111. Different goals

The two teams had offensive and defensive in the second quarter, neither of them had much disadvantages nor had they played much advantage. However, the Cavaliers always maintained their 4-point lead until the moment the end of the second quarter.

In this quarter, Wu Dawei still gave the Cavaliers a great help. It was precisely because of Wu Dawei's outstanding performance after he returned to the game in the second quarter that the Cavaliers defended the fierce attack of the Los Angeles people.

54:50, at the end of the half, the Cavaliers still led their opponent by 4 points, and Wu Dawei made great contributions. He scored 16 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals in the half.

Especially when the Clippers launched a large-scale counterattack in the second quarter, Wu Dawei helped the Cleveland Cavaliers to stabilize the situation on the court repeatedly, which played a crucial role. If Wu Dawei had not played on both offense and defense at that time, then perhaps the Cavaliers would have been surpassed by the Los Angeles Clippers who were fighting at home.

Although the lead advantage is not much, entering the second half of the game, this will allow the players of the Cleveland Cavaliers who play away to gain some psychological advantages.

After the whistle at the end of the midfield sounded, both sides quickly walked off the court and began to return to the locker room one after another.

"If the Los Angeles Clippers can slightly curb some of Wu Dawei's performance in the second quarter, then they will definitely not be able to face such a situation now. They should strengthen their defense against Wu Dawei. As long as they can defend Wu Dawei, it will basically be equivalent to cutting off one of the Cleveland Cavaliers' legs! Wu Dawei's role in the Cavaliers has long surpassed others. Didn't the Clippers' head coach Nigro see it?"

On the side of the court, in addition to the fans not being very satisfied with the score at the end of the first half, the local TV commentator in Los Angeles who was sitting on the sidelines naturally had some complaints. Especially in the second quarter, Wu Dawei helped the Cavaliers stabilize the situation, the Clippers did not make too many adjustments to him, whether on both offense and defense.

Obviously, Clippers head coach Nigro also noticed this. During the half-time break, he looked at the half-time statistics list obtained from the staff. Wu Dawei's comprehensive data was quite dazzling, and Nigro made up his mind to prevent Wu Dawei in the second half of the game during the half-time break.

As for this, Wu Dawei, who was feasting in the locker room, had no idea. After returning to the locker room, he got into the dining table and took some things before returning to his seat. While chatting with his teammates and flirting with his stomach.

Although the lead score was not many points in the first half, only 4 points, it was still an acceptable and even made them feel good. After all, this is a away game. Being able to lead the opponent in other people's territory at halftime will not only give you a psychological advantage, but will also have some psychological impact on the opponent.

This is a killing two birds with one stone. In the second half, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are leading away from home, have to do well to play their own basketball like in the first half. At the same time, the only thing they need to do better than the first half is to defend the cooperation between the Clippers point guard Chris Paul and their team's two inside players.

Aerial relay made the Los Angeles Clippers famous in one goal last season, not to mention that this season has become their iconic thing. They are good at making such attacks in fast breaks to hit the opponent's morale.

Although the Cavaliers took good care of the opponent's two inside players in the first half and defended their cooperation several times, the Clippers still completed many aerial relays. In the second half, this was the only place the Cavaliers need to strengthen.

The Cavaliers played very well in the first half. In addition to Wu Dawei, Billups also scored 6 points and 6 assists, Kyrie Irving scored 8 points, and the average scored scattered, but Wu Dawei was the only one who scored in double digits. On the Clippers, there were three people who scored triple-double, namely Chris Paul's 12 points and 5 assists, Blake Griffin's 10 points and Morris Williams's 10 points.

Both teams had completely different goals during the half-time break, and the second half of the game quickly kicked off again. The fifteen-minute break was not long or short, which just allowed the players who had played 24 minutes before to restore some physical strength.

After the game started again, the competition between the two sides continued. Although the Clippers were behind in the first half, it was obvious that they wanted to quickly recover the 4-point disadvantage in the second half.

But the Cavaliers cannot make them do what they want so easily. After all, this is on the away game. For the Cavaliers players, every point must be fought for to give them a close grasp of the hope of victory tonight.

The game will begin after both sides return to the court, and neither side makes any adjustments to the starting lineup. Generally, if nothing unexpected happens, the head coach will not make any changes to the lineup during the game.

Since the Clippers competed for the ball at the beginning, the Cleveland Cavaliers were the first to kick off the ball in the 2 and 3rd quarters.

Chauncey Billups took the ball from his teammates, and then he encountered Chris Paul's tight defense in the backcourt. Although Paul's sudden robbery caught Billups off guard, fortunately, the experienced Billups quickly reacted.

He quickly protected the ball, and then used his teammate's pick-and-roll toss Paul away and rushed towards the frontcourt. Wu Dawei had been waiting in the frontcourt for a long time. Seeing that Paul was thrown away, the Clippers' defensive formation was a little scattered at this time, Wu Dawei hurriedly started moving from the wing to the inside.

As the defender of the organization, Changxi Billups naturally saw clearly. So he did not stop after halftime. Instead, after seeing Wu Dawei and his teammates of the Cavaliers start to move, Billups continued to rush towards the inside without hesitation!

He soon ushered in the defense. When Wu Dawei rushed to the inside, Caron Butler followed him. When Butler saw that Billups rushed in without defending, Butler didn't think so, he just made up for defense.

Because Billups, who rushed to the free throw line at this time, was unprepared for defense, and Wu Dawei, who ran into the paint area, would sooner or later encounter Blake Griffin and DeAndrew Jordan!

So this is almost not a multiple-choice question, but Butler rushed up and stopped Billups' advance. However, the ball did not stop in Billups' hands. He waved his hand and passed it out.

