Super Heavy Artillery - v3 Chapter 712
“Super Heavy Artillery (
When An Luo stood on the free throw line, the fans in the ATT Center Arena gave him the loudest boo.
It is actually quite normal to get a boo on the road, especially for those star players. The more they perform well, the louder the opponent’s boo. This is actually a recognition of the player’s strength and state. Those little-known players who want to get booed away are not eligible. After all, who knows you?
But the current situation is a bit wrong. Those fans seemed to be filled with outrage, the boos even contained one after another swearing. Generally speaking, the regular season does not make the fans feel too excited, even if their team loses the game, it will not make the fans angry. Unless it was the yellow and green wars, the riding wars, the Lei Yong wars, and this season’s Los Angeles Derby, which had a lot of grievances. But obviously, the relationship between the Spurs and the Thunder is not that way now.
The initiator of this situation is An Luo himself. In fact, if An Luo rushed into the penalty area and caused a foul by a Spurs player and stood on the free throw line, the fans on the scene might not boo much. But it is really not so easy for him to get the approval of the fans in this way to get free throws.
Although the league’s style of play has undergone a lot of changes, and a lot of physical confrontations have been reduced, both players and fans still have a better impression of that tough style. In fact, people like Harden who like to use the rules of the game to score points are not particularly popular. Even if the skill of making fouls has always existed in this league, those superstars who are familiar with it can use it very well, but it is still not recognized by everyone.
An Luo’s ball was indeed fouled. After all, the opportunity given to him by the other party was so good, he didn’t think too much at all, and directly greeted him.
White, who was fouled, also looked helpless. He kept complaining to the referee. After all, it was An Luo who ran into him on the initiative.
However, the referee still talks about the rules, and what is found in the rules is a foul, he can only judge it like that. It is undeniable that referees also make mistakes when they are on the court, and there are many times like this. But regardless of whether they read it wrong or not, the punishments they make will basically remain unchanged.
An Luo stood on the free throw line, looked at the basket and took a deep breath, turning a deaf ear to the boos of the sky. After receiving the basketball thrown by the referee, he drove it three times on the spot, then shot the ball with a bow and arrow.
“Huh!”
The goal is scored!
An Luo scored his 57th point in this game. At the same time, the Thunder’s lead is also approaching double digits.
The Spurs have not been affected by this three plus one to their tactics and plans. Aldridge received the ball at the top of the arc, then held it high and approached the basket against Adams. At the same time, the other Spurs players also ran around Aldridge.
When Aldridge approached the paint zone, Gallinari on the side immediately let go of Lyles and doubled up towards Aldridge. Double team tactics have always been a very important part of the Thunder’s defensive system. For these Thunder players with very strong mobility, they are always required to maintain sufficient vitality during the game. Delays and double-teams after the change of defense are a good way for them to limit the opponent’s offense. Coupled with the tacit and timely rotation of the players, the Thunder’s defense has always been sound.
After seeing Gallinari leaning towards him, Aldridge reacted decisively. He held up the basketball with his right hand and made a posture of passing the ball. After Gallinari changed direction, he slammed into the force, pushed Adams behind him, and then turned over a jumper to score the ball.
In this game, Adams really failed to guard Aldridge. In their one-on-one rounds, Aldridge has always had an absolute advantage. This is not the first time this happened! In recent seasons, Adams has always been Aldridge’s bitter owner.
Aldridge, who was born in 1985, is now an out-and-out veteran. This summer, he will be 35 years old. For a player who relies on skills to feed on, Aldridge’s age is not too big, but judging from the games at the beginning of the season, his state has dropped significantly. In previous games against the Clippers and the Lakers, Aldridge had 5 points and 8 points respectively. Everyone felt that he was old and could not play the ball.
In today’s game, Aldridge breathed a sigh of relief. Although his tone came from media reporters and basketball commentators, he has no relationship with Adams. But this does not prevent him from using actions to break doubts when facing the Thunder.
At the beginning of the game, he hit a mid-range near the free throw line to open up the situation for the Spurs, and then he fired multiple shots in the three-second zone and near the free throw line. In the first quarter, he took 5 shots, hit 4 goals and scored 9 points. After entering the second quarter, his performance was even more against the sky. He came up to face Adams and hit a mid-range at a 45-degree angle on the right, and then he continued to hit the mid-range shot. Throughout the second quarter, he was 5 of 5, scored 10 points, 1 rebounds, and 1 block. In the second half, Aldridge continued the fiery state of the previous two quarters. He had almost everything on layups, mid-range, hooks, and throws, and once again scored 10 points.
A large part of the credit for Aldridge’s outstanding performance should be credited to Adams.
Although Aldridge’s offensive skills are quite rich, he rarely completes the offense by arching into the penalty area even if he is singles. More than 80% of his singles rounds are ended by mid-range. And this is the weakness of Adams’ defense. Adams, who was not active enough to change defense and was dragged down by the slow lateral speed, was most afraid of the kind of inside players with range and footsteps. And Aldridge is such a player. Moreover, in this game, his hand feels bursting. When facing Adams, it feels like how to vote!
This is also one of the reasons why the Thunder are still unable to determine the victory despite the excellent performance of An Luo. There is a player who wants and asks for something inside, and it is really not easy for them to open the score.
But now, no one laments Aldridge’s brilliant performance. Because the Thunder attacked again.
Westbrook quickly advanced to the top of the arc, observed it, and then passed the ball to An Luo. The latter did not act immediately, but stood in front of White in a three-threat pose.
