When Wu Dawei passed the ball to Danny. After coming, Danny Green's shooting put the Houston Rockets in an extremely passive situation again, and James Harden's hasty three-point shooting exacerbated such a disadvantage.

But this is the offensive method of the Houston Rockets. Harden has unlimited fire and freedom on it, which is something that others cannot compare with. Sometimes he does bring miracles to the team, but more often it makes the team feel embarrassed...

The Cleveland Cavaliers got the rebound again, and Wu Dawei took the initiative to go over the ball with Dwight Howard. Then, Wu Dawei rushed to the frontcourt quickly. Although his speed was not top-notch, it caused enough lethality at this time.

The Houstons could not resist Wu Dawei's breakthrough. They watched Wu Dawei advance step by step through the half, and in their powerless expression, they dunked the ball into the basket!

The ball entered the basket and the score was rewritten, but it was even more unfavorable for the Houston Rockets.

9:4, the Houston Rockets, who played at home, could not play the form they wanted, and the Cleveland Cavaliers immediately took advantage of this opportunity to establish a leading advantage.

This situation made the Houstonian feel even more embarrassed, especially Chandler Parsons. Since the beginning of the game, he has not made any data yet. In addition, he cannot curb Wu Dawei's performance on the defensive end, so he feels that his role is almost negative!

You should know that the 9 points the Cleveland Cavaliers scored were all related to Wu Dawei. He scored 4 points by himself, and at the same time, he used two passes to assist his teammates to score 5 points...

The situation is very bad. The Houstonians themselves cannot make strong attacks, and at the same time, they cannot effectively curb Wu Dawei's performance, the core of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

This situation put the Houston Rockets in an extremely passive situation, and also gave the Cleveland Cavaliers a good start.

As the side of the away game, being able to perform like this is of course a very exciting thing for the Clevelanders.

After all, a very intense game had just ended before, and the Clevelanders would not want to continue playing another anxious game to consume them.

When the score of the game became 9:4, although Houston fans were very anxious, Houston Rockets head coach McHale was still looking like an old god at this time.

It seems that he is not worried about the team's situation at this moment, but in fact, as the game continues, the situation of the Houston Rockets continues to deteriorate.

After taking the lead, the Cleveland Cavaliers continued to maintain such a leading trend. They did not give Houston people too many opportunities and always firmly controlled the advantage of the game.

The gap in the score quickly became 15:6, and the Cleveland Cavaliers quickly expanded the score to nearly 10 points.

Such an advantage can bring more and greater confidence to the Cleveland Cavaliers who play away at this time. The Houstonians will obviously become frustrated in such a situation.

But for Houstonians, this will make them feel frustrated, but it will not make them feel desperate about this game.

Because the Houston Rockets have a big opening and closing game this season, they can sometimes fall behind and give their opponents more than 10 points. At the same time, they can lead their opponents more than 10 points at a certain moment while the opponent is unprepared.

They are such a team. So even though they were 9 points behind at once, the Houston Rockets still played very unrestrainedly in the game.

This young team is also in this regard, and it is slightly different from other teams.

So even though the Cleveland Cavaliers were leading by 9 points, they still didn't dare to take it lightly because they were afraid that the Houstonians would suddenly make an amazing attack, which would easily make them return in vain.

So in this case, even if the Cleveland Cavaliers have a 9-point advantage, they still have to maintain a sufficiently cautious attitude.

Otherwise, maybe what awaits them will be a cruel drama of being turned over.

They would not want to give up their advantage, not to mention that they would be in the opponent's home court, which would make the Cleveland Cavaliers' situation suddenly become extremely bad.

So whether on the offensive or defensive end, they maintain sufficient vitality and competitiveness.

Moreover, because Wu Dawei, the core of the team, performed extraordinaryly, after the Cleveland Cavaliers took the lead, although they must have to defend their opponents from counterattack. However, the pressure on them was not that huge.

Because it seems that Wu Dawei can always carry the entire team with his shoulders and continue to move forward!

This also made Wu Dawei more and more praised. After all, he was able to perform so well and was so steady. There were not many in the entire league.

