and after pushing in hard twice, his left shoulder shook, then suddenly turned to the other side, and his body was slightly slanted and pulled up. JR quickly reached out to interfere, but with An Luo's height and wingspan, his interference had no effect.
"Shh!"
The ball went in!Fadeback jumper, one hit.
An Luo's mid-range is no worse than his three-pointer.It's just that people often ignore this point.His three-pointers are indeed too eye-catching.
With An Luo's goal, the Thunder's offense gradually found the outstanding performance they had in the third quarter.Especially when An Luo and Paul George started to speak, whether it was two points or three points, the point difference was opened up bit by bit.
With 4 minutes left in the third quarter, the Thunder once again led the point difference to double digits.But at this time, the situation on the court changed suddenly.The Cavaliers played a 2:10 offensive climax in just 2 minutes, which made the Thunder's efforts for most of the halftime in vain.And it is still JR Smith who leads this wave of rhythm!
He first rushed to the basket under the cover of James, and made a layup against Adams' defense.Then he received a pass from George Hill outside the three-point line and made a three-pointer.Especially for this three-pointer, JR made almost 90.00% of the contribution.
We have to start with defense.After JR made a layup, Westbrook took the ball from Adams and quickly advanced to the frontcourt.At this time, George Hill kept half a meter away from him.He is not afraid of Westbrook shooting three-pointers. In Tyronn Lue's tactics, letting Westbrook shoot three-pointers is the most successful defense.Westbrook burst in, George Hill stepped back, and the two came to the basket at an extremely fast speed.At this time, TT threw off Adams and joined the past.Westbrook originally wanted to hang the ball to Adams at the basket, but when he found that Paul George was in a better position, he passed it to Paul George in the right elbow.After the latter received the ball, when he was thinking about how to break through James' defense, he was taken aback by JR who was bypassing behind him.In a hurry, Paul George was about to pass the ball.But the ball was shot by JR before it was shot.With quick eyes and quick hands, James grabbed the flying basketball and threw it across the halfway line.At this time, George Hill was the fastest runner of the Cavaliers.He took the lead, but An Luo followed closely behind.The latter has always maintained a great defensive pressure, which made George Hill quite afraid.However, he caught a glimpse of JR not far behind him from the corner of his eye, so after crossing the free throw line, he took the ball out of the three-point line.
After JR Smith received the ball, he was unusually decisive, pulling up and shooting.This kind of unguarded open three-pointer is naturally easy for JR who feels so hot.
After this wave of rhythm, although the Thunder scored a goal by Adams, they did not change the point difference between the two sides in the rest of the third quarter.However, they finally entered the last quarter with a slight advantage of 2 points.
The status of the knight has improved very quickly.They continued their excellent performance in the second half of the third quarter in the fourth quarter. Although JR was not as crazy as in the third quarter, James, who paddled most of the game, stood up. JR's runaway was an accident, but James' performance was what everyone expected.As expected after the accident, it brought huge difficulties to Lei Ting.
The Cavaliers once led the Thunder by as many as 10 points in the fourth quarter!Although, it took them 12 minutes to go from 10 behind to 20 points ahead.But when James completed the transition with a super long three-pointer, all Cleveland people were excited.
However, the Thunder can occupy the top spot in the strength list for a long time, and its strength is beyond doubt.Donovan adjusted his tactics during the timeout, completely liberating An Luo and Paul George, rarely emphasizing defense.
Next, the two sides began a confrontation battle.The loose defense of the Thunder attracted the Cavaliers players to constantly break through to the penalty area to create kills.Turn around and they'll score a three-pointer.The Cavaliers' defense did not lower the standard, but An Luo and Paul George got more and better opportunities under the special care of other Thunder players.
一直打到离比赛结束还剩1分12秒的时候。保罗·乔治突破上篮造成TT犯规，两罚全中之后，将比分追到92：94。他们还差2分便可以追平比分！
Looking back, the Cavaliers attacked.At this time, the Cavaliers basically have the ball in James' hands.After spending time finding time at the top of the arc, he suddenly stepped back and made a three-pointer.
"boom!"
It was an unexpected shot, and the result was also surprising.You know, James' sudden step-back three-pointers have always been more accurate.And the farther the more accurate!
Westbrook flew up and grabbed the rebound over TT's head.He originally wanted to launch a counterattack directly, but he saw An Luo who was already close to the center line.Without the slightest hesitation, Westbrook threw the basketball beyond the three-point line on the other side with a right hand.
At this time, An Luo just ran beyond the three-point line.I have to say that Westbrook's passing is really good.An Luo caught it very comfortably, without any adjustments, he took off lightly, raised his hand and threw the ball.
