At halftime, 64:51, the Cleveland Cavaliers led the Oklahoma City Thunder by as many as 13 points.
This is great news for them, and at least let them know that they have taken another solid step on their way to a 27-game winning streak!
They had a 13-point advantage, which made them happy, while the Oklahoma people didn't think so.
Kevin. Durant scored 14 points alone in the first half of the game, which is not a very bad game.
Because his average points per game this season is only 30 points, and 14 points in the half is already half of his average points per game this season, which can be said to be his normal level.
It's just that compared to the 14-point score, Kevin. Durant took 12 shots in the first half.
With 14 points on 4-of-12 shooting, Kevin Brown scored 14 points on 4-of-12 shooting. Durant's shooting percentage is really not good, if it weren't for the free throws, Kevin. It would be difficult for Durant to score 14 points on 4-of-12 shooting and 33-of-33 shooting.
So in such a situation, of course he will feel frustrated, after all, he is such a table, and Wu Dawei's table in the first half of the game is completely incompatible.
Wu Dawei scored 19 points on 7-of-11 shooting in the first half of the game, while he also had 2 steals and 1 block.
And most of them are in Kevin. Durant's body is also Kevin. One of the reasons why Durant felt embarrassed and even ashamed at this time.
After all, he was not able to play a good table when facing Wu Dawei, and at the same time, he made Wu Dawei play a good table, no matter how you look at it, of course, it will make him feel speechless.
After all, as the core players of their respective teams, the difference between the two people in the first half of the game is indeed the same as the difference shown by the scores of the two teams in the first half of the game.
Dan Kevin. If Durant can play more efficiently under Wu Dawei's defense, then the Oklahoma City Thunder probably won't be as far behind by as many points as they did in the first half.
It's really frustrating to feel like a gap like this. However, fortunately, the 13-point gap is not without a chance to recover.
After all, there are still 24 minutes of game time in the second half of the game, and as long as the Oklahoma City Thunder team playing away makes good use of it, they still have a chance to overtake the score.
Of course, they are well aware that this is going to be a very difficult thing to do, because their opponents, the Cleveland Cavaliers, are undoubtedly in excellent form at this time, and that alone will make them feel Alexander.
So at halftime, the whole Oklahoma City Thunder couldn't be happy anyway, because for them, the situation they were facing at this time was really bad.
After all, the opponent is not only strong now, but also in very good shape. Judging from the current situation, it is clear that the Cleveland Cavaliers want to win the game, and it will be easier than the Oklahoma City Thunder!
So at this point, the Oklahoma City Thunder are facing a very serious situation, and they have to play a much better game in the next second half than in the first half.
This is crucial, otherwise it will be difficult for the Oklahoma City Thunder to play a comeback in the second half of the game in such a situation.
After all, their disadvantage at this time is not small. So in such a situation, the Oklahoma City Thunder need to have a better performance in the second half of the game.
Otherwise, maybe what awaits them will be defeat, after all, at this time, the Oklahoma City Thunder is not far from defeat.
So if they can't bounce together in the second half. Then the Cleveland Cavaliers will have their 27th game winning streak, and at the same time, the Oklahoma City Thunder will also be another defeat for the Cleveland Cavaliers!
It's not something they expect to see, so at this point. For the Oklahoma City Thunder, even though they are feeling extremely frustrated at this time, they still have to analyze how they will deal with the next 15 minutes of rest.
After all, in the next 24 minutes, the Oklahoma City Thunder still have to face such a bad situation.
They need to take care of their table for the next twenty-four minutes. As well as the wild table of the opponents.
After all, in the first half of the game, they couldn't handle such a problem at all, so in the first half of the game, they could be said to be completely at a disadvantage and disadvantage.
And they naturally want to be able to do better in the second half of the game.
After all, they have already experienced an extremely bad first half of the game, and they naturally do not want to experience a worse situation in the second half of the game.
This is already a very bad situation, and they need to reclean the current pattern, otherwise, for the Oklahoma City Thunder, their situation in this game will definitely not be too good.
