On the night of December 12, An Luo chatted with Westbrook on the bench early.Along with them on the bench is Adams.In the last quarter of the game, all three of them only played for more than 5 minutes.
The Pelicans are not a very strong opponent.If it weren't for Davis being strong enough, they would be a downright weak team.In addition to Davis, there is only one Holiday in the team, which is still somewhat strong.In their starting lineup, An Luo has never heard of Ettoine Moore, Solomon Hill and Omo Asik!On the bench, even more unknown!
Throughout the game, the Pelicans were overwhelmed by the Thunder.They did not organize a decent counterattack.
Of course, what everyone is concerned about in this game is not the outcome between the two teams.Anthony Davis has played very well this season, and the 30+10 data is easy to catch.He leads the league in scoring so far with 31.6 points per game.Overwhelm the crowd!However, the Pelicans' lineup is too poor to give him much help.This also made him laughingly called the leader of the league's empty cut group by the fans, and the deputy leader is another outstanding big man, Sacramento's Cousins.
Westbrook gradually fell off the scoring list.After all, An Luo and Oladipo share the scoring. He only needs to organize the team's offense well and stand up at critical moments.So on the MVP list, his position at the top of the list is as stable as Mount Tai!
One averaged 30+10 per game, and the other averaged a triple-double per game. This game was supposed to be a duo between Westbrook and Thick Eyebrow, but it was a bit anticlimactic.
Davis is still very active on the court and has a very strong desire to attack.In the first quarter of the game, he shot from inside and outside, scored 14 and added 5 rebounds.In less than 6 minutes in the second quarter, he also scored 7 points, 4 rebounds and 2 blocks.
Compared with the radiance of thick eyebrows, Westbrook is much more low-key.As the schedule continues to deepen, Westbrook's style of play is constantly changing.He usually finds his teammates first, and organizes the offense of the entire team as the first job.It is rare to carry the team forward by yourself.I have to say that life is easy with helpers.
He took 6 shots in the first half and hit 4 of them, all near the basket.Compared with the beginning of the season, Westbrook has chosen very carefully in terms of the number of shots and the timing of shots.Without a good opportunity, he will not rush to make a move.So don't look at him averaging less than 27 points per game, but his shooting percentage of 53.2% is quite high!
As those media said, Westbrook is playing the best season of his career.
Throughout the first half, in the 12 minutes of the first quarter, the Pelicans relied on the excellent performances of Davis and Holiday to barely draw with the Thunder.But in the second quarter, as soon as the two sides came on the bench, the gap came out!
An Luo and Kanter directly smashed the Pelicans' second team!Especially An Luo's four three-pointers from the outside line are simply too ruthless!Under his leadership, the Thunder played a wave of 16:0 and stopped the opponent.That is, after this offensive, the Pelicans were never able to narrow the point difference to single digits.
In the second half, with a lead of more than 20 points, Donovan gave more opportunities to the players on the bench.After all, it is a back-to-back game, and these main players can rest as much as they can.Moreover, the team must have enough motivation, and these substitute players will play a big enough role.Letting them play more games is also a better exercise.
Only An Luo is not included!Donovan didn't see him as a substitute player!Except that he is not a starter, he spends no less time playing games every night than starters like Oladipo and Adams.And he was always on the court at critical moments of the game.Judging from the number of shots, he, Oladipo and Westbrook are basically the same now, all around 15 times.
In the end, the Thunder defeated the visiting New Orleans Pelicans 112:95 at their home court, achieving five consecutive victories.This is also their second longest winning streak this season!The next opponent will have some tough problems.Guys in Houston, Boston, Portland are not average.It is really difficult for the Thunder to get good results in December!
On the evening of the 6th, the Thunder and his team visited Atlanta to challenge the Eastern Conference Eagles.
The current Eagles are no longer the ones that competed with LeBron James in previous seasons!Before they met the Thunder, they had already suffered a six-game losing streak!Compared with the fiery Thunder, it is far from it.
This game, although the Thunder is an away game, is the second back-to-back game.But they still continued their fiery state.Although Korver showed his prowess in the second quarter and hit consecutive three-pointers, the Eagles saw hope of ending their losing streak.But that, too, was short-lived.In the third quarter, on the basis of the original lead of 6 points, Donovan's main force was all out.It took them one quarter to end the game!
In this quarter, the Eagles were completely stunned.
When Westbrook can make three of four three-pointers, it is difficult for the Thunder to lose!
They made a total of 10 three-pointers in the third quarter!Refreshed the record in team history.Among them, Westbrook scored 3, An Luo scored 4, Oladipo scored 2, and Kanter scored 1.Including mid-range and free throws, the Thunder scored a total of 45 points in this quarter!The powerful offensive firepower is staggering.
Of course, this has something to do with the Eagles' defense.Although they have three consecutive DPOY Howards in their team, the sparks of the past two years have no longer peaked.The deterrence on the defensive end has been greatly reduced.However, even the pinnacle of sparks, probably can't stop this perverted and accurate thunder!
In fact, even Lei Ting himself was surprised.You know, in this game, they didn't have the idea of winning the game entirely by shooting three-pointers!It's completely because it feels good in the hand, and it's the leading side, so it's relatively relaxed to play a lot.
Until after the game, Donovan shook his head repeatedly in front of reporters: I finally realized the feeling of Steve and Mike standing on the sidelines watching their players play.Honestly, it feels really good!
With 45:15 in the third quarter, the Thunder opened the point difference to more than 20 in one fell swoop.Therefore, throughout the fourth quarter, the main players such as Westbrook, An Luo, Audi, and Adams hardly played.The Eagles seemed to have been knocked out in the third quarter. Although the main players were all on the last quarter, they were not able to recover the score.
In the end, the Thunder defeated the Eagles 112:99 in the away game and won six consecutive victories.
After another back-to-back game ended, all Thunder generals breathed a sigh of relief.Although everyone is very tired, as long as they are winning, it is very worthwhile!
