86:82, the difference is still as much as 4 points. siluke.com Although the Oklahoma City Thunder began to do their best, the Cavaliers are still firmly under the leadership of Wu Dawei, guarding their last position!
It's like the Thunder team has captured the bridgehead, but they don't take a step forward in front of the last base, which makes them feel extremely anxious.
Not only the Thunder players on the court, but also the Oklahoma City Thunder fans off the court, and even the head coach of the Thunder Brooks, are scratching their ears and cheeks about the current situation.
The Cavaliers held on to the final point difference, and for a moment the two sides were at a stalemate in the fourth quarter. For the Cleveland Cavaliers, who have played three consecutive road games before this game begins, they are certainly happy to see such a situation. While the four-point advantage is a bit small and insecure, at least they are the leading side, and the four points are not an attacking round to equalise, leaving them with a cushion.
The Thunder undoubtedly don't like this situation, although the point difference has been narrowed to a very small point difference compared to the beginning of the second half. But such a point difference is the biggest headache for the Thunder team at present, because they can't make up for the 4-point disadvantage no matter what.
The Cavaliers seem to be on the same page as they are, trying to maintain a four-point advantage.
Such a situation is undoubtedly very tormenting for the Oklahoma City Thunder. Because of such a score difference, it always gives them hope to catch up. And often, hope is something more terrible than despair!
Wu Dawei on the offensive end with Kyrie. After Irving completed the cooperation, he once again helped the Cavaliers maintain a four-point lead, and the two sides entered a relatively smooth stalemate for the next period of time.
Both sides made slight gains at both ends of the pitch and maintained a balance of power, while the four-point gap was still between the two sides. However, at this time, the Cavaliers are definitely not in a hurry, and the Thunder are the fourth quarter of the game. became more and more anxious.
At 92:88, the game entered the final five minutes of the fourth quarter. The Cavaliers still have a four-point lead over the Thunder. But at this time the Thunder have the ball, Russell. Westbrook won the ball and quickly advanced into the half, knowing that he wanted to close the gap or even overtake it. The next shot had to be scored before they had a chance to go back to the defensive end to block the next shot from the Cavaliers in order to close the gap.
It's easier said than done.
Westbrook wanted to give the ball directly to Kevin, who was standing at the top of the three-point arc. Durant, but Wu Dawei, who is responsible for defending Durant, follows him inch by inch, and Wu Dawei has contributed 4 blocks and 3 steals for the Cavaliers on the defensive end tonight, and even nearly half of them are in Kevin. Durant's body brushed out the number of jù.
Although Kevin. Durant has also contributed 32 points so far, but Westbrook decided to go it alone!
Facing Anthony. Parker's defense, Westbrook easily shook the opponent into a daze, and then he went inside. Westbrook, who didn't encounter obstacles along the way, jumped up as he rushed into the paint area. Behind him, I suddenly remembered Kevin. Durant roared loudly: "Be careful! ”
Westbrook stretched out his hand and prepared to finish the attack with a single pick. Because Chris pounced on himself. Kaman, so that Westbrook did not dare to rush to end the offense with a dunk at such a critical time.
He was focusing all his energy on the ball and was unprepared for the sudden shouting. He couldn't figure out why Kevin. Durant would call it that, and he didn't know it was until the moment he threw the ball to the basket.
The moment the ball flew from Westbrook's palm to the basket, Westbrook felt bad. Because suddenly there was a cloud over his head!
Immediately after, a large hand suddenly appeared on top of Westbrook's head. He fixed his eyes, and the yellow complexion made him immediately think of a person, but Westbrook didn't have time to make any remedies at this time, so he could only watch Wu Dawei use his powerful palm to viciously nail the ball to the rebound when he was about to land!
Then, the ball bounced off and had nothing to do with the score......
The Cavaliers got the ball, and the two sides dared to have any slackness at this time. The crowd on the court was like a wave rushing towards the Oklahoma City Thunder's half!
When Wu Dawei ran through the half court after the hat, the Cavaliers did not complete the offense. In fact, the Thunder's retreat was so fast that the Cavaliers missed the opportunity to break quickly without the slightest hesitation. Billups will only control the tempo and wait for Wu Dawei to pass the half.
Now Wu Dawei is the No. 1 core of the Cavaliers, not the No. 1 core on the defensive end like last season, and only one of the many cores on the offensive end.
Wu Dawei has now scored a high score of 36 points, which is the most scored player on both sides in the game tonight. Billups naturally couldn't help but take advantage of such a teammate who was a great threat to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Wu Dawei did not stop after half time, but ran towards the inside line non-stop. At the same time, Vallejo also ran up from the baseline, first made a block for Wu Dawei, and then he was able to rush to the bottom line. Vallejo slightly delayed Durant's direct steps, widening the distance between the two men; Wu Dawei did not stop after coming to the bottom line, and slipped directly into the paint area, with the help of another block and demolition by Kaman, Wu Dawei appeared on the other side of the bottom line. And this time, Kevin. Durant has been blocked by Carman, and at the same time, Billups also passed the ball to Wu Dawei.
Perkins hurriedly came up to make up for the defense, but Wu Dawei had no feeling for this slow-moving meat shield. When I got the ball, I jumped straight up!
Of course, Oklahoma City Thunder fans don't want the Cavaliers to continue to widen the point difference at this time, but Wu Dawei, who scored 36 points tonight, obviously hasn't reached the end of his hot hand yet!
