Chapter 884
In fact, by the end of the third quarter, most people knew what was going to happen that night.After all, at this time, An Luo had already scored 51 points, and there was still a whole quarter of the game before the end of the game.

An Luo's scoring ability has long been recognized by people inside and outside the league.But scoring 51 points in three quarters is still amazing.You know, as one of the representatives of the new generation of shooting guards, An Luo's previous highest record in a single game was 51 points.Now, he has tied his own record.It also means that every point he scored in the final quarter was setting a new record.

No one thought that An Luo could not score 9 points in the last quarter.For the milestone achievement of 60 points, An Luo will not have too much difficulty.This point, no one will doubt it.Although 9 points in a single quarter, it seems a lot.But for An Luo, that's just 3 three-pointers.What's more, An Luo's hand feeling tonight is very good.That will be much simpler.

Of course, no one thought that An Luo would have no chance.If they are now leading by 20 or 30 points, even if An Luo wants to score 60 points, Donovan will not give him such a chance.It's a waste of time to brush data in garbage time!But the current situation is that the score between the two sides is very anxious.No one is absolutely sure of winning the game.At the end of the third quarter, the Thunder only led the opponent by 4 points.This is definitely not a point difference that can determine the outcome of the game.

It has to be said that the Spurs' strong desire to win gave An Luo a chance to break the record.

All the media people and celebrities in the basketball circle who followed this game couldn't bear it anymore.Such a great achievement of 60 points in a single game is a difficult achievement for those superstars in the history of this league.Many players at the historical level have never reached such a level.Even now that the pace of the NBA game has become faster, the number of offensive rounds has increased, and scoring has become relatively easy.But being able to score 60 points in a game is definitely a big deal.

People began to express their opinions on various social media.Some people marvel at An Luo's explosive scoring ability; some people expect An Luo to enter the 60-point club; some people think that An Luo can't score 60 points in the last quarter of the game. people, some...

You can say anything.It's not breaking the law anyway!
All of a sudden, a game that wasn't too hot at first attracted the attention of countless people.

"Ann, now you can think about what to say when you face the reporter later!"

On the Thunder's bench, Adams joked with a smile.When Westbrook on the side heard this, he instantly turned into a reporter on the scene, holding a Gatorade bottle, and asked An Luo at the bottom of the bottle:

"Ann, how does it feel to be in the 60-point club?"

"Well! I think this feeling is very good! But compared to personal achievements, I hope my team can win the game. Of course, I like this way of winning very, very much. Haha..."

"Ann, the last quarter is the key to our win. I want to see you at your best tonight. Your teammates will help you, go for it!"

Donovan also came over, and it was rare for him not to arrange strategies and tactics for the game during the intermission.Instead, he fueled An Luo.As a champion coach, Donovan knows that at a certain moment, he should let his players do what those players want to do most, especially when this thing is conducive to the victory of the game and the unity of the team locker room. Sometimes, he is happy to make such things happen.

Ever since, An Luo began to blatantly "swipe" points in the game in the fourth quarter!But no one will question his approach.After all, the Thunder's ability to overtake the score in the third quarter mainly relied on An Luo's scoring.The performance of the other Thunder players tonight was indeed not ideal.It seems that the good state of all Thunder players is concentrated on An Luo.

The Spurs are not willing to be the background board for An Luo's ascension to the altar.However, they had to choose between winning the game and preventing An Luo from scoring.

Now An Luo can no longer be restricted by one-on-one defense!The Spurs' defensive system can't play a very good role in the face of the Thunder's more active and active rotation.After all, defense is a relatively passive side, and the Thunder is determined to let An Luo score more points.Under such circumstances, either start to double-team An Luo and use more defensive power to block An Luo's shooting space, or you can only expect An Luo's touch to cool down.But An Luo, who has always been stable, even if his state no longer explodes, his scoring ability is enough to kill this game.

Furthermore, although other Thunder players are not in good form on the offensive end, once the Spurs invest too much power to limit An Luo, other Thunder players will get more good opportunities.In this way, it may be possible to limit An Luo's scoring, but it cannot limit the Thunder's offense.You know, An Luo's passing ability should not be underestimated.

The Spurs still want to win this game in the end.Therefore, they did not make too many changes to their defensive strategy.In fact, their defense in this game has been very good.After all, at the beginning of the game, An Luo hadn't let go of his hands and feet to attack.But the Spurs' defense made it difficult for other Thunder players to open up the situation. At this time, An Luo took over the offense.

Soon, the fourth quarter of the game between the two sides began.

The Thunder took the lead in attacking.It was Westbrook who held the ball. After he took the ball across the center line, he didn't deliberately look for An Luo's position.Everyone knows that the Thunder will let An Luo score as much as possible, and the Spurs certainly know that they will not easily let An Luo get the chance to catch the ball.Therefore, in the area where An Luo is positioned, there are at least two Spurs players watching.

An Luo started running around the three-point line.When Westbrook was on the court, An Luo did have to play relatively easily, basically playing off the ball.An Luo only needs to run out of the open space, and then catch the ball and shoot.Over the past few years, he has established a good understanding with Westbrook.Therefore, An Luo never worried that the latter could not see him.

At the same time, other Thunder players also started to act.Adams retreated from the top of the arc to the right elbow, providing An Luo with the first screen.After White was blocked by Adams, he did not choose to switch defenses with Aldridge, but accelerated to go around and followed An Luo.Then An Luo, who got rid of the defense, did not immediately pull outside the three-point line to find an opportunity to catch the ball. Instead, he plunged into the penalty area, and then turned back to get ahead of White who had just pasted it. Back to the bottom right corner.

