88. Nibble away little by little
Regarding Wu Dawei, LeBron James only had one thought in his mind: that was to defeat him completely! In addition, LeBron James almost didn't want to have any connection with this person who "stole" everything he once had in Cleveland.
LeBron James only had a heart to try to make a big move after feeling humiliated! Last season, he and his good friends Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh formed the three giants that shocked the world in Miami, for the trophy that made him out of reach. Unfortunately, he was disrupted by the dark horse Cleveland Cavaliers and Wu Dawei. So this season, he not only wanted to take revenge, but also had to win the O'Brien Cup!
So although this game is just one of the 66 regular season games this season, there is nothing special at all, but LeBron James still wants to win this game!
He stood outside the three-point line with the ball and faced Wu Dawei, who had just performed bravely, and felt indescribable anger. He was going to play one single, so he started to move outside the three-point line with a fierce look. His look of waiting for an opportunity also made Wu Dawei in front of him also tremble!
Of course, Wu Dawei would not let LeBron James easily cross his defense line. No matter from any aspect, since Wu Dawei made his fortune in Cleveland and gradually became the best star here, until he finally grabbed LeBron James' limelight, he had already stood opposite to LeBron James. Last season, he led the team to almost defeat LeBron in both the regular season and the playoffs. James and his Miami Heat made the relationship between the two even more inconsistent.
Moreover, this game may be just an ordinary regular season game for the Miami Heat, but for the current Cleveland Cavaliers, it can even be regarded as a "must-win" game!
Although the outside world's public opinion actually has not a big impact on a team. But if you are always nagging by the outside world, there are people in your ears saying that you are no longer able to do it. Then it will have some negative impact on this team.
Facing the impact of LeBron James ready to go, Wu Dawei was unmoved, but there was already a scream in the Quick Loan Center. Until James rushed from outside the three-point line, Wu Dawei had made all the preparations to meet his powerful impact!
Wu Dawei resisted LeBron James's body. However, the fierce impact made him feel a little uncomfortable. James' body was as strong as steel and cement. No wonder even Yao Ming said that it was like hitting this guy, just like hitting a wall...
Under the impact of James, General Wu Dawei stopped his swaying figure. Although he was prepared for this collision, Wu Dawei almost fell to the ground.
James's movements were very reckless. Wu Dawei even felt that he was suspected of dribbling the ball to hit someone, but the referee's whistle did not sound, and LeBron James' fierce breakthrough did not stop. At this time, Wu Dawei naturally had no time to complain about anything.
But he became a little angry. Because James' actions were really big, many of them even touched the bottom line of fouls in Wu Dawei's eyes, but the referee turned a blind eye to this.
Damn!
Facing James's arm waved, Wu Dawei no longer gave in! He protected his chest with both hands and pushed forward hard!
LeBron James also felt this fierce counterattack. He looked at Wu Dawei who was entangled with him from the corner of his eyes and snorted coldly. With the help of Wu Dawei's push, he directly completed a turn!
This was a sudden action, which caused a burst of exclamations in the stadium. James also relied on this turn to face the basket directly at the top of the paint area!
After turning around, James jumped up without any hesitation, and then tried to throw the ball into the basket with a hook. However, Wu Dawei had already gained some insight into this. Although he had been a little addicted to the competition with LeBron James before, he was not distracted.
The moment James threw the ball into the basket, Wu Dawei also rushed into the sky like an eagle ready to go! James thought that his series of movements had been done fast enough, but he never thought that Wu Dawei was faster than him. It seemed as if he had learned about his next move before this!
The ball was slapped away by Wu Dawei, but it was still caught by Miami Heat players at the three-point line. After getting the ball, Dwyne Wade took a big step into the three-point line, and then he stopped and took a quick stop!
With a swish, the ball finally got into the basket!
58:61.
The score was reduced to 3 points. After Wu Dawei scored 5 points and blocked twice in a row, the Miami Heat finally scored again. However, in terms of morale, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who still played at home, had the advantage.
Although this time, the shot that took the bargain helped the Miami Heat catch up with the point difference between the two sides again, it did not bring much improvement in morale to the Miami Heat.
Wu Dawei's blocking for LeBron James really made LeBron James feel a little fluctuated. His shot was blocked by Wu Dawei again at such a critical moment. Even before that, he was full of confidence in his series of actions, but Wu Dawei still seemed to have understood all his intentions. Although James had experienced this experience countless times when facing Wu Dawei, every time it made him feel very frustrated.
If LeBron James had read Journey to the West, he would feel like Monkey King could not escape the Five Finger Mountain of Tathagata Buddha!
The Miamis scored a goal, and then the ball naturally returned to the hands of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Wu Dawei's performance in the second half was enough to drive the morale of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
After halfway through the dribble, Chauncey Billups first made a pick-and-roll with Wu Dawei at a high position. At this moment, Wu Dawei was enough to make the Miami people feel worried both on both offense and defense. Naturally, they attach great importance to this pick-and-roll. However, Billups used the pick-and-roll to kill the inside, and he did not choose to cooperate with Wu Dawei. Instead, after breaking into the inside, he passed the ball to Brazilian Andre Valejo.
