Chapter 218 No one wants to lose
In the last 2 minutes of the game, the atmosphere on the field suddenly became tense.
In addition to scoring on the court, An Luo must also limit Chandler as much as possible.This is not an easy job.Everyone thought that after Gallinari was injured, the Nuggets would lose one scoring point.Unexpectedly, this guy stood up and perfectly filled Gallinari's vacancy.Even better than Gallinari.You know, so far, Chandler has scored 30 points!
An Luo could only do his best.
Nelson is back on the field. At this critical moment, Mike Malone believes in him.Murray's enthusiasm and scoring ability can help the Nuggets, but facing Westbrook, his performance is very poor.
Nuggets possession of the ball.Nelson is in charge of organizing the offense.
He's a very consistent one.Playing according to the coach's arrangement, there will be no major problems, and there will be no outstanding performances.
Westbrook followed closely, and Nelson tried a few times, but without a chance, he handed the ball to Chandler.The latter catches the ball and hits An Luo with his back, and hits in bit by bit.An Luo's core strength is not weak, but it is still not enough to face the third player who is one size older.
Chandler pushed An Luo to the free throw line, then turned around halfway, turned over and made a jumper, and scored the ball.
"Boy! You don't know anything about power!"
An Luo was once again dissatisfied with his physical fitness!He felt that if he was taller and stronger, Chandler's shot would definitely not be so easy.
Coming back, Westbrook pushed forward quickly.He started directly from the center line, shook off Mudiay who was following him, and then rushed across the free throw line.After he rushed up, almost no one could restrain him.Westbrook is as fast as a bolt of lightning!Raising his hands high, he twisted his waist and swayed past Nurkic who was defending him, then jumped up high, and ended the attack with a powerful slam dunk.
After dunking, Westbrook yelled loudly, and then did a gymnastics move towards the camera, showing off his muscles.
So cool!
That's how Westbrook plays.Unreasonable, rampage.But I have to say that such a dunk can always ignite the fire in everyone's heart, thus driving the momentum on the court.
An Luo is very envious!He never thought that his scoring and defense would be worse than other players, but when it comes to dunking, he felt that he was indeed far behind.
No way, height and bounce are actually enough.But it just lacks the momentum of Westbrook.This is probably the negative effect of the leading three-pointer!Why rush in when you have the opportunity to solve a problem 23 feet away?
After going and coming, another 30 seconds passed.Both sides scored a goal each, and the score became 103:100.The Thunder still lead the Nuggets by one goal.
The Nuggets continued to attack.The ball was still in Chandler's hands!Among the five people on the field, he still had the best chance.The disadvantage of the match made An Luo the opponent's breakthrough!
Of course, this doesn't mean that Thunder is helpless.The moment Chandler catches the ball, Roberson leans in and double-teams him.
Donovan didn't double-team any Nuggets player throughout the game.The Thunder are all ball handlers who limit the Nuggets by switching defenses infinitely.Chandler can be regarded as enjoying the treatment of a star player.
But Chandler didn't panic.As soon as Robertson came over, he handed the ball to Faried.The latter catches and shoots, but Adams almost arrives with the basketball, throwing his hands up and jumping hard.Although it can't be directly covered, it gives enough interference.
"jump!"
The ball didn't go in!
Nurkic jumped high and grabbed the rebound.Without Adams at the basket, he seemed to be able to do a job with ease.Without passing the ball, he prepares to do it himself.
It's not a no-brainer choice, but it's not a good one either.Adams did go out to defend Faried, but Adams is not the only Thunder in the penalty area.
Westbrook has quick eyes and quick hands, and broke the basketball in Nurkic's hand.Then he took control of the ball and rushed to the frontcourt.He was going to grab a rebound, but he "scraped" a steal!Of course, the result is the same.
Also starting at the same time as Westbrook are An Luo and Oladipo. The two are on the left and the right. They are both points where the Thunder can end the offense, making it impossible for the Nuggets' players to return to defense.
Westbrook's position is relatively behind.He was originally attacking from the baseline, and Nelson quickly caught up with him.Without hesitation, he threw the ball directly to An Luo who was 45 degrees to the left.
In fact, Oladipo is also out of position.But no matter how harmonious the team is, there will still be differences between closeness and distance.How could An Luo be his apprentice!Westbrook is not an unselfish person.
However, no one will bother with Westbrook's choice.At the critical moment, handing the ball to An Luo to shoot a three-pointer is the most reasonable choice.
An Luo did not disappoint Westbrook.After receiving the ball, he didn't make any adjustments. He jumped up with his legs and threw the ball.In front of him, there is only the basket.An Luo rarely misses such a shot.
106:100
With a little over 1 point left in the game, the Thunder led by 6 points.Although it is not safe, they have the upper hand no matter from the situation or from the heart.
On the contrary, the Nuggets are a little anxious.They worked hard the whole game, but they were always missing the mark.But there was still a chance, and Mike Malone called a timeout.He must arrange the last minute well, and at the same time cheer up the players.
Donovan is doing the same.Victory is hard-won, and this time it is two back-to-back matches, it is even more difficult to win a victory!Tonight's victory is in sight, and we must hold on.
Defense is a must, but offense is just as important.The two complement each other.Defense is the support of offense, but if the offense cannot be played, no matter how good the defense is, it is useless.So Donovan's idea is to play defensive counterattack.Rely on tough defense to force the opponent to make mistakes.Control the rebound, let Westbrook launch an attack to hit the inside, and find a chance to pass the ball to An Luo if he can't hit.
But Donovan obviously underestimated the Nuggets' desire to win.Nelson rushed to the penalty area with Nurkic's cover.And also brought Adams and Westbrook into the free throw line.Chandler feints in the left elbow, but only to create for Mudiay.The latter used the screen to get rid of the pursuers and catch the ball in the corner.There is a bit of Curry's shadow in the action.
"Shh!"
Hollow into the network!
106:103, through patient cooperation, the Nuggets chased the score to only 3 points.
Mudiay patted his chest and stared at the scoreboard.
"One ball short!"
No one wants to lose at this point in the game!
