From the beginning, the two sides fought hard to distinguish. On Christmas Eve, the Celtics, who had just ended their 14-game winning streak by the Orlando, seemed to have not been affected by the defeat in the last game. In this game, several important players in their team were in good condition. On the other hand, Wu Dawei, who was highly anticipated by local fans in Cleveland, also continued his recent good condition at the beginning.

The performance of both sides in the first five minutes made the game anxious, but overall, the Celtics are still slightly ahead. Ray Allen was in excellent form tonight, and it wiped out the bad luck of the previous game. The only reason why the Celtics were able to take the initiative.

Junzi Lei made two shots in the first five minutes, and his shooting points were outside the three-point line. The Cavaliers only made one three-pointer in the first five minutes, but they had not made a shot yet. This was the slight lead.

15:13.

The leading Bostonians started the lineup adjustment first, and Shaquille O'Neal was replaced by head coach Doug Rivers, and the replacement of him was another center player who declared Feeh, Jermaine O'Neal.

This summer, the Celtics introduced two O'Neals in a row, which made many fans imagine. If the Miami people formed the unprecedentedly powerful Big Three, fans were looking forward to their future; then, when the Boston people gradually became nursing homes, fans lamented that it would be great if these people were ten years younger...

Shaquille O'Neal, Jermaine O'Neal, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen... Let's stop fantasizing...

O'Neal Jr. made Valaijo's burden much lighter. After all, no matter how famous O'Neal Jr. is, it is much smaller than Shaquille O'Neal's tonnage...

This substitution is just a small episode of the game. The game started again soon, and the exchange of the two O'Neals did not have much impact on the trend of the game. After all, they are no longer the ones who killed all the people at the beginning of the millennium. Their injuries and old youth have made them go further and further with their former selves.

Jermaine O'Neal could not even carry Valaijo behind him, and in the past, this situation would never have happened when he was the Pacers' boss.

The tremors of Wu Dawei and Paul Pierce are still the focus of attention in this game. Wu Dawei scored 4 points in a row at the beginning, showing his good offensive end tonight. At the same time, on the defensive end, Wu Dawei's oppressive and strong defense also made Paul Pierce not score yet.

But the Celtics bloomed more often, which made Pierce’s burden much lighter. After all, he is already a veteran who is close to the end of his career. Pierce actually doesn’t value this so-called showdown. The only thing he cares about most now is to win another championship at the end of his career!

But the young Wu Dawei is different. Young people are full of vitality and are naturally competing for every goal. Wu Dawei seems very active on both offensive and defensive ends.

When the substitution came back, the Bostonians missed a quick offensive, and the Cavaliers got the chance to equalize the score. Valaijo, who grabbed the rebound, passed the basketball to Wu Dawei who had already run towards the frontcourt at the first time. Wu Dawei did not slow down at all after getting the ball.

He rushed towards the frontcourt. Paul Pierce was running slowly and slowly could not keep up with Wu Dawei's fast pace. When Wu Dawei rushed into the three-point line of the Celtics' half, only O'Neal, who had not run over the half before, was in front of him.

Facing O'Neal, who was plagued by injuries, Wu Dawei was not afraid of the opponent at all. He dribbled in and then jumped up directly against O'Neal. Although Wu Dawei's bounce has always been top-notch in this league, facing O'Neal, who was unable to jump up on the ground, Wu Dawei threw the ball very easily in the inside.

Facing the fierce Wu Dawei, O'Neal, the moment Wu Dawei jumped up, just stretched out his long arm to make a defensive move, and he no longer looked like a domineering king before.

Time drives people to grow old.

When many Celtics fans saw Wu Dawei blatantly scoring a layup in front of O'Neal, they couldn't help but feel a little emotional and sighed. The cruel reality and O'Neal's weak knees told them that fantasy can only be fantasy after all.

Wu Dawei once again helped the team equalize the score. He was in excellent condition on the offensive end tonight. He made three shots so far without missing out!

When the offense and defense were changed, Wu Dawei faced Paul Pierce's attack on the defensive end, and he did not underestimate the enemy because Pierce had no score in the match against him so far. The last time the two sides fought, Pierce left a deep impression on Wu Dawei.

Wu Dawei, who was fully focused and his almost defiant prediction ability, this time, Wu Dawei not only successfully restricted Pierce on the defensive end again, but also grabbed the ball from the opponent!

After Pierce had a stalemate with Wu Dawei at the top of the three-point line for a few seconds, he suddenly swung the ball to the right, and then held the ball and broke through a straight line to the inside. Just when Pierce finished the first move, Wu Dawei leaned over and poked, and the basketball was no longer under Pierce's control.

This is an excellent interception. Compared to Wu Dawei, when he got the ball and rushed to the frontcourt again, Pierce couldn't turn around at all, but Lei Allen, who desperately returned to defense, still caused some trouble for Wu Dawei. As a last resort, Wu Dawei passed the ball out while rushing into the opponent's inside.

Williams followed up and got the ball, completing a jump shot from mid-range.

The score was overtaken, which was already the second assist from Wu Dawei in this game. But Cleveland fans didn't have time to cheer for this overtake, and the tenacious Bostonian tied the score again.

The two sides were almost the rhythm of the first quarter. Despite the duel in the third position, Wu Dawei currently has a clear advantage, with 6 points, 2 assists and 1 steal, and has not missed the shot, making Wu Dawei's condition look good both offense and defense! Paul Pierce still has not scored yet.

However, Pierce's sluggishness did not put the Celtics in much dilemma. This team blossomed at multiple points. Relying on the performance of the whole team, it maintained the entire team's operation on both offense and defense. The performances of Ray Allen, Garnett and others made up for Pierce's sluggish state.

The Cavaliers rely on Wu Dawei's performance. This team is good at starting from defense, and defensive counterattack has always been their core tactics this season. As the best defensive player in the team, Wu Dawei will often act as such a converter from defense to offense.

Every time Wu Dawei successfully steals or blocks the opponent's attack, he can always make the most efficient counterattack at the first time, because he is an outside player and most of the opponents he faces attack from the outside.

In this way, when Wu Dawei successfully snatched or blocked his opponent's shot or dribble, the moment the offense and defense were converted, the rear army became a pioneer, leaving him in an excellent offensive position at once.

This has always been the core tactics of the Cavaliers, and the other 29 teams in the league understand this very well, but they have no choice but to say about it. Because Wu Dawei's defense is a difficult problem for them, they can't let their outside stars give up their offense when they face Wu Dawei's defense, right?
