331. Forced to adjust

Although the Cleveland Cavaliers established some leading advantages at the beginning, the game did not become very easy because then, the Miami Heat started their counterattack under the leadership of LeBron James.

Moreover, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who play at home, have little advantage in leading, which also gives the Miami Heat a better chance. For the Miami Heat, of course, they will not be willing to be behind the Cleveland Cavaliers all the time. Although the scores behind are not many, this is not tolerant!

So the Cleveland Cavaliers just took a 6:9 lead, and the Miami Heat immediately launched a counterattack and immediately launched a strong attack wave.

Fortunately, under such circumstances, the Cleveland Cavaliers also resisted the offensive launched by the opponent. Although the Miami people are in a strong momentum recently and seem to be rampant in the league, the Cleveland Cavaliers' state in recent times will be much worse than the Miami people.

Anyway, they have achieved an impressive record of 22 wins and 1 loss in the second half of the season, and are currently the team with the highest winning rate in the league except for the Miami Heat!

So although the Miami Heat are indeed the leader in the league now, the Cleveland Cavaliers have not performed much less than their performance since the beginning of the second half of the season.

If it weren't for the Cleveland Cavaliers losing to the Miami Heat by 10 points in the last matchup between the two sides, the Cleveland Cavaliers' current momentum would not necessarily be much worse than the opponent's ranks!

So at this time, after the Cleveland Cavaliers took a 9:6 lead. Although the Miamis immediately wanted to counterattack, the Cleveland Cavaliers still resisted it very well.

Wu Dawei is the one who opened up the situation for the Cleveland Cavaliers, and Dwight Howard's attack in the inside was the stabilization needle for the Cleveland Cavaliers to this game tonight!

Because the Miami Heat's weak inside line could not stop Dwight Howard's destruction, and if the Miami people double-team Dwight Howard's offense, then Danny Green, who was always ambushing the wing, could fully play his shooting role at this time.

This season, Danny Green's three-point shooting percentage reached more than 40%, which is a level of data. His existence also makes the Miami people dare not attack Dwight Howard, who is too unscrupulous to attack Dwight Howard in the inside.

Moreover, almost all the five people in the starting lineup of the Cleveland Cavaliers have good attack power. So no matter who the Miami Heat chooses to double-team, they will face a difficult problem, that is, the person who leaks will always give the opponent a fatal blow!

The Cleveland Cavaliers still protected their weak lead at the beginning relying on Wu Dawei. Although the Miami Heat came in a fierce manner, the Cleveland Cavaliers, which had taken the lead from the beginning, were not easy to bully.

The battle between the two sides is obviously about to spark. Since both sides attach great importance to this game, it is naturally impossible to produce results so easily.

The battle between the two sides quickly caused the game to stalemate. But of course, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who played at home, had a slight advantage in the lead. After all, compared to the Miami Heat, the Cleveland Cavaliers' lineup was more neat in this game tonight. Moreover, there was no such situation in their lineup like Dwayne Wade.

Although Wade still persisted in the game tonight, the problem is that he can never exert 100% strength, and on the defensive end, he will always be misplaced after being picked and rolled by the Cleveland Cavaliers.

This also makes the Miami Heat feel very helpless. Wade himself is naturally even more helpless. Although he can bring great help to the Miami Heat on the offensive end, he cannot do his best due to physical injuries on the defensive end, which gives the Cleveland Cavaliers an opportunity to take advantage of it.

The Cleveland Cavaliers did not disappoint Dwayne. Wade had physical injuries at this time. In addition to Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard's counterattack, they also used the pick-and-roll to complete misalignment to fight Wade one-on-one on the offensive end.

Although Wade himself has good defensive strength, after all, in this game tonight, he was trapped by his injury problem and did not dare to do his best.

This situation also led to the Cleveland Cavaliers always taking the initiative and taking advantage in this game tonight, and made the Miami Heat feel very uncomfortable.

The Cleveland Cavaliers took the lead from the beginning, and this situation continued until the middle of the first quarter. In terms of the score, the Cleveland Cavaliers still had the upper hand.

After the change of the formation, the Cleveland Cavaliers' offense and defense rhythm has been significantly improved, which also makes their transition between the offensive and defensive ends always seem extremely smooth. Although Dwight Howard is a traditional inside center player, his running and jumping ability is also first-class.

Although now due to back injury, they can no longer run all over the field as before, but they can still keep up with the pace of the Cleveland Cavaliers. After the formation changes, the Cleveland Cavaliers will become more perfect, so that their lineup allows them to fight in positions and ensure mobility.

Although Wu Dawei has a little gap in height when playing the No. 4 position, fortunately his tonnage is large enough. This is the same as the Miami Heat often uses LeBron and James to play the No. 4 position.

At least when they are carrying the opponent's No. 4 player, they will not suffer in tonnage. Moreover, there is a Dwight Howard Wu Dawei in the inside of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Even if he is pushed into the paint area by the opponent, as long as Wu Dawei resists the person, Dwight Howard can wait behind him and give the opponent a big hat that hits the head!

Dwight Howard often completes such blocking, which can help Wu Dawei make up for his short height in the fourth position.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have always had an advantage on the basketball court, which also made the head coach Pat Riley of Miami Heat standing on the sidelines feel a little anxious. Because for him, wasn’t Wade insisting on playing in this game just to win the game? From this point of view, it can be seen how much the players value this game tonight.

If you lose this game, it will definitely have a huge blow to morale. So looking at the situation on the basketball court at this time, Pat Riley will of course feel anxious. On the one hand, he is worried about the situation on the court, and on the other hand, he is worried about Dwyne Wade's injury.

So just halfway through the first quarter, Pat Riley made his first personnel adjustment in this game. Veteran Ray Allen came on as a substitute at this time, and the person he replaced was Dwyne Wade.

Although this makes the average age of the Miami Heat appear to be even older, fortunately, Ray Allen's condition remains very good after coming to the Miami Heat this season!

It is precisely because of Ray Allen's performance this season that the Miami Heat were able to score an epic winning streak of 27 consecutive victories!

So although Ray Allen replaced Dwayne Wade at this time, his average age has increased, but the Miami Heat's strength on the books may not necessarily decrease much.

After all, Ray Allen was once one of the three big players of the Boston Celtics. Although he is getting older, his strength is still there.

Moreover, his appearance greatly enhanced the Miami Heat's firepower on the periphery, and LeBron James' breakthrough at this time will also become more powerful! Because his breakthrough can tear the defense of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Then if the players who defend Ray Allen come to assist in defense of James, then James will make a point with the title of Ray Allen's first three-pointer shooter in history. Do you think he has a high chance of not making an open three-pointer or a open three-pointer?

Obviously the answer is the obvious latter! So Ray Allen's appearance will not reduce the difficulty of the Cleveland Cavaliers on the court at this time, but on the contrary, they need to become more cautious.

Although the Cleveland Cavaliers were always the leading side on the basketball court at this time, the problem was that they could never open the gap with the Miami Heat. Their inability to fully establish a leading advantage was one of the reasons why the game was still very anxious at this time.

Faced with Pat Riley's adjustment to the Miami Heat personnel, the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Byron Scott, did not want to make corresponding adjustments at this moment. Because in his opinion, his team's current performance is still very good. As long as he continues to ensure such rhythm and state, Byron Scott believes that no matter how Pat Riley adjusts, the initiative will be on the Cleveland Cavaliers' side.

Although he also hopes that the team can open the gap in the score as soon as possible, Byron Scott also knows that this is not realistic, so as long as the current situation can be maintained, it will be very beneficial for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
