Chapter 188 A New High
An Luo had no idea how many shots he took and how many points he scored in the second quarter.It wasn't until the intermission that Westbrook said it that he felt a little surprised.

It's not because I was surprised by the high score, but because of Donovan's "indifference" to himself.He thought he would be replaced after playing for a while, but he didn't expect to finish the entire second quarter.

An Luo took 16 shots in the second quarter, setting a new career high.He made 10 of 4 shots from beyond the three-point line, 6 of 3 shots from the mid-range, and one free throw, scoring 19 points!This also created a new high for his personal scoring in a single quarter.At the same time, with the 5 points in the second half of the first quarter, he has scored 24 points, which is also a new career high.

In fact, An Luo's efficiency in the entire second quarter was actually not high.Compared with his previous two games, it has dropped a lot.But the sustained output ability he showed is too strong.In the confrontation with the veteran bench gangsters in the alliance like Lu Wei, he did not lose the wind at all.This is really not easy for a rookie.

Donovan looked at An Luo, his eyes began to light up.This guy is too worthwhile to exchange, even if it is worth 5 penns!
Westbrook was equally excited, and he was not at all unhappy because An Luo took up his playing time.82 games in a season, if each game depends on him, he estimates that he will die on this court.He needs help so that he can rest properly.If you can win while resting, that would be perfect.Who doesn't have a heart to win!

For fans, they will always be worried about the team letting go of James Harden.Now, they saw the shadow of Harden from An Luo.The best sixth man with strong scoring ability and active defense.

The only one who may be a little depressed is Oladipo.He came to the Thunder, not on the bench.This is already his third season. If he can't play well, the road ahead may be difficult.But he is not the kind of person who is very narrow-minded. If he performs well, he should naturally get more playing time, but now, his performance is indeed not good enough.

It seems that it's time to increase your training volume!

For Ingram on the other side, the better An Luo performed, the more embarrassing he was.You know, guys like An Luo, Jaylen Brown, and Buddy Hield have been compared by people since the NCAA.In the current match with An Luo, the opponent played very well, more like a second pick than himself.

Lu Wei, who was sitting on the side, looked calm.Although he was at a disadvantage in the confrontation with An Luo, after all, he has been in this league for more than ten years and has seen many talented players, so he doesn't care about these things with a rookie.As for An Luo's slightly provocative trash talk and behavior, it was more common.Who didn't have some edges and corners when they first entered the league!After a long time, it will be polished and rounded!

In the second half, Westbrook reappeared.Under his leadership, the Thunder still firmly suppressed the Lakers on both offense and defense.Looks like there's no way to win.

In this quarter of the game, Westbrook still has no desire to attack.However, under his tandem, Adams on the inside can be said to have enjoyed the imperial treatment for more than 10 minutes.

In fact, the Thunder now benefit a lot from Westbrook's players.Including An Luo, as long as Westbrook is on the court, he can only be fed a few times.Of course, whether you can invest in it or not depends on your own ability.

But among these players, Adams and Westbrook have the most connections and the most efficient.Basically, after Westbrook rushed in through Adams' screen, he either scored a layup or threw the ball directly to the basket and it was over.As for other matters, it is naturally left to Adams who is going down.

Judging from the current few games, most of Westbrook's more than 10 assists came from Adams and An Luo.These two are one inside and one outside, and their scoring efficiency is the highest in the entire Thunder team.So it is also the two points that Westbrook likes to give the ball the most.

With 3 minutes left in the third quarter, Westbrook picked up a defensive rebound on an Adams screen.This was his 10th rebound of the game. With this rebound, Westbrook once again achieved a triple-double. With 11 points, 10 rebounds and 13 assists, although he scored few points himself, the Thunder have always maintained a 10-point lead.

This is actually what everyone wants to see.Although the Thunder won consecutive victories before, they all played very difficult, and they all had to rely on Westbrook's god-level performance.Coach Donovan also knows that it is impossible to rely on Westbrook like this every game, so he hopes that others will also come forward.The players performed well in this game. Except for An Luo, Oladipo and Adams also performed well, scoring double digits in the first three quarters.

In the last quarter of the game, Donovan once again put Westbrook and An Luo on the bench.Oladipo took Kanter, Sabonis and others to play.

Ingram finally played a few good minutes and retained his dignity as the No. 7 pick.Facing Singler, he played very strongly.Seizing the strikes and mistakes of the Thunder players, Ingram scored [-] points in a row from outside shots, helping the Lakers catch up with the score within one round and retaining the hope of winning.

It can be seen that after Durant left, the Thunder did have relatively big problems on the front line.

But with Westbrook, Adams and An Luo back on the court, the Lakers were completely defeated.In the last half of the game, Westbrook finally had the desire to score.He first made a super long three-pointer to open the score; by stealing Russell again, he assisted Robertson to score a layup and continued to expand his advantage.

But then Lakers coach Walton's small lineup launched a counterattack.Nick Young scored 6 points in a row, chasing the score to 91:95.Fortunately, An Luo hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner to help the team stabilize the situation.

At the critical moment, the Lakers suddenly turned off.First, Russell made a three-point shot, and used Ingram to hit the inside to cause Adams to foul, but missed two free throws.During this period, Westbrook turned on the killing mode, first hit a three-pointer with a jumper, and then succeeded in a mid-range shot. With 1 minute and 49 seconds left in the game, the Thunder led 108-91, and the victory lost suspense.

In this game, Westbrook is still the well-deserved MVP, with 21 points, 11 rebounds, 16 assists, 16 of 9 shots, including [-] of [-] three-pointers, more than half of his shots, [-]% of his three-pointers, very good efficient.

Apart from Westbrook, An Luo is considered the best performer.Played 23 minutes and scored 30 points, leading the game in scoring.At the same time, he once again created a new high in scoring in his career.