With a bang, Wu Dawei scored the thirty-eighth point tonight!
At 94:88, with less than five minutes left in the game, the Cavaliers pulled away again. Now the gap between the two sides has become 6 points!
The Thunder's situation looked increasingly urgent, but the Thunder did not ask for a timeout. After Westbrook possessed the ball past halftime, Kevin Brown. Durant received the ball from beyond the three-point line. Then he jumped straight up just a step away from the three-point line.
Wu Dawei stood inside the three-point line. Although he noticed Kevin. Durant's intentions, but when he pounced, Kevin. Durant had already thrown the ball to the basket.
With a bang, the ball went into the net!
94:91。 In an instant, the situation changed a little abruptly!
Oklahoma City Thunder fans couldn't help but cheer for this, although Wu Dawei's appearance in this game made people feel trembling, but the Thunder fans were also rejoicing, fortunately they also had Kevin. Durant.
Durant also scored a high score of 30 points for the team at this time!
The situation seemed to be at a stalemate again, but back on the offensive end, the Cavaliers weren't knocked down by the Thunder's three-pointer. They remained unmoved, still maintaining their rhythm of the game.
After Wu Dawei made a block for Billups in the high post, Billups cut inside to attract the defense and distributed the ball to Chris. Kaman. Carman scored on the inside, 96-91. Once again, the margin was stretched apart by the Cavaliers.
Then there was the Thunder's offense. Westbrook handed the ball to Kevin after half-time. Durant, although Wei Shao is also the core of the Thunder, but Durant is obviously the first core.
Durant once again received the ball from beyond the three-point line, but this time he didn't shoot a three-pointer as he did last time, as he did last time. He confronted Wu Dawei outside the three-point line. It made Wu Dawei a lot easier.
Durant dribbled the ball a few times on the spot, trying to shake it through guò to get rid of Wu's defense. However, this proved to be useless in the end, because Wu Dawei was not only not fooled, but repeatedly almost broke the ball in Durant's hand!
In desperation. Durant had to call in a teammate to block and then make a jumper through Guò, but the ball didn't go into the basket. He had the same good touch tonight, but he couldn't hit 100 percent.
The rebound was picked up by the Cavaliers, which would be an opportunity for the Cavaliers to win tonight's game. After all, time is running out for the fourth quarter, and if the Cavaliers can score a goal in the next offense, then they will at least have a seven-point lead over the Oklahoma City Thunder playing at home with the remaining three minutes of the fourth quarter!
Seven points in the last three minutes, although not an extremely safe score, but at least it is difficult to surpass for a while. And such a lead can also give the Cleveland Cavaliers a great margin for error in the final three minutes.
All eyes were on the Thunder's halfcourt, and the Cavaliers had been in possession of the ball through the half. Chauncey. Billups held the ball in the high post, and the atmosphere on the scene froze a little for a while.
Wu Dawei is not in a high position, he ran to the bottom line with a smoke, and Kevin. Durant also followed Wu Dawei at this time. Wu Dawei, who scored 38 points tonight, will obviously be the biggest threat to the Thunder in this offense.
But Kevin. Durant wasn't originally a tough defensive player, after all, there was Sergi on the team. An excellent defensive player like Serge Ibaka will naturally make Kevin. Durant doesn't work as the defensive end as he does on the offensive end. In training, he certainly doesn't focus too much on the defensive end.
At this time, Kevin. Although Durant tried his best to follow Wu Dawei's side, when Vallejo and Carman blocked Wu Dawei one after another on the bottom line, Kevin . The gap between Durant and Wu Dawei was also opened in an instant.
But Kevin. Durant still gritted his teeth and pushed away Vallejo and Kaman, and chased after Wu Dawei. With the help of these two blocks, Wu Dawei has run out of the baseline in a puff of smoke, and when he came to the three-point line, Billups also passed the ball to Wu Dawei.
Wu Dawei jumped up without hesitation after receiving the ball!
Outside the three-point line, he's just like Kevin before him. Durant jumped up regardless of that. In the eyes of most people, this is a reckless move, an unreasonable choice in the eyes of Mr. Zhang. But just like this summer David Wu in Reggie. What Miller learned from him is that a shooter, you have to follow the feeling of his shooting, and as long as the feeling comes, just shoot!
Only if you dare to throw can you throw those amazing balls. As long as you score a crucial ball, people will forget about the balls you missed before, and a player who dares to shoot will be remembered; And those who cringe can only make people remember when they didn't shoot.
Kevin. Durant didn't have time to defend at this time, although he tried his best to keep up with Wu Dawei, but the distance between the two people made him unable to shoot this time!
The ball flew from Wu Dawei's palm to the basket, which touched the hearts of countless people in the Ford Center tonight, and everyone's eyes were firmly nailed to the trajectory of the ball's flight at this moment.
In the next second, the ball drilled into the basket! The prayers in the hearts of Oklahomians were shattered in this instant!
Three points, hit!
99:91!
The game has entered the final three minutes of countdown time, and at this moment, Wu Dawei threw a crucial three-pointer! This three-pointer could even change the game for the whole game, at least, it gives the Cleveland Cavaliers an eight-point lead at the moment!
This is no longer a score margin that can be easily overtaken. This is not only understood by the Cleveland people who are cheering hysterically at this time, but also by Brooks, the head coach of the Oklahoma City Thunder.
These eight points were like a big stone, and at this time the young marshal was overwhelmed.
The Thunder reluctantly asked for a timeout.
