The Cavaliers withstood the onslaught of the Thunder Big Three in the second quarter.

There was no Irving, but there was George, who single-handedly resisted the team's offensive burden with James off the floor.

The Thunder finished the first half with a four-point lead over the Cavaliers at 61:57.

With 61 points in the half, the Thunder's firepower is still very ferocious, but the Cavaliers' three-point shooting from the outside tonight is quite good.

Smith, James, George all hit more than two three-pointers.

It was by relying on an extremely high three-point shooting rate that the Cavaliers did not let the Thunder pull away.

On the Thunder's side, Li Liang scored 20 points efficiently again, and now he is getting more and more comfortable scoring.

The advantage of combining inside and outside is here, and it is becoming more and more difficult for opponents to guard against him.

It's like Michael Jordan back then, if you want to guard against him, you can only use the rough Jordan rule.

However, according to the current league's penalty chasing rules, the Pistons play half a game, and it is estimated that there will not be enough people on the court.

Durant and Westbrook played normally, Westbrook still played fiercely, and Durant felt bad in the second quarter, a bit of a walk and rest on the court.

You, the guy with the highest salary on the team, are resting on the field? What does this mean?

It can only be said that the Thunder's lineup is indeed too strong, Durant just doesn't want to rest, Li Liang and Wei Shao have the ball in their hands, and he has no choice!

At the start of the second half, Li Liang sat down on the court to rest, and Durant could finally continue to fire at full power.

Durant's opening catch from the outside is a three-point shot!

At 64:57, the Cavaliers are under a lot of pressure, and this kind of indiscriminate offense that ignores the defense is really fatal.

It's enough to have one Durant, and there's one Li Liang on the bench.

The two of them are almost the strongest indiscriminate offensive masters in the league.

It doesn't matter who the defender in front of you is, whether you defend it or not, the basket is there, not far or close, and there is a three-point shot.

Whether you can enter or not depends on your own state and feel.

Durant recuperated for most of the second quarter on the court, and at the beginning of the third quarter, can he feel bad?

For a player, the impact of physical strength on the feeling of hand is very significant.

This is also the most terrifying thing about Li Liang, first of all, his physical fitness is almost unlimited, and secondly, his shot at a critical moment can be completely unaffected by physical fitness.

But immediately the Knight played a very nice combination.

George held the ball high with the help of Mozgov's block, and James went to the left low post to ask for the ball.

George gave the ball to James, and James took the ball and immediately made a ground-hitting pass to Mozgov.

Mozgov received the ball and took two steps into the basket, and dunked it with both hands!

This is a typical tactic of Blatter coaching the team, blocking, covering, and air cutting, with a strong team basketball color.

Then, the Thunder served in the backcourt, and JR-Smith and Dellavedova suddenly grabbed Westbrook and pushed him all the way to the right sideline.

Westbrook had to jump up and pass, the ball was intercepted by James, James killed the basket again, and scored with one hand!

The Cavaliers were in pretty good form tonight, and in the second half they suddenly stepped up their defense, forcing the Thunder to make mistakes and disrupt the Thunder's pass.

For a team like the Thunder with a relatively simple offense, a pass is important.

As soon as the pass is in place, the rhythm of the ball carrier will not be chaotic, like Durant can even pull up and throw it.

As soon as the pass is messed up, the ball carrier will have to readjust, and the success rate of the attack will be reduced.

So dealing with the Thunder and pressuring Westbrook is a consensus, they all say that he burns the CPU, but no matter how much he burns, he is also the point guard of the Thunder and the offensive engine of the team.

At 64:61, the Cavaliers chased a 3-pointer.

Then, Durant was caught in the low post and moved the ball wide to Robertson on the wing.

Robertson is no longer like at the beginning of the season, when he didn't dare to shoot from the outside, and now he will shoot resolutely, because if he doesn't vote, he will be scolded by Li Liang.

But he still didn't shoot as he did at the start of the season.

"Bang!"

A 45-degree three-point shot from the left side missed.

"You can't even vote for this! Empty seats! Take a look! ”

Li Liang's voice came from behind again.

It's so difficult, if you don't vote, you will be scolded, and if you don't vote, you will be scolded.

Now the Thunder role players are more afraid of Li Liang than Donovan.

Donovan is still reasonable in the end, Li Liang......

Although I silently told myself in my heart that I wanted to treat myself as a mortal, sometimes I still couldn't control it.

Especially in the matter of three-point shooting, Li Liang can't afford to waste the opportunity to empty three points.

The Cavaliers had a chance to equalize.

Dellavedova burst into the interior and passed back to James, who was on the outside.

The moment James received the ball, his hand almost touched the ball, and he immediately "swatted" the ball into the inside line.

Because Mozgov was going to be in a deep position in the three-second zone.

After receiving the ball, Mozgov dribbled the ball against Adams, turned and hit a hook with his left hand.

The distance was too close, the location was too good for Adams to prevent.

64:63, all of a sudden there is only 1 point missing.

Except for a three-pointer from Durant, the Thunder didn't have a decent offense.

It still depends on Durant.

This time, Durant no longer asked for the ball in the low post, but slipped out of the bottom line, received a pass from Westbrook, and hit a pull-up jump shot.

It's a regular set of Thunder tactics, and it's pretty easy to use.

Then, JR-Smith received a pass from James on the outside and hit the three-point shot!

This is already the ninth three-pointer the Cavaliers have made tonight!

66:66, the two sides are tied!

The form of the knight is quite good.

Durant is a little angry, holding the ball on the outside and killing the basket with the help of blocking and dismantling!

Mozgov changed defenses and came to the top of Taishan, almost breaking Durant's small hemp pole.

"Beep!" The referee blew the whistle and blew for a foul.

The ball Mozgov was a bit heading at people, with a noticeable downward press.

Durant had a good temper and didn't react at all.

Li Liang looked at his teammates and shouted to the court, "You kind of pressure me!" Come at me! ”

The referee signaled to Li Liang not to go too far and be careful of being whistled for a technical foul.

The referee was already very polite to Li Liang, and if someone else was such a beep, he would have been whistled for a technical foul.

Or if you laugh, you may also be blown off.

Durant hit both free throws, and so far in the third quarter, no one else on the Thunder team has scored.

This is the difference between Durant and James and Li Liang, who is always a little behind in guiding his teammates to score.

Immediately, James also made a foul on the offensive end.

He received the pass in the low post, hit Roberson with his back, and a very quick turn to go to the baseline to the basket for a layup, which was violated by Adams.

It was also two free throws, and the offense on both sides was excellent.

Subsequently, Durant missed a three-point shot from the high post, and Robertson grabbed the rebound in the front court and made a rebound.

70:68, the scores on both sides alternately rise, lead, draw, lead, draw.

James immediately assisted George, hitting a mid-range jumper in the right corner.

70:70, it's tied again!

George's projection has really improved a lot this season.

After the start of the third quarter, the two sides rarely hit the iron, you score a ball, I score a ball, and the competition is quite exciting.

The Cavaliers are in good spirits and good shape playing at home, and the Thunder are also on a winning streak to keep their No. 1 spot in the league.

Fans also enjoyed watching it, and the live broadcast of the game in the United States was highly anticipated and really good-looking.

Just then, Donovan called a timeout.

A short 20-second pause, then his hand pointed to the bench.

Li Liang slowly got up from the bench, and it was his turn to appear.

Cavaliers fans feel cold in their hearts, this unbalanced hanging B is coming again!

The feeling of being evenly matched disappeared in an instant!
