Chapter 253 Conflict
The day after the Christmas battle ended, Tang Xiaoru and Zhou Ya left Oklahoma City and returned to Los Angeles.
An Luo and Tang Xiaoru hugged for a long time at the airport.Both of them are very sad!But after all, one has to go to school, and the other has to play games.This is something that cannot be resolved for the time being, and we can only have a long-distance relationship!
Of course, love is only a part of life.An Luo packed up his mood and started to run around again.
On the 28th, the Thunder went to Miami to challenge the Heat.
To say that this game was held three or four years ago, it must have been a focus of attention in the United States.But now, there are not many people left in Oklahoma from the Thunder team that reached the finals.
And the Heat are no longer the original Heat.Moreover, the Thunder still has Westbrook left, but the Heat are miserable.
After James left the East Coast, Wade also left Miami this summer for dignity.The only remaining Bosh also announced an indefinite truce because of a blood clot.
Now the Heat, who else?
The "big white edge" Whiteside, who has received the influence of socialism, is already a very famous one in the lineup!There is Dragic, but on this night, he can't play.
An Luo listened carefully to the names of the opposing team's starting players. Except for Whiteside, he really had never heard of them!
In the past ten years, the American Airlines Center Arena should be regarded as one of the most popular arenas in the league!The three championship flags flying high above the arena are the most eye-catching of all Thunder people.
An Luo felt a little regretful, wondering if he would have a chance to face the Flash Wade in this arena in the future.As a shooting guard who could compete with Kobe at the beginning, he really wanted to see it.Of course, it's Heat No. 3!Wade, who was wearing a Bulls jersey, always felt less energetic.
At the beginning of the game, under the leadership of Westbrook and An Luo, the Thunder opened fire, occupying an absolute advantage on both offense and defense.
It is said that there are no underdogs in the NBA, no matter how bad the team is.And every night of the game, there will be players who perform well.The Heat tonight also proved this point.Under the tenacious struggle of Whiteside and Winslow, in the first half of the first quarter, they tied with the Thunder.
The five is the only position where the Thunder are at a disadvantage.Both Adams and Kanter were ruled by Whiteside!At least on this night, Whiteside was better than both of them.
But it's hard to stand alone.No one in the Heat can stand up and help Baibianer.The two Johnsons on the bench can provide some firepower, but unfortunately, they are not the kind of players who can control the game.
An Luo played the entire first quarter.In these games without Oladipo, his playing time has increased a lot, but his scoring average has not increased.After all, what he is facing now is the strongest second position of each team, and the difficulties he encounters are much greater.
In the second half of the first quarter, the Thunder fired with full firepower. Through tough defense, the Heat forced the Heat to make continuous mistakes, and then countered the fast break.In the last 4 minutes, they beat the home team 17:3 and opened the score all at once.
In the second quarter, Donovan put the substitute on, and Westbrook and An Luo played half a quarter alone.He is now trying his best to control the playing time of these main players and buy them more time to rest.
During this period of time, injuries have continued to appear in the league.Donovan became more and more cautious in arranging troops.In the Thunder, more and more players have entered the rotation.
After a 22:5 offensive climax in the second half of the third quarter, the Thunder opened the point difference to 25 points.In the last quarter, Westbrook, An Luo and Adams did not appear again.Although Donovan is always ready to let them save the field, the Heat have no fighting spirit.
After winning this game, the Thunder won another six consecutive victories before they knew it!This is already their second-longest winning streak this season.
On the 30th, the Thunder visited Memphis.
The Grizzlies have been a powerhouse in the West for years.Especially their defense, no matter who they meet, they have to wear off the opponent's skin.
In this game, Westbrook was in a bad state.Not only the shooting percentage is low, but the passing also makes frequent turnovers.There is a pass directly to Kanter who is standing on the bench!
The referee's penalty also annoyed the Thunder players.An Luo was fine, he didn't have to have too much physical confrontation with the opponent at all.But for Westbrook, the impact is very large.He rushed to the basket almost every time, and the referee didn't give the whistle, and the Grizzlies moved more and more towards him.
In the first quarter, the Thunder trailed the Grizzlies 21:27.After Westbrook hit the basket again, he yelled at the referee.It was obvious that he was really angry.
Fortunately, the referee had a good personality, and Donovan stood up for him in time, otherwise a technical foul would not have escaped.But An Luo could tell that he would explode at any moment.
Sure enough, Westbrook, who had been suppressing his anger, broke out in the third quarter.
Grant made a layup and was pulled down by Randolph with a dribble.The movement is big, obviously aimed at people.Westbrook rushed over angrily, grabbed Randolph by the collar, and questioned him harshly.
Randolph is not a friendly stubble.Now that Westbrook has shot, he will naturally not back down.He shoves it out and twists with Westbrook.
An Luo and Adams rushed over immediately and pulled Westbrook away.It is common to have conflicts on the field, but fights must not be allowed.
The referee would not tolerate such a thing, so one person gave a technical foul.
Westbrook, who already had a lot of opinions on tonight's penalty, immediately felt uncomfortable!He broke away from An Luo's hand and yelled at the referee.Of course it wasn't a fight, but An Luo saw the spittle flying on the opponent's face.You can see how angry he is.
This time the referee didn't tolerate him anymore.Blow him a T neatly.Two consecutive technical fouls, Westbrook was expelled!
This technical foul is actually unnecessary.It was purely "fighted" by Westbrook himself!An Luo thinks it is quite unnecessary, but thinking about it from another angle, apart from being a bit reckless, this should also be what Westbrook should do as a team boss.
Although Donovan repeatedly explained and fought for it, he could not change the situation that Westbrook could not play in the remaining 20 minutes of the game.
What a headache!
Donovan has a big head now.Losing a game is not uncommon.But it would be a pity to lose the game because of the irrationality of the players.