Because Wu Dawei's current efficient performance on both offense and defense ends and Chris Carman still performs in obscurity in the game, the Miami people's current defensive focus will naturally be mainly concentrated on the periphery.
After getting the ball, Valejo had a great opportunity to dunk. He did not waste such an opportunity. He completed the dunk with his hands!
58:63. After the morale was greatly boosted, the Cavaliers also performed more calmly on the offensive end.
Although Wu Dawei did not directly participate in the offense in this round, his influence restrained the energy of the Miami people. This also indirectly gave Andre Valaisho the opportunity to dunk.
Back on the defensive end, the Miami people's ball rights are still controlled by LeBron James. No matter how much James suffered in front of Wu Dawei tonight, this will not shake his position as the core of the Miami Heat.
Because if it was not LeBron James who was playing against Wu Dawei, but others in the Miami Heat, they might face a worse situation. Wu Dawei, as the best defensive player in the Cleveland Cavaliers, was arranged by head coach Byron Scott to defend LeBron James. It is precisely because of LeBron James' outstanding ability that only Wu Dawei can compete with the Cavaliers.
James still chose to attack by himself this time because he saw an opportunity. After using the pick-and-roll, James broke into the inside again, and then carried Wu Dawei into the paint area and pushed Wu Dawei away with a big butt, and then hit the board and into the basket.
60:63.
Although the Miami Heat's situation in the game is not optimistic, it is obvious that they will not give up on this game so easily.
The fierce game made the Cleveland fans sitting on the sidelines feel a little nervous, but at the same time, they are very excited about a tense and intense game.
This feeling of "pain and happiness" is the most ecstatic.
The Miami Heat's goal approached the score again, but the Cleveland Cavaliers then reassured the fans who came to the Speed Loan Center tonight. After Chauncey Billups took the ball through half the game, he directly passed the ball to Wu Dawei.
Wu Dawei took the ball outside the three-point line and took a shot directly. Even at this time, LeBron James in front of him rushed forward after reacting, but he was still a little slower.
The ball flew out of Wu Dawei's palm, and the arc that flew towards the basket was firm and full, making the ball just like a sharp sword!
With a swish, the hottest cheers sounded from the Quick Loan Center!
60:66!
The score was once again pulled open, and Wu Dawei was still the person who played the best in the third quarter. The Cleveland Cavaliers have scored 12 points so far in the second half, while Wu Dawei won 8 points alone!
A three-pointer, a 2+1 and a basket score. Wu Dawei has not missed a shot in the third quarter, and he was able to block LeBron repeatedly. James made an offensive move, but James was unable to block Wu Dawei's attack as Wu Dawei did to him.
Just from this point of view, the two of them have already made a judgment on the right and wrong!
Although James was making a fuss on the offensive end, assisting his teammates to score two points again and continue to catch up with the score. The Cavaliers are still not willing to be outdone.
Chris Carman finally showed some energy in the inside again. After receiving Wu Dawei's pass from the wing, he singled Joel Anthony with his back to score with a hook-in at the basket. At this moment, he was the heroic figure he had when he defeated the Miami Heat in the first round of the playoffs last season!
62:68, the score difference was once again widened by the Cavaliers. During this period, the two sides were having a good time, and the game was very lively. The game seemed to be a stalemate, but Darnell Richardson, a reporter from the Florida Sentinel who came to Cleveland with the Heat, who was sitting off the court, came to Cleveland with the Heat, but his face became increasingly unpleasant.
Although the current situation seems to be a stalemate, Richardson, who is eager to win the Miami Heat tonight's game, knows that although the two teams are stalemate and attack each other, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who play at home, actually have the advantage.
From the 3 points that just started the second half to now, it has gradually opened to 6 points. Although the Miami Heat are in good condition on the offensive end, in this way, the Clevelanders will eventually erode all the hope of winning bit by bit!
But facing this situation at this moment, Richardson was helpless. Although he was a reporter from the newspaper that had close ties with the Miami Heat, he was just a fan at the beginning of the game.
"Get angry, LeBron and Dwyne!"
Richardson was extremely anxious, but at this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers scored again with Wu Dawei's steal on the defensive end!
The score difference was suddenly widened to 8 points, and was about to be pulled apart to double digits. Richardson had already been calm and confident before the game, and became impatient.
Brian Windhorst, who was sitting next to him, saw all Richardson's actions. At this moment, looking at Richardson who was restless like a monkey, Windhorst felt funny and couldn't help but "comfort" his colleague: "Mr. Richardson, it doesn't matter. There is still time for the game, and the Heat still have a chance..."
"snort!"
Richardson snorted coldly when he heard this, ignoring the proud Windhorst beside him. He wanted to be the Miami Heat that he really finished the final turnover. I won’t humiliate you to death!
Obviously, Richardson discovered that the Cavaliers expanded their advantage little by little. Miami Heat head coach Pat Riley is old, so he naturally discovered such a situation that was not conducive to the Miami Heat.
On the court, when the Cavaliers widened the score difference to 8 points, the Miami Heat finally requested a timeout. Anyone can see that if they continue to play like this, the Cleveland Cavaliers won the game and ended the decline of those two consecutive losses, it would be a foregone conclusion!
Chapter completed!
