Chapter 295 Change
Although everyone is mentally prepared, this game is very difficult.But the Jazz still gave the Thunder generals a blow when they came up.
After a wave of 15:6, Donovan called a timeout.Now that the established strategy is no longer sufficient to deal with the situation of letting go, a change must be made.
Both Oladipo and Grant tried three-pointers from the outside, but the effect was not satisfactory.Although the opponent's defense outside the three-point line is not as tight as the penalty area, the shooting rate is still a bit low and the scoring efficiency is not high.
The Thunder scored these points, basically Westbrook passed back to Adams after the pick-and-roll or gave Grant an air cut layup.
After the timeout ended, An Luo entered the field.But Donovan did not replace Westbrook.Although he seemed to work harder than Oladipo in the first few minutes of the game, he cannot be missing from the current lineup.Whether it is organizing the offense or cooperating with An Luo inside and outside, he has done a better job.
Such a strategy is actually not particularly clever, but the situation on the field is much better than at the beginning.
An Luo took the special initiative.Returning to the familiar second position, facing Ingles, he seemed like a fish in water.
Westbrook pushed the ball beyond the three-point line at the top of the arc, still rushing directly to the inside with the help of Adams' cover, but now the Jazz players dare not all shrink to the inside.Ingalls has been following An Luo closely, never daring to stop for a moment.He has to do this. With a shooter like An Luo on the court, any slack is giving the opponent a chance to score.
Things haven't gotten any better for Westbrook, though.The Jazz did not reduce their defense in the penalty area because of An Luo's playing.Just ask your players to move more quickly when switching defenses.
The biggest beneficiaries are the two strikers Robertson and Grant, and their shots will become more.Fortunately, the shooting percentage of the two players in this game is not bad, especially Grant, his mid-range is much better than the previous game.
In the last minute of the first quarter, the Thunder trailed the Jazz by 1 points.
After Westbrook broke in, he passed the ball back to Adams at the top of the arc.The latter holds the ball high and waits for his teammates to come to meet him.
Seeing this, An Luo ran towards the right from the bottom corner on the left and along the bottom line.Under the double cover of Westbrook and Grant, he directly got rid of George Hill, who had switched defenses, and received the basketball from Adams at a 45-degree angle on the right.Then pull it up and cast, easy hit!
21:23
With An Luo's three-pointer, the Thunder were only two points behind.But there is still time, and they still have a chance to tie the score or overtake in the first quarter.
But the Jazz were extremely tenacious in this game.They are always able to contain the opponent with the most ferocious attack when the Thunder is about to rise.
After George Hill took the baseline ball from his teammate, he quickly ran to his frontcourt.It seems that they want to grab time to buy themselves an extra chance to attack.
Westbrook followed the opponent back quickly.But as soon as Hill crossed the center line, he threw the ball to Ingles in the left corner.An Luo followed immediately.This guy has a good three-pointer ability, and he dare not let it go.
After receiving the ball, Ingles raised his hand, and An Luo immediately stepped forward, and raised his hands in a defensive posture.But Ingles didn't take the shot, it was just a feint.Seeing An Luo approaching, he withdrew his hand and slapped the ball hard from An Luo's armpit to the floor in front right.
The basketball bounced just in time to be caught by Hayward who cut over.Then he took two steps forward, and then exerted force with his legs, flying up and pressing Adams, which was a one-handed snap.
Boom!
Another burst of almost crazy cheers.These Jazz fans sitting in the audience are far more excited than the Jazz players on the court.
Hayward's dunk extended the advantage by another two points, and also bought himself at least seven seconds of attack time.
Looking back, Westbrook took the ball to the top of the arc and beyond the three-point line.He dribbles on the spot, trying to use up all 24 seconds of attack time.
But none of the others stopped.An Luo surrounded his teammates and kept circling the court.He needs to find opportunities to get rid of the chasing soldiers in the process of continuous running.Roberson is doing the same thing, and while his [-]-point shot is inconsistent, he can shoot it anyway.Grant and Adams, on the other hand, were constantly covering them and defending them from the pursuers behind them.
In the end, An Luo took the basketball in Westbrook's hand by hand at a 45-degree angle to the right.
After receiving the ball, An Luo did not change the direction of his running, but continued to move forward with the ball.Adams prepared a pick-and-roll at the top of the arc at the three-point line in advance, An Luo stepped close to the opponent's body, pulled it up and shot.Ingalls, who had been following him closely, was blocked by Adams, unable to interfere with An Luo.
The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air, and then fell straight into the net bag.
"Yes!"
An Luo raised his hands high, made an "OK" gesture, and ran quickly to the backcourt.After this three-pointer, the Thunder are only one point behind the opponent!With a little more than 8 seconds left in the game, the Jazz still have plenty of time to complete the next attack.
They didn't call a timeout.After all, this is not the next moment, so there is no need to be so nervous.Moreover, these players are experienced in many battles, and they know how to complete this offense.The Thunder naturally adopted a full-court defensive strategy to put pressure on the opponent and force them to make mistakes.Even if the final effect cannot be achieved, the opponent's attack time should be consumed as much as possible.
This point also does not need Donovan to remind, everyone knows how to defend.
An Luo is close to Ingles, and his body has been leaning against the side of George Hill who is holding the ball, preventing him from catching the ball.Hayward was also stuck to death by Robertson, and Grant not far away was also eyeing him.
Not much time, Hill can only come by himself.He was very decisive, and directly accelerated to the front right.Westbrook, who was marking him, retreated to the front right, but after he moved, Hill pulled the ball back all of a sudden.All of a sudden, he distanced himself from Westbrook.
This action is used by almost all defenders.But although Hill got the space to shoot, he couldn't shoot the ball.
