Chapter 711 The Last Moment

The moment the basketball left An Luo's fingertips, everyone became nervous.

If the ball is scored, the Thunder will go ahead; if they don't score, they can only fight for rebounds.But judging from the current position of the players on both sides of the court, the Raptors have an absolute advantage.Once they can't control the rebound, the good situation that they played desperately for more than a minute will disappear.Moreover, if the Raptors seize the opportunity to complete this offense, all the efforts of the Thunder this season will be in vain.After all, the remaining game time is not enough for the Thunder to overtake the score again.

If this goal is scored, the Thunder will overtake by 1 point.Although the Raptors have the ball for the next attack, they can still take the initiative in the game.Even if they can't successfully defend the opponent's attack, they still have time to play an attack.

For the Thunder, the current situation is that one ball decides life and death.

"Shh!"

The ball is in!
An Luo breathed a sigh of relief.He made a lot of three-pointers in the game, including a lot of shots and even lore shots at critical moments, but none of them made him so worried.He has always been full of confidence in himself, but this time, the moment he made the shot, he was not so confident.You know, this is the last game of the finals.

Chesapeake Energy Arena boiled up.The fans shouted An Luo's name loudly, and he became the hero of the night.Even if the game is not over yet.Hearing the shouts of the fans, An Luo felt an unparalleled sense of accomplishment.He stretched out his hands, pointed to the fans in the stands, and then patted himself hard on the chest.

Nas called a timeout immediately after An Luo made the ball.In fact, he was ready to do so after the last bout.As long as they fight once, the current situation will not be so embarrassing.With 39 seconds left before the end of the game, the Raptors could finish this attack without haste.Overtake the score first, wait until the situation is reversed, and then deal with the Thunder's final attack.

When An Luo walked back to the bench, the Thunder players who did not play got up one after another, offering seats, water, and towels for An Luo.He was like a general returning from victory, and was warmly welcomed by everyone.

"Good job, dude!"

Westbrook hugged An Luo's shoulders, he was very happy, his unattractive face was robbed of the limelight by the big split mouth.An Luo really did a good job. In just over a minute, he contributed two three-pointers and helped the Thunder turn the situation around in one fell swoop.

Grant was also surrounded by everyone.Compared to An Luo with a calm face, he was a little uncomfortable with such a scene.After all, before Robertson was injured, he was an important substitute player, and basically he was not qualified to participate in the decision of life and death.Opportunities always presented themselves before him, and Grant just seized them.

The current atmosphere of the Thunder is indeed very good, but Donovan brought everyone back to a tense state.As a head coach, he is much more sober than the players.The more it looks like a sure thing, the more likely it is to lose the game.What's more, the current situation is far from being a sure thing for the Thunder.

"Well done, gentlemen. But it's not time to celebrate, the game isn't over. We've got an incredible challenge ahead of us this next leg. We can turn the game around and so can they. We must be vigilant, maintain absolute focus, and use our most tenacious defense to prevent their counterattack..."

"Paul, you have to lock that guy! That guy can perform miracles, we can't give him that chance. Steven, hold on to Mark, he is likely to be the end point of the opponent's offense. Ann... …Russell…”

Donovan has been emphasizing the issue of defense.He knew very well that the last 30 seconds were crucial for the Thunder to win the O'Brien Cup again.In his mind, the Thunder players could score 1 points in the first minute.But he knew that pride makes one complacent.It's annoying when these guys relax.Therefore, he had to stand up and pour a bucket of cold water on the Thunder players.

"Gentlemen, I have to remind everyone again. We can overtake the score, and the opponent can do it. If we relax, even a little bit, it will kill us. I don't think anyone here wants to see Others celebrate the final victory in this arena."

Donovan's words made the Thunder players calm down. No one wants to be snatched away by the opponent at the last minute.Therefore, after the timeout, the Thunder immediately entered a defensive state.Adams stood in front of Gasol, interfering with the opponent's serve, and almost all the others were concentrated near the free throw line.

"Di..."

The whistle sounded, and the players scattered on the field.The Thunder followed closely and did not give the Raptors the chance to catch the ball.Nas stood on the sidelines, so nervous that he had no timeout in his hand.Once the serve is violated, it's all over.However, such a thing did not happen, Lowry pulled directly to the backcourt, received the ball, and then passed it to Leonard.At such a critical moment, Nas obviously believed in Leonard more.

The sideline ball was not successfully defended, and the Thunder players quickly settled in their defensive positions.When Leonard controlled the attack time to only 10 seconds left, he finally moved.He moves toward the right corner with the ball, very fast.Paul George followed closely. He was always stuck in the direction where the opponent was closer to the basket, not giving him a chance to shoot.

Leonard hangs the ball to the basket and hands it to Gasol Jr.Then he reached out and pushed Paul George away without leaving a trace, and ran directly to the top of the arc.At this time, Siakam circled from the left corner to the free throw line, blocking Paul George.At the same time, Gasol Jr. passed the ball to Leonard at the basket.The latter had already gotten rid of Paul George through Siakam's screen at this time. After receiving the ball, he pulled it up directly and threw the ball.

In fact, the timing of Leonard's shot was not very good.Although Paul George was blocked, Grant switched defenses.The defensive pressure facing Leonard is not small, but the offensive time is running out, so he can only choose to shoot.

The basketball flies to the hoop again.Like An Luo's previous three-pointer,
