733.
In the second quarter, after both sides dispatched their own core lineups, they became anxious again.
And compared to the first quarter, it is obvious that the intensity of the second quarter is far greater than that of the first quarter.
This made this game more and more intense. After all, both the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Oklahoma City Thunder really wanted to win the game tonight.
And the current anxious situation will naturally make the result of the game more difficult to guess.
After all, no matter which side it is, I really hope that I can become the winner of the game at this time, but the reality is that neither of them can win the game immediately in this game tonight.
Because it is not just Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard's performance is very outstanding, the core players of the Oklahoma City Thunder Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook also have full impact!
So in this way, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, their expectations for a 22-game winning streak will definitely become extremely difficult.
But that won't stop the Cleveland Cavaliers from trying to fulfill it, after all, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they are not particularly afraid of their opponents.
What's more, in this game tonight, the game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Oklahoma City Thunder is indeed very anxious now.
But basically since the beginning of the game, the Cleveland Cavaliers have not been at a disadvantage. Most of the time, they are the leading side on the basketball court, which is beyond doubt.
In other words, from the game to the current situation, it is obvious that the Cleveland Cavaliers are still the one with a bigger chance of winning. Even the Oklahoma City Thunder are the team that plays at home in this game tonight.
However, in the away game, the Cleveland Cavaliers were still not suppressed by the opponent. They showed their due strength, but the Oklahoma City Thunder's status in this game tonight was also a shocking existence.
After all, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, although they are currently the only one in the league, the Oklahoma City Thunder is currently the number one in the Western Conference.
So even if the Cleveland Cavaliers stand out, the gap between the Oklahomas and them is not as big as that of allowing the Cleveland Cavaliers to quickly end the game.
The second quarter game was much more anxious than the first quarter, which was not a good thing for both sides, because in this way, we know that the score gap would become minimal.
Neither the Cleveland Cavaliers nor the Oklahoma City Thunder will have any gains in such a quarter.
This is certainly not good news for both teams who want to win this game tonight. However, compared to the Oklahoma City Thunder, who plays at home, the Cleveland Cavaliers who play away are still more beneficial.
Because at least they are always in the lead, which allows them to always have a slight advantage in the game.
Even if such an advantage seems a bit insignificant, he will naturally have an impact on the game over time.
Especially on the psychological impact of Cleveland Cavaliers opponents, after all, no matter how small the leading advantage is, it will be the lead, and no matter how small the score is, it will be the backward.
When the game ended, the 1-point gap was enough to make the two teams win or lose.
So of course the Oklahoman would not want to see such a situation happening all the time. But when the second quarter ended, the Oklahoman had to face such a situation.
Because when the whistle at the end of the first half was blew, the Cleveland Cavaliers who played away were ahead of the Oklahoma City Thunder with 52:49.
Even though the Oklahomans are the home side tonight, they cannot get more advantages when they are fighting against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Although Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook performed well in the first half of this game tonight. However, they still couldn't stand the Cleveland Cavaliers were almost in the lead throughout the game.
Kevin Durant scored 16 points in the first half, and Russell Westbrook also scored a high score of 14 points. The two of them combined almost scored 30 points, which was enough highlights.
However, their opponents in this game tonight, Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard, the two core members of the Cleveland Cavaliers, were also very outstanding, and even better than them.
Compared with Oklahoma, the performance of the two core members of the Thunder, Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard, the internal and external combination, obviously played a greater amount of energy in this game tonight.
At least this was shown in the first half. Wu Dawei scored 17 points and 5 assists and 4 blocks in the first half. Although he was not particularly good at Kevin Durant's high jump shot, Wu Dawei was still doing a great job in preventing Kevin Durant's breakthrough and the team's assisting defense!
Dwight Howard scored 10 points and 12 rebounds in the first half!
The outstanding performance of the two players in the inside and the outside can be said to have revitalized the entire team. Although the Cleveland Cavaliers did not lead the Oklahoma City Thunder at the end of the first half, at least they still entered the midfield time as a leader.
This is crucial at this time. Because it is enough to prevent the Cleveland Cavaliers from feeling so bad during the break, after all, they still have a 3-point advantage.
In the second half of the game, as long as they need to maintain their state level in the first half of the game, there is still a great chance of winning this game.
Compared with the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Oklahoma City Thunder must play in the second half of the game, which is far better than the first half.
Because they still lost 3 points in the first half, if they couldn't perform better in the second half, they wanted to win this game tonight's only hope.
It's just praying that the Cleveland Cavaliers perform poorly in the second half.
Looking at the Cleveland Cavaliers' state since the beginning of the new season, it is obvious that the chance of this scene happening is very low.
So instead of asking others, it is better to ask them to be better.
After all, no matter what, although the Oklahoma City Thunder is the backward side, they are actually not so many points behind.
This allows them to continue to look forward to the second half of the game.
The fifteen minutes of the halftime break are very important for both players, which allows players from both sides who have played 24 minutes of the game to get a chance to rest at this time.
This is especially true for the Cleveland Cavaliers who played away in this game tonight. After all, before the start of the game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Cleveland Cavaliers had been playing away games for a long time.
So for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they will now need more time to rest than the Oklahomans.
After all, they are not the party at home, so the rare rest time during the game is naturally very important.
However, the 15-minute break was also passed quickly, which means that the second half of this game tonight will soon begin again.
The Oklahoman hopes to regain the advantage of the game in the second half of the game. After all, they are always at a disadvantage in their home court. Anyone will feel very unhappy.
