313. Struggling to wait for hope
ps: The internet has been disconnected recently, so the update time is not very stable, but the amount will not be small, but it may be updated later~ Sorry, everyone
On the way back to the locker room, Wu Dawei could feel the fatigue of his teammates. Obviously, in order to save such hope of winning, his teammates had tried their best in the first half!
Only yourself! As the core of this team, I lost the chain at the most critical moment!
Wu Dawei said that it was impossible to be unhappy with him. As long as you are more successful, even if you don’t have to perform well, just perform like the previous game. Then according to your score in the last game, the Cavaliers will not lag behind the Miami people at all.
When veteran Changxi Billups followed Wu Dawei, Wu Dawei could even hear the heavy breathing of the veteran. Everyone tried their best, but the prospects for tonight's game were still not optimistic.
At the end of the first half, head coach Byron Scott was quite satisfied with the players' performance in the first half. Although he was still 5 points behind the Miami Heat, who played at home, at least the performance in this game was much better than the previous game.
At least the second half can give people a sense of hope.
"We played very well in the first half!"
After returning to the locker room, Byron Scott's first words to the players were encouragement. He clapped his hands and tried to motivate the players' fighting spirit and said, "We have been going on for 24 minutes! Although we were 5 points behind the Miamis at the end of the first half, this is not a desperate thing! Because we still have a second half to fight. As long as we can score 6 more points than the arrogant Miamis in the second half, we will take this victory from the American Airlines Center tonight! Then, with a score of 1:1, back to Cleveland! By then, I believe that everything, the balance of victory, will fall to us!"
After Scott finished speaking, the players' performance was not too excited, which made Scott not very satisfied. So he glanced around the Cavaliers in the locker room and shouted again: "Don't you want to let Floyd Mothers's 10 million be wasted!? Do you still want to go back to Miami to endure the arrogant and ugly faces of Miami people!?"
"Don't want to!" This time, the Cavaliers players finally responded to the head coach's motivation with their greatest voices. Then, someone began to question head coach Scott's math...
"Coach, even if we win three games in a row, we still have to return to Miami to end this round of series! Then we still have to face the ugly and arrogant face of Miami people again!"
"Then do you think Miami people will still be arrogant when we lead 3:1?"
Want to laugh at my math! Scott was so awesome that he thought to himself that it was impossible!
The interaction between the coach and the players suddenly made the originally dull atmosphere of the locker room liven up. Wu Dawei sat in it and could feel the belief of unity in the team. Although perhaps such a belief was born because of the huge prize from the team's boss Gilbert, as long as there was such a belief, it would be a great thing for the Cleveland Cavaliers, which had long been doomed since the start of the playoffs this season.
Wu Dawei doesn't want to be a bystander. Even though he feels physical discomfort due to a cold, Wu Dawei wants to fight side by side with his teammates to win this game!
Compared with the visiting locker room, the atmosphere in the home team's locker room is obviously more harmonious and happy. After all, no matter what, the Miami Heat is still the leader in tonight's game. Moreover, they still have a total score of 1:0 in their hands and are at home. The Cavaliers' main player Wu Dawei was troubled by a cold and scored only 6 points in the first half. No matter how you look at it, the Miami Heat has a bigger chance of winning tonight.
And at the beginning of the second half, they received better news, Rasu Butler replaced Wu Dawei as the Cavaliers' No. 3 position!
"Oh? This is the situation of Xiami!? That Chinese boy is really useless. Isn't he going to play in the second half?" When Kyrie Nichols saw that Wu Dawei was not seen among the five players who played in the Cavaliers in the second half, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
The night before yesterday, he thought Wu Dawei was so confident because he was confident about himself, but he didn't expect that after just one day, he became a deserter.
At least Knicks did not see Wu Dawei in the Cavaliers' player seat.
It is not difficult to find this change, because Wu Dawei is the protagonist of this round of series. Before this round of series began, people were hyping up the grudges and past confrontations between him and LeBron James.
"Hey, where is that Chinese boy?" Although Floyd Mothers has never paid much attention to the Cavaliers, as the Miami Heat's opponent in the first round, Floyd Mothers at least knows some of the main players in the Cavaliers. Moreover, Wu Dawei is so popular this season.
The same doubt also appeared in the commentary seat. The most disappointing thing about this scene was Charles Barkley, who had always supported Wu Dawei. In his impression, Wu Dawei did not seem to be a person who gave up halfway.
Has the cold worsened?
Everyone's doubts were quickly explained. When league officials received notification from the Cavaliers, DJ from the American Airlines Center told everyone: "I just got a unfortunate news that Wu Dawei, a player from the Cleveland Cavaliers, had to sleep in the bed because of a severe cold. I guess he had to sleep until the end of the game..."
Although the original text is not the case, who said the person who reported it was Miami's DJ? Suddenly, a huge burst of laughter rang out of the American Airlines Center. While the Miami fans were relieved about this game, they also began to laugh at Wu Dawei's cowardice.
However, the game still needs to continue.
The second half of the game began. Although Wu Dawei was not present, the Cavaliers players were more stressed. But tonight, the Cavaliers, who came to their senses, were not as weak as Miami people imagined. Chauncey Billups and Chris Carman joined forces, and they both tightly grasped the score. Although the three giants exerted their strength at the same time, they did not widen the gap at once.
Billups' sudden arrow from outside the three-point line and Chris Carman's back-to-back singles in the inside have caused great trouble to the Miami people from time to time.
After 4 minutes of the third quarter, the score only became 58:65 and 7 points. Although the Miami people have always controlled the rhythm on the court, making people feel that they are almost sure of this game, the score that has been unable to be pulled apart for a long time has become an urgent matter.
