255. Everyone wants to win

6:8, the Cavaliers regained the lead.

In this round of attack, Wu Dawei, from the initial receiving of the ball from Valejo's inside, to Hickson, who was standing on the free throw line, over-sending the ball to the other end of the paint area, a triangle cooperation made the ball's rotation very fast and efficient this time.

The Cavaliers' four attacks at the beginning of the game have all been related to Wu Dawei, which has greatly improved the role of Wu Dawei as a defensive engineer at the beginning of the season.

The tone of the first quarter was basically set under such circumstances. After the Magic survived the Cavaliers' early wave of Xiao Gaochao led by Wu Dawei blocking two consecutive shots on the defensive end, they gradually regained the state they should have as a strong team.

The two sides then entered a somewhat subtle stage of mutual stalemate. Although the Cavaliers were still a little trapped in the crisis of lack of a core point guard on the offensive end, after such a period of hardship, they finally adapted. Although Wu Dawei could not play such an important role as a core point guard on the offensive end, his slowly showed his assist ability is still of great help to the team and offense.

On the Magic, although their outside shooter group is outside the three-point line, it will be difficult to face a defensive player like Wu Dawei, who is even recognized as the largest outside gate of the league, Dwight Howard's restraint is not to be underestimated. In addition, their own strength, even if they are not in extremely outstanding form tonight, they did not fall into a big disadvantage in the subsequent games.

The score was a little anxious in the following games in the first quarter. But in general, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who played at home, still had some leading advantages. It can be said that after the rest week during the All-Star Game, the game was in a faster state than the Orlando Magic.

Wu Dawei contributed 6 points, 3 assists and 2 blocks to the Cavaliers in the first quarter, and 2 rebounds to the credit. The Cavaliers had already scored 22 points when Wu Dawei got off the court in the ninth minute of the first quarter.

In other words, among the Cavaliers' 22 points, at least 12 points have the most direct relationship with Wu Dawei!

In the first game after the All-Star Game, Wu Dawei was extremely confident on the offensive end. Perhaps there were some reasons for playing against the Heat a week ago, but in general, after competing with a group of superstars, Wu Dawei did greatly improve his confidence.

The immersive situation allowed Wu Dawei to integrate into a role like a superstar more quickly. Naturally, what followed was a comprehensive improvement in his own quality.

After Wu Dawei left the game in the first quarter, the Cavaliers were leading the Orlando Magic away with 22:20 by 2 points. Although the Clevelanders have an advantage in their home court, the Magic are always a team with strength above them, so it is not easy to get rid of them in the game.

Especially when Cavaliers head coach Byron Scott, in order to respond to a lineup that rotates more quickly with the Orlando Magic, replaced the team's big center Chris Carman at the beginning of the first quarter and replaced a lighter tonnage but higher sensitivity. After Hickson, Howard was released in the interior accordingly.

The reason why fish and bear paws cannot have both, Byron Scott still understands it very well. After Dwight Howard lost the existence of Kaman, the big meat shield in the interior, he began to show some attributes of killing all sides. The young ** Hickson had no way to deal with his attack. Although people always say that Howard is a technically rough guy on the offensive end, ** Hickson is even rougher than him. He does not have the talented physical fitness like Howard...

However, compared to let Howard go wild in the inside, Byron Scott is obviously even more reluctant to let the Magic open the outside. In the current league, everyone knows that Dwight Howard is the number one player in the Magic, the core of the tactics, and the cornerstone of the team building; but when all teams face the Magic, the ones they fear the most are the shooters on their outside!

**. Redick, Vince Carter, Rashad Lewis, Quentin Richardson, Chris Anderson and others all had a basket in the outside shot, and it was unimaginable that they could shoot the ball.

What's more, the Cavaliers are still the leader on the court at the moment, which proves from the side that the Cavaliers head coach Byron Scott is still relatively wise.

Dwight Howard had already scored 8 points and 5 rebounds when Wu Dawei left the court, but his team was still behind the Cleveland Cavaliers who were playing at home at a slight disadvantage.

