418. Dependence

After the Cleveland Cavaliers finished their game against the Miami Heat, among the remaining 10 games of the Cleveland Cavaliers, the game that has received the most attention is undoubtedly the game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Oklahoma City Thunder!

There are many connections between the two sides, so this game is also eye-catching. Of course, the attention is definitely not comparable to the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Miami Heat.

After all, the significance of that game was not just the connection between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Miami Heat, but also because the Miami Heat were in a crazy momentum of winning 27 consecutive victories at that time.

At that time, it can be said that the whole United States was looking forward to seeing when can the Miami people continue such a fierce momentum, and whether it can break the league's historical winning streak record that has been silent for many years, or will it be ended by the opponent in a certain game, and who will end the Miami people's winning streak record...

These doubts are important reasons why people are very interested in the game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Miami Heat. Obviously, there will be less focus on the next game between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Although the Cleveland Cavaliers have now become the team with the longest winning streak in the league after defeating the Miami Heat, the feat of 27 consecutive wins achieved by the Miami Heat is undoubtedly incomparable!

However, when this game comes, it will obviously be a very popular game. In any case, this is also a strong conversation between the two teams in the east and west!

And at present, it is not just Wu Dawei's condition is out of shape. Similarly, although Kevin Durant, as the core player of the Oklahoma City Thunder, is not comparable to that of the previous period, he is also in a state out of shape!

Therefore, the competition between Wu Dawei and Kevin Durant can also attract the attention of many people, but compared to the previous competition between Wu Dawei and LeBron James or the Miami Heat, it must be slightly inferior!

However, after defeating the Miami Heat, the Cleveland Cavaliers will not encounter the Oklahoma City Thunder so quickly. If the Cleveland Cavaliers are allowed to meet the Miami Heat and the Oklahoma City Thunder in a very short period of time, the two teams currently ranked first in the East and West leagues, then it would be a bit too cruel to the Cleveland Cavaliers!

No matter which team in the league, if you encounter these two teams in a short period of time, you will undoubtedly lose your skin even if you don’t die! So the league obviously generally does not make such cruel arrangements!

After defeating the Miami Heat, the Cleveland Cavaliers will get some rest. The Cleveland Cavaliers, which has already won eight consecutive games, are of course very good at present, but in the next ninth game, it will be a big challenge for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Because Wu Dawei, who has performed very well since his comeback, will be arranged for a recess by the team's head coach Byron Scott in this game. In this way, the team will return to the state of no Wu in the first half of the season.

And how bad the performance of such a Cleveland Cavaliers is. Everyone still remembers it fresh at this time! So when Byron Scott announced such news, people will of course feel worried about the Cleveland Cavaliers.

No matter what, although the winning streaks in many games are just a false reputation, far less than a championship. But who wouldn’t like continuous victory? No one would like to fail one after another! Because that is indeed something that makes people feel extremely bad!

But the good thing is that the Cleveland Cavaliers' next game after defeating the Miami Heat. They are still at home and the opponent they are the Toronto Raptors, who are not very strong.

So at least this can be somewhat relieved for Cleveland fans. Even if the Cleveland Cavaliers are not bad without Wu Dawei, they will not be defeated by the Toronto Raptors, which are currently not even in the top ten in the Eastern Conference.

And in addition, they were fighting at home, so everyone was full of confidence in this game! But what surprised countless people was that when the game really started, everyone found that this was not the case!

Without Wu Dawei, the Cleveland Cavaliers did not be able to solve the battle like cutting melons and vegetables in the game as people expected! Instead, they were repeatedly frustrated by the Toronto people. Suspense arises!

Although the Toronto Raptors' record this season is still extremely bad, their strength on the books is very outstanding. Kyle Lori on the back, Demar DeRozan, and Rudy Gay on the front line are very terrifying at least in terms of their books!

Two ruthless guys who scored 20+, plus a point guard above level, the Toronto guys should have performed well with such a backcourt combination and striker swaying guys, but obviously they did not do it, at least this season!

Under such circumstances, the Cleveland Cavaliers still cannot crush their opponents well to win this game, and they still have a strong momentum of 8 consecutive victories, and they are almost turned around by the opponent!

This situation will of course make Cleveland fans feel dissatisfied. Although in the last game, the Cleveland Cavaliers almost turned the tables by the Miami Heat in the last quarter. But that is the reason for the different opponents, and this game is different. The opponents the Cleveland Cavaliers face are only the teams currently ranked outside the top ten in the East.

Faced with such an opponent, the Cleveland Cavaliers still could not perform very well and crushed their opponents to win in one fell swoop. Of course, these are two completely different situations, and naturally it is impossible for Cleveland fans to cheer for the Cleveland Cavaliers like they did in the last game.

Fortunately, the process to the results of at least two games were still very similar, at least the results were acceptable. The Cleveland Cavaliers won their ninth game winning streak in their home court without any danger!

Although they finally achieved a good result, the process became the target of complaints by everyone after the game. Because the Cleveland Cavaliers had not encountered the Toronto Raptors before, and when Wu Dawei was present, the Cleveland Cavaliers easily won the game!

Wu Dawei went wild in that game, not only did he perform very well on the offensive end, but also easily curbed Rudy Guy, the arrowhead character on the opponent's forward line on the defensive end!

It is precisely because at the third position that Wu Dawei helped the Cleveland Cavaliers establish a huge advantage and was able to help the team defend the opponent's number one attacker Demar DeRozan from time to time, so the Cleveland Cavaliers can win such an easy win!

In this game without Wu Dawei, Rudy Gay's runaway game was an important reason why the Cleveland Cavaliers could not win this game quickly and easily!

Although Michael Beasley, a good friend who was originally a starting line combination with Wu Dawei, has a good offense, his performance on the defensive end cannot be compared with Wu Dawei. Although he worked hard enough, he still cannot completely block Rudy and Guy's performance like Wu Dawei played last time when he played against the Toronto Raptors!

Naturally, before the remaining heat of the Cleveland Cavaliers' victory over the Miami Heat has dissipated, people will naturally feel it talked about it! However, the direction of discussion has been from Wu Dawei leading the team to defeat the arrogant Miami Heat in recent times, to what would it be like if the Cleveland Cavaliers had not Wu Dawei?

For many people, this is not a new topic, because when Wu Dawei was absent in the first half of the season, many people already had ideas about it! Because the performance of the Cleveland Cavaliers at that time was not considered a big shot in any case. Although they could occasionally reach the top eight in the Eastern Conference, will this be consistent with the identity of a team that had just won the championship last season?

Obviously the answer is no! Now, when Wu Dawei was arranged for a round break by the team's head coach, the Cleveland Cavaliers immediately showed their dependence on Wu Dawei, which also surprised many people.

Because after all, the Cleveland Cavaliers' lineup is not just a super star Wu Dawei. Dwight Howard is also the league's number one center in many years, and has led the team to the finals alone. Kyrie Irving has become the starting guard of the league's Eastern All-Star this season!

It can be said that judging from the luxury of the team's lineup alone, the Cleveland Cavaliers are not too weak than their competitors!

And compared to other giant teams, the Cleveland Cavaliers obviously have more advantages in age than them. This is one of the reasons why people think they can establish a basketball dynasty!
