At the beginning of the second quarter, both sides invariably fielded their own bench players. The Cavaliers' bench lineup has gradually taken shape with the reinforcement of these trades and continuous adjustments, and can always play well.
The Oklahoma City Thunder, the youth army in the West, also has their good strength on the bench. Harden came on the court too early, and their bench didn't have the impact on the basket as usual.
Forced rotation never makes for a good situation, and the same is true for tonight's Oklahoma City Thunder. Harden was replaced by head coach Brooks at the end of the first quarter, and Swiss Seforosa, who was replaced by him in the first quarter, came on in the second quarter to lead the team's second echelon to continue to fight on the court.
Of course, now trailing by 10 points is also destined to several core players of the Thunder team will not have much time to rest. Durant was back on the bench with only one minute to go in the second quarter.
And Wu Dawei is still being replaced by head coach Byron. Scott slumped down on the bench and sipped his sports drink leisurely. The huge contrast between the two makes Kevin. Durant seems to have done his own thing.
Although Kevin. Durant's appearance in this time period gave the Oklahoma City Thunder no worries on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, the Oklahoma City Thunder also did not solve the Cavaliers' offense well.
by Antoine. Jamison, Rasu. Butler, Ramon. The bench lineup composed of Sessions and J.J. Sixson also has good strength. Although the veteran Rasu. Butler on the opposite Kevin. When it comes to Durant, it is quite difficult to deal with. Can Antoine. Jamison's omnipotence on the offensive end is still a way for the Cavaliers to rely on on the offensive end.
But despite this, the head coach of the Cavaliers, Byron . Scott still didn't dare to be too careless, no matter what the opponent's state was tonight, they were always a strong team in the West Division. Durant and Russell. Westbrook's bold words did make Byron, as the head coach of the Cavaliers. Scott didn't sound very comfortable, but now he was in the game. Scott naturally understands very well that you can't lose big because of small.
So in Kevin. Durant played for a minute and within that minute, after a series of offensive scores, Byron Brown. Scott beckoned to his bench and called Wu to his side.
The meaning is obvious, and naturally I hope that Wu Dawei will play to restrict Kevin. Durant's score stabilized the pace of the game. Although Kevin. Durant scored four points in that minute. But he still couldn't close the difference of ten points all at once.
When Wu Dawei relied on a dead ball to re-enter the game, the score was only 26:35, and the Cleveland Cavaliers were still nine points ahead of the Thunder!
After Wu Dawei came on the court, he naturally needed Kevin. Durant, but now the ball is in the hands of the Cleveland team, Ramon Murphy. Sessions dribbled past half court, and then he handed the ball directly to Wu Dawei, who was standing at the top of the high arc. Wu Dawei faces Kevin. Durant.
Antoine. Jamison took the initiative to step forward to make a block for Wu Dawei, and then Wu Dawei moved with the ball next to him, Wu Dawei made a gesture to force the inside, so that the Thunder players who were originally responsible for defending Jamison had to go up to stop Wu Dawei's advancement, in order to give Kevin. Durant has more time left for his defense.
At this time. made a block for Wu Dawei before, and Jamison ran in the opposite direction, Wu Dawei did not covet the ball. It was to pass the ball straight over. Jamison has a good basket from beyond the three-point line, plus he's hot tonight.
The basketball smacked into the basket and hit a three-pointer!
At 26:38, the Cavaliers' lead became 12 points in an instant.
This makes Kevin. Durant is very upset, but now is not the time for him to be frustrated. Durant knows he has to hold his guard on the offensive end. After the point guard dribbled past half court, Kevin Brown. Durant also stood at the top of the arc of the three-point line to face Wu Dawei's defense, he first tried a few shaking, and after finding that Wu Dawei was still indifferent, Kevin . Durant didn't get his way.
He beckoned to the inside and motioned for his teammates to come and make a pick-and-roll for himself. And then Kevin. Durant relied on the block to shake off Wu Dawei and then rushed to the inside. Wu Dawei didn't dare to go around the back when defending the pick-and-roll, but chose to squeeze over the blocker player. Durant doesn't feel like he did from outside the three-point line at the level he had in his rookie season.
