293. Pay

In the early part of the second quarter, both sides sent their own substitute players. With the strengthening of these trades and continuous adjustments, the Cavaliers' substitute lineup has gradually taken shape and can always perform well.

The Oklahoma City Thunder, the youth team in the Western Conference, also has their outstanding strength on the bench, but because of the game tonight, James Harden played too early, so that their substitute lineup did not have the impact on the basket as usual.

Forced rotations have never been a good situation, and the same is true for the Oklahoma City Thunder tonight. James Harden was replaced by head coach Brooks at the end of the first quarter, while Swiss Sefrosa, who was replaced by him in the first quarter, made a debut in the second quarter and led the team's second echelon to continue to fight on the court.

Of course, the score difference of 10 points is now destined to prevent several core players of the Thunder from having too much rest. Kevin Durant was back in the second quarter after only one minute.

Wu Dawei was still pressed on the bench by head coach Byron Scott, drinking his sports drink leisurely. The huge contrast between the two made Kevin Durant seem to be doing his own fault.

Although Kevin Durant's appearance during this period has left the Oklahoma City Thunder without any worries on the offensive end, on the defensive end, the Oklahoma City Thunder has also not solved the Cavaliers' offense well.

The substitute lineup consisting of Antoine Jamison, Rasu Butler, Ramon Sessions, JJ Sikson also has great strength. Although veteran Rasu Butler faced quite a lot of difficulties when facing Kevin Durant, Antoine Jamison's omnipotent performance on the offensive end still allows the Cavaliers to rely on the offensive end.

However, despite this, the Cavaliers' head coach Byron Scott dare not be too careless. No matter how the opponent is in the same condition tonight, they are still a strong team in the West District. Although the bold statements made by Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook before the game did make Byron Scott, the head coach of the Cavaliers, not very comfortable, but now in the game, Scott naturally understands very well that he should not lose the big picture because of small things.

So after Kevin Durant played for one minute and within this minute, after winning consecutive offensive ends, Byron Scott waved to his bench and called Wu Dawei to his side.

The meaning is very obvious, and naturally he hopes that Wu Dawei will play to limit Kevin Durant's score and stabilize the rhythm of the game. Although Kevin Durant scored 4 points within this minute, he still cannot narrow the score difference by one point at once.

When Wu Dawei relied on the gap between a dead ball, the score was only 26:35. The Cleveland Cavaliers, who played at home, were still more than nine points ahead of the Thunder!

After Wu Dawei came on the court, he naturally needed to face Kevin Durant, but the ball was in the hands of Cleveland's team. Ramon Sessions dribbled through the half, and then he directly handed the ball to Wu Dawei, who was standing at the top of the high arc. Wu Dawei faced Kevin Durant.

Antoine Jamison took the initiative to step forward and made a pick-and-roll for Wu Dawei, and then Wu Dawei moved the ball from him. Wu Dawei made a move to break through the inside, so that the Thunder players who were originally responsible for defending Jamison had to take the steps of snatching up and blocking Wu Dawei's advancement, so as to give Kevin Durant more time to return to defense.

At this time, Jamison, who had made a pick-and-roll for Wu Dawei, ran in the opposite direction. Wu Dawei was not greedy for the ball, so he directly passed the ball. Jamison had a good basket outside the three-point line, and his touch was very hot tonight.

The basketball crawled into the basket with a swish, and scored a three-pointer!

26:38, the Cavaliers' lead turned into 12 points in an instant.

This made Kevin Durant very upset, but now is not the time for him to be frustrated. Kevin Durant knew that he had to stabilize his morale on the offensive end. After the point guard dribbled through half the game, Kevin Durant also stood at the top of the three-point line to face Wu Dawei's defense. He first tried a few shaking. After finding that Wu Dawei was still indifferent, Kevin Durant did not show off.

