Chapter 290 Victory
As soon as An Luo passed the center line, the ball thrown by Westbrook flew to his side.
Tacit understanding is really important!An Luo knew that Westbrook would pass the ball to himself.He stretched out his hand to shoot the ball forward, and took two quick steps to get beyond the three-point line.
Do you want to chase three points?
This is already a more commonly used tactic for the Thunder this season.Donovan seemed to be possessed by D'Antoni, tasted the sweetness brought by the three-pointer, and was out of control.Of course, it was An Luo who gave him courage.
But this time, An Luo didn't shoot a three-pointer.
For him, the three-pointer can be shot at any time, but the dunk is not.Although An Luo can dunk one or two from time to time in the game, for a guard, especially for a shooting guard, dunks are always what they yearn for.Now that he has such an opportunity, how can he miss it!
An Luo rushed across the free throw line with the ball and approached the basket.The distance was almost the same, An Luo exerted force with both feet, and his whole body rose into the air.With the ball in his right hand, he slams the ball toward the hoop from shoulder level.
"Bang!"
An Luo, who succeeded in dunking, stood firm, and immediately ran to the backcourt excitedly holding his jersey.
In fact, his movements are not particularly explosive.But because An Luo's figure is not as strong as European and American players, he looks quite chic.
After Westbrook high-fived An Luo in the middle circle, he slapped his butt hard.Thunder players all know that An Luo likes to dunk, and they all know his level.Therefore, they were all very happy with An Luo's super-level dunk.
The Jazz players can't be affected by this ball at all.Chesapeake Energy Arena earth-shattering cheers did not bring them too much pressure.
Hill took the ball beyond the three-point line.He didn't rush in, but still made a pick-and-roll gesture to his teammates.But this time Dior didn't pull it out, but Hayward came over.
Hill, who got rid of Westbrook, feels like a fish in water and is very flexible.Roberson's defense is better than Westbrook's, but take him away from Hayward, and Hill is considered a success.
Against Westbrook, Hayward was a little more relaxed.Then Hill came along with the ball, turned his back and hit it in, turned over and made a jumper, clean and tidy.
18:22
Seeing that the score was about to be tied, Hayward's jumper stabilized the situation.
The Thunder continued to attack.
Westbrook received the ball from Adams, quickly dribbled the ball and rushed straight to the basket.
However, just as Westbrook jumped up to shoot, Diaw made up again.He rushed directly in front of Westbrook and made defensive moves.
"Want to score? It's not that easy!"
He jumped up with Westbrook, but he didn't expect the opponent to pass the ball from behind nimbly.
This kind of cooperation is simply commonplace for An Luo and Westbrook.He circled to the left corner as Westbrook rushed up.
After receiving the ball, An Luo didn't wait for Ingles to rush over, kicked his feet, jumped high, held the ball with his left hand, flicked the ball with his right hand, and threw the ball.
The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air, unbiased, and hit the net pocket.
21:22, the Thunder are only 1 point away!
Seeing that he was about to be tied, Hayward stood up again.After catching the ball, he held the ball with his right hand, pushed secretly with his left hand, and stepped over Robertson's side in one step.With a slight shake of his left hand, he exerted a sudden force and pinned Robertson behind him.
Although Adams made up quickly enough, Hayward arched over as soon as he was short.Only the basket is left behind.Hayward held the ball, bouncing around, dunking with both hands to score.
The two sides remained in a stalemate until the fourth quarter, and the Jazz's lead had not yet been overturned by the Thunder.Even at the end of the third quarter, the Thunder trailed by 72 points 77:5!
After a preliminary examination, Gobert sprained his left knee and will not return for this game.As for whether the subsequent games can be played again, we have to wait for the final inspection results to be confirmed.
But Hayward and Joe Johnson, with the Jazz's role players, insisted on pressing the Thunder for most of the game.And the score has been stretched to double digits several times.Hit too hard!
Thanks to the current Thunder, it is full of resilience.Although they have been catching up with the score, they did not let the opponent pull away.
As soon as the fourth quarter started, Donovan sent An Luo up.Grant went directly to the fifth position, and Robertson switched to the fourth position.
He is ready to grab points!
The effect is still very good.With Westbrook and Oladipo charging into the battle, An Luo lay in ambush outside, smashing the Jazz's defense to pieces in an instant.Although the defensive end was a little looser, An Luo and Robertson still restricted Hayward better.
In the final period of the game, basically whenever Hayward caught the ball, these two always swarmed.Regardless of the opponent's power forward was emptied.
Without Hayward's firepower output, the Jazz's scoring efficiency immediately dropped.
Hayward was a little anxious.Seeing that Thunder was gaining momentum, he was helpless.
When this person is in a hurry, things are more likely to happen.The so-called haste makes waste.In order not to be double-teamed, Hayward caught the ball several times in a row and shot it. Unfortunately, the shooting percentage was not very high.Hit the iron several times and wasted a lot of scoring opportunities.
Thunder took advantage of these rounds to turn the situation around.
First, Westbrook broke through to the basket to complete Dior's foul and made two free throws.Immediately afterwards, An Luo shot a cold arrow one meter away from the top of the arc and scored another three-pointer.Although Westbrook made a dribble error in the next round, the Jazz took the opportunity to play a fast break, but An Luo scored another three-pointer from the left corner to complete the overtake.
79:80, the visiting team is in front.
This is the Thunder's first lead in this game.But since then, the Jazz have never been able to overtake.
With Westbrook scoring a super long three-pointer, the Thunder opened the point difference to 30 points with the last 10 seconds left in the game.
However, the Jazz generals still did not give up.They quickly served the ball, and Hill went straight to the basket, completed Grant's foul, and got two free throws.
But unfortunately, under the hustle and bustle of the Chesapeake Energy Arena, Hill only scored one free throw.
Then, they started foul tactics and made a last-ditch effort.Although Hayward made a three-pointer, it was too late.And whether it is Robert or Grant, the free throws at the last moment are very stable.
In the end, the Thunder defeated the Jazz by 8 points at their home court and won their first win in the playoffs this season.
