671. determination(1/2)
After Kyrie Irving passed the ball to Wu Dawei, Wu Dawei, who was standing outside the three-point line, looked up at the current score.
105:106, the Cleveland Cavaliers have only one point lead. This is of course a very critical signal, but fortunately, there are only the last 50 seconds left in this game.
Wu Dawei did not launch an attack immediately, but stood there waiting for the passage of time.
At this time, the other Cleveland Cavaliers players were not idle, and everyone had already opened up singles for Wu Dawei at this time.
LeBron James stood in front of Wu Dawei, and he knew that this time's defense would be countless times more important than the previous few times.
If they can stop the Cleveland Cavaliers from getting points in this defense, the Miami Heat will be able to take the initiative in the last moment of the game.
So at this time, LeBron James, who was ready to defend at any time, was both nervous and excited.
He knew what success or failure of this defense would bring to this team, so at this time, LeBron James did not dare to take it lightly.
He did not rashly go forward to steal at this time. Although he knew that Wu Dawei was delaying the time, LeBron James also calmed down at this time.
He was waiting for Wu Dawei to take the initiative to attack because he knew that he could just defend his position at this time. Wu Dawei would probably not choose a three-point attack, after all, it was an overly risky choice at this time.
Unless there is an excellent opportunity, Wu Dawei will definitely choose a two-point offense. After all, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they still have a 1-point lead.
So of course Wu Dawei doesn't need to take risks. Even if he scores a two-pointer, it is still very likely that the Miami Heat will make a three-pointer in the next attack. However, at this time, Wu Dawei will of course choose a more stable way to attack.
After all, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, although the advantage of 3 points is not enough to guarantee that they will definitely win this game. However, choosing to bet on three points at this time is obviously an even more unwise choice.
After all, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, this game is definitely far more important to them than to the Miami Heat. After all, if they cannot win this game tonight, they will face the dilemma of falling behind 1:3.
This is definitely not something the Clevelanders are willing to face. So at this time, of course they still have to choose the safest way. Even if the Miami Heat score a three-pointer, they can still take the initiative in the game.
Because even if the Miami Heat equalizes the score, it will definitely leave some opportunities for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Even if the Miami Heat cannot get points for the remaining regular time.
The worst result is to enter overtime.
Even when entering overtime, the Cleveland Cavaliers have nothing to fear. After all, this is their home court. In their own home court, the home team will definitely have more advantages than the visiting team.
So at this time, Wu Dawei began to attack the paint area. The other Cavaliers players had completely opened up singles for him at this time, so Wu Dawei launched an attack on the inside without hesitation.
LeBron James naturally wants to follow Wu Dawei like a shadow at this time. As long as he can defend Wu Dawei's attack, he will give the Miami Heat a chance to take the initiative.
So at this time, LeBron James followed Wu Dawei tightly. The two of them once again had a physical confrontation.
However, at this time, unless it is an extremely obvious and malicious act, the referee will most likely not pay attention to it. So at this time, LeBron James's actions are of course just to do a little bigger.
When the scale becomes larger, Wu Dawei's breakthrough will certainly become more difficult. So at this time, he can only try his best to give himself a space to take action.
But under such a defensive intensity, LeBron James almost obeyed Wu Dawei to death. When Wu Dawei almost never got rid of LeBron James' defense, he now needs to complete the attack.
This must be a very difficult thing. No matter for anyone, it is a very difficult thing. After all, LeBron James's appearance is not an easy target to squeeze out.
Even Wu Dawei has a strong body and huge tonnage, but under such a situation, Wu Dawei was disturbed and wanted to throw the ball into the basket in his most comfortable way.
Of course it was very difficult. However, Wu Dawei finally chose to take action. After all, he didn't have many choices at this time. Others opened up space for him, and no one was running.
Moreover, Wu Dawei had almost exhausted the attack time limit before, so at this time, if Wu Dawei did not choose to take action, then his choice of passing the ball could be said to be a loss of the blame...
