Super Heavy Artillery

v3 Chapter 50 - Fight the Pistons again

It was a shame that Denver lost. It took them forty-eight minutes to equalize the score, but in just two minutes, they gave up victory. This is a process that all young teams will go through. The players are hardworking, but the stamina is slightly insufficient. They can catch up when they are behind, but they can’t handle the advantage and even the balance of power, and they can easily collapse.

The Thunder was caught off guard by the opponent in the last minute, but fortunately, the opponent did not directly kill the game. Give them a chance to save themselves.

In this campaign, Westbrook played well. In 38 minutes, 26 points, 12 rebounds and 18 assists were recorded in a triple-double. Is a well-deserved MVP of the audience. Other players played well, with Anlo 23 points and 2 steals, Oladipo 21 points and 3 assists, Sabonis 13 points and 7 rebounds, Kanter 11 points and 12 rebounds. Have done what they should do.

For the Nuggets, Chandler played the most brilliantly. The statistics of 34 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists is simply a transcript of a star player. In addition, Nelson had 16 points and 13 assists, Mudiay had 15 points and 5 assists, Faried had 10 points and 8 rebounds, and Murray had 20 points and 7 rebounds. It can be said that the Nuggets are no worse than the Thunder in terms of player performance. What is most praised by the people who eat melons is that this year’s three lottery shows have performed well in this game. This made countless jokes of the 2016 rookie dumbfounded.

After the game, Donovan also praised the other party unabashedly.

“The Nuggets are a very dynamic team. They have a lot of very talented players, excellent tactics, and the players cooperate with each other very tacitly. I think when the players grow up, they will definitely become ours. A very strong competitor. I think maybe they can do it this season.” To praise your opponent is to praise yourself.

Early the next morning, the Thunder went to the airport and left Denver.

Back in Oklahoma City, An Luo felt relieved. This time, I went to three cities in just four days, and it was really exhausting. Of course, the most unaccustomed is the climate on the Denver Plateau, a bit depressing. Far from being as easy as Oklahoma City.

However, they can’t rest for the time being.

Because the Thunder still had one game to play that night. The opponent is the Detroit Pistons who have played before. It is also interesting to say that the last time I went to Detroit was back to back, this time I was back to back in Oklahoma City. In the regular season, I played against the Eastern Conference team twice, each time I added a DeBuff to the Thunder to prevent them from getting better! Judging from the record of the two teams, the Thunder have 7 wins and 3 losses in the past 10 games. And this time it was at his home court, and Donovan would definitely not let the opponent take the victory away.

That night, with the finale of Westbrook, Chesapeake Energy Arena burst into unparalleled cheers.

“O~K~C~”

“O~K~C~”

Both sides jumped the ball and the Pistons attacked first.

Ismail Smith took the ball across the center line and handed it to Harris on the left elbow. The latter did not hesitate, facing Robertson, it was a mid-range shot. As the number one scorer in the Pistons, he showed great offensive desire from the beginning.

Robertson raised his right hand and directly covered the opponent’s eyes. This is a very practical technique that affects shooting by affecting the opponent’s aim at the basket.

“boom!”

The basketball hit the edge of the hoop. Westbrook grabbed the rebound and directly launched a counterattack.

The ball was passed to Sabonis during the march, who took the free throw line. Didn’t get in either! But Adams grabbed an offensive rebound. He tried twice, but Drummond got stuck and couldn’t get up, so he immediately divided the ball. Oladipo made a three-pointer after receiving the ball from the right corner. Still not!

Continuous strikes made Chesapeake Energy Arena constantly sigh.

Harris got the rebound. He made a long pass directly and threw it to Morris who had already passed the center line. The latter stepped to the free throw line in two steps, twisted his waist, passed Oladipo, and scored a layup.

Finally scored!

There was a burst of cheers on the visiting team’s bench, and it seemed that it was about to enter a normal state.

But in fact, they didn’t score a single point for the next 6 minutes. And with Westbrook’s rapid advancement, an accelerated change of direction, after the lightning hit the penalty area and hit a layup, the Thunder made a 14-0 wave to open the score.

Seeing that his players were beaten so that North could not be found, Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy called a timeout. The Pistons’ record this season has improved. So far, with 9 wins and 9 losses, they rank sixth in the Eastern Conference and are hopeful of reaching the playoffs.

Van Gundy repeatedly emphasized the word “defense”. His team has always been defensive first, but this time, the Pistons players are not doing well. So he has to remind him.

After the timeout came back, Drummond scored Morris on the right corner after receiving the pass from Smith. The latter faced Sabonis and made a step backward and hit! After breaking the Pistons’ scoring drought that had lasted half a quarter of the game~www.wuxiax.com~ Then, Donovan let Anro and Kanter come on to replace Oladipo and Adams. They have to take a break first, after all, they have to play in the second quarter.

After focusing on defense, the Pistons drew a tie with the Thunder. In the last few minutes, relying on Drummond’s advantage in the interior, he played several goals successfully.

In the end, the two teams ended the first quarter with a score of 29:17.

In the second quarter, both sides are almost a replica of the last few minutes of the first quarter. The Pistons played very hard, but they were unable to close the score. At the same time, the Thunder can’t directly open the score and take the game away.

Of course, for most of the second quarter, Donovan put the main force on the bench. So in the second half, the Thunder’s entire army was dispatched and the Pistons couldn’t resist it!

Westbrook completely became a traditional point guard in the third quarter and did some center things by the way. Under his organization, Anluo and Oladipo fully released their energy. These two people, a melee assault and a long-range strike, knocked the Pistons’ defenses to pieces.

At the end of the third quarter, the score was rewritten to 75:93. The Thunder entered the final quarter with an advantage of 18 points.

However, these 18 points did not make the Pistons give up the game. They took advantage of Westbrook waiting for a main player to rest off the court, launched the last counterattack of the game. Under the leadership of Harris and Pope, they chased the score to only 4 points!

However, the Pistons tonight can only do this! With Anlow and Westbrook hitting a three-pointer, the Pistons completely lost hope of winning. The all-out Thunder quickly pulled the score to double digits and kept it until the end of the game.
