291. Arrogant face
"We will definitely win this game!"
"Why?"
"Because Russell returns to the team, the Cavaliers will never have any chance to take advantage of!"
After arriving in Cleveland, Kevin Durant obviously did not forget the last fight between the two sides when he was interviewed by media reporters. He still blamed Wu Dawei for Westbrook's injury and withdrawal.
So when he was interviewed, the sour smell in his words made many Cleveland reporters very dissatisfied.
"Kevin, you have lost to the Miami Heat twice this season, and the Cavaliers won all three games against the Heat, and the Cavaliers also won the last time they fought with you. Why do you have such sufficient confidence and think you can win this game?"
Brian Windhorst, a reporter from the Cleveland Honesty Businessman, started attacking Kevin Durant when he was full of confidence. As a loyal fan of Wu Dawei, Wendhorst does not like the insidious slander of Wu Dawei in other people's words.
Although Westbrook's injury and retreat were indeed related to Wu Dawei, no one thought it was Wu Dawei's fault. The referee did not give Wu Dawei any punishment at that time, which means that Westbrook's injury and retreat were largely what he did.
If Westbrook hadn't overestimated his ability to try to deduct Wu Dawei, and if he was slapped away by Wu Dawei with a big hat, he wouldn't have hurt him at all. From another perspective, Westbrook was benefited from this injury...
At least people were praying for his injury at that time, and forgot about the dilemma of being slapped by Wu Dawei before that!
Brian Windhorst's attack made Kevin Durant, who had been full of confidence, feel a little embarrassed, because it is undoubtedly a slight slight problem. Kevin Durant did not answer Brian Windhorst's question in the end, but walked away.
However, judging from his angry expression, it was obvious that this trip to Cleveland made the league star feel extremely unhappy.
This must be a deviation from his treatment of star-like treatment in Oklahoma City. After all, this is Cleveland, the Cavaliers are Wu Dawei's chassis, not your Kevin Durant's territory. It is naturally equivalent to finding yourself uncomfortable.
The game was full of gunpowder from the beginning. His arrogant expression on Kevin Durant during an interview before the game angered Cleveland fans. However, Kevin Durant obviously would not care whether he angered the fans here, and his good brother Russell Westbrook is also supporting Durant's words.
"Although we did lose to the Cavaliers in the last game, we were all ahead of the score before I was injured. To say that the Cavaliers were able to win the game was not due to my injury, I think even God would not be able to bear it!"
When the Oklahoma City Thunder players repeatedly made such statements in an interview, they had already left the label of arrogance in the hearts of the Clevelanders.
Naturally, Cleveland fans and media hope that their favorite team can make a statement about the Oklahoma's arrogant performance at this time. Soon a reporter came to Wu Dawei. As the current main player of the Cavaliers, Wu Dawei naturally became a representative figure of the Cavaliers in people's hearts.
But obviously, Wu Dawei did not want to talk too quickly. When facing the media's questions, Wu Dawei was very calm: "It's someone else's business to say that. I only know that we won the last game, and tonight, we will continue to move forward! No one can stop us from moving forward."
Although Wu Dawei's statement was not fierce when facing the reporters' questions, in fact, in private, the Cavaliers were of course dissatisfied with the Oklahoma people. However, they were more angry, but ridiculed Kevin Durant and his teammates.
Durant and Westbrook's statements were undoubtedly a performance that could not be afforded to lose. Moreover, the game was a contest more than two months ago. After so long, they could still remember it so vividly, which really made the Cleveland players feel admired.
"Hey, great, as I said, you should have done it to Cameron Anthony. He gave Westbrook and Durant six times each, so they wouldn't dare to speak out like this!"
During the team's training, the players were also teasing what Kevin Durant and his good friend Russell Westbrook said on TV.
"It's quite reliable to block Durant six times, but it's impossible to give Westbrook."
Brazilian Valaijo interrupted his teammates. But what he said made him the target of public criticism. Even Wu Dawei glared at this guy, as if saying that you don’t believe that I can give Westbrook six blocks?
However, the Brazilian's subsequent words made everyone hilarious: "Because Westbrook can't play for a few minutes tonight. I guess he will be injured in his fragile ankle..."
"It's said that pink men are so fragile. By the way, have you noticed the outfit that stupid guy Westbrook wore on TV today? It's so fucking enough..."
The Cavaliers players were of course extremely dissatisfied with the "couple" of Kevin Durant and Westbrook. Naturally, from their words and deeds to their final outfits, they became the objects of jokes made by the Cleveland Cavaliers players.
Who told them to look noble and cool?
The game was held on March 12, local time in Cleveland, which means the night after the Oklahoma City Thunder came to Cleveland.
The Cavaliers are still well prepared for this game. Although their opponents are very strong, the Cavaliers are not afraid of the Oklahoma City Thunder with their current state of winning six games in the last eight games.
Although the Thunder are no longer the Thunder team that they had last time the two sides fought, they will trade with Kevin Durant and Serge Ibaka's brother-in-law Green, who overlapped the positions of the inside, in exchange for the inside-line meat shield center Kendrick Perkins, and Nate Robinson.
But the current Cleveland Cavaliers are no longer the lineup when they first met. Chris Carman and Chauncey Billups join the two strong players, and the lineup is gradually being adjusted, which also makes the Cavaliers' strength leap.
Recently, repeated victory over powerful teams and successive victory over powerful teams are signs that the Cavaliers will recover.
The importance of tonight's game to the Cleveland Cavaliers is self-evident. After being explained before, there is no need to say anything more. On the night of the game, the Quick Loan Center was once again overcrowded, which is enough to illustrate the importance of this game.
As the so-called "giant killer" in the league this season, both the Cleveland Cavaliers players and fans are extremely eager to win this game, especially in the face of such a proud performance by the Oklahoma, the Cleveland fans have a stronger desire to win such a game!
The game was held at 8 pm local time. When the Oklahoma City Thunder players entered the field at the Speed Loan Center, endless boos rang out, but it seemed that Kevin Durant, Westbrook and their teammates didn't seem to care much about it.
However, at this time, they naturally cannot focus too much energy on the off-field. After all, the game is about to begin. If they cannot concentrate at this time, then their bold words before the game will undoubtedly become a laughing stock after the game is over.
This is not the result that Kevin Durant and others want to see.
After complicated appearance ceremony and national anthem, when the players of both sides walked back to the court, everyone understood that the game was about to officially kick off.
Tonight's visiting Thunder team lineup is center Kendrick Perkins, power forward Serge Ibaka, small forward Kevin Durant, shooting guard Sefrosa, and organizational defender Russell Westbrook; while the home team Cavaliers are center Chris Carman, power forward Andre Valejo, small forward Wu Dawei, shooting guard Anthony Parker, and organizational defender Chauncey Billups.
It can be said that judging from the book strength, the Cavaliers are actually no longer weaker than the Oklahoma. It can be said that the only difficult point is that Anthony Parker is more difficult than Seforosa defending Chauncey Billups when defending Westbrook.
Although Chauncey Billups may not be weaker than Westbrook in terms of his contribution to the team, Billups is indeed unable to compare with the young Westbrook in terms of his offensive impact.
However, this is just a matter of paper talk at the moment, and everything has to be decided in the game. The Cavaliers can defeat the Thunder once, but who says they can't defeat the second time?
