The Thunder used their own attitude to prove that the loss to Phoenix was nothing more than an accident.Like a fierce tiger, occasionally, it still squints for a while.
Although the process of fighting against the Trail Blazers was not smooth, but in the face of setbacks, Thunder used its actual actions to let people see their abilities.Although the Blazers lacked Lillard, the players played well.Three of their players have scored more than 20 points. CJ McCollum had 3 points and 27 assists, Shabazz Napier had 7 points and 21 rebounds, Joseph Nukic had 5 points and 20 rebounds, Al Aminu also had 8 points and grabbed a 10 rebounds.
而雷霆的球员更加的出色。威斯布鲁克几乎打出三双，得了22分、12次助攻和9个篮板，保罗·乔治22分，安洛29分5个抢断，斯蒂芬·亚当斯16分6个篮板。
So, they became the final winners.The only pity is that Terrence Ferguson, who had performed well before, was very poor in this game. In nearly 20 minutes of playing time, he did not score a point and instead committed 6 fouls.It can be seen that he especially wants to play double-eye performance on the defensive end.But many times it was too aggressive, resulting in many unnecessary fouls.
But the end result is gratifying.
What makes everyone most happy is that when the team is at a disadvantage and cannot attack, the team's defense has not been affected.At critical moments, someone stands up to help the team tide over the difficulties. This is the temperament of a strong team.
After a game in Oklahoma, the Thunder scrambled to another road trip.
On January 1, after a game against the Trail Blazers in Portland, they met the Minnesota Timberwolves again.
This time, Thunder finally stumbled.
In fact, the two teams played very anxiously in the first half.Judging from the situation, the Thunder's players are not exhausted due to back-to-back reasons.Instead, as soon as he came up, he turned against the guest and played a wave of strong offense.
In the first 3 minutes of the first quarter, Westbrook and Adams performed continuous pick-and-roll cooperation at high positions, catching the opponent by surprise.Although Towns' talent is very strong, he still lacks some experience and enthusiasm on the defensive end.
However, Butler then led several young Timberwolves to launch a strong counterattack.He first received Teague's turning ball in the right elbow area, and he slid directly to the baseline to make a strong move.Although Adams and Paul George's front and rear pincers have blocked almost all layup routes, Butler pulled the bar sharply and hit the board.
Jimmy Butler, that's what he does.When the opportunity is good, he generally does not make a move.With that energy, it is better to defend.Perhaps, that would show his tougher side even more.
Next, he catches the ball on the right again.But Paul George and Grant bet him straight to the corner.This time he couldn't fly even with wings.But Gibson, who was emptied, got a chance. After he caught the ball, he pulled it up and it was a jumper.
The Thunder seems to have suddenly lost power during this period of time. Except for Westbrook's sudden victory, other times, there is no fight at all.As a result, after 12:0, the Timberwolves returned a wave of 13:2.
Next, the two teams fell into a tug of war.It's like a turn-based game, you play a wave, I play a wave.The Thunder scored 32:28 in the first quarter, and the Timberwolves also scored 32:28 in the second quarter.As if it had been discussed in advance, the cooperation was seamless.
However, in the second half of the game, the Thunder's situation took a sharp turn for the worse.
In the third quarter, the Timberwolves strengthened their defense.Under the leadership of Butler, the young people in Minnesota have reversed their previous appearance of "three collapses of wolves" and played quite tough.They have been looking for physical confrontation, and even an off-ball player like An Luo has not gotten rid of it.After the Timberwolves entangled for half a quarter of the game, the Thunder's players finally showed signs of exhaustion.The back-to-back sequelae once again limited the performance of these players.
After An Luo made a three-pointer, the Thunder led the Timberwolves by 71 point 70:1.But this was the last time they took the lead in this game.
Subsequently, the Timberwolves played a 17:4 attack wave, widening the gap by 87:75.
This wave of attacks was very deadly.The Thunder failed to find an offensive rhythm in the last few minutes.They scored just 15 points in the third quarter.Although half of the game was played by the substitute lineup, the state is still too bad.
In fact, the Thunder still have a chance to reverse.After all, they are only 12 points behind.But Donovan was too cautious in arranging troops again.He was initially denied Westbrook and Anlo.So lost the best opportunity to chase points.
Of course, for Donovan, his vision is no longer limited to a certain current game.The health of the players has always been an important reason for his formation.
No one blames the Thunder for back-to-back losses.Under such a schedule, some teams have already started to rest players.But Donovan didn't do that. He still put his players on the field and didn't choose to give up the game.
After two days of rest, the revived Thunder easily defeated the Hornets led by Kemba Walker in Charlotte.Then back to the Chesapeake Energy Arena, another bang beat the Sacramento Kings and Los Angeles Lakers.
However, the team's three-game winning streak is not what Thunder fans are most concerned about.
Before the game between the Thunder and the Kings, the NBA officially announced the final results of the fan voting for the 2018 Los Angeles All-Star Game.
In the fan voting, James became the king of votes again, with a total of 2638294 votes.Antetokounmpo came in second with 2530211 votes.Curry came in third with 2379494 votes.Durant finished fourth with 2238406 votes.Owen ranked fifth with 5 votes.Ginobili got 2170833 votes, ranking sixth.
An Luo worked hard in the future, and finally ranked 1605984th with 10 votes.But in the Western backcourt, it is still behind Curry, Harden and Westbrook.
A starter is out of the question.An Luo can only hope that those head coaches will select him as a substitute.
During this period of time, what NBA fans are paying attention to and discussing is the All-Star.
As far as the Thunder are concerned, Westbrook basically missed the start.This season, the Thunder's record is indeed very good, but Westbrook has sacrificed too much.Compared with Harden, his statistics are much worse.Moreover, the Rockets' record doesn't have to be much worse than the Thunder's.As for Curry, the popularity is too high.
