Super Heavy Artillery

The whole of 2017, for thunder, is a year of transformation.

This year, thunder out of Durant cast the shadow of warriors. And, through the operation of the management, Paul George formed a new star lineup. At present, the running in has been basically completed. Everything is moving in the best direction.

Especially since the start of the 2017-18 season, thunder has lost only four games in two and a half months. Set the team's highest record of winning 14 games in a row. With a record of 32-4, it ranked first in the western region. It's also number one in the league.

This thunder, is about to play the best season in team history.

Two days later, the fighting broke out again at the Chesapeake energy arena. As the first game of the new year, thunder still wants to win. Their opponent is the calf led by the old chariot. Last time, Nowitzki returned to the top of the game. Although he was defeated in the end, thunder was still in a cold sweat.

So in the NBA, never underestimate any team. Maybe one night, one of the players will burst out. However, Donovan has always been very cautious.

Recently, the Mavericks have been in a very good state. They had a strong rebound at the end of 2017, including the Raptors and pelicans. Rookie Dennis Smith played very well, and the Mavericks chose a good player.

This game for thunder, is not as easy as imagined. Despite the return of Paul George, Robertson, the team's core defender, was absent for patellar tendinitis. This made it difficult for them to face the attack of the Mavericks. There is no substitute for Robertson in thunder's existing players. Despite the old driver's age, if there is no strong defender to limit him, he can still create great damage.

I can only hope for grant and collison. But the old and the young are really choking.

However, these are things Donovan and his coaching staff need to consider. As a player, ANLO just needs to do his own thing. He doesn't have the talent of Rondo.

In the end, Donovan let grant replace Robertson in the starting position four. There was no change in the other starters.

Mavericks side of the starting lineup, compared with the last game, it is quite a change. But Nowitzki is back in fifth place. Maxi colebel in position four. This guy, Anluo, had heard that he came to Germany and was a fellow countryman of Nowitzki. But the ability is very general. Position three is Barnes, the Mavericks can play one of the most. In the back court are rookies Dennis Smith and Wesley Matthews.

At the beginning of the game, the old driver couldn't jump Adams, and thunder got the ball right.

Westbrook pushed with the ball and, as he approached the three-point line, gave it to Paul George on the right. Grant leaned out and made a pick and roll. But Barnes and colebel changed defense very timely, Paul George had to hang the ball to Adams under the basket. After the latter took the ball, a small throw was made.

Unfortunately, the ball bounced on the basket twice and still didn't make it.

There was a sigh from the audience. I thought that we could sit down and watch the ball, but these two bumps, it seems that the time to sit down will have to wait for a while.

But at this time, Westbrook rushed to the basket like a flash of lightning. Legs suddenly force, the whole person soared to the sky. With the right hand raised high in front of the other player, he drags down the basketball and pulls it into the basket.

After a mountain roar of cheers, thunderbolt fans all settled down in their seats.

In return, Smith pushed with the ball to assist colebel, who missed the mid-range jump shot.

Thunder continues to attack. Because of the presence of an old driver, the speed of the Mavericks can't match the thunder. Westbrook and Adams seized the opportunity and directly hit each other with a precarious foothold. In the end, Adams made a layup.

4: Thunder's attack is not bad. Robertson's absence, there is no major problem.

Then, the Mavericks played a beautiful match.

Barnes received Smith's pass from the right three-point line, and then, under colebel's pick and roll cover, instantly broke away from Paul George's defense and went straight to the basket. Grant was not decisive enough to change defense, and was preempted by the other side, half of the body was stuck. Although his excellent arm extension and bounce give him a great deterrent behind local players, and in previous games, he has also had a beautiful chasing cap. But this time, Barnes was not given that opportunity.

With the success of the ball, the Mavericks found their own offensive rhythm while breaking the scoring shortage. Barnes continues to use pick and roll cover, on grant, to the thunder brought great trouble. But fortunately, the Mavericks are more vulnerable to their attack. So, at the end of the first quarter, the thunder was still ahead 32-28.

The stalemate lasted until two minutes left.

Anluo through his own movement in the left corner of the bottom corner to find an open opportunity, hit the game's sixth personal three-point goal. Help thunder to take the lead again by 103:100.At this time, the calf did not feel any difference. This game, thunder regained the lead number of times, is really too much. Even Carlisle believes his players will come back soon.

But then, Matthews and Smith in the pass, by Anluo robbed. It's his fifth steal of the game! The ability of a master is so strong. Before Matthews made the move, he had expected that the other side would do that.

The stealer Anluo, with the ball, crossed the midline. But by this time, Westbrook has already rushed to the basket. He didn't even think about it. He raised his hand and made a long pass. He pushed the ball over the basket.

Westbrook, who rushed to the basket, flew up again, straightened his right arm, and after catching the ball, he pushed the ball directly into the basket.

The gap between the two defenders made the whole Chesapeake energy arena boil.

Next, thunder firm hold its advantage. And when the other side had to use foul tactics, both Westbrook and grant made steady free throws.

In the end, thunder beat the visiting Dallas 113-109 in his own appearance.

After winning the thunder fans were very happy, but they did not forget to give Nowitzki applause. The veteran, officially ushered in his 21st year in the league. It's worth everyone's applause.