The atmosphere of the Cleveland Cavaliers is very different right now, after all, they are now 13 points ahead of their opponents.
For the Cleveland Cavaliers, they have a big advantage right now, so they can play their opponents Oklahoma City Thunder in a more relaxed manner in the next second half of the game.
The current situation of the Thunder is of course much worse than that of the Cleveland Cavaliers, so at this time, at halftime, the Cleveland Cavaliers do not have much pressure on them.
Because for them, a 13-point lead is enough for them to win the game tonight.
After all, although there were some small thrills in the first half of the game, but overall, they completely dominated the game in the first half.
The Oklahoma City Thunder have largely failed to overtake them. It was almost always the Cleveland Cavaliers who had the upper hand in the game until the end of the first half of the game.
So at this point, the pressure on them is much easier than the Oklahoma City Thunder. Even if there is still a second half to continue, the Cleveland Cavaliers are not afraid to play at home.
They believe they can continue their first-half run in the second half and make it their 27th game of the season in one fell swoop after this one tonight's game!
They want to break their record for the longest winning streak of the season, which is their goal and the biggest motivation for this tonight's game!
They believe they can win the game by relying on it. For the next half of the game, the Cleveland Cavaliers have enough confidence.
At this time, not only did the Cleveland Cavaliers have enough confidence, but the situation of the game was also very friendly for them at this time.
The fifteen-minute break ended quickly, and amid the screams of the Cleveland fans in the Quick Loan Center, the players of both teams quickly returned to the basketball court in such a situation.
It's time for everyone to get back to the second half, whether it's the Cleveland Cavaliers, who took the lead in the first half, or the Oklahoma City Thunder, who are currently on the underdog side on the road.
At this point, they all have to refocus on the basketball court. Because in the next game. The two sides are going to continue their real battle.
If one side can't hold on to the opponent's attack in the next game, then the hope of victory in this game will gradually move away from them.
At this time, whether it is the Cleveland Cavaliers or the Oklahoma City Thunder, they dare not take it lightly. After all, the opponents are all good teams. They all have the strength to end this game very quickly.
So at this time, no matter which side you are, you have to be careful and cautious about the next game. In particular, David Wu and his Cleveland Cavaliers are a big problem for the Oklahoma City Thunder.
After all, they now have a 13-point lead, and if they are given a chance in the second half. No matter how good the Oklahoma City Thunder are, they can only accept the defeat in the next games!
This is certainly not an outcome they are willing to get. So at this point, the Oklahoma City Thunder need to play well enough at the beginning of the second half.
Otherwise, what awaits them may be a very cruel outcome.
The game restarted off the batter, with the Cleveland Cavaliers taking the lead on offense, which wasn't good news for the Oklahomanians.
However, they still tried their best to defend at this time, especially Russell. Westbrook, in Carey. During the period that Irving dribbled the ball across the half, he was constantly trying to see if he could steal Kyrie. The ball in Owen's hand!
It's also to make Carey. Owen let out a cold sweat because he didn't expect that just at the beginning of the second half of the game, Russell. Westbrook showed such aggressiveness!
This is Carey. Owen didn't think of anything at halftime, so after he dribbled the ball past half court at this time, he quickly handed the ball into Wu Dawei's hands.
Wu Dawei also mentioned the high position to ask for the ball at this time, after all, this is the first offense of the second half of the game, which is very important for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
So of course he has to be cautious at this time, because although the Cleveland Cavaliers have a 13-point advantage at this time, they still can't completely stop the threat from the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Only by continuing to throw the ball into the basket and extend their current lead will the Cleveland Cavaliers be able to face the next game with relative peace of mind.
This is an undoubted thing, so at this time, Wu Dawei is of course bent on continuing to expand the advantage of the score at this time.
After all, it's just the beginning of the second half of the game, and if you can directly help your team to continue to extend the lead at the beginning of the second half of the game, then it will undoubtedly make the Oklahoma City Thunder players feel desperate at this time.
