78. Devil's Schedule

The feud between the Cavaliers and the Thunder is well known in the league. However, it is more appropriate to say that it is the feud between the two brothers Wu Dawei, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook.

Isn’t Wu Dawei’s reputation just relying on these famous stars and young heroes to reach the top step by step?

Last season, the Oklahoma City Thunder lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers twice. Wu Dawei performed extremely well in both games, completely suppressing Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook!

Now, since the start of this season, the Cavaliers also competed with the Thunder at the Ford Center in Oklahoma City's Thunder home court a few days ago. Wu Dawei set a new high in his personal career score in that game, and 45 points made Wu Dawei unrivaled for a while.

Since Wu Dawei joined the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Oklahoma City Thunder has never gained benefits from the Cleveland Cavaliers. Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook have been defeated many times in the hands of Wu Dawei.

Being blocked and being stolen was like a common occurrence. Even in the last fight between the two sides, Kevin Durant was knocked to the ground by Wu Dawei, and was thrown into face.

From this, it can be imagined how profound the Oklahomans’ relationship with the Cleveland Cavaliers and Wu Dawei would be!

This game will be held at the Cavaliers' home speed loan center on January 19. If the two teams cannot enter the finals together this season, then this fight will be the last meeting of the two sides this season.

Naturally, the Oklahoma City Thunder have a lot of ideas about this game.

However, before this game started, the league finally announced the results of the first round of the All-Star Game to be held in Orlando in February this year.

Wu Dawei won 800,000 votes in the first phase of the vote, ranking first in the league! This Chinese player from the Cleveland Cavaliers became the "vote king" in the first phase!

In the East, the Miami Heat star, LeBron James, ranked first among the Eastern Conference forwards with 690,000 votes; in the West, Kobe Bryant, the leading player of the Los Angeles Lakers, became the player with the most votes in the West with 690,000 votes, and behind him was the forward Kevin Durant from the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Such news is definitely a very good thing for both Wu Dawei and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Wu Dawei became the "vote king" for the first time in his career. Although it has not yet reached the end, it is also a very good honor to be able to become a "vote king" in one stage; and for the Cleveland Cavaliers, the news that Wu Dawei became the "vote king" of the first stage All-Star vote can just divert people's attention from the Cavaliers being broken by the unbeaten season.

However, some people still make a big fuss about this thing that was originally a good thing and used it as a spearhead for attacking Wu Dawei and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Oklahoma City Thunder arrived in Cleveland on January 18. It can be seen that the Thunder attaches great importance to this match with the Cavaliers. After they arrived in Cleveland, they rushed to the training ground and conducted training.

The Thunder players did not receive any interviews during this period. Everyone kept silent, as if they were preparing for the game that will come tomorrow.

However, the Thunder players didn't speak. Some people would speak. Darnell Marbury, a reporter from the Oklahoman, picked up the incident of Wu Dawei winning the first-stage ticket king before the start of this game to mock the Cavaliers:

"Just the second day after the Cavaliers lost to the Memphis Grizzlies, the league announced the voting results for the first stage of the 2012 All-Star Game. The Cavaliers' player Wu Dawei was elected as the voter in the first stage with a high vote. This made the Clevelanders cheered, but obviously, the Clevelanders forgot that in the last game, the voter, who was highly praised by them, had no choice but to the Memphis Grizzlies' inside double towers! To be honest, I think Mark Gasol and Zach Randolph should be the voter king..."

Darnell Marbury suffered a lot last season because of his contempt and belittled Wu Dawei and the Cavaliers. However, obviously, as a loyal fan of the Thunder and someone who hates the Cavaliers and Wu Dawei, he did not learn from it.

Perhaps the Cleveland Cavaliers have been broken by the Memphis recently, which has also made the reporter from Oklahoma City feel comfortable, so he is a little proud.

In short, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, who have been in great fashion since the beginning of the season, they were pushed to the forefront after losing the game against the Memphis Grizzlies and being broken into an unbeaten golden body!

At this time, they can also understand some of the fact that they have been jealous, envious and hated by many people in their recent popularity!

Such pressure suddenly came to the face, which made the players of the Cleveland Cavaliers who had been living in praise before, somewhat uncomfortable, especially the young rookies on the team.

After losing to the Memphis Grizzlies, the next game against the Oklahoma City Thunder was also watched by many people. Although the league did not arrange a national live broadcast for this game, it put the Lakers and Celtics game in the same period on the national live broadcast, but this will not stop people from paying attention to this game.

The Thunder came with a revenge mentality. On the evening of January 19, the game kicked off with the attention of many people.

The Thunder attacked the Cavaliers' inside line as soon as they got a lot of mobile phones. Sergi Ibaka, who was not very popular in the past, had a faint momentum of becoming the core of the attack in this game. Obviously, the Oklahomans learned from the advantages of the Memphis Grizzlies in the game against the Cavaliers. However, although Sergi Ibaka was extremely talented, he was not Mark Gasol and Zach Randolph, and he did not have such excellent attack methods.

However, Ibaka still improved his scores in this game with some back-to-back jump shots, which also exceeded his average score this season.

However, the Cavaliers are not soft persimmons and can be kneaded at will. Although they were defeated by the Memphis in the last game, they are still the team that ranks first in the league record.

The two sides started fighting in the game. The Cavaliers were in good condition tonight, but the Thunders were trying their best. The Cavaliers could not hold the Thunders tightly under them like the last time they fought.

Not only Serge Ibaka scored frequently in the inside, but the performance of the organizational defender Russell Westbrook, who had been unsatisfactory in the previous match against the Cavaliers, was also extremely good.

While scoring several strong breakthroughs, the Cavaliers also fouled. And this time, the Thunder became smart. Whenever Westbrook attacked with the ball, Kevin Durant would always ambush the weak side of the ball, and take Wu Dawei to the other end as much as possible to reduce Westbrook's concerns when he broke through.

I think Westbrook was also scared by Wu Dawei.

The two sides played particularly fiercely in this game. The Thunder naturally hoped to win this game. They didn't want to be put on the hat that they wouldn't win if they touched Wu Dawei. As a new-age small forward who is as outstanding as Wu Dawei, Kevin Durant naturally did not want to be under Wu Dawei.

The Cavaliers suffered such great deer power after losing a game, which is also a special desire for this game.

This game, which both sides attached great importance to, eventually entered the overtime game. In the overtime game, the Cavaliers finally lost the game, ushering in their first consecutive defeat in the new season!

This is definitely a huge blow to the Cavaliers! At least for Cleveland fans, it is indeed the case. Before that, the Cavaliers' ten consecutive victories made Cleveland fans feel like they were living in fairy tales, making them feel particularly wonderful.

But in a blink of an eye, two consecutive losses suddenly came... Such a contrast is naturally a bit unacceptable.

But what is even more unacceptable is obviously not the reality of losing two consecutive games, but the public opinion shot at Cleveland like a huge wave after losing two consecutive games!

Almost in a flash, the Cleveland Cavaliers changed from the treasure in everyone's palm when they were in full swing to the target of countless people ridicule. Although the Cavaliers are still ranked first in the league with a record of 10 wins and 2 losses, people now believe that the Cavaliers will not stay in such a position for too long!

Because they are about to welcome their next opponent after the game against the Thunder, from the Miami Heat in Florida! LeBron James's team is currently with a record of 10 wins and 2 losses, closely behind the Cavaliers!

In the eyes of many people, this is called "a miserable night" and the Cavaliers are currently in a situation of two consecutive losses, which is to usher in a team with four consecutive victories!

After a fantastic start, the Clevelanders ushered in a devilish schedule!