As the most dazzling star in the league, Wu Dawei's current performance is strong enough. Among the 15 points the Cleveland Cavaliers have scored 8 points alone and sent 2 assists at the same time.

Basically most of the scores are related to him, and this alone is enough to make Houstonians feel a headache at this time.

At this time, it was obvious that Wu Dawei had not yet let such a state disappear, and he continued to perform amazingly. In this way, it would naturally make it difficult for the Houstonians to launch a counterattack horn in the first quarter.

After all, Wu Dawei's performance was so outstanding, and it also curbed the Houstonian's arrogance to counterattack. This situation is certainly not the picture the Houston Rockets want to see.

So finally, after playing most of the quarter, Houston Rockets head coach McHale finally requested a timeout at this time.

Although he is not a head coach who likes to request a timeout, at this time, he certainly cannot look at his team and is always suppressed by his opponents.

So he asked for a timeout to relieve the current pressure on the players on the field. After all, the situation is not very good now. For the Houston Rockets who play at home, they need to have a buffering time.

Otherwise, perhaps what awaits them will be the possibility of a huge difference in scores being directly scored by the opponent!

However, although McHale requested a timeout, after requesting the timeout, he was unable to lay out any effective defensive strategy.

Because he is not a head coach who is good at defense, what he emphasizes more to the players is the offensive situation.

For McHale, instead of talking about defense with these players who are not very good at defense, it is better to let them play a better offense.

Originally, the Houston Rockets had already formed such a style, and he himself was not a team coach who taught excellent defense.

So instead of talking about half-baked defense, wouldn’t it be better to talk about the offense to motivate them?

After all, the best defense is offense.

But obviously when the game restarted, the situation would not be as smooth as McHale thought. Because their opponent in this game tonight was the strength of the Cleveland Cavaliers. They had excellent offense and defense.

So if the Houston Rockets cannot play a very good offense, or have a balanced offense and defense performance, it will be difficult for them to get back in such a backward situation.

The game after the timeout is enough to illustrate this point. McHale's timeout not only did not play any role, but even played a counter-effect.

After returning from the timeout, the Cleveland Cavaliers continued to play smooth offense and tough defense, which left the Houston Rockets a little helpless.

They wanted to make a fast-paced attack, but the rhythm was never in their hands.

In this way, almost the entire first quarter game became a game for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

They began to take the lead, and at the same time, they continued to widen the gap with the Houston Rockets. This situation continued until the end of the first quarter!

Although Wu Dawei and others were substituted and rested after about 10 minutes of the first quarter, the Houstonian's decline was not curbed.

Their poor defense and inability to make extremely efficient and excellent offenses have always been in a passive situation!

This will make Wu Dawei and other players very relaxed at this time. They can also sit off the court and rest for a while.

However, after two minutes of rest between the festival, when the game started again and entered the second quarter, some reversals occurred.

After the first quarter, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who played away, led the Houston Rockets by 13 points with a away game of 32:19.

And when the second quarter started, the Houston Rockets played a very well-organized and rhythmic offensive and defensive performance, and they were slowly starting to eat away from the Clevelanders' advantages.

Such a situation will naturally make the Clevelanders feel worried. It will also make the core players of the team such as Wu Dawei, who is sitting in the chair, become nervous.

No one wants to see the advantages they have worked hard to build, and they are wasted like this!

So of course Byron Scott would seem particularly cautious at this time. After all, the team finally gained a slight advantage on the road. How could it be so easy to be caught up by the opponent?

Although several core members of the Cleveland Cavaliers, including Wu Dawei and others, were resting under the basketball court at this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers could not fall into a headwind situation again.

After all, the bench of this team has experienced three finals journeys, how can it be so vulnerable?

However, although the entire Cleveland Cavaliers team did not want to see such a situation, when Jeremy Lin came on the court, he organized the offense of the entire team, and his hard work on the defensive end also slightly led to the defensive attitude of the entire Houston Rockets.

