Chapter 297 The Second Battle

Chapter 297 The Fourth Battle

The last chance was not particularly good. When the ball reached An Luo's hands, time was almost running out.

But he finally threw the ball out.Although the posture is very awkward!But this three-pointer really shocked the people on the scene.Especially the nearly [-] Jazz fans, their hearts were raised in their throats.

As soon as the ball is released, time is up.

An Luo, who fell on the ground, didn't get up immediately.The Thunder players around him didn't try to pull him up immediately.All eyes were on the orange ball that was spinning and flying towards the basket.

"boom!"

The ball didn't go in!

But everyone still couldn't let go of their suspended hearts.The basketball that hit the front of the rim bounced high and fell towards the rim again.

At that moment, the entire arena was silent.But then, there was a huge cheer!

The dropped basketball hit the edge of the basket again and bounced out.Then it flew out of the range of the basket.

An Luo, who had been staring at the basketball with his upper body upright, lay directly on the floor.Very disappointed!

This isn't the first time he's made a clutch shot.This ball is not the first key ball he missed.But he was still very unwilling.Who wouldn't want to be a hero who defeats powerful enemies by himself?And in such an important game.However, this is really a rare experience for a young man who has not yet reached the age of 20.

During the jazz's carnival, An Luo took the hands of Westbrook and Adams and stood up.Just like the first missed shot, when he hugged Westbrook, he said with great regret: "Sorry! Russell. I messed up your assist again."

"Dude! It's nothing. Next time, I'll pass it on to you."

Patting An Luo's butt, Westbrook turned to the Jazz players who were celebrating.If you lose this game, you lose, and there is no way to change the result now.But throughout the series, they still had the upper hand.

At the post-match press conference, there was naturally another war of words.Regarding the choice of the last offense, they felt that it was not the best choice to shoot three-pointers for Anlow Westbrook.

Westbrook can burst in.In fact, Oladipo should have burst in that time.After all, they are only 1 point behind.No matter how you look at it, neither of the two three-point shots at the last moment was the best choice.

These guys understand everything, but they just don't understand. Since they can understand things, will Donovan not understand?Will the Jazz's coaching staff not understand?Is it so easy to accomplish something that everyone knows well?

After picking up his mood, An Luo ushered in the fourth playoff game of his career.

Before the game, they had received news that the defensive gate Gobert, who had missed the first three games due to injury, would return in this game.

I still remember that during the regular season, a reporter asked Westbrook how to deal with Gobert's defense.But the latter just laughed and dealt with it.Now, another reporter asked him the same question:

Russell, does Gobert's return bother you?How would you respond to his defense?

"He's a great defender, but it doesn't bother me. I just put that shit ball in the rim during the game. No one can stop me!"

After Gobert came back, the Jazz have indeed been greatly improved.Coupled with the victory in the last game, they now feel quite imposing.

After Thunder missed the lore at the last minute of the last game, they were all suffocating, each of them was ready to go, and they could not wait to fight the opponent for another [-] rounds immediately.

The victory of this game is very important to both sides.

It would be a little easier for the Thunder if they lost.At most, the lead obtained in the first two games was wiped out, allowing the opponent to show momentum.The following games became relatively more difficult.But this is not fatal to them who have the home court advantage.

If the Jazz lose this game, they will really stand on the edge of a cliff.So they have to win.

Coming to this well-like arena again, what An Luo felt was an even more noisy environment.The victory in the last game not only brought confidence to the Jazz players, but also ignited the arrogance of the Jazz fans.Those fans roared hysterically, even mixed with some unfriendly words.An Luo felt like a fighting beast, and the almost crazy spectators in the stands could rush down and kill him at any time.

Gobert, who returned to the game, looked very excited.He sat on the bench for two games in a row, but he was suffocated!So much so that when warming up before the game, he also played a dunk show with his teammates.

An Luo silently shot three-pointers. In these few games, he has been looking for the shooting state of the regular season.But the effect is not ideal.

Christon has been passing the ball to An Luo.Since the start of the playoffs, his playing time has become very small.Basically, the Thunder's backcourt is played by Westbrook, Oladipo and An Luo in turn.Christon's offense and defense are not up to the level of the playoffs.

After the game started, An Luo was still sitting on the bench.However, he is ready and ready to participate in the game at any time.In the past few games, Donovan's personnel rotation has become more and more varied.

Gobert helped the Jazz get their first chance on offense.This kind of thing is not uncommon in this arena, and it doesn't have much impact on the game.But the reaction of those fanatical fans, as if their own players made a lore goal, made Gobert, who was already very excited, even more excited.

He didn't go to the basket for the first time, but made a pick-and-roll for George Hill at the top of the arc from the three-point line.After the latter broke in, he immediately went down to the penalty area.The long arm is raised high, and the ball is about to be picked up.

George Hill also knew it well. He used Gobert's cover to get rid of Westbrook, then immediately accelerated and rushed to the basket.He also feinted, but both Adams and Westbrook were taken away by him.

The timing was right, and George Hill tossed the ball back over his head and into the hands of Gobert, who was right behind him.

After receiving the ball, Gobert took a big step forward, jumped up with his right leg, held the basketball high with his right hand, and dunked towards the basket like a fire.

Although Grant has made up for it, he missed the best defensive opportunity.You can only raise your hands and make a basic defensive posture.

"Boom!"

The basketball was dunked into the basket cleanly by Gobert, and the Jazz scored first.
