239. Playoff situation
ps: Today's two updates are ten thousand words~~
21 points became the last suspense of this game. The Oklahomas, who were full of confidence before the game, definitely did not expect that they would lose so thoroughly in this game in just three quarters. レ♠レ
From the beginning of the game, they did not take the initiative until they were 21 points behind. The Cleveland Cavaliers, who were ignored by them before the game, did not give them any chance in the game, and the last quarter turned into garbage time.
Wu Dawei scored 22 points in three quarters and became the best player in this game. Kevin Durant, who faced him, only scored 12 points in the three quarters. In terms of his most proud score, Kevin Durant could not defeat Wu Dawei, let alone in other aspects.
Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook's high-profile actions before the game did not bring them good luck in the game. In the words of some fans, their arrogant behavior before the game lost all their character tonight's game.
The Cleveland Cavaliers had a hearty victory tonight, just like the second game they played against the Miami Heat this season, and in just three quarters of the game, they beat a strong team with a dynamic league presence.
However, the quick defeat in this game looks more like a worldly retribution for the arrogant performance of the Oklahomans. They have not taken the initiative since the first minute of the game, and even have no ability to reverse in the game. It looks like they are playing a hopeless game.
The booing and mockery of Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and others on the scene seemed to have been haunting the Oklahoma City Thunder players. As the game progressed and the scores became more and more wide, the emotions of the young people of the Thunder naturally became worse.
21 points are the watershed in this game, a blow to the confidence of the players in the complete defeat of the Oklahoma City Thunder players to win this game, and at the same time, they also began to make their emotions manic. 21 points are not the final score difference, and of course they will only get bigger and bigger.
After Wu Dawei used a defensive counterattack to complete the dunk and was 21 points behind, the emotions of the Oklahoma City Thunder began to change. What followed was naturally the friction between the two sides on the court. The Thunder's increasingly larger movements during defense naturally annoyed the Cleveland Cavaliers players. Although their current leading advantage made them happy, they were not the clay bodhisattva without temper. The opponent's big moves naturally made their anger slowly rise.
Although the situation is good now, the Cleveland Cavaliers also understand that losing a game that is sure to win in the preface will make the Thunder players unhappy. The Cavaliers players can understand their unhappiness in the face of the game that is about to lose, but this does not mean that the Cavaliers players will endure the opponent's irrational behavior for this.
The more intense the game movements made the gunpowder smell rise in the second half of the third quarter, and the conflicts in the body and verbal are rising.
Of course, Wu Dawei is the player who has suffered the most serious violation. Although Kevin Durant, who faces him, looks like a good mother, he knows people but not his heart.
In the third quarter, Kevin Durant's moves on both offensive and defensive ends gradually became bigger and bigger. This became the origin of the conflict. Wu Dawei was never a good deal, especially when he was bullied.
Naturally, conflicts and contradictions exploded from time to time on the court. This situation continued until Wu Dawei was replaced by coach Byron Scott in the third quarter and stopped slightly.
However, when Wu Dawei was replaced by head coach Byron Scott with veteran Rassu Butler, the suspense of the game was already very little left.
58:84, the score difference has been widened to 26 points, which is already a huge gap in basketball games, and should at least be equal to a score difference of 3:0 in football games. In short, it is the kind of game situation where people can tell that they have no hope of getting back to the game when they see it.
The third quarter was already opened by 26 points. The young coach of the Thunder team, Brooks, obviously knew that there was no hope of winning this game, but he did not immediately surrender. Instead, shortly after the start of the fourth quarter, he still sent three main players, Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and James Harden, to the stadium.
The reason is very simple. He knew that the young stars under his command were not willing to give up. Naturally, he had to act. But soon, garbage time was still in the fourth quarter.
Although Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and others were unwilling to accept this game, their condition tonight was indeed not outstanding. The 26-point difference was only willing to kill the enemy and was unable to make the situation come true. In just three or four minutes of playing in the fourth quarter, they were replaced by head coach Brooks.
In the second half of the fourth quarter, the visiting Oklahoma City Thunder announced their surrender. They explained that all the substitutes were sent to the stadium. At the same time, the Cavaliers coach Byron Scott, who saw this scene, was also the supporting players who could not play for tens of thousands of years in the team that started to continue the game.
