362. Last chance
ps: Today I finally understand that our youth is retirement... in the Georgia Center Arena.
After the Cavaliers scored the goal and widened the gap to 3 points, they were also very clear about the importance of defense when they returned to the defensive end. The Oklahoma City Thunder was eager to catch up with the gap, and the Cleveland Cavaliers also wanted to further widen the points.
"Defend their breakthroughs well! Protect our paint zone! Defend good breakthroughs well! Guys!"
At this time, the team's head coach Byron Scott spared no effort to stand on the sidelines and shouted loudly at the Cleveland Cavaliers players on the court.
The game time is lost every minute and a little less every time you walk through. For the Cavaliers, every successful defense will make them have greater hope of winning.
When Westbrook dribbled the ball through halftime, although Billups, who was responsible for defending him, was unable to suppress his ball, the old guy tried his best not to let Westbrook pass him in one step.
In addition, the Thunder became more and more cautious at this time, so Westbrook did not blindly jump into the inside. After playing against the Cleveland Cavaliers so many times in the finals, Westbrook was of course very clear about how outstanding the inside strength of a team with Dwight Howard in the inside would be.
However, he did not choose to pass the ball to Kevin Durant. Although Wu Dawei's defensive data tonight was not too outstanding compared to his previous data, he was still very explosive. Kevin Durant suffered many defeats in Wu Dawei's hands, which was also a powerful shot tonight.
So Westbrook asked for a high pick-and-roll to Ibaka in the inside, and the publicity launched an attack from the wing. He bypassed Ibaka's body and threw away Billups a little, then jumped up at the middle distance and chose to shoot!
The moment the ball was thrown out by Westbrook, he felt bad because the ball bounced out of the basket! Dwight Howard showed his invincible dominance in the inside. After he got the rebound, he passed it directly to point guard Billups.
After Billups got the ball, he dribbled the ball towards the front court, and Wu Dawei echoed each other on the other side. After halftime, he was blocked by James Harden. While Billups stopped, the ball was also passed by him.
Wu Dawei got a pass from the other side. At the same time, he did not stop but continued to push forward. Wu Dawei rushed up with the ball, and it seemed like a heavy truck was running on the highway.
Kevin Durant's thin body was squeezed out by Wu Dawei in this game. Wu Dawei easily broke into the three-point line and launched an offensive in the paint area.
Because the Cavaliers' pace of turning defense into offense was very fast. When Wu Dawei broke through, the Oklahoman was not ready at all. In a hurry, Wu Dawei faced Sergi Ibaka's long arms without fear at all.
He jumped up toward Ibaka, and then the two big men collided in the sky in the paint area! Suddenly, sparks flew everywhere. It was because this was a complete collision of power!
Although Wu Dawei is a small forward and Sergi Ibaka plays as a power forward, Wu Dawei is no less than the latter in terms of strength. It can be said that this is a even-match battle.
Sergi Ibaka was taller, and Wu Dawei was obviously the stronger person. In the air, although Sergi Ibaka's long arms were indeed very frightening, Wu Dawei used his left hand to hold him and tried to block his hands. His strength advantage allowed Wu Dawei to easily separate Ibaka's hands. At the same time, Wu Dawei's right hand firmly grabbed the ball, and then, under Ibaka's helpless gaze, he roared the ball into the basket!
At this time, the basket metal rack sounded a heart-wrenching moan of pain. At the same time, the whistle sounded from the referee's mouth at the same time!
“Oh~~~”
Then there was a scream of squeak that raging throughout the Quick Loan Center!
Wu Dawei made a sudden dunk, and he faced the defensive champion Sergi Ibaka of the Oklahoma City Thunder. Wu Dawei's dunk did not give the Thunder's blocking king any face.
The big hat that was scattered made Ibaka look dirty at this time. The Cleveland fans who came to the scene tonight were worried all night, but at this moment, they finally got a touch of refreshing excitement!
Wu Dawei's dunk not only tied the score to 84:89, but the score difference was widened to as much as 5 points, and there were less than four minutes left in the game. And more importantly, in addition, Wu Dawei will also get an additional free throw opportunity!
