With the whistle of the referee, the game in the second half of the second quarter began.
An Luo patted his hands vigorously, then straightened his jersey, and came to the left three-point line to drop down.In the next 7 minutes, Donovan gave him the task of scoring.Of course, this is something he is good at.
Westbrook crossed the halfway line with the ball, and Quicken Loans Arena was booed loudly.After a slight pause at the top of the arc, he accelerated towards the penalty area.Immediately, he flipped his bare feet, and his whole body was pulled from the right side to the left side, rubbing against George Hill's body.After the latter turned around, Westbrook was already one position ahead of him.Westbrook, who got rid of George Hill, went straight to the basket. TT didn't pounce on him to defend him, after all, there is still Adams standing under the basket and watching.However, he was still ready to block this attack.
Just as Westbrook burst in, An Luo and Paul George on the outside also acted.The two of them almost kept the same rhythm as Westbrook.It's just that one slipped to the right bottom corner along the three-point line, and the other circled around the left elbow, and cut out from the top of the arc with the cover of his teammates.
Westbrook didn't choose to end the offense himself.After all, it is still a bit difficult to advance the ball under the front and back attack of George Hill and TT.He leaned on the TT and looked like he was going to layup against the opponent, but he actually did a feint and a "No look pass" passed the ball to Paul George in the corner.After the latter received the ball, he quickly made a shooting action.But Le Fu, who pounced on him, was not shocked.In fact, if Paul George made a direct shot, Love might not be able to interfere with him.After losing the best shooting opportunity, this time the offense is not over yet.Now Paul George has two options.One is to break through the bottom line for a layup; the other is to pass the ball out and look for another chance to make a shot. After all, there is still enough time to attack.
At this time, An Luo used Robertson's cover to get rid of JR's follow-up defense, but instead of going to the bottom corner, he ran directly to the top of the arc.At that moment, James, who was closest to him, was nearly two meters away.Paul George passed the ball immediately, and after An Luo caught the ball, he pulled it up and threw the ball.James rushed forward quickly, stretching his right hand long.But the distance he took off was indeed a bit far, and it didn't have any interference effect.
"Shh!"
After hitting a three-pointer, the Thunder began their own counterattack.However, James responded immediately to An Luo's three-pointer.
The Cavaliers are still organized by George Hill holding the ball.When James is on the floor, though, he doesn't have much room to play.Just like now, George Hill advanced beyond the three-point line, tried a few times and found that he couldn't get rid of Westbrook's defense, and then gave the ball decisively to James.After receiving the ball, the latter immediately put on a three-threat posture. After observing the situation on the field, he suddenly stretched out his right leg and was about to thrust in.Paul George immediately stepped back when he saw the situation!Although it may be a fake move, he is very clear about the power of James' breakthrough and dare not neglect it in the slightest.
However, James really just tried it out.After seeing Paul George retreating, he immediately retracted his right leg, and then moved a small step back to the left to distance himself from Paul George.In the end, he pulled it up directly and threw the ball.
Don't look at James's retreat step is always only a small step, but it is really not easy to prevent it.Paul George had already pounced on him for the first time. His outstretched right hand was about to touch James' forehead, but he still couldn't stop the opponent's shot.Not only did it not prevent the opponent from shooting, but it also did not have much impact on the result of this ball.
"Shh!"
Hollow into the net!James' three-pointers are getting more and more accurate!In this game, he has scored three.After the goal was scored, he was very happy.He pointed at the fans in the Quicken Loans Arena, and ran to the backcourt to prepare for defense.These fans are happier!They shouted James' name loudly, and the latter's current performance is what they are most looking forward to.
Westbrook was not affected by the cheers that filled the air.He took the ball from Adams and quickly advanced to the frontcourt.This time, he still used his breakthrough ability to hit the basket.However, the Cavaliers' defense shrunk quickly.In this series, their defense has always been inside the three-point line.For the defense of An Luo and Paul George, they all used double-teaming to complete.
The breakthrough can't exert the greatest effect, and Westbrook doesn't want to force it.If the Thunder need him to rely on scoring, he will definitely rush in very resolutely, then layup, or draw a foul to get himself to the free throw line.But the current Thunder doesn't need him to do such a thing at all.Therefore, at the last moment when Westbrook jumped up, he still distributed the ball.
It was Robertson who received the ball, and he is now open.As long as he is on the court, the Cavaliers can freely free up manpower to double-team other Thunder players besides him.But this time, he made a move!
The basketball spun and flew to the basket.
"Snapped!"
The cast is wrong!
But the basketball didn't pop out.It hit the leading edge and bounced back toward the backboard.Then hit the rebound and came back again.After writing it down, the strength becomes much smaller, and it can't touch the edge of the basket, and it falls directly into the net bag!
Robertson's goal still surprised everyone.But then, An Luo and the others became very excited.They all know that Robertson has a three-pointer.Although it can't reach the level of An Luo and Paul George, it is quite accurate in normal training.
In the Thunder's starting lineup, if you want to find an imperfect point, it must be Robertson's outside offense.Over the years, people have forgotten how many times he has wasted open seats.Gradually, he didn't dare to vote anymore!
Now the problem comes to the Cavaliers.They have to figure out whether Roberson has a flash of inspiration or is able to score steadily from the outside.This has a huge impact on their defensive adjustments.
But for the Thunder, that would be too comfortable!Especially An Luo.He was always double-teamed and lost a lot of shots.And if Robertson feels better, the opponent must be distracted to restrict him.At that time, An Luo's chance will come!Once An Luo is freed, the game will be much easier!It is conceivable that Robertson's three-pointer had a huge impact on the situation of the game.The subsequent changes are very beneficial to the Thunder.
