650. The situation becomes clear
The Cleveland Cavaliers took half a quarter to take a double-digit lead. This is an inspirational thing for them.
Although the Miami Heat immediately launched a counterattack in the following game. They tried several times to launch a counterattack to end the Cleveland Cavaliers' dominance at home, they eventually returned in vain.
Relying on the inside restraint that Dwight Howard played in this game tonight, the Cleveland Cavaliers were blooming at multiple points on the outside.
First, Wu Dawei relied on Dwight Howard's restraint and scored three consecutive goals, and once again forced Pat Riley to make adjustments in his defensive strategy.
It is not just Dwight Howard who needs to double-team the ball when he takes the ball. If Wu Dawei forces the ball to break through and attack, the Miami Heat will also implement a strategy of pincer attack!
And when the Miami people have two opponents on the defensive end that they need to attack, more loopholes will appear in their defense. Even if they try their best, even if their rotation speed is the best in the league.
But after all, a person's movement speed cannot be comparable to a ball!
Wu Dawei also began to attract pincer attacks and then began to pass the ball. Although the Cleveland Cavaliers are Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard's team, this team is not just a team with superstars. They are also a team that is willing to share the ball rights.
In the 12 games that have passed this season's playoffs, Wu Dawei averaged 28 points, plus 8 assists and 9 rebounds. In terms of assists per game in the playoffs, Wu Dawei is the best in the No. 3 position, in addition to being a little worse than those top organizational guards.
Even compared with LeBron James, who is also well-known for his comprehensiveness, Wu Dawei will not be at a disadvantage at all.
So if even the core of the team is willing to share the ball, the tone of the entire team will be laid out in this way. So in such a team, the Cleveland Cavaliers will certainly not have too many situations that will keep the ball from stagnating.
In the entire first quarter, although the Miami Heat hoped to catch up with the lagging point difference as soon as possible, it would obviously not be an easy task.
Because when Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard, the two core players of the Cleveland Cavaliers, performed well, the Miami people always missed the other on the defensive end.
Moreover, their performance on the offensive end has not improved much, which gives the Cleveland Cavaliers more opportunities to open up the score.
So overall, the situation is always bad for the Miami Heat. If they want to win this game, they have to face a much worse situation than they had imagined before the game began.
Because the Cleveland Cavaliers played so well at the opening game, they firmly suppressed the Miami Heat who played away. So at this time, it was not easy for the Miami people to turn around and make a decision.
However, they did not give up. LeBron James tried several times to lead the team to launch a counterattack, but it did not achieve good results.
The Cleveland Cavaliers took a double-digit lead in the first quarter.
17:27, the Miami people have never been able to win back the score since they were caught off guard at the beginning. Of course, this will make them even more anxious. But being anxious is useless.
After all, the Cleveland Cavaliers' state in this game tonight's game is not comparable to their performance in the first two games.
So at this time, the Miami Heat encountered a very huge difficulty. Although they still hoped to win this game tonight, the current situation was not on their side.
The double-digit disadvantage was behind in the first quarter, which was definitely not good news for the Miami Heat. LeBron James was furious when he was replaced by the team's head coach Pat Riley in the first quarter.
Even when the caddie handed him clothes, he looked angry. LeBron James, of course, is not just because the team's current situation is very bad on the basketball court, but also because the Cleveland fans on the sidelines became even more excited at this time...
The fans of the Cleveland Cavaliers were originally very dissatisfied with what LeBron James said before the game. Now they are naturally even more dissatisfied with him.
So when the Cleveland Cavaliers took a double-digit lead at the end of the first quarter, how could Cleveland fans miss such a great opportunity to taunt LeBron James?
So during the two minutes of rest between the two quarters after the first quarter, LeBron James sat on the bench. Even though the team's head coach Pat Riley was making a loud arrangement of tactics, he still couldn't hide the ridicule of Cleveland fans for him.
This naturally made him feel extremely irritable, because he never thought that he would be so embarrassed in this game tonight.
Perhaps it was because the Miami Heat won both games in the previous two games. This also made the Miami people somewhat confident. After all, they could not imagine that they could still get such a huge lead in this round of series.
Because the Miami Heat once fought with the Cleveland Cavaliers in the playoffs. The Miami Heat, which has the Big Three, finally lost.
So they all had the best and worst plans to welcome this round of the series, but what no one could imagine was that the situation made them feel unexpectedly good!
The Miami Heat won the advantage of the total score of 2:0 in the first two games, which will naturally make them somewhat proud in the next game.
After all, before this round of series began, more people were optimistic about Miami Heat's opponent Cleveland Cavaliers, and they also laughed at the Miami people for this.
But after two games, the situation was completely reversed. The Miami Heat had completely gained the upper hand, which would make them a little relaxed.
