Super Heavy Artillery - v3 Chapter 684
“Super Heavy Gun ( to find the latest chapter!
After a wave of strong offense widened the points difference, the Thunder fans at the Chesapeake Energy Arena cheered.
It seems that tonight is another big win.
There is nothing more worthy of the joy of these fans than to witness their own team win the game in the home stadium! What’s more, such things have happened in the past several nights.
Victory has been deeply imprinted in this arena.
The Thunder players also looked relaxed, sitting on the bench chairs one by one, communicating happily. If someone can get closer, they will find that these guys are not discussing problems in the game. From their words, you can know that after the game is over, these guys will have a pleasant evening.
Even Donovan relaxed his vigilance. Opposite is a tired division who is experiencing back-to-back matches, now 15 points behind. His own players played very well, especially the state of those core players. In this case, even if they want to lose the game, it is not an easy task.
On the side that belonged to the Trailblazers, the atmosphere became relatively low.
Lillard sat down on the side, with a towel over his head, without saying a word; McCollum was next to him with a face of silence. As the core of the team, this is not what they want to see. Especially for a star like Lillard who has a strong desire to survive, every game lost is very uncomfortable. Of course, the game is not over yet, but the difference is not big.
Other players have different expressions. Some people are like Lillard and McCollum, but some people don’t care. In fact, in the eyes of most players, this is just a regular season. There are 82 games of this kind every season. And they have no entanglements with the Thunder, so they don’t have to care about winning or losing the game.
The only one who seems confident is Stotts! As the head coach, he understands what he should do at this time. He is very aware of the abilities of these players under his hands, as long as these guys have confidence, the game will have a chance.
“Listen, boys. Now we are going to discuss how to win the game!”
The words of Stotts surprised the Blazers’ players. In this situation, how to win! But they also understand that Stotts is not a big talker.
“Actually, our offense has always been good. But, that’s not enough! We need to improve our scoring ability to the best possible state… The second is defense! We can win by doing two things…”
While analyzing, Stotts sketched on the tactical board with a pen. His thinking is very clear, using defense to cut the connection between the Thunder players and strangle An Luo. On the offensive end, all the **** are handed over to Lillard to handle, and others use pick-and-rolls and off-the-ball screens to help him create shots. The feel of many players needs a lot of shots to develop, especially players like Lillard and Curry. Furthermore, with Whiteside and Collins on the court, the Blazers do not suffer from rebounds. Even if the hit rate is not high, it can guarantee enough opportunities for a second attack.
The Trail Blazers in the fourth quarter, after Stotts’ adjustments, instantly became another team.
After losing two consecutive shots, Lillard finally announced his return with an ultra-long three-pointer. Then, he directly turned into a shooting machine, firing frequently in the long space from the three-point line to the center line, setting off a strong wave of scoring.
When Lillard made the third three-pointer in this quarter, Donovan couldn’t help calling a timeout.
At this time, I have to admire Stotts’ on-the-spot command and Lillard’s ability to adjust. Especially for the latter, he still maintains enough confidence to take shots after throwing the ball continuously, and other players including the coaching staff are very supportive of him, which is great. Of course, Lillard did not live up to the Blazers’ expectations in the end. That ultra-long three-pointer made him put on his watch and began to dominate the court.
Donovan didn’t make many adjustments. The Thunder’s performance in these two minutes was not bad. Although Anlo was targeted by the opponent and unable to let go to score, Westbrook and Gallinari performed well on the offensive end. However, Lillard’s three-point offensive was too fierce, and Donovan had to pause the game to interrupt the opponent’s rhythm and destroy the opponent’s touch.
Unfortunately, the effect is not particularly obvious.
After returning from the timeout, Westbrook’s acceleration after a pause went past Lillard, and then went into the penalty area, then used his feet and his body rose into the sky, facing Whiteside with a one-handed snap.
Boom!
The Chesapeake Energy Arena suddenly boiled!
For Westbrook such a goal ~www.mtlnovel.com~ has been rarely seen in these two seasons. The monster turtle who used to charge and break into the game has slowly evolved into an organizer on the court in the first two seasons. After the edges and corners of his body have been polished and smoothed by the years, the Chesapeake Energy Arena has less cheers. A lot. At this moment everyone saw Westbrook roaring up to the sky again, which was indeed very exciting.
Before the enthusiasm cooled down, Lillard suddenly shot a cold arrow one meter before the center line, hitting a super long three-pointer again.
The Chesapeake Energy Arena fell silent in an instant.
After the goal was scored, Lillard pointed to the watch on his right wrist and announced to the arena that his time had come. It seems extremely arrogant, but for most people in this arena, they can only boo.
Being splashed with cold water is uncomfortable. Therefore, Westbrook continued to attack the Blazers’ penalty area with the ball.
This is exactly the situation Stotts hopes to see.
In the next few minutes, the duel between Lillard and Westbrook at the two positions became the focus of the game.
Of course, the duel between the two superstars is really good, but Westbrook is clearly underdog. In fact, the offensive efficiency of both sides is very good, but Westbrook rushed into the crowd to score and it looks harder than Lillard standing outside the three-point line.
The Thunder’s leading scoring was quickly approached by the Blazers, which is not a good phenomenon.
But they can’t stop Lillard!
Although the Thunder’s defense has been enough to “take care” of the opponent, for a player who can score from the center line, defense is not a big problem. What’s more, next to Lillard there is a banner that McCollum is ready to take the attack.
