Super Heavy Artillery
Vol 3 Chapter 511: Free throw line
With nearly two minutes left in the game, the Thunder finally tied the score.
After Anlo contributed three three-pointers, the Raptors launched the tightest defense against him. However, there are only 5 people on the field. The greater the strength invested at Anluo, the weaker other players will face defensive pressure. And there is one Paul George who can't relax. In this way, Westbrook's offensive performance becomes particularly important. Of course, his performance is impeccable.
After returning from a timeout, Leonard scored a crucial goal for the Raptors. Lowry took the ball across the center line and handed it to Leonard. In the NBA, basketball is always in the hands of the core players of the team at critical moments. These players not only have better fighting ability, but more importantly, these players have a large enough heart, which can often play a more stable performance at critical moments. Obviously, Nas pinned his hopes on the player who once won the FMVP.
The Thunder did not choose to double-team the first time, and the Raptors did not provide any cover for Leonard. The two started a heads-up match. Leonard held the ball and advanced to the right elbow, then turned to contact Paul George. Both are the top three players in the league, and they were deadlocked for a while. In the end, after Leonard turned around continuously, a large backward jumper shot the ball facing Paul George.
103:99, the Raptors breathed a sigh of relief temporarily.
However, Westbrook looked back and once again closed the score to within one goal.
Adams sent the ball to Westbrook as quickly as possible, and the latter passed the ball to the better-positioned Anlow from the center line. But Siakam's speed was too fast. He and Danny Green directly blocked all of Anro's shooting space. An Luo did not panic, and dropped the ball from Siakam to Grant who was ready to come up. After receiving the ball, Grant did not seize the opportunity to end this attack, but chose to pass the ball to Westbrook again. In fact, if Grant is more confident, he can make a move. He has a good chance.
After receiving the ball, Westbrook immediately broke to the right. Lowry hurried to the past, but Westbrook circled the ball from behind, twisted to the left and accelerated into the free throw line. At this time, the Raptors had no extra power to make up for defense. Gasol was entangled with Adams inside, and Leonard and Danny Green couldn't take care of the others. So Westbrook easily completed a layup.
103:101, the score once again returned to within one goal.
The Raptors continued their offense, and Leonard turned over and scored the ball with a jumper last round. This time Paul George did not give him that opportunity. Moreover, just when Leonard wanted to repeat the same trick, Grant on the side waited for an opportunity to double-up and directly blocked Leonard's direction of the ball. Unable to pass the ball, Leonard can only choose to shoot.
"boom……"
The Thunder's defense produced a very good effect, which gave them a chance to tie the score.
Adams squeezed Gasol away, took the rebound, and handed it to Westbrook. The latter took the ball straight to his own basket. He was so fast that he rushed into the three-point line in an instant. The Raptors' defenses were uneven. Although Lowry was the fastest, he still failed to block Westbrook's layup. After all, if there is no formed line of defense, it is indeed difficult to limit an assaulter like Westbrook.
After scoring the ball, the score became 103:103.
Nas quickly called a timeout. Oklahoma City's offense has been so smooth this time, and he feels that the players are a little uncomfortable. It is necessary to interrupt the opponent's rhythm, make some adjustments, and give the players a little breathing room.
After returning from the timeout, the two sides entered the most difficult time of the game. Nass and Donovan seemed to have negotiated, and both focused on the defensive end of the game. Whether it is the Raptors or the Thunder, each has strengthened the defensive strength of the confrontation, using more double-teams and rotation positions to guard against rigid defenses.
After receiving the pass from Siakam, Leonard plunged into the Thunder's crowd. Adams and Grant blocked the basket, Paul George followed closely, and blocked all the opponent's ball and layup space. But Leonard was not afraid. He played quite hard and took off directly. His left body collided with Grant, a lever with his right hand escaped Paul George's block and threw the ball to the basket.
This time the layup was very reluctant. But it is clear that Leonard did not intend to directly score the ball in this way. Immediately after he threw it out, the referee's whistle rang. The number of fouls by the Thunder is enough for Leonard to stand on the free throw line. This is his way of dealing with the Thunder's tight defense.
Under the sound of boos, Leonard made two free throws without changing his face ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ At this time, there is still 1 minute and 23 seconds before the end of the game.
The Thunder began to attack, the Raptors opened the defense directly on the three-point line, but when Westbrook burst to the free throw line, Siakam and Gasol immediately shrank back. Facing almost the same situation, Westbrook and Leonard dealt with them very differently. He didn't choose to shoot by himself, but passed the ball out of the gap. When Paul George caught the ball, Danny Green and Leonard immediately doubled over. At the moment when Paul George was completely blocked by the opponent, the basketball was passed by him to An Luo.
This time, An Luo did not throw the ball out the first time. Although Danny Green left him and ran over to double-team Paul George, the Raptors' defensive rotation was very good. Siakam reached the defensive position almost at the same time as basketball. Anlow took Siakam to move to the right, then suddenly moved the ball from behind to the left, then raised his hand and shook it. Siakam moved in accordance with An Luo's rhythm. The moment An Luo raised his hand, he opened his hands and jumped high. An Luo leaned forward, waiting for the opponent to fall, raised his hand and threw the ball.
"Beep..."
The referee blew the whistle again and An Luo caused a very critical foul. However, he himself kept shaking his head.
"It's a shame not to invest!"
Standing on the free throw line, An Luo patted the ball three times, then took a deep breath and raised his hand to throw the ball.
"boom……"
The first penalty was short!
Take another breath and continue to cast.
"Huh..."
"Huh..."
Not bad, two free throws were made. With An Luo's two free throws, the Thunder once again tied the score.
