342. Stress
The Cavaliers once again rely on the opportunities created by Wu Dawei after he came on the court and began to constantly gain a leading advantage on the court. For them, this is a rhythm and form that they are very accustomed to.
For their opponent, the Oklahoma City Thunder, although they have experienced it many times, every experience will always make them feel very depressed.
James Harden once again encountered Wu Dawei's interception. Similarly, this would be a heavy blow to him. In the last game, he also played in a good state, and even the second before he was about to go wild, Wu Dawei ruthlessly stifled his state into the cradle!
This made James Harden very depressed. His eyes were filled with helplessness and confusion when he looked at Wu Dawei. Of course, there was still a lot of disgust. Faced with a person who repeatedly and repeatedly, he was about to explode and gave him the most serious blow to him, it was difficult for James Harden to have any favorable feeling for him...
Although the second quarter had a good start for the Oklahoma City Thunder, the bad thing was that they soon came to a low point. Wu Dawei's appearance immediately caused the Oklahoma City Thunder to fall into a low point, and the score was once again opened, so the situation naturally became clear for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Although a 7-point lead is not enough to make them rest assured in this game tonight, at least it can be done to ensure their safety for the time being.
Because the Oklahoma City Thunder coach Brooks immediately requested a timeout, the second quarter game was just beginning not long before the Oklahoma City Thunder fell into a passive situation.
The scene that originally only existed in Brooks' mind suddenly appeared in front of him. Moreover, he thought that his adjustment could solve such a hidden danger, but he forgot that Wu Dawei's assisted defense was also top-notch.
Although Wu Dawei's performance tonight is still not the best among the Cavaliers, there is no doubt that he has become the player that Oklahoma City Thunder head coach Brooks feels most afraid of.
Even though he still only got 8 points, his contribution in other aspects has never stopped. And compared to the current situation, Brooks hopes that Wu Dawei can get a little more scores and get less other data.
Because at least in this way, Wu Dawei will find it difficult to achieve the five-double achievement. Although he is still very far away from the five-double data, he will have immediate worries without long-term considerations. It is better to kill the possibility in the cradle than to wait until he really faces it!?
Brooks asked for a short 20-second pause, he just wanted to relax the players and not be overwhelmed by the aggressive momentum of the Cleveland Cavaliers on the court.
As this game progresses slowly, the Oklahoma City Thunder players feel more and more Alexander. Especially when they are unable to take the lead in the game and are always in a behind situation, this invisible pressure becomes stronger and stronger!
There is no doubt that this game was an extremely difficult game for the entire Oklahoma City Thunder; it was a bit like the Cleveland Cavaliers in the second game, but the only difference was that the Cleveland Cavaliers withstood the pressure in the second game, while the Oklahoma City Thunder seemed unable to complete such a task in this game.
Although the gap between them lagging behind is not very large, the team's morale is declining steadily. Obviously, Wu Dawei's deterrence in this game will be far greater than his performance on the court.
Although the five-double data has become the last game, it will still affect the Oklahoma City Thunder players in this game tonight.
At least psychologically, the impact on them will not be reduced.
"The Thunder requested a timeout, and it can be seen that the Cavaliers head coach Byron Scott's adjustment before this was very correct. Once Wu Dawei returned to the court, the Oklahoma game became very difficult."
Taking advantage of the break of the game, Charles Barkley began to comment on the previous game in a hurry. Wu Dawei was of course the first player he wanted to praise. Because the relationship between the two people is not just as simple as being familiar with each other. Barkley once advised Wu Dawei. Of course, the better Wu Dawei performed, as a master in a sense, Charles Barkley would feel light on his face!
"In this season, I think Cleveland fans are already very familiar with and used to this situation. Because Wu Dawei can rely on his advantages in all aspects on the court to help the Cleveland Cavaliers make the game much easier!"
"It's true. If the Cavaliers didn't have Wu Dawei, they wouldn't have risen quickly after losing LeBron James so quickly!" Kenny Smith rarely didn't sing a opposite tune with Charles Barkley. He and his partner were quite consistent with his views on Wu Dawei.
Because Wu Dawei has conquered too many people with his countless practical actions!
"So. This is like what we said before. This league is about to usher in the era of Wu Dawei! Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan is getting old, and LeBron and James are unable to compete! This will be a basketball era under Wu Dawei's rule!"
Barkley nodded, and by the way he did not forget to laugh at the Oklahoma City Thunder who had been so proud of it. "It seems that the ridiculous Oklahomans don't realize this yet!"
Of course, the Oklahoma City Thunder will not think about these messy statements. Although their situation is extremely bad now, they will not forget the pre-match declaration to win the game in this game. Although judging from the current situation, it will be very difficult for the Oklahoma City Thunder to achieve such a goal, but no matter how difficult it is, they still have to try hard.
The 20-second short pause requested by head coach Brooks gave these young players some chance to breathe. Although they returned to the court with great enthusiasm with the inspiration of the head coach, when they needed to face Wu Dawei again, the shadows in the hearts of these young people made them a little shaken.
The game started again after 20 seconds, and the chance to breathe allowed the Oklahoma City Thunder to complete the scoring first after the game started again. Sergii Baka, the inside, squeezed into the inside, and a hit-in-the-frame helped the Oklahoma City Thunder narrow the gap to 5 points.
However, the Oklahoma City Thunder cannot continue their scoring momentum. Although the scattered scores occasionally allow them to see the hope of catching up with the score, most of the time they can only helplessly watch the Cleveland Cavaliers, as their opponent, open the gap again and again.
Such a game cannot allow the Oklahoma City Thunder to win away games, and relying on such an offensive, they cannot overtake in the second quarter. The Cleveland Cavaliers defended their advantage in the first half with Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard in charge and performed well.
Although the 6-point gap is not big at the end of the half, it is tantamount to the players of the Oklahoma City Thunder who are playing away.
"In the playoffs this season, if the Cleveland Cavaliers gained a lead at the end of the first half, their winning rate is 100%. That is to say, although it seems that the Oklahoma City Thunder still has some opportunities in the second half, we all know that the Cavaliers' third quarter is unstoppable! In other words, the Oklahoma City Thunder must be prepared to face the failure of a game during the break!"
Charles Barkley looked at the data he got and analyzed the situation in the second half. There is no doubt that the data he had is definitely harmful and unfavorable for the Oklahoma City Thunder who played away!
Although the Oklahoma City Thunder will still place their hopes in the second half of the game, everyone knows that data will not deceive people. Although data is dead and the future is unpredictable, the past data can still fully illustrate some problems.
That is, the hope of the Oklahoma City Thunder winning this game is becoming extremely slim step by step!
Although it is only a 6-point gap and there is still one half-game to fight, for the Oklahoma City Thunder who plays away, they are under great physical and psychological pressure!
At the end of the first half, Wu Dawei only scored 12 points, but he had 6 rebounds and 5 assists. At the same time, he still contributed 2 blocks and 2 steals to the Cavaliers on the defensive end.
Although these data are still hugely different from his previous game, when Kevin Durant and Russelvesbruck looked up and their eyes couldn't help but think of the nightmare scene in the last game!
The game is indeed not over yet, but the situation seems to be irreversible and has turned back to the Cleveland Cavaliers who have returned to their home court! (To be continued.
