The game started over and 6 minutes later in the first quarter. Westbrook's unexpected ending did bring some morale blows to the Oklahoma City Thunder, which was playing at home, but they did not fall into a slump.

James Harden, who replaced Westbrook, is also a double-sports guard with outstanding personal abilities. This former Tanhua Show is growing into a better player year by year. It is not inferior to Russell Westbrook's sharp breakthrough, but also has a good vision and scoring efficiency at the top of the league.

James Harden is also a player in the Thunder team who should not be underestimated except Kevin Durant, just like Westbrook.

This is also an important reason why the Thunder can climb to the ranks of first-class teams in the West District as a young new army.

After the game started again, Harden, who replaced Westbrook, replaced his previous role in the team. Harden dribbled the ball through the half. Although he changed to a ball holder, Anthony Parker was still facing a big enemy.

He didn't dare to underestimate the mustache in front of him, especially the other party's strong body, which was thicker than Parker.

But after Harden came on the court, he passed the ball to Kevin Durant. No matter how Durant is in this game, he is always the leader of this team.

This is his team, so he must stand up to this team.

Again, after six minutes, Kevin Durant will still remember it freshly, especially after Wu Dawei built his good partner Russell Westbrook in the paint area just now, Kevin Durant knew very well that the Chinese defense in front of him should not be underestimated!

Maybe his defense will look full of flaws, but maybe it is his suspicious plan.

So Kevin Durant waved to the inside and asked for a pick-and-roll at Sergi Ibaka. No matter how scared he was about Wu Dawei's defense, the team needed him at this time!

Durant relied on the pick-and-roll, moved a step to the side, and then jumped to shoot at the three-point line!

Although Wu Dawei predicted Durant's series of actions and ideas, he was powerless to do anything about it. He tried his best to pounce at the place where Durant jumped up, but the opponent took the lead, and the advantage of height and wingspan was in front of him again.

Although Wu Dawei pounced over, he still made Durant shorter in the air. Wu Dawei's defense is indeed extremely outstanding, but Kevin Durant also has his bug. With a height of 210, this guy is going to go against the sky.

The score was tied again.

The first quarter of this game was only halfway through, and the double-easy equalized the score several times. Fortunately, the Cavaliers were always the one who stood in front.

Williams controlled the ball, and near the center line, they were tied by their opponents again, so they still had no choice but to lose this attack.

Williams looked for opportunities alone, and faced James Harden's defense, he was obviously a little easier than before. After tangling with Harden, Williams forced his way through Harden's defense.

At this time, the Cavaliers players have their own positions. Parker and Jamison were ambushed on the two sideline three-pointers, Andre Valaijo was in the inside, and Wu Dawei was at the top of the three-pointer arc, and four people formed a polygonal lineup.

Wu Dawei saw Williams breaking through Harden and rushing towards the inside. He made a step aside, gave Williams room to rush forward, and then went back to block James Harden behind Williams.

In this way, Kevin Durant had to make up for Harden. His tall body suddenly covered Maurice Williams, who was much smaller than him. He blocked Williams' way, but the Cavaliers' offense was not slow.

Williams passed the ball back and passed it back from his head! Wu Dawei received the pass behind him, between the free throw line and the three-point line, and then he jumped up directly. James Harden had no time to defend because he was focusing all his attention on catching up with Williams in front.

Facing the sudden pass, he was stunned for a moment. Taking advantage of this gap, Wu Dawei did not defend any defense when he jumped in the air. Then, he waved his right hand and the basketball flew out.

With a swish, I got into the net!

12:10.

The Cavaliers continued to take the initiative on the court, while the Oklahoman chased them relentlessly behind them. This was basically the rhythm of the first quarter. Westbrook's unexpected departure balanced the hard strength of the two teams. Moreover, the Cavaliers' good condition in this game was also a key factor in their ability to stand in front.

The lack of Westbrook is not just a star guard for the Thunder; it means that Harden must take over his position and do what he must do, and in this way, the Thunder's substitute lineup becomes less powerful.

This gives the Cavaliers a chance to breathe during the rotation period. Usually, at this time, it is a good opportunity for the Thunder to chase points or expand their lead. Now, after lacking James Harden, their substitute lineup can no longer crush the opponent's substitute lineup like in previous games.

Wu Dawei was replaced by head coach Byron Scott with more than one minute left in the first quarter. At that time, he had already scored 6 points and had 3 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block.

When Wu Dawei walked off the court, the Oklahoman did not forget his "crime", and the booed almost accompanied Wu Dawei on the bench. At the same time, Kevin Durant was also replaced by the head coach, and what the Oklahoman gave him was cheers.

Although Durant did not perform the performance expected by Oklahoma fans in the first quarter, his 7 points and 2 rebounds were also very good.

James Harden didn't play on the court for too long. He finished the rest of the first quarter and was replaced by Brooks. Westbrook's departure means that Harden became the starting point guard of the team, so Brooks will not waste his energy in the rotation period.

Both sides all substituted the bench from the end of the first quarter to the beginning of the second quarter, and there was no turmoil. The score continued to be anxious, but the leading and catching up changed a position.

Such a anxious situation is not the situation that Byron Scott wants to see, especially after the Thunder lost an important member in the first quarter, Scott felt that his team should take advantage of this godsend opportunity to eliminate the opponent in one fell swoop!

The best thing is to be able to establish a huge advantage immediately, which makes people feel desperate at first sight, and end the game early. Although Westbrook ended up injured in the first quarter, who knows whether this Ninja Turtles will come back in this game? It is the best choice to end the game early, so as to avoid long nights and dreams.

So Scott frowned and looked at the running players on the court, waved to the bench, and called Wu Dawei to his side.

"Wesbrook cannot play now, this is our opportunity! I hope you can help the team defend against the opponent's attacks on the defensive end. This anxious situation will not benefit us. I hope you can help the team build an advantage!"

With Byron Scott's advice, Wu Dawei returned to the court in just two minutes of the second quarter. He replaced Graham, who was not performing well, and stood on the court, facing the Thunder's substitute forward Jeff Green, a player who had just recovered from injury.

This is also a talented player. As I said before, this young team is talented and talented, which makes everyone jealous. Almost every team is waiting for the contracts of these young people to expire, and then tempt them to leave this small city with a fat contract.

Jeff Green once called the team's Gemini alongside Durant, but he was knocked down by injury recently and had just recovered, so he lost his main position. Now, he is ready to take the opportunity to regain his starting position.

Therefore, facing Wu Dawei, Green is not afraid of his opponent at all!

After Wu Dawei came on the court, the Cavaliers scored the equalizer goal, and it was the Oklahoman's turn to attack. On the side of the court, when Green faced Wu Dawei with the ball, the whole game shouted again.

As far as Westbrook became the angel with the wings in the collision with Wu Dawei, Wu Dawei became the city's number one enemy in this game. So, when they saw Green was about to break through Wu Dawei's defense, they had no reason not to cheer for him.
