142. Unstoppable
Wu scored four straight points in the opening game and also gave Kevin Durant a steal on the defensive end, and the game seemed to be on the rhythm of the Cleveland Cavaliers from the beginning.
That's not a good sign, at least for Oklahoma fans at the Ford Center. In every home game they witness here, the Thunder always get off to a good start with the cheers.
Wu's mid-range shooting once again quieted the Ford Center, and the excitement from Westbrook's breakthrough just now vanished. As the game continued, it was still Westbrook who had possession of the ball through the half.
While Westbrook is nominally a playmaker, he is more likely to be referred to as a two-way defender. In the offensive field, his individual shows are often quick breakthroughs, rather than brilliant assists.
Perhaps it was the last goal that made him feel that Anthony Parker's defense was too much, but this time, after Westbrook was halftime, he once again held the ball and singled, and he didn't choose to pass the ball, but went in a dragon to get in, and then faced the basket to score two points again.
Once again, the score was tied by Westbrook, who didn't even look for a match and showed his unrivalled individual ability. Scored points for the Thunder again, leveling the score and re-enlivening the atmosphere in the arena.
Basketball is like that, it's always going to be a lot more bang or a blow than a football game, so most of the goals on the court will look mediocre, unlike in football, where a single goal is enough to make the fans who come to the stadium feel worth the ticket and let out heart-rending cheers for it.
But basketball has more ways to score than football, and that's why it can create an atmosphere on the court, such as flying dunks, dunks, or explosive aerial relays, which can make fans excited from the bottom of their hearts. But what's even more exciting is the kind of competition that turns the tide on your own!
The unstoppable momentum of a star scoring on the pitch is the tune of the individual heroism that Americans love. It's like Russell Westbrook at this moment.
After the score was levelized, the Cavaliers attacked again, and they still did not miss on the offensive end of the game. Anthony Parker and Antoine Jamison completed a delicate pick-and-roll that resulted in two points from Jamison under the basket. The Cavaliers are leading again.
6:4。
However, just like their score, the score was once again tied when the Cavaliers returned to halftime. Russell Westbrook once again used his skillful and sharp breakthrough to make a sudden pull-up jump shot near the free throw line, and Anthony Parker did not react at all, and could only watch as the opponent shot the basketball into the basket in the air.
Tied the score again, Russell Westbrook scored six straight points in the opening period, and those six points were all the Thunder's points scored so far. While the Thunder are still not the dominant side on the court, and if it weren't for Westbrook's continuous achievements on the offensive end, they might not have been able to hold the ball in a tie situation right now, but that didn't stop the Ford Center from erupting in cheers.
Of course, it wasn't all for the Thunder, most of the applause and cheers were dedicated to Russell Westbrook, who had just scored and was running back to the half court while celebrating the fans.
"Hey, Kevin, you know, before I came to this city, I always thought you were the leader of this team." Wu Dawei ran to the front court and whispered in Kevin Durant's ear: "But now it seems that this is not the case." ”…,
"Humph!"
Durant ignored Wu Dawei, obviously knowing that this girl was sowing discord, he only felt that this Chinese's trick was too low-level, so low-level that he believed that he was only 5 years old would not believe it.
However, Durant didn't take care of himself, and it didn't prevent Wu Dawei from talking to himself. He continued: "It seems that you have acquiesced in such a situation? Russell Westbrook is your boss, and you're just his horse? ”
Durant still kept silent, Wu Dawei glanced at this guy, but he didn't expect that he had pimples like a stunned blue, but it was also very deep in the city.
So Wu Dawei didn't talk about it anymore, because it was the Cavaliers attacking at this time, he didn't dare to be careless, Westbrook's performance on the offensive end was too good, who knows if he would hit a goal again in the next offense.
The Cavaliers players also played more cautiously, with Williams scoring his first two points of the game. Relying on Jamison's pick-and-roll, Williams burst to the basket and then dodged Serge Ibaka's slap to help the Cavaliers take the lead again.
8:6。
Russell Westbrook turned the game around once again just past half-time. He's scored eight straight points and the Cavaliers' just gained advantage is in the blink of an eye. The cheers at the Ford Center grew louder and louder.
