In this game on the night of the 11th, the attention it received was no less than the first game. Of course, there were still differences between the two games. That is, the Oklahoma City Thunder's confidence in this game has improved a lot compared to the previous game.

They are equally energetic compared to the previous game, but with the confidence tonight, they are much higher than the previous game.

The Thunder's starting lineup in this game tonight was exactly the same as in the last game, with two inside players Kendrick Perkins and Serge Ibaka, the small forward is Kevin Durant, the two defenders are Swiss handsome Sefrosa, and the organizational defender is Russell Westbrook; and the Cleveland Cavaliers, as the visiting team, still continues the lineup they have always used in this season's playoffs.

In fact, the two teams are very similar in lineup distribution. The core players are small forwards of their respective teams and have an excellent point guard. Of course, Chauncey Billups is not able to compare with Russell Westbrook in terms of personal abilities; while in the shooting guard, they are all placed as a defender who is stronger than attack. In terms of the inside, there is no doubt that the Cleveland Cavaliers are stronger. Although Serge Ibaka plays better and better, Dwight Howard is an absolute All-Star player.

Kendrick Perkins' performance after leaving the Celtics was worse than that of a day. His shortcomings were as if they were magnified by a magnifying glass under the lack of a special tactical system. Everyone could see that Kendrick Perkins, a center forward, was just a slow-moving big meat shield.

He is indeed intimidating when standing inside, but his role in the Oklahoma City Thunder is only the only one.

So even now, Perkins is still a concern for many people who support the Oklahoma City Thunder. Everyone is afraid that Perkins will become a loophole for the Thunder and a loophole that will continue to drag down the Oklahoma City Thunder.

In the Western Conference Finals, Perkins performed poor performances repeatedly under the performances of the Clippers' two-star inside stars Blake Griffin and DeAndrew Jordan. Although in the first game of the finals, Perkins performed quite well, without too bad defense and not very outstanding. But who would know whether Perkins would become the sixth man of the Cavaliers in the second game...

This is what the Oklahoma City Thunder may be most worried about before the game begins, but they don't have any good ways to solve it. Because Kendrick Perkins is already the only center player in the Oklahoma City Thunder.

In addition, with Dwight Howard, a big killer in the Cleveland Cavaliers, Kendrick Perkins is the only one who shoulders the heavy responsibility to defend Dwight Howard.

So it is impossible for them to take Perkins from the team's starting lineup and replace it with another inside player that can reassure them. Because except for Kendrick Perkins, there is almost no second person to defend Dwight Howard.

So although Perkins' performance on the basketball court may become a hidden danger, an x-factor. The Thunder must also let him play. Otherwise, no one in the inside will be able to compete with Dwight Howard.

Moreover, their original intention of getting Kendrick Perkins from the Boston Celtics was to defend a big insider like Dwight Howard.

This makes it even more impossible for them to replace Perkins with the court. Although they will feel worried about it, they must also bite the bullet and go on. Fortunately, the victory of the first game has weakened the Oklahoman's concerns a lot.

Because in the first game, the Oklahoman saw all the process of the team winning the game. Even if Dwight Howard performed well and even Wu Dawei's performance was not bad, the Oklahoma City Thunder also won the game.

So the Oklahoma people think that they may not need to be so worried, because they also have good strength, and judging from the first game, their strength is actually not inferior to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Even the Cleveland Cavaliers have two so-called top five stars in the league, Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard, the Oklahoma City Thunder also has Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, James Harden and even Serge Ibaka...

This is also one of the reasons why the Oklahomans' confidence in the team increased significantly in the second game. Judging from the situation in the first game, they believe that the team they support will not be as big as before the start of the finals. The outside world rumored that the gap is huge.

Experience? The Oklahoma City Thunder proved with their performance in the first game that even if they have no experience, they can still win the finals. And more importantly, they are now the complete leader. As long as they win another game in this home game tonight, the Oklahoma City Thunder can be said to have an absolute advantage in this round of finals!

After this game, I got a total score of 2:0. It was the Oklahoma City Thunder's goal in this game. Now, in their eyes, the Cleveland Cavaliers are no longer as terrifying as before. For the Thunder players, in their opinion, the reason why the Cleveland Cavaliers killed gods and Buddhas in the previous game was because they did not meet themselves.

And by looking at the Cavaliers' performance in the Eastern Conference semi-finals, you can see that they are not very strong. They played a full six games with a Black Seven team before they finally decided on the winner. How strong can they be!?

There is no doubt that the victory of the first game made the Oklahoma City Thunder players more confident in the finals, but also gave rise to some complacency.

When the starters of both sides walked onto the basketball court one after another, the young people from the Oklahoma City Thunder looked at the Cavaliers players, as if they were different.

But this is understandable. After all, the pressure on the Oklahoma City Thunder was so great before this. Of course, these young people couldn't wait to find opportunities to perform, and the victory in the first game allowed them to raise their heads and make those who once said they couldn't do it.

However, Wu Dawei did not like Kevin. Durant looked at his eyes at this time, not only was he unfriendly, but he always made Wu Dawei feel very uncomfortable. Perhaps it was because of the previous reports and the battle of words that Kevin Durant was more hostile to Wu Dawei. In addition to the victory in the first game, his unscrupulous gaze became more bold.

This made Wu Dawei feel even more unhappy, so he would respond to Kevin Durant without hesitation. Although people are saying that the Oklahoma City Thunder is a young team, someone can forget that as the core player of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Wu Dawei is also a young player, and he is even younger than Kevin Durant.

The reason why no one said that he lacked experience is that he led the team to the finals last season. But overall, Wu Dawei is also very young. Although he is very calm and calm most of the time, if he encounters provocation from his opponent, he will definitely fight back without hesitation!

The game has not even started yet, but the competition on the court has begun. Wu Dawei and Kevin Durant are also the core No. 3 players of the team. When the game started jumping, they stood shoulder to shoulder on both sides of the center line.

"I will defeat you like in the last game! I won't give you a chance!" When the two of them stood in the position, Kevin Durant turned around like a greeting and said to Wu Dawei, but the smell of provocation was full of provocation.

As mentioned before, this game has not even officially started, but the smell of gunpowder is already strong enough!

Dwight Howard and Sergi Ibaka are already standing in the middle circle. Both of them are ready to jump to win the opening ball, and the battle is about to break out!

For the Cleveland Cavaliers, they are bound to win this game; and the Oklahoma City Thunder, who plays at home, is filled with such an idea in their minds.

There is no doubt that this will be an extremely fierce game. When the referee walked onto the court with the ball in his arms, he stood in the middle circle, and then blew the whistle in his mouth, the ball was thrown to the basket by him in an instant!

Two huge figures jumped into the sky at the first time. Although Dwight Howard has been able to win the opening game for the team in almost every game in the past series, it is obvious that he lost to the energetic Sergi Ibaka tonight.

The Oklahoma City Thunder jumped to the ball at the opening, which excited the Ford Center, and in the eyes of Oklahoma fans, this cliff would bode well because they could build a lead with the opening kickoff of this jump!
