149. The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind

The young Thunder caught the Cavaliers off guard in the third quarter. They were so energetic that they reversed the rhythm of the first half of the game at once. Just three minutes into the third quarter, they overtook the score!

The Cavaliers' struggling advantage in the first half came in a fleeting second half that surprised everyone. Just like in the first half, no one expected the Cavaliers to be the leader on the court and Westbrook would go off injured.

The world is impermanent. But just like the passive situation the Thunder faced in the first half, the Cavaliers were in adversity for a moment, but they were far from desperate.

Head coach Byron Scott quickly called a timeout. The game has entered the third quarter, although this slight backwardness is not enough to be fatal, but if it is not curbed, it may become a minor illness!

After all, the game has entered the third quarter, and this is already the second half of the battle. As the time of the game slowly approaches, the margin for error in the game naturally decreases. Therefore, for the morale of the Thunder Youth Army, Byron Sterke did not dare to underestimate them.

So, be cautious. Scott still asked for a timeout. He called the players to his side and told them the words at the beginning, steady, defend first, and then wait for the opportunity to play a wonderful defensive counterattack!

That's always been the core of the Cavaliers' tactics. Naturally, the players are very familiar with it.

After the timeout, both sides returned to the court. The one-minute timeout gave the Cavaliers players who had been chased and beaten by the Thunder team a little breathless, a little respite, and when they returned to the court, the previous downfall was gone, but everyone still had a stern expression. Obviously, the score behind still makes them a little nervous.

On the other hand, the re-entered Thunder players, cheered by the fans at Ford Center, were on their toes as if they were going to win the game completely in the next game.

The Cavaliers, who were given a respite after the timeout, naturally did not give the young Oklahomians this chance to crush them in one fell swoop. Byron Scott's team has always been a balance between attack and defence, and he is also a coach who is good at teaching defensive counter-attacks. This was the case with both the Nets and the Hornets, and he has led both teams to great heights. However, right now, the Cavaliers can't match the level of these two teams because the team is currently lacking a talented or experienced point guard.

Maurice Williams, no matter where he is placed, can't bury his wild desire to attack. Fortunately, after the timeout, Williams found his shooting crosshairs, and he was able to hit mid-range jumpers in several high pick-and-rolls with Wu Dawei.

In fact, Williams is really good on the offensive end. He proved it to himself with the Bucks and last season. It's just that this season, suddenly losing the big tree of LeBron James, Williams is a little like a confused person who has lost his cool place for a while, and he doesn't know where to go. But as the season progresses, game after game with his teammates, Williams is gradually finding his form.

Just like now, the game restarted, but the process didn't go the way the Oklahoma man envisioned, and Williams made three consecutive jumpers on the offensive end, relying on Wu Dawei's blocking.

Although the Thunder are still attacking on the offensive end, the Cavaliers are not far behind them!

66:67, just a one-point lead, obviously, it's not safe.

Williams' three-shot back-to-back shot sealed the score for the Cavaliers, while on the Thunder's side, it was James Harden who stood out in the third quarter. The chubby defender was able to use his body to squeeze through Williams' much thinner body and then attack the interior. …,

And his soft touch ensures his hit rate after jumping.

This time, he wanted to do the same again. With Williams hitting back-to-back shots on the offensive end, Harden naturally had some ideas. Although Durant is the offensive core of the Thunder, Harden is also an indispensable player for the Thunder on the offensive end.

His super singles ability has established him in this team.

Harden held the ball in the high post, and it was Williams, who had scored six straight points to defend him. Kevin Durant was standing outside the 45-degree three-point line on his right, but Durant wasn't in a hurry to ask for the ball from Harden. So, Harden went straight on the offensive!

Williams scored six straight points after a timeout, and Harden also had a scoring streak in the third quarter. One of the characteristics of young people is that they shine brightly when they are given a little sunshine! Harden is at this time when confidence is high!

A body-swapping dribble, Harden's dribbling speed was very fast, and almost in the blink of an eye, he shook Williams behind him. He lunged inside with his head down, and Harden was so fast that Williams was left behind in the blink of an eye.

But Vallejo's reinforcement came in time and was in place, and the picture of him rushing towards Harden with open arms made the little guard, who is less than 2 meters tall, not dare to be too presumptuous in the paint area. He opted for passing.

In a hand-to-hand hand on the inside, the basketball was handed to Serge Ibaka. After winning the ball, Ibaka's legs flexed slightly, and then he jumped up. Seeing that he was about to make a wonderful two-handed basket on the inside line, Wu Dawei suddenly fanned his big palm and flew over from the flanks!

It was an overly timely supplement, and the Cavaliers also showed their wonderful rotation in this defense. When Wu Dawei rushed into the inside, Williams, who was thrown off by Harden, no longer rushed inside, but ran to defend Kevin Durant.

Flying in the air, Ibaka faced Wu Dawei's figure, and it was too late to dodge. So, he yelled, hoping to scare Wu Dawei's courage with a scream, and in the end, in exchange for a big hat with a split head and a face!

With a bang, Wu Dawei got his third block in the game, and at the same time, the ball was returned to the Cavaliers after the two people landed.

This is an opportunity! The chance to close the gap again.

So, the Cavaliers immediately launched a fast break. After Wu Dawei got the basketball he covered, he dribbled two steps forward, and saw Williams running in front of him asking for the ball, Wu Dawei threw the ball to the front court, and at the same time, he also ran forward wildly.

Bonnie Lovelin, who was sitting in the audience, was still shocked by Wu Dawei's previous block on Ibaka, and the situation on the court had changed.

Williams got the ball and went down quickly, he rushed into the box and then jumped up to pick up the basket. The moment the basketball was lifted from his hands to the basket, the Cavaliers bench players stood up and cheered for the upcoming comeback.

But in the next second, it was the turn of the 20,000 Oklahoma fans at the Ford Center to raise their arms and shout!

The mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, and Kevin Durant jumps up after Williams jumps, and then a chase hat nails the basketball to the rebound!

But just like this unexpected pegboard hat, the Oklahoma fans didn't have time to shout a few more times, just like the Cavaliers players who were about to cheer before, the shouting stopped abruptly!

The rebounding basketball had just flown over the head of Kevin Durant, who was still in the air after covering the hat, and then was held fiercely by a pair of big yellow hands!

"Get in!"

Then, the sudden outburst of rage resounded in the back of Kevin Durant's head, and the talented small forward knew that something was wrong!

Sure enough, less than a second after this shout sounded, Durant's back was followed by a collision with great force, making him completely lose his balance in the air, and at the same time, he fell down in a posture where his face hit the ground first and was powerless!

When Durant threw himself on the ground, the basketball was also smashed into the basket by Wu Dawei's momentum of splitting Huashan with force!

The incident happened so suddenly, and the fans at the scene all fell silent for a moment. Whether it was the fans, the players, or the coaches, everyone was stunned by the violent scene in front of them, and it took about a second for everyone to react.

Suddenly, the continuous lamentation resounded throughout the Ford Center! But in the corner of the stadium, there were earth-shattering cheers! The ecstatic look of the people on the Cavaliers' bench was so glaring in the eyes of the Oklahomanian at this time.

PS: I'm sorry, there is something in the factory in the morning, and it's too late to code words. So, that's all there is to do today, I'm really sorry~