Although Oklahoma City fans have not seen the team's main player Kevin Durant blow up the Cavaliers' Wu Dawei picture until now, beating the new rising player who has led the team to victory over Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James in succession, and even has a faint feeling of being at a disadvantage. But fortunately they still have Russell, Westbrook is on the fire, and scoring 8 points in a row makes him look unstoppable!
Yes, no one can stop you!
"Wow ~ Russell, you're the best! Come on! ”
The Oklahoma fans cheered for Westbrook because they pinned the burden of tonight's victory on the playmaker, at least for now.
And Russell Westbrook gave them back with one great scoring show after another, as well as a steal from the backcourt!
It was an unexpected situation, when Wu Dawei served to Williams on the baseline, Maurice Williams got the ball, he turned and rushed to the frontcourt, and at this time, suddenly, Russell Westbrook rushed out next to Williams!
An extremely unexpected push on the defense, Williams was in disarray in an instant. Wu Dawei wanted to come forward to block for him, but he soon realized that it was too late, and the Ford Center was already cheering, and Russell Westbrook made a successful steal near the halfway line in the backcourt!
So, Wu Dawei hurriedly retreated, he stood at the top of the arc of the paint area, and did not take a step forward. Obviously, he still has some taboos about Westbrook's breakthrough.
Almost instantly, the Ford Center pushed the boiling cheers to the top! Bonnie Lovelin, who sat among the Oklahoma fans, almost felt like her eardrums were going to burst, just as she had felt before, the fans here were too enthusiastic.
Almost everyone stood up at this moment, what would happen if the backcourt completed the steal, and it would take almost no thinking to get the answer, and there would definitely be an extremely exciting result! So, in order to see this scene, Bonnie Lovelin couldn't help but get up from his chair.
The first image that caught her eye was Russell Westbrook's running back, and then she saw the only defender in the Cavaliers' half, her signed player, David Wu.
This is an extremely dangerous situation. At least for Lovelin, who has watched a lot of Westbrook games, she knows what kind of player Westbrook is. If you can dunk but never make a layup, if you can get a layup, you will never shoot, and if you can shoot, you will never pass! …,
A player who is unusually wild on the defensive end through and through.
When such a player completes the interception in the backcourt and faces only one defender on the opposition's inside, he hardly has to think about his choice.
Therefore, Ralphlin was worried, because she was worried that Wu Dawei would not be able to stop Russell Westbrook at this time, like a beast running wildly.
Westbrook slammed his head towards the Cavaliers' interior, completely ignoring the space that Wu deliberately left him with a mid-range shot, just like Lovelin thought, he wouldn't give up a chance to dunk, especially ...... So maybe this is an opportunity to cut people off!
Looking at Westbrook, who was getting closer and closer, Wu Dawei understood this girl's thoughts, but Wu Dawei was not afraid. Since there is a way in heaven that you don't take, and there is no door to hell, you come to it. Then don't blame me for destroying flowers! Wait a minute...... Where does this girl look like a flower? It's like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle......
Then don't blame Lao Tzu for smashing you with a hammer!
The moment Westbrook stepped into the paint zone, he jumped! He raised his right arm in front of Wu Dawei, and the basketball was like a dangerous bomb in his right hand! Facing Wu Dawei, who was taller than himself, Westbrook roared angrily in the air, and he hoped that Wu Dawei would dodge away with interest.
But apparently, this was just wishful thinking, and he saw an equally angry and hideous face in the air!
Although Wu Dawei is not as bounced as Westbrook, his height makes up for such a deficiency at this time. Wu Dawei also jumped, and he was more prepared than Westbrook.
Wu Dawei stretched out his arms high, like a net in a volleyball game, and intercepted Westbrook's basketball in the air.
At this moment, when Wu Dawei's two arms were firmly welded in front of the basketball and stopped the momentum of Westbrook's forward rush, the sound of cheering was like a player that had been turned off, and for a while, it was still!
People stared at the court with wide eyes, at the air just one step away from the basket, and the next second, what appeared in their eyes was the figure of Russell Westbrook falling to the ground!
The organizational guard who had scored 8 points in a row before, like an unstoppable scoring momentum like God, stopped his crazy pace at this time, and the basketball was pressed down from the air by Wu Dawei!
