638. The Rhythm of Cleveland
"Damn it!"
**Vic, who was standing on the sidelines, couldn't help but curse when he saw his team's performance on the defensive end.
This was really a defense that made him feel bad. Although the players firmly implemented their order to double-team Wu Dawei, it seemed that they were a little too focused on Wu Dawei.
Even the San Antonio Spurs players who are not attacking and assisting Wu Dawei are fully investing in Wu Dawei.
In this way, it has been easy to give other players of the Cleveland Cavaliers who are playing at home, and Wu Dawei is so happy to pass the ball at this time.
All of this made San Antonio Spurs coach Vicky feel full of malice, because the score is now chased by the Cleveland Cavaliers, leaving only the last 3 points left.
From a huge 17-point lead after the start of the second half, there is only the last 3-point advantage left; for the San Antonio Spurs, everything that happened in the middle made them very uncomfortable.
Because these are really not what they think, it is something that they can't bear for the San Antonio Spurs players at this time.
However, it is obviously not yet time for the San Antonio Spurs to be depressed. No matter how urgent the Cleveland Cavaliers are to catch up, the Cleveland Cavaliers are still behind; while the San Antonio Spurs still have a three-point lead.
Now, they need to seize the lead of these 3 points, maybe this is their last life-saving straw in this game tonight.
They can't let their opponents surpass them so easily. For the San Antonio Spurs, they have tried their best to make this lead advantage.
So of course they would not hope that at the last moment of the game, the opponent would complete the turnaround, which would not be something the San Antonio Spurs would like to see.
However, at this time, when the Cleveland Cavaliers narrowed the gap in the score to only the last 3 points left, it really made the entire Quick Loan Center boil.
For the Clevelanders, they are indeed very excited about this. After falling behind almost a whole game, now, the Cleveland Cavaliers have the opportunity to equalize the score or even overtake.
Of course they were very excited about this and looked forward to their ability to perform better in the next game to exceed the disadvantage of these 3 points.
This is not a very difficult thing, after all, compared to the situation where they have caught up with so many disadvantages after the start of the second half.
Of course, the Cleveland Cavaliers have a good chance to catch up with the 3-point disadvantage gap as soon as possible in the next game.
Now, the side that became panicked must be the San Antonio Spurs players. Because they were already at a loss by the fierce offensive of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Of course they don’t want to lose this game just like this. After all, they have put in more effort and almost find hope for victory.
After all, the 17-point lead was considered by most people to completely eliminate the hope of the Cleveland Cavaliers' victory in this game; but no one would have thought that after the start of the second half, with Wu Dawei's state recovering, the Cleveland Cavaliers' comeback would force the San Antonio Spurs, which had such a huge lead, to a desperate situation.
The leading advantage is only the last 3 points left. The San Antonio Spurs are under great psychological pressure after getting the ball again; because they know that if they cannot perform well in the next attack, it is equivalent to giving the Cleveland Cavaliers a chance to really equalize the score.
They made a three-pointer before, so who can be sure that they can't continue to make the second three-pointer?!
So at this time, for the San Antonio Spurs, the situation is obviously very serious; they need to throw the ball into the basket during this next attack.
Because at this time, the San Antonio Spurs must consolidate their lead, otherwise, waiting for the San Antonio Spurs will only be a matter of making them feel even more painful.
So when Tony Parker steadily passed the ball through half the game, he did not choose to hand the ball over to Tim Duncan, who had lost a goal in the inside.
Although Tim Duncan is the leader of the team, there are many tactical cores of the team, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili both have the right to attack independently.
So at this time, Tony Parker held the ball and did not hand over the ball to Tim Duncan again, and Tim Duncan did not choose to ask for the ball at the low post again.
Obviously, everyone was affected by the goal that they had not scored before, so at this time Tony Parker chose to attack the basket himself.
After Tim Duncan made a high pick-and-roll for himself, Tony Parker took the ball and went down. Wu Dawei was pulled down by Kovay Leonard at this time, so he couldn't help at all.
