312. Wu Dawei is hope

Wu Dawei's goal helped the Cleveland Cavaliers take the lead again, but it could not destroy the Miami people's arrogant arrogance and aggressive posture on the court.

Although the cold did not burn Wu Dawei's brain, it did have a significant impact on his body. Especially in physical confrontation, the cold made him weak and became a little powerless in the confrontation on the defensive end.

In this situation, not only Wu Dawei, who is the person involved, understands himself, but LeBron James is also very clear about Wu Dawei's weakness at this moment. No matter how strong a player is, he will be in a weak position, let alone a sick player.

LeBron James certainly knew Wu Dawei's weakness at this moment. In the first confrontation with Wu Dawei on the previous offensive end, LeBron James noticed some clues.

So in the next attack, he had no reason to let Wu Dawei go without regard for such a weakness. Attacking towards his weakness is undoubtedly the most efficient choice.

At least LeBron James did this in the subsequent games, and he also gained some considerable advantages in such a confrontation.

Although Wu Dawei was not as powerful as usual due to some colds tonight, fortunately, other players of the Cavaliers are quite successful. At this time, it is particularly important that they give Wu Dawei a handful of strength.

Although James can score more freely on the offensive end because of Wu Dawei's illness, the Cavaliers also have good offensive efficiency when returning to the defensive end. Wu Dawei's Cavaliers teammates who performed poorly in the last game finally recovered some energy tonight.

They stubbornly caught up with the score on the offensive end, equalizing or even overtaking. Chris Kaman is still an important force that Miami cannot ignore in the interior. Although Lithuanian big center Ilgoskas has already made efforts in the playoffs, after all, this veteran is already old, and Kaman is still able to turn things around in the interior.

Kaman re-dominated his power in the interior, which is undoubtedly a relief for the Cavaliers' outside players, because this will force the Miamis to shrink the defense to achieve the effect of curbing Kaman.

Chauncey Billups scored three three-pointers in the first quarter, which was also a key factor in saving the Cavaliers from the crisis tonight. The Miami Heat's young point guard is much younger than Chauncey Billups and lacks too much experience.

It is also one of the reasons why the veteran Billups shines in the first quarter.

The Cavaliers relied on Chauncey Billups and Chris Carman's outstanding performance in the first quarter to play a link between the inside and outside lines, becoming the key factor for them to fall behind by only 2 points at the end of the first quarter at 26:28.

Such a first-quarter game is very similar to the first quarter of the first game. The night before yesterday, the Cavaliers did not show any downturn in the first quarter. They even drew with the Miami Heat at the end of the first quarter.

The only difference is that in the last game, only Wu Dawei performed well in the Cleveland Cavaliers, while other players did not perform very well; tonight, Wu Dawei played poorly due to the influence of a cold, but other players stood up.

Chauncey Billups and Chris Carman scored 9 points and 8 points in the first quarter, while Wu Dawei only contributed 2 points in the first quarter and was replaced by head coach Byron Scott to rest early. Obviously, Scott could also see that the cold still had a significant impact on Wu Dawei.

The Clevelanders just changed their positions. The Miami Heat still performed well in the whole team. The Big Three performed normally, and the role players also tried their best to complete their own tasks.

Such a balance of power collapsed in the last game from the second quarter. After all, Wu Dawei only had two hands alone, and two fists could not match four hands. Moreover, the Heat have so many hands.

But tonight, when the game started again after two minutes of rest between the quarters. The Cleveland Cavaliers once again collapsed on the away game. Although the Clevelanders played passively on the court, they still held on to the slight difference, so that the Miamis would instantly widen the score to more than double digits in an instant.

It won't make people desperate, leaving the Cavaliers with the last glimmer of vitality in the second half.

Wu Dawei was replaced by head coach Byron Scott in the seventh minute of the first quarter and rested. It was not until 6 minutes after the second quarter that Wu Dawei was finally able to play again.

At this time, it has been almost 20 minutes since the last time he appeared on the court, plus the time of pause and rest between the festivals!

