647. The perfect start
Dwight Howard scored his first goal in the third game of the Eastern Conference Finals on the evening of May 27. This allowed the Cleveland Cavaliers to successfully gain the lead in this game.
But obviously this cannot satisfy the Clevelanders, after all, the game has just begun. Their advantage is only one 2 points...
After Dwight Howard scored, the Miami people quickly attacked. The confidence to win in the first two games made the Miami Heat's offense seem calm at this time.
After halftime, Chalmos routinely handed the ball to LeBron James to deal with it. Among the Miami Heat team, LeBron James has become the team's ball controler.
In order to win a championship, the three giants each made sacrifices. Dwyne Wade gave up the ball, so that LeBron James could fully display his ability in holding the ball.
Although LeBron James had said to reporters before the start of this game that made the Clevelanders feel very disgusted, which made him look very arrogant.
However, at this moment on the basketball court, after LeBron James received the ball from Chalmos, his desire to attack was not particularly high.
Facing Wu Dawei's defense, he did not launch an attack immediately. Instead, he chose to make a pick-and-roll with Chris Bosh at the high position, and then after being cracked by Wu Dawei and Michael Beasley, LeBron James no longer continued to dominate the ball.
He passed the ball to Chris Bosh, who had previously played pick-and-roll for himself. After Chris Bosh received the ball, he chose to break through forcibly in the face of Beasley's defense.
Because of his height advantage, Chris Bosh certainly hopes to get close to the basket as close to the basket as possible to solve the battle when facing Michael Beasley.
Although there is a Dwight Howard in the inside of the Cleveland Cavaliers, after the baptism of the previous two games, at least at this time, Chris Bosh was not afraid of Dwight Howard at all.
However, it was obvious that Dwight Howard in this game tonight had a completely different performance from him in the previous two games. When Chris Bosh forced him to rush in with Michael Beasley, Dwight Howard made a quick decision to let go of Chris Anderson and chose to save.
Chris Bosh obviously was not ready for such a preparation. His shot was slapped away by Dwight Howard as soon as he made a move. The ball that was slapped by Dwight Howard did not fly out of the boundary at this time, but was predicted by the agile Wu Dawei at this time and held it in his hand!
The entire Quick Loan Center was once again restless at this time. Dwight Howard's performance on the offensive end after the opening made all Cleveland fans feel excited.
However, something even more exciting is still behind. When Wu Dawei got the ball, the Cleveland Cavaliers immediately launched a counterattack. After Dwight Howard blocked his opponent, he immediately rushed through the half. Then he entered the inside again.
After Wu Dawei controlled the ball and passed the half, he immediately handed the ball to him without any hesitation, because Dwight Howard had scored in the offense before.
Of course, Chris Anderson was a little nervous at this time. After all, Dwight Howard had just scored a goal under his defense. However, even if Anderson worked very hard and cautiously, he still could not protect his team's basket well in this defense.
Because Dwight Howard was in this game tonight, he was obviously very good. Facing Anderson's defense, he no longer had a very tangled and struggle like the previous two games.
The Miami Heat still did not have any pincer attacks or assisting defense at this time. In this case, Dwight Howard faced Anderson's single defense, and once again used a small hook after turning around, which made the latter only able to look at the ball under the basket and sigh...
The ball was once again hooked into the basket by Dwight Howard. The Cleveland Cavaliers scored 4 points in the game tonight.
In less than a minute, they had already taken a 4:0 lead. This was a great start for the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Cleveland fans on the sidelines were also very happy about it.
At least so far, this is a situation similar to what they had imagined before the start of this game. The Cleveland Cavaliers swept the haze of their poor performances in those two away games in succession.
Although the game was just beginning, no conclusion could be drawn, at this time, a 4-0 lead was enough to make Cleveland fans feel happy.
At the same time, the morale of the Cleveland Cavaliers will also rise. For the Cleveland Cavaliers, no matter what the subsequent games will become, at least their performance is still remarkable.
The Miami Heat were also a little surprised at this time, because of course they never expected that they would encounter such a huge obstacle just as the away game began.
The Cleveland Cavaliers' performance at the opening will of course catch the Miami people feeling a little off guard. Especially in the previous two games, Dwight Howard, who scored an average score of less than 20 points, scored 4 points in a row and contributed a blocking performance.
This is undoubtedly a bit shocking thing, especially the Miami Heat. They are now immediately behind at the beginning, which makes them feel very bad.
But obviously there are things that make them feel even worse next, because Dwight Howard's performance at the opening was not just about these 4 points and a blocked data.
When the Miami Heat attacked again for halftime, LeBron James took the ball and made a pick-and-roll with Anderson in the inside, and then tried to hit the inside.
The Cleveland Cavaliers completed the switch, and Dwight Howard followed LeBron James to the inside, and then when the former jumped up and shot, he gave the opponent another solid block!
This is the second block that Dwight Howard has won in this game, of course, not all. When the Cleveland Cavaliers regained the ball, the Miami Heat suffered another heavy blow in the half.
After Dwight Howard blocked LeBron and James in the front, he returned to the offensive end. The Cleveland Cavaliers once again handed the ball to the inside.
Even Wu Dawei did not compete with Dwight Howard for the ball at this time. After all, Dwight Howard is in very good shape at this time. So at this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers will of course hand over the ball to Dwight Howard more to solve the problem.
Moreover, the Miami Heat did not change any of their strategies at this time, and Dwight Howard still did not receive double-team treatment in the interior.
Of course, at this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers have to take this opportunity to play more Miami Heat's inside line.
So Dwight Howard became the breakthrough for the Cleveland Cavaliers in this game at this time. When he threw the ball into the basket for the third time in a row, the score had already become 6:0. At this time, Miami Heat head coach Pat Riley finally decided to make adjustments!
He told the players to start attacking the inside, of course, that was heard by the Cleveland Cavaliers players on the basketball court, because Pat Riley did not choose to request a timeout, but shouted at the players on the basketball court.
Of course, this will inspire the confidence of the entire Cleveland Cavaliers, because isn’t this telling them that the performance of the Cleveland Cavaliers in previous games was very outstanding and successful?
Their performance at this time is amazing, at least so what Cleveland fans on the sidelines think. The current score is 6:0, which is a perfect enough performance for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
And now, what they have to do is to continue to ensure such an advantage until the game is completely over!
Although he took the lead at the beginning, the Cleveland Cavaliers still understand that the Miami people will never play so sluggishly in this game.
They will definitely rebound in the game. Naturally, under such circumstances, the Cleveland Cavaliers need to be fully prepared.
They cannot relax their vigilance because of the Miami Heat's previous sluggish performance. After all, the Cleveland Cavaliers are currently behind in the overall score, and the reason why they are behind is not just because of their own reasons. The Miami Heat's performance in the first two games is also something that people are very commendable.
So at this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers need to be more careful to deal with the Miami people's counterattack!
