The feud between the Cavaliers and the Thunder is well known in the league. But if you want to say that Wu Dawei and Kevin. Durant and Russell. The grievances between the two Westbrook brothers are more pertinent.
Wu Dawei's fame is not by stepping on these famous stars and young heroes to reach the top step by step.
Last season, the Oklahoma City Thunder lost twice to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Durant and Russell. Westbrook pressed down a few chips!
Now, since the start of this season, the Cavaliers have also played a game against the Thunder at Ford Center, the home of the Thunder in Oklahoma City, a few days ago, and Wu Dawei set a new career high in that game, and 45 points made Wu Dawei unbeatable for a while.
Since David Wu entered the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Oklahoma City Thunder have never received a favor from the Cleveland Cavaliers. Durant and Russell. Westbrook was repeatedly deflated in the hands of Wu Dawei.
Being blocked and stealing is commonplace, and even in the last meeting between the two sides, Kevin. Durant was also slammed to the ground by Wu Dawei, and he threw himself into the face.
From this, it is conceivable how "profound" the Oklahoma people's feelings for the Cleveland Cavaliers and Wu Dawei will be!
The game will be played on Jan. 19 at the Cavaliers' home court, if the two teams can't make it to the Finals together this season. Then this meeting will be the last meeting between the two sides this season.
Naturally, the Oklahoma City Thunder have a big idea for this game.
However, before the start of this game, the league finally announced the results of the first round of voting for the All-Star Game to be held in Orlando in February this year.
In the first stage of voting, Wu Dawei received 800,000 votes, ranking first in the whole league! This Chinese player from the Cleveland Cavaliers became the "ticket king" in the first phase!
And in the Eastern Conference, Wu Dawei is followed by Miami Heat star LeBron . James, who ranked first among Eastern Conference forwards with 690,000 votes; And the western side. Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant. Bryant was the player with the most votes in the West with 690,000 votes, followed by Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Brown. Durant's 630,000 votes are out.
The announcement of such news is definitely a very good thing for both Wu Dawei and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Wu Dawei became the "ticket king" for the first time in his career. Although it is not yet the end, it is also a very good honor to be able to become a stage of "ticket king"; For the Cleveland Cavaliers, the news that David Wu became the "vote king" of the first phase of the All-Star ballot is also a good way to divert people's attention from the fact that the Cavaliers were broken their undefeated golden body in the season.
However, there are still people who make a big fuss about this thing that was originally a good thing, and use this good thing as a spearhead to attack Wu Dawei and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Oklahoma City Thunder arrived in Cleveland on January 18, and it was clear that the Thunder took this match against the Cavaliers very seriously, and they rushed to the training ground for training after coming to Cleveland.
The Thunder players did not give any interviews during this time. Everyone was silent. It seems that they are all preparing for the game that will come tomorrow.
But the Thunder players don't speak, and some do. Oklahoma Journalist reporter Darnell. Marbury, before the start of this game, picked up the fact that Wu Dawei won the first stage of the vote to ridicule the Cavaliers:
"Just the day after the Cavaliers just lost to the Memphis Grizzlies. The league announced the voting results of the first phase of the 2012 All-Star Game, and Wu Dawei, a player of the Cavaliers, was elected the first stage vote king with a high vote. This made the Clevelands cheer, but apparently, the Clevelands had forgotten about it. In the last game, Mr. Ticket King, who was highly regarded by them, was helpless against the inner twin towers of the Memphis Grizzlies! Speaking of which, I think Mark. Gasol and Zach. Randolph deserves to be voted king......"
Darnell. Marbury suffered a lot last season for belittling Wu and the Cavaliers, but obviously, as a loyal Thunder fan and someone who hates the Cavaliers and Wu Dawei, he has not learned his lesson.
Maybe it's because the Cleveland Cavaliers recently broke their unbeaten streak by the Memphis, which also made the reporter from Oklahoma City feel comfortable, so he was a little proud.
