Chapter 396 Six consecutive victories

With Westbrook missing the last shot, the two sides drew again at 108:108.

The game entered overtime.This season, the Thunder rarely played overtime.In general, the big score wins.Or the opponent didn't give them a chance to drag the game into overtime.

In fact, at the last minute, the Thunder had a chance to take away the game.With 26 seconds left, the Cavaliers were 3 points behind the Thunder.Fortunately, the ball is still in their hands.

Tyronn Lue's consistent style is to hand over the game directly to James at this time.This time is the same.

There is plenty of time, and this attack must try to use up all the attack time.Otherwise, if enough time is left for the Thunder to complete the attack, the consequences may be unimaginable.

Therefore, James walked across the center line with the ball, and after passing the ball back and forth with George Hill, he stopped holding the ball.However, he has been communicating with his teammates all the time, making some gestures with his left hand, directing this attack.

With 7 seconds left on the shot clock, James moved.Moving with him, all the Cavaliers players including Thompson were present.In the end, with the help of Osman's cover from outside the right three-point line, he stepped over, pulled up and threw the ball.

For a while, the entire Chesapeake Energy Arena was quiet.Everyone held their breath, all eyes were on the orange ball flying in the air.No one wants it to go into the rim, so the Thunder can win.

It's a pity that God always makes things that people don't like happen.

"Shh!"

The crisp sound of the basketball passing through the net bag was transmitted to the ears of everyone present through the loudspeaker.A burst of sighs followed, and everyone was very disappointed.

James lights up his muscles in the middle of the court.

"Who said I'm getting older? Who said my key ball ability is not as good as before? Nothing has changed at all!"

An Luo folded his hips and shook his head speechlessly.These superstars are like this. They may only make 30.00% of their three-pointers in a season, five or six, and they may not make two three-pointers in a game.But at the critical moment, they can always make those incredible shots.They also believe that they can invest.

Just like James in this game, he made 4 of 1 shots from beyond the three-point line.Just made a three-pointer, but it was worth a thousand dollars.

According to their plan, the Cavaliers almost used up the entire 24-second attack time.In the end, the Thunder had less than 3 seconds to make the final shot.

During the timeout, Donovan decided to let Westbrook perform the final attack.An Luo and Paul George contain the opponent's defense and open up space for Westbrook.As long as Westbrook receives the ball in the paint, there is a huge opportunity to kill the game.After all, in this game, Westbrook's offensive efficiency inside the free throw line is not low.

Tactics executed well.Even better than expected.

Before Westbrook made a shot against George Hill, Anlow found an open space through Grant's cover.But time is so short.Westbrook didn't dare to pass the ball.Once time is wasted because of passing the ball, the opportunity to make a shot is missed.After the game, this matter will become Westbrook dumping the blame on An Luo.

As the boss of the team, he doesn't want to see such a thing happen.Therefore, Westbrook made a strong mid-range shot against George Hill.

Unfortunately, the goal was not scored in the end.

In overtime, the Thunder took the lead in making changes.Westbrook is beginning to return to the role he has been this season.Even if he has scored 30 points in this game, the Thunder need more people to share the pressure of Westbrook.Only when the inside and outside bloom and support each other can the Cavaliers' defense be most effectively restrained, and the game can develop in the best direction.

Whenever this time, An Luo is always the first one to stand up.In the first offensive round, after receiving a pass from Westbrook, he switched directly to offensive mode.He used a tentative step to sway JR Smith who defended him. Although the opponent was not too out of position, the little space was enough.

An Luo seized the opportunity and was about to shoot.At this time, JR rushed back quickly.An Luo bent his knees, and then jumped up slightly to meet the opponent's body.

After being knocked off balance by JR Smith, An Luo still tried his best to maintain his upper body shooting position, and dialed the ball before he fell to the floor.

"Beep!"

An Luo fell to the ground, and the referee's whistle sounded immediately.Westbrook and Paul George ran over immediately to see if An Luo was okay.But An Luo himself didn't care about these, he stared at the basketball flying towards the basket.

"Shh!"

The ball went in!An Luo clenched his fist and hit the floor a few times, very excited.

The Chesapeake Energy Arena was full of cheers again. Westbrook and Paul George pulled An Luo up and patted his butt hard.They are also very happy.After all, three plus one is not something that can be done casually.

Standing on the free throw line, An Luo took a deep breath and made the free throw.

This goal can be regarded as completely opening up the Thunder's second line of Ren and Du.Then, Paul George also opened fire.He shot from inside and outside and scored 7 points in a row.Helped the Thunder to stretch the lead to 8 points.

At the last moment, James was very tenacious.He continued to hit the inside to cause damage, and once approached the score to 3 points.But An Luo's second three-pointer in overtime completely killed the game.

In the end, the Thunder defeated the Cavaliers 128:122 in their own appearance, giving the opponent their first defeat since the exchange.

With the momentum of five consecutive victories, the Thunder went to Memphis on the second day to challenge the Grizzlies.In this game, Paul George, who was fully fired, made a big splash. While scoring 41 points, he led the team to easily defeat the opponent.

The Grizzlies are also in a hurry.In a few days, they faced the league's No. 40 Thunder twice.An Luo scored 40+ in the previous game, and Paul George scored [-]+ in the latter game.Every night is someone else's background board.

After this game, NBA players will usher in a very important rest period.

That's All-Star Weekend.

After that, most teams will enter a very difficult stage.Especially those teams that are still working hard for the playoffs, and those teams that are 7 or 8 every time, will do their best to play every game.The players will naturally work harder.
