Super Heavy Artillery - v3 Chapter 711
“Super Heavy Artillery (
In fact, by the end of the third quarter, most people already knew what would happen this night. After all, at this time, Anluo has scored 51 points, and there is still a whole period of time before the end of the game.
An Luo’s scoring ability has long been recognized by people inside and outside the league. But 51 points in three quarters are still amazing. You know, as one of the representatives of the new generation of shooting guards, An Luo’s previous single-game record was 51 points. Now, he has tied his record. This also means that in the last quarter of the game, every point he scores is creating a new record.
No one thinks An Luo could not score 9 points in the final quarter. For the milestone achievement of 60 points, An Luo will not be too difficult. No one would doubt this. Although 9 points in a single quarter, it looks like a lot. But for An Luo, that’s just 3 three-pointers. Moreover, An Luo felt very good tonight. It will be even simpler.
Of course no one thinks that Anluo will 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 that opportunity. Flushing data during garbage time is too bad! But the current situation is that the score between the two sides is very anxious. No one is absolutely sure to win 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 and basketball players who are following this game have been unable to bear it. A great achievement of 60 points in a single game is an achievement that is difficult to accomplish for the superstars in the history of this league. Many historical players have never reached this level. Even if the pace of NBA games has become faster, offensive rounds have become more, and scoring has become relatively easy. But being able to score 60 points in a game is definitely an amazing thing.
People began to express their opinions on various social media. There are people who marvel at An Luo’s explosive scoring ability; there are people who expect An Luo to enter the 60-point club; there are people who think that An Luo can’t score 60 points in the final quarter Of people, some…
It has everything. It’s not against the law anyway!
Suddenly, a game that was not too hot at first attracted the attention of countless people.
“Ann, now you can think about what you will say when facing the reporter later!”
On the Thunder bench, Adams joked with a smile. When Westbrook heard this, he instantly became a reporter on the spot, holding a Gatorade bottle, and asked An Luo at the bottom of the bottle:
“Ann, how does it feel to be in a 60-point club?”
“Well! I think it feels very good! But I want my team to win the game more than personal achievement. Of course, I like this way of winning very, very much. Haha…”
“Ann, the last quarter is the key to our winning the game. I hope to see your best form tonight. Your teammates will help you, let go and do it!”
Donovan also came in. It is rare for him to arrange the strategy and tactics of the game during the break. Instead, he added oil to An Luo. As a champion coach, Donovan knows that at a certain moment, his players should be asked to do what the players most want to do, especially when it is conducive to the victory of the game and the unity of the team’s locker room. At that time, he was happy to make such a thing happen.
Ever since, Anluo began to blatantly “scratch” points in the game in the fourth quarter! But no one would question his approach. After all, the Thunder can lead the score in the third quarter, mainly relying on An Luo’s scoring. The performance of the other Thunder players tonight is indeed not ideal. It seems that the good state of all the Thunder players is concentrated on An Luo.
The Spurs are unwilling to be the backdrop for An Luo on the altar. However, they must choose between winning the game and preventing Anlo from scoring.
Now An Luo can no longer limit through one-on-one defense! The Spurs’ defensive system cannot 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 are 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 shot space, or we can only expect An Luo’s hand to cool down. But An Luo, who has always been stable, even if his state does not explode, his scoring ability is enough to kill the game.
Furthermore, although other Thunder players are in poor offense, once the Spurs put too much effort into limiting An Luo, other Thunder players will have more good opportunities. In this way, it may be able to limit An Luo’s scoring, but it cannot limit the Thunder’s offense. You know, An Luo’s passing ability is not to be underestimated.
The Spurs ultimately want to win this game. Therefore, they did not make much change to their defensive strategy. In fact, their defense in this game is already very good. After all, at the beginning of the game, An Luo did not let go of his hands and feet to attack. But the Spurs’ defense made it difficult for other Thunder players to open the situation. At this time, An Luo took over the offense.
Soon, the fourth quarter of the two sides began.
The Thunder took the lead in attacking. It was Westbrook who held the ball. After taking the ball across the center line, he did not 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 won’t let An Luo get the ball easily. Therefore, in the area where An Luo is seated, at least two Spurs players are eyeing.
An Luo started running around the three-point line. When Westbrook is on the court, An Luo does have to play relatively easily, basically playing off the ball. An Luo only needs to run out of the open, and then catch the ball. Over the past few years, he has established a good tacit understanding with Westbrook. Therefore, An Luo never worried that the latter would not see him.
At the same time, other Thunder players also started to take action. Adams retreated from the top of the arc to the right elbow area, providing An Luo with the first screen. After being blocked by Adams, White did not choose to switch defenses with Aldridge, but speeded up and walked around, following An Luo. Then Anlo, who got rid of the screen and got rid of the defense, did not immediately pull outside the three-point line to find a chance to catch the ball. Instead, he plunged into the penalty area, and then turned back in front of White who was just pasted, slipping the baseline Back to the bottom right corner.