He waved to the inside line and signaled his teammates to make a pick-and-roll for himself. Then Kevin Durant relied on the pick-and-roll and threw Wu Dawei away and then rushed to the inside line. Wu Dawei did not dare to go around the back when defending the pick-and-roll, but chose to squeeze over from above the pick-and-roll player because Kevin Durant's feeling outside the three-point line is not his level in his rookie season.

In this way, Wu Dawei was behind Kevin Durant who broke into the inside line by more than half a distance, but Wu Dawei certainly would not give up catching up. He tried to narrow the gap between himself and Kevin Durant, and then when Kevin Durant moved forward and flew into the paint area, the basketball in his arms was a vain doubled!

Durant easily felt this different feeling. When he looked down, he found a yellow arm pressing on the ball in his arms. Almost instantly, he understood what was about to happen. So, Kevin Durant raised his arm without hesitation, and then screamed. The basketball was out of his control, but his trick of trying to win the referee's sympathy in the end did not succeed.

The whole game was filled with hot cheers covering up everything. Wu Dawei cut off the ball and launched a fast attack. He ran towards the front court with the ball. Seforosa was the only player to return to defense. When Wu Dawei was about to rush into the three-point line, Seforosa was standing on the free throw line ready to go.

Wu Dawei did not come out, but chose to pass the ball to Ramon Sessions on the other side. After receiving the ball, he continued to push the ball and successfully attracted Seforosa's attention from Wu Dawei. Then Sessions and Seforosa almost stuck together in the next second.

Seforosa's defense is of course to stop the man closer to the basket, but Ramon Sessions never thought of scoring this time in the middle of the rush. He threw the ball into the air when he was about to rush into the paint area.

Then in the Oklahoman airspace, Wu Dawei's flying figure was no longer stopping!

A powerful and heavy dunk, the sound of the metal rack in the basket ignited the emotions of the fans in the audience!

26:40!

The score difference was instantly widened to 14 points, and the Cavaliers had an absolute initiative and advantage in this game! The bold words of the Oklahoma City Thunder players before the game became the coldest joke at this time! The shamelessness may be the only feeling they felt in the cheers of the 20,000 fans in the game.

Brooks felt the feeling of the first time the two sides fought this season again, and the helplessness made the young coach feel a little worried for a while.

Faced with the Cavaliers' rainbow-like momentum and the tsunami of cheering in the arena, Brooks knew that the Clevelanders could no longer play this game without restraint, otherwise they might really be going crazy! And by that time, it would be really impossible to turn things around.

Brooks requested a timeout, and at this time he could only ask for a timeout to give his team some breathing opportunity. Then, the question he needed to think about was how to deal with the imposing Clevelanders after the game ended and started again.

It’s not that he didn’t know what his favorite players Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook said in front of the media’s camera that he didn’t stop them because he didn’t want the players under him to feel that they wanted to control everything they had, but the current situation is that Kevin Durant and others had become even worse before the game.

"Hey, Kevin Durant, you big fool, didn't you say you would beat our team?! What's the result now?! Ha, you're just a gauze that's unobstructed!"

"Oh, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook are just fools who can only talk big! Isn't you so great that you can't find Bei anymore?"

Although most of the Thunders' bench sit behind the bench are team officials or members of the team who followed the team to Cleveland, you should know that they are now in the Quick Loan Center in Cleveland. No matter how many team officials and members of the players are, they are just a small part of the 20,000 Cleveland fans who came to the scene tonight.

Faced with the mockery of all the fans of the court, the current Thunder players could only endure it silently. After all, this is the home court of the Cleveland Cavaliers, not to mention that they are still the one with a huge lead on the court.

Before the Oklahoma City Thunder could not surpass the score difference on the court, they could only swallow their anger and knock off their front teeth and swallow them into their stomachs.

The Thunder players sitting on the bench now, especially Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, have no smiles, and their dejected appearance looks more like paying for their utter nonsense before the game.

Who told them to be so unrestrained before this? The retribution in this life came so quickly that the Quick Loan Center completely turned into a sea of ​​cheering.
