510. Wu Dawei's Dominance
Although Delon Williams did not repeat the same mistake in front of Wu Dawei in the next attack, he helped his teammates get points, and the assists he gave helped the Brooklyn Nets' score to 41 points in this game tonight.
34:41, the Cleveland Cavaliers who played away were still behind the Brooklyn Nets who played home were 7 points. For the Brooklyn Nets, such a scoring undoubtedly slightly relieved the pressure on them before.
If Wu Dawei and the Cleveland Cavaliers have been chasing points behind, it will definitely not be a good thing for the Brooklyn Nets. So Deron Williams' assist this time can be said to have helped the Brooklyn Nets temporarily relieve the pressure.
However, such a scoring method did not particularly satisfy the Brooklyn Nets fans. Because in their opinion, Wu Dawei blocked Deron Williams once on the previous defensive end and completed the steal. In the next attack, Deron Williams naturally had to make the strongest and most powerful counterattack!
A shot from Joe Johnson's three-point line did indeed allow the Brooklyn Nets to expand the gap in the score again, but this is completely incomparable to Wu Dawei's previous performance in the last offensive and defensive round.
So in this regard, Wu Dawei, who hopes the team can make big noises before the start of this game, and his Brooklyn Nets fans of the Cleveland Cavaliers, certainly will not feel particularly satisfied at this time.
However, in the view of Brooklyn Nets head coach PJ Calesimo, such performance is enough to make him feel satisfied. For him, how the team scored in the offensive round just now is not important. What is important is that the team scored goals, which is the most critical and important thing.
The score gap is back to 7 points at this time. Although the Cleveland Cavaliers' offense is still a problem that the Brooklyn Nets cannot solve well, at least the advantage of 7 points now can give the Brooklyn Nets a sense of security temporarily.
Now, for them, they can stop the Cleveland Cavaliers' offense without any worries for the time being.
However, it is obvious that the Cleveland Cavaliers are not so easy to defend. Wu Dawei ruled the previous offensive and defensive round, which also greatly boosted the morale of the entire team.
Especially during the previous timeout, the team's head coach Byron Scott also assigned the task of catching up with the score in this quarter, so at this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers must desperately recover the disadvantage of the score.
At this time, Wu Dawei, who had already scored 15 points, is still an attack point that the Brooklyn Nets cannot limit. Although Gerald Wallace was replaced by PJ Calesimo after the previous timeout, his defense against Wu Dawei was not successful in the first quarter.
Not only in the previous quarter, Wu Dawei's defense was not good, but in the past two games, Gerald Wallace's defense against Wu Dawei was bad.
So at this time, you cannot expect Gerald Wallace's defensive ability to increase by a factor of magnitude.
When Wu Dawei faced Gerald Wallace's defense, the pressure he faced was far less than that of Deron Williams's previous pressure when facing his defense.
When Joe Johnson received a pass from Deron Williams and then sent the ball into the basket from the three-point line, the Cleveland Cavaliers did not pause much, so they quickly sent the baseline ball.
They did not feel too much frustrated because Wu Dawei was about to pass the ball and then quickly dribbled the ball for half. He had scored 15 points and felt that his attack momentum was good, so Wu Dawei did not slow down the pace of the game at this time.
After all, it has been almost half of the second quarter. For the Cleveland Cavaliers, if they want to equalize the gap they are currently behind before the end of the first half, or even complete the overtake, they must be racing against time to make good use of every second of the game.
Otherwise, they may have to face a time-critical problem. For the Cleveland Cavaliers, the time of the game is the most important for them.
So at this time, after Wu Dawei took over the baseline serve from his teammates, he quickly dribbled the ball through the half. Gerald Wallace desperately chased Wu Dawei.
Originally, he thought Wu Dawei would choose to stop after halftime, but what he didn't expect was that Wu Dawei did not do this at this time! After halftime, he was still continuing to move forward, and his speed did not decrease!
This is not what Gerald Wallace could have expected. After all, he does not have the magical prediction ability of Wu Dawei, so when Wu Dawei passed half of the game, he quickly gained the lead and the advantage!
He decided to break into the paint area in one-stop! The Brooklyn Nets naturally could not get Wu Dawei to get his wish at this time, so their defense line was to subconsciously shrink at this time. Gerald Wallace, who was chasing Wu Dawei behind him, gave Wu Dawei a penalty!
However, there will be loopholes when there are pinchs. Moreover, the Brooklyn Nets, which have always been good at attacking, are not a team with good rotation, so when they double-team Wu Dawei at this time, they will naturally reveal their spare time!
Wu Dawei will definitely not waste such a hard-won opportunity easily. When he broke into the three-point line of the Brooklyn Nets' half-court position, he consciously observed the surroundings, and he would not easily fall into the opponent's encirclement.
He didn't want to fall into someone else's trap like a headless fly. So at this moment, when the Brooklyn Nets appeared for his double-team, Wu Dawei's pass was also extremely timely!
He did not hesitate at all and did not wait until his opponent blocked his surroundings tightly before choosing to pass the ball. The ball was assigned to the hands of Changxi Billups on the outside.
In fact, the old Billups just jogged through half the game. Because Wu Dawei took the ball from the backcourt, his work would be much easier. But he didn't expect that he had just run to the three-point line and received a pass from Wu Dawei...
And more importantly, the moment Chauncey Billups received the ball, there was no one in front of him! All the Brooklyn Nets players' attention at this time was attracted by Wu Dawei who broke into the paint area.
All Billups had a very good opportunity to throw an open three-pointer!
Facing such an opportunity, how could Changxi Billups let it go! This is one of the few opportunities he can score in the playoffs, so Changxi Billups jumped up without any hesitation outside the three-point line, and his hands were raised and the ball fell, proving that he is still immortal!
Although Brooklyn Nets star point guard Joe Johnson just made a three-pointer outside the three-point line to widen the gap, in a blink of an eye, Chauncey Billups' three-pointer helped the Cleveland Cavaliers narrow the gap to 4 points again.
37:41!
Although the Brooklyn Nets who are still playing at home are still the Brooklyn Nets, it is obvious that the pressure they are facing is getting bigger and bigger! The point difference has returned to the 4-point gap again, and although the Brooklyn Nets still have the ball in the future, no one can tell that their current situation is very bad!
Wu Dawei's performance in the first quarter was already outstanding enough, but when he regained the game in the second quarter, Wu Dawei played a much more dominant performance than in the first quarter!
And on both offense and defense, Wu Dawei's dominance doubled in the second quarter! This is the most important reason why the Brooklyn Nets felt the pressure at this time. Although they are still the leading side, every Brooklyn Nets fan on the sidelines cannot deny it. At this time, they are already feeling a little confused!
Although Delon Williams has now scored 20 points and 5 assists, he has almost made everything, and his performance in this game tonight was definitely the best. However, when Wu Dawei showed a little sign of an outbreak, he could easily make these New Yorkers feel uneasy!
Especially Spike Lee, who has witnessed Wu Dawei's rampage countless times in Madison Garden Square, and tonight, he certainly would not want to witness the same thing at the Barrek Center.
Especially when the Brooklyn Nets have such a perfect start! Failure is not tolerated by the Brooklyns!
But now, the critical situation has to make people have such bad fantasies. Because the Brooklyn Nets are obviously already a little bit about to be led away!
When Wu Dawei acted on the basketball court, the players on the entire Brooklyn Nets were all in the basketball court!
Chapter completed!