But the moment Wu Dawei took action, he knew that most of them would not be able to get in.
Because he had no feeling at all. So the moment he threw the ball out, Wu Dawei immediately tried to squeeze into the basket as soon as he landed, and he wanted to compete for the rebound.
At this time, LeBron James of course had an insight into Wu Dawei's movements. So with the advantage of his position at this time, he directly stuck Wu Dawei behind him.
The ball really hit the basket at this time. Although Wu Dawei almost threw the ball into the basket on the edge of the paint area, he still couldn't throw the ball into the basket. This was of course a big blow.
For the Cleveland Cavaliers, although they have a 1-point advantage, they cannot feel worried at this time.
Because when Wu Dawei missed the ball, the rebound was snatched by the Miami Heat.
At this time, there is still as much as half a minute left in the game. Although the Miami Heat will definitely leave some time for the Cleveland Cavaliers after the attack, the problem is that they will have a complete 24-second offensive time limit!
This is the most important thing, because the reason why the Cleveland Cavaliers feel so worried is that the Cleveland Cavaliers have hardly been able to curb the Miami people's offense at low posts in the fourth quarter.
When they made a two-pointer attack, the Cleveland Cavaliers were unstoppable to the opponent. This was the thing that made them feel most worried.
Because of this, even though the Cleveland Cavaliers have a 1-point lead at this time, they still feel worried.
After all, the opponent's offensive status tonight is also extremely hot.
When Chris Bosh helped the Miami Heat grab the rebound from the inside, the Miami Heat immediately requested a long timeout.
This is very likely to be their last offense in this game. For the Miami Heat, of course, they should be treated with caution.
Pat Riley knew that this was their only chance and it was also a chance to end the game! As long as they could throw the ball into the basket during the next attack.
Then it will definitely be extremely difficult for the Cleveland Cavaliers to complete an offense with little time left.
So at this time. For the Miami Heat, they now need to focus on preparing for the next attack. After all, this is their last chance in this game, and they have to seize it.
At this time, on the Cleveland Cavaliers, Wu Dawei was deeply feeling self-blame for his mistake in the previous offense.
Because in his opinion, he had an extremely chance to end the game with his own hands. But he never expected that what he got was such a situation that put the team in an extremely passive situation...
For the Cleveland Cavaliers, although they are still the leading side on the basketball court, it is obvious that they are the passive side at this time.
Because if the Miami Heat consumes all the offensive time and throws the ball into the basket, then the only thing left for the Cleveland Cavaliers is that they have disadvantages and a few seconds of offensive time.
It is not easy to throw the ball into the basket in just a few seconds. It is also extremely difficult for the Cleveland Cavaliers, even if they are the home side in this game tonight.
So at this time, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, the best thing they have to do is to be able to defend the Miami Heat's offense in the next game.
Wu Dawei naturally hopes that he can defend the opponent's next attack like LeBron James did before.
James had already scored 36 points at this time, and it was obvious that he would be the Miami Heat's first choice in the next place. So Wu Dawei knew that his chance to save him was of course here, it depends on whether he could seize it.
When the game returned to the pause and kicked off again, the Miami Heat served the sideline in the frontcourt.
The ball was first handed to Dwyne Wade's hands, and LeBron James was standing near the sideline at this time, and he was not in a hurry to get the ball or make other moves.
Wu Dawei followed LeBron James at this time. Because LeBron James was suddenly activated at this time.
After all, LeBron James, who scored 38 points at this time, is of course the number one enemy of the Cleveland Cavaliers in this offense.
His threat is definitely the biggest one, because the Cleveland Cavaliers have not been able to defend LeBron James once for almost the entire game.
So at this time, Wu Dawei, who is responsible for defending James, of course, must be more careful.
But in the next game, it seems that Dwyane Wade did not pass the ball to LeBron James. Miami Heat head coach Pat Riley seemed to use LeBron James as a restraining point in this attack.
