630. It all depends on Wu Dawei
The next attack of the San Antonio Spurs is very critical. At this time, if the San Antonio Spurs cannot score, they will leave the Cleveland Cavaliers with a chance to catch up with the score.¢£
The score gap of 72 to 55, 17 points is still very large, but the previous scoring momentum of the Cleveland Cavaliers made the San Antonio Spurs not dare to take it lightly at this time.
Fortunately, in the next attack, the San Antonio Spurs learned a lesson. They did not let Wu Dawei block their attack anymore. Tony Parker used Tim Duncan's high pick-and-roll and chose a jump shot.
The ball entered the basket and the score became 74-55. For the San Antonio Spurs, Tony Parker's goal this time was obviously very critical.
Not only did it widen the score gap again to 19 points, but it also made the San Antonio Spurs coach Vicky breathe a sigh of relief.
After all, in the previous game, the Cleveland Cavaliers' momentum to catch up with the score was indeed a matter of making **Vict worry about his team.
However, at this moment, watching the team throw the ball into the basket once on the offensive end, for San Antonio Spurs head coach **Vic, he would naturally breathe a sigh of relief at this moment.
However, the ball rights have come back to the hands of the Cleveland Cavaliers. For **Vicci, he is still very concerned about the situation on the basketball court.
Because at this time, he also hopes that his team will not only perform well on the offensive end, but also hopes that they can perform amazingly on the defensive end.
After all, for the San Antonio Spurs, although they have a 19-point lead, at this time, if they can perform outstandingly on both offense and defense, then it is of course the best thing to do.
It is also what they expect. So at this time, if the Cleveland Cavaliers' attack can be completely curbed, then it will naturally be the best thing.
Kyrie Irving still chose to hand over the ball to Wu Dawei to deal with it. Although Wu Dawei performed poorly in the first half, after the start of the second half, Wu Dawei has now scored 6 points and 2 assists. All the 10 points the Cleveland Cavaliers scored in the second half are related to Wu Dawei.
Of course, people can see that Wu Dawei's condition has recovered in the second half of the game; it's just that because the San Antonio Spurs' lead at this time is too big, people don't pay special attention to this.
That's why people don't feel anything about it. But for the Cleveland Cavaliers, this is very good news.
Of course, they need to grasp such a situation and hand over the ball to Wu Dawei, which is the best thing to do.
After all, in the previous series of offensive ends, Wu Dawei also helped the Cleveland Cavaliers to continuously score goals.
So at this time, in such a crisis, the Cleveland Cavaliers naturally have to believe in their team's core and leader. Even though his performance in the first half was like a piece of shit, at this time, the Clevelanders still had to believe Wu Dawei's performance unconditionally.
At this time, Wu Dawei also responded with a three-pointer!
He first tried to break through, and then was surrounded by the San Antonio Spurs outside the paint area; then Wu Dawei quickly turned around and finally decided to try a three-pointer!
The ball jumped into the basket. It was not so smooth, and it almost jumped out of the basket, but the ball eventually got into the basket.
The score also became 74 to 58!
This is the power of a three-pointer. Just a three-pointer made the Cleveland Cavaliers instantly chase the gap to 16 points.
**Vic was relieved by the team's goal before, but in a blink of an eye, the head coach of the San Antonio Spurs became anxious.
Not long after the second half of the game began, Wu Dawei scored 9 points with a shooting and sudden shooting alone, and also sent two assists.
All the Cleveland Cavaliers' scores in the second half were related to Wu Dawei; although this seemed not to be taken seriously at this time, because everyone was staring at the score.
But for **Vicci, who always pays attention to Wu Dawei, he became alert in his heart.
Because he knew that he could not let such a thing go without regard for it. Even if he didn't scold the players for their inaction on the defensive end, he should at least warn the players and let them take some precautions.
After all, they have established such a huge lead in this game, and there is no reason to be turned around by their opponents at this time.
So when Wu Dawei made this three-pointer, in the shocked eyes of most people, **Vic chose to request a timeout.
On the basketball court, as a player who directly matched Wu Dawei, Kauwai Leonard obviously had the most intuitive feeling and understanding of Wu Dawei's performance in the second half.