The game ended with a 28-point gap of 8o:1o8. The Cavaliers slaughtered the arrogant and domineering Oklahoma team in their home loan center without any blood.
When the whistle at the end of the game sounded in the stadium, Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and others, who were confident in this game, walked directly to the player channel with black faces.
Amidst booing and ridicule, their embarrassing figures became a footnote to the Cavaliers' refreshing victory.
Wu Dawei, who scored 22 points in three quarters, was still the best player in this game. In addition to 22 points, Wu Dawei also contributed 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks.
Moreover, Wu Dawei's playing time in this game was only 31 minutes, which is the least playing time he has played in recent times, but this is also due to the plot that has no suspense from beginning to end.
Since the February trade, Wu Dawei's playing time has soared to about 40 minutes per game, which is also a concern for the Cavaliers' coaching staff and management. Although Wu Dawei is young and in good health, in the long run, it is indeed easy for players to feel tired after playing for more than 40 minutes per game.
And dragging your tired body to play games on the court and having fierce confrontation is the most vulnerable to injury.
So in recent times, Byron Scott is also deliberately trying to reduce Wu Dawei's playing time to ensure that he can compete for the team in a healthier state.
In comparison, the playoffs are really only one month away. The regular season of the Japanese season league will end on April 16. At that time, the teams qualified for the playoffs will have about one planet to rest, and the playoffs will officially kick off on April 23.
The most different thing about the playoffs and the regular season is that it is a series, and the schedule is relatively intensive. A game of two days is a bigger test for the players' physical fitness. Because there is no doubt that the playoffs will become a must-fight for every goal. At that time, as the core of the team, Wu Dawei's rest time can be expected to be so rare.
Although it seems too early to consider the playoffs with the Cleveland Cavaliers' current ranking. After all, they are still the eighth team in the East. The Philadelphia 76ers behind them are chasing closely. There is still some suspense to enter the playoffs, which is not a sure thing.
However, after defeating the visiting Oklahoma City Thunder, the Cavaliers' record has changed from 37 wins and 34 losses to 38 wins and 34 losses, maintaining a safer distance from the 76ers behind them.
The 76ers' current record is 36 wins and 36 losses. The difference between the two winning games may not be too big, but what we need to consider is that the league's regular season has only one month left. Both teams also have only one O regular season game left. In other words, the 76ers must catch up with the two sides within these 1O games. The current difference between the two winning games is a bit difficult.
So there is only a big good situation, which is why the Cavaliers are beginning to be qualified to fantasize about the playoffs for a month and prepare for it. Of course, as mentioned earlier, after the Cavaliers' performance soared this season, their goal is to not just be on the level of entering the playoffs. If they have the chance, they will naturally sprint to a higher level.
Moreover, the Cavaliers' lineup is not without such an opportunity. Chauncey Billups is experienced and has led the team to the division finals and above for seven consecutive years. In the first year of the Nuggets, he directly brought Cameron Anthony, who had previously been infinity in the first round of the game, into the Western Conference Finals.
Such a point guard has unparalleled strength and experience, and Chris Kaman, who is in good shape at present, is a big center of 2.16 cm, Kaman can still occupy a place in the inside of the East in such a state.
In the eyes of many people, how far the Cavaliers can go depends on what kind of opponents they can meet in the first round. Currently, the top four teams in the East are ranked by the Chicago Bulls, Miami Heat, Boston Celtics, and Orlando Magic. These four teams, the Cavaliers, have had a record of victory this season, and even defeated their opponents many times.
Among them, the Miami Heat have not won so far in the fight with the Cavaliers. Although there is still the last game left between the two sides this season, even if the Miami Heat wins that game, their regular season match against the Cavaliers was only 1:3, and they still lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Therefore, in the eyes of many people, if the Cavaliers can meet the Miami Heat in the first round of the playoffs, the winning chance will be quite large. In addition, the entanglement between Cleveland fans and the Miami Heat's current main player LeBron James and the past between Wu Dawei and Miami Heat will make such a series of matches full of attention.