So in the first half, the Oklahoma City Thunder, who was almost at a disadvantage, was naturally ready to make efforts immediately at the beginning of the second half!
Both sides used their lineup in the first half in the second half. So at this time, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, the test followed.
Because after the Oklahoma City Thunder started the second half, they immediately launched an attack. They improved their game rhythm, which made the Cleveland Cavaliers who played away. They felt a little off guard at the beginning.
The Oklahoma City Thunder quickly took advantage of the offensive that had just begun the second half and immediately regained their decline in the first half.
But one thing is obvious, that is, the Cleveland Cavaliers will definitely not sit and watch the Oklahomans eat up their lead.
After all, for them, most of the time in this game, they are the leading side, and the Oklahoma City Thunder has always been behind them.
Kevin Durant's outstanding performance at the beginning of the second half of the Oklahoma City Thunder took a lot of credit, which made Wu Dawei a little upset.
Because he believed that it was because he was unable to defend Kevin Durant in such a wave of offensives that his team was at a disadvantage at this time...
However, the Cleveland Cavaliers will definitely not sit idly by and watch the Oklahomas catch up with the score gap, because for them, this is also something that makes them feel unacceptable.
So when they got the ball again, the Cleveland Cavaliers naturally launched the craziest counterattack at this time. It is impossible for them to let the Oklahomans eat up their lead.
Especially Wu Dawei, who is the core of the team, is unlikely to accept such a thing at this time.
He didn't like this feeling, so when Kyrie Irving dribbled through half the game, he took the initiative to go forward and ask for the ball.
He wants to gain a new advantage in the confrontation with Kevin Durant. At this time, Kevin Durant, who helped the team clear the gap with the Cleveland Cavaliers, his confidence has also increased again at this time.
After all, for him, gaining the upper hand in this game was something he had always wanted to do before the start of this game.
So at this time, when the team was able to equalize the score and had hope of overtaking, Kevin Durant's self-confidence naturally increased.
Of course, when facing Wu Dawei's holding the ball at this time, he also regained his confidence. He wanted to successfully limit Wu Dawei in this defense.
So when he saw Wu Dawei holding the ball, Kevin Durant squatted down as much as possible and tried to lower his center of gravity.
In this way, he can better deal with Wu Dawei's breakthrough. After all, due to the difference in height, Kevin Durant is difficult to react to Wu Dawei's breakthrough.
The lowering of the center of gravity allows him to start faster and react more sensitively at this time.
However, even though Kevin Durant seemed very serious and even prepared at this time, when Wu Dawei launched the attack, he was still at a disadvantage.
Because of the differences between the two people in confrontation, Wu Dawei immediately gained a huge advantage after contacting Kevin Durant!
He directly gained the upper hand at this moment, and although Kevin Durant tried his best to curb Wu Dawei's performance, he failed to succeed.
Because it is obvious that Wu Dawei's strength advantage ensures his advantage when facing Kevin Durant on the offensive end.
He almost squeezed into the position where Kevin Durant should have stood. This made him take the initiative, and Kevin Durant became very passive in an instant.
Wu Dawei cut directly into the inside line, like a very sharp scalpel!
He penetrated the Oklahoman's heart, and the ball was slammed into the basket with one hand!
The score was instantly rewritten again, and the Oklahoman finally tied the score. He suddenly fell into a backward situation because he was unable to defend Wu Dawei...
Such a situation is of course extremely unfriendly for the Oklahoma City Thunder, because they originally thought they were going to take the lead after tying the score.
But who would have thought that Wu Dawei would once again get a key score at a critical moment. It seems that he is going to perform again at a critical moment, because Wu Dawei has performed too many times this season.
In the last game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors, Wu Dawei once performed like this. Of course, under such a situation, it is inevitable that people will think about this aspect...
But this is naturally great news for the Cleveland Cavaliers, and for the Oklahoman, such news is very bad.
Fortunately, their gap is only 2 points at the moment. For the Oklahoma City Thunder, they still have a chance to tie the disadvantage again in the next offensive round.
With the help of the attack wave they themselves fought after the start of the second half, the Oklahoman also tied the score on the next offensive end.
Although Wu Dawei helped the Cleveland Cavaliers in his previous offense, it was obvious that this did not really get the Cleveland Cavaliers out of the sea of suffering.
Because the Oklahoma City Thunder is obviously in full shape, it is completely impossible for the Cleveland Cavaliers to perfectly suppress their opponents under such circumstances.
But at this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers obviously don't want to see such a situation. After all, they are the backward side. If they cannot take the lead at this time, as the game progresses further and further, it will naturally become more and more unfavorable for them.
After all, this is the home of the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Ford Center, and the Cleveland Cavaliers do not have the support of more than 20,000 fans here.
So the more the last moment of the game, they will have to bear more psychological pressure. Although such pressure is invisible, sometimes it will indeed have some unknown impact on the game.
So at this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers naturally hope to resolve the current dangerous situation as soon as possible.
However, the Oklahomans are trying their best at this time, which will make this game not so easy to solve.
Although the Cleveland Cavaliers temporarily seized the lead in the next game with Wu Dawei's personal performance, the Oklahomans chased them closely, which also made the Cleveland Cavaliers who played away from home feel very worried!
Because the opponent bites himself tightly, it will cause variables and suspense in the game. Perhaps if you don’t pay attention, it may cause the Oklahoma City Thunder to overtake behind him!
This is very worrying, so at this time, the situation is naturally very unfavorable.
But in such a situation, if the Cleveland Cavaliers want to keep the game in their own hands, they naturally need more advantages!