So at this time, he inevitably felt a little discouraged about Kauwai Leonard; although he had good restrictions on Wu Dawei in the first half, in the blink of an eye, when the second half of the game came, the situation became completely different.
When Kauwai Leonard walked down, he looked up at the technical statistics of the large ceiling screen above the stadium.
Wu Dawei scored 9 points quietly; you should know that at the end of the first half, he still didn't score a single point and performed extremely badly.
But now, in just a blink of an eye, he scored 9 points and took out 2 assists, which was something that Kauwai Leonard felt unacceptable.
However, although Wu Dawei's performance in the second half of the game has recovered, the current situation is that the San Antonio Spurs, who are playing away, hold the absolute initiative.
So **Vic's suspension will undoubtedly make many people feel that it is a bit abrupt.
Because in the eyes of most people, Wu Dawei just made a three-pointer, and **Vic's reaction was so huge that he was a little too nervous.
"Mr. Vicci is so careful. They still have a 16-point advantage now. There is no need for the San Antonio Spurs to feel so nervous."
Kenny Smith was also surprised by **Vicci's choice of suspension at this time; and Charles Barkley, who was sitting next to Kenny Smith, finally spoke after shutting up for so long.
"That may not be true. **Victz obviously saw Wu Dawei's performance on the basketball court. Since the start of the second half, Wu Dawei has scored 9 points. This is definitely a dangerous signal for the San Antonio Spurs! **Victz's request for this timeout was very timely. Obviously, he felt the crisis from Wu Dawei's recovery."
However, Charles Barkley's statement was obviously impossible to allow Kenny Smith, who was sitting next to him, to agree with it.
"Come on, Charles. Although Wu Dawei's performance in the second half has improved a little, the Cleveland Cavaliers are still 16 points behind the San Antonio Spurs!"
Obviously, Kenny Smith didn't think so, but for **Vic, that's the case.
After fighting against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the last game, **Vic learned a truth, that is, the most important part of the game against the Cleveland Cavaliers is Wu Dawei.
Wu Dawei's performance has always been the barometer of the Cleveland Cavaliers' game. If he can perform well, no matter how bad the performance of other players is, the Cleveland Cavaliers will have hope of winning the game.
But if Wu Dawei's performance is not good, the situation of the Cleveland Cavaliers will be very critical.
So at this time, for **Vicci, what he has to do is to limit Wu Dawei's performance as much as possible in the next game.
He can't score so unscrupulously like he did at the beginning of the second half.
This is a very bad signal for the San Antonio Spurs who want to be the winner in this game tonight.
So no matter what, for **Vicci, he hopes that his team can limit Wu Dawei's scoring in the game he will come down.
This is also what he said the most to the players when he was suspending. After returning from a one-minute timeout, for **Vic, the first thing he needs to worry about is whether the team can continue to maintain such a high-intensity offensive state in the next game.
Because of the first attack after returning to the basketball court, the San Antonio Spurs missed, and their shots failed, leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers with the opportunity to catch up with the score.
At this time, how could the Cleveland Cavaliers easily miss such an opportunity? For them, if they can catch up with more score gaps in the third quarter as much as possible, then the Cleveland Cavaliers will have more chances of turning around.
So at this time, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they certainly have to seize every hard-won opportunity.
The ball was once again handed over to Wu Dawei after being led by Kyrie Irving; at this moment, Kauwai Leonard seemed to have the feeling of fighting Wu Dawei in the last game.
Although Wu Dawei has only scored 9 points so far, it is very different from his performance at the same time in the last game.
So at this moment, in fact, it is not necessary for Kauwai Leonard to be so nervous, but for no reason, Kauwai Leonard felt nervous about this at this moment.
Obviously, the whole reason for this is because Wu Dawei's performance in the last game brought a shadow to Kauwai Leonard.
Although he had previously restricted Wu Dawei very well in the first half, such a shadow was buried deep in the heart of Kauwai Leonard, this did not completely disappear.
Now, when Wu Dawei once again showed his success, the shadow that Kauwai Leonard was buried in his heart seemed to emerge again.
