86. Sudden trouble
After James came on the court, the Miami Heat regained its position. Although LeBron, who faced Wu Dawei directly tonight, was not outstanding before, and he rarely had the upper hand in every confrontation with Wu Dawei. However, James' comprehensive ability helped the Miami Heat maintain sufficient competitiveness on both offense and defense.
Even though he was defended by Wu Dawei on the offensive end, James was able to rely on his excellent field vision and talent in organizing offense to help the Miami Heat score points on the offensive end; at the same time, LeBron James is also an excellent defensive player on the defensive end.
His assisted defense can also be said to be the top presence in the league.
When James played, it was almost half of the time in the second quarter, so the game naturally entered the competition between the core players. However, at this time, the Cavaliers head coach Byron Scott still did not replace Kyrie Irving.
Although Kyrie Irving was beaten by Dwayne Wade when he just started the game tonight, with Wu Dawei's appearance, with his help, Kyrie Irving's performance on the court improved. Naturally, head coach Byron Scott decided to continue to put him on the court to exercise.
If a team wants to have a long-lasting peak, superstars are naturally the foundation. At present, the Cleveland Cavaliers already have Wu Dawei, a superstar who currently ranks first in the league's MVP list, but they will not dislike the team's other superstar!
Although the team with the most stars does not necessarily guarantee that they will definitely win the O'Brien Cup, but the stars are the guarantee and tone of winning the championship. Even those so-called civilian champions in the history of the league, which team does not have a few super stars?
"Big Ben" Ben Wallace, "Smiling Assassin" Isaiah Thomas, are these people belonging to the general unknown people?
Obviously not.
If the team that needs to win the most tonight is the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are currently experiencing two consecutive losses, then the person who wants to win this game is LeBron James, the star of the Miami Heat!
Although the Miami Heat won the Cleveland Cavaliers last season, the eight losses after that victory made LeBron James feel a little ashamed.
Therefore, at the moment when the Cleveland Cavaliers are in a bad situation, LeBron James is of course eager to defeat his old club, the Cleveland Cavaliers and win the first encounter between the two sides this season. The end of the Cleveland Cavaliers losing streak, and also usher in a good start to the team against the Cleveland Cavaliers this season.
After returning to the court, James immediately exerted the microwave effect just like Wu Dawei before. On the offensive end, he first assisted his teammates to score, and closed the score to 4 points again, and then blocked the defense in the defensive end, allowing the Miami Heat to regain control of the ball.
However, when the Miami man attacked Cleveland's half with the ball and was preparing to complete the attack again in the inside and continue to further narrow the gap. Wu Dawei, who faced LeBron James in a tit-for-tat way, naturally would not sit and watch LeBron James show off alone.
Wu Dawei also completed the block on the defensive end, and the Cavaliers turned defense to offense, which once again widened the gap to as much as 6 points. But then, James relied on his teammates' pick-and-roll to complete an attack outside the three-point line on the offensive end.
Although Wu Dawei tried his best to block James's eyes, the ball ended up hitting the basket. A lucky shot helped the Miami Heat narrow the gap to 3 points again.
Next, the double convenience immediately fell into a stalemate in which no one could defeat the opponent. The game fell silent for a while, but the time of the game was still in the battle between the two sides. It has been steadily passing.
51:54, the final score difference in the second quarter was frozen above three points. Although the Miami Heat and the Cleveland Cavaliers fought hard before, they did not widen or further narrowed the score difference.
Although he still entered the second half with the backward side, Miami Heat head coach Pat Riley can still accept such a result for the time being. However, compared with the team's head coach, LeBron James is very dissatisfied with such a result.
He walked off the court with a dark face, making Charles Barkley on the commentator's seat feel unspeakable.
"The Miami Heat thought they had met Soft Persimmon during the Cavaliers' two consecutive defeats, but they never thought about it. In fact, in the eyes of the Clevelanders, the Miami Heat, which had won one and eight defeats against the Cavaliers last season, was the real Soft Persimmon!"