Although there are many highlights to pay attention to in the NBA this season, what runs through the entire league season is undoubtedly the rise of Wu Dawei and the situation after LeBron James' transfer to Miami.
Such a situation also makes many people think it is extremely likely to be born in the playoffs. Although the Cavaliers are still half a win behind the New York Knicks, which is currently ranked seventh in the East, it is only a matter of just around the corner.
Although the competition between the New York Knicks and the Miami Heat will also make the NBA league eye-catching, what a beautiful topic of encounters with the Golden Generation. But undoubtedly, if the two hottest names in the league this season meet in the playoffs, the NBA league will definitely make a fortune!
The names of Wu Dawei and LeBron James are the two most searched basketball players on the famous video sharing website Tube this year!
The NBA League is a commercial and entertainment league, and this is beyond doubt. It is not the first time to manipulate the game, so it is not difficult to get two teams to meet in the playoff round.
Although if two teams encounter each other in the round, the Miami Heat are likely to be eliminated in the round based on their regular season performance. But the question is, this Cavaliers are a newly formed team after all, and the chances of their passing the round are obviously much smaller than the chances of being eliminated in the round.
David Stern has missed the finals of the No. 23 vs. 24 of the No. 23 vs. 24 of the finals. After all, it is still difficult to operate such a multi-argument series; but this year, the showdown between the old and new Cleveland Kings is extremely easy.
It just depends on whether Mr. David Stern can tolerate the cost of Miami Heat being eliminated.
Most people are still very optimistic. The two teams will encounter each other in the round.
After all, this is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime business opportunity. The old Jewish man is so smart that he can naturally figure out how many pairs of eyes will attract in the world such a duel!
However, such an idea is still unfulfilled at present, because after the Cavaliers defeated the visiting Oklahoma City Thunder, the New York Knicks also won the away game in a game that ended relatively late on the same night.
The Cavaliers' current record is 38 wins and 34 losses. The New York Knicks, which ranks seventh in the East, are still half a win-win lead by the Clevelanders with a record of 38 wins and 33 losses.
Obviously, the New Yorkers will not give up easily. However, the old saying is that the Cavaliers are still more promising to oppose the New Yorkers, not only because they are very likely to be taken care of by their league godfather David Stern, but also the Cavaliers have an advantage in the schedule.
Among the remaining 10 opponents, there are only three teams in the East and West that are currently qualified for the playoffs; while the New York Knicks have 6 teams in the East and West that are qualified for the playoffs in the East and West that are qualified for the playoffs!
As long as the Cavaliers have a good record and grasp the remaining 1O games in the next, most people think that the Cavaliers will have no problem ranking above the New York Knicks before the playoffs start.
After all, the Cavaliers do not necessarily have to cross the New York Knicks in terms of record. Their three matches with the New York Knicks are three games and three wins. Therefore, the Cavaliers only need to have a record of being on par with the New York Knicks, and they can successfully cross the New Yorkers and become the seventh seed in the East District.
This is one of the reasons why people are optimistic about the Cavaliers.
Of course, no one can draw a conclusion when the regular season is not over yet. All the speculations are based on the current situation. It is only based on the current situation that the Cavaliers must enter the playoffs based on the current importance the league values them and their own state.
If they suddenly lose form in the last ten games, then they are very likely to be kicked out of the last train of the playoffs at the last moment. After all, the Philadelphia 76ers, which ranks ninth in the East, are only two wins behind the Clevelanders. Such a gap is quite small, but it is not very far-reaching to say that it is big.
The Cavaliers naturally dare not relax their vigilance at this time. After all, the players worked hard with the coaches all season, just to become the playoffs after the end of the regular season and continue to fight and kill enemies on the court.
So, after defeating the visiting Oklahoma City Thunder, the Cavaliers did not get a break the next day. Head coach Scott did not give the players a holiday, but continued to train to welcome the next opponent that will be welcomed in the day.
The more you are on the verge of ending, people will become more nervous, because you can see it as an impending liberation or as there are not many opportunities left to you.
Of course, the Cavaliers' current ranking is not yet time to squander!
