71. Keep the edge

86:82, the score difference is still as much as 4 points. Although the Oklahoma City Thunder began to send all its main players, the Cavaliers are still firmly guarding their last position under the leadership of Wu Dawei!

It was like the Thunder team conquered the bridgehead, but they did not move forward in front of the final base, which made them feel extremely anxious.

Not only the Thunder players on the court, but also the Oklahoma City Thunder fans off the court, and even the Thunder head coach Brooks, were also feeling irritable about the current situation.

The Cavaliers defended the final score difference, which made both sides stalemate in the fourth quarter for a while. For the Cleveland Cavaliers, who had played three away games in a row before the start of this game, they were of course happy to see such a situation. Although the advantage of 4 points is a bit small and too unsafe, at least they are the leading side, and 4 points cannot be equalized in one offensive round, leaving them room for buffering.

The Thunder undoubtedly doesn't like this situation. Although the score difference has been narrowed to a very small score difference compared to the beginning of the second half of the game. However, such a score difference is the most troublesome problem for the Thunder at the moment, because they cannot fill in the disadvantage of these 4 points in any case.

The Cavaliers seemed to be like they were in the middle of their career, and they had to maintain a 4-point advantage no matter what.

Such a situation is undoubtedly a very torture for the Oklahoma City Thunder, because such a point difference that is neither up nor down always gives them hope to catch up. Often, hope is something more terrifying than despair!

After Wu Dawei completed the cooperation with Kyrie Irving on the offensive end, he once again helped the Cavaliers maintain a 4-point lead. In the next period of time, the double convenience entered a relatively stable stalemate.

Both sides made a slight gain on both sides of the offense and defense. While maintaining a balance of power, the 4-point gap still lies between the two sides. However, at this time, the Cavaliers are definitely not in a hurry, while the Thunder are playing in the fourth quarter, and they become increasingly anxious.

92:88, the fourth quarter had entered the last 5 minutes. The Cavaliers still led the Thunder by 4 points. However, at this time the Thunder had the ball. Russell Westbrook quickly advanced to the half-time after getting the ball. He knew that he wanted to narrow the gap or even overtake the ball. The next ball must be scored, and then they had the opportunity to return to the defensive end to defend the Cavaliers' next ball, so as to achieve the goal of narrowing the gap.

But it is easy to say but difficult to do.

Westbrook originally wanted to hand the ball directly to Kevin Durant who was standing at the top of the three-point line, but Wu Dawei, who was responsible for defending Durant, followed him in an endless manner. Moreover, Wu Dawei had contributed 4 blocks and 3 steals to the defensive end tonight, and nearly half of them were data drawn on Kevin Durant.

Although Kevin Durant has also contributed 32 points so far, Westbrook still decided to do one by himself!

Facing Anthony Parker's defense, Westbrook easily shook his opponent so much that he was dizzy, and then he broke into the inside. Westbrook, who had not encountered any obstacles along the way, jumped into the paint area. However, behind him suddenly remembered Kevin Durant's loud roar: "Be careful!"

Westbrook reached out and prepared to use a blue pick to complete the attack, because Chris Carman, who was rushing towards him, did not dare to end the attack with a dunk at such a critical moment.

He was focusing all his energy on the ball, and Westbrook was not prepared for the sudden loud shout. He couldn't figure out why Kevin Durant would call that until the moment he threw the ball into the basket, he realized that it was.

The moment the ball flew from Westbrook's palm to the basket, Westbrook felt bad because the clouds suddenly appeared on his head!

Immediately afterwards, a big hand suddenly appeared on the top of Westbrook's head. He looked closely and the yellow skin color made him think of someone immediately. However, Westbrook had no time to do any remedies at this time, so he could only watch Wu Dawei use his powerful palm to nail the ball to the rebound!

Then, the ball rebounded and had nothing to do with the score...

The Cavaliers got the ball, and no one dared to relax at this time. The crowd on the court rushed towards the Oklahoma City Thunder halftime like waves!

When Wu Dawei finished blocking the hat and ran through half the game, the Cavaliers did not complete the attack. In fact, the Thunder retreated too quickly, so that the Cavaliers missed the opportunity for a fast attack with any hesitation. Chauncey Billups would only control the rhythm and wait for Wu Dawei to pass the half.

Now Wu Dawei is the Cavaliers' first core, not the defensive end like last season, but is just one of multiple cores on the offensive end.

Wu Dawei has now scored a high score of 36 points, and is the player with the most scores on both sides tonight's game. Naturally, Billups cannot not use such a teammate who is a huge threat to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

After halftime, Wu Dawei did not stop, but ran towards the inside line without stopping. At the same time, Valejo also ran up from the bottom line, first made a pick-and-roll for Wu Dawei, and then he was able to successfully rush to the bottom line. Valejo slightly delayed the blocking of Durant and followed some direct steps to widen the distance between the two people; Wu Dawei did not stop after coming to the bottom line, and slipped into the paint area directly. With the help of Kaman's pick-and-roll again, Wu Dawei appeared on the other side of the bottom line. At this time, Kevin Durant was already blocked by Kaman, and at the same time, Billups also passed the ball to Wu Dawei.

Perkins hurriedly came up to make up for the defense, but Wu Dawei had no feeling about the slow-moving flesh shield. After getting the ball, he jumped up!

Of course, the Oklahoma City Thunder fans do not want the Cavaliers to continue to expand the score difference at this time, but Wu Dawei, who scored 36 points tonight, obviously has not yet reached the end of the hot touch!

