Byron. Scott's substitution was targeted, of course, to contain James. Harden teamed up with Westbrook to lead the Thunder to a fast-paced offense that brought down the Cavaliers.
Therefore, Wu Dawei's task on the court is very simple, naturally when the opponent tries to open the rhythm of the attack, give the Thunder team a fierce fatal blow!
After Wu Dawei returned to the court in the second quarter, it happened to be the Thunder's offense. Westbrook and Harden form a dual point guard lineup, making them extremely firepower on the outside, and naturally, the two of them will be the focus of the Cleveland Cavaliers' next marking.
After the two sides made personnel adjustments, the Oklahoma City Thunder had the ball. They quickly took advantage of the two-point guards, with Harden and Westbrook taking turns attacking the interior and tearing apart the Cavaliers' defense.
Numerous breakaway shots eventually helped the Thunder score two points, but it wasn't enough to alleviate the Thunder's current predicament.
At 32:24, the margin is still as high as 8 points, and the next step for the Oklahoma City Thunder is the Cavaliers' offense.
Carey. Irving's previous scoring in a row was enough to make the Thunder players feel a headache, not to mention the current Byron. Scott also replaced Wu Dawei, who had been a big player in the first quarter, on the court.
Westbrook could be in charge of guarding Kerry. Irving, and Westbrook is also very confident in whether he can defend against the latter; But the remaining question is who will defend Wu Dawei, and who in the Thunder team can confidently defend Wu Dawei?
This becomes a problem. When the Cavaliers passed halftime, Wu Dawei came on the court, allowing Kyrie, who was originally the first point of attack. Owen immediately took a back seat. Carey. Owen won the ball and quickly passed it to Wu Dawei.
Facing Collins, a veteran of the Thunder team, Wu Dawei took a big step forward after scoring the ball and then jumped up to shoot, and then scored his 16th point of the game. Although Collins's height and weight are not at a loss in front of Wu Dawei, he is more likely to appear in the fourth or fifth position, and in the face of Wu Dawei in the third position, he always struggles in terms of speed.
For Wu Dawei's defense, he naturally didn't dare to go too far ahead, but this made Wu Dawei easily hit the mid-range shot. This is already Wu Dawei's I don't know how many points he has scored in projection. Anyway, Brooks, the head coach of the Thunder, was very annoyed when he saw this scene.
"Defend it! Defend it! Don't give him a free space! ”
Brooks' angry voice resounded throughout the court, but this time it was the Thunder attacking. James. Harden burst into the front court with the ball quickly, completed a one-two with Westbrook, and then scored the ball.
34:26。 The margin is still eight points. The Thunder's two-point guards are still extraordinary, at least for a while, they have stabilized the point difference and did not continue to expand.
And in the next round of defense, the ball was again lost to Kyrie. Owen was handed over to Wu Dawei. Collins didn't dare to be too far away from Wu Dawei this time, and the head coach's angry roar had already reminded him.
So even if his footsteps couldn't keep up with Wu Dawei, Collins had to bite the bullet. Of course, Wu Dawei also knew that this was an unequal counterpoint, and the previous fight with Collins also made Wu Dawei know in his heart that the opponent's speed was not only inferior to his own, but even a little slow.
Wu Dawei directly called his teammates to make a block for himself. It is to swing the ball directly to the side. Then it's a diagonal stab and rush to the inside! Although Collins tried his best to try to keep up with Wu Dawei's pace, due to his own speed, he could only look at Wu Dawei's back in the end.
Wu Dawei rushed into the inside line and faced the young youngster Byron. Mullens, he dangled a shot. It was to make Mulens, who was eager to make contributions, jump, and then played a time difference and scored two more points on the inside!
36:26。
Seeing that the team has been unable to recover the score for a long time, it is not only the Oklahoma fans in the Ford Center who are anxious. Brooks, the head coach on the sidelines, also felt a little tricky. He knew that he could no longer let this go, and although there seemed to be no candidate in the team who could prevent Wu Dawei from killing, he had a bargaining chip to compete with Wu Dawei.
Kevin. Durant was then sent back to the court by Brooks, which is also the best way for Brooks to fight against Wu Dawei, relying on Kevin . Durant's extremely strong firepower on the offensive end restrained Wu Dawei's energy.
Kevin. Durant was on the court as soon as he got back on the court. He relied on the successive blocks of two teammates outside the three-point line, found a gap to shoot, and did not hesitate to raise his hand and shoot!