Dwyne Wade made a single-block cover with Chris Bosh on the strong side, and then Wu Dawei was of course unable to participate because he had to defend LeBron James.
However, Dwight Howard and Kyrie Irving resolved the pick-and-roll of Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh well at this time.
Originally, DeWynn Wade had been waiting in the high position for a long time before and wasted a lot of time. Now he was defended all of a sudden and had no chance to be lazy, which made the situation of the Miami Heat very critical.
LeBron James is the last Miami Heat player to lose this game, so when he saw Dwyane Wade almost surrounded, LeBron James immediately ran towards him frantically.
Because Wu Dawei got stuck in the position, LeBron James almost ran out of the three-point line to Dwyane Wade and shouted at Wade while running over. Wade obviously saw LeBron James at this time.
So he also chose to pass the ball without hesitation. Wu Dawei pressed James tightly at this time.
But James still got the ball first. At this time, the Miami Heat's offensive time limit was almost gone. James had no choice but to throw the ball out.
Wu Dawei tried to block the block, but he did not touch the flying ball. In this way, he could only watch the ball fly to the basket...
Then, with a swish, the ball drilled into the basket!
108:106!
With the last 7 seconds left in the game, the Cleveland Cavaliers fell behind the Miami Heat by 2 points!
This made all the Cleveland fans in the entire Quick Loan Center stunned...
The situation of the game suddenly became very unfavorable for the Cleveland Cavaliers. After all, there are only less than 6 seconds left in the game at this moment!
The only good news is that the Cleveland Cavaliers have regained the ball...
The Cavaliers' head coach Byron Scott was also very depressed at this time, and he had to ask for a timeout at this time. Otherwise, 5 seconds would not even be enough for the Cleveland Cavaliers to dribble through half the game...
It can be imagined that if the timeout is not requested, the Miami Heat will definitely try to delay the Cleveland Cavaliers' pushing forward halftime without asking for a timeout.
Moreover, at this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers still need to arrange their tactics for the next offensive.
Being two points behind, the Cleveland Cavaliers have two choices. One is to shoot two points and the other is to shoot three points to finish the game.
Both options are risky, it depends on what choice the Cleveland Cavaliers make.
Of course, this is not just a problem for the Cleveland Cavaliers, but also a problem for the Miami Heat. Because in the next defense, the Miami Heat also has to face the issue of whether to focus on defending the Cleveland Cavaliers' inside or outside.
For Pat Riley, this is also a big and small postgraduate entrance examination. However, he didn't have much time to think, because the suspension ended soon.
The Cleveland Cavaliers and the Miami Heat both returned to the basketball court. Although Pat Riley did not know that the Cleveland Cavaliers would choose to attack the three-point line in this offense, or score two points. However, he knew very well that Wu Dawei must be the Cleveland's first choice.
So he asked LeBron James to follow Wu Dawei in an endless manner. After all, the Cleveland Cavaliers' offense this time is different from the Miami Heat's last offense.
They only have 5 seconds, so they can't pass too many times and play too many times to cooperate. They can only run the tactics before sending out the outbound ball.
Wu Dawei, who scored 42 points and 11 assists in this game, was obviously the Miami people's key target for defense at this time. With the referee's whistle, the ball was handed over to Beasley, who was standing outside the bounds.
After Beasley got the ball, he immediately went to find Wu Dawei's position. Wu Dawei of course also ran wildly at this time. He used the pick-and-roll of two teammates in succession and then rushed out of the three-point line. Beasley also passed the ball without hesitation at this time!
Just as Wu Dawei was about to reach out to get the ball, suddenly, LeBron James' big hands rushed out from behind him!
Wu Dawei was not prepared for this, and then he saw the ball being stabbed by James!
Neither of them was able to get the ball, but at this time Wu Dawei had the advantage of the geographical advantage. Seeing that the ball was stabbed, Wu Dawei hurriedly chased after him.
To be continued...
