337. More and more excellent
After less than two minutes of rest, LeBron James returned to the court again. As for the situation where all the Big Three returned to the court, Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Byron Scott did not make any adjustments accordingly.
38:34, the situation on the court is currently optimistic for the Cleveland Cavaliers. So maybe Scott feels that they can still continue the game as planned.
After Wu Dawei hit the free throw, the game started again. The Miami Heat controlled the ball. When they found Chris Carman on the court, the Miami Heat would deliberately increase the speed.
Although the Cleveland Cavaliers quickly retreated, they did not find a chance to launch a fast break, Chris Bosh, who was in charge of defense, frequently mentioned high positions to cover when the Miami people were attacking.
Although Kaman's movement speed is relatively fast compared to Ilgoskas, in front of Bosh, which is known for his sensitivity, it means that the tractor and the sports car are racing.
The Miami Heat scored several times with the pick-and-roll at this point, at least blocking the Cavaliers' original rapid momentum. In the subsequent games, the score was not pulled apart, but was gradually forced to approach.
Until halfway through the second quarter, the score was even tied by the Miami Heat, who played at home!
44:44!
Dwyne Wade relied on Bosh's pick-and-roll, and at the same time, he scored a jump shot near the middle distance before Carman's slow pace of rest!
This Chinese shot directly tied the score between the two sides. The Miami fans at the American Airlines Center in the game were finally able to shout again after holding it in for a long time!
"Beautiful! Wade helped the Heat equalize the score. They are playing better and better!"
Ernie Johnson cheered loudly in the commentary seat. The smugness and excitement in that voice made Charles Barkley beside him feel a little unhappy. However, Barkley now has no way to refute Ernie Johnson's words, because the Miami Heat have recently seized the slow movement of Carman on the defensive end and frequently shot mid-range after completing pick-and-roll on the offensive end.
Barkley was a little anxious, but fortunately the Cavaliers then requested a short pause. Faced with such a situation, Byron Scott finally made changes and adjusted the personnel.
Of course, Scott would never easily replace Kaman off the court. Although when Miami changed to a small lineup, Kaman could easily become the opponent's breakthrough on the defensive end, but also, as long as the rhythm is maintained, Kaman can create a greater advantage for the Cleveland Cavaliers on the offensive end.
Because the Miami Heat not only try to shrink the inside to defend Kaman, but also give the Cavaliers outside players a blockbuster gap and opportunity. At the same time, in order to prevent Kaman from scoring, they sometimes lose a lot of fouls. This is definitely good news for the Cavaliers!
So after Scott stopped, he brought Brazilian Valaijo and defensive engineer Anthony Parker to the court, so that the Cavaliers brought all the opening lineups to the court.
After the timeout, the Miami Heat also replaced the starting point guard Mario Chalmos on the court, which means that the topic time is officially over, and both sides will make their last fight for the first half.
The Cavaliers scored the first goal after the timeout. Billups passed the ball to Chris Carman. James was hesitant to assist in defense, so Carman crushed Bosh and completed the attack on the latter's head.
46:44, the Cavaliers took the lead again. After the offense and defense transition, the Miami people still tried to make the game faster. James rushed to the frontcourt and stopped just after being blocked by Wu Dawei. However, the ball in his hand did not stop and was passed directly to Mike Miller who rushed up from the other side.
Miller made a move outside the three-point line and hit!
46:47!
The American Airlines Center cheered this time, but the Cavaliers quickly attacked. When Kaman landed in a good position, Billups once again passed the ball to Kaman.
This time, James' assisted the defense very quickly, but Carman also divided the ball and Valejo got the ball on the sideline of the paint area. However, before the Brazilian launched a fast attack, Miller made up the defense in time. Similarly, seeing this, the Brazilian was not greedy for the ball, and the ball was transmitted again.
This time, Wu Dawei received the ball. It was near the middle distance, which was Wu Dawei's shooting hot zone. Wu Dawei did not hesitate. Before the Miami people's backup defense came, Wu Dawei completed this mid-range shot!
48:47, the ball accurately drilled into the basket! The cheers that had just sounded from the American Airlines Center lost their voices again in Wu Dawei's shot.
The lineups of both sides were once again in a stalemate, and no one could pull the other apart, but instead fought against each other!
Such a fierce game can be considered exciting, but this situation made the boxing champion Floyd Mothers sitting on the sidelines sigh. No matter what, the Cavaliers' lead in the big score makes them less anxious about the game, but the Heat's mentality is different. They are the side behind, and of course they hope to win this game as soon as possible.
Such a anxious situation means that the suspense of the game is still lingering between the two teams.
Although the Miami people on the sidelines and on the court were very anxious about such a anxious situation, they could not get the score wide until the end of the first half.
54:55, at the end of the first half, there was only one point gap. The Miamis only led by one point at the end of the half, which did not make them feel relieved. Until the moment the players entered the player channel, their expressions were extremely serious...
"Okay, the first half is over! The score is 54:55. The Miami Heat, who adjusted the roster tonight, played well. They led the Cleveland Cavaliers away at the end of the half! Although the score difference is small, it has improved compared to the previous game! The Miami people can at least have some slight advantages and play the second half in fifteen minutes!"
Although such a score does not satisfy Miami players, some people who support Miami think that such a result is acceptable or even good. Ernie Johnson said in the commentary seat.
Of course, the reason why the Miami Heat were able to lead the Cleveland Cavaliers by one point at the end of the half of the game tonight was not just because their temporary change of lineups received miraculous effects, but the stars' performance was also the top priority!
Dwyane Wade scored 16 points in the first half tonight. Relying on several fast-paced attacks, Wade played the best first half game since the series; and LeBron James also scored 8 points and 5 assists. In addition, although Chris Bosh could not contain Chris Carman on the defensive end, after coming to the offensive end, Bosh also scored 10 points and 4 rebounds in the first half with his flexible footsteps.
The performance of the three superstars, as well as some of the contributions of the role players, is the key to making the Miamis lead tonight.
On the Cavaliers, the number one player Wu Dawei also performed well. He scored 10 points in the first half and sent 4 assists and 3 steals, 1 block and 5 rebounds. Wu Dawei still performed extremely versatilely. However, his offense was somewhat disappointing.
"Wu Dawei scored 10 points in the first half, which is a good data. However, for him tonight, such a data is still a little less. Because the Miami Heat are more responsible for defending him in the first half, LeBron James, the best defensive player in the team, and veteran Mike Miller! Wu Dawei should have scored more points, so that the Cavaliers will not fall behind the Miami Heat in the half!"
Charles Barkley is not only a fan of Wu Dawei, but also his cheapness. Because of this, his expectations for Wu Dawei are particularly high. At least in Barkley's heart, Wu Dawei is his favorite young player in this league.
He is ambitious and talented, and is willing to work hard and strive. Therefore, naturally, Barkley will not always be bragging about Wu Dawei. Please comment on his shortcomings at the appropriate time. Barkley also hopes that Wu Dawei will become better!
"Indeed, Wu Dawei was indeed a bit unsatisfactory in the first half!" Ernie Johnson saw that Barkley rarely mentioned Wu Dawei's shortcomings, so he quickly interrogated, which made Fatty Ba feel dissatisfied.
"Erni, you're right! Wu Dawei has undoubtedly become the best player in this series! So, we will still feel dissatisfied with his performance! If such data is placed on other players, it will undoubtedly be extremely outstanding!"
Indeed, as Wu Dawei performs more and more outstandingly, people will naturally have higher and higher requirements for him. In what position he can obtain, the responsibility will naturally increase accordingly.
Chapter completed!
