297. Lian Zhan Lian Victory
After defeating the visiting Oklahoma City Thunder, the Cavaliers only have the last ten games left in the regular season of this season. The efforts and success or failure of a season will ultimately be maintained in these ten games.
The Cavaliers naturally need to be fully prepared for this. After all, their situation is very good now, and the outside world is very optimistic about them.
On March 14, one day after a victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Cavaliers welcomed their next opponent, the Washington Wizards, who owned last year's No. 1 pick John Wall.
Although Wall's arrival injected fresh blood into the Wizards, and Wall's excellent basketball talent is considered by many to be the first point guard in the future league, Wall cannot have an immediate effect on the present.
The Wizards ranked 14th in the East this season, which is second to last. The league's ranking is only third to last, just slightly better than the corrupt Charlotte Bobcats.
The Cleveland Cavaliers finally defeated their opponents again at home, defeating their opponents with a huge advantage of 17 points, following the style of the Cavaliers in the last home game.
Wu Dawei played very easily in this game. After all, the Wizards' third position was Josh, the original starting small forward of the Mavericks. Howard. Although Howard was once selected as the All-Star team in the Western Conference at the peak of the Mavericks, time has changed. The hero does not mention his courage back then, but now Josh. Howard is no longer comparable to that in his physical fitness or personal skills.
Injuries and character made Josh Howard destroy him like Wizards boss Gilbert Arenas.
But even Josh Howard is still at the peak of his time in the Mavericks. Wu Dawei will not be afraid of him at all.
In this season, LeBron James, Cameron Anthony, Kevin Durant, and even Paul Pierce, the representative of the older generation of small forwards, have lost to Wu Dawei more than once. So many experiences of defeating top small forwards in the country have long established Wu Dawei's great confidence. No matter from various perspectives, Wu Dawei has no reason to be afraid of Josh. Howard, let alone Josh Howard, who is currently a role player in a bad team like the Wizards.
With 21 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 blocks and 5 steals, Wu Dawei only played 32 minutes in this game, but in the end his data became the best and most versatile one in the game.
However, the Chinese fans who came to cheer for Wu Dawei were a little accustomed to this. After all, in this season, Wu Dawei, who is the top two in the steal and blocking list, has become accustomed to shining on the defensive end in every game.
In addition to Wu Dawei's outstanding performance, veteran Chauncey Billups, who has been joining the team for nearly a month, has also performed well in this game. Facing the young point guard who is much younger than him and No. 1 pick John Wall, Billups taught the No. 1 pick a lesson to the No. 1 pick.
Billups scored 12 points in the whole game and sent 15 assists. Even in Billups' long career as a point guard, he scored 15 assists in a single game.
But this time, it really gave John Wall a vivid lesson.
Of course, the Cleveland Cavaliers, whose lineup is now taking shape, rely on not only Wu Dawei's all-round performance, but also Chauncey Billups' control of the rhythm of the game. With the increasing proportion of inside offense, Chris Carman's performance in the inside also plays a vital role in the Cavaliers' offensive end, especially in positional battles.
In this game, Kaman faced a young center with excellent talent, Javier McGee... a big center with IQ every now and then...
Although Carman was blocked by McGee several times in the game, after the game, Carman still contributed 16 points to the team and scored 10 rebounds.
With the main players playing like this, it is not surprising that the Cavaliers won this game. After all, the Washington Wizards are still a weak team in the league, and they have outstanding talented players. But it still takes time to hone them. At least for now, they are not strong on the court.
After defeating the Washington Wizards, the Cavaliers improved their record to 39 wins and 34 losses. A four-game winning streak made them look much closer to the playoffs at once. Because for a long time in the past, in the East, teams with a winning rate of less than 50% were often able to catch the last bus of the playoffs.
This is one of the reasons why people always talk about the strong West and the weak East.
Obviously, the winning rate achieved by the Cavaliers with such a record is undoubtedly much higher than 50%.
