757.(1/2)
"Don't you guys play? When we were leading, we once opened the gap by up to 15 points, but look at it now? 49:57?"
In the locker room, **Vicci was very angry.
Obviously, he felt very dissatisfied with the team's performance in the second quarter.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the San Antonio Spurs locker room also became very dull under the anger of **Vic.
Everyone was so angry that they didn't dare to breathe. After all, **Vic looked extremely angry now. So at this time, no one was willing to touch his bad temper.
Everyone lowered their heads, only **Vicci was roaring angrily.
Compared to the angry **Vic, as the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Byron Scott was also in a very bad mood.
After all, no matter what, the Cleveland Cavaliers are the ones behind. But compared to Roaring Emperor **Vic, although Byron Scott was also not satisfied with the team's performance in the first half, he did not roar as crazy as the former.
He chose more about encouragement, after all, this is on the away game, and his opponent's strength is a very outstanding side.
Although the San Antonio Spurs have lost several times to the hands of the Cleveland Cavaliers, their opponents are not soft persimmons.
Naturally, at this moment, Byron Scott did not want to add pressure to the players, so he did not yell at the players for their performance.
However, even if he does not denounce the players, the Cleveland Cavaliers players will still feel dissatisfied with their performance in the first half.
As a team that has won the championship for two consecutive seasons, the entire team has also aimed to win the championship this season.
So as a major obstacle for the Cleveland Cavaliers to win the championship, the Cleveland Cavaliers naturally won't want to lose to them.
So even if Byron Scott roars, the players will feel guilty about their performance in the first half.
As for the second half of the game, both sides naturally had their own belief in winning the game at this time.
Whether it is the San Antonio Spurs and the Cleveland Cavaliers who play at home, they will make their final attempt in the second half of the game.
So when the fifteen-minute break has passed, the next game will undoubtedly become more intense.
After all, both the Cleveland Cavaliers and the San Antonio Spurs are unwilling to see such a situation and not make changes.
Both sides did not make any adjustments in the second half of the game. Neither the Cleveland Cavaliers nor the San Antonio Spurs made any adjustments.
Although San Antonio Spurs head coach **Vicci was not satisfied with the team's performance in the first half, he still did not make any adjustments.
Because he knew very well that this was his best lineup. And even if he was not satisfied with the team's performance in the first half, the team still gained a leading advantage.
So, of course, he will not easily change his starting lineup. As long as his starters can maintain their previous performance, the San Antonio Spurs will still have a great chance of winning in this game.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have always put their core lineup on the basketball court, so at this time, Byron Scott of course there is no place to adjust.
The second half of the game quickly kicked off, and for the Cleveland Cavaliers, the situation they faced was naturally still very serious.
They need to perform extraordinary performances in the next game to help them turn their disadvantages back in the second half of the game.
So at this time, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they naturally need to be more careful than the San Antonios.
Otherwise, what awaits them will be a bad result.
So after the second half of the game began, the Cleveland Cavaliers need to work harder to play a stronger performance than their opponents.
This is unquestionable, but after the second half of the game began, the ball rights were not in the hands of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Instead, the San Antonios took the lead in possessing the ball rights.
This gave the San Antonio Spurs the first chance after the start of the second half, and they can use this first ball to expand their lead to more than 10 points at this time.
So for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they will face a new challenge just after the second half of the game begins.
Of course they wouldn't want to see such a situation, bringing the game back to the first quarter, so at this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers need to do their first defense in the second half.
Tim Duncan is definitely the offensive core of the San Antonio Spurs. Although he is old now, his strength is still there and it is still a major challenge for the Cleveland Cavaliers in the interior.
Fortunately, Tim Duncan is not a huge problem for the Cleveland Cavaliers, because they have Dwight Howard in the interior.
So they were not particularly huge in defense pressure on the inside. At this time, when the San Antonio passed the ball to Tim Duncan, the latter was no longer Andre Valajo, but Dwight Howard came to defend the old guy himself.
Although Tim Duncan has a lot of experience, his physical fitness is already much worse than before, so at this time, for Dwight Howard, this is not a very uncomfortable thing for him.
After all, Dwight Howard is now at his heyday, and he won two championship trophys with Wu Dawei, and his experience is also very rich at this time.
So the latter is not so afraid of defending Tim Duncan.
The two were fighting in the inside, and the two sides fought from the beginning, but obviously Dwight Howard had a clear advantage in confrontation at this time.
Even if Tim Duncan is as old as a monster, he still has to accept his old age. Especially in terms of body, no one can resist the laws of nature.
So it was not difficult for Dwight Howard to resist Tim Duncan at this time. It was just that Tim Duncan had already passed the time to use brute force at this time.
He completed his first attack in the second half with a light hook, and after the hook, he also inserted the ball into the basket.
In this way, the San Antonio Spurs, who played at home, achieved their best start in the second half, and the score immediately became 49:59.