In the process, Westbrook didn't stop himself, but he didn't have a chance to rush in.In fact, the Spurs' defensive strategy for Westbrook has never changed, that is, they will not let go.Regardless of whether Westbrook's three-pointer is accurate or not, the Spurs always block him beyond the three-point line.

It's a pity that Westbrook doesn't feel good.Therefore, as long as the Spurs don't let him get close to the basket, Westbrook's offensive deterrence will not be great.

An Luo didn't find a chance in the right corner, but his running position created a chance for another Thunder player on the court.Just when everyone was focusing on An Luo and Westbrook, Gallinari suddenly cut in from outside the left three-point line.At this time, Westbrook decisively gave up the idea of ​​passing the ball to An Luo, hooked the ball with his right hand and threw it from behind, and accurately gave it to Gallinari's hands.

After Gallinari received the ball, there was not much time left in the offense.Therefore, without hesitation, he took advantage of the situation to hit the basket, slipped the baseline to bypass Aldridge who retreated in, and hooked the ball into the basket with a backhand.

This round is acceptable to both the Spurs and the Thunder.The Spurs played the defense they wanted to see, and the Thunder continued to widen the point difference.Only An Luo was very injured!The Spurs did not double-team him, but the routes An Luo could catch the ball were tightly blocked by them.Moreover, they consciously relaxed the defense of other players, which made Westbrook have to give up the idea of ​​​​passing the ball to An Luo.In any case, passing the ball to the player with the best opportunity to attack is the most correct choice.

Looking back, the Spurs played a wave of tactics around Aldridge.Murray made the first wave of advancement with the ball. He used the cover of power forward Lyles to get rid of Westbrook's entanglement, but he did not get the chance to end the offense.The Thunder completed the defense in the first time. Although Gallinari's defense is not very strong, but with his physical advantage and the position closer to the basket, it is very difficult for a defender like White. That said, it still has some deterrent effect.

However, such a situation was within Mr. Vicky's expectations.Although White has no chance, he has a good chance against Westbrook's Lyles.After confirming that he was not sure of scoring, White decisively threw the ball to the left rear and handed it to Lyles who slid down.Although Lyles is not well-known as a player, facing Westbrook, who is a bit shorter than himself, in this position, it is not so difficult for him to complete the shot.

However, at the moment when he was about to make a move, twists and turns occurred again.

Adams, who was pulled out of the penalty area by Aldridge, returned to the basket.His retreat made Lyles suddenly caught in the front and back attack of Westbrook and Adams.Even Aldridge is difficult to handle in such a situation, let alone Lyles!Fortunately, Lyles' vision is not bad. He immediately saw Aldridge, who was emptied due to Adams' retracement, and passed the ball.

After Aldridge received the ball, he pulled it up and shot, easily scoring the ball.

Donovan shook his head from the sidelines.This time Adams was too impatient on the defensive end.In fact, he didn't have to worry about Lyles' problems at all.Even if the opponent can complete the shot, Lyles is definitely not as threatening as Aldridge in terms of personal ability.

The Thunder continued to attack, and this time, Westbrook finally found An Luo.

The difference is that the position where An Luo catches the ball is not outside the three-point line that everyone is most familiar with, nor is it the elbow area where he often scores, but under the basket.Still relying on the cover of his teammates during the running process, An Luo did the opposite this time, directly accelerating and cutting to the inside, leaving behind the Spurs outside defenders who responded in advance.

Aldridge followed Adams out of the penalty area, so that when An Luo cut in, there was only Lyles who hurriedly retreated in the area under the basket.He didn't evade, and directly collided with the opponent.

"Di!"

The whistle sounded immediately, and the referee blew Lyles' foul.It's a pity that the basketball that An Luo threw out without stabilizing his figure didn't make it.Otherwise, it's one plus one.

Facing the boos all over the sky, An Luo took a deep breath towards the basket, raised his hand, and made two free throws.

53 points!
In the next 3 minutes, the two sides began to score goals from you to me.An Luo made a shot during this period, but unfortunately, he failed to make the ball.

With less and less game time, the Spurs, who were still behind, became impatient.They want to reverse the disadvantage as soon as possible, and then have a showdown with the Thunder.However, in many cases, the more impatient you are, the less you can get close to the goal.

After DeRozan hit the iron with a mid-range shot, the rebound was grabbed by Westbrook.He launched a counterattack from the bottom line, and he was flying fast all the way.But when he rushed to the free throw line, the Spurs had already set up an encirclement waiting for him.No way, Westbrook can only choose to pass the ball.At this time, An Luo and Gallinari were on the left and right, and Westbrook chose the former without hesitation.

After An Luo received the ball, he raised his hand and was about to shoot, causing White, who was running all the way to catch up, to rush forward.But An Luo made a feint, seized the time to lean on White who was flying up, then lifted the ball from below, wrapped it around the opponent's arm, and pushed the ball towards the basket.

After colliding with the opponent in the air, An Luo fell towards the center line. The moment he landed, he pushed hard on the floor with his arm, and the whole person rowed far away.

"Di!"

The referee's whistle sounded again!
"Shh!"

Before White could yell "injustice", the basketball pushed by An Luo had already fallen into the basket.

The goal was scored! !

An Luo was also a little surprised.Although he originally had such an idea, he didn't have much confidence.

But now the ball is in!

An Luo excitedly slapped the floor hard a few times, and before Westbrook came to pull him, he turned over and stood up.

56 points!
Another free throw.

The 60 mark is just around the corner.
