392. Need to change

Although the 6-point gap is not big, the Miami people who are determined to win their 28th game of the season after this game are over, of course they will feel very dissatisfied with such a half-time result that ends with falling behind!

Because in the last game with the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Miami Heat also easily won the game. So they naturally took it for granted that they would also have an easy journey in this game tonight.

But obviously the fact is that the situation is completely opposite to what they imagined. Not only did they never gain a leading advantage in the game, but they were all behind at the end of the first half.

Such a situation will certainly make them feel frustrated, although in this game, they have the reason why Dwayne Wade is troubled by injury can be used as an excuse. But the problem is that no matter whether Dwayne Wade is troubled by injury, the Miami people really want to win the game!

So facing such a half-time ending, of course, it will make them feel unacceptable. Not only the Miami Heat players, LeBron James and others, feel this way, even the team's head coach Pat Riley felt very helpless about the situation at the end of such a half-time game.

After all, this game is also highly valued by him. Of course, the meaning he values ​​is different from that of LeBron and James. He values ​​it because he regards this game as a preview of the two sides' playoffs. He thinks that judging from the current state of the Cleveland Cavaliers, they will definitely move forward in the playoffs.

Combined with the current momentum of the Miami Heat, it is obvious that the chances of meeting the two teams in the playoffs will definitely increase greatly. In this case, if they can gain an absolute advantage in the regular season, it will definitely be of great help to the Miami Heat encounter the Cleveland Cavaliers in this season's playoffs.

Although the Miami Heat have won the victory against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the previous three matches, and the three games ended with a relatively large score.

But this is not enough, people's horror is always endless! Especially in the Miami people have won the game in the previous three matches, so of course they will also start to hope for the fourth match.

Obviously, the result of the half-game in this game tonight was that they felt extremely disappointed. The Cleveland Cavaliers played in a better state than the previous three games. They were originally a team that combines the inside and outside lines very well, and they had super strong offensive abilities in both the inside and outside lines! And such a team has always been a team that is weak inside and the Miami Heat is not good at the opponent. For example, the Indiana Pacers that have risen this season!

The Pacers' inside line has David West and Roy Hibert. They are always able to cause great trouble to the Miami Heat in the inside line. In the first half of this season, the Miami Heat played against the Indiana Pacers several times, and the Pacers have brought great trouble to the Miami Heat!

Even in the first half of the season, the Pacers won the game twice! This is enough to prove how afraid of a team with excellent inside skills and strong inside players!

Although they completely won the two matches with the Pacers in the second half of the season, this still cannot cover up the fact that the Miami Heat are afraid of a team with outstanding inside players!

It is precisely because of this characteristic that the Cleveland Cavaliers will definitely become an opponent that makes Miami people feel even more troublesome. This is also why the Miami Heat, from the team's head coach Pat Riley, down to players LeBron James and others, all regard Wu Dawei and his Cleveland Cavaliers as their number one enemy to break out of the Eastern Conference!

Not only because Wu Dawei and his Cleveland Cavaliers are the defending champions of the league this season, but also the more important reason is of course because the Miami Heat have a record of 2 wins and 8 losses against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the past two seasons of the playoffs!

The winning rate of 10 games is only 20%! This is definitely an extremely shocking statistic, especially when the Miami Heat formed such a strong core lineup!

In this game tonight, the Miami Heat encountered great problems. Although they had gained the upper hand for the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first three matches this season, the difficulties encountered by the Miami Heat were unprecedented in the past three games!

Pat Riley will of course be in a state of turbulent problem. Because now not only the team is in a deadlock, but the team is still hit by injuries in this game! Although Dwyne Wade, who was injured, once brought great help to the team in the second quarter, the problem is that you cannot ask a player with back injury to play as before!

And this is only about a month before the playoffs! If Wade's injury worsens due to this game, it will undoubtedly put a huge shadow on the Miami Heat's prospects for winning the championship this season!

So Pat Riley would never do such a thing as destroying the Great Wall! However, he would not give up easily in the second half. The team's core LeBron James scored 20 points in half and was the person with the highest score in the whole game. This also shows how outstanding his current personal state is on the offensive end. However, in addition to 20 points, LeBron James only had one assist at the end of the half, which also made people feel a bit unexpected.

And this is what the team's head coach Pat Riley needs to discuss with LeBron James during the halftime break. Of course, Pat Riley would not want LeBron James to have so many solo fights on the basketball court. After all, as the core of the team, especially when Wade still has so many injuries, if LeBron James does not sort out the Miami Heat's offense, then the Miami Heat's offensive end will face the risk of extreme paralysis!

So at this time, LeBron James has to take on more and greater responsibilities. As the team's leader and core, LeBron James cannot always be addicted to the one-on-one fight with Wu Dawei.

Moreover, although Wu Dawei often forms singles against LeBron James, the problem is that he is not obsessed with attacking on LeBron James' defense. He chose to pass more after attracting a clamped defense!

This is an important reason why Wu Dawei allowed the Cleveland Cavaliers to take the lead at the end of the first half, and at this point, LeBron James obviously did not do that well in the first half!

The Miami Heat exposed too many problems in their first half game, but as the Cleveland Cavaliers, who were leading the team in the first half, did not say that there was no problem at all.

Their defensive performance in the first half will not make the team's head coach Byron Scott feel satisfied! The score of 58:52, if converted into the whole game, the Miami Heat can score at least 100 points, while the Cleveland Cavaliers have lost only 98 points per game this season!

So although the Cleveland Cavaliers are the leading side, they still have their troubles. That is, they are not as good as they were on the defensive end!

It is precisely because of this that the Cleveland Cavaliers are still unable to lead the Miami Heat significantly in this game even though they have performed so well on the offensive end!

Failure to seize the opportunity when he established an advantage would indeed make Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Byron Scott feel very angry and dissatisfied. Although he was mentally prepared to play a difficult game before the start of this game, if he saw that the team was unable to seize the opportunity on the basketball court and directly expanded the current advantage to the point that made the Miami people more desperate, it would indeed make him feel very unhappy!

So although the Cleveland Cavaliers led the Miami Heat by as much as 6 points at the end of the first half, Byron Scott was still dissatisfied with the team's performance in the first half, especially on the defensive end, which is particularly obvious!

So of course Byron Scott would emphasize this point to the whole team during the half-time break. He hopes that such a situation can improve in the second half of the game. Similarly, as the currently lagging side, Miami Heat head coach Pat Riley also hopes that the team can play a completely different game in the second half of the game than in the first half!