In short, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, who have had a great impact since the beginning of the season, they have been pushed to the forefront since losing the game against the Memphis Grizzlies and breaking their unbeaten golden body!
At this time, they were only able to understand that they had been jealous and hated by many people under their recent limelight!
This kind of pressure came all of a sudden, but it made the Cleveland Cavaliers players who had been living in praise a little uncomfortable, especially the young rookies on the team.
After losing to the Memphis Grizzlies, the next battle with the Oklahoma City Thunder is also being watched by many people. Although the league did not schedule a national broadcast of this game, but put the Lakers vs. Celtics game in the same time period on the national broadcast, it still won't stop people from paying attention to this game.
The Thunder came with a vengeance, and on the night of January 19, the game kicked off with the attention of many people.
As soon as the Thunder came up, they attacked the inside of the Cavaliers, and Sergi, who usually didn't get too many shots. Serge Ibaka has some faint momentum to become the heart of the attack in this game. Obviously, the Oklahomians borrowed from the Memphis Grizzlies' advantage in the game against the Cavaliers. Ibaka is a talented person, but he is not a Mark after all. Gasol and Zach. Randolph, he doesn't have that great attack.
However, Ibaka still relied on some back-to-back jumpers to score more and more in this game, which also exceeded his average points per game this season.
However, the Cavaliers are not soft persimmons, and they can be kneaded by others at will. Although they were beaten by the Memphis in their last game, they are still the team with the highest record in the league.
The two sides began to fight in the game, and the Cavaliers were in good shape tonight, but the Thunder team was in three military positions, and the Cavaliers couldn't press the Thunder team under them like the last time the two sides met.
It's not just Sergi. Serge Ibaka has scored frequently on the inside and has been playing an unsatisfactory playmaking guard against the Cavaliers in previous games. Westbrook's table xiàn is also extremely good.
Several strong inside shots were completed, and at the same time, they also caused fouls by the Cavaliers. And this time, the Thunder learned smartly, and whenever Westbrook attacked with the ball, Kevin . Durant will always go to the weak side of the ball to ambush and bring Wu Dawei to the other end as much as possible to reduce Westbrook's concerns when he breaks through.
Thinking about it, Westbrook was also scared by Wu Dawei.
The two sides played particularly fiercely in this game, and the Thunder naturally hoped to win this game, and they didn't want to be put on the hat of not winning if they touched Wu Dawei. Durant naturally didn't want to be pressed under Wu Dawei.
And the Cavaliers have suffered so much pressure from public opinion after losing a game, and they are especially eager for this game.
The game, which was taken very seriously by both sides, ended up in extra time. In overtime, the Cavaliers eventually lost the game and ushered in their first consecutive loss of the new season!
This is definitely a big blow to the Cavaliers! At least for Cleveland fans, that's true. Prior to this, the Cavaliers' 10-game winning streak made Cleveland fans feel like they were living in a fairy tale, which made them feel particularly wonderful.
But in the blink of an eye, it suddenly ushered in two consecutive defeats...... Such a contrast is naturally a little unacceptable.
However, what is even more unacceptable is obviously not the reality of two consecutive defeats, but the public opinion that is coming towards Cleveland like a huge wave after two consecutive defeats!
Almost suddenly, the Cleveland Cavaliers went from being the treasure of everyone's hands when they were in the limelight to the object of ridicule from countless people. Although the Cavaliers are still at the top of the league with a 10-2 record, people now believe that the Cavaliers will not stay in such a position for long!
Because they are about to face their next opponent after the game against the Thunder, the Miami Heat from Florida! LeBron. James' team is also currently with a 10-2 record, right behind the Cavaliers!
In the eyes of many people, this is called a house leak that happened to rain overnight, and the Cavaliers are currently in a situation of two consecutive defeats, which is to usher in a team with four consecutive wins!
After a fantastic start, the Cleveland is on the verge of a devilish schedule!
