Super Heavy Artillery

Vol 3 Chapter 137: Unfavorable situation

After the Thunder lost this game, the series' big score became 1:1.

   Players from both sides hug each other on the court. The Spurs did not show extreme excitement, and the Thunder weren't frustrated either. In fact, such a result can only be said to be reluctantly accepted by the warring parties, and it is not particularly perfect.

   The Spurs lost a game at home, although they pulled back one city and found a way to deal with the Thunder. But in the subsequent games, he lost his home court advantage. Three of the next five games were played in Oklahoma City.

   For the Thunder, they won one game in San Antonio, so that the subsequent games occupied the home court advantage. But they have no advantage in the situation. The Spurs have captured the Thunder's seven inches in this game. When they did not find a way to deal with it, the Thunder had been in a passive situation.

   This is the difference between the playoffs and the regular season. All problems will be exposed and become the focus of others' attacks. The Thunder's problems have always existed, but their management doesn't seem to figure out how to deal with it. So nothing happened throughout the season. Of course, it is probably because their positioning this season is not that high. Who would have thought that they would have hope of rushing into the Western Conference with such a configuration! If only a little bit was expected, Presti would not do nothing. Then the Thunder situation will not be so difficult now.

   The problem now fell on Donovan. The most important thing is that he is also a clever woman who cannot cook without rice. There is no one on hand! There is only one Robertson in the third position, but the offensive ability is too poor! Finally, it became a breakthrough for others to deal with themselves.

   There is no way to solve this problem.

   The day after the game ended, the Thunder and his team returned to Oklahoma City. Everyone didn't get together and went home. After all, I have been drifting outside for several days, and I have been exhausted and want to rest.

   After returning to Oklahoma City, An Luo stayed at home by himself. His job now is to rest and prepare for the third game. Now everyone in the Thunder situation understands that there is nothing he can do about the formation of troops. He can only prepare and help as much as possible.

   After a day's rest, the fighting reignited.

   The atmosphere of the Chesapeake Energy Arena makes An Luo feel comfortable. Other people are the same.

   Donovan continued the lineup in the second half of the previous game. Robertson was removed and all three guards were on the court. There is no way to completely solve the problems on the lineup, and you can only rely on the players' performance.

   Westbrook played very aggressively in this game. In fact, as long as his shooting feel recovers and he no longer relies solely on breakthrough layups to score, even Leonard can't restrain him.

   Basically, Leonard and Westbrook have canceled each other out. The other players have their own performance, and the situation is quite anxious.

   Until the end of the third quarter, Oladipo missed a half goal. The Thunder trailed the Spurs by 2 points.

   It seems that the Thunder's response is pretty good. Westbrook changed from the downturn in the previous game and has scored 28 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists after three quarters. Of course, Leonard on the opposite side is equally dazzling.

   In addition to Westbrook, Anlow and Adams also played very well. This inside and outside, with Westbrook taking on the main defensive attention, you made a three-pointer with one hook and resisted the Spurs' offensive.

   But in the fourth quarter, the situation between the two sides changed.

   Thunder took the lead in attacking. Westbrook took advantage of Adams' cover to rush into the interior, facing Gasol with a tomahawk slash. Then he grabbed a defensive rebound, then assisted Adams for another two points.

   The Spurs did not put all the main players on the table immediately. Leonard and Aldridge did not rest for a few minutes in the third quarter. But it is obvious that these players still can't stop the Thunder, which is all the main force.

   In this situation, Thunder finally took the initiative. But Donovan was very worried. After all, the opponent's core players are resting. When they are on the court, their players must be physically at a disadvantage. It was difficult to fight at that time.

   So, he put An Luo on the court. The purpose is to take advantage of a period of time, try to widen the difference. Even if they do not have the upper hand in the second half of the game, they still have enough confidence to resist.

   An Luo is also doing pretty well. He took the opportunity to score a few goals. After receiving the ball at the top of the arc, he used Adams's screen to get rid of Ginobili one step, and then quickly shot. Afterwards, he slipped to the right corner through a reverse run and caught the ball and took a three-pointer.

   With 7 minutes left in the game, the Thunder went through a wave of 12:5 attacks and wrote the score as 5 points ahead of the Spurs.

   At this time, Vicki called a timeout. He began to arrange the next game. At the same time, Donovan quickly set up his players.

   There is a solemn atmosphere on the bench on both sides~www.wuxiaspot.com~ until the game is played, everyone has a chance to win.

   The next seven minutes is the real decisive moment.

   After returning from the timeout, the opponent sent a large lineup: Leonard, Danny Green, Simmons, Pau Gasol and Aldridge. Among these people, the shortest is 198cm Danny Green.

  Vicci dropped Tony Parker and sent Simmons up. Although this lineup does not have a point guard, Leonard can take on the task of organization. The two wings Green and Simmons can shoot three-pointers and are more defensive, with excellent athleticism and wingspan. The inside is a combination of Gasol and Aldridge, both offensive and defensive.

   Don't underestimate this person's change, the Spurs' overall defense has improved in an instant.

  Thunder was a little overwhelmed by this change. They didn't score for a full 3 minutes. The Spurs relied on their height advantage and kept hitting the basket.

   Seeing the situation getting worse, Donovan called a timeout.

   During this timeout, Donovan made some adjustments. But Vitch changed immediately and put Mills on the court again.

   In the last few minutes, the two sides returned to the turn-based game, you one goal, one goal, although the Spurs were unable to win the game in one wave, but the little advantage continued to the end of the game.

   In the end, the Thunder lost this very important game by 3 points at their home court. Although the entire series has only finished three games, the situation is quite unfavorable for the Thunder.
