555. The Strategies of One and the Other
The fourth quarter game is the shared expectations of the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Miami Heat, and both sides hope that they can become the final winner of this game.
So during the break between the festivals, the head coaches of the two teams arranged a lot of things very carefully and tediously at this time.
Both sides knew that the next twelve minutes of the fourth quarter would be the last game tonight.
As for whether you can take away the victory in this game, it depends on the performance of the teams on both sides in the 12 minutes of the last quarter.
The score gap is only a very small 2-point gap, whether it is for the Cleveland Cavaliers who play at home or the Miami Heat who play away.
Both sides actually have their own opportunities at this time. The 2-point gap is nothing in the fourth quarter, such as a 12-minute game time.
But at this time, the Miami Heat, who is also behind the road, are definitely more nervous about the whole team now than the Cleveland Cavaliers.
LeBron James's extremely outstanding performance in this game tonight is undoubtedly an important reason why the Miami Heat can still maintain their chances of winning and hope at this time.
After three quarters, LeBron James alone contributed 44 points to the Miami Heat. Such an outstanding performance is also an important reason why the Miami Heat can not lose its disadvantage at this time.
If it weren't for his outstanding performance, the Cleveland Cavaliers would have long since opened the score gap between the two sides and became the other side that won the game.
So LeBron James made an indelible contribution at this time. Pat Riley, as the head coach of the Miami Heat, was naturally very happy about this.
Although not long after the game started, LeBron James did not play the game according to the tactics he arranged before the game, LeBron James felt very angry at that time.
But obviously time has passed. LeBron James' successive performances are far more effective than all tactics.
It is precisely because of his outstanding performance that the Miami Heat can fight tonight with the Cleveland Cavaliers until now.
If it weren't for him, the Cleveland Cavaliers might have won this game in the Quick Loan Center tonight.
Of course, at this time, for Pat Riley, if he wants to win this game, he must be counting on LeBron James.
I hope that LeBron James can continue to perform and perform in the fourth quarter, which is what Pat Riley most hopes to see at this moment.
Only in this way may the Miami Heat be able to truly grasp the hope of winning this game in the next fourth quarter.
But Pat Riley knew that LeBron James alone might not be enough, after all, LeBron James contributed 44 points to the team in the previous three quarters. It can be said that he has done his best.
But even so, the Cleveland Cavaliers are still the leader in this game after the third quarter.
This made Pat Riley feel very distressed, and this also shows how outstanding the Cleveland Cavaliers are in this game tonight.
If LeBron James had not had this outstanding performance, the Cleveland Cavaliers would have been sure to win now. So at this time, Pat Riley was very clear in his heart. If the Miami Heat wanted to play a better and better performance than the Cleveland Cavaliers in the last quarter, then they would never be able to rely on LeBron James' personal performance.
They also need other people's performance to find a glimmer of opportunities in the fourth quarter. This is an extremely important point.
For the Miami Heat, they now have to use their lives to win the fourth quarter to have the hope of winning, and LeBron James alone has proved a lot of the previous three sisters' games, at least very difficult.
Because Wu Dawei, who faced LeBron James in the game, also had excellent performance and performance in this game tonight.
This is unquestionable. After all, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, if Wu Dawei had not performed well, they would not have been able to have such a terrifying performance in the opponent's core performance. They still have an advantage in the game.
So in fact, when the Miami people were nervously deploying their tactics in the last game, the Cleveland Cavaliers were also nervously doing the same thing.
No one wants to lose the final victory. After all, both sides have already fought for this, and it is inevitable that the bayonet will be successful.
No matter who it is, I hope I can be the party who bleeds less.
However, compared to the Miami people who played away, the Cleveland Cavaliers' situation is obviously better than the Miami Heat.
Wu Dawei scored 35 points in his personal score after the third quarter, and at the same time, he also gave away 8 assists.
Such a performance also prompted the Cleveland Cavaliers' inside core Dwight Howard's offensive performance in this game tonight. After the three quarters, Dwight Howard also contributed 19 points and 17 rebounds to the Cleveland Cavaliers' inside core after the end of the three quarters.
The combination of Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard, the inside and the outside is undoubtedly the key to the Cleveland Cavaliers being able to maintain their lead in this game tonight.
This is extremely important. If it weren't for LeBron James's extremely explosive personal performance, the Cleveland Cavaliers would undoubtedly be able to dominate the victory or defeat of this game tonight with their performances in the three-quarter games between Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard.
This is an important reason why they feel very confident in the next fourth quarter. Although the Miami Heat have LeBron James in an extraordinary state, the Cleveland Cavaliers' own side, Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard are both problems that the opponent cannot solve.
This alone. Byron Scott, who was once a player under Pat Riley, had to be more confident than his former head coach.
He believes that his team can not only win a big victory in the first game, but even in the second game, the Cleveland Cavaliers can still win the final game even if they face an opponent in a better shape.
When the two-minute break has passed, the fourth quarter will naturally begin officially, and the score will still start from 88 to 86.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are at home and they will have the first ball to play in the fourth quarter. For the Clevelanders who have not actually had such a good life in the entire third quarter, this ball is very important.
Because they can directly open up the score gap between the two sides, this is too important for the Cleveland Cavaliers at this moment.
However, Wu Dawei did not play at this time. He sat off the court to rest. In the first three quarters of this game tonight, Wu Dawei took a total of 2 minutes off, which means that he had already played for 34 minutes at the end of the three quarters.
Physical strength will naturally be affected, so Byron Scott certainly would not want to use Wu Dawei's to be tired for the sake of safety.