At 36:29, this goal really relieved Oklahoma fans. However, it didn't put too much pressure on the Cavaliers, because Wu Dawei then assisted Kyrie on the offensive end. Owen scored on the score.
At 38:29, the Cavaliers still controlled the advantage on the court.
But then Kevin. Durant scored again. In the face of Wu Dawei's defense, Kevin. Durant has learned not to be rash, once again relying on the jump shot after the pick-and-roll, Kevin . Durant scored two more points on the offensive end.
38:31。 Although Wu Dawei's anticipation ability has always allowed him to keep up with Kevin in any situation. Durant's movements, insight into his every intention. But Kevin. Durant also has his own strengths, which are height and arm length.
As a No. 3 player, Kevin. Durant is much taller than Wu Dawei in height, which makes Wu Dawei difficult to block his shooting. Durant's ultra-long arm span makes it a lot more difficult for Wu Dawei to block him!
So in being Kevin. After Durant scored two goals in a row, Wu Dawei also set his sights on other directions, and naturally he couldn't just look for blocks. That's really morale-boosting, but it's also a bit more difficult.
The Cavaliers' next offense missed, giving the Thunder a chance. Kevin Lee, who had previously scored in a row. Durant got the ball again and faced Wu Dawei's defense. Previously, he hit consecutive shots and gave Kevin . Durant has greatly increased his self-confidence!
This time, he's still going to do the same, ready to rely on a pick-and-roll and then score on a jumper.
And Wu Dawei also understands Kevin. Durant has such an idea, and this time he is not ready to block the other party. When Wu Dawei saw the figure of Collins running towards him out of the corner of his eye, Wu Dawei found Kevin in front of him. Durant is also starting to get moving.
He began to move in the direction Collins was running from, and at this time, Wu Dawei suddenly grabbed it! Durant was just about to do a body exchange hand dribble, and then get rid of Wu Dawei with the help of a pick-and-roll.
But he never thought that at the moment when he made a move, Wu Dawei jumped up like a cheetah! Then he slapped the ball out of his hand, and then the situation got out of control!
Wu Dawei grabbed Kevin. Durant's weakness, the fact that he is tall and big is indeed what makes Wu Dawei in blocking Kevin. Durant felt extremely tricky; But at the same time, Wu Dawei also knows that being tall and big also means Kevin. Durant has an extremely high center of gravity when dribbling, which gives Wu Dawei a chance to steal.
When Wu Dawei completed the attack on Kevin at the top of the three-point arc. By the time Durant made a steal and then rushed to the frontcourt, there was no one left to stop him from pushing forward.
Rushing through the half, in the disappointed eyes of the Oklahomanias, Wu Dawei jumped in the air, and then a powerful slam resounded throughout the audience! This is the 20th point he scored in the game!
The second quarter of the game has only just begun, less than half of the time, Wu Dawei has scored 20 points with his performance at the beginning and the current table!
His performance is the best!
At 40:31, the margin was pulled back to as much as nine.
It seemed to be an insurmountable chasm for the Oklahoma City Thunder tonight, and the tone of the game was always controlled by the Cleveland Cavaliers on the road.
Such a scene will inevitably make some of the Oklahoma City Thunder and Kevin City before the start of this game. The man on whom Durant had high hopes was a big disappointment. Wu Dawei only played a quarter and a half, and he actually scored 20 points!?
What kind of rhythm is this?
Anxiety is written on the face of every Oklahoma football fan, who certainly doesn't want to be a footnote to the Cleveland Cavaliers' nine-game winning streak, but they all feel helpless in the face of the current situation on the court.
No one in their formation was able to limit Wu Dawei's play, which is the key to the problem now. Even their most trusted Kevin. Durant, too, can't do that. But Kevin. Durant's appearance in the face of Wu Dawei after coming on the court still left some hope for Oklahoma City Thunder fans.
After all, Kevin. Durant had previously scored five points in a row on Wu Dawei's head, and he has now scored 12 points tonight.
Although the game was just halfway through the second quarter, the Cavaliers firmly controlled the situation on the court; But after all, this game didn't even finish the first half, and the Cleveland Cavaliers didn't lead by 20 or 30 points, so it can be said that it is still full of variables.
After all, the basketball game is not until the last minute, and no one can guess what will happen in the end, and maybe the Thunder will explode in the second half and stage a comeback of the Jedi counterattack.
However, looking at Wu Dawei, who was alive and well on the court at this time, whether such a drama could be staged in the end, the hearts of Oklahoma City Thunder fans were uncertain.
