The first quarter of this game tonight is a drawback for the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Oklahoma City Thunder. However, obviously, the actual situation facing both sides is that the Oklahoma City Thunder will definitely be more severe than the Cleveland Cavaliers who play at home.

For the fans of the Cleveland Cavaliers, what they regret is that Wu Dawei did not show as terrifying as in the last game tonight; and the difficulty the Oklahoma City Thunder faces is that they are in a huge lag behind in the score.

At this time of the second quarter, the Oklahoma City Thunder was hopeful. They hoped to take advantage of the absence of Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard, who performed well in this game, to quickly catch up and narrow or completely equalize the gap between the 8 points behind.

Of course, James Harden is the main offensive point for the Oklahoma City Thunder at this time. At this time, the head coach of the Oklahoma City Thunder completely put all his hopes on him.

When the second quarter game was paused for two minutes during the break, it officially kicked off. James Harden led the Thunder's substitutes back to the court, and on the other side, the substitutes led by Kyrie Irving and Antoine Jamison also returned to the court.

The second quarter started again, and the score was still 18:26. The 8-point gap gave James Harden a long way to go after he played the game at this time.

Although he had already scored 2 points at the end of the first quarter, there was still a little gap compared to his state when he first appeared in the last game.

The Oklahoma City Thunder's hopes are all on him at this time, while the Cleveland Cavaliers fans are paying more attention to the two new players in their team at this time. As the winner of the best rookie this season, Kyrie Irving, who has almost never won a starting opportunity this season, is already very difficult for a rookie to win such an award that is equivalent to an MVP for a rookie.

Irving averaged nearly 15 points and 6 assists per game in the regular season, and was able to beat the Charlotte Bobcats' Kemba Walker. It was really a bit thrilling. Walker is not only a starter for the Bobcats, but also has a trend of becoming the core, and has also scored nearly 20 points in data.

It was really lucky that Irving could beat him, but although Kyrie Irving was not as good as Kemba Walker in average points, his scoring efficiency was much higher than Walker.

This should have been Kyrie Irving's strength, but after entering the playoffs, Irving's efficiency has plummeted, and all the data have also shrunk compared to the regular season. Everyone knows that this is because of his state in the playoffs. It is really bad compared to before.

In the first three rounds, Kyrie Irving only occasionally shone, but never had a stable performance. This is something that made Cleveland fans feel anxious. After all, with Irving's talent, people still hope that he can shoulder the important task of helping Wu Dawei establish a basketball dynasty next to Wu Dawei.

A team that wants to establish a dynasty not only needs a superstar with great strength. Outstanding configuration is also a key factor. Kyrie Irving has the conditions to become such a configuration, so naturally people's expectations for him will make everyone feel disappointed with his current mediocre performance.

In addition to Kyrie Irving, another young defender in the team, Danny Green, also disappointed many Cleveland fans. Green was an outside shooter who rose to the second half of this season, and even had several amazing three-point performances in the second half of the season. This was also at that time, which solved the urgent needs of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

So at that time, people also had high hopes for this young shooting guard who entered the league in the same draft as Wu Dawei but was always frustrated. He hoped that he could become a puzzle for the team.

After discovering Wu Dawei's sacrificial beads from the inside, Cleveland fans naturally began to slowly become keen on discovering potential newcomers from the team. The process of slowly watching a player grow from an ordinary player to a superstar is really an extremely wonderful process.

It's like watching a child who is growing up, and he has a different sense of accomplishment wandering around in his heart.

After a stunning rise, Danny Green, like Kyrie Irving, had his previous outstanding performance gone forever after the team entered the playoffs.

Cleveland fans of course hope that they can recover as soon as possible and give the team more help; although the Cavaliers can still gain an advantage on the finals stage without making much contributions from these two young defenders, but people know that this is not a long-term solution.

You can't ask Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard to play for a terrifying 44 minutes, which can easily cause them to be injured and shorten their athletic lifespan; and secondly, it can easily make them tired and unable to perform at a high level.

So no matter which aspect is left, the fans of course hope that these two young defenders can recover as soon as possible. However, it was obvious that they did not perform too well tonight. After the start of the second quarter, neither Kyrie Irving, as a shooting guard or Danny Green, a small forward, had any performance that made people feel bright. On the contrary, James Harden of the Oklahoma City Thunder repeatedly scored points on the offensive end after the start of the second quarter.

Such a situation would make Cavaliers head coach Byron Scott sitting on the sidelines unable to sit still. Seeing James Harden's performance in the second quarter, Scott had almost no hesitation. After he looked up at the large ceiling screen above the stadium, he called Wu Dawei to his side.

Harden scored 6 points in a row after the start of the second quarter! This was an amazing performance, because with Harden's outstanding performance in the rotation period, the Oklahoma City Thunder quickly grabbed the score to 27:30, and the Cleveland Cavaliers' original lead of 8 points suddenly turned into a precarious 3 points.

