488. The last section
Wu Dawei made a very deadly three-pointer when the Brooklyn Nets were about to launch a high-chao, and it was undoubtedly a sudden shock to the Brooklyn Nets as if they were about to sprint to the high-chao. They immediately became soft...
Although Brooklyn Nets head coach PJ. Carlesimo made a quick decision at the time, trying to minimize such damage.
But undoubtedly this still caused great physical and psychological damage to the Brooklyn Nets players!
They were unable to come back to their senses. At least after the timeout, the Brooklyn Nets did not play a very exciting offensive and defensive performance like they did before the timeout.
They played in a different state of momentum than before the timeout, which quickly put the Brooklyn Nets in crisis. Because they were already behind before the timeout, they gave the Cleveland Cavaliers 8 points, but after the timeout, they were unable to play the performance before the timeout. Naturally, the gap between the 8 points is even more difficult to narrow!
After returning from the timeout, the situation was much more difficult than before, at least it was definitely like this for the Brooklyn Nets. Because after returning from the timeout, the Brooklyn Nets could not play the same attack and defense as before.
They become very passive, so it will be very difficult for them to perform before the timeout.
Although the Brooklyn Nets still don't want to lose today's game, whether the first game of the series is a very critical thing.
After all, this is related to whether a team's situation is good or bad in the future. If they can win the first game, then the situation will definitely become bad in the subsequent games.
Although the Brooklyn Nets tried their best to play the previous game, they obviously seemed to be willing but not capable after returning from the timeout. Because Wu Dawei's three-pointer indeed strongly hit the Brooklyn Nets' self-confidence.
In the third quarter, although Brooklyn Nets head coach PJ. Kalesimo asked for a timeout in time, this did not prevent the Cleveland Cavaliers from putting the situation back into their control in the subsequent games in the third quarter!
Of course, this will make Brooklyn feel extremely disappointed, because they seem to be really missing out on a great situation in which they reversed the situation in this game!
So at this time, they could just watch the Cleveland Cavaliers slowly widen the gap in the score after the timeout. Of course, this feeling is very uncomfortable, because they were once so close to the hope of a comeback!
Now, the Cleveland Cavaliers have regained their advantage. After the Brooklyn Nets were unable to perform with a huge offensive and defensive performance, it will naturally become the performance time for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Wu Dawei used a three-pointer to increase his score in today's game to 27 points, and this was not his last performance in the third quarter.
After the timeout came back, Wu Dawei continued to perform well on both offense and defense, which also made Joe Johnson, the All-Star shooting guard of the Brooklyn Nets who was against him, very helpless.
When the third quarter ended, Wu Dawei's score had already risen to 31 points, which means that after the timeout came back, the Brooklyn Nets still could not limit Wu Dawei's score well.
As an arrowhead for the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Brooklyn Nets cannot effectively contain him. Obviously, it will make the situation of the Brooklyn Nets in the next game even more critical!
When the third quarter ended, the score continued to be rewritten, and it was developing in the direction that made the Brooklyn Nets feel desperate! When the third quarter ended, the Brooklyn Nets were behind more than 8 points.
63:76!
After the third quarter, the Cleveland Cavaliers opened the score gap to 13 points again! This is an advantage that allows Cleveland Cavaliers fans on the sidelines to lead for at least a while.
Although the Brooklyn Nets were chased by the Brooklyn Nets for a while, in fact, in general, the Cleveland Cavaliers still have a great advantage in this quarter.
Now, when this quarter ends, the Cleveland Cavaliers obviously have a greater advantage! They will face a more relaxed situation in the next fourth quarter.
Such a situation can make the Cleveland Cavaliers win today's game more calmly and without any surprises. This is of course the situation that the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are at home, are most willing to see in today's game.
After experiencing such a thrilling and thrilling situation in the second and third quarters, before the start of the fourth quarter, even with a 13-point lead, the team's head coach Byron Scott still dared not relax or slack at this time.
Because for him, this game cannot be lost no matter what. So with such a big leading advantage at this time, Byron Scott is thinking about how to maintain such a 13-point leading advantage until the last moment of the game in the next game!
For the Brooklyn Nets, the current situation is extremely bad. The team's head coach PJ. Carlesimo was also worried at this time, because the current situation is undoubtedly very bad for the Brooklyn Nets.
Even though there is still a 12-minute game time in the fourth quarter, the Brooklyn Nets can no longer guarantee that they will definitely win this game.
Because the Cleveland Cavaliers undoubtedly reoccupied the situation on the basketball court after that timeout. After they controlled the situation, they naturally would not leave too many opportunities for the Brooklyn Nets.
Although Delon Williams, the core player of the Brooklyn Nets, also contributed 22 points and 7 assists to the team after three quarters. Obviously, this is definitely not enough for the Brooklyn Nets, because they are still 13 behind now!
Although Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Byron Scott still reminded the players not to be relaxed or careless in the next fourth quarter game. But one thing is certain, that is, as several core players of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Wu Dawei, Dwight Howard and others, after the start of the fourth quarter, they can rest for a while.
Although the Brooklyn Nets would definitely not give up the victory of this game so easily in the fourth quarter, even though the Brooklyns have been doing their best since the beginning of the fourth quarter, the 13-point advantage can still allow Wu Dawei and others to get as much rest time as possible.
The Brooklyn Nets players will not be treated so well at this time, especially the Brooklyn Nets' core players, especially the team's first core on the offensive end. He almost didn't take a break in this game today. He played 24 minutes in the first half, and he did not get much rest time in the third quarter.
Judging from the Brooklyn Nets' current situation, it is obvious that Deron Williams will not have too much rest time in the next fourth quarter game.
Because the Brooklyn Nets are too many points behind, and they will definitely not give up this game now. So after the fourth quarter starts, I believe that it will not take long for the team's head coach PJ Calesimo to get Deron Williams to the basketball court.
He had already consumed too much physical energy in this game, and facing such a huge amount of consumption in the first game is undoubtedly a benefit to Deron Williams in the next game.
But if you cannot win the game in this game, the Brooklyn Nets will definitely be even more hit. Because no one is optimistic about them before the game, and the pre-game reports by Cleveland media once made Brooklyns feel very aggrieved.
So they hope to give the proud and arrogant Clevelanders a little color through the victory of this game, but now it seems that the situation is so bad, it will be very difficult for the Brooklyn Nets to win the game!
So at this time, the Brooklyn Nets' enthusiasm will certainly be affected. However, they must still want to win this game. Although the current 13-point disadvantage makes people feel frustrated, they will definitely not give up the idea and hope of winning this game so easily.
The 13-point gap is certainly not a small disadvantage, but it is not particularly huge. At least it can still ignite hope for Brooklyns!.
