The Cleveland Cavaliers took a 11:6 lead at the opening game, which is undoubtedly great for their prospects in this game.
Among them, Wu Dawei contributed 7 points in these 11 points. There is no doubt that he is the person who made the most contribution to this wave of offensive by the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Of course, in addition to this, Dwight Howard's offense and defense in the interior are also important. As mentioned before the start of this game, the Cleveland Cavaliers are completely an enhanced version of the Charlotte Bobcats.
Whether in the inside or outside, the Cleveland Cavaliers are not only in balanced offense and defense, but are also completely stronger than the Charlotte Bobcats.
This was also reflected at the beginning. The Cleveland Cavaliers have always had the advantage in the game from beginning to end, and this is completely irreversible to the Charlotte Bobcats.
Although they tried their best to overtake the score in the game, the gap in strength always made them seem extremely disadvantageous in the game.
After all, the strength of the Cleveland Cavaliers is much stronger than the Charlotte Bobcats, so it is a relatively difficult thing for the Charlotte Bobcats to surpass the Cleveland Cavaliers in such a situation.
At least it is not easy for the Charlotte Bobcats to do this, but after all, the game has just begun. Although they are completely in a passive state, the Charlottes will still try hard at this time.
Because for them, if they cannot get a good start in the series away, it will be difficult for them to win the final surprise in this round of series.
After all, the Charlotte Bobcats still hope to go further in the playoffs, rather than going home in a series.
Although this possibility should be relatively high, the Charlotte Bobcats certainly hope to fight hard before it happened.
After all, a good start that will surely be a mortal, will occupy a very important position in this round of the series.
So although the Charlotte Bobcats were behind and gave their opponent 5 points, the 5 points actually doesn't seem to be much different.
For the Cleveland Cavaliers, of course, they also knew very well that such an advantage was not very big at this moment. Although the Charlotte Bobcats were not good at offense and were better at defense, they could still catch up quickly at this time.
If you want to have a more stable advantage, you should naturally widen the gap in the scores, which is very important.
So at this time, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they need to continue attacking, but first of all, the Cleveland Cavaliers need to defend first.
Because the ball rights came to the Charlotte Bobcats at this time, and Kemba Walker quickly dribbled the ball through the half, for them, of course they needed to make a good attack at this time.
After all, the opponent's strength is very strong. If the Charlotte Bobcats cannot hold the score tightly at this time, then the later stage of the game, the situation they face will become more and more serious.
So at this time, they are of course a favorable side for the Cleveland Cavaliers, while the Charlotte Bobcats are becoming extremely critical.
The situation is unfavorable, at least for the Charlottes. So this time the Charlotte Bobcats need to succeed.
They need to continue to narrow the gap in the scores and cannot be opened up by the Cleveland Cavaliers without restrictions.
So of course they had to do their best in this attack. Kemba Walker continued to feed the ball to Al Jefferson at the low post.
Although the latter was blocked by Dwight Howard once before, he scored twice. So at this time, Al Jefferson's inside singles were also their best choice.
When Al Jefferson held the ball, Dwight Howard naturally met him. He did not hesitate at all. After all, he didn't want to watch Al Jefferson keep scoring goals in front of him.
Although Dwight Howard once blocked him, he was also shot twice by Al Jefferson.
However, this time, although Dwight Howard was willing to block Al Jefferson's projection again, he was not able to succeed.
Al Jefferson threw the ball into the basket again, which was not a good thing for Dwight Howard.
However, at this time he also had to accept such a thing, because Al Jefferson did score three goals on his head.
In this way, the score also became 8:11. Although the Cleveland Cavaliers are still the leading side, there is one thing that is, the Charlotte Bobcats are undoubtedly catching up very urgently.
Although they were at a disadvantage and disadvantage in this game, no one was optimistic about their prospects in the competition with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
However, for the Charlotte Bobcats, not giving up is their most important thing, and they must persevere under such a disadvantage and passive situation.
