323. Fantasy is always good
Just like the process and results of the first game of the finals, everyone was surprised; the start of the second game was completely different from what people thought and predicted before the game.
Although the Cleveland Cavaliers did not gain an advantage in the first minute of the game, they made a wonderful counterattack in the subsequent games, taking the rhythm of the game into their own hands in one fell swoop.
The Oklahoma City Thunder, who played at home, would definitely not have thought that things would turn out like this. At least when they were waiting for the game to come with confidence, they never thought that the Cleveland Cavaliers, who were basically beaten to no avail in the first game, would have such a big rebound in the second game.
Soon, the Cleveland Cavaliers led the Oklahoma City Thunder 15:9 away. Although the lead score was not much, the pace of the game was firmly controlled by them, which made the Cleveland Cavaliers feel comfortable playing in the game.
Control the rhythm of the game and let the game play in the way you have been used to recently, so you will naturally be easy and comfortable to play.
This is a situation that the Cleveland Cavaliers can accept, but it is definitely not something that the Oklahomans can accept. After all, before the start of this game, they had made a big fuss and admitted that they would definitely win this game. How could they accept that they were at a disadvantage?
Isn’t this equivalent to slapping oneself in the face?? Such a stupid thing, it is absolutely impossible for the Oklahoman to do when he is proud of it!
After all, they want to make the Cleveland Cavaliers 0:2 man after this game, and let go of all the big talk, how could they be willing to accept other match results?
And for them, the first two home games in the finals are of course crucial. Being able to win all three away games will become very beneficial for them to face next.
After all, if they just took a big score of 1:1 to Cleveland, their situation would become very bad in the next three away games. So no matter what, the Oklahomans have to win the game with all their might.
In this way, both sides must fight to the death. After all, there will be only one victory in a game in the end. If the Cavaliers win, then the Oklahoma City Thunder will have to face them with a 1:1 draw and go to Cleveland.
Everyone knows that the fast loan center's record this season is extremely outstanding, and he only lost one game in the playoffs, which can be said to be one of the most difficult home games in the league.
It is really a very difficult thing to get out of here.
Fortunately, although the Oklahoma City Thunder fell into a passive situation in this game and the rhythm was controlled by the Clevelanders, the only advantage was that they were not directly defeated by the Clevelanders.
The Cleveland Cavaliers did lead this game, but the lead advantage is not very big. The 6-point gap will still make this game full of suspense, after all, the difference is not big.
This is also what the Oklahomans expect for this game. Although they were a little behind, they always clinged to the score, and the game had just started for more than half a quarter.
They still have a lot of opportunities to reverse the current form and are very confident in it. Although the performance of the Cleveland Cavaliers in this game tonight has indeed shocked them, it is nothing more than that.
The Oklahomas just didn't expect the Cleveland Cavaliers to play so well, so they firmly believed that they had just not adjusted and they would soon be able to play in the same state as they did in the first game. At that time, they would definitely end the game with great destruction.
This is undoubtedly a matter of no doubt.
Such fantasies are based on the confidence that Oklahomans have generated after winning the first game, but such thoughts will not happen in the eyes of the commentator Charles Barkley tonight.
"There is no doubt that the Cleveland Cavaliers have completely controlled the game at present. They did much better than the last game, which is what they deserve to praise! Compared to the last game, the Oklahoma City Thunder performed differently. They did not play as crazy as the last game, and it seems that they were completely suppressed!"
"So Charles, do you think the Oklahoma City Thunder is in danger tonight?"
As Barkley's partner, Kenny Smith always has different opinions from him. Now, on the finals stage, the whole country and even the world are watching the game, so he naturally has to show off and show his face in front of the camera.
"That's not necessarily the case. After all, the Oklahomas gave us too many surprises in the last game, and now the game has just begun but not long ago. I think if this situation is maintained until the end of the half, then I will definitely give you the most affirmative answer!"
Barkley shook his head and said, but he did not get into the trap set by Smith. After all, he has entered the finals now. As a person who has never won the championship, Charles Barkley still knows it carefully. He doesn't want to be ridiculed by others and says that he has never won the championship but comes to the finals to talk nonsense.
However, the situation of the Cleveland Cavaliers after halfway through the first quarter made Barkley feel very happy, which made him feel that the Cavaliers won a lot of victory tonight. Think about the situation in the past when the Cavaliers won from the beginning to the end, didn’t it just take the lead from the beginning of the game and then kept this advantage until the end?
This is the game rhythm that the Cleveland Cavaliers are most accustomed to, and this game has already had such momentum tonight. As long as they can continue to maintain, they seem to be able to win this game.
The advantages established in the first quarter are crucial for the Cleveland Cavaliers. First, they lost to their opponents in the last game and urgently needed some advantages to regain their confidence; second, they needed to regain the feeling of leading. There is no doubt that the lead at this time can greatly help the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The third point is that the Cavaliers continue to lead the way, which will make their opponents tonight's Oklahoma City Thunder more impatient. Because the bold words they put down before the game began, coupled with the smooth flowing last game, the Oklahoma City Thunder suddenly couldn't accept such a situation.
The behind-the-scenes Oklahoma City Thunder became impatient, which gave the Cleveland Cavaliers a chance in this game. They were able to make good use of the Oklahoma's impatience and then create a series of opportunities to complete the counterattack.
Although Oklahoma City Thunder coach Brooks quickly requested a timeout to try to adjust and restore the team's form, the change in mentality is not so easy to change back.
After the Cavaliers had the advantage in the first quarter, they did not quickly abandon such an advantage as the Oklahoma people expected, or they were overtaken by the Oklahoma Thunder.
The Cavaliers' lead continued until the end of the first quarter. When Wu Dawei was replaced by coach Byron Scott with more than two minutes left in the first quarter, the Cavaliers were still leading the Oklahoma City Thunder by as much as 8 points. Although the lead advantage became 5 points after the first quarter, the Oklahoma still narrowed, the Oklahoma people could only follow the Cleveland Cavaliers with a slight eye.
No matter how many points you are behind, this situation is something the Oklahoman did not expect before the start of the game, and it would not make them feel satisfied. Because in their opinion, if the Oklahoma City Thunder cannot win this game, it will definitely not be accepted.
So the Oklahomas who were not satisfied in the first quarter could only expect in the second quarter. The Oklahomas liked not only Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant, but also like the bearded man in the team who stood up from the bench every night to help the team.
James Harden is the only hope for the Oklahoma people now. When the second quarter began, the starters of both sides were already sitting on the bench and started to rest, while James Harden made a brilliant debut at this time.
He scored 21 points in the last game, and what Oklahoma City Thunder fans hope now is that he can continue to have the same outstanding performance as in the last game!
The two minutes of rest between the festival are absolutely incredibly tormenting for the Oklahoma City Thunder fans who are behind. Just think of their sure-fire appearance before the game begins, the difference between the two teams on the court at this moment will make them feel ashamed.
This feeling is very uncomfortable! So at this moment, the Oklahoman can only hope that the game will start soon, and then James Harden will have an extremely surprising performance, and then the Thunder regained the lead!
