Wu Dawei used a 2+1 score after colliding with Kevin Garnett, which restored some vitality to the fast loan center, which had been dull for most of the game. At the same time, he also caught up with the score difference.

The 3-point gap even takes only one round of offense to catch up. And before that, Chauncey Billups had already hit two three-pointers, so doing the next defense became the top priority of the Cavaliers.

Paul Pierce received a pass from Lajo Rondo at a high position. Pierce had already hit a mid-range shot before, and this time, Paul Pierce still seemed to be planning to end the attack with a mid-range shot.

But Wu Dawei did not give this old guy any face. After just completing his wonderful performance of playing Kevin Garnett in the interior, Wu Dawei returned to the defensive end, and this time he directly used a big hat to make Paul Pierce look unfair.

The Cavaliers launched a counterattack and the rapid advancement was one of the few things the Cavaliers did this season. Billups came to the frontcourt and then made a two-for-one with Valejo, easily completing the offense at the basket again.

12:11, the Cavaliers immediately caught the difference after the timeout. This situation made Mark Murphy, a reporter from the Boston Herald, who was in good mood before, dim the expression of the expression of Mark Murphy.

However, the situation continued to deteriorate for the Boston Celtics. When they completed the goal in the next round of offense and once again widened the gap to three-pointers, they turned around and Chauncey Billups relied on Wu Dawei's pick-and-roll to make another three-pointer.

It just tied the score.

The score of 14:14 did not become the turning point in such a game, because in a subsequent attack, Rajo Rondo broke through the inside and helped the Boston Celtics take over again.

However, the Cavaliers spent their hesitation at the beginning and gradually got into shape at this time. Before that, Wu Dawei, who only relied on a dunk and free throw, immediately completed a mid-range shot after pick-and-roll on the offensive end.

This is a common trick used by the Cavaliers. The pick-and-roll of Wu Dawei and Billups has become their established tactic. Such a tactic is hit. It also means that the Cavaliers at least have not been fooled by the Boston Celtics as they were just beginning the game.

At the end of the first quarter, the two sides tied 23:23. This was the first time in this round of the series that both sides tied at the end of the first quarter. In the previous five games, either the Cavaliers were leading or the Celtics were leading. They had never been evenly matched.

But similarly, this series is not a one-sided battle. Although the Cavaliers are currently leading in big scores, they are a few days ago. The Boston Celtics are behind.

Wu Dawei did not perform too well in the first quarter, and his hesitation in the first half of the quarter dragged him down. At the end of the first quarter, he scored 5 points, only 1 block, 2 assists and 3 rebounds.

This can even be said to be unqualified for Wu Dawei, who has performed extremely amazingly since this year's playoffs. Fortunately, this i-scene did not last for too long. In the second quarter, Wu Dawei played his due level, at least in the eyes of others.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Cavaliers' substitute lineup helped the Cavaliers to establish a little advantage, but the Celtics head coach Doug Rivers quickly reacted. The Bostonian hurriedly requested a timeout, and after the timeout, Rivers replaced Paul Pierce on the court. At the same time, the Cavaliers also replaced Wu Dawei on the court.

Usually, Wu Dawei is the first player to play among the players. Because he is the youngest player in the team and the core of head coach Byron Scott relies on the most. Unless it is Ramon Sessions who plays really badly, the opponent takes away the rhythm of the game. Then Scott will talk about Chauncey Billups and also replace it with the court.

Although Wu Dawei is now called an all-round warrior by many people, he certainly has his own expertise and bad luck. He can rely on his excellent defensive ability to destroy the opponent's offense on the defensive end and lead his team to launch an offense to create a fast pace; but he cannot control the speed of the rhythm on the court like a defender.

Although Paul Pierce is the core of the Celtics' offensive tactics, he is not the point guard. He still has to rely on his substitute point guard to dribble the ball through half the court and hand the ball over to him.

