Chapter 393
After An Luo led the Thunder to win two consecutive victories, they finally ushered in a very difficult opponent-the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Although the Thunder beat each other last time in Cleveland.But that was another team.The current Cavaliers have a new look and are full of fighting spirit.Neither of them has lost a game since the trade.

Of course, in terms of momentum, the Thunder did not fall behind.After all, they have now won three consecutive victories.Moreover, in this game, both Westbrook and Paul George returned from injury.When the Thunder returned to the Chesapeake Energy Arena to play against the Grizzlies in the last game, the reason why these two did not come back may be to prepare for this focus battle.

In this game, the teenager Osman started consecutively.In these few games, he has won the favor of coach Tyronn Lue.Even James had to switch to power forward because of this.The remaining three starters are: George Hill, JR Smith and Thompson.The newly joined Cavaliers Hood and Clarkson still came off the bench.

The Thunder finally returned to the regular lineup. Except for Robertson who continued to be absent, the rest of the players remained healthy.In fact, the Thunder's injuries have been under control this season.More than half of the season has passed, except that Robertson was injured twice and missed some games.People like Westbrook, Adams, and Paul George are all small problems, and occasionally take a game or two off.Others, not even a small problem.Such as An Luo, Grant and so on.

In the professional league, many teams are unable to fully reflect their own strength due to injuries, and many established tasks and goals cannot be completed.Still, it's a part of any sport.

The two sides gather in the middle circle, jump the ball, and the game begins.

Westbrook took the ball to the right and forced George Hill.The latter's defense is still very good.He stepped back straight away, getting stuck in Westbrook's path.After all, he is a player who came out of the Spurs and has been honing in the Pacers for several years.Unable to make a strong hit, the ball was hung directly over the opponent's head and passed to Adams.

After Adams got the ball, he directly pushed Thompson away, turned around and made a layup and hit the rebound.Opened the scoring for the Thunder.

That's the difference between Westbrook on the court and off the court.In the first two games, Felton brought the ball directly and handed it to An Luo.Under normal circumstances, this attack ends.But Westbrook more often cooperates with Adams to achieve a stable result.

Looking back, after James received the ball at the top of the arc, he saw George Hill running out from the basket and slipping the baseline.Without saying a word, he directly stuffed the ball.

The ball was passed very beautifully.Hill also shot decisively.But it just didn't go in!

However, Thompson grabbed the offensive rebound.He passed the ball directly to JR Smith on the other side of the three-point line.After the latter received the ball, he raised his hand and made another three-pointer.

"Shh!"

The goal was scored.The nerve knife is still a bit capable.

Both sides got off to a good start, and the scores climbed up each other until 11:11.

Then, after receiving the ball at a 45-degree angle on the left, An Luo took a step forward with his right foot.As soon as JR Smith moved, he changed direction and squeezed from the left.He dribbled the ball in with his left hand twice, and before Osman pounced, he pulled it up and threw the ball.

"Shh!"

An Luo leaned back slightly. He didn't look particularly strong, and his jersey was flying.Simply picturesque!

After this goal, the Thunder overtook the score in one fell swoop.

In the next few rounds, several players on the Cavaliers field became extremely cold and hit the iron continuously.The Thunder used this period of time to directly widen the score by a large margin.After Paul George made a layup, the Thunder opened the score to 21:11, leading to double digits.

Tyronn Lu hurriedly called a timeout.

Adams has been too protective of the rebound for a while.The game played 6 minutes, he has grabbed 7 rebounds.The last time he played against the Cavaliers, Adams ruled the penalty area alone.

Back from the timeout, James advanced with the ball.In the first half of the game, his desire to attack was not strong.More often, he plays the role of organizer.But the team's situation is different now, and the offense can no longer be opened.Tyronn Lue didn't have a particularly good way to deal with it, so he could only let James stand up and score.

Grant will definitely not be able to guard James, so on the defensive end, Paul George will go out to defend James alone.But this time, he was not able to guard against the opponent.

After James received the ball, he stepped over directly.He leaned on Paul George's shoulder and squeezed past Paul George's right side.Although Paul George followed closely, he was the one who reacted last.Go straight to the basket.James rushed up, but no one dared to pull him.Therefore, Adams at the basket can only raise his hands high and make basic defensive moves.However, that didn't help either.James rushed to the basket, flew straight up, and succeeded in a one-handed dunk.

As the boss of the team, Westbrook naturally can't watch the opponent play wild on his own territory.So, he immediately repaid the knight with almost the same action.

Westbrook carried the ball all the way to the three-point line.His body is not as thick as James'. After all, he plays in a different position, and the overwhelming momentum is not strong.But as a defender, his speed is very fast, and the impact he brings is also very strong.

With Adams' cover, Westbrook, who got rid of George Hill, drove straight in, facing Thompson with a powerful split dunk.

"This is my place!"

After the dunk, Westbrook said something lightly to Thompson.Then walked away with domineering legs, a look of pride on his face.

"OKC!"

"OKC!"

……

The moment Westbrook dunked, the entire Chesapeake Energy Arena erupted.They could no longer suppress their excitement.

The Thunder's current players are really perfect.With An Luo present, they never worry about scoring.This has been fully proved in the previous two games.With Paul George around, the opponent's arrow figures won't do whatever they want.Whether it is Durant, Leonard or James, it will be greatly reduced.With Westbrook around, the game never lacks passion.His breakthroughs, counterattacks, and dunks are all full of passion.