After all, there is still the last moment to play in this game tonight. It is impossible to decide the winner at once at the beginning of the fourth quarter. The final winner will be held until the final stage of the fourth quarter.
For the Cleveland Cavaliers, there is no need to overdraw the team's core physical fitness at this time. No matter what, they are the ones who have to have the advantage in this round of the series.
So they don't have to rush, and this is not the case for the Miami Heat. After all, they are not only the disadvantaged side in this game, but also in this round of the series, now they have become the disadvantaged side.
For the Miami Heat, they can no longer consider too much physical fitness and other things. Compared with the Cleveland Cavaliers who play steadily, they can now say that they have to take one step before calculating the next step.
Not only for Pat Riley, but also for LeBron James, a core player in the Miami Heat.
Last summer, the ultimatum LeBron James was especially willing to forget, so he had to win the game at all costs.
At this moment, this is their best opportunity for the Miami Heat. So no matter what, LeBron James doesn't want to sit under the basketball court to rest.
Compared to Wu Dawei, who is not so cramped, LeBron James is undoubtedly the one who is more anxious. Moreover, Wu Dawei is not here now, which gives LeBron James a good opportunity.
Now the Miami Heat is only 2 points behind. If LeBron James can help the Miami Heat catch up or even overtake the score gap at the beginning of the fourth quarter, then the Miami Heat will undoubtedly be able to quickly rewrite the bad situation they are facing in this game.
So when he thought of this, LeBron James naturally became even more excited. He had no choice but to be excited. Seeing Wu Dawei sitting off the court, this was something he wanted.
Of course, the Cleveland Cavaliers had thought of this problem, so although Byron Scott did not let Wu Dawei play, Dwight Howard was still left on the basketball court at this time.
The team still needs to maintain a main offensive point when Wu Dawei is out. As the inside core of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Dwight Howard is undoubtedly capable of this position and task.
For the Cleveland Cavaliers, although they have an advantage, they must not underestimate the opponent. As the team's head coach Byron Scott is very clear about this.
Byron Scott is very clear about the reason why LeBron James and his Miami Heat can stick to this point. So under such a situation, he dare not take it lightly.
Byron Scott would never do such a thing that is absolutely doomed. Although he has won two consecutive championships, Byron Scott is very clear about what it means for a team head coach.
That would make him comparable to those legendary coaches in the history of the league. As a famous player, Byron Scott did not achieve too brilliant personal achievements. Now, as the head coach of a team, Byron Scott knows that he is approaching the peak!
So how could he easily face such an opportunity? For Byron Scott, he also hopes that one day he can become a highly respected head coach like Pat Riley standing on the other side of the court.
Even... it's beyond him!
So at this time, he must allocate the players' physical fitness more reasonably. After all, compared to the Miami Heat, the Cleveland Cavaliers are far from dead end.
So they don't have to be as crazy as the Miami people, but at this time it may not be a test for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Because Wu Dawei's rest on the court means that no one in the Cleveland Cavaliers can compete with LeBron James for the time being. And referring to the latter's outstanding performance in the first three quarters, Byron Scott even knew that under such a situation, the team's situation would actually be more critical.
But no matter what, he has to survive this period of time. Byron Scott understands that Wu Dawei is already very tired in this game tonight and needs time to take a breath.
And now, I have to buy Wu Dawei such a time to take a breath!
So after the fourth quarter starts, the Cleveland Cavaliers must withstand the pressure. For Byron Scott, his requirements for the players after the start of the fourth quarter are to try to slow down.
You must control the rhythm and make the game go very slowly. Unless you have a very good opportunity to attack quickly, otherwise you will all take it slowly.
First, this can delay time, and secondly, it is more conducive to handing the ball to Dwight Howard, allowing the latter to play more singles at low positions.
As we all know, Miami's inside strength is so weak that Dwight Howard can fully hit them with the ball at a low post.
In any case, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they must not have any impulse now! Because once they are impulsive, they may ruin their efforts throughout the night tonight.
This is definitely not what they want to see. For the Clevelanders, this is a home game. How could they allow themselves to lose the game at home?!
But LeBron James won't care about this at this time. For him, when the fourth quarter starts, he will definitely try his best to win the team in this game.
.They must win this game tonight, especially now, LeBron James understands very well that this is an excellent opportunity!
Seeing Wu Dawei sitting off the court, he knew that the best chance for him and his team was at this moment, so he also understood why at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who played at home, suddenly slowed down the pace of the entire game by abnormally.
They looked orderly and leisurely, but LeBron James knew that this was actually because of their lack of confidence.
They were delaying their time and wanted to delay Wu Dawei's rest! But they would never let the Clevelanders' conspiracy succeed!
Because once the opponent succeeds, he will definitely recover a lot of physical strength after Wu Dawei appears again, and at that time he will definitely become even more tired.
As one goes up and down, Miami people will slowly watch themselves lose this game...
So for LeBron James, this thing is something that he absolutely cannot tolerate, and he must react to it.
So at the beginning of the fourth quarter, LeBron James took the initiative to press the ball holder, and he showed a very oppressive style of playing!
This will of course double the pressure the Cleveland Cavaliers are facing now, but in fact, the Cleveland Cavaliers players are certainly prepared for this.
They did not panic all of a sudden because of this, and the team remained calm enough, and the offense was naturally continuing.
However, the situation does not seem so good in the eyes of all Clevelanders. Sitting off the court, Wu Dawei's heart is also very concerned about the situation on the basketball court.
LeBron James' performance in this game tonight made him feel like he was facing a big enemy. Naturally, Wu Dawei would also be worried that when he was resting, James would perform against the sky to directly take away his team...
