Chapter 447 The Backward Pelican

In Holiday's opinion, An Luo is definitely going to make a move.After all, in the previous fights, An Luo basically just grabbed a little space and would make a decisive move.But right now, he just gave the opponent room to make a move.

Holiday knew it in his heart, and so did An Luo.He is playing first shot, but after throwing the ball like that, the shooting percentage will be very low.And Holiday has always been in a position of great defensive threat.A bad one may be hated by the other party!Therefore, An Luo feinted a shot.

Holiday, who jumped up, realized that he had been fooled when he saw that An Luo had taken the ball back.But his reaction is not slow!After landing, the legs exert strength and bounce up again.Reach out and interfere with An Luo's shooting.

At this moment, an idea flashed in An Luo's head.He leaned forward, leaned towards Holiday, and then exerted strength to pull him up.The two collided, but An Luo was prepared, and his upper body moved slightly to the left, enough for him to throw the ball.

"beep~"

The referee's whistle sounded, and then the basketball fell into the net bag.

An Luo watched the referee's gesture, slapped the floor hard, and then stood up holding the hands of the company commander and Grant.The Chesapeake Energy Arena began to boil, and as the slow motion of An Luo's shot was replayed over and over again, the fans became more and more emotional.What better way to score than 3+1?An Luo himself was also very comfortable.The aggrieved mood that was suppressed for two games was completely released in this one ball.

Stand on the free throw line, make free throws and add free throws steadily.Under the leadership of An Luo, the Thunder widened the point difference to double digits.

At this time, Gentry couldn't sit still.He quickly called a timeout!The situation was getting out of control and he had to arrange something.Donovan also took this opportunity to replace all his main players on the field.He knew that Gentry would try his best to catch up with the score.

After returning from the timeout, the two sides began the most intense battle.The Pelicans still focus on Davis and Mirotic.These two guys are indeed the most stable players in the Pelicans lineup.Although Davis has been troubled by fouls, his deterrence around the basket has not diminished at all.He still played strongly, and Adams still couldn't stand it.

However, the Thunder's offense this time was smoother than the previous game.Paul George is still the core of the offense on the field. Whether it is outside the three-point line or at the basket, he can maintain a very efficient offensive firepower.Westbrook still rushed in again, and every time he rushed to Davis.Since the opponent cannot be restricted on the defensive end, the defensive effect can be achieved in disguise by restricting the opponent's playing time.But Davis himself knew his own situation, and he restrained himself when defending.Although avoiding the trouble of continuing to get into fouls, the defense of the entire Pelicans penalty area inevitably dropped a bit.Gentry tried to get Mirotic to the rim, but it wasn't as effective as the compromised Davis.

Throughout the third quarter, including the second half of the second quarter, both sides fell into an inexplicable state of balance.The scene is still very exciting, but the point difference has not changed.The Pelicans have already tried their best to score, but the Thunder always have a way to respond.

As the saying goes: one effort, then decline, three exhaustion.After the Pelicans launched several strong offenses, they failed to recover the score.In the last quarter of the game, they were finally discouraged.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Thunder launched the final charge.Westbrook took the lead in the charge and succeeded at the basket again and again.At this time, the Pelican Twin Towers are very dangerous.Davis had 4 fouls and Mirotic had 5 fouls.As long as Westbrook and Paul George rushed past the Pelicans' perimeter defense, Davis and Mirotic would not dare to pounce easily.

With 7 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Mirotic finally graduated with full fouls.It was Westbrook who sent him away!He advanced to the three-point line with the ball, and walked to the basket with Robertson's screen.The quality of Robertson's pick-and-roll this time was very high, and Rondo was blocked firmly.Mirotic could only leave Robertson, fill in Rondo's position, and dislocate Westbrook.It stands to reason that the big defense against the small does not suffer too much, but the speed is really the most deadly point of those big men.In the NBA, all guards who can be called stars are good players who play big.Westbrook swerved away from Mirotic after a few changes of direction, and then made a layup.Perhaps Mirotic felt that his face was dull, so he made a very inappropriate defensive move.He chased Westbrook, jumped up from behind, and slapped the basketball.He was tall, but Westbrook dodged slightly in the air, and the slap hit Westbrook's hand.

"beep~"

When the whistle sounded, Gentry held his head directly with his hands, looking very helpless.

Without Mirotic, the Pelicans' situation is even more difficult.Davis was also tired. He missed three consecutive layups at the basket, which was tantamount to directly announcing the result of the game.Because the Thunder seized these opportunities and played a wave of 10:0, widening the point difference to more than 20.At this time, there are still 6 minutes before the end of the game, but depending on the situation of the two sides, the Pelicans have no hope.

After 3 minutes, Gentry replaced all his main players and officially surrendered.It really doesn't make any sense to fight any further!Donovan immediately withdrew his main players, and they naturally had the chance to win.

Under the cheers and shouts of more than 118 spectators in the Chesapeake Energy Arena, the two sides played the last few minutes.In the end, the Thunder once again defeated the Pelicans 99:2 at home, rewriting the series to 0:[-].

After the game, Davis returned to the locker room without saying a word.At this time, people can no longer see the high-spirited expression on his body.At that time, they swept the Blazers to advance to the Western Conference semifinals.They even said that they will go further in the playoffs.But who would have thought that reality would be so cruel.Now that the Thunder have led by two games, they must seize the next two home games to bring the score back.Otherwise, this time the playoff journey will come to an end.

Thunder fans are happy!What they have been looking forward to now seems very likely.Thunder players like An Luo stayed on the field and shared the joy of victory with the fans.The next time I return to the Chesapeake Energy Arena, it will most likely be the Western Conference Finals!Of course, this is just what Thunderclap people think.But they do have this strength!
