219. Victory in sight
With the 15-point gap, the Heat are falling behind more. The hope of winning is gradually decreasing as the game time passes by minute by minute.
Wu Dawei not only tore the horn of Miami's countless counterattacks on the defensive end, but also made an indelible contribution on the offensive end.
The game has entered the seventh minute of the third quarter, 71:56. Such a comparison made Miami Heat head coach Spoelstra a little unbelievable. He has talked about a topic that has been said countless times. Before the game, no one expected such a situation.
This season, the Cavaliers always seem to be able to perform well in the game against the Heat. No matter how bad their previous record or condition is, as long as they play against the Heat, they will not seem so weak.
Everyone knows that this must have a lot to do with LeBron James, and now people also think it has a lot to do with Wu Dawei.
The game was stopped again. When Wu Dawei scored another mid-range shot from mid-range, Spoelstra had no choice but to request a timeout. He didn't know how many times he had stopped the game because of this former disciple.
Like Wu Dawei, Spoelstra, like the team's boss Dwyane Wade and the team's president Pat Riley, he has never given him too much attention. The topic Wu Dawei talked about was just a repeated question by those annoying Chinese reporters.
Because he never thought that Wu Dawei would be such an outstanding player, he was even more surprised and shocked by the ability Wu Dawei showed at present. The shock was why he did not realize that Wu Dawei was so outstanding last season.
Seeing the players walking down the court with their gloomy faces, Spoelstra was also very depressed. Although the Heat's playing style changed after the timeout, and LeBron James also frequently pleaded with his teammates to cooperate, Wu Dawei seemed to have become a terrifying existence in tonight's game.
No one can limit his performance, and he can easily cause uncountable difficulties to the Heat's offense.
Such a role was played by LeBron James in previous Heat games. But now, with the actor being replaced, the Heat has become a little helpless. Just like those teams who have been helpless against LeBron James in the past half season.
Helpless, powerless.
Spoelstra stood on the court and discussed countermeasures. He glanced at the sad expressions of everyone in the table of his team. As well as the lively atmosphere of the Cavaliers on the other side, Spoelstra felt for the first time tonight that maybe the game seemed really difficult to reverse.
A player who is against the sky has a state of deficit in the game. Spoelstra understands how at ease and confident this will make the team's head coach; because he has experienced such a beautiful feeling many times in the past half season.
But there is still time for the game. There are more than 3 minutes left in the third quarter. Spoelstra knows that it is not yet time to give up. Although the situation has become very difficult, there may still be a chance.
He thought that such a smooth situation and a significant lead might be after the timeout. Byron Scott of the Cavaliers will replace Wu Dawei with a rest. After all, a player has to bear huge responsibilities on both offense and defense. That kind of physical energy consumption is not just a joke.
So maybe the next one will be a good opportunity, or it may be the last chance for the Miami Heat tonight's game.
Spoelstra discussed the final plan with his assistants, and then he walked towards his players. He made some adjustments and put Joel Anthony back on the court, replacing young defender Mario Chalmos who was basically playing soy sauce.
Spoelstra asked Wade to play the number one position, Mike Miller to play the number two position, James is still in the number three position, and Bosh and Anthony form the inside.
Although Mike Miller was also very so-called in previous games, at least the threat he had stood outside the three-point line was much higher than that of Chalmos. And as a veteran who had been playing in the league for a long time, Miller would make him more calm in his experience to deal with the current situation.
Those who are ruthless at critical moments have always been veterans in the league.
Joel Anthony is trying to fill the empty space of the team's inside line. Since the speed cannot be increased, he will simply fight the Cavaliers to the end in positional battles. Relying on the stars' personal singles ability is also a good choice for positional battles.
Of course, all this is based on the premise that Scott will replace Wu Dawei after the timeout. Without Wu Dawei's energy on the defensive end, Spoelstra believes that Bosh, Wade and even James can be more at ease when attacking on the offensive end.