This four-game winning streak allowed the Cavaliers to escape the dangerous situation of having to compete with the Philadelphia 76ers for eighth place in the East, which directly allowed them to see the position of the New York Knicks, which currently ranks seventh in the East.
However, in the following day, the New York Knicks also defeated their opponents and continued to sit in front of the Cavaliers with a half-win advantage. If the Cleveland Cavaliers' next goal is to compete for the seventh place in the East, it will undoubtedly be like that: the revolution has not been successful yet, and comrades still need to work hard.
The outside world has a good analysis of the advantages of the seventh place position to the Cavaliers. Although it looks like a fan's randomness, the Cavaliers do view the seventh place rankings in this way.
Among the top four teams in the East District, although the Cavaliers have defeated these four teams, the Cavaliers have not lost the game for the Miami Heat. Whether it is the Chicago Bulls, the Boston Celtics, or even the Orlando Magic, the Cavaliers have won and lost the battle with them. Only the Miami Heat, where LeBron James, is located, is located, the Cavaliers have never lost the game!
Moreover, when facing the Miami Heat, the Cavaliers can have a very good form on the court to deal with their opponents, both at home and away.
And as the player that Cleveland fans hate the most, undoubtedly, when the Miami Heat come to the Speed Loan Center to play away, the fans will give the Cavaliers great help, that is, to carry out inhumane personal attacks on James and his Miami Heat teammates at home.
To sum up, there is no doubt that the Miami Heat may be the most powerful team among these four teams. After all, having the Big Three in charge is definitely not to be underestimated. But the Cavaliers are the ones who are most confident in playing against them!
So in order to have a series of matches with the Miami Heat in the playoffs that kick off in a month, the Cavaliers still need to continue to win to improve their record; and everyone believes that the New York Knicks cannot continue to win, and everyone believes that this is not something that the New York Knicks can maintain.
Although the Cleveland Cavaliers must be led by the New York Knicks at present, as long as they play their own game well, they are still likely to regain the initiative.
After defeating the Washington Wizards away, the Cavaliers took a day off in Washington before setting off for their next destination. The Detroit Pistons will be the Cavaliers' next opponent, which is also the first time since Chauncey Billups joined the Cleveland Cavaliers, he returned to Detroit, a city that is of great significance to him.
However, when Billups returned to Detroit, of course, it was a change of things and people. The old man walked away and retreated, perhaps among the remaining people, Billups was most familiar with Prince, known as the "little prince".
However, the little prince has now become an old prince. In short, the once-summit bad boys army and were destroyed. The Detroit Pistons are now full of newcomers and a brand new team lineup.
However, what is different from the old Pistons a few years ago is naturally a bad record. Although the Pistons' record is not as bad as the Cavaliers' previous opponent, the Washington Wizards, it is still very close to each other.
Currently, the Pistons ranks 12th in the East District. Even Sun Dasheng, one of the top eight in the East District, could not get over it.
On the evening of March 17, at the Auburn Hill Palace Arena, the Detroit Pistons' home court, the Cavaliers welcomed their ninth-last opponent in the regular season of the season, the Detroit Pistons.
Although this game was not like the Cavaliers' first two games, and it showed no suspense from the beginning, the outcome of the game was completed not long after the start of the second half.
The Cavaliers scored a 10:0 wave of Xiao Gaochao in the first half of the third quarter, setting the tone of final victory in one fell swoop.
Although the two sides were still fighting hard in the first half, the Cavaliers still relied on this wave of flow in the third quarter and finally took away the victory from the Auburn Mountain Palace Arena!
98:89, the Cavaliers won 9 points from the Pistons, who played at home. This is the game with the Cavaliers winning the least points in the last three games. It can be seen from some of them. How outstanding the Cleveland Cavaliers are currently in their state.
Wu Dawei is still the protagonist of this game. In the competition with the long-famous "Little Prince" Prince, Wu Dawei did not encounter much trouble. On the defensive end, he successfully restricted Prince's offense many times, and on the offensive end, he once again seized many opportunities well.
His performance of 19 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 blocks and 5 steals once again made Wu Dawei win the game after the game.
