Although the Oklahoma City Thunder hopes to get a good start in the second half, they did do their best to try to defend the Cleveland Cavaliers' first attack in the second half.
However, it is obvious that although their full-game pressing strategy gave them some advantages at the beginning, when the Cleveland Cavaliers came to their senses, their advantage was gone, and they even made them in a hurry until they finally became dirty under Wu Dawei's dunk!
All of this made the Oklahoma City Thunder fall into a more passive situation immediately after the second half of the game began.
When Wu Dawei kicked off the second half with a dunk, the Cleveland Cavaliers also took advantage of the situation to turn their original 8-point lead into double digits in a blink of an eye!
10 points!
The gap just started in the second half and immediately turned into 10 points at 46:56!
If this is not a blow to the Oklahoma City Thunder, then why should they show a very helpless and disappointed expression on everyone's face after Wu Dawei's dunk?
There is no doubt that they have expectations for the second half, so they seem unacceptable to the situation where they only concede the ball at the beginning of the second half.
Because in this way, the situation facing the Oklahoma City Thunder will also appear more difficult!
Of course this is not what they want to see, and it is far from what they expected during the fifteen-minute break.
So at this moment, the Oklahomas were very disappointed. They would definitely have some impact on them, because they were about to successfully defend again in the second half, but who would have thought that in a blink of an eye, the passing that Danny Green chose in helplessness made Wu Dawei such a powerful dunk!
Only Kendrick Perkins has a deep understanding of the dunk this time. He would not think it was a wonderful dunk. However, the Cleveland fans on the sidelines seemed very satisfied with it!
At the beginning of the second half, although the Cleveland Cavaliers did not start well, they eventually survived the difficulties. Wu Dawei's dunk also helped the Cleveland Cavaliers widen the gap between the two sides.
The 10-point lead will naturally make people feel more at ease, but after all, the whole game has not been completely over. After Wu Dawei completed his dunk against Kendrick Perkins, the ball rights naturally returned to the hands of the Oklahoma City Thunder at this time.
So for the Cleveland Cavaliers, although they got a double-digit lead at this time, how to preserve such an advantage will become the key to their problem in the next game.
After all, the Oklahoma City Thunder is not easy to bully. Although they were almost always being beaten by the Cleveland Cavaliers in this game tonight, they still did not give up this game tonight!
This is the key point. As long as the Oklahoma City Thunder has not given up on this game tonight, the Cleveland Cavaliers cannot be careless for a moment.
No matter what, as a team with the top three attack firepower in the league, as long as the Oklahoma City Thunder plays a wave of small highs, it is not a problem for them to catch up with the 10-point gap!
So after leading by 10 points, the Cleveland Cavaliers are more careful than before. Because at this time, the game has entered the second half, and there are actually not many opportunities left for the Oklahomas. So when they still have expectations for this game tonight, they will definitely launch a counterattack wave!
How the Cleveland Cavaliers resist the next counterattack launched by the Oklahoman will become the key to the next game! As long as the Oklahoman counterattack can be resisted, the Cleveland Cavaliers will definitely win this game tonight!
So at this time, when the ball came to the hands of the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Cleveland Cavaliers were very serious when defending in their half-court position!
Everyone stared at the players they were responsible for meticulously. No one dared to relax at all. He was afraid that the players they were responsible for would suddenly disappear from their eyes with the ball!
Although the current lead has been expanded to double digits by the Cleveland Cavaliers, this is not the ultimate goal of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Because they want to win this game tonight, if they can expand their current 10-point lead, it will naturally be the best thing for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
After all, the more you lead, the more you will be more at ease. This is undoubtedly a matter of no doubt. So at this time, if the Cleveland Cavaliers can defend the Oklahoma City Thunder's offense, then they will have the opportunity to continue to expand their lead in the next attack.
However, it is obvious that the ideas of the Cleveland Cavaliers players will not be recognized by the Oklahoma City Thunder players. Especially Kevin Durant, who had been going up to defend Danny Green was almost going to successfully force the Cleveland Cavaliers to dribble through half the game, but who knew that Danny Green used a method to make Kevin Durant lose all his face and passed the ball out!
It also passed to Wu Dawei, who was in charge of the control of Kevin Durant. What's more important is that Wu Dawei actually scored that goal! All of this made Kevin Durant feel unacceptable! Especially when Wu Dawei scored with a dive and finished the scoring point, the entire Speed Loan Center's crazy posture made Kevin Durant feel unhappy!
This is not the script he wants to see, and the score difference is not as he wishes. Turning into a double-digit gap means that the Cleveland Cavaliers have a greater advantage on the basketball court at present, and the corresponding situation facing the Oklahoma City Thunder is naturally more difficult.
All this was not what Kevin Durant wished, so at this time he would of course hope to help the team get rid of such a difficult situation. However, obviously the 10-point gap cannot be recovered in a short time. The best way is to score a goal first and then defend the Cleveland Cavaliers' offense in the next defensive round!
The premise is that this offense can score, so Kevin Durant wants to pass the ball from Russell Westbrook. Then facing Wu Dawei's defense, in the high-level pick-and-roll of Cleveland fans, he took advantage of Kendrick Perkins, who was previously depressed by Wu Dawei in front of him, and then scored a mid-range jump shot!
Kevin Durant has no idea how many times this is the defensive jump shot against Wu Dawei. His height and arm span make Wu Dawei feel like he is high, because this is a natural gap that is difficult to smooth through acquired efforts!
The ball was swept and entered the net. Kevin Durant continued to show his equally hot state on the offensive end in the second half! At the same time, it also made the Cleveland fans who were in high mood on the sidelines lose their voices for a while, and the Quick Loan Center once again became quieter...
48:56!
However, although Kevin Durant scored the first goal of the Oklahoma City Thunder in the second half, they were still 8 points away from the Cleveland Cavaliers who played at home.
Although Kevin Durant's goal also gave the Oklahoma City Thunder some confidence, they still have to face a very difficult situation on the defensive end.
The Cleveland Cavaliers regained the ball, and they once again scored halftime. This would still be a difficult defensive task for the Oklahoma City Thunder.
If they cannot limit the Cleveland Cavaliers' attacks in this defense, they will once again face a double-digit downside. Although this is not what they wish, they must also accept it.
So they must do a good job in the next defense, and they narrowed the gap in scores to 8 points again. Naturally, they would not hope that the gap will return to the 10th division in this Cleveland Cavaliers' offense!
Although Wu Dawei was in excellent form in this game tonight, the Oklahoma City Thunder did not have many good ways to curb him. However, the Cleveland Cavaliers would not hand over the ball to Wu Dawei and let him deal with it.
After all, basketball is still a team sport, and if the ball is handed over to Wu Dawei every time, then he will be exhausted even if he is not exhausted.
It was as if the next time, the Cleveland Cavaliers did not hand the ball to Wu Dawei to deal with it. This would of course make Kevin Durant, who had helped the Oklahoma City Thunder score a goal before.
After all, most of the Oklahoma City Thunder's offense is now solved by him and Russell Westbrook, and Kevin Durant has to face Wu Dawei on the defensive end.
Although he will have a stern battle every time he faces Wu Dawei, after all, his physical fitness is limited. What's more, Kevin Durant himself is not a player with very good physical strength. (To be continued...)
