After all, their current record of 21 wins and 0 losses is definitely much better than the Oklahoma City Thunder's 18 wins and 4 losses.
As the top team in the league and the only unbeaten team, the Cleveland Cavaliers' morale is currently rising. No matter how they face any opponent, they will not be afraid at all.
Because in their opinion, there are almost no teams in the league that can be compared with them now.
In any case, the Cleveland Cavaliers are currently the two consecutive championship winners in the league, and they have shown excellent enough in the past two seasons.
And so far this season, the dominance shown by the Cleveland Cavaliers is enough to shock other teams in the league.
So at this time, their self-confidence is of course bursting, and even if they face the Oklahoma City Thunder, which is the top of the Western Conference, the Cleveland Cavaliers are still unafraid.
Even if the opponent will play in this game tonight, it will still be impossible to stop the Cleveland Cavaliers' desire for victory and determination to win.
After all, in the past few seasons, the Cleveland Cavaliers have not been at a disadvantage when they face the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Most of the time, the Cleveland Cavaliers have the advantage, which is an important reason why the Cleveland Cavaliers are still confident before the start of this game.
The game will start at 7 pm, while the Cleveland Cavaliers came to the stadium at 5 o'clock to warm up and prepare, and the Oklahoma City Thunder also came to the stadium afterwards.
Although this game is just a regular season game, both the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Oklahoma City Thunder still hope to win.
Because this game is of great significance. Needless to say, the Cleveland Cavaliers do not want to lose this home game!
After all, the Cleveland Cavaliers have now won 21 games in a row, so Kevin Durant and others naturally hope to break their record.
It would be a great thing for the Oklahoma City Thunder to beat such a powerful opponent.
This will increase their morale and self-confidence in a geometric multiple! Of course, it is very important for the Oklahoma City Thunder, so at this time, for the Oklahoma City Thunder, they naturally have great hopes to win a game in front of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
And the victory of the game tonight is what they most want to see.
Wu Dawei, who won the first NBA game, was in a very popular state at this time. Although his opponent was strong in this game, it would not hinder his determination to win the game tonight.
They hope to continue to win streak, and there will be no change in such a goal tonight.
So despite the outstanding opponent's strength, the Cleveland Cavaliers are still very confident to defeat the opponent.
Russell Westbrook made a comeback from the front line in this game tonight, and his comeback is of course very important to the team.
Many people also believe that Russell Westbrook returns at this time to help his team defeat the Cleveland Cavaliers in this game tonight.
So this is a targeted comeback. For the Oklahoma City Thunder, they are bound to win the game in this game.
However, for the Oklahoma City Thunder at this time, even if they are the side of the home game, they may not be able to defeat the Cleveland Cavaliers.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, the competition officially kicked off.
The starting lineup of the Cleveland Cavaliers is now very stable, with Wu Dawei leading Dwight Howard, Andre Varacho, Kyrie Irving and Danny Green.
The Oklahoma City Thunder's lineup has stabilized in recent years, with Kevin Durant leading the way, Russell Westbrook, Serge Ibaka, Kendrick Perkins and Sefrosa.
Before the start of this game, Wu Dawei and Kevin Durant did not talk too much about each other. Obviously, both sides hope to focus all their attention on this game tonight.
So when the game started, the double convenience was to try his best. Although Sergi Ibaka jumped amazingly, he was still a little worse when facing Dwight Howard.
The Cleveland Cavaliers got the ball right at the beginning of this game. After Kyrie Irving did not drag the ball over half, he took the lead and handed it over to Wu Dawei.
Wu Dawei was in a very hot state after the start of the season. At this time, Kyrie Irving naturally chose to hand the ball in his hands as soon as the game started, hoping that Wu Dawei could open up the situation for the Cleveland Cavaliers on the offensive end.
After all, this game is so important, so the whole Cleveland Cavaliers should be more careful. Even if they are confident in this, if they can win the game steadily, why not do it?