"James Harden's performance is amazing!" Kenny Smith, who was sitting on the sidelines, couldn't help but cheer for the young defender: "His performance is even better than Kevin Durant and Russelvesbruck. Although he does not have any advantage in comparison with the two big guys in the team, there is no doubt that Harden has his own uniqueness! His breakthrough is too outstanding. The Cleveland Cavaliers are completely unable to defend his breakthrough!"

Just as Kenny Smith was constantly praising James Harden's performance at this moment tonight, Charles Barkley, who was sitting next to him, listened for a while and continued: "Yes! James Harden's performance so far is indeed very outstanding, but I think his good luck is gone!"

"Why do you say that?" Ernie Johnson, who sat on the other side of Charles Barkley, asked a question. Barkley shrugged and said, "Do you remember how outstanding James Harden performed when he first came on the court in the last game?"

"Of course I remember!" Kenny Smith said, but he didn't understand what this had to do with this game tonight. Barkley pointed to the court and explained: "When Wu Dawei came on the court, all his outstanding performances disappeared in the next second!"

Everyone looked in the direction Barkley pointed, and on the side of the court, Wu Dawei was ready to play at any time. There is no doubt that this was the strategy used by Byron Scott to stop James Harden in the last game. When facing Wu Dawei's defense, Wu Dawei seemed to have a clear understanding of all his defensive abilities, making James Harden difficult on the offensive end!

This is not only clearly known to Charles Barkley, but also Brooks, the head coach of the Oklahoma City Thunder, also remembers it freshly. So almost the moment he saw Wu Dawei walking onto the court, Brooks hurriedly called Kevin Durant to his side and told him to return to the basketball court quickly.

Both sides completed the substitution almost at the same time. Wu Dawei returned to the court to replace Danny Green, who had no performance after playing, and Kevin Durant also returned to the court.

The game continued, and the ball was in the hands of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Ramon Sessions dribbled the ball through the half and handed it over to Kyrie Irving. Irving faced Harden's defense, relied on Wu Dawei's pick-and-roll and then broke through.

The Cavaliers rewritten the score to 27:32, and the gap to 5 points. And then, it is naturally the Oklahoma City Thunder’s turn to attack.

To be honest, when James Harden was in the frontcourt, he still felt a little nervous and anxious, although he had already scored 8 points before. However, the situation of the team's backwardness did not change much. As time goes by, the main players of the Cavaliers will soon return to the court, and it will be even more difficult to catch up points at that time.

The young Gao Chao who was unable to play on the offensive end was the source of James Harden's mood at this time. After coming to the offensive end, facing Kyrie Irving, who had previously broken through his defense, James Harden also made a pick-and-roll with Kevin Durant at a high position.

He originally tried to rely on his teammates' pick-and-roll and then complete the score. But when James Harden and Kevin Durant completed the pick-and-roll, a figure suddenly jumped out in front of him!

Wu Dawei appeared in front of Harden with agility, and he almost didn't give him much reaction time. Harden just felt his palm empty and looked down and the ball was gone!

"Wow!"

Charles Barkley, who was sitting on the sidelines, immediately howled because he seemed to be almost exactly the same as in the previous game!

When James Harden got his eighth point in the game, Wu Dawei came on the court, and once he got the ball from Harden's defense for the first time!

This seems to be a sign of something!

"Beautiful interception!" Barkley waved his fists fiercely, exactly the same as the atmosphere at the Speed ​​Loan Center. He shouted: "It's Wu Dawei again! Although his condition was not as good as the previous game tonight, there is no doubt that he still has the ability to change any game! He is almost the nemesis of James Harden! This is a perfect interception!"

This was indeed an excellent interception, because Wu Dawei not only completed the interception, but also sounded the horn of the Cleveland Cavaliers' counterattack at the first time!

After he intercepted the ball at the three-point line, he took a step and ran towards the frontcourt. Although Kevin Durant gritted his teeth and chased him back, Wu Dawei was not afraid. Facing the basket, he made a real pass with a fake shot, and Kevin Durant jumped three feet high like a toad leg!

Kyrie Irving, who came from behind, scored with a one-handed slam, and almost dunked the Oklahoma City Thunder superstar.

After Wu Dawei came on the court, Kyrie Irving scored 4 points in a row!

The score became 27:34, and the score difference returned to 7 points. There is no doubt that this made the Oklahoman who had just ignited some hope and felt extremely depressed. The Thunder players sitting on the sidelines were frowning. And compared to the previous game, the situation they faced tonight was undoubtedly worse!

Because they were on the road, when they were behind and Wu Dawei intercepted the ball and completed the counterattack, there was not a silent sound in the stadium, but a huge cheer sounded!

The hysterical shouts of Clevelanders naturally made the Oklahoma City Thunder players feel a lot of pressure!

It seems that after Wu Dawei got the amazing five-double data in the second game, the atmosphere of the entire finals has been completely changed! At this point, it reminds some people of the Eastern Conference finals that ended not long ago.

Although the levels of these two series are completely different, the process seems to have gradually begun to have a very similar place! (To be continued.