This gave Wu Dawei a chance. Of course, it was impossible for the Celtics' substitute point guard to be as outstanding as their All-Star point guard Rajo Rondo. After Wu Dawei played, he immediately contributed two steals to the team. He directly helped the Cavaliers play two wonderful defensive counterattacks, and suddenly turned the score into a 30:35 and 5-point lead, making the cheers from the Quick Loan Center almost harsh.

Doug Rivers also hurriedly continued to adjust the personnel seats, and Lajo Rondo immediately went on the stage. At the same time, Byron Scott, on the Cavaliers, also hurriedly replaced Chauncey Billups on the court.

Although the score was finally not widened anymore. Instead, it was caught up by the Bostonians, the Cavaliers played much better in the second quarter than in the first quarter.

At least they were no longer a passive chaser, but were once again in their own home speed loan center, and finally the situation continued until the end of the second quarter.

At the end of the first half, at 52:54, the Cavaliers, who played at home, led the Boston Celtics away, and entered the locker room by 2 points. Although the two-point lead was enough to ensure anything, at least it allowed the Cavaliers to stand in front of the Bostonians.

There are also some advantages in my heart. Wu Dawei's performance in the second quarter has improved greatly compared to the first quarter. In the second quarter, he contributed 8 points to the team and gave 2 steals and 1 block and 4 rebounds in a single quarter. It is precisely because Wu Dawei's game condition has been warming up, the Cavaliers' overall performance has also improved.

At least from the score in front of them, the Cavaliers' winning odds are obviously greater. In the second half, they can win this game about the Cavaliers' survival and death as long as they keep the same score as the Celtics.

However, the chance of this happening is too small. If the Cavaliers want to win tonight's game, they should not be too rude. Therefore, the key is to look at the team's state in the second half.

In the eyes of many people, Wu Dawei's performance is now crucial to whether the Cavaliers can win in the game.

"Wu Dawei's performance in the first half is not so satisfying!" Kenny Smith talked about Wu Dawei's performance in the first half during the break. He said: "Especially in the first quarter, if it weren't for the 2+1 and there was a little attention, I wouldn't find Wu Dawei's presence. As the team's number one person, if it were invisible in the game, then the Cavaliers will be finished tonight!"

"So Wu Dawei's performance in the second quarter was much better!" Charles Barkley hurriedly came out to whitewash Wu Dawei...

Wu Dawei, who returned to the locker room, also understood his importance to the team now. Moreover, this season he has become accustomed to the team's victory or defeat and his performance.

He understood that if he wanted to win, he had to perform better in the second half. Especially when the Boston Celtics were in good shape, Wu Dawei knew that he needed to work harder.

On the other side, in the visiting team's locker room, Boston Celtics head coach Doug Rivers was extremely dissatisfied with the team's performance in the first half. Although it was Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, Rajo Rondo, and even Paul Pierce who directly faced Wu Dawei, he performed well in the offensive end of the first half.

But at the same time, Doug Rivers emphasized the issue of turnover control before the start of this game, the Celtics did not do well in the first half. Wu Dawei still got two steals and two blocks in the first half. These are data that directly increase the number of mistakes of the Celtics and create fast attacks for the Cavaliers.

However, Rivers did not blame his players too much on this, because he also realized that it would be useless to completely curb Wu Dawei in this regard. After so many long playoffs, although Wu Dawei still seems a little immature sometimes, he has grown rapidly. Therefore, instead of thinking about how to limit Wu Dawei, it is better to maximize their own advantages.

The Celtics performed well on the offensive end in the first half, and several major players were in good condition. The Cavaliers only had one Wu Dawei, and the other players were against the Celtics players in other positions.

The Cavaliers' performance in the playoffs this season is called a dark horse. Although the dark horse is a compliment, it also indirectly shows that the team's strength is still somewhat different from the Celtics, who have become the top tyrant in the league in recent years.

Therefore, even if Wu Dawei is unstoppable, as long as the Celtics perform well in other positions, it is not impossible to win the game.

However, in the second half of the game, the reality is often unpredictable.