When Wu Dawei got the ball, Kevin Durant naturally stood in front of Wu Dawei. The showdown between the two in this game was also one of the highlights of this game.
At this time, the game had just begun, and Wu Dawei and Kevin Durant were on the side. Tonight, the Oklahoma fans who came to Ford's selection will naturally be extremely excited at this time.
However, when Wu Dawei held the ball, Kevin Durant's pressure was much greater than that of the Oklahoma City Thunder fans.
Although Wu Dawei is a little shorter than Kevin Durant, he is not comparable to Kevin Durant in terms of strength.
So when Wu Dawei got the ball, he immediately held the ball and had to make a strong breakthrough in the inside line. Because Wu Dawei really had no advantage on the outside, he naturally chose to use his strengths to attack Kevin Durant's weaknesses at this time, rather than using his weaknesses to fight Kevin Durant's strengths.
If Wu Dawei chooses to shoot like this, he will be easily interfered by Kevin Durant, and some may be blocked by Kevin Durant.
Of course, it is the best way to choose a breakthrough at this time. So at this time, Wu Dawei chose to force his breakthrough in the inside without hesitation. Kevin Durant must be at a disadvantage in terms of physical confrontation.
This situation occurred because of the difference between the two people in tonnage.
Wu Dawei's lowered body also made Kevin Durant unable to cut off the ball in his hand, and then he could easily hit the inside. In terms of breakthrough, Wu Dawei was also faster than Kevin Durant.
He quickly led the latter by half a position in the breakthrough, which gave Wu Dawei the lead in this offense.
He won't waste this opportunity easily because he knows it's a good opportunity to help his team build an advantage in the beginning!
He suddenly stopped urgently. Then he grabbed the ball with both hands and waved it on his head. Then he made an action to stop and jump shot.
Kevin Durant, who was in charge of defense, followed Wu Dawei tightly at this time. When he saw Wu Dawei want to shoot like this, Kevin Durant jumped up without hesitation!
He jumped high, as if he wanted to give Wu Dawei a big hat!
But when Kevin Durant actually jumped up, he realized that everything was wrong! Wu Dawei did not jump up, and at this time he just stood on tiptoe and made a shooting position.
But that's how he fooled Durant's eyes, and when Durant jumped in the air and was about to fall, Wu Dawei made a time difference at this time.
The two people collided in the air. Then Wu Dawei threw the ball into the basket with an extremely irregular gesture!
But when the ball actually flew up, it finally flew into the basket!
I don't know if it was luck or something else, but the fact is that Wu Dawei threw the ball into the basket in an unexpected way during the first attack at the beginning.
And at the same time, the referee also blew the whistle in his mouth!
Even though this is the home Ford Center of the Oklahoma City Thunder, Kevin Durant's obvious suppression action cannot make the referee turn a blind eye to it.
What's more, what he violated was Wu Dawei, the most popular player in the league this season. The referee will naturally make a penalty without any bias at this time.
Kevin Durant made a foul, which means that Wu Dawei not only scored one goal at the beginning, but also got a chance to get a penalty!
Wu Dawei stood on the free throw line and threw the ball into the basket steadily. In this way, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who played away, took the lead.
They immediately took a 3:0 lead after the game started, which also made the Oklahoman who was looking forward to this game tonight feel a little disappointed.
Because in their opinion, the Oklahoma City Thunder should have beaten the Cleveland Cavaliers in this game, and they have beaten the opponent from the first minute of the game.
But obviously the current situation is completely different from what people expected before. The Oklahoman did not take the lead at the beginning of the game, but instead fell into a disadvantage all of a sudden.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have taken the lead from the beginning, and judging from their performance in the past 21 games, the Clevelanders are definitely trying to continue their leading edge now.
Because in the past 21 games they won, they have done this. First, they have gained some leading advantages, and then slowly expanded it until they won the game...
The Cleveland Cavaliers have completed the most perfect transformation this season, and the reason why they become unstoppable is also because of these.
