After the game restarted, the ball was handed over to the Thunder.
Durant and Westbrook connected inside and completed the attack very easily, helping the Thunder expand the score to 19 points.
The wider the point difference widened, the more desperate the Wizards fans on the sidelines felt. Some fans even covered their eyes, afraid to look at the scene in front of them.
The next game was a one-sided massacre for the Wizards. The Wizards were like a lamb pressed on the chopping board, unable to fight back.
In the first quarter of the game, the Thunder made 21 of 28 shots and scored 50 points in a single quarter, beating the Wizards.
The Wizards were beaten so hard that they could only run away. Not only did starting point guard Wall score zero points in the first quarter, he went 0-for-8, which meant that he did not score a goal in the entire quarter.
What's more, Wall also made 4 mistakes and was blocked 3 times. Wall's data tonight can be said to be extremely bleak, so bleak that people can't bear to look at it.
Bill was also affected by Wall, and his state declined greatly. He scored 1 of 6 in a single quarter, scored a humiliating 3 points, and also made 3 turnovers.
In other words, in the first quarter of the game, Wall and Bill made a total of 7 turnovers.
For some teams, the total number of turnovers in the entire game may be around 10 or 9.
However, the two of them made 7 turnovers in the first quarter. Adding in the 2 turnovers made by others, the Wizards made a total of 9 turnovers in the first quarter.
Nine turnovers in a single quarter also allowed the Wizards to create history and become the team with the most turnovers in a single quarter in NBA history. For them, it is really a shameful record.
It is enough to see how important Lu Yao, who mainly defends the two outsiders, plays.
In the first quarter, Lu Yao's opponent took 14 shots in front of Lu Yao and only hit 1 goal.
And that ball was a lucky ball. Even Bill who scored the ball felt incredible. He almost threw the ball away, but he never thought that this ball would miraculously be scored.
With a shooting percentage of less than 10%, Lu Yao's defensive performance suddenly improved. He scored 4 steals and 3 blocks in a single quarter, which almost drove Wall crazy.
Wall never imagined that such a player would not only have unsolvable offensive performance, but he would also be equally unsolvable on the defensive end.
The Capital One Arena is now filled with dead silence and an atmosphere of despair.
In the first quarter, the Thunder beat the Wizards by 32 points with a score of 50:18! With 32 points in a single quarter, the Thunder also broke the historical record and became the team with the most leading points in a single quarter.
As long as they want, in the second quarter of the game, they can break the historical record.
Soon, the second quarter began, and players from both sides took to the court. The Thunder made substitution adjustments, replacing the main players on the court and sending them back to the bench.
In other words, the Thunder chose to leave the Wizards with the last dignity and replaced it with a full bench lineup. This is already very respectful.
It just depends on whether the Wizards can seize this opportunity.
But a scene that made Wizards fans even more desperate happened.
When the Thunder replaced all substitutes and were led by West, whose ankle had not fully recovered, the Wizards' entire main lineup was unable to beat the Thunder's second team.
The fans at the scene had already begun to leave. For them, this game was really humiliating. They were so humiliated that they really didn’t want to watch anymore.
Irving and James on the sidelines looked at each other, and then James slowly spoke.
"Would you like to say hello to a few of them later?"
Immediately, James pointed in the direction of Lu Yao and others on the Thunder bench and said to Irving.
Owen nodded and spoke slowly.
"Okay, let's celebrate them by the way. Now they have broken the record again."
His eyes shifted to the scoreboard. Before halftime was over, the Thunder already led the Wizards by 40 points!
The huge point difference of 40 points cannot be chased back no matter how hard we chase.
At the moment when the Thunder led by 40 points, the entire game began to become boring. Just as the fans predicted before the game, this was completely a one-sided massacre by the Thunder.
Unfortunately, the result did not go as Wizards fans hoped. The Thunder did not show mercy. After all, the Wizards themselves did not seize the opportunity, so there was no need for the Thunder to show mercy.
Before half the game was over, the Thunder's starting lineup had already returned to the locker room.
In the boring second quarter, as the referee's whistle sounded, the Thunder ended the first half with a 39-point lead and a score of 67:28.
The Thunder broke the NBA's historical half-time lead record by exactly one point.
The Thunder's team's shooting percentage is as high as 75%, the three-point shooting percentage is 60%, and the assists, rebounds, blocks and steals are twice or more than the Wizards.
In the third quarter of the game, everyone from the Thunder in casual clothes also appeared in public view, sitting on the bench and watching the entire game.
When the game reached the fourth quarter, a large number of people had already left the auditorium at Capital One Arena. People had completely lost interest in the game, and only a few persisters were left.
But these people who persisted were just playing with their phones with their heads down, or chatting with people around them. No one was watching the game seriously.
In the end, the Thunder won the road trip with a huge advantage of 41 points, continuing to maintain the league's first record and winning 18 consecutive games.
At the same time, their winning streak has reached seventh place in history, and for the next schedule, they are very hopeful to squeeze into the top five in history.
After the game, James and Irving came to the player tunnel. Lu Yao and others were surprised when they saw James and Irving, and then came forward to hug them.
James hugged Lu Yao, patted Lu Yao on the back, and said, "Lu, you did a good job."
Lu Yao also responded: "LeBron, I look forward to your performance tomorrow night."
Immediately, the two looked at each other and smiled, full of sympathy for their powerful opponent.
In this game, the news that the Thunder broke the record of leading in half-time points spread all over the Internet.
Almost all fans in the world who watched this game were discussing Lu Yao's performance.
In this game, Lu Yao had an unprecedented one-quarter break, scoring 11 points, 4 steals and 3 blocks, wonderfully breaking his own record of 17 consecutive games with 25+ points.
Despite this, Lu Yao's performance is simply worthy of praise from the fans who watched this game, and is enough to be called the real MVP player of this game.