Tim Duncan ran out with Dwight Howard, so when Tony Parker rushed into the paint area, he found that the paint area was extremely empty.
Although Andrew Valacho rushed up to make up for defense at the first time, he was unable to block Tony Parker at this time!
The latter turned around and moved and threw away Andrew Valacho, and then used a light layup to pass the ball into the basket, while temporarily resolving the bad situation the San Antonio Spurs are facing now.
After all, for the San Antonio Spurs, what they need most now is scoring, and Tony Parker's layup undoubtedly temporarily alleviated the crisis for them.
The score gap has reached 5 points again, at least this will prevent the Cleveland Cavaliers from equalizing the score in a round of offense.
This is a good thing for the San Antonio Spurs, and the thing they want to do most now is how to keep their only few points of lead.
For the San Antonio Spurs, nothing is more important than this at this time.
They need to keep their lead because that's their hope for a victory in this game tonight.
With such a terrible situation being chased by the Cleveland Cavaliers in a row, they had no other thoughts for the San Antonio Spurs.
Now, they have only one goal, and that is to retain their lead.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have already brought them too much sense of crisis. For the San Antonio Spurs, the current advantage of 5 points is at least to make them less worried for the time being.
And for the Cleveland Cavaliers, of course, they will feel a little disappointed. If they can stop the opponent's offense in this defense, just like they did on the last defensive end; then now, they will really have the opportunity to completely smooth the gap in the score.
This is not impossible, so the players of the Cleveland Cavaliers are disappointed by this, but this is still a harmless thing after all, after all, there is still plenty of time for the fourth quarter.
So a goal conceding on the defensive end will not seem so fatal. For the Cleveland Cavaliers, they still have the opportunity to narrow the score gap between the two sides on the next offensive end.
So at this time, as long as they can continue to score goals on the next offensive end, the San Antonio Spurs will still feel a huge threat.
Because they will still be chased by the Cleveland Cavaliers. So for the Cleveland Cavaliers, of course, there is no need for them to be completely discouraged by their opponent's goal this time.
So at this time, Wu Dawei once again held the ball in the frontcourt. For the San Antonio Spurs, they are now very nervous about defending Wu Dawei. The reason is very simple. They don’t want Wu Dawei to get too many opportunities to score in the game; but they have repeatedly given other players of the Cleveland Cavaliers a chance to score goals in the previous game because of too many double-teams against Wu Dawei.
Wu Dawei's continuous assists to his teammates is an important reason why the Cleveland Cavaliers can catch up with the score gap at this time; people know that if Wu Dawei continues to revitalize the entire team's attack at this time, the consequences will be unimaginable.
But for the San Antonio Spurs players, they will not change their defensive strategy for Wu Dawei at this time.
Because they have been sticking to such a strategy for too long. Although Wu Dawei's teammates have performed and performed to varying degrees in this game tonight; at least Wu Dawei's personal performance is not so crazy.
So at this time, for the San Antonio Spurs, there is no need to change their defensive strategy; because Wu Dawei's performance in the last game has proved that if Wu Dawei was personally opened, the consequences for the San Antonio Spurs will be equally unimaginable.
So at this time, since the San Antonio Spurs have been persisting for so long, they will definitely continue to persevere.
Now they can only continue to persevere, because the San Antonio Spurs have no way out to retreat at this time; they can only persevere.
If you change the tactical strategy at this time, the risk will definitely be very huge!
So at this time, when Wu Dawei was standing outside the three-point line and preparing to launch an attack, behind Kaowayi and Leonard, there were other San Antonio Spurs players who were staring at Wu Dawei.
Wu Dawei also understood this very well, so he certainly had other psychological thoughts at this time; but at this time he insisted on attacking the basket by himself, after all, he could attract opponents' double-teams at this time.
This is very helpful to the Cleveland Cavaliers on the offensive end, so Wu Dawei is unshirkable; and Kaowayi Leonard's mentality at this time has changed a lot compared to the first half game.
