NBA: The bad guy forward hugs and throws James!

Chapter 332: A huge win over the Thunder! Donovan is completely helpless!
Accompanied by the cheers of the Thunder fans at the scene, Westbrook didn't think too much. He quickly looked up at the position of the basket.

Direct pull-up jumper.

It must be said that Westbrook's shot was quite fast, but unfortunately, there was no way for Westbrook's shot to get past Wang Yan's defense.

This NBA player with the best individual ability, with his hands slashing, successfully completed the block with both hands! !
Neat.

There is no trace of sloppiness.

"Block!!"

"Wang Yan blocked Westbrook's shot from within the three-point line!"

“When Wang Yan stood in front of Westbrook, he was almost an insurmountable wall!”

"Now the ball is in the hands of the Cavaliers again!"

"The counterattack is coming!"

In the sports channel studio, Yu Jia was also very excited. In fact, in Yu Jia's opinion, the away team Cavaliers had completely controlled the tempo in tonight's game.

The balance of victory basically tipped towards the Cavaliers.

In fact, after three quarters of fierce battle, every Thunder player naturally knew Wang Yan's strength.

But at this point, the starting players of the Thunder, who were playing at home, did not give up the game.

Especially Westbrook!

Looking at tonight's game, among the Thunder's two young players, Kevin Durant's performance was not as impressive as Westbrook's.

Because the Cavaliers have Wang Yan in the interior, Durant did not get too many opportunities in the interior.

this time.

Westbrook is still the one who holds the ball and advances the game.

Just like the last matchup, when Westbrook rushed to the three-point line, Wang Yan suddenly rushed in front of him in one step.

However, after learning from the previous experience, Westbrook realized how terrifying Wang Yan's defensive ability is.

So, at this moment, Westbrook stopped shooting and quickly threw the basketball to Kevin Durant in the paint.

This is the right choice.

When Wang Yan moved to the outside, this naturally gave Kevin Durant an opportunity.

In the stands of Chesapeake Energy Arena, the cheers of tens of thousands of fans reached a climax in an instant.

They expect Durant to step up at crucial moments of the game.

but.

The Cavaliers players were also very focused.

Between the lightning and flint.

Mike Miller and Tristan Thompson also rushed to Durant.

It is undeniable that the Cavaliers' interior defense has reached its peak this time.

But it is still difficult to stop Durant's scoring pace.

The Thunder's star player took decisive action.

moment.

The basketball flew over the heads of the two Cavaliers' inside players and quickly into the basket.

Two point hit!!
At the critical moment, Kevin Durant stood up.

Although it was only two points, it is undeniable that Kevin Durant's shot gave the fans at the scene confidence.

Hysterical cheers resounded throughout the stadium!!
However, on the Thunder's bench, head coach Donovan did not show any joy on his face.

Because he knew very well that the Thunder's defense would be the key next.

Being able to stop Wang Yan from scoring is now the top priority for the Thunder. However.

In the next attack of the Cavaliers, Wang Yan did not exert any effort.

Instead, it was Kyrie Irving who showed his value.

When everyone thought Kyrie Irving was passing the ball, the Cavaliers guard took a decisive shot!
"Shh!"

At the top of the three-point line, Kyrie Irving took a decisive shot.

In a moment, the basketball went straight to the basket.

"Kelly~~Owen!!"

"Owen stood up!"

"This three-pointer completely left the Thunder's defensive players unable to react!"

"The three-pointer is a sure hit!"

This shot almost instantly destroyed the Thunder's newly built confidence.

Donovan spread his hands helplessly, his eyes full of helplessness.

In the last few minutes, the morale of the Thunder players has hit rock bottom.

Players such as Wang Yan, Kyrie Irving, and Jimmy Butler have all demonstrated their value.

Consecutive three-point shots made it difficult for the Thunder to recover.

In the end, the score of this game was fixed at 121:110.
The Cavaliers defeated the Thunder without any bloodshed.

In terms of post-match statistics, Wang Yan scored the highest points of the game, with a total of 38 points and 11 assists.

In addition, Kyrie Irving scored 17 points and 9 assists, while Jimmy Butler's performance tonight was relatively average, with only 8 points, 4 assists and 3 steals.

But this did not affect the Cavaliers' victory.

After all, this team has the most versatile player in the entire NBA league.

On the Thunder side, the highest scoring player was Westbrook.

It is undeniable that if it weren't for Westbrook's heroic performance in the game, perhaps the game would have ended as early as the third quarter.

In the whole game, Westbrook scored 22 points and 8 assists, while his big brother Kevin Durant scored 21 points and 7 rebounds.

Although the data looks pretty good, it is still far behind Kevin Durant's average level in the regular season.

In the player tunnel after the game, Thunder head coach Donovan was interviewed by reporters.

"Coach Donovan, what do you think was the biggest reason for the Thunder's loss tonight? In fact, there was a period of time in the game when the Thunder completely suppressed the Cavaliers."

Facing the question from the ESPN reporter, Donovan responded somewhat awkwardly: "Obviously, there is only one reason for the loss, and that is Wang Yan."

"Every time we play against the Cavaliers, I always say that Wang Yan is the strongest player in the entire NBA league."

"Of course, Kevin Durant and Westbrook have the same ability, but Wang Yan is more versatile."

"Although we performed very well at one point in the game, Wang Yan was just resting on the bench during that period."

"If Wang Yan shows up, we won't stand a chance at all!"

……

Compared to Donovan's helplessness in front of reporters, Cavaliers head coach Scott seemed very relaxed and comfortable.

He smiled and said to the reporter: "Today's game was difficult, but every player on the Cavaliers performed very well. I would not say this was the best game the Cavaliers played this season."

"But I believe that as long as we can continue this state, we will win the NBA championship again!"

After this battle, the Cavaliers won 22 consecutive games. If nothing unexpected happens, it is only a matter of time before the Cavaliers enter the playoffs as the first in the Eastern Conference.

Currently, the Cavaliers are leading the second-placed Heat in the Eastern Conference by a full five wins!
