Chapter 603 maintain a winning streak
The time has entered February, and the NBA 2018-19 season has officially entered the second half of the showdown.Later this month, the league will usher in the All-Star Weekend.Every season, the All-Star is a hurdle.Prior to this, basically all the teams were constantly running in and improving their teams and adjusting the players' status.Once this point is passed, the great powers fighting for the playoffs will start to fight with real swords and guns.
However, for the Thunder, they have basically maintained their best form this season.Compared with last year, this year's lineup has basically not changed, and naturally there is no running-in.
After the focus of the battle with the Bucks, the Thunder moved to Orlando and easily defeated the Magic away.However, neither An Luo nor Adams played with the team in that game.But even after giving up two generals, the Thunder still suppressed the Magic all the way.In this campaign, Westbrook did more on the offensive end because of the loss of Anlo, who averaged 28 points per game.His efficiency is also very good. He made 12 of 7 shots and 2 of 1 three-pointers. He scored 25 points, plus 14 rebounds, 14 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.But Westbrook is not the brightest performer, Paul George is.He played 37 minutes, made 24 of 17 shots, 8 of 6 three-pointers, and handed over 45 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks.The powerful General Joe made it a pity that the Magic, which scored in double figures with 7 players, lost; it also made Vucevic, who scored 28 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks, a supporting role.
Paul George's performance amazed everyone.In the current league, at the small forward position, Paul George is not inferior to those superstars who have won FMVP.This season's performance, whether in terms of statistics or the team's record, Paul George has the upper hand.Especially this month, Paul George, who averaged 30+5+4+2 per game, is the most prominent one among all frontcourt players.Looking at the entire league, only Harden can surpass him in statistics.
After the game, the discussion about Paul George quickly became a hot topic on major portals and social platforms.
"Paul George is having the best season of his career..."
"The Thunder have completed the Westbrook-to-Paul George matchup..."
"Paul George deserves this year's regular season MVP..."
……
An Luo, who was watching TV at home, also had to give Paul George a thumbs up.In fact, An Luo knew the opponent's abilities best.Paul George could have played better.But in fact, Westbrook's share is also counted in it.As the team's leading star, the average number of shots per game ranks third, and it is on par with Adams, who is the fourth scoring point inside.This is extremely difficult.What's more, the Thunder still has An Luo, the apparent first scoring point.Under such circumstances, Paul George has done well enough.Switching to Harden, he would not be able to average 40+ per game in a single month.
For the championship, after all, something has to be sacrificed.
With an invincible momentum of six consecutive victories, the Thunder eliminated all opponents in one go in the first half of February.
In the first game against the Miami Heat, An Luo, who was selected as the third leader of the Thunder, went berserk.He made 9 three-pointers in this game, almost tying his career high.His fiery touch makes everyone else a supporting role when he is on the court.In the end, An Luo handed over 45 points, 3 rebounds and 2 steals.Not a single assist, pure shooting guard!
Then, in the game against the Celtics, the Thunder spent a lot of hard work.This is the last regular season match between the two sides this season.The last time at the Thunder's home court, the Celtics, who hadn't run in smoothly, lost the game.But this time, they are bound to win.The rhythm of the whole game is also ups and downs.The Celtics led the Thunder by 6 points in the first half with an overall shooting percentage of more than 12%.But when the game came to the Thunder's strong third quarter, An Luo and Westbrook both broke out. The former bombarded outside the three-point line, and the latter rampaged inside the free throw line.The Celtics were a little overwhelmed!In this quarter, they lost the Thunder by 21 points!In the last quarter, the Celtics star Irving stepped forward, shooting from inside and outside, and blooming from inside and outside.And under his tandem, the Celtics' Morris, Smart, and Horford all played brilliantly.It's a pity that with Paul George's voice, the Thunder's Big Three worked together and were unstoppable.
In the end, the Thunder defeated the Celtics again and completed the sweep of the regular season.An Luo once again used 40+ points to tell everyone: who is the Thunder's strongest scorer.At the same time, he also became another Thunder player who scored 40+ in a row.
"If An Luo is in a team with absolute right to shoot, how many points can he score per game?"
After this battle, such a topic became the focus of discussion among Anluo fans at home and abroad.But the protagonist of the topic didn't pay attention to these things.After defeating the Celtics, the Thunder returned to Oklahoma and defeated the Magic and Grizzlies successively.In these two games, An Luo's burning desire to attack finally "cooled down".But 32 points in a game and 28 points in a game are still the appearance of dominating the scoring list at the beginning of that season.
The penultimate game before the All-Star weekend is an away game against the Rockets, which is the second focus of February.In this game, people will pay more attention.For example, the competition between two MVPs, or the direct dialogue between the two hottest players last month, or the confrontation between the top two scoring teams... The same thing is, every point has Harden.It's like Harden fighting against the Big Three of the Thunder alone!
This game did not disappoint everyone.From the very beginning, Harden and An Luo started shooting three-pointers.Then, Paul George became the third person to step in.But Harden is not afraid, and he will not lose the wind in one pick and two.Harden is in charge of the offense, and the others put up all their strength to defend.The Rockets' defense at this time is not the beginning of the season.Under such a defense, the Thunder's efficiency has dropped.
In the first half, Harden scored 30 points!And led the team to a lead of nearly 20 points.
But in the third quarter, everything changed!Basically, the Thunder's reversal games all broke out in the third quarter.The Rockets are just the opposite. Almost all of the reversed games were caught off guard by the opponent in the third quarter.
Like the Celtics, the Rockets also lost to the Thunder who broke out in the third quarter.Even though Harden scored 52 points, he couldn't stop the Thunder's winning streak.