Because the second half of the game has just begun. The Cleveland Cavaliers continued to extend their lead, and how could this not make the entire Oklahoma City Thunder feel hopeless.
After all, they are the underdogs who are behind, and if they don't get better in the second half of the game, it will undoubtedly make them feel more desperate and frustrated for the next second half of the game.
And at this time Kevin. Durant also understands this truth very well, and he knows that if Wu Dawei scores at this time, it will definitely be a very huge blow to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Continuing to expand the score will definitely make the momentum of the entire Oklahoma City Thunder team even more sluggish.
After all, their morale is already completely low at this time, and if they can't close the score gap in the next game, it will undoubtedly be even more disappointing for the Oklahoma City Thunder players.
Getting bigger and bigger will only demoralize them. Then you will directly lose the thirst and hope for victory in this game.
So at this time, when Wu Dawei got the ball, Kevin. Durant naturally pounced on him at the first time. He just wanted to stop Wu Dawei from scoring at this time, so his defense seemed airtight at this time.
Wu Dawei felt the pressure, although in the first half of the game, he scored 19 points on 7-of-11 shooting, and is the current scoring champion in this game.
But at this moment, he still didn't dare to relax, because at this moment, Kevin. The desire to win in Durant's eyes made Wu know that he had to be more careful.
Otherwise, maybe it awaited him and his Cleveland Cavaliers. It will be a careless punishment!
This is not the ending he wants, so at this time, Wu Dawei of course has to face the next attack seriously.
He didn't rush to start the pace of the attack, but waited for Kevin. Durant to see if he will be like Russell before. Westbrook like that. All at once, it pounced.
But apparently Kevin. Durant doesn't look like Russell. Westbrook is so aggressive, and although the two have a good relationship, their styles on the basketball court are very different.
Wu Dawei didn't encounter an oppressive defense at this time, but Kevin. Durant stood in front of Wu Dawei. But it is also inseparable.
He didn't lose any defensive position, and it was precisely because of this that Wu Dawei didn't dare to attack at will with the ball at this time.
Because he's afraid of Kevin. Durant will suddenly attack. And he also wants to find the best opportunity to attack at this time, after all, this is the first attack after the start of the second half, and Wu Dawei doesn't want to waste it on him at will.
So he didn't play directly individual singles, but let the inside double Gao Dwight. Howard & Andrew. Valaccio mentions the high position at this point.
Kevin. Even if Durant is very well prepared at this time, he can't defend himself in the face of the opponent's high-post double block.
So he needed the support of his teammates, and although his teammates also mentioned high positions at this time, Wu Dawei still found a chance to attack.
With Dwight. Howard ran up to Kendrick. Perkins' slow movement speed is a weakness that allows Wu Dawei to attack at this time.
So when Wu Dawei grasped such a weakness, of course he would not let go of such an opportunity. He went straight to Dwight. Howard moved on the side, while Kevin. Durant was naturally blocked at this point, and he tried to get past Dwight. Howard's blocking and dismantling made him fall behind Wu Dawei all of a sudden.
And Kendrick. Perkins appeared in front of Wu Dawei at this time, but obviously Wu Dawei didn't take this big man seriously, and his slow movement couldn't keep up with Wu Dawei's pace at all.
Almost as soon as he accelerated, Wu Dawei broke through his line of defense, and the atmosphere in the entire quick loan center suddenly rose up!
Because Cleveland fans saw Wu Dawei rushing into the paint area with the ball, and at this time, because the Cleveland Cavaliers' two interior lines mentioned the reason for coming to the high position, the paint area was empty!
Wu Dawei rushed in with the ball without encountering any obstacles, so he jumped up directly!
A tomahawk-style buckle with a one-arm ball was born in such a situation!
The Oklahoma City Thunder team was completely unable to defend at this time, because Wu Dawei's breakthrough and the Cleveland Cavaliers' high-level blocking and demolition completely tore the Oklahoma City Thunder's defense, so that they could only watch helplessly watch Wu Dawei dunk the ball into the basket like this!