Otherwise, the only thing waiting for the Charlotte Bobcats is failure, and if you persist, it may not necessarily mean that the Charlotte Bobcats will definitely become the failure side.
After all, the score difference is only 3 points now, and for the Charlotte Bobcats, they still have a good chance of catching up with such a disadvantage in the game.
So at this time, for the Charlotte Bobcats, they will certainly do their best.
After the Charlotte Bobcats scored another goal in the paint area by Al Jefferson, the next thing they need to do is to do their own defense.
For the Cleveland Cavaliers, this situation is not particularly beneficial to them, and their opponents are chasing each other and making them feel a little nervous and worried.
Fortunately, their performance on the offensive end of this game is pretty good, so they don't need to worry too much.
Wu Dawei held the ball again at this time. After all, he felt very good at the beginning of this game tonight, so it was obviously the best choice to hand over the ball to Wu Dawei at this time.
Of course, Wu Dawei would not let such a responsibility be missed at this time. He has already scored 7 points, more than half of the score the team got at this time.
So Wu Dawei must take on such a responsibility at this time.
When Wu Dawei held the ball, Maikiji, who stood in front of Wu Dawei, felt a little uneasy. He had been beaten by Wu Dawei in a row and successfully attacked.
This is undoubtedly a huge blow to his self-confidence on the defensive end, and he will continue to suffer a blow in the future.
Because the game has just begun not long, this is a more tormenting place. For Maikiji, he naturally encountered great problems.
After all, Wu Dawei has scored continuously, and Wu Dawei has won the ball again next, which is naturally a huge test for Maikiji, who is responsible for defending him.
And this test will make Maikiji feel very uncomfortable, because Wu Dawei is stronger than Maikiji in terms of strength and speed.
It can even be said that in terms of strength, it is necessary to crush Maikeji's existence. This is the most uncomfortable thing for Maikeji.
Not only did he not be able to defend Wu Dawei from the inside, but he also felt an incomparable headache for Wu Dawei's sudden arrow from the outside.
Because he couldn't defend, he almost became a colander after the opening. This is how he feels about himself defending now. For a young man, such a feeling is not good news.
This will make him lose his confidence. After all, this is the self-confidence he finally built up, but at this time he will be deeply shattered by Wu Dawei.
This time, Wu Dawei still chose to attack the basket. When he got the ball, Wu Dawei did not make any other choice. Instead, he directly launched an attack.
This naturally made Maikiji feel a little helpless again. He hurriedly went up to meet him, but he was no match for Wu Dawei at all.
The moment the two of them collided on their bodies, Maikiji immediately fell into a disadvantage.
He was completely unable to compete with Wu Dawei. He was almost pushed away when he collided, and Wu Dawei rushed into the paint area under such a situation.
Once Wu Dawei rushed into the paint area, the situation of the Charlotte Bobcats will immediately become extremely critical.
Wu Dawei's speed was very fast and naturally rushed, and he was unstoppable. At this time, Al Jefferson could only bite the bullet and greet him.
He stood in front of Wu Dawei's path forward, and indeed blocked Wu Dawei's progress, but his colleagues at this time also forced him to give up Dwight Howard, who was responsible for defense.
Wu Dawei was indeed blocked by him at this time, but after he blocked Wu Dawei, Wu Dawei directly chose to pass the ball.
He didn't give Al Jefferson a chance to go back. The ball was thrown directly into the sky by Wu Dawei, and Dwight Howard jumped up immediately at this time.
Another aerial relay, which is a very exciting offense for the Cleveland Cavaliers!
Dwight Howard roared and threw the ball into the basket. The ball entered the basket, and at the same time rewritten the score again. The score became 8:13, and the Cleveland Cavaliers still kept the score gap at 5 points.
For the Cleveland Cavaliers, they must first stabilize their position and prevent their opponents from easily catching up with the score gap at this time.
Then slowly consider expanding the score advantage. After all, the game has just begun. Although the Cleveland Cavaliers are leading, they won't kill their opponents in one go.
