Kemba Walker held the ball at a high position. Although this game is particularly important to the Charlottes, it seems that they have no special arrangement for this game.[
In the first offense after the opening, Walker and Al Jefferson played pick-and-roll at a high position, which was their usual trick, and the Cleveland Cavaliers were also prepared for this.
After having a very successful defense against Kemba Walker in the last game, Byron Scott decided to let Wu Dawei defend Kemba Walker in the future.
After all, Kyrie Irving is not a good defensive player anyway. So at this time, instead of letting Kyrie Irving waste his energy on the defensive end and fail to achieve any good results, it is better to let Wu Dawei stand up.
Originally, Wu Dawei was a defensive person, so his defensive ability didn't need to be said. Don't give the award for the best defensive player in two consecutive seasons. Wu Dawei's performance against Kemba Walker in the last game was enough to be convincing.
Under Wu Dawei's defense, Kemba Walker's performance was completely different from the previous two, and it was also an important reason why the Charlotte Bobcats collapsed immediately.
So at this point, for the Charlotte Bobcats, when they saw that the person standing in front of Kemba Walker was Wu Dawei, they would inevitably be a little worried.
Not to mention that others are Kemba Walker himself, he couldn't help but feel worried when he saw this situation.
Wu Dawei's ability is not to be said, and his performance in the past two games is amazing enough. Of course, what Kemba Walker remembers most is not Wu Dawei's outstanding performance on the offensive end.
It is the fact that his performance in defending himself in the last game was what made Kemba Walker feel most frightened.
After all, for the Cleveland Cavaliers at this time, the situation they face is naturally better, and as the core of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Wu Dawei's mentality at this time was also extremely relaxed.
Of course, Kemba Walker can't compare this anyway, so the mentality of the two people is of course very different at this time.
So at this time, the mentality of both sides is different. Naturally, their performance on the basketball court will definitely be somewhat affected.
Kemba Walker was not determined at all at this time, and finally chose to pass the ball out against Wu Dawei.
To be honest, this is not the result that Wu Dawei wants to see the most, because for him, of course, he still hopes to defend Kemba Walker's first offense.
After all, in this way, the Cleveland Cavaliers can regain their initiative at the beginning, which is something they are willing to see.
So at this time, for Wu Dawei, he certainly hopes to face Kemba Walker's attack directly rather than letting his teammates face the attack of the Charlotte Bobcats.
After all, Wu Dawei has full confidence, and others may not be able to do it on the defensive end. Kemba Walker chose to pass the ball to Maikegee.
This is the player Wu Dawei originally faced. At this time, Kyrie Irving was standing in front of him. Although Maikeji was a newcomer, he was still full of attacks when facing Kyrie Irving, who was a little shorter than him.
Obviously, Maikiji, who was suppressed by Wu Dawei for two games, was undoubtedly angry in his heart.
So at this time, he naturally needs to make a good move. After all, this is also the first home game for the Charlotte Bobcats this season's playoffs. The young Maikegee also hopes that he can show off his skills in front of the home fans.
Not long after Maikegee received the ball, he immediately launched an attack on the basket. In his opinion, although Kyrie Irving is also an All-Star player and has won the All-Star MVP trophy this season, he has made no achievements in the defensive end.
So at this moment, when he faced Kyrie Irving with the ball, he had no fear in his heart.
Of course, Kyrie Irving would not have thought that he had become a broiler in the eyes of the Charlottes at this time, but when he saw Maikegee preparing to attack, Kemba Walker still tried his best to start defending.
After all, the first defense at the beginning was also extremely important for the Cleveland Cavaliers' trend in this game. Kyrie and Irving are still very clear about this.
So at this time, his defense naturally had to be all his strength. And Maikiji's idea of attacking the basket at this time was also extremely firm.
The two of them immediately collided at the moment when Maikiji launched an attack. Whether it was Kyrie, Irving or Maikiji, they were unwilling to be taken advantage of by the other party at this time.
However, it was obviously Maikiji who was suppressed by Wu Dawei in the first two games and had the upper hand at this time, because he was tall and strong, not something Kyrie Irving could fight against in terms of physical aspects.