The referee of the law enforcement game tonight believed that Sergi Ibaka had fouls in his previous defense. This gave Wu Dawei a 2+1 chance to play against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
This penalty at such a tense moment in the game will undoubtedly have a huge impact on this game tonight.
Sergi Ibaka, who was already extremely depressed because he was slapped by Wu Dawei, seemed even more depressed after seeing the referee's penalty!
He immediately ran towards the referee with his teeth and claws, and he tried to appeal: "How could I have a foul!? I didn't foul!"
"How could this be a foul!" Even the head coach of the Oklahoma City Thunder could not stand at this time, and hurriedly ran up to support Sergi Ibaka. He shouted at the referee: "It was Wu Dawei who wanted to make a foul. He held Sergi with his hand! You should go and watch the replay! You can't make a decision so hasty, guys!"
The Thunder seemed indignant for a moment, and it seemed so out of place in the atmosphere of the entire stadium at this time. However, although they were very dissatisfied with the penalty this time, Wu Dawei still walked onto the stadium amid the cheers of all the Cleveland Cavaliers fans!
Standing in front of the free throw line, Wu Dawei received the ball from the referee, then raised his arms and then pushed the ball towards the basket.
Swish!
The ball drilled into the basket again, but this time it seemed much lighter than the last time.
However, the score continued to be rewritten, becoming 84:90, and the score difference turned into 6 points in the blink of an eye!
"Oh~ Relying on Wu Dawei's brutal performance on the offensive end, the Cleveland Cavaliers suddenly made the situation of the game clear! With the last three minutes left in the game, the Cleveland Cavaliers turned the original three-point lead to more than 6 points at this time! The Oklahoma City Thunder encountered difficulties, and they were getting further and further away from the victory of this game! Coach Brooks requested a timeout, but I think he is so anxious that he can't think of a good way to deal with the situation at this time. Because the Cleveland Cavaliers seem to be fully in power!"
Charles Barkley, who was sitting on the sidelines, analyzed it with great confidence, which made the Cleveland fans sitting next to him feel so comfortable. However, at this moment, as the head coach of the Oklahoma City Thunder, Brooks was indeed feeling overwhelmed.
When Wu Dawei collided in the air, he still looked forward to it because Ibaka's block was always excellent; but when the referee blew the whistle, Brooks felt something was wrong, and what was even more inescapable was that he saw the ball dunked into the basket by Wu Dawei after the confrontation!
The score was widened too much at once, and the 6-point gap may even determine the next trend of the game. The pressure on the Oklahoma City Thunder suddenly became unparalleled, and their situation was indeed as bad as Charles Barkley said.
"Defense! Defense!"
When the players returned from the court, Brooks' first words when facing everyone were roaring at them and said, "Where is your defense?? I didn't see any defense. You can't fight like a foaler, that can't win the game for us! What I need to see is an indestructible defense, not a clumsy performance full of loopholes! Guys, time is gone, and if you don't cheer up again, the Clevelanders will steal our victory! Take out our defense and show our toughest side!"
At this time, when the Thunders were defeated, Brooks knew that no matter how many tactics were arranged, it would be useless. It would be better to inspire the players to fight with the fighting spirit.
Relying on Wu Dawei's successful 2+1 this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who played at home, are now motivated. If the Thunder still wants to win the game, they naturally need greater courage!
The more this time, the more they need to let go of their hands and feet before they can seize a glimmer of hope.
The Cavaliers have already led by 6 points. If they expand their advantage, then the game can really come to an end.
Brooks felt extremely nervous at this time. Standing on the sidelines, he had already started scratching his head. Even though the game had not started again, Brooks' uneasy heart was already violently shaken.
They need to win this game, and they can't just lose this game tonight! Brooks shouted in his heart that they worked hard for the whole game, and they must not lose all their efforts just because of Wu Dawei's attack!
Three minutes, 6 points! Although Brooks is not sure whether he can do it, this is the team's only chance! (To be continued.)
Chapter completed!