After all, for him, he found that in the second half, he could no longer stop Wu Dawei's offensive like in the first half; so of course he would no longer be as confident as before.
Because he was worried that Wu Dawei would once again put the ball into the basket under his defense; so in this way, the Cleveland Cavaliers narrowed the gap in the score again.
For the San Antonio Spurs, they definitely want to not only have a good offense, but also a good defense is extremely important.
So at this time, Kaowayi Leonard would definitely feel Alexander. Although he was very cautious in defending, at this time, he still couldn't stop Wu Dawei from breaking through after the start.
Because the huge gap in tonnage between the two people is irreparable, at least in this game tonight, it will definitely not be able to make up for it.
So when Wu Dawei launched the attack, Kaowayi and Leonard were squeezed away by Wu Dawei, and then he directly attacked the paint area.
How could other San Antonio Spurs players not take advantage of Wu Dawei's impact on the basket at this time?!
Split rushed over at this time, trying to stop Wu Dawei's impact on the inside, but Wu Dawei turned around very quickly while walking, but at this time he easily avoided Split's repair defense.
After all, in a hurry, Wu Dawei must be more prepared than Diego Split, so naturally he wouldn't be so hasty.
And when Split was shaken away by Wu Dawei, there was a vast open land like a grassland in front of Wu Dawei.
Faced with such a situation, how could Wu Dawei rush in without taking the lead? This suddenly made the San Antonio Spurs' defense even more chaotic!
Of course they were unwilling to let Wu Dawei complete the breakthrough just like this, so again, Tim Duncan rushed up to block Wu Dawei.
At this time, for Wu Dawei, the first thing he was thinking about was to find a breakthrough direction, but obviously Tim Duncan's defensive experience was much more than Diego Split who had been turned around and shook away by Wu Dawei.
So Wu Dawei was unable to find a breakthrough at all, so he chose to pass the ball without hesitation; the moment Tim Duncan rushed towards him, Wu Dawei saw an open space from his teammate.
At this time, when his attack was blocked, Wu Dawei did not hesitate at all. He chose to pass the ball, and the target was Dwight Howard, the team's inside core!
The latter received the ball and dunked, while Tim Duncan was out of reach at this time.
Because he didn't have time to turn around, Dwight Howard had already made a dunk in the paint area!
He got up and was smashed into the basket hard, and the score became 92 to 89!
“A beautiful pass!”
Charles Barkley cheered loudly in front of the sidelines, while the Cleveland Cavaliers were still chasing the San Antonio Spurs on the basketball court.
Although they are still 3 points behind, in terms of momentum, the Cleveland Cavaliers seem to be stronger than the San Antonio Spurs.
After all, they are playing at home, not only them, but also Cleveland fans on the sidelines are also helping the Cleveland Cavaliers increase their confidence and momentum.
So at this time, obviously for the Cleveland Cavaliers, the situation they are facing is better.
Although they are still behind, the Cleveland Cavaliers are getting better than the San Antonio Spurs in the form of slowly on the basketball court.
San Antonio Spurs head coach **Vic was obviously in a bad mood at this time. His team needed a good defense, but the bad thing was that they were still on the defensive end tonight, just like the previous game, and there was nothing to do with Wu Dawei.
Whether it is a pinch or not, they find it difficult to stop Wu Dawei's help to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
In such a situation, the anxious situation seemed like an illusion, because the Cleveland Cavaliers, who played at home, were obviously becoming more and more powerful. Faced with such a situation, if the San Antonio Spurs cannot regain the score and make a wave of attacks, they will be completely trapped in the rhythm of the Cleveland Cavaliers at this time.
In fact, it can be said that they are now trapped in the rhythm of the Cleveland Cavaliers. For the San Antonio Spurs, the progress of the game will no longer be as beneficial to them as in the first half!
They need to regroup, and at this time, for the San Antonio Spurs, they need to regroup while they have at least three points in the lead.
No longer being led by the Cleveland Cavaliers, breaking such a so-called anxious situation; it is just that it is easy to talk about it now, but it is obviously a very difficult thing to do. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
