442. Sad Stories

The last quarter of the game started quickly, and the rest time between the festivals was usually only about 2 minutes. So the players almost just sat down and took a breath, and then went back to the basketball court.

Of course, it is impossible for both sides to put all the main players on the basketball court at the beginning of the fourth quarter. After all, there are 12 minutes in one quarter, and before the start of the fourth quarter, both sides had already experienced 36 minutes of game time. The core players who played most of these 36 minutes will definitely feel tired and need a rest at this time.

However, for Oklahoma City Thunder head coach Brooks, he was very nervous inside. Because the second quarter was also the scene of rotation, it was still vivid in his goal at this time!

He will not forget that it was at that time that the Cleveland Cavaliers directly established a leading advantage with the wave of small highs led by Kyrie Irving. Until this time, the wave of small highs played still affected this game at this time.

So Brooks certainly did not dare to replace all the core players to rest at this time. Kevin Durant would definitely sit on the bench to rest at this time. Because as the Oklahoma City Thunder's signature player and in such an excellent condition in this game tonight, Brooks also wanted to rely on Kevin Durant's personal ability to compete with the Cleveland Cavaliers at the last moment.

The only players left in the team who have the ability to lead the team are Russell Westbrook. In the past, there was another James Harden who could share the burden of the two core players. However, after James Harden left Houston, Brooks obviously had no other suitable candidates.

Although Reggie Jackson has grown very quickly this season, at this time, Coach Brooks did not dare to relax and trust such a young player...

As for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Coach Byron Scott certainly would not have put all the core players on the bench. Just like his military deployment at the beginning of the second quarter, Kyrie Irving was still placed on the basketball court by Byron Scott at this time.

The reason is of course because at the beginning of the second quarter, Kyrie Irving successfully led the Cleveland Cavaliers to widen the gap with the Oklahoma City Thunder. So at this time, Byron Scott would of course choose to continue to believe Kyrie Irving.

In such a lineup, Kyrie Irving can also gain complete possession of the ball, and it seems that he has played a little more easily.

However, it is obvious that the fourth quarter game was not the previous second quarter game. When the fourth quarter game started again, the Cleveland Cavaliers were not able to play the advantage they had in the second quarter game under the leadership of Kyrie Irving!

Obviously, this is because the Oklahoma City Thunder pays much attention to it than before. Therefore, the Cleveland Cavaliers naturally cannot easily launch a high-level attack.

In this way, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who were already passive in the third quarter, did not get any advantage at this time. Moreover, not only did they fail to get any advantage, but they were also chased by the Oklahoma City Thunder led by Russell Westbrook for a few points!

Although the Cleveland Cavaliers relied on Wu Dawei's personal ability to resist several crazy counterattacks of the Oklahoma City Thunder in the third quarter!

But now Wu Dawei is not on the basketball court, while Russell Westbrook took advantage of this moment to start attacking the Cleveland Cavaliers' half-court position with his unparalleled impact.

As a result, the situation of the Cleveland Cavaliers became precarious again. Cleveland Cavaliers coach Byron Scott, who had not sat down on the bench on the sidelines for a long time, stood up again at this time.

He frowned and looked at the situation on the basketball court. Kyrie Irving was unable to gain the upper hand when he played against Russell Westbrook tonight. The period at the beginning of the second quarter where he played the best was also when Russell Westbrook was not present.

So at this moment, Byron Scott frowned not only at the situation on the basketball court, but also raised his head to look at the large ceiling screen above the stadium.

The fourth quarter game only took more than one minute and two minutes, and the Cleveland Cavaliers' original 7-point lead was once again back to 4 points. And what's different from the previous third quarter game was that at this time, the Oklahoma City Thunder closed the gap between the two sides to only 4 points, and also held the ball in his hand.

In other words, they are not only narrowing the score gap again to a very dangerous range, but also having the opportunity to continue to narrow the score gap between the two sides.

At this time, Russell Westbrook controlled the ball. Obviously, he was certainly ready to attack by himself! The person standing in front of him was Kyrie Irving. Irving's performance not only made Byron Scott slightly disappointed, but of course he was not satisfied.

So he knew that this defense was very important, especially Russell Westbrook, who was holding the ball at this time, must be the key figure of the Oklahoma City Thunder in this next attack.

This will also become a key defensive round in the fourth quarter. At this time, not only the fans on the sidelines were closely watching the situation on the basketball court. On the bench of the Oklahoma City Thunder in the distance, many Oklahoma City Thunder players have stood up, and some have even stepped into the field to pay attention to this competition.

Such a highly anticipated feeling will certainly make people feel very useful, but Kyrie Irving also understands that if you cannot defend the opponent under such circumstances, it will definitely not be a good thing.

So of course he had to do his best to defend Russell Westbrook's attack this time, but it was difficult to succeed with his mouth. Just like this time, when Kyrie Irving was trying hard to defend, Russell Westbrook, who held the ball, also tried his best to make this attack!