Barkley laughed and teased LeBron James with a full confidence in this game before the game, saying: "The Cleveland Cavaliers must have thanked God for sending the Miami Heat to their eyes in such a difficult time. Perhaps when LeBron James made a fuss in front of the media and said that he was full of confidence in this game, Wu Dawei saw the words "end of a losing streak" on his face..."
Barkley's mouth was unreasonable. This words fell into Darnell Richardson's ears, which made the Florida Sentinel reporter gritted his teeth and thought that if the Miami Heat won the game tonight, he must mock this fat man who was talking nonsense!
However, the current situation made Richardson unable to stretch his frown.
Wu Dawei contributed 15 points to the Cavaliers in the first half, and also had 8 rebounds and 5 assists. On the defensive end, Wu Dawei still got 4 blocks and 2 steals for the Cavaliers. Although Barkley always likes to talk nonsense with eloquence, he is indeed not wrong about Wu Dawei.
Wu Dawei's performance this season is not only a highlight, but also so stable that it makes people feel terrifying. So far this season, he seems to have never performed abnormally!
Although LeBron James also scored 12 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists after the half, Darnell Richardson always felt a little worried. He followed this Miami Heat, which has the Big Three as its core, and has traveled many games, almost all with the other 28 teams in the league. Only when playing against the Cleveland Cavaliers did he feel so unsure.
Is this the so-called natural enemy attribute?
Not only Darnell Richardson, a reporter from the Florida Sentinels who were sitting on the sidelines, was depressed, but the Miami Heat players were also extremely depressed. They thought they would have a greater chance of this game, but they didn't expect that they were beaten up by the Cleveland Cavaliers as soon as they started. Although they quickly stabilized their positions, they still lag behind at the end of the half and gave the Cleveland Cavaliers 3 points.
No matter how small the difference in points behind is, it is a disadvantage. This is completely different from what the Miami Heat imagined in their minds before coming to Cleveland...
During the fifteen minutes of the halftime break, no one knew what Pat Riley and the Miami Heat players said in the locker room, because the door to the locker room was always closed. It was not until the second half that the Miami Heat players came out of the locker room expressionlessly and ran back to the court to warm up for the second half of the game.
Although the Cavaliers were the leading side in the first half, there was not much laughter in the home team's locker room during the halftime break. After all, although they were ahead, they only led by 3 points. Although the Miami Heat only won one game in the past nine games against the Cavaliers. However, this was the first time the two sides had played against this season. No one knew what the Miami Heat hadn't shown after a summer.
So although the Cleveland Cavaliers led the opponent in the first half, the game was still relatively difficult in the second half.
The fifteen-minute break passed quickly, and the game started again, and both sides were still the starting lineup of the original class.
The ball rights in the second half were in the hands of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Chauncey Billups controlled the ball through the half, and then he handed the ball to Wu Dawei. Wu Dawei, who had just got the ball from outside the three-point line, immediately encountered LeBron James's tightening force!
This is an extremely sudden action!
The two of them immediately got together. Wu Dawei hurriedly dribbled backwards, trying to get rid of James' pressing, but James was obviously a snake with the stick! The sudden change in tension on the court made the Cleveland fans who came to the Speed Loan Center tonight feel tight. James' pressing was very sudden, and even Wu Dawei was a little unprepared.
Fortunately, he quickly calmed down. Wu Dawei retreated while protecting the ball. At the same time, Valejo and Wu rushed to the high position to prepare for pick-and-roll. Wu Dawei seized the opportunity and took advantage of the moment when James tried to intercept the ball, he suddenly waved the ball to the side, and then launched an attack on the inside!
Bypassing Valaijo's side, James was blocked behind him. Wu Dawei looked up at the time. The attack time was still very short. He rushed into the inside and faced the blocking of Chris Bosh. Wu Dawei suddenly made a fake move and swayed Bosh high!
Then, relying on the time difference, Wu Dawei hit the ball into the basket in the paint area!
At this time, the 24-second time limit for the attack also turned on a red light!
51:56!
Although the Cavaliers scored at the beginning of the second half, the Cleveland fans at the Quick Loan Center were a little shocked... They looked at the Miami Heat players who had suddenly attacked before and found that the situation on the court did not seem to have been alleviated by Wu Dawei's goal...
Chapter completed!