Caron Butler looked back along the ball and found that Wu Dawei, who had been rushing into the paint area, had already run out of the three-point line. Standing outside the three-point line, he received the ball.

The moment Butler gave up on himself and rushed towards Billups, Wu Dawei gave up on the idea of ​​rushing into the inside. Instead, he shot back and returned to the outside of the three-point line.

When Billups passed the ball, there was only Blake Griffin in front of Wu Dawei who was more than one step away from him. Although during the halftime break, head coach Nigro once emphasized that Wu Dawei's defense should be strengthened, Blake Griffin is an inside player after all, and Wu Dawei had almost never taken action outside the three-point line before. Almost all his attacks were initiated at mid-range and inside.

In addition, since Griffin's scout report did not match Wu Dawei, the characteristics of Wu Dawei were mentioned in a relatively general way, so Griffin did not choose to rush up to defend Wu Dawei who was standing outside the three-point line to hold the ball.

Wu Dawei jumped up like this. Under Blake Griffin's gaze, he jumped into the air without hesitation. The ball was raised high by him. At this time, no one could stop Wu Dawei from throwing the ball into the basket.

Even though Blake Griffin is a player who is very good at flying arms, he can only sigh at this ball.

The ball was pushed to the basket by Wu Dawei in the air. This was the first offense and shooting in the second half, which naturally attracted everyone's attention. Los Angeles fans would of course pray in their hearts that they would not shoot this ball, but Wu Dawei had an extraordinary feeling about it.

Enter!

With a swish, the ball drilled into the basket!

57:50, the Cleveland Cavaliers got a good start in the second half and also widened the previous four-point gap to as much as 7 points. Although the Clippers head coach Nigro arranged a strategy to defend Wu Dawei during the halftime break. However, just as the second half game began, Wu Dawei gave all Los Angeles people a big show of strength!

"The Clippers let Wu Dawei make another three-pointer! He has scored 21 points, and the second half has just begun! I really don't know what Nigro is thinking. Blake Griffin just took two steps to defend!"

On the side of the court, the commentator, who was also disappointed with the Los Angeles fans, also cried out.

What happened was the tragic cry of the Clippers' lax defense line.

However, although the Los Angeles was caught off guard by the Cavaliers as soon as they came up, Chris Paul's aggressiveness was the reason for this defensive failure. Back on the offensive end, Chris Paul restrained a lot.

After he dribbled the ball through halftime, he originally tried to find two inside partners to cooperate, but the Cavaliers' defenses were relatively close to Griffin and DeAndrew Jordan in the inside, and Paul couldn't find any opportunity for a while.

So facing Anthony Parker's defense, Paul decided to take the lead!

A breakthrough helped Chris Paul hit a hook shot in the inside. Although the Clippers lost 3 points because of his aggressive advance, the current strong attack can be regarded as making up for the results.

57:52, while the Clippers scored, they also narrowed the score a little. However, this is definitely not their goal. They made up their minds to win before the start of this game, so they naturally had to continue to work hard to fill in the gap or even overtake.

In the next defense, the Clippers finally defended the Cavaliers' offense. After Billups dribbled the ball through halftime, he took a pick-and-roll with Kaman in the inside and broke into the inside, but was hit in the paint area. He hurriedly passed the ball back to Kaman. At the high position, Kaman shot without anyone watching the defense. However, the ball finally bounced out of the basket!

Tonight, Carman scored 5 points with only 2 of 8 shots, but his performance was still not satisfactory. And this slightly sluggish performance has been going on for almost the whole new season.

This is also the reason why he is increasingly disappointing the Clevelanders. He has not yet adjusted, and the Cavaliers don't have much time to adjust him. Therefore, the Cavaliers are now so active in seeking a deal with the Orlando Magic.

The arrival of Dwight Howard will definitely increase the strength of the entire Cleveland Cavaliers' team by a higher level!

After Carman missed his shot, the rebound was taken by DeAndrew Jordan, and Chris Paul launched a fast attack towards the frontcourt after getting the ball. Although the Cavaliers retreated very quickly, they were still unable to curb the Clippers' score.

Chris Paul broke into the inside and scored again, and the score became 57:54, and the score difference instantly turned into 3 points. The Staples Center Staples finally rang out cheers again, just for the Clippers to sound the horn of counterattack.

However, the Cavaliers could not be easily caught up by the Clippers. They just had a good start in the second half. Wu Dawei's three-pointer helped the Cavaliers unexpectedly expand their advantage, but now they are caught up by Los Angeles. Naturally, the Cavaliers will not let go easily.

After regaining control of the ball, Billups dribbled the ball through the half. At this time, the Los Angeles people's emotions were still driven by Chris Paul's two consecutive breakthroughs, and cheers still resounded throughout the Staples Center Arena.

However, just as the Los Angeles were still happily, Billups stopped for a while after halftime and suddenly launched an attack on the inside! Chris Paul hurriedly followed Billups' figure, and the two lived near the free throw line, but Billups did not feel anxious about being blocked near the free throw line. This made Chris Paul somewhat confused, suddenly, he felt a strong wind blowing by his side!

A figure jumped out from Paul and ran towards the outside line. Paul saw Billups in front of him. While passing the ball behind his head, Billups also moved to the side, just blocking the defensive player behind the figure.

Wu Dawei stood outside the three-point line with the ball! Just in front of Chris Paul, he rushed forward, but the huge height gap between the two made Chris Paul do all this in vain.

At this time, Wu Dawei threw the ball out, which was already noisy and hustle immediately quieted the stadium, and the next second, the crisp and pleasant sound of the net made the audience quiet!
