532. Despair
Although the Brooklyn Nets, who played at home, still wanted to win the game tonight after the score became 85:76, it was obvious that the situation had become very unfriendly to them.
It has become a relatively unrealistic thing for the Brooklyn Nets to continue to win this game under such circumstances. Because in the wave of time before this timeout, Wu Dawei and his Cleveland Cavaliers had completely gained the upper hand.
Such an advantage helped the Cleveland Cavaliers gain a huge advantage at this time. For the Brooklyn Nets, even if they still don't want to surrender in this game, there are really few opportunities left to them.
The possibility of the Brooklyn Nets turning around under such circumstances has become very small. Although the score difference is only 9 points, this will not hinder the Cleveland Cavaliers' advantage at this time.
For them, winning this game is almost a foregone conclusion. Perhaps the Brooklyn Nets, who play at home, will struggle to the death in the subsequent games, but the Cleveland Cavaliers now have completely gained the upper hand in the situation. And more importantly, Delon Williams, the core player of the Brooklyn Nets, did not dare to attack even when facing Wu Dawei's defense. This is definitely a devastating blow to the Brooklyn Nets!
And it is precisely because of this that the Brooklyn Nets want to win this game tonight is already a more difficult thing than climbing the sky.
In such a situation, the Cleveland Cavaliers have of course basically determined the tone of winning this game tonight.
When Brooklyn Nets head coach PJ Carlesimo was once again forced to ask for a timeout, Byron Scott, the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers, he replaced Wu Dawei again during this timeout.
For him, of course, he always thinks about finding a rest time for Wu Dawei. After all, Wu Dawei is the backbone of the Cleveland Cavaliers now. As long as he can have abundant physical fitness and good condition, the Cleveland Cavaliers will not be afraid no matter how they face any opponent!
So after this timeout, Wu Dawei, who had scored consecutive points before, returned to the bench to rest again.
On the other side, Deron Williams, who seemed very panicked when he was defending against Wu Dawei, was replaced by Brooklyn Nets' head coach PJ Carlesimo to rest.
Finally, with about 40 seconds left in the third quarter, the two teams officially began to enter the first rotation time in the second half.
A large number of substitute players were successively on the stadium at this time, while the core players of the two teams were all replaced by the stadium to rest at this time.
Whether it is for the Cleveland Cavaliers or the Brooklyn Nets, it is now officially time to enter the rest period. The main players of both sides are resting under the basketball court at this time to make final preparations for the last quarter.
However, it is obvious that at this time, although there is still the last quarter of the fourth quarter left in the game, both sides will still have the chance to win the game, whether for the Cleveland Cavaliers or the Brooklyn Nets, they will still have the opportunity to win the game. However, in the eyes of most people, it is obvious that the Cleveland Cavaliers' winning rate in this game tonight is much greater than that of the Brooklyn Nets!
At this time, even Spike Lee, who is most annoying to Wu Dawei and the Cleveland Cavaliers, has to admit that the Brooklyn Nets are indeed completely at a disadvantage.
Although there is still one quarter of the game, it is obviously a difficult thing for the Brooklyn Nets to regain the situation of the game and win the final victory under such circumstances!
The 40 seconds of the third quarter ended quickly. The score did not change any time in these 40 seconds. 85:76, the last score of the third quarter game. The 9-point gap is still the biggest score difference between the two sides at this time!
The 9-point gap can also allow Wu Dawei to rest on the bench safely. After the third quarter, after two minutes of rest, the game continued to kick off without stopping.
Although the Cleveland Cavaliers let Wu Dawei sit on the bench at this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers still maintained their advantage on the basketball court in the subsequent fourth quarter. They even easily widened the gap between the two sides to more than double digits not long after the fourth quarter starts!
For the Brooklyn Nets, the gap between the points is getting bigger and bigger at this time, which is certainly not good news for them, but at this time they are completely unable to stop the Cleveland Cavaliers from widening the gap in the score.
Even though Brooklyn Nets head coach PJ Carlesimo frequently requested a timeout, he still could not stop the Brooklyn Nets from losing points. At this time, anyone can see that the Brooklyn Nets are about to lose their goals in this game tonight!
Although they played a very good start in this game tonight, they obviously did not continue the momentum of such a game well. The opening of this game was like the previous game. The Brooklyn Nets were able to gain the advantage of the game first, but they were unable to maintain their lead in the next game.
And in this game tonight, although the Brooklyn Nets were fighting in their home court, the Barlek Center, they still played worse than the previous game!
In the last game, the Brooklyn Nets maintained their leading advantage for most of the game. However, in this game tonight, they gave up such a leading advantage for only more than one quarter. And in the next third quarter, the gap was gradually widened by the Cleveland Cavaliers who played away.
