Chapter 450 Six Three Points in a Single Quarter

Donovan watched the players' reactions and nodded in satisfaction.Never lose your composure on the field.Especially a character like Westbrook.If he loses his sense of proportion in the game, the Thunder's offensive system will be messed up.

In the third quarter, Westbrook, who was holding back his stomach, began to show off his power.

As soon as he came up, he intercepted Moore's pass to Rondo.In fact, Moore was really careless in this steal.Although Westbrook is a point guard, Moore is not a qualified forward player.His height is only 191cm, the same as Westbrook.And his personal strength is obviously a bit worse than Westbrook.After receiving the ball from his teammates, he tried to hit it in.But no chance was found.Westbrook went straight to the grab, making Moore a little anxious.He sees Rondo and scrambles to pass the ball.

Westbrook has quick eyes and quick hands, and with a wave of long arms, he went around and took the ball away.Then he rushed towards the other side of the field quickly.No one is chasing him!Westbrook rushed directly across the free throw line, then exerted strength with his left leg, and the whole person flew up directly, dunking the ball.

Westbrook, who successfully dunked, roared, and then returned to his defensive position with overlord steps.Although more than half of the bad breath came out, Westbrook didn't stop.This is reflected in the following defense.

Rondo still organizes the offense from the outside.Westbrook didn't post it.After taking a big step back, he bowed his waist and opened his hands.Staring at Rondo, he said, "Go ahead! You won't be able to get in anyway!"

Rondo ignored him, but he didn't shoot a three-pointer either.He actually has the least confidence in his three-pointers.He would not have voted if he hadn't really had trouble getting through.On one side of Rondo's body, he stuck to Westbrook's body, staring at him as he walked in.At this time, Davis also leaned over. He made a pick-and-roll against Westbrook, and then immediately went to the basket.At this time, Rondo's best choice is to send the ball to the basket.Then wait for Davis to dunk in and get an assist steadily.

But Westbrook is also a good player.His pick-and-roll cooperation with Adams can be regarded as the most stable and efficient tactic in the Thunder's offensive system.So when Davis slid down, Westbrook rushed directly towards Rondo.As soon as the ball left his hand, a black shadow flashed over.Rondo immediately knew what happened, but it was too late to react.

The basketball was slapped by Westbrook to Paul George on the right.After the latter received the ball, he threw his right arm vigorously, and the basketball was sent to An Luo, who was already close to the center line.He was the first to react.As soon as Westbrook caught the ball, he started to step back.A season of tacit understanding made him believe that his teammates would see him.

Facts have proved that An Luo's idea is correct.When he got the ball, he was right in front of the three-point line.None of the Pelicans' players are a threat to him.In fact, he could have rushed in and dunked one.But An Luo didn't.He pulled it straight up and threw the ball.It is too difficult for An Luo to encounter such an opportunity in this series.Moreover, now is the time to chase points, three points are better than two points!
"Shu~"

The ball is in!
56:57
The Thunder are only one point behind.

An Luo is very happy!He high-fived Paul George and Westbrook one by one from the halfway line.He needs such an opportunity to be able to show his value in the game.Those Thunder fans who came from afar were also very happy.The third quarter they have been looking forward to is here!Two consecutive successful defensive counterattacks, but they saw the Thunder in the regular season.

Holiday shook his head. He felt that he was negligent in allowing An Luo to score so easily.Gentry asked him to pester An Luo all the time, and he thought it was not done well.However, he will not let An Luo have such a chance again.It's a pity that Holiday's idea is not wrong, but the situation is beyond his control.

An Luo's performance has only just begun.

Davis scored a goal with a hook under the basket, temporarily stabilizing the situation.But it only lasted 10 seconds.

In the next round, Paul George used Adams' screen to get rid of the defense from outside the three-point line and made a decisive three-pointer.But the ball was missed!The basketball hit the front of the basket and flew towards the free throw line.Holiday and An Luo are the closest ones.The former immediately judged the landing point of the basketball, then stepped over, jumped high, and was about to pocket the rebound.But An Luo didn't compete with him for the rebound.Because he saw Westbrook rushing over.He understands Westbrook's ability to rebound.Instead of rushing to grab it, it is better to retreat. If the opponent controls the ball, it is better to retreat calmly.

Holiday was indeed the first to get in touch with basketball, but he didn't control it.Westbrook flew into the air and slapped him.An Luo, who had stepped back a step beyond the three-point line, stretched out his hand and caught the basketball.Without further ado, just pull it up and vote!
Come on!

59:59, the Thunder equalized the score!
In the next 9 minutes, An Luo was very active.He led Holiday all the way around the three-point line and the baseline.Totally tireless.At first Holiday was able to cling to An Luo tightly, but in the next few minutes, he was really tired.You must know that in this quarter, he and An Luo have been on the field and running all the time!
In those few minutes, An Luo got a lot of opportunities.He made four of five shots from beyond the arc!While helping the Thunder to overtake the score, it also withstood the counterattacks of Davis and Mirotic.

By the end of the third quarter, the Thunder had led the Pelicans by as many as 13 points!And the two most outstanding players in this quarter, Westbrook and An Luo, one surrendered 4 points, 4 steals and 6 assists, and the other scored 18 points!
That group of Oklahomans was really excited.This kind of performance is what they have been looking forward to.They knew that An Luo had that ability.You know, in another Western Conference semifinal, Curry, who recovered from injury, made 10 of 5 three-pointers, which really caught the eyes of Thunder fans.They also have a "Curry"!And this season, in the field of three-pointers, An Luo is better than Curry.

Now An Luo finally played it!He made 7 of 6 three-pointers in a single quarter, and his scoring ability exploded, causing the entire New Orleans arena to fall into silence.What's more annoying is that this game seems to have returned to the rhythm of the previous two games.Take the lead in the first half, get overtaken in the second half, and then lose the game.