With a swish, Wu Dawei won the 38th minute tonight!

94:88. With less than five minutes left in the game, the Cavaliers once again opened the score. Now the gap between the two sides has become 6 points!

The Thunder's situation seemed to be getting more and more urgent. However, the Thunder did not request a timeout. After Russell Westbrook took the ball through half the game, Kevin Durant received the ball outside the three-point line. Then he jumped up just one step away from the three-point line.

Wu Dawei stood in the three-point line. Although he noticed Kevin Durant's intention, when he pounced over, Kevin Durant had already thrown the ball towards the basket.

With a swish, the ball drilled into the net!

94:91. In a blink of an eye, the situation changed a little again!

The fans of the Oklahoma City Thunder couldn't help but cheer for this. Although Wu Dawei's performance in this game made people tremble, the fans of the Thunder were also glad. Fortunately, they also had Kevin Durant.

Durant also scored a high score of 30 points for the team at this time!

The situation seemed to be in a stalemate again, but when it came to the offensive end, the Cavaliers were not knocked down by the Thunder three-pointer. They were unmoved and still maintained their own pace of the game.

After Wu Dawei made a pick-and-roll for Billups at a high position, Billups cut into the inside and attracted the defense, and passed the ball to Chris Caman. Caman succeeded in the inside, and the score difference was once again widened by the Cavaliers.

The Thunder's offense was followed. After halftime, Westbrook handed the ball to Kevin Durant. Although Westbrook is also the core of the Thunder, Durant is obviously the first core.

Durant once again received the ball outside the three-point line, but this time he did not shoot a three-pointer as he did last time, just one step away from the three-point line. His confrontation with Wu Dawei outside the three-point line made Wu Dawei much easier.

Durant transported the ball a few times on the spot, trying to get rid of Wu Dawei's defense by shaking. However, this was proved useless in the end, because Wu Dawei was not only not fooled, but he almost broke the ball in Durant's hand repeatedly!

In desperation, Durant had to recruit his teammates to pick-and-roll, and then he completed a jump shot through the pick-and-roll, but the ball did not penetrate into the basket. Although his touch was also good tonight, he could not reach a 100% shooting percentage.

The rebound was won by the Cavaliers, which would be an opportunity for the Cavaliers to win tonight's game. After all, there is not much time left in the fourth quarter. If the Cavaliers can score a goal in the next offense, they will at least lead the Oklahoma City Thunder, who is fighting at home with the last three minutes left in the fourth quarter!

Although 7 points are not an extremely safe score in the last 3 minutes, they are at least difficult to surpass for a while. Moreover, such a leading advantage can also give the Cleveland Cavaliers a great error tolerance rate in the last three minutes.

Everyone stared at the Thunder's halftime, and the Cavaliers had safely controlled the ball and passed the halftime. Chauncey Billups held the ball at a high position, and the atmosphere at the scene solidified for a while.

Wu Dawei was not at the high position, he ran to the bottom line, and Kevin Durant followed Wu Dawei at this time. Wu Dawei, who scored 38 points tonight, will obviously become the biggest threat to the Thunder in this offense.

However, Kevin Durant was not originally a player with strong defense. After all, with an excellent backup player like Sergi Ibaka in the team, Kevin Durant would naturally be less attentive than offensive end on the defensive end. He would definitely not put too much energy into the defensive end in training.

At this time, although Kevin Durant followed Wu Dawei with all his best, when Valaijo and Carman made pick-and-rolls for Wu Dawei at the bottom line, the gap between Kevin Durant and Wu Dawei was instantly widened.

However, Kevin Durant still gritted his teeth and pushed Valaijo and Caman away, and chased after Wu Dawei. With the help of these two pick-and-rolls, Wu Dawei had already run out of the bottom line. When he came outside the three-point line, Billups also passed the ball to Wu Dawei.

After receiving the ball, Wu Dawei jumped up without hesitation!

Outside the three-point line, he jumped up regardless of the situation, just like Kevin Durant before. In the eyes of most people, this is a reckless move, an unreasonable choice in Teacher Zhang's eyes. But just like what Wu Dawei learned from Reggie Miller this summer, a shooter must follow his shooting feeling. As long as the feeling comes, just shoot!

Only by daring to shoot can you shoot those amazing balls. As long as you shoot a crucial ball, people will forget the balls you missed before, and a player who dares to shoot will be remembered; while those who are timid can only make people remember when they fail to shoot.

Kevin Durant had no time to defend at this time. Although he tried his best to keep up with Wu Dawei, the distance between the two finally made him unable to reach this shot!

The ball flew from Wu Dawei's palm to the basket, shaking the hearts of countless people in the Ford Center tonight. The hearts moved with the ball, and everyone's eyes were tightly nailed to the trajectory of the ball's flight at this moment.

The next second, the ball drilled into the basket! The prayer in the hearts of the Oklahoman became fragmented in this moment!

Three-pointer, hit!

99:91!

The game has entered the countdown time of the last three minutes, and at this moment, Wu Dawei made a crucial three-pointer! This three-pointer may even change the situation of the entire game. At least, this three-pointer gives the Cleveland Cavaliers currently an eight-point lead!

This is no longer a point difference that can be easily overtaken. This is not only the Cleveland people who were cheering hysterically at this time that they understand that Brooks, the head coach of the Oklahoma City Thunder, also understands very well.

This eight-pointer was like a big stone, which made the young young man breathless.

The Thunder requested a timeout helplessly.
Chapter completed!