All of this made the Brooklyn Nets feel extremely depressed at this time. Because before this game began, they had vowed to win this game, but the process of the game is completely different from what they imagined.
With a huge difference in the game, it is obviously impossible to get a satisfactory result for Brooklyns. At least at this time, the Brooklyn Nets fans on the sidelines watched as the team fell behind more and more points after the start of the fourth quarter, they also knew that this game would probably be explained like this.
Although Brooklyn Nets' head coach PJ Calesimo soon replaced all the core players on the basketball court and wanted to make a final desperate attempt. However, it was obviously a waste of effort, because even if the Brooklyn Nets replaced all the main players, they did not be able to curb the team's continued decline.
While the Brooklyn Nets were completely unable to stop the Cleveland Cavaliers' offensive, they were always suppressed by the Cleveland Cavaliers. Even in the face of the Brooklyn Nets' adjustment, the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers Byron Scott did not make a big move and immediately replaced all the core players on the court, but the Brooklyn Nets still could not reverse the situation at this time.
Wu Dawei scored 47 points at the end of the third quarter in this game tonight. In the fourth quarter, it was obvious that the team's head coach Byron Scott did not plan to let him play again. Because even if he was not as good as Wu Dawei, the Cleveland Cavaliers could still firmly control the situation of the entire game in the fourth quarter.
Then obviously, in this way, Wu Dawei's score will be frozen to 47 points tonight. At this time, Deron Williams, the core of the Brooklyn Nets, was sent to the court by the team's head coach PJ Carlesimo.
But even though he still played in the fourth quarter, Delong Williams' 44-point score never rose by a point! Perhaps it was because of Wu Dawei's two blocks and subsequent steals that had a great impact on him. So even at this time, Delong Williams was not facing Wu Dawei's defense. But he still couldn't get points...
When Deron Williams was replaced by Brooklyn Nets coach PJ Carlesimo in the fourth quarter, he scored 44 points in the first three quarters, and his score was still 44 points, without any change...
And Deron Williams' performance in the fourth quarter showed the Brooklyn Nets' status in the entire fourth quarter. For the Brooklyn Nets, of course, they were unwilling to lose this game tonight, but when the fourth quarter game was about to end, they had to accept such a cruel fact!
When the whole game ended, although the Brooklyn Nets who played at home played a very exciting start, they were unable to defend such an advantage in the end. The situation was reversed in the second quarter and the Cleveland Cavaliers played a wave of offense and defense in the third quarter, which made the Brooklyn Nets finally have no choice but to accept the failed ending!
They eventually lost this game tonight, no matter how reluctant they were about it. However, the score was frozen at this time, and the huge gap of 118:103 and 15 points almost perfectly interprets the Brooklyn Nets' dilemma in this game.
The Cleveland Cavaliers finally won the game! After winning this game tonight, the Cleveland Cavaliers also had a huge advantage in this round of the series!
After this game, they led the Brooklyn Nets by a huge advantage of 3-0. They only have one game left to win the Cleveland Cavaliers to advance to the second round. Although the fourth game between the two sides will still be held at the home Barlek Center of the Brooklyn Nets.
But at this time, almost no one would think that the Brooklyn Nets could stop the Cleveland Cavaliers from continuing to move forward! There would be no more suspense. In the eyes of most people, the Cleveland Cavaliers will sweep the Brooklyn Nets in the first round of the game!
Even if the Brooklyn Nets fight stubbornly, the huge gap in strength between the two sides cannot be made up in a short period of time! So although the Brooklyn Nets will still have home advantage in the next game, the result should not be too different from this game tonight...
This will of course be a cruel reality for the Brooklyn Nets, but who said they are not as skilled as others? Although Deron Williams scored 44 points in this game tonight, after the game tonight, there will not be too many people remembering the 44 points he scored, and most people remember more about Deron Williams' timid performance when facing Wu Dawei's defense at the end of the third quarter!
Because at that time, Deron Williams was indeed unable to assume the responsibility of a leader! This is also an important reason why the Brooklyn Nets were unable to make the situation come true!
For the Brooklyn Nets, they have almost no hope of advancing to the next round. Naturally, people will no longer have any expectations for them. Instead of hoping that they can block the Cleveland Cavaliers, it is better to expect them not to give up on the battle in Game 4!
In the eyes of many people, especially after this game, many people think that this is not impossible. In fact, after the third quarter and the entire fourth quarter, the Brooklyn Nets have almost no resistance!
And in Game 4, when the Brooklyn Nets faced the disadvantage of 0:3, they might be even more reluctant to resist...
Because Brooklyns are already desperate...
Chapter completed!