This is not good news for the San Antonio Spurs, because Kauwai Leonard is the main force in defending Wu Dawei. If he retreats timidly when fighting Wu Dawei, then for the San Antonio Spurs, their defense is easy to be full of loopholes in front of Wu Dawei.
However, at this time, although Kauwai Leonard thought of the bad things in the last game, at this time, he still stood firmly in front of Wu Dawei.
No matter what, Kauwai Leonard made Wu Dawei worried on the offensive end in the first half.
In addition, he scored 12 points tonight, so at this time, he suppressed those bad ideas and vowed to defend Wu Dawei's attack at this time.
Especially his sudden shots from outside the three-point line!
Before, Wu Dawei made one. Now, Kauwai Leonard will not let Wu Dawei make the second one again!
He would not be the kind of guy who could be slaughtered by others. For Kauwai Leonard, although Wu Dawei is indeed an insurmountable mountain, he does not have the grandeur of this mountain.
So at this moment, he stood firmly in front of Wu Dawei, and Wu Dawei certainly did not want to shoot a cold arrow like the last attack.
He still has to choose to force his breakthrough in the inside line. After all, such an opportunity to chase points is hard-won. Wu Dawei didn't know how he felt tonight. He couldn't make too many representations in the previous three-pointers.
After all, even if you can't shoot three-pointers, you may be able to get one in the game; and at such a critical moment, how dare Wu Dawei rely on it?!
So it's better to be down-to-earth. Although the three-pointer at this time will definitely help the Cleveland Cavaliers catch up with the lagging point difference.
However, 2-point shots are more stable, so Wu Dawei still plans to force his breakthrough into the inside line!
After all, he had already forced his breakthroughs through the inside several times in a row, so he was quite confident about this.
So Wu Dawei had almost no hesitation. He directly chose to break through the inside line. At this time, Kauwai Leonard naturally tried his best to suppress Wu Dawei's performance.
But when Wu Dawei broke through, although Kauwai Leonard did his best at this time, he still could not stop Wu Dawei from advancing.
Because of the gap in physical tonnage, Wu Dawei could easily break through Kauwai Leonard's defense line and break into the inside line without using any skills.
But at this moment, when Wu Dawei rushed in, he was completely blocked by his opponent. This is because during the previous timeout, as the head coach of the San Antonio Spurs, Vicci, particularly emphasized the issue of how to defend Wu Dawei.
So at this time, when the San Antonio Spurs players saw Wu Dawei rushing in, they naturally rushed forward without hesitation, trying to stop Wu Dawei from continuing to move forward.
Soon, Wu Dawei was stopped near the edge of the paint area, and at the same time, Kauwai Leonard also quickly followed.
For Kauwai Leonard, no matter what, he could not give up on defense at this time, so he followed Wu Dawei tightly and tried to stop his every attack, although such a process seemed to be becoming increasingly difficult at this time.
But for Kauwai Leonard, he had a reason to persevere. So at this time, when Kauwai Leonard saw his teammates helping him stop Wu Dawei, Kauwai Leonard posted it as soon as possible, but at this time, Wu Dawei had already begun to choose to pass the ball.
He did not hesitate at all, because Wu Dawei, who was double-teamed at this time, knew that it would be even more difficult for him to score, so choosing the pass at the first time was obviously the best choice.
The ball was assigned to Andrew Valacho's hands. When Tim Duncan saw him in the open space on the sideline of the paint area, he immediately rushed forward because the former was obviously ready to shoot.
But this was a fake shot and the ball was hung high into the paint area, crossed Tim Duncan's head, and flew directly into the sky above Dwight Howard.
How could the latter waste his teammates’ hard work on making balls for him at this time? He jumped up and in just one minute, he performed an air relay performance for the second time!
For the San Antonio Spurs, when Dwight Howard flew in the air in their paint area again, the whole San Antonio Spurs were not in such a good mood.
Especially as the team's head coach, although this offense was not completed with Wu Dawei's assist, it is obvious that if Wu Dawei had not attracted double teams before, it would be very difficult for the Cleveland Cavaliers to throw the ball into the basket during this offense.
.So it is obvious that everything depends on Wu Dawei's performance at this time. Just like this game tonight, if Wu Dawei's performance improves, the Cleveland Cavaliers' victory in the game will be even greater.