So at this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers still need to remain vigilant enough. Now they say that the score gap remains around 5 points, and the next step is to work hard to prepare on the defensive end. The Cleveland Cavaliers will usher in the attack from the Charlotte Bobcats.
Al Jefferson was undoubtedly the first attack point of the Charlotte Bobcats at this time, because he had already scored 3 goals under Dwight Howard's defense.
So at this time for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they must strengthen their defense in the paint area at this time.
Otherwise, if they let Al Jefferson ask for it in the paint area, the situation they faced at this time would not be so optimistic.
Even though they were at home and had the lead in the score, they still couldn't stop the Charlotte Bobcats from catching up.
Because the Cleveland Cavaliers were unable to defend the inside core of the Charlotte Bobcats, Al Jefferson. Originally, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Dwight Howard was in the inside, which undoubtedly helped the Cleveland Cavaliers easily solve this problem.
But obviously, it seems that this is not an easy task now. Because when Dwight Howard faced Al Jefferson's attack four times, he only successfully blocked the opponent's projection.
This time the blocking was Dwight Howard's only successful defense. Under such circumstances, Al Jefferson had already made 3 of 4 shots at this time.
He scored 6 points alone, the second highest scorer in the game, and the vast majority of the Charlotte Bobcats scored.
This alone is enough to make the Cleveland Cavaliers feel very uncomfortable during the game, because they can never stop the Charlotte Bobcats' inside attack. As a result, although they have an advantage in the game, they are always unable to hold the opponent under them.
And the situation of going back and forth is not what the Cleveland Cavaliers expect to see. Although they have firmly grasped the lead at this time, if the score gap is not widened, no one knows what will happen in the next game.
After all, everything is not final before the game ends, so for the Cleveland Cavaliers at this time, although they did a good job on the offensive end, they obviously need to do better on the defensive end.
Because just offense, you will definitely not be able to completely win the game in the playoff level. So at this time, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they must truly play a balanced performance in offense and defense.
This is a particularly critical thing. For the Cleveland Cavaliers, if they cannot play better, then they can only win this game by relying on their own hard strength.
But such a victory is obviously not something like the Cleveland Cavaliers, which has already won 74 consecutive games in the regular season this season.
Although they hope to win their first game of the playoffs at their home court, they certainly wouldn't want their start so hard.
They are not only going to get a good start, but they also hope to achieve a refreshing victory!
The Cleveland Cavaliers not only want to win games, but also want to win beautiful things. So of course, the Cleveland Cavaliers need to do better on both offense and defense.
However, it is obviously a relatively difficult thing for the Cleveland Cavaliers in this game tonight.
Because it's not just their performance on the offensive end. At the same time, although their opponent, the Charlotte Bobcats, were still unable to defend the Cleveland Cavaliers' offense, their performance on the offensive end was indeed a headache for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
After the offense and defense transition, the Charlotte Bobcats handed the ball to Al Jefferson again. However, although the Cleveland Cavaliers paid attention to their defense in the paint area at this time, Al Jefferson still threw the ball into the basket with a very fast hook.
Such a situation made them feel very uncomfortable. For the Cleveland Cavaliers, they watched the score be chased.
This feeling made them very unhappy. Although they were still the leading side on the basketball court, they could never get rid of the opponent who was like a nasty candy behind them, which really made them feel bad.
The opponent's performance at the opening of this game tonight was obviously more tenacious than the Cleveland Cavaliers expected.
In addition, Al Jefferson's offensive state is simply a mess, and it is always difficult for the Cleveland Cavaliers to completely widen the gap in the score at this time.
Now that the Cleveland Cavaliers cannot completely widen the gap in the score, the situation they face will not get better.
Although they are always the leading side, they cannot fully establish their advantages at this time. If they are not careful, they may be caught up by their opponents, and this always lingers in their minds like ghosts.
When Al Jefferson threw the ball into the basket again as if he had a help from God, the score gap was narrowed again, which also hit Dwight Howard some self-confidence, but not only Dwight Howard, this is not good news for the entire Cleveland Cavaliers.