In this way, Wu Dawei is behind Kevin, who is strong on the inside line. Durant is more than half a body away, but Wu Dawei will certainly not give up the chase, he tries his best to keep himself with Kevin. The gap between Durant narrowed and then when Kevin. When Durant was relentless and aired in the paint area, the basketball in his arms was in vain!
Durant felt this different feeling very lightly, he looked down, and found a yellow arm pressed on the ball in his arms, and almost instantly he understood what was about to happen. Durant raised his arm without hesitation, and then screamed, and the basketball was out of his control, but his attempt to win the sympathy of the referee ultimately failed.
The audience resounded with scorching cheers to cover up a qiē, Wu Dawei broke the ball, and then launched a fast attack. He ran forward with the ball, Seforosa was the only player for the Thunder to defend in place, and when Wu was about to rush inside the three-point line, Seforrosa was standing at the free throw line.
Wu Dawei did not force it, but chose to pass the ball to Ramon on the other side. Sessions. Sessions received the ball and continued to advance with the ball, which successfully drew Seforrosa's attention away from Wu Dawei, and then Sessions and Sephorosa were glued together almost in the next second.
Seforosa's defense, of course, was to stop the guy who was closer to the basket, Clamon. Sessions didn't even think about scoring on this quick rundown, as he threw the ball into the air just as he was about to burst into the paint.
Then in the unguarded airspace of the Oklahomanians, Wu Dawei's flying figure was unstoppable!
A powerful air catch dunk, and the sound of the basket metal frame being shaken detonated the feelings of the fans in the audience!
26:40!
The difference was expanded to 14 points in an instant, and the Cavaliers had the absolute initiative and upper hand in this game! The bravado of the Oklahoma City Thunder players before the game became the coldest joke at this time! Lack of self-esteem was perhaps the only feeling they felt at this time amid the cheers of the 20,000 fans in the stadium.
Brooks had the same feeling he had when the two sides met for the first time this season, and the lack of help left the young coach a little anxious for a while.
In the face of the Cavaliers' rainbow-like momentum and the sound of a tsunami cheering in the arena, Brooks knew that he couldn't let the Clevelands play this game so unscrupulously, otherwise maybe they would really go crazy! And at that time, it will really be a lack of skills.
Brooks asked for a timeout, and at this point he had to ask for a timeout to give his team some respite. Then, the next question he needs to think about is how to deal with the Cleveland Man after the timeout has ended.
He is not unaware of his love under his hands Kevin. Durant and Russell. Westbrook, what he said in front of the cameras of the media, he didn't stop it because he didn't want his players to feel like they wanted to control them, but the situation is because Kevin. Durant and others got worse by their big mouths before the game.
"Hey, Kevin. Durant, you big fool, didn't you say you would win against our team?! What is the result now?! Ha, you're just a mouthless gauze! ”
"Yo, Kevin. Durant and Russell. Westbrook's two pigs are nothing more than two stupid people who can only talk big! Greatest is not so much that you can't find the north! ”
Although most of the people sitting behind the Thunder's bench are team officials or family members who have followed the team to Cleveland. However, they must know that they are now in a Cleveland quick loan center, and no matter how many team officials and players' families there are, they are only a small part of the vast sea of 20,000 Cleveland fans who came to the scene tonight.
In the face of the boos and mockery of the fans in the audience, the current Thunder team generals can only endure silently. After all, this is the home of the Cleveland Cavaliers, not to mention that they still have a huge lead on the court.
Before the Oklahoma City Thunder could not close the margin on the court, they could only swallow their anger like this, knock out their front teeth and swallow it in their stomachs.
The Thunder players who are now sitting on the bench, especially Kevin. Durant and Russell. Westbrook didn't have a smile on their faces, and their dejected appearance looked more like they were paying for their pre-game rhetoric.
Who told them to be so open-mouthed before that? The news came so quickly that the quick loan center completely turned into a sea of cheers.