Such a situation undoubtedly made Howard a little anxious, because the words Wu Dawei had at the dinner table before the game made both of them feel angry. Undoubtedly, Wu Dawei's proposal to join forces was extremely touching for Dwight Howard.

Although he kept mocking LeBron James for going to the Heat this season, Howard naturally hoped that Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh would be a teammate of a superstar who was in his playing years. Unfortunately, his wish has never been realized.

Vince Carter is indeed very famous and can contribute 17 and 18 points per game this season, but he is out of date after all. His age has made him feel a little more willing and unable in both physical and physical activities.

So, if we can join forces with Wu Dawei, Howard will naturally be willing to do so. But the current question is, where to join forces? Cleveland or Orlando?

At present, Orlando is undoubtedly more advantageous. However, Wu Dawei's contract restrictions and the chips in the Magic's hands obviously cannot make Cleveland senior executives agree to the Orlando people to take away their team's hopes. There are neither draft picks nor high-quality newcomers, and the Magic's lineup looks a bit luxurious on the books, but Howard naturally knows how the actual effect is.

He also didn't think that the Cavaliers' senior executives were all gauze, after all, they had just lost LeBron James. Naturally, they attached great importance to Wu Dawei.

This can be seen from the lineup currently created by the Cavaliers. At the beginning of the season, there were rumors that Wu Dawei and Morris Williams were disagreed, so Williams was replaced; Wu Dawei complained that the team's inside offense was not strong, so Chris Carman came...

Therefore, the result of this game may not change the minds of the two people at once, but at least it will give both of them a preliminary concept. The prototype of the "joint proposal" plan!

Howard was replaced by head coach Stan Van Gundy in the 11th minute of the first quarter. At this time, he had scored 10 points and 6 rebounds and contributed 1 block, but the Magic were still 2 points behind the Cavaliers.

25:27, when the first quarter ended, the Cavaliers maintained such a weak lead. The reason why the Cavaliers still performed well after Wu Dawei was not only because of the team's condition tonight, but also because of the unexpected substitution at the beginning of the first quarter by coach Byron Scott.

Kaman re-played in the tenth minute of the first quarter. As an important scoring point for the Cavaliers in the interior, Kaman doesn't need to mention his personal strength. What's more, in addition to Kaman playing in the rotation period tonight, the Cavaliers also sit on the bench with two old guys Antoine Jamison and Rasu Butler!

The collaboration between Carman, Butler and Jamison is an important combination in which the Cavaliers can maintain their advantage.

Although Jamison has recently changed from a main player to a substitute, he has the highest salary of the Cavaliers. He averages the team's average of 18 points per game this season, and has more than 30 minutes of playing time.

He is the real pseudo-substitute real.

At present, Jamison's role is the same as that of the Spurs' Ginobili, but it is a special arrangement for the head coach to ensure the team's attacking firepower during the rotation period.

Although the Magic also have good scoring players like Chris Anderson and ** Hickson on the bench, they still lack experience compared to the above three.

In the fourth minute of the second quarter, the Cavaliers not only maintained the leading advantage, but also expanded the advantage to 4 points.

34:38, this is the first time the Cavaliers have expanded the score difference since the first quarter.

Magic's head coach Stan Van Gundy reacted strongly to this, so he sent Howard and Nelson back to the stadium.

Seeing this, on the Cavaliers, Scott hurriedly sent Wu Dawei, who had been resting for nearly 7 minutes, back to the court.

The unremitting training of a lot of every day has allowed Wu Dawei to maintain a microwave effect in this season, that is, he can perform as soon as he goes on the court. Even after reading the past half of the season, people can find that there are very few games where Wu Dawei performs incorrectly.

Although Wu Dawei has never performed with a scoring explosion, what is commendable is that Wu Dawei's performance is extremely stable. This is a rare trait among young players.

After the rotation period between the two quarters, both sides gradually sent the main players back to the court.

The offense continues. The Magic are ranked among the top ten in the league in this season, and their defense can also enter the top ten. It seems that their defense is indeed good, but the main reason is that they have a strong defense point like Dwight Howard.

Even if their outside line frequently misses people, as long as the opponent hits the inside line, Dwight Howard can keep his opponent out like a valley of heaven!