In the process, Westbrook did not stop his pace, but he did not have a chance to rush in. In fact, the Spurs have never changed Westbrook’s defensive strategy, which is to keep shooting. Regardless of whether Westbrook’s three-pointer is accurate or inaccurate, the Spurs have always blocked it beyond the three-point line.
Unfortunately, Westbrook does not 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 did not find a chance in the right corner, but his movement created a chance for another Thunder player on the court. When everyone focused on Anlow and Westbrook, Gallinari suddenly cut in from 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 the ball from behind, accurately giving it to Gallinari’s hands.
After Gallinari received the ball, there was not much time left to attack. Therefore, he didn’t hesitate to go to the basket, slipped the bottom line and bypassed Aldridge, who retreated into the defense, and hooked the ball backhand into the basket.
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 Anluo’s route to catch the ball was strictly 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 Anlow. In any case, passing the ball to the player with the best chance to attack is the most correct choice.
Looking back, the Spurs played a wave of tactics around Aldridge. Murray held the ball for the first wave of advancement. He got rid of Westbrook’s entanglement through the screen of power forward Lyles, but he did not get a chance to end the offense. The Thunder completed the change of defense in the first time. Although Gallinari’s defense is not very strong, but with his physical advantage, coupled with being closer to the basket, he will face a defender like White. That said, there is still some deterrence.
However, this situation is in the expectation of Mr. Vitch. Although White did not have a chance, he had a good chance to face Westbrook’s Lyles. After confirming that he was not sure of scoring, White threw the ball decisively to the left and back and handed it to Lyles, who went down. Although Lyles is not well-known as a player, facing Westbrook who is a bit shorter than himself in this position, he still has no difficulty in shooting.
However, at the moment he was about to take a shot, the twists and turns rose again.
Adams, who was pulled from the penalty area by Aldridge, returned to the basket. His retreat caused Lyles to fall into the back and forth between Westbrook and Adams. Even Aldridge can hardly handle this situation, let alone Lyles! Fortunately, Lyles had a good line of sight. He immediately saw Aldridge who was emptied due to Adams’s retreat and passed the ball.
After Aldridge catches the ball, he pulls up and shoots and scores easily.
Donovan shook his head on the sidelines. This time Adams was too impatient on the defensive end. In fact, he didn’t have to worry about Lyles’s problem at all. Even if the opponent can complete the shot, compared to personal ability, Lyles is certainly not as threatening as Aldridge.
The Thunder continued to attack, and this time, Westbrook finally found An Luo.
The difference is that the position where An Luo receives 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 at the basket. Still relying on the screen of his teammates in the process of running, but An Luo did the opposite this time, speeding up and cutting to the inside, leaving the Spurs outside defenders who reacted in advance behind him.
Aldridge followed Adams out of the penalty area, so that when Anloche entered, there was only one Lyles who hurriedly retreated in the area under the basket. He did not evade and ran into each other directly.
“Beep!”
The whistle sounded immediately and the referee blew Lyles’ foul. It is a pity that the basketball thrown by Anluo steady and did not make it. Otherwise, it’s a record of two plus one.
Facing the sky’s boos, An Luo took a deep breath into the basket, raised his hand, and made two free throws.
53 points!
In the next 3 minutes ~www.mtlnovel.com~ both sides started to score goals. During this period, An Luo made one shot, but unfortunately, he did not get the ball.
The time of the game was getting less and less, and the Spurs, who were still behind, began to irritate. They want to reverse the disadvantage as soon as possible, and then fight the Thunder. However, in many cases, the more impatient, the less able to approach the target.
Westbrook grabbed the rebound after DeRozan made a mid-range shot. He launched a counterattack from the bottom line, sprinting all the way. But when he rushed to the free throw line, the Spurs had already set up a circle waiting for him. No way, Westbrook can only choose to pass. At this time, Anluo and Gallinari were separated from each other, and Westbrook chose the former without hesitation.
After An Luo received the ball, he raised his hand to shoot, causing White, who rushed all the way to catch up, to rush forward. But An Luo made a floppy shot, seizing the time to lean against White who was flying up, and then raised the ball from below, around the opponent’s arm, and pushed the ball to the basket.
After colliding with the opponent in the air, An Luo fell toward the center line. The moment he landed, his arm pushed **** the floor, and the whole person was drawn far away.
“Beep!”
The referee’s whistle sounded again!
“Huh!”
Without waiting for the “unjust” call from White, the basketball pushed by An Luo had fallen into the basket.
The goal was scored! !
An Luo was also a little surprised. Although he originally had this idea, he didn’t have much confidence.
But now the goal is scored!
An Luo patted the floor with excitement a few times, before Westbrook came to pull him, he turned over.
56 points!
There is another free throw.
The 60 mark is close at hand.