As a result, the Houston Rockets began to slowly chase points. Although this situation made Houston fans at Toyota Center feel happy, the Clevelanders felt more and more anxious.

After all, for them, the Houstonian counterattack made them feel very uncomfortable. Especially when they saw the lead that they had finally established in the first quarter, they were eaten up by their opponents little by little. This feeling was not good at all.

Jeremy Lin effectively organized the team's offense, which made the Houstonians no longer fall into a mess. They began to effectively launch attacks, and at the same time, their performance on the defensive end also became active.

After all, the Houstonians' bench players are not Harden. They do not have the position of Harden in the team's head coach McHale.

So under such a situation, the Cleveland Cavaliers had finally obtained a 13-point lead in the first quarter, but in the blink of an eye, they were approached by the Houstonians to 5 points...

This situation forced Byron Scott to replace Wu Dawei on the court in advance. After all, the team still had to rely more on Wu Dawei's performance to build an advantage.

So after only two minutes in the second quarter, Wu Dawei re-emerged onto the court. However, when Wu Dawei came on the court, as the head coach of the Houston Rockets, McHale did not react at this time...

This is undoubtedly an amazing move. After all, Wu Dawei is the best star in the league, but McHale did not replace the corresponding starter for his appearance.

Even though Chandler Parsons' defense against Wu Dawei was not satisfactory in the first quarter, he was the best wing defender among the Houston Rockets.

But at this moment, he did not react at all.

Such a brainless reaction immediately made the score difference that the Houston Rockets finally caught up with was immediately widened again...

When Wu Dawei came on the court, he obviously continued his previous hot state, and the Houston Rockets had no way to do anything about him.

Therefore, after Wu Dawei came on the court, the score difference that Houston Rockets finally caught up with was immediately widened again...

The score suddenly became 42:33. Houston people burst into tears, and at this time, as the head coach of the Houston Rockets, McHale finally reacted...

He did not ask for a timeout, but chose to replace Parsons and Harden with the hope of regaining the team's previous performance.

However, it is obvious that such a substitution is very late at this time, because Wu Dawei has already made an amazing performance after he reappeared. However, it is difficult for the Houston Rockets to narrow and approach the gap in the score in such a situation.

Obviously this is because they missed the best opportunity before. At this time, it will be more difficult for them to continue to chase points like they did before.

Because with the appearance of James Harden, Chandler Parsons, Dwight Howard and other major starters of the Cleveland Cavaliers were also replaced on the court.

In this way, relying on Wu Dawei's outstanding performance in the lead, the Cleveland Cavaliers stabilized the situation. Next, they completely gained the upper hand and controlled the game situation. The Houstonians seemed a little powerless in such a situation.

It is obvious that the team's head coach Mike Hale's slow reaction made the Houston Rockets lose the best chance to chase points in previous games.

However, McHale doesn't care about this at all. He has been criticized for more problems this season, so he doesn't care about such one more.

What's more, the Houston Rockets' performance this season is still surprising enough, so McHale can still temporarily retain his coach position.

And after all, the game has not officially ended, so there is still a chance for McHale. Although he also knows that he missed an excellent opportunity before, his team may also recover the situation of falling behind in the second half of the game.

This is not impossible either.

However, no matter whether the Houston Rockets can recover the score, their situation at this time is indeed very bad.

The Cleveland Cavaliers not only expanded their leading advantage after Wu Dawei came on the court, but also firmly controlled such an advantage, which also made the Houston Rockets unable to do anything anymore.

At least at the end of the first half, the Houston Rockets were never able to get so close to the draw as they were at the beginning of the second quarter...

After the first half, the Cleveland Cavaliers who played away were already 15 points ahead, 61:46. The Cleveland Cavaliers completely gained the upper hand, while the Houston Rockets looked very decadent.

At least when the Houston Rockets players walked into the player channel, there was no expression on their faces smiling; while the Cleveland Cavaliers players felt relaxed.

In the first half, they were able to lead their opponents by 15 points, which made them feel that this was not a difficult game.

Perhaps they will also have a relaxing game, and at the same time they will win their eighth game straight.
