Super Heavy Artillery

The Thunder's three-pointers made D'Antoni helpless. The basketball he imagined should probably look like this! Of course, it would be perfect if it wasn't the Thunder players who scored those goals tonight.

Just as Anluo led the Thunder into a wave of three-pointers, the Rockets' offense suddenly broke off again! Sometimes, in some games, there will be a very strange phenomenon: when the players face the opponent's strict defense, they will play very well; and once there is no such defense, the players will become incapable of playing.

In the second quarter of the game, Harden used his own actions to demonstrate this strange phenomenon to everyone. In the first few minutes, his three-pointers, breakthrough layups, free throws, everything. But since the timeout, after losing the pressure from the Thunder's defensive end, he found that his shooting was inaccurate! The layup is also crooked! Even the referee doesn't give himself a whistle!

Other players, that's not as good as Harden! Especially Paul and Anthony! Although the latter has now been reduced to the bench, he was once a famous star in the league! The two made 2 of 11 shots, and they only scored 4 points, which is exactly 2 points for each. Adding Harden's 11 points, it is really disastrous. The only performance that can still be taken out to take a look at is Capela at the basket, 7 of 8 shots, scored 14 points. However, these are all fed by two guards with master-level passing ability!

At the end of the first half, the Thunder had led the Rockets by 15 points with 62:48. Before the start of the game, absolutely no one could have expected this situation. But he just happened! Although it is too early to talk about the results of the game, people's praise of Thunder and An Luo can no longer stop!

In the first half, An Luo played for 17 minutes and had already scored 32 points. 7 of 13 three-pointers shot, let everyone see the explosive scoring ability of this two-time three-pointer. After sighing, people are even more curious about what kind of data An Luo will eventually hand over tonight. After all, half of the time has passed now.

At the beginning of the second half, Donovan was interviewed by reporters on the spot. It can be seen that he, like all fans, was shocked by An Luo's performance in the first half. When asked how many points An Luo might score tonight, Donovan shook his head repeatedly: "We all know that Ann is a very good scoring player. He has always been focused, active and efficient in the game. It’s a very important part of our continuous victories. As for how many points he can score tonight! 40 points! 50 points! even 60 points! I think it is possible. He has that strength!"

As for the person involved, when he was interviewed by Westbrook and Paul George in the locker room by two "guest reporters", he arrogantly said: "I think I can score 60 points! But in fact I may not have that chance. . James and the others were so bad tonight. I can’t play the fourth quarter!"

After that, there was a fight!

Unlike the exhilaration of the Thunder, the atmosphere in the visiting team's locker room is very poor. Harden sat on a stool with a look of nothing to do with me, wearing headphones and leaning on the closet; Paul and D'Antoni intensively exchanged questions about the game, and seemed quite dissatisfied with the performance in the first half; The other players are also different. Anthony leaned against the door of the locker room, watching these guys expressionless. Perhaps, the dream of a championship has become farther and farther away from him.

In the following game, the Rockets did not give An Luo a chance to score points. As soon as he came up, Harden started his second half of the game with a three-pointer. Not only is he feeling cold alone, but the entire group of outside shooters that the Rockets are proud of are collectively misfired. D'Antoni has a rare game to change players so frequently, but he has not been able to solve the team's problems.

Donovan saw his opponent so inaccurate, he knew he could win. Ever since, under his adjustment, Robertson once again returned to the fourth position. The Thunder strengthened their inside defense, and the Rockets are even more difficult! Originally, they could still rely on the attacking ability of Paul, Harden, Gordon, and Capela to stabilize the score. But after the Thunder's defensive adjustments, the basket became a gathering place for personnel, and the space was completely blocked. In the end, you can only rely on the middle distance, which D'Antoni considers the most inefficient offensive method to score.

The offense cannot be opened is only part of the reason the Rockets are at a disadvantage. Their defensive problems are also quite prominent. In fact, this is also a problem that the Rockets have always had this season. The departure of defensive coach Jeff Buzdrick and Ariza, the third position, made this team that was at the top of the league in defense last season suddenly didn't know how to defend. D'Antoni is obviously not a defensive coach. It is said that Rockets boss Tilman Feltita is personally recruiting Buzderek. If the recruitment is successful, the Rockets should return to normal soon. But that's what comes later. In this game, they still have to bear the consequences of weak defense.

An Luo once again showed great power in the third quarter. He shook Gordon with a probing step at the beginning, then rushed to the basket and hit the board with a Takla stick. You know, such a goal is rare in the few seasons An Luo entered the NBA. Subsequently, he robbed Tucker's pass halfway on the defensive end and assisted Grant to complete a heavy tomahawk-style split.

In the middle of the third quarter, the Thunder had opened the point difference to as much as 21 points ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ At this time, An Luo once again held the ball at the top of the arc. Defending him is still Gordon with a round face. An Luo arched his waist and slowly dribbled the ball under his hips. At this time, none of the other players on both sides approached. The game became 1v1.

The offensive time is gradually decreasing, and the arena is getting quieter.

Suddenly, An Luo's shoulders sank, and his feet slammed into the front right. Gordon retreated hurriedly, but An Luo retreated after only one step. Gordon rushed forward and reached out to stop the ball, but An Luo had already pulled it up. He couldn't hold his hand, so he could only slap An Luo's hand.

Although the right hand was hit by the opponent, An Luo still completed this shot.

"Hey!" "Hey~"

The goal sound and the whistle sounded at the same time, An Luo patted the floor with excitement, and then a carp slapped and stood up. At this time, the Chesapeake Energy Arena is already boiling.

After steadily scoring a penalty goal, the Thunder opened the point difference to 25 points. An Luo played for another two minutes before being replaced by Donovan. As the Rockets still didn't get much better in the following games, An Luo had to check in early and get off work.
