The fifth game of the series between the Cavaliers and the Bulls will return to the United Center Arena in Chicago. This game will undoubtedly be very important for both sides. The Cavaliers are very likely to advance in this game, and the Bulls may also prosper in this game.

However, before the game, it is said that the league was preparing for the East Champion's crown ceremony. The Shenma champion shirt and the championship ball cap were ready. Although this is just a routine, it is not to prepare too hasty when the championship is really produced. However, it is indeed a way to affect the Chicago Bulls, which are on the verge of being eliminated before the game begins.

The unhappiness in my heart was sure, because such news reached the ears of the Chicago Bulls players who were preparing to play tonight, as if they were saying that they would definitely lose tonight's game.

Anyone who hears such a message will feel a little angry.

However, if a team is really sure to win a certain game, then they will undoubtedly not be disturbed by too many external factors. Obviously, the Chicago Bulls players are not like this. Although they won the first game of this series, the Cavaliers then used a three-game winning streak to make the confidence they had just built up in this series completely defeated.

After the Cleveland Cavaliers figured out the Chicago game routines, they came up with corresponding methods to target Derek Ross, the core of the Bulls. Although the Chicago Bulls knew that Wu Dawei played a crucial role in the Cavaliers' game, they just couldn't completely limit Wu Dawei's performance.

First, they did not have the extremely outstanding forward guards to compete with Wu Dawei, and second, they did not find any effective method to limit Wu Dawei like the Cavaliers restricted Derek Ross' performance.

To put it another way, it can also be said that Wu Dawei is stronger than Derek Ross! Although Derek Ross is the MVP winner this season. His performance at No. 1 position is nowhere to be picked, he sometimes still has relatively immature performance in the playoffs.

And Wu Dawei was amazed all the way!

On the evening of June 4, such a crucial game kicked off at 8 o'clock in the evening at the United Center in Chicago. Both sides still did not make any adjustments to the lineup.

The Cavaliers still let Wu Dawei be responsible for defending Derek Ross. At this point, it seems that the Bulls' head coach Tom Thibodeau does not have any good way to crack it. After all, the defender can choose the person he wants to defend. The offensive can only passively accept it.

Ross has not performed well in the defense of Wu Dawei in the past two games. So when the game started, the Bulls got the opening ball, and Derek Ross took the ball through half the game. When he encountered Wu Dawei's defense, he immediately made the Chicago fans in the stadium sweat for him.

When Wu Dawei made a defensive posture on the court to guard Derek Ross in front of him, the time made Chicago fans have an extremely bad premonition!

Ross failed in his first attack at the beginning, facing Wu Dawei. He chose to cooperate with his teammates and made a high jump shot, but the moment Ross jumped up, Wu Dawei's diving defense was still very timely.

When Ross jumped in the air, Wu Dawei's big hands followed one after another. The sudden blockage made Ross panic in the air, and this time the action became a little hasty.

The basketball came out of the basket and the ball came to the hands of the Cleveland Cavaliers. This process is also very familiar to Chicago fans. Because in the past two games played at the home Quick Loan Center at the Cleveland Cavaliers, the game was also staged in the opening stage. Although those two games were not played in Chicago, Chicago fans watched the game on TV or computers, and naturally they understood the situation of the game at that time.

Sure enough, after the ball rights came to the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Clevelanders quickly completed the offense. The Cavaliers are now extremely confident on the offensive end, especially tonight's game. The leading scores made the players play much more calmly on the court than before.

After completing the scoring, the Cavaliers tried to establish some advantage in tonight's game, but obviously, the Chicago Bulls, who have been forced into a desperate situation by the Cavaliers, were also extremely tenacious tonight.

The Cavaliers failed to play in the second offense at the opening game, and gave the Chicago Bulls a chance. Carlos Boozer singles and made a jump shot from Andre Valejo, and the score was equalized.

This is almost a situation between the two sides in the first quarter, a balanced situation. In the first quarter, neither side could do anything to each other. The score was tied at 23:23. However, although the Bulls performed well in the overall first quarter, Derek Ross still did not perform well.

As the team's number one star, the data that contributed 2 points and 1 assist in a single quarter, undoubtedly made the Chicago fans who came to the United Center tonight feel somewhat disappointed. The team's number one star has no performance, and it will undoubtedly be much more difficult for a team to win.

Although the Bulls did not fall behind in the first quarter, they ended the first quarter with a flat situation. But the Bulls fans were still a little worried because Derek Ross' body had never improved. Even in the second quarter, he performed better than in the first quarter.

Derek Ross, who scored 6 points and only 3 assists at the end of the first half, was a big loss. The team's star's performance was like a catastrophe for the Chicago Bulls!

They were not behind the Cavaliers in the first quarter, but after the second quarter, when Derek Ross' performance still did not improve, the Bulls could not resist the Cavaliers' bombardment on them on both offense and defense!

50:43, the Cavaliers were 7 points behind in the first half. This situation was almost like a replica of the first two games, which undoubtedly made the Chicago fans who came to the United Center Arena tonight feel a little sad.

However, during the fifteen minutes of the halftime break, the Chicagoans still had some expectations for the second half. After all, although the Bulls were behind in the half, they were only 7 points, and they were still far from desperate.

During the break, the Chicago Bulls' best coach of the season, Tom Thibodeau, also told the players that he also had the same expectations as Chicago fans that the Bulls could have a fantastic second half.

In the locker room of the visiting team where the Cavaliers are located, the Cavaliers' head coach Byron Scott of course only emphasized one thing, that is, he hopes that the team can continue to maintain such an advantage created in the first half in the second half.

In this regard, the Cavaliers players are full of confidence. At this point, the lead in the big score, the lead in the first half, and the completely different states of the team's main players are all the reasons why the Cavaliers' self-confidence is stronger than the Bulls.

Wu Dawei scored 14 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks in the first half, which can be said to have completely beaten the core player of the Chicago Bulls, and the MVP winner this season, Derek Ross.

The two people's completely different performances in the first half of the game naturally brought their teammates a completely different feeling of confidence. Undoubtedly, the Cavaliers will have a comprehensive physical and mental advantage in the second half of the game.

After a fifteen-minute break, when the second half kicked off, things did go on according to such a script. The Bulls did not play the state Chicago fans expected at the beginning of the third quarter. Now, this should be called a luxury.

Because the Chicago Bulls not only did not recover the score in the second half, but it was a big trend. Derek Ross's performance without any improvement became a fatal injury to the Chicago Bulls.

In the fast attack, Ross was able to use his advantage in speed to fight Wu Dawei, and in the positional battle, he was completely restricted. Although Ross' extremely fast starting rhythm in the positional battle has always been his big killer weapon, Wu Dawei's prediction ability easily resolved his killer move...

The Cavaliers did not play too radically in the third quarter. Perhaps it was because the closer they were to the victory, the more cautious people would be. Therefore, the difference between the two teams in the third quarter was not immediately widened by the Cleveland Cavaliers.

But despite this, the game is still unstoppable and developing towards a one-sided trend. Because the Chicago Bulls, who play at home, seem to have the idea of ​​giving up the game.

Perhaps it was the comparison of the Cavaliers' performance and their own performance that made this group of young people feel hopeless to win, so they gave up on themselves. Although the Bulls are the first in the East District League this year, the overall age of the team is not very large. Young players led by Derek Ross and Jockin Noah are the core of the entire team.

Vitality has always been synonymous with young people. Similarly, it is easy to give up on oneself without hope, which is also something that happens from time to time. Undoubtedly, such a slow pace that has not been able to catch up with the Cavaliers is one of the reasons why these young people who have played extremely well this season want to give up the game.