So he quickly gained an advantage and rushed all the way to the paint area. Since Mike Roberts and Al Jefferson ran up to do pick-and-rolls for Kemba Walker, the Cleveland Cavaliers' paint area would also appear relatively empty at this time.
The momentum was instantly achieved by the Charlottes, and this is definitely not good for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Maikige directly defeated Kyrie Irving, and then chose to throw the ball towards the basket on the top of Kyrie Irving's head.
After the ball entered the basket, it naturally followed the entire Time Warner Arena and everyone cheered for it.
Because the Charlotte Bobcats did score at the beginning in this highly anticipated game.
0:2, the Charlotte Bobcats took the lead, and for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they were behind from the beginning, of course it was not good news, not to mention that they were still the disadvantaged side in this game.
Naturally, this will make them passive. For the Cleveland Cavaliers, the booing of fans will definitely have some impact on their performance on the basketball court.
So at this time, of course, the Cleveland Cavaliers must overcome such an impact. Because only in this way can they perform more normally in the next game.
No matter how indifferent the Cleveland Cavaliers are, they are always at a disadvantage at this time.
Moreover, the absence of people supporting them on the road battlefield will make the Cleveland Cavaliers feel lonely at this time.
If you continue to fall into passivity and disadvantages, then it will naturally make the Cleveland Cavaliers feel a little isolated.
So the next attack became extremely important. Although Kyrie Irving had just been forced to single by Maikegee, when he dribbled the ball through half the game, he immediately chose to hand the ball over Wu Dawei.
Although he is a superstar in the league, Kyrie Irving still respects Wu Dawei very much in the team.
This is why until now, there have been no rumors of internal strife between the Cleveland Cavaliers. The team keeps winning and is in such an atmosphere, and everyone is in a very good mood.
So he had no unpleasant thoughts at this time, and when Wu Dawei received the ball, Maikiji still stood in front of Wu Dawei.
Although the Charlotte Bobcats used Mike Roberts to defend Wu Dawei in the last game, the effect was obviously extremely bad.
So at this time, the Charlotte Bobcats changed the defense again. Although they were well prepared for this game, they did not seem to have much change.
Because Maikiji was still allowed to defend Wu Dawei, and then after Wu Dawei broke through, he used several assisted defenses to try to stop Wu Dawei's attack.
The Charlotte Bobcats have done this in the past two games, but the results are minimal or even ineffective.
Because Wu Dawei scored a total of 90 points in two games, such a terrifying score shows how outstanding Wu Dawei's performance in these two games is.
So at this time, Wu Dawei was not worried about Maikiji standing in front of him. He had extremely sufficient confidence in his attack. So at this time, of course, he launched an attack without hesitation.
For the Charlottes, Wu Dawei's offense has always made them feel a headache, so the moment Wu Dawei launches an attack, it will definitely make the Charlottes feel a headache.
Wu Dawei quickly broke through Maikiji's defense line. Then he continued to cut in, but what surprised him a little was that when Wu Dawei rushed in, he did not encounter assisting defense.
Al Jefferson almost looked at Wu Dawei throwing the ball into the basket. The ball into the basket, and Wu Dawei also helped the team to equalize the score gap.
However, Wu Dawei seemed full of doubts about the Charlottes' reaction. Because he didn't understand why the Charlottes had no reaction to his attack. Did they just plan to ignore it?
But no matter what, no matter how confused Wu Dawei was, he threw the ball into the basket at this time, and the ball rights naturally had to return to the Charlottes' hands.
In this game tonight, the Charlotte Bobcats may have really played at their home court, so they seemed extremely excited from any aspect.
After all, for them, this game may be the only chance. Of course, the Charlotte Bobcats must do their best to defeat the Cleveland Cavaliers in this game.
When they took the lead at the beginning, they naturally would not be willing to watch Wu Dawei get the score at this time to tie the score. Next, they naturally have to fight back.
Kemba Walker assisted Al Jefferson at this time, and indeed helped the Charlotte Bobcats who played at home, widening the gap in the score at this time.
Although the score only turned 4-2, sometimes almost none, it still made the Charlotte Bobcats fans very happy.