Every player of the Cavaliers is insisting. Perhaps they united before the game because of the high bonus of the team boss as head coach Byron Scott, but now, when they devote themselves to the game, it is naturally for the sake of aura!
The arrogant and domineering faces of the Miami people in the American Airlines Center and their wanton humiliation angered the Cavaliers players. The Miami people fully demonstrated their arrogant side in the last game against this game.
Perhaps it is because the Cavaliers have defeated the Miami Heat four times in the regular season, so the Miami people have such great hostility and hatred towards the Cleveland Cavaliers!
Although the score has never been pulled apart at once, it is not just Miami Heat head coach Spoelstra, and of course the Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Byron Scott.
The game time passed by minute by minute. Although the Cavaliers did not collapse, they did not show any momentum to overtake the game. It can be clearly seen that as the game progressed, the physical fitness of Chauncey Billups and others was also rapidly losing.
If nothing changes, maybe the Cavaliers lost tonight's game only a matter of time. At this time, Byron Scott missed Wu Dawei and LeBron James had scored 26 points so far. Scott believed that as long as Wu Dawei was not sick, with his strong personal defensive ability and his more outstanding offensive end, it is not impossible to give the Cavaliers the hope of overtaking!
The Cavaliers struggled in the third quarter, and all the players were unwilling to give up because they knew whether this was their last hope to win tonight's game. The players were very clear about how different the pressures brought by 1:1 and 2:0 were.
However, in the face of the powerful attack of the Miami people, the Cavaliers were unable to escape the fate of being thrown away by their opponents without their outrageous performance. In the seventh minute of the third quarter, the Miami people played a wave of high-chao at their home court, Dwyane Wade and LeBron James teamed up to play Cleveland at 7:0, and the score difference was instantly widened and turned into 14 points!
58:72!
"The Heat should have no suspense if they win this game, Mr. Coach!"
Floyd Mothers sat next to the Miami Heat's player seat, and Heat's head coach Spoelstra shook in front of him from time to time to direct the game. When the Heat led the Cavaliers by 14 points, Mothers couldn't help but congratulate Spoelstra in front of him.
Spoelstra was now dispatching troops to the player's seat. He wanted to replace LeBron James and Dwayne Wade with the court to rest, so that they could have the most physical fitness to kill the Clevelanders in the last quarter!
When Spolstra finished dispatching troops and was about to respond to the boxing champion who supported the Miami Heat with a big deal, he was attracted by the sudden booing sound of the scene.
The American Airlines Center, which was originally cheering, suddenly heard a huge boo, and then everyone found a figure running out of the player's passage, a figure that made the Miami people grit their teeth, and a figure that dared to raise the middle finger at the Miami people!
Wu Dawei ran to the court from the player channel, and his feeling was much better than in the first half. He just played a small can of drip and made him more energetic, which is why he postponed his appearance and did not return to the second half as a player.
Because he also wanted to win tonight's game, because he wanted to make contributions to the team. When his teammates were doing their best, Wu Dawei knew that he could not just become a bystander. Therefore, he needed a good condition to deal with this crucial game tonight, so he stayed in the locker room for infusion. Until this moment, he was like Bobo who had eaten spinach and was resurrected in full blood!
Wu Dawei walked into the stadium and looked like a king who returned, but the only difference was that the applause he received when he did not have a hero came back. The most fanatical boo sounded in the American Airlines Center, all for Wu Dawei.
However, Wu Dawei ignored the screams and boos in his ears and joked. He walked straight to the player seat. In the concerned eyes of his teammates and coaches, Wu Dawei saw hope!
In this season, Wu Dawei has become the hope of this team countless times. Wu Dawei understands very well that as the core of the team, I am their hope! The hope of winning!
Wu Dawei raised his head and looked at the score on the big screen. There was still more than 4 minutes left in the third quarter.
At this time, an electronic sound happened to sound in the stadium, and the Miami Heat were asking for a substitution. Seeing this, Wu Dawei accelerated and ran. He forced head coach Scott to look puzzled and hopeless, nodded, and then started to take off his coat while running.
Assistant coach Wright Tibbets quickly shouted at the technical station: "Substitution, we request a replacement!"
The technical station passed the hasty request from the Cleveland Cavaliers, so Wu Dawei took off his clothes and walked straight to the stadium amid the booing of Miami fans throughout the game.
"The Cleveland Cavaliers requested a substitution." Amid the huge booing, Wu Dawei walked onto the court and replaced the already breathless veteran Rasu Butler.
When Wu Dawei walked onto the court with his limbs moving, LeBron James was also replaced by Mike Miller. The two looked at each other between the appearance and the end. Wu Dawei saw doubts in the eyes of LeBron James looking at him; and LeBron James saw confidence in Wu Dawei's eyes.
LeBron James did not delve into this confidence, because his team is the leading side now, and the person who should worry about it should be the Clevelanders.
"Did that guy think Tower is a superhero? Is he going to save the world at this time?"
Floyd Mothers teased Wu Dawei's appearance to his friends next to him. His mood was very comfortable because of the Miami Heat's 14-point lead, and the smile on his face continued to increase, but soon, the boxing champion couldn't laugh.
After a brief substitution riot, the game started again. The Cavaliers' ball rights, Chauncey Billups, who had not been replaced, passed the half-time possession of the ball, and then he played a high pick-and-roll with Wu Dawei. Mike Miller's performance this season was not good, and he was still the same tonight.
Wu Dawei chose to go straight after Billups picked and rolled the ball. Billups also passed the ball accurately to Wu Dawei in the intercepting attack between the two. When Wu Dawei received the ball, he had almost run to the top of the arc in the paint area.
At this time, Chris Bosh, who was pulled to one side by Andre Valejo, was trying to make up for defense, but after Wu Dawei received the ball, he jumped up suddenly!
Chapter completed!
