436. The choice of victory

After entering the second half, the game began to become more rhythmic. The two sides fought against each other and made the game intense at this time, which also made the Cleveland fans on the sidelines feel more excited.

There is no doubt that the battle against the enemy is always the most intense way of the game. Especially this game is another highlight. There are countless super stars in the lineup of both sides, so naturally this will make such an offense even more exciting and intense!

Such an attacking scene naturally feasted the eyes of Cleveland fans on the sidelines, but for Brooks, the head coach of the Oklahoma City Thunder, who was standing on the sidelines, he did not feel very satisfied.

Because his team did not gain any advantage in the offense. Although the Cleveland Cavaliers could not defend their attack, the same Oklahoma City Thunder could not stop the Cleveland Cavaliers from scoring.

The score difference between the two sides did not change any time compared to the midfield game, and there was still an 8-point gap. But the problem is that the game time has entered the middle of the third quarter!

In other words, there is little time and opportunity left for the Oklahoma City Thunder to catch up points in the second half, which is definitely not a good signal for the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Therefore, as the head coach of the Oklahoma City Thunder, Brooks seemed so dissatisfied. He did explain to the players during the halftime break that if he could not defend Wu Dawei, he would fight against the Clevelanders.

But the problem is that he did not ask the players to completely avoid defense in the attack, and let the Cleveland Cavaliers attack their hinterland like this. In this way, is their offense of any significance? Because after they scored, the Cleveland Cavaliers immediately returned the color!

There is no doubt that this is something that makes people feel speechless. So Brooks certainly cannot tolerate the team "waste time" so endlessly!

So when the game was in the middle of the third quarter, Brooks finally couldn't help asking for a timeout. At this time, the score between the two sides had already become 59:67, and the Cleveland Cavaliers, who were at home, still had the advantage at home!

In this offensive battle, the Cleveland Cavaliers did not lose any loss. Although they could not limit the Oklahoma City Thunder score, this made Cleveland Cavaliers coach Byron Scott feel very dissatisfied; but fortunately, at least their performance on their offensive end was still very good.

The score difference is still 8 points. Although it is different from Byron Scott's requirements for the players during the half-time break, it is at least maintained at the level of the first half. Of course, this is something that Byron Scott can accept.

In the attack at the beginning of the second half, there is no doubt that Wu Dawei and Kevin Durant are the keys! The two people's tit-for-tat competition is of course the biggest theme, and at this time, Wu Dawei has already scored 26 points and 10 assists, and Kevin Durant has even made a 30-point high score for the Oklahoma City Thunder!

At this time, the whole game was only in the third quarter!

The two of them have already performed such excellently, but obviously, from the overall data, of course, Wu Dawei is still better. After all, it is not just that he scored 26 points, but only scored 4 points less than Kevin Durant; at the same time, he also gave 10 assists on the offensive end!

This is also the reason why he revitalized the entire Cleveland Cavaliers' offensive state and performance. All of this is the major reason why the Cleveland Cavaliers are still 8 points ahead of the Oklahoma City Thunder at this time!

At least in this regard, Kevin Durant is definitely not as good as Wu Dawei's performance, otherwise the Oklahoma City Thunder would not be able to lag so many points behind the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Of course, from another perspective, if Kevin Durant had no 30 points, then the current Oklahoma City Thunder would not have been stuck with the score. It might even have been left behind by the Cleveland Cavaliers long ago!

But despite this, Kevin Durant's performance was of course not qualified compared to Wu Dawei, and at least it was much inferior!

Because he was unable to help the team get close, and at the beginning of this game, the Cleveland Cavaliers were also behind, but Wu Dawei used his block against Kevin Durant under the same circumstances to help the Cleveland Cavaliers complete the process of overtaking the score!

From this aspect, Wu Dawei's performance is also far better than Kevin Durant's.

So when Oklahoma City Thunder head coach Brooks requested a timeout, the expressions of the players on both sides on the basketball court were completely different! The players of the Cleveland Cavaliers all seemed more excited, while the players of the Oklahoma City Thunder were mainly Kevin Durant, and the expressions on their faces all seemed very depressed...

"We need defense!"

This is the first thing the team coach Brooks said to them when the Oklahoma City Thunder players walked off the basketball court!

Obviously, Brooks was very dissatisfied with the team's performance on the defensive end in the previous game. If their performance on the offensive end tonight could score 100 points, then they would only have a maximum of 59 points on the defensive end, and they would not even reach the passing line!

Because after playing such a smooth attack, the Oklahoma City Thunder still cannot narrow the gap to within 8 points! This is enough to show that although the Oklahoma City Thunder performed very well on the offensive end, it is always very bad on the defensive end!

So for this, Oklahoma City Thunder head coach Brooks must first emphasize during the timeout. There is no problem with the team's current offense. It seems that the Cleveland Cavaliers can't limit their offense at all. If the defense problem can be solved at this time, it is not impossible for the Oklahoma City Thunder to slowly overtake their opponents in the next game!

Similarly, while Oklahoma City Thunder coach Brooks emphasized defense to his players, Cleveland Cavaliers coach Byron Scott also emphasized defense!

Although the Cleveland Cavaliers are still as stable as Tarzan to control the advantages on the basketball court, their defensive ends in previous games have always been unsatisfactory.

Otherwise, their current lead would definitely not be only 8 points. If their performance on the defensive end can be better, then the Cleveland Cavaliers will definitely not just lead the Oklahoma City Thunder, who is playing away, will not be just 8 points!

"We're going to defend their shots! Guys!"

Byron Scott shouted loudly to the player during the timeout, and he emphasized the Oklahoma City Thunder's shooting, because this is the most important attack method for the Oklahoma!

Because the attack power of the inside is not strong enough, the Oklahoma City Thunder's main offensive method is still focused on the outside and breakthroughs, especially on the outside. Due to the existence of a shooting machine like Kevin Durant, the Oklahoma City Thunder's outside is particularly terrifying!

"We can't give the Oklahoma so many opportunities to shoot from the outside! They performed too easily on the offense, as if they were playing an offense without defense! This is an absolute shame for us! Nothing will make us feel more bad than this, so I hope that after the timeout, we can show a stronger belief on the defensive end than before! A belief that we can't let the Oklahoma City Thunder shoot easily anymore!"

"Guys, although we have a great lead now, this is not enough to guarantee that we will win this game tonight! There are still about 16 minutes left, and no one knows what will happen in the next 16 minutes!"

"So, we must work harder! You don't want the efforts you have made before to be in vain at the last moment!"

The head coaches of both teams began to emphasize the team's defense at the time of the timeout, which is of course a completely different topic from the situation in the previous game.

So you can also imagine what the theme of the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Oklahoma City Thunder will become after the timeout is back. It will definitely be completely different from before the timeout. Even if both sides still play a bright-tempo attack, it will definitely not be as refreshing as before!

However, winning and viewing are always difficult to achieve both. Most of the time, in order to win, every team often chooses to lose viewing. This is also impossible. After all, victory is the thing that makes people like the most.

And if the scene is just good and it is difficult to win the game, then it is just a loser after all. The loser can't get anything, just like the Oklahoma City Thunder in front of you.