Longer rest time can easily cause players to lose their state, but for Wu Dawei, who is suffering from a cold, it is a good opportunity to restore his physical fitness.

When Wu Dawei re-played, the score was 39:44, and the gap between 5 points was still within an acceptable range. Although Chauncey Billups and Chris Carman had done their best before, they were no longer young after all, and the gap between them in ability was still quite large with the Big Three.

Despite having an advantage in the inside, the Big Three's excellent personal abilities still gave them a lot of trouble on the defensive end. In order to prevent James, Bosh and Wade from breaking through, Chris Carman has paid the price of 4 fouls so far.

There are 24 minutes left in the second half, and Kaman only has 2 fouls left to ensure his playing time. Regardless of whether he can play normally before, it is obviously inevitable to shrink his hands and feet on the defensive end.

After all, the game will be a long time before it will end. If the Cavaliers want to win this game, Chris Carman's deterrence in the inside is just like Wu Dawei's extremely outstanding personal defensive ability on the defensive end, which is an indispensable winning factor for the Cavaliers.

After Wu Dawei came on the court, LeBron James had already rested off the court. During the rotation period from the first to the second quarter, LeBron James was playing with a group of substitutes on the court.

This is also an important reason why the weak Miami Heat substitute did not allow the Cavaliers' substitute to surpass the score during that period.

It is undoubtedly much easier for Wu Dawei to not have to face LeBron and James. Just as James doesn't have to face Wu Dawei in normal form, he will also feel that he can play well on the court.

The rest on the field restored Wu Dawei's physical fitness. The few pills he took before the game seemed to have some effect at this time. Wu Dawei no longer felt that drowsy, and he regained some of his touch.

Two mid-range shots were made in the offensive end, which helped Wu Dawei regain some confidence. At the same time, Henry, who was sitting off the court, finally had a chance to cheer for Wu Dawei.

However, Miami Heat's head coach Spoelstra did not make any adjustments to this. Although Wu Dawei scored two goals on the offensive end, the Miami Heat were able to continue scoring after returning.

The score difference is still maintained at 5 points, which is one of the reasons why Spoelstra can rest assured.

As the game progresses slowly, Spoelstra's confidence in the game is getting bigger and bigger. The team has always controlled the rhythm of the game on the court, which is undoubtedly a signal that it will win tonight.

As long as you control the rhythm of the game and let others be led by the nose and follow you, the game will of course be sure to win.

In such a state of no danger, the first half was almost overwhelming. Although the Cavaliers were not instantly opened up by the Miami people who played at home, they were still difficult to see hope when they were 5 points behind in the half.

Wu Dawei's 6-point score in the first half was terrible, and it was completely incomparable to LeBron James' 17-point score in the first half. In this comparison, many people couldn't help but feel worried about the prospects of the Cleveland Cavaliers in this game.

"I was only 5 points behind in the first half. In the second half, the Cavaliers still have a great chance to return to Cleveland with a score of 1:1 after the game!"

After the half, Charles Barkley explained: "As long as Wu Dawei plays half of his strength, coupled with the outstanding performance of other Cavaliers players tonight, it is not impossible for the Cavaliers to win this game. 82 games in the regular season have already shown that the Miami Heat are not invincible! The Big Three are far less powerful than they imagined!"

However, this explanation seems a bit far-fetched to many people. Barkley hopes that Wu Dawei will wake up in the second half, but everyone has seen Wu Dawei's performance in the first half. Of course, he is not very optimistic about this view.

There are many celebrities who came to the American Airlines Center tonight to watch the second game of the first round of the playoffs. Floyd Mothers, who made a heavy bet in this round of series, is naturally one of them. He has not made boxing bored recently, so he is naturally going to have some fun. The Heat's first round series has become the biggest interest of the boxing champion in the recent past.

After all, a bet of 10 million is not a small amount. Of course, Mothers also doesn't want the green American bet to be wasted like this.