After all, this offense is very critical for the Oklahoma City Thunder. They wanted to catch up with the lagging point difference before, but they never got what they wanted. Now, as the game entered the fourth quarter, the Oklahoma City Thunder finally had such an opportunity, and it was so brightly placed in front of Russell Westbrook. Do you think Westbrook might not seize such an opportunity?

Under the witness of everyone in the Quick Loan Center, Russell Westbrook activated the attack mode. His speed was as fast as lightning. Even at this time, Kyrie Irving was fully focused on the defensive end, but he still could not limit Russell Westbrook's rapid speed!

After a flash, he almost disappeared in front of Kyrie Irving's eyes, and Kyrie Irving hadn't even reacted. The next second, he heard the most annoying lamenting sounds from the Cleveland fans on the sidelines at this time.

With a swish, the sound of basketballs browsing the net also rose leisurely at this time! Russell Westbrook's breakthrough speed was astonishing as it was!

80:82!

The score difference was even 2 minutes before the start of the fourth quarter, and the Oklahoma City Thunder was crazily narrowed from the previous 7 points to the last 2 points left!

It's a 2-point gap! The gap can be equalized in one attack round!

When Russell Westbrook completed this fast attack, the entire Quick Loan Center was in awe, while the Oklahoma City Thunder was filled with joy!

The person who was most excited was of course Kevin Durant, the core of the Oklahoma City Thunder! He played quite depressedly in this game tonight, because when he was on the basketball court from beginning to end, the Oklahoma City Thunder was suppressed by the Cleveland Cavaliers!

So after the game entered the fourth quarter, the team was able to close the score so that the last 2 points left under such circumstances. For Kevin Durant, of course, he would see the dawn of hope for victory!

So it is no surprise that he seems excited at this time! When the Oklahoma City Thunder seems excited about this, it is naturally the time for the Cleveland Cavaliers to be the most unhappy.

Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Byron Scott asked for a timeout without hesitation, and the game was interrupted. Obviously, when Russell Westbrook forced his breakthrough and Irving's defense completed this breakthrough attack, the situation suddenly became very unfriendly to the Cleveland Cavaliers!

The score difference was narrowed to 2 points, and there were more than 9 minutes left in the fourth quarter! This was not good news, Byron Scott shook his head helplessly. However, at this moment, the first thought that flashed through his mind was to replace Wu Dawei on the court!

This is the only thought in Byron Scott's mind at this time and the most firm idea. Wu Dawei, who scored 35 points and 13 assists after three quarters, is undoubtedly the savior of the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight!

At least he resolved the Oklahoma City Thunder's crazy counterattack several times in the third quarter, and it was indeed like a savior! If it weren't for Wu Dawei's continuous and efficient performance in the third quarter, the Cleveland Cavaliers might have been caught up with by the Oklahoma City Thunder in the third quarter!

So at this time, it is not surprising that Byron Scott was the first to think of Wu Dawei!

After all, Wu Dawei is the player who performed the best tonight in the Cleveland Cavaliers, and his performance is an important reason why the Cleveland Cavaliers can lead the Oklahoma City Thunder in this game tonight!

“We played badly!”

This is the first thing Byron Scott said to all the players during the timeout! He shouted loudly, and the blue veins on his forehead were exposed, showing his dissatisfaction with the team's performance before this.

"We can't continue like this anymore! We play like a piece of shit! The Oklahoman has already chased him, guys, do you want to win? Do you just want to watch the Oklahoman shit and pee on our heads like this!?"

Byron Scott scolded angrily. The reason why he did not scold the players during the holidays but encouraged everyone was because the team still had a 7-point lead at that time. He didn't want to hurt everyone's morale. Now, the team has exhausted the leading advantage like this, so how could Byron Scott not be angry!?

Of course he would get angry at this time, which is natural. Because he can't watch the team fall like this. After all, their goal is to win this game tonight, rather than being turned over by his opponent in this game tonight!

That's why Byron Scott became so angry at this time! Because obviously, the situation on the basketball court at this time did not change much compared to the third quarter game!

The Cleveland Cavaliers fell into infinite passiveness at the beginning of the fourth quarter. This made Byron Scott, who had originally planned to give Wu Dawei a little more rest, immediately change his mind.

In this way, although the team still has a little advantage on the basketball court, this is the only advantage that the Cleveland Cavaliers have tonight. If they cannot regain control of the situation on the basketball court after the timeout, but continue to let the Oklahoma City Thunder turn like this, then the situation of the Cleveland Cavaliers in this game tonight will become very bad!

If the Cleveland Cavaliers really got a big comeback by the Oklahoma City Thunder after being led by more than three quarters in this home game tonight, then this would definitely be a sad story...

And in such a story, no one would want City to be the unlucky starring actor... (To be continued...)
