Chapter 208 Three Guards
The entire second quarter became An Luo's performance time.
This is the case during the game. If a certain player in the team feels good, he will always play the ball for the opponent.So whether it's Christon or Westbrook, they are paying attention to Anglo's position and passing the ball to him.
He took 12 shots in the 17 minutes he played in the second quarter!Refreshed his highest number of shots in a single quarter.If it is the first time to watch the Thunder game, no one will think that Westbrook is the head star.An Luo is!
Fortunately, An Luo did not disappoint everyone's trust.Of these 17 shots, 11 of 5 from beyond the three-point line and 6 of 3 from mid-range.The score of 21 points in a single quarter is only 2 points less than the highest score in a single quarter of his career.If you score one more three-pointer, you can break the record.
It can only be said that it is a pity!
But apart from An Luo, the performance of the rest of the Thunder is very average.In addition, the performance of the Pacers was not bad, so at halftime, the Thunder only led the opponent by 5 points.
During the intermission, An Luo's performance caused a sensation on the Internet.After being in a downturn for half a month, An Luo finally played an exciting game.His precise three-pointer was once again displayed in front of countless fans.
Half game, less than 15 minutes, 27 points!It is enough to prove that he is still the best rookie this year.Looking at the entire NBA league, An Luo is a very good scorer.
It is foreseeable that An Luo will refresh his scoring record tonight.And with his offensive momentum, 40+ is not impossible!
得益于安洛的表现，当家球星威斯布鲁克终于轻松了下来。上半场他也只打了15分钟。投篮12投7中，得到了15分。外加12次助攻和7个篮板。他这12次助攻里，有5次都是传球给安洛的。可见他俩的默契还是相当足的。
Although the Thunder didn't lead by much, the atmosphere in their locker room was very good.An Luo's return made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.Although the Thunder's current record is not bad, the few games they lost are indeed a pity.Except for the Pistons game, the other games have a great chance to win.
The complete Thunderbolt is not afraid of any opponent.
Donovan analyzed the situation in the first half for everyone, and then arranged the tactics and lineup for the third quarter.He repeatedly emphasized rebounding protection and defensive aggression.In the second quarter, when our own offense was so smooth, the score was not opened, because these two points were not done well.
If you want to win the game safely, offense is only one aspect.Defense is equally important.
So, the second half was at Donovan's request.The Thunder will disperse part of their energy to the defensive end.
The effect is very good!
In the third quarter, Oladipo and Sabonis started the second half of the battle with a group of substitutes.
Pacer Turner launched the second half of the first offense.He went straight down after the pick-and-roll, and then received the basketball from Brooks one step inside the free throw line.Great opportunity!It's a pity that the accuracy is not good, and a good opportunity was wasted.
Grant grabs the rebound.Oladipo rushed to the frontcourt.There is no chasing long shot from outside the three-point line!The ball could have gone in, and it was easy to play by yourself or assist your teammates.
He is a little impatient!Due to An Luo's outbreak, his playing time decreased today.The sense of crisis that had been hidden for a long time suddenly surfaced again.
In fact, Oladipo performed well in the first two games.In the two-game winning streak, he scored 29 and 26 points respectively.Partnering with Westbrook, it feels a little bit like having two guns in the backcourt.
None of Donovan's teams solved the problems of An Luo and Oladipo.These two second positions are players with excellent talent and immediate combat power, and each has its own characteristics, which can cope with different game situations.But if they are in a team, they limit each other's development.This is not a good thing for young players.
What a happy trouble!It would be great if there was one that could be put in the third position.Unfortunately, according to the physical conditions of these two people, either of them will be sieved at the small forward position.
The two sides played back and forth for half a quarter, and the score was still 5 points.
Donovan called a timeout and simply drew two plays.Then he waved his hand, up and down.Westbrook, Anlo, Adams, and Robertson played, replacing Christon, Kanter, Sabonis, and Singler.He kept Oladipo on the court.It's interesting to have all three defenders on the pitch!
Robertson was pushed to the fourth position. In the Western Conference finals last season, he was placed in this position by Donovan and played very well.As for the third position, An Luo stepped up.Who told him to be the tallest of the three defenders!Fortunately, Glenn Robinson, the Pacers' starting third position, is not tall, less than 2 meters.
The timeout ends and the game continues.
Westbrook advanced with the ball, An Luo and Oladipo lined up on both sides.However, An Luo is still a little uncomfortable. His position has always been near the three-point line, but his current position is closer to the rebound.
Thunder is actually still old.Adams pulled out the pick-and-roll, Westbrook rushed in.Come by yourself if you have a chance, and share the ball if you don't have a chance.It's just that with An Luo and Oladipo on the court, the space inside has become very large.After all, no one is going to short these two guys.Although Oladipo is not as abnormal as An Luo, he still has a shooting rate of about 35%.
Westbrook, who has not been specially taken care of, has a relatively high offensive efficiency when there is enough space.
The Pacers couldn't resist the Thunder's attack at all.They can only try their best to resist, and then strengthen their offense.In order to be able to bite the score through counterattacks.
That's what they did in the third quarter.But times have changed, and now these guys on the Thunder field, in terms of defense, are no worse than their offense.
The ball was passed to Robinson, and An Luo directly stuck to it, getting stuck on the opponent's breakthrough route.A pair of long arms spread out and wrapped around each other.Robinson tried a few pushes, but to no avail.
Unable to break through and have no chance to shoot, Robinson must pass the ball.But his passing is a bit poor, and he needs to turn his head to find his teammates.
The moment he turned his head, An Luo slapped the basketball out.Oladipo from outside the three-point line rushed out, picked up the basketball and rushed across the center line.Westbrook followed closely behind. After Oladipo crossed the free throw line, he threw the ball up. Westbrook took off directly and dunked the ball heavily into the basket.
The cooperation between the three guards ignited the city of Oklahoma in an instant.
