159. Dominance

As we all know, Dwight Howard's defense in the inside has been as hard as a discus since entering this league. He has won the title of Best Defensive Player twice in a row in his eight-year career. If it weren't for Wu Dawei's emergence last season, then Dwight Howard would have become the first person in the league to win the Best Defensive Player Award for three consecutive years!

In addition, Dwight Howard also won the honors of 3 rebounds and 2 blocks, as well as 4 selections to the league's best defensive first-team lineup!

The name Dwight Howard can be said to be synonymous with defense only since entering the league, and his dominance in the inside is now unstoppable.

And Wu Dawei, people are also very clear that his rise last season was relied on his terrifying defensive ability. Just last season, he won the titles of steals and blocking kings in the league. At the end of the season, he defeated Dwight Howard, who had won the best defensive player for two consecutive times, and became the new best defensive player!

These two men became members of a team, and they became teammates, and the deterrent power they brought on the defensive end may be comparable to those teams in the history of the league.

Think about it, when you worked hard and finally relied on your outstanding personal ability to get rid of the Cavaliers' outside defense gate Wu Dawei. After rushing into the inside, you thought you were relieved, but you found that Dwight Howard was eyeing you in the paint area. That feeling was crazy!

And now, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who have such a shocking defense, are waiting for their first test. But if it is a test, perhaps Chicago talent is more suitable for this term.

Derek Ross dribbled the ball through halftime under the gaze of Cleveland fans. He controlled the ball and tried to avoid thinking about the fact that the Cavaliers had Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard in the team.

But the cheering expressions of Cleveland fans and Wu Dawei standing on the outside and staring at him, it is difficult for Derek Ross to forget this. The only thing that has some benefits for Derek Ross is that neither Wu Dawei nor Dwight Howard are, they are not players who face Derek Ross.

The Cavaliers are responsible for defending Derek Ross, their shooting guard Anthony Parker Parker is not outstanding in the Cavaliers. The reason why he can sit in the team's starting second position so firmly is that he can serve as cannon fodder and his outstanding defensive ability.

Looking at the league, perhaps due to the large number of double-sports defenders, the number two players of many strong teams are players whose defense is greater than attack. The withering of the shooting guards, although there are still people like Kobe and Wade who support them, it is still a fact that they are not honored to change!

"Oh~ Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard have both returned to halftime. The situation the Chicago Bulls face next may be worse than the Cavaliers' offense before!" Charles Barkley was still sitting in front of the commentator's seat and said gloatingly: "Because they are facing the defense of the Cleveland Cavaliers now!"

Ross is the core figure of the Bulls. He held the ball at a high position. Soon, Jokin Noah ran up and made a pick-and-roll for him. The first attack at the beginning, Ross basically couldn't pass the ball, so when he started the attack, the Cavaliers' defense line deliberately contracted in, but Ross still broke through many obstacles and rushed in!

His speed is unparalleled in the entire league, and there are naturally very few people who can defend his breakthrough. One is the same fast defender, such as Russell Westbrook, and the other is obviously someone like Wu Dawei who can understand his ideas.

But unfortunately, Wu Dawei's character tonight is the third person in charge of defending the Bulls, Ruhr Deng, a small forward player with great strength.

This allowed Ross to easily break through Parker's defense line, but without Wu Dawei, the Cavaliers now have Dwight Howard! When Ross easily broke into the paint area under the gaze of Cleveland fans, Cleveland fans not only did not have a disappointed expression, but instead looked forward!

Because they owned Dwight Howard tonight, a big monster in the paint area!

"roll!"

Ross rushed into the paint area and jumped up, but Dwight Howard jumped higher than him at this time. He jumped up with all his strength, and his arms raised high blocked Ross's route without a goal!

Howard's expression was ferocious because he wanted to make all Cleveland fans fall in love with him in his Cleveland Cavaliers debut!

Bang!

The ball was blocked, and the thunderous explosion made everyone stunned, followed by violent cheers coming like waves!

"Run!"

Anthony Parker grabbed the ball blocked by Howard. He turned around and roared and threw the ball towards the frontcourt! Dwight Howard's block was so powerful that it aroused everyone's blood.

Parker flew wildly towards the front court, and then Wu Dawei caught it! Wu Dawei was standing on the three-point line to defend Ruhr Deng. When he saw Dwight Howard jumping up with a grim look, he started running towards the front court with a sympathy!

At this time, Wu Dawei took the lead in the frontcourt, and no one could stop him!

Take off, soar, spread your wings, and buckle!

A series of actions were completed in one go in the paint area of ​​the Chicago Bulls, and the flowing movements made the fans in the audience feel even more hysterical and crazy!

Bang!