They also expanded the gap in the score to more than double digits.
This is of course very unfriendly for the Cleveland Cavaliers. So at this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers need to quickly repay the San Antonio people.
Otherwise, what awaits them will be the situation where the gap between the variance will continue to be widened. They will not want to make the already large gap, which is still widened to a more difficult gap to catch up.
So, when the Cleveland Cavaliers got the ball again, they swept over like a wind and clouds. The strongest and most powerful impact on the San Antonios' defense line began.
They certainly wouldn't let the San Antonios win the game easily, so at this time, Kyrie Irving faced Tony Parker's defense and used his speed to rush into the paint area.
Although the San Antonios' assisted defense and attack were very fast, at this time, although Kyrie Irving's advancement route was blocked, it was not able to stop Kyrie Irving's choice to pass the ball to his teammates at this time.
There is no doubt that Wu Dawei was naturally the choice made by Kyrie Irving at this time. The moment he broke into the inside, the opponent was unable to defend.
So Wu Dawei also found an opportunity at this time. He directly broke up with the opponent's formation in Kyrie Irving and chose to run to the wing.
At this time, when he received the ball, he was in a position that was more favorable to him. For Wu Dawei, he certainly could not miss this opportunity at this time.
So the moment he received the ball, Wu Dawei immediately chose to jump up and randomly threw the ball into the basket!
After Wu Dawei threw the ball into the basket very stably, it was of course good news for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Although they were unable to stop the San Antonio Spurs from getting a good start in the first offense in the second half, they also scored goals in retrospect.
This is a great thing, at least they will be widened to the double-digit gap again, narrowing to 8 points at this time.
51:59!
The Cleveland Cavaliers still have a chance, but obviously their situation is still passive. To reverse such a passive, it is absolutely impossible to just play well on the offensive end. The Cleveland Cavaliers need to do something on both offense and defense.
So they need to perform well on the defensive end.
This is the most critical point. Naturally, this wave of defense at this time is particularly critical for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
They need to be prepared on the defensive end and no longer let their opponents play as they please on the offensive end.
After all, this is the home court of the San Antonio Spurs, and now the opponent has such a huge lead. Everything is very unfavorable for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Naturally, under such circumstances, they need to be more cautious!
After all, the San Antonios are in an amazing state tonight, so at this time, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they must be careful.
After Tony Parker dribbled the ball through half this time, he did not choose to hand the ball directly to Tim Duncan, who was inside.
After all, Duncan is already very old and cannot always maintain his physical fitness, so the San Antonios should save his physical strength as much as possible.
Tony Parker chose his own offense, and he relied on pick-and-roll to score a jump shot from the middle distance of the high position.
A bad defense, at least Cleveland Cavaliers coach Byron Scott thought so. When he saw Parker throw the ball into the basket, he felt extremely depressed.
Because this is not what he wants to see, at this time, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, their situation has become worse again.
Because when Tony Parker threw the ball into the basket, the Cleveland Cavaliers continued to be widened by the San Antonio Spurs.
When the score gap becomes double digits again, this is certainly a very bad thing for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Because this is not what they thought during the break, they don't want to always lag behind and give their opponents a double-digit gap. It's a very bad thing to play.
So at this time, of course, they will feel annoyed.
They hope to regain the initiative in the game, but if this continues, the Cleveland Cavaliers will definitely not succeed.
However, the ball rights were back in the hands of the Cleveland Cavaliers at this time, and they didn't have time to do too many regrets.
Because they now need to consider how to narrow the gap in the scores, and this attack is a new beginning.
Wu Dawei chose his own attack again. After Kyrie Irving controlled the ball and passed half, he handed it directly to Wu Dawei who reached out to him for the ball.
When Wu Dawei got the ball, the situation he faced was that Kauwai Leonard stood in front of him.
But Wu Dawei was not afraid at all. After he received the ball outside the three-point line, he chose to throw the ball towards the basket in a blink of an eye!
He didn't even look at the Kovay Leonard in front of him. This action surprised and surprised countless people.
No one expected that Wu Dawei chose to shoot like this. But the fact is that when Wu Dawei threw the ball into the basket, Kauwai Leonard had no reaction at all.
When he realized it, the ball had already flew out of Wu Dawei's hand. In a blink of an eye, it plunged directly into the basket!
The Cleveland Cavaliers scored a three-pointer at this time!
This is a great thing, for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
54:61!
The gap in the score instantly turned into 7 points, which was a great momentum. For the Cleveland Cavaliers, they need to continue,.
However, when Wu Dawei threw the ball into the basket, the situation facing the Cleveland Cavaliers next was how to curb the San Antonio attack in the next defense.\
This is the most critical factor in whether the Cleveland Cavaliers can quickly catch up with the score gap, because for the Cleveland Cavaliers, their offense feels very good at this time. The question is how they will face their performance on the defensive end.
To be continued...