This made the Oklahoma City Thunder fall into a passive state all of a sudden. Russell Westbrook dribbled quickly through the half.
He is a point guard with extremely strong attacks, so when he dribbles through half the game, facing Kyrie Irving's defense, Russell Westbrook chose to attack the inside without thinking.
Like Wu Dawei before, Russell Westbrook obviously also wants to use his outstanding speed to attack the basket.
Although Kyrie Irving can keep up with this brutal defender in terms of speed, his confrontation is not stronger than Westbrook.
He was knocked away by Westbrook at once, and thus the Oklahoma City Thunder's point guard got a great opportunity to attack.
He went straight into the inside without any hesitation. Even when he was facing Dwight Howard's defense, Russell Westbrook did not hesitate!
He completed the dodge in the air, and a pull rod avoided Dwight Howard's block. Then he threw the ball into the basket.
But at this time the ball had just taken out of Russell Westbrook's hand and was directly slapped out by a figure flying out from the flank!
It's Wu Dawei!
When Russell Westbrook saw clearly the person coming, the ball had been slapped away by Wu Dawei...
The ball was out of bounds. Although the ball was still owned by the Oklahoma City Thunder, no doubt Wu Dawei's block was like the previous one that completed a 2+1 offense, making the atmosphere in the entire Ford Center even more dull...
Obviously, you can only understand how horrifying and outstanding Wu Dawei and his Cleveland Cavaliers are this season by watching it with your own eyes.
And in less than a minute of the opening game, the Oklahoma City Thunder fans must have known...
This will naturally make Oklahoma City Thunder fans feel a little ashamed, because before the start of this game, they once felt that the Cleveland Cavaliers' 21 consecutive wins were just general.
There are many luck ingredients mixed in it, but now it seems that this is not the case!
Wu Dawei's opening performance shocked the Oklahoman. The game had just begun and the Cleveland Cavaliers seemed to be in power.
The situation suddenly became very unfavorable to the Oklahoma City Thunder, which played at home. Such a situation will naturally make the Oklahoma City Thunder feel a little off guard.
They naturally wanted to reverse such a decline at this time. After all, their goal in this game tonight was to win the game, rather than watching the Clevelanders perform in the game like this...
After serving again, Russell Westbrook did not continue to attack himself, but chose to hand the ball to Kevin Durant's hands.
Kevin Durant also faced Wu Dawei's defense, but in this one-on-one situation, Kevin Durant did not make any extra moves and directly pulled a spring onion in the high position.
Although Wu Dawei reacted in time, he still couldn't stop Kevin Durant from throwing the ball into the basket because the gap between the two people in terms of height is difficult to make up.
So in this case, Wu Dawei had no way to stop Kevin Durant from throwing the ball into the basket.
He could only watch the ball fly out of Kevin Durant's hand and drill into the basket.
The score became 3:2. Although Kevin Durant used a shot to help the Oklahoma City Thunder temporarily completed redemption during this offense, this did not allow them to take the lead again in the game.
After the ball rights were changed, the Cleveland Cavaliers still led the game with one point advantage, and then it was their turn to attack again.
Naturally, the Cleveland Cavaliers hope to expand the gap in the score again.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are determined to win this game, so they naturally don't want to fight with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
So when Kevin Durant helped the Oklahoma City Thunder catch up, the Cleveland Cavaliers naturally hoped to expand the gap in the next game.
So when they regain the ball, the Cleveland Cavaliers naturally hope to continue to score points. Under such circumstances, Wu Dawei, as the core player of the Cleveland Cavaliers, will naturally be highly expected.
Especially when he scored 3 points and contributed another block in the previous offensive and defensive round, the Clevelanders had higher expectations for him.
Obviously, judging from the state Wu Dawei showed at the opening, he undoubtedly had a very hot state in this game tonight!
At this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers naturally need to make good use of such an advantage, so they naturally cannot waste it for nothing.
After all, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Wu Dawei is the strongest weapon in their lineup! (To be continued...)
Chapter completed!