.The advantages are not many, but they are still considered to be a big and small advantage. So at this time, for the Charlottes, they will certainly feel very happy about this.
The Cleveland Cavaliers definitely wouldn't think so. After all, they are the ones who are behind, and in the past two games, they have been the ones who have been the ones who have been the ones who have been the ones who have been the ones who have been the ones who have been the ones from the beginning.
Such a situation will undoubtedly make the Cleveland Cavaliers feel very unhappy. Although it is not a huge trouble, it will also cause them trouble.
They didn't want something like this to happen, but now that's how it happens. For the Cleveland Cavaliers, of course, they felt very uncomfortable.
After all, for them, the situation should not be like this. In the previous two games, they won the game without any obstacles.
However, the current situation is not that gratifying.
This is not something the Cleveland Cavaliers are willing to see in this game, so although there are not many behind at this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers still do not feel happy and happy.
Because in their opinion, they should be a team that is far better than the opponent's strength. Naturally, how can they be beaten by their opponents in the game?
So at this time, for the Charlotte Bobcats, what they need to do is naturally think carefully about how to help their team gain the upper hand in the next game.
This is what the Cleveland Cavaliers are thinking at this time, and for the Charlotte Bobcats, they are of course very satisfied with the start.
Although the gap with the Cleveland Cavaliers has not been widened, it is the leading side after all. In this regard, it is very different from before.
So, of course, Charlotte's fans are very happy about this. Although the advantage is not great, they may be turned back at any time, but they are still ahead of the game.
And their lead will naturally make the Cleveland Cavaliers feel extremely distressed. At this time, both Wu Dawei and other Cleveland players have such an idea.
Because the opponent gained a leading advantage after the opening game, no matter what, this is something that the Cleveland Cavaliers cannot deny at this moment.
For them, of course they did not expect that in this game, they would be given a first win by their opponents.
This is really different from the previous two games. So of course the Cleveland Cavaliers will be unacceptable for a while. However, there are not many behind. It was just the beginning, so for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they are not very anxious.
After all, their strength is there, and it is not something the Charlotte Bobcats say they can defeat it if they want to defeat it, so at this time, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, the most important thing in the away game is to be patient.
This is especially true for the Cleveland Cavaliers at this moment. After all, they are already behind now. If they act arbitrarily, they may have worse results.
What's more, the situation is not particularly bad now. Although they are behind, their scores are just fine.
They believe that their strength can always surpass them. So at this time, even as the backward side, the Cleveland Cavaliers players do not feel particularly worried.
Wu Dawei continued to hold the ball after halftime, but he still faced Maikiji's defense. With the last experience, he certainly had no worries for Wu Dawei at this time.
And now Wu Dawei is not only not worried, but he still has some expectations. Because the other party did not have any idea of double-teaming Wu Dawei last time, this made Wu Dawei have the idea of hitting the basket again at this time.
After Wu Dawei held the ball at this time, he certainly would not hesitate to face Maikeji. He once again rushed into the paint area.
And Maikiji was undoubtedly still completely unable to stop Wu Dawei's offensive. However, even so, after Wu Dawei broke through Maikiji's defense, the Charlotte Bobcats still did not choose to come and help Maikiji defend Wu Dawei.
It can be said that this is too late once, and if you choose this twice in a row, you will undoubtedly reveal a message to Wu Dawei.
That is, the Charlotte Bobcats may have decided to not defend against Wu Dawei in this game. This situation is undoubtedly what the Detroit Pistons once defended Michael Jordan in the playoffs, and the Eastern Conference teams in the 2001 playoffs did against Iverson.
The purpose is to cut off the connection between Wu Dawei and his teammates. Although Wu Dawei will definitely be able to play well in this way, the game will be 48 minutes after all, and if 48 minutes are used to play singles.
Not to mention whether the success rate will decline in the later stage, at least on the defensive end, it will prevent Wu Dawei from concentrating as before.
But at this time, Wu Dawei put the ball into the basket, which helped the team equalize the score again.
At least for now, Wu Dawei is still very adapted to such a situation. However, such a defensive strategy will certainly not have any very severe and bad effects in the initial stages. Everything will still be based on what kind of results will be produced in the later stage of the game. (To be continued...)
