Super Heavy Artillery

An Luo only rested for 5 minutes in the first half. This is his longest playing game since April. And from the current situation, he still needs to insist on playing for a long time in the second half. Of course. Westbrook and Paul George are in the same situation.

Thibodeau made it clear that he was about to smash a victory. The four Timberwolves, the "poor man version of the giant" players, basically went down for a drink, and then returned to the court. Compared with this group of Timberwolves players who are close to the runaway, Oklahoma City's fairly good bench lineup is indeed not an opponent. So Donovan dare not care. From the bottom of it, Donovan is still a very cautious man.

However, even with all the effort, the Thunder are still 11 points behind. Throughout the first half, the Thunder were forced to get into a situation where the Timberwolves played hand-to-hand. Especially Butler and Teague, these two guys are like having a deep hatred with the Thunder, their defensive actions are very big. Although they paid several fouls for this, they did not change that style of play.

Frequent physical contact will naturally cause some conflicts.

In the second half of the first quarter, Westbrook's layup was knocked down by Butler, who was on defense. Although the referee called the latter a foul, the anger in Westbrook's heart was instantly ignited by the opponent. He stood up from the ground and rushed towards Butler. Then, the two of them put their heads on their heads and spewed trash talk. If it were not for the referee and the players of both sides to pull them apart in time, the consequences could be more serious.

In the second quarter, An Luo also clashed with the opponent. In fact, he has a good temper on the court. Although sometimes I can't control my mouth, I like to say some unfriendly words. But he has never been so angry.

At that time, An Luo was in the right elbow area. He originally wanted to find a chance to shoot outside the right three-point line through Adams's screen. But Butler just squeezed over and followed him closely. Afterwards, the people were entangled together, and on the surface they were getting rid of each other, but secretly they were pushing each other. When An Luo came to pick up the basketball from Robertson, Butler bent his left arm and gave An Luo an elbow without leaving a trace. The piercing pain made An Luo unstable. Although he controlled the basketball with his leading position, he was still snatched away by Butler abruptly.

When has An Luo suffered such a loss! When he fell to the floor, his right foot stretched forward, and Butler, who was about to launch a fast break, also tripped to the ground. The latter smashed the ball to the floor, got up and walked towards An Luo. An Luo was also angry. He didn't want to see the ruthless look on his face. You did it first, but now that you have suffered, you feel wronged? He squeezed his fist and was about to lean over. Seeing that the two were about to meet again, the referee ran over quickly and stood between the two.

"Beep~"

The referee's eyes are sharp now! An Luo was immediately sentenced to a foul. Now An Luo is even more reluctant! The referee didn't blow when he was violated, and he was blown when he acted. What is the reason for this? He immediately ran to the referee and explained to him: "It was just an accident, sir! I fell and he ran into it himself."

But this is of no use! The referee insisted on his penalty. Anluo got his third foul in this game, which caused him to be severely constrained in his defense. Of course, this is something later, and An Luo also took a 3 minute rest.

Trash talk, friction, and conflict have always accompanied this game. The head coach of both sides may be the most nervous person! Especially Donovan. Therefore, he repeatedly stressed that players should restrain their emotions during the intermission. You know, the NBA is very serious about the standing up of players on the court. The Timberwolves will definitely win. But if it delays the next game, it will not be worth the loss.

"We must calm down! The other party is always looking for confrontation and wants to irritate us. Don't be fooled!"

In the third quarter, including most of the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves have always maintained a lead on the court. The three core players, Westbrook, Anlow and Paul George, all suffered a lot of fouls, so that in the subsequent games, their defense has not reached the best state. However, the Thunder still recovered the score in the second half. After all, the Thunder's offense is no worse than their defense. And in this league, no team can completely limit the Thunder's scoring.

85:90. This is the score on the field with 3 minutes left before the end of the game. With the Thunder ahead, the Timberwolves led by 5 points.

Donovan called a timeout, and then sent Westbrook and Anlow, who had rested for 2 minutes, on the field again. The Thunder is about to launch the final attack!

After coming up, An Luo ran a long circle around the court from the top of the arc ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ received a basketball from Adams at the bottom right corner. On the way, An Luo continuously used the cover of Robertson, Adams and Paul George to pull the Timberwolves' defense line to pieces. After catching the ball, Anluo tipped his toes, swayed Teague, who was rushing out, and then jumped and shot.

"Huh~"

The goal is scored! An Luo's three-pointer chased the score to only 2 points. At the same time, this is also his fourth three-pointer in the game.

Looking back, Teague saw the needle, and after a pick and roll, he rushed into the penalty area between Paul George and Adams. Then a European step bypassed Westbrook, who came up on the defense, and scored the ball. Help the Timberwolves stabilize the situation.

But before his breath was relieved, the Thunder was approaching the score again!

Adams quickly sent the baseline ball. Westbrook rushed into the three-point line like a gust of wind. In the face of Towns and Butler, he did not force it, but a pass from behind, followed by Paul George with assists and a layup.

Disregarding the celebration, the two hurried back to defense. But at this time, the Timberwolves made a fatal mistake. Teague was intercepted by Adams when he gave Towns a lob. As a strong inside player with stealing ability, Adams almost saved the entire Thunder this time.

After the steal was successful, Adams threw the ball to An Luo, who was at the farthest position, as quickly as possible. At this time, Donovan stood up abruptly, he was about to call a timeout and arrange this attack. But An Luo has rushed beyond the three-point line. The opportunity was so good, he immediately dispelled the idea. But he was still not at ease, standing on the sidelines and shouted:

"Fight in! Fight in!"

"How did you shoot? Go grab a rebound!"

"Pretty!"