At this time, White, don’t look at his calm face, he was actually quite worried.
In fact, White as a substitute player does not need to appear in such a situation. But the Spurs’ starting second position, Brin Forbes, was too short, too passive when facing Anlow. So White was defending Anlow for most of the game.
An Luo did not wait long. This is not the last attack, and there is no need to delay time deliberately. After slightly observing the situation on the court, he finished the draft. I saw him suddenly holding the ball and rushing to the right. His first step was very large and he stuck White directly on the left side of his body.
White quickly followed An Luo in pursuit, but An Luo’s speed was not slow, and he seized the opportunity, making his defense suddenly fall into a rather passive situation. Fortunately, DeRozan, who had been staring at him all along, assisted in time and took over the urgent need for White.
After being double-teamed, An Luo passed the ball to Robertson in the right corner in time. Although this guy’s long-range shooting ability is seriously degraded, his chances are really good. Robertson himself knew his own affairs well, so after receiving the ball, he immediately slid the ball to the bottom line and went straight to the basket. In the NBA, even the worst player, as long as there is no one defending, scoring will not be difficult.
After watching Robertson charge up, DeRozan hurriedly pursued him. Since An Luo passed the ball, naturally there is no need to double-team. Just as DeRozan turned his gun and chased Roberson, there was someone who moved faster than him.
This person is An Luo. When Robertson charged up, he also rushed towards the penalty area in the same direction. Of course, An Luo didn’t want to grab a rebound, he just passed there. With the cover of the Thunder players who shrank to the inside, Anroga quickly shook off the chasers behind him, and then took the right bottom corner.
Robertson gave up his intention to score. For one thing, DeRozan’s defense and Aldridge’s threat made him feel terrified. Secondly, he saw An Luo who had a better chance than him. Therefore, he chose to pass.
In fact, if it weren’t for An Luo to stand in the corner, or to push the time of the game ten years forward, Robertson’s chances are definitely better than An Luo. After all, he is close to the basket, even if he can’t directly score the ball, there is a high possibility that he will cause the opponent’s defensive foul, and then stand on the free throw line to score.
But the basketball system is different now, and An Luo has the strength to make everyone ignore the distance of the shooting range.
The ball came to An Luo’s hands, and Lyles, who was closest to An Luo, immediately rushed towards An Luo, but it didn’t help. His location is too far away, completely unable to cause any interference to An Lu.
An Luo didn’t think much about it. Now that the opportunity came out, he had to throw the ball.
When the basketball was dialed out by An Luo, the entire ATT Center Arena suddenly fell silent.
Once this three-pointer is scored, the Thunder changes the point difference to double digits, and An Luo’s personal scoring will officially break through the 60 mark. As far as the huge logarithmic audience of the ATT Center Arena is concerned, it is natural that they do not want this moment to come. After all, such a thing means that in the previous period, both the Spurs players and the entire team have been defeated by the Thunder.
“Huh!”
The goal is scored!
An Luo waved his right hand fiercely and finally opened the difference to double digits! He was very excited. If nothing happens, this will be another triumphant night. But when he turned his head, he found Westbrook and Adams rushing towards him excitedly. An Luo couldn’t help but smile: Hey! These guys are more excited than themselves.
“Man, welcome to the 60-point club!”
“From now on, you will be a 60-point gentleman!”
…
Waiting for An Luo to be surrounded by the thunder generals before he understood what had happened. Immediately, he himself became excited.
In fact, An Luo was looking forward to this moment from the beginning of the fourth quarter. He never worried that he could not complete this achievement. After all, more than half of it has been completed in the previous three quarters. He has never worried that his coach and teammates will not give him that opportunity. No one does that. He is not even worried that he will be completely restricted by the opponent unless the opponent surrenders victory, but I am afraid that the entire league will not find such a coach.
However, when Anluo was immersed in the game, he focused on how to help the team win the game. He only knew he was scoring, but he didn’t know how many points he scored.
Old man Vicki called a timeout, giving Anlo a chance to enjoy the joy of setting a new record ~www.mtlnovel.com~ After the timeout, the Spurs improved their defensive ability to the extreme. They did not concentrate on defending An Luo, but the entire defensive system has improved. It can be seen that the Spurs have been hoping to win the game until now.
However, the Thunder did not give them that opportunity. Although the Thunder’s offensive efficiency has become much lower under the Spurs’ defense, the Spurs themselves have not performed well on the offensive end. After all, the Thunder’s defense is not vegetarian. In the last period of time, Donovan directly sacrificed a set of 3-2 defenses and retreated the defense to within the three-point line. As a result, the inside area became extremely crowded. This also made Aldridge, who had been outstanding in the previous games, received a great impact on the offensive end.
In the end, the Thunder beat the Spurs 119:113 in San Antonio.
However, the outcome of this game did not receive much attention after the game. Almost all the media and fans have focused their attention on Anrona’s miraculous data.
In 32 minutes, 64 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals!
Anlow’s 64 points is the second player to score 60 points in a single game since the start of the season after Lillard; it is also the third player after the Thunder moved to Oklahoma and after Durant and Westbrook. A player who scored 60+ points in a single game.
What is even more incredible is An Luo’s efficiency in this game. 22 of 34 shots, more than 60% of the overall hit rate. Among them, his 13-of-19 three-pointers directly broke his own record in the history of the Thunder, and even almost tied the league record of three-pointers held by Klay Thompson.
In this battle, Anluo officially became the league’s top scorer.