However, at this moment, the Miami people, who had been psychologically relaxed for a whole period of competition, were completely awakened by the double-digit score gap between the two sides in front of them!
So at this time, not only LeBron James felt angry, but even Pat Riley, as the team's head coach, was also very dissatisfied with the players' performance.
Although Pat Riley could accept it even if he lost this game. But now the game is only in the first quarter, and the score difference is only 10 points. Naturally, he couldn't give up because of this.
So of course he hopes that the players can continue to work hard! If he can defeat the Cleveland Cavaliers who play at home in this game, then it will be basically a foregone conclusion that the Miami Heat will win the game in this round of the Eastern Conference finals!
Of course, he would not want to see the players playing so sluggish and decadent in this game. He was behind in the first quarter and gave the Cleveland Cavaliers a double-digit gap. If he continued to leave it alone, then what would be better next!?
So of course he has to strictly demand that the players perform in this game, and they cannot be depressed like this anymore. Although this game is a game that can be lost for the Miami Heat, it does not mean that they can easily give it to the Clevelanders!
So at this time, for the Miami Heat, they need to regroup. The two minutes of rest between the festival is their best chance.
So at this time, Pat Riley hopes that the players can stop repeating the same mistakes in the first game. Because he doesn't want to continue to see the gap in the scores being widened...
But this is what the Cleveland Cavaliers players want to see at this moment. Because for them, the importance of this game is far more important than that of the Miami people.
Although the Cleveland Cavaliers led the Miami Heat with a double-digit lead after the first quarter. Even so, Byron Scott, the team's head coach, was still not very satisfied at this time.
Because in his opinion, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who played at home in this game tonight, were originally capable of playing even better!
Of course, at this time, he still shouted loudly at the players, hoping that they could usher in the second quarter between the two sides with more fighting spirit.
Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard usually won't play in the second quarter. However, at this time, Byron Scott let Wu Dawei board the court just at the beginning of the second quarter.
Because Wu Dawei was replaced by Byron Scott in the ninth minute of the first quarter before, so at this time, Wu Dawei's physical strength was also replenished.
At this time, the Miami Heat led the team was Dwyane Wade. Because LeBron James almost played the first quarter, the Miami Heat head coach sent Sean Bathir to play against Wu Dawei.
Of course, the Miami people would not completely expect Battier to defend Wu Dawei. Chris Anderson's lessons were still vivid in my mind. They just hope that Sean Battier could give LeBron James more rest time.
After all, LeBron James has played one quarter in a row before, so it is impossible to expect him to not have a minute to play half-games in a row.
Even if he could beat him up, it was unknown whether his condition could be maintained. So at this time, Pat Riley could only arrange it like this.
When LeBron James is not present, Dwayne Wade will lead the team to continue to move forward in the second quarter. This is equivalent to becoming a battle with Wu Dawei, the boss of his former team.
The second quarter kicked off again after two minutes of rest between the festival. The Miami Heat's ball rights, Dwyne Wade, was naturally the undisputed leader of the Miami Heat.
After halfway through Norris Cole dribbled the ball, he immediately chose to hand the ball over to Dwyne Wade. Wade held the ball at a high position, but the person who defended him was not Wu Dawei.
Although Wade is the attack arrow of the Miami Heat, the Cleveland Cavaliers cannot let Wu Dawei take charge of defending Dwayne Wade at this time.
After all, the situation of the Cleveland Cavaliers is still very good. Instead of letting Wu Dawei devote more energy to defense, it is better to use him to play more advantages on the offensive end.
After all, the upper hand side now is the Cleveland Cavaliers who play at home, so there is no need for them to be more cowardly when facing the Miami Heat at this time.
The one who should be cowardly should be the Miami Heat. Because they are currently behind the double-digit gap. If they don’t think of some solutions quickly, they will lose control of this game!
Even now, the Miami people are no longer able to take the initiative. So the Miami Heat should be anxious now, and the Cleveland Cavaliers can sit on the double-digit lead and watch the Miami people try to use to save the defeat.
However, judging from their only 17 points of firepower in the first quarter, it is obvious that their condition in this game tonight is much worse than that in the previous two games.
Naturally, in such a situation, the pressure on the Cleveland Cavaliers players in the second quarter would not be as nervous as the beginning of the game.
After all, the situation of the game is slowly becoming clearer. As long as they can maintain their state in the next game, it will be very difficult for the Miami Heat to win this game away!
So at this time, the pressure is of course on the Miami side. Dwyne Wade holds the ball and faces the defense of veteran Anthony Carter at a high position.
He didn't dare to attack rashly, because there was no ball right now, which is very critical for the Miami people! (To be continued...)
Chapter completed!