After the timeout, Spoelstra guessed Byron Scott's intentions correctly. He replaced Wu Dawei, who had performed extremely well before, and even dominated the game for a while. Rasu Butler was replaced by Wu Dawei, and Andre Valejo, who was replaced by veteran Jamison.
Although Jamison's appearance allowed Bosh to directly score a goal for the Heat after the timeout, narrowing the gap to 13 points again. However, Jamison quickly returned a three-pointer on the offensive end.
In addition to Wu Dawei, Jamison was in good condition on the offensive end tonight. This three-point line made his scoring tonight increase to 11 points. However, this veteran has indeed become a colander on the defensive end, and the Heat also took advantage of this opportunity when Wu Dawei was off the court to score on the court.
Wade, Bosh and James have begun to frequently attack the Cavaliers' inside. Although the Cavaliers are missing Wu Dawei, the Cavaliers are still a team with good defense on the defensive end, obviously, without Wu Dawei's omnipresent blocks and steals, the Cavaliers' defensive end will be much less powerful.
At least after Wade, Bosh, James and others broke through the defensive players responsible for defending themselves, there is no need to worry that Wu Dawei will suddenly appear behind him, beside him or even in front of him, giving himself a shocking hat or a tough steal.
I have to say that Wu Dawei has indeed left a too deep impression on these super stars tonight.
When the third quarter ended, the Heat recovered some points.
80:69, the score difference is only a little more than at the beginning of the second half.
Seeing that the Heat's stars seemed to be getting a little begging on the court again, the Cavaliers' head coach hoped that Wu Dawei would have more rest, but he still sent Wu Dawei back to the court at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
Because this game is very critical for the Cavaliers in terms of its significance and importance. Moreover, the situation is so good now that Scott doesn't want to take too many risks. He hopes to end the game as soon as possible. Then bring the victory and return to Cleveland.
So at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Wu Dawei replaced veteran Rassu Butler and re-engaged in the court with a group of substitute teammates. At this time, only Wade was the only three superstars in the Heat's lineup.
Both James and Bosh were temporarily replaced by head coach Spoelstra to rest in preparation for the final decisive battle.
Although the Filipinos were ready to regain their players at this time and were ready to fight to the death at the last moment, the Cavaliers did not want to delay the game for too long. The scene of the cooked duck flying away at the last moment has been staged too many times in this league.
So at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers launched a fierce attack on the Miami people's defense!
Facing the Miami Heat's substitute lineup, Wu Dawei is not only a god-like presence on the defensive end, but also a Heat player who replaced LeBron James on the offensive end, was completely unable to curb Wu Dawei's performance.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers scored a 8:0 wave of Xiao Gaochao!
88:69, the score difference instantly turned into 19 points, and at this time, less than three minutes passed before the start of the fourth quarter.
Spoelstra once again asked for a pause, and this time, in addition to helplessness, he felt more inexplicable indignation in his heart. He cursed "fuck" and "shit" a few times to express his unhappiness.
But Spoelstra has no choice but to the current situation. The only thing he can do at this time is to send James and others back to the court again. He was very distressed because he didn't know why, his team could not fall into a disadvantage when facing any team in the league. Only in the only two matches with the Cavaliers this season, it always seemed so difficult.
It's like... the Cavaliers have become the nemesis of the Miami Heat this season.
Spolstra's helplessness was almost as compatible with the lifeless portrayal of the American Airlines Center at this time. Some Miami people even began to leave the game early. Although there were 9 minutes left at this time, it was obvious that some people were no longer hoping for it.
Wu Dawei just made a debut in the fourth quarter, and the Heat were in trouble again.
Compared to the frustration of Miami people, there was a cheerful cheer on the Cavaliers' players' seat. Such a huge lead at this time was not only unexpected. Before the game, the Clevelanders never thought that this game that made them so cautious would be so relaxed.
From the beginning of the game, they took the initiative, and until this moment, the Heat have never been too close.
It seems that the end of this game will be the same as the result of the last battle between the two sides!