There was another fierce noise, and the stadium was already dancing with demons. Every Cleveland fan could not curb his inner ecstasy at this time. Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard had already produced such terrifying energy in just one minute!

This is so wonderful!

“oh-my-goodness!”

Charles Barkley stood up suddenly, raising his arms and shouting, as if he was a fan of the Cleveland Cavaliers, saying: "Is there any better performance than this? No more! The era of the Cleveland Cavaliers is coming!"

"Although this performance is indeed exciting. But Charles, you are saying too much!" Kenny Smith always says inappropriate words when it is inappropriate.

Barkley laughed at his partner and said, "Let's wait and see, the Bulls tonight are ready-made examples!"

As soon as the game began, the Cavaliers beat the opponent Bulls a 4:0. A nearly perfect start. Wu Dawei ran back to the half and slapped his teammates to celebrate.

Howard doesn't know how long it's been since he felt such a strong atmosphere. In Orlando this season, the Magic's continuous loss and disappointing performance have long wiped out their enthusiasm when they entered the finals. And now, in the first minute of the first game of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Dwight Howard seemed to feel the passion burning again!

His blood also started to burn!

The Bulls attacked again, Ross dribbled the ball through the half, Carlos Boozer and Ross went down after a high pick-and-roll, got Ross' pass, and then Boozer made a jump shot from the middle distance position.

However, such a score is like a grain of sand thrown into the sea. It cannot cause any waves at all, and it is not enough to extinguish the current enthusiasm of the Clevelanders.

The Cavaliers regained the ball, Chauncey Billups dribbled the ball through the half, and Dwight Howard took the initiative to mention the high position to make a pick-and-roll for him. Although Billups has never partnered with a center of Dwight Howard in his career, the best center Ben Wallace is almost negligible on the offensive end.

However, this did not prevent Billups from becoming a defender who was good at feeding the ball to the inside. After the pick-and-roll, Billups took the lead and attracted enough defensive attention. At this time, Dwight Howard also showed his sense of smell on the offensive end.

His movement speed was amazing in the fifth position. Billups hit the earth in a gap between Derek Ross and Jockin Noah, and the ball came to Dwight Howard's hand. After getting the ball, Howard took a big step towards the inside line, and then flew to dunk!

Bang!

The score was rewritten again!

2:6, the Cleveland Cavaliers made 3 of 3 shots at the start, and each score was so shocking. Three shots were all powerful dunks. The Cleveland fans who came to the Quick Loan Center tonight were already excited by these goals...

Is there a more wonderful opening than this!?

Absolutely nothing!

The big rock hanging in his heart of Coach Byron Scott, who was standing on the sidelines, disappeared all of a sudden. At least so far, the Cleveland Cavaliers played the game he wanted on both offense and defense, which is not easy for Howard and the Cavaliers, because the combination of the two is only two or three days. It is already a bit overwhelming to be able to achieve such an effect in such a short time!

The Bulls are head coach Tom Hippudo, and the team fell into a passive state from the beginning. As expected, it was almost the same as what he had imagined before the game. After getting Dwight Howard from the Orlando Magic, the Cleveland Cavaliers became a little impeccable with no major changes in the inside strength and the lineup!

It seems that in addition to some advantages in organizing the defender, the Bulls are basically difficult to get benefits in other positions...

The Bulls launched a new attack. The Cavaliers' unstoppable offensive posture did make the Bulls players feel a little nervous tonight, but they are also Chicago people, who are also powerful teams in the league, of course they won't just surrender.

Ross launched an attack again. This time, he did not rely on pick-and-roll but chose to use his personal ability to break through Anthony Parker's defense line. Ross once again easily got in. He traveled smoothly all the way, which had attracted the attention of countless people, because at this time, everyone knew that he was preparing to come by himself!

Of course, Wu Dawei knew it too, so he gave up Ruer Deng at the first time and rushed towards Ross! Ross rushed into the inside, and then after jumping up, he faced Dwight Howard's block again, but compared to the last time, Ross was already prepared this time.

He curled up in the air, then avoided Howard's block, and then relaxed again. While this series of movements was astonishing, even Cleveland fans couldn't help but sigh. After avoiding Howard's defense, Ross threw the ball into the basket when he was about to fall. However, at this moment, when everyone was amazed at Derek Ross' previous dodge, the ball that Ross had just thrown was blocked by someone!

Wu Dawei jumped up behind Dwight Howard and became the last barrier of the Cleveland Cavaliers!

"God! This is the dominance created by Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard joining forces to the inside! The inside of the Cleveland Cavaliers is as strong as a castle!"

Barkley screamed again as if he was injected with chicken blood. At this time, his mood was exactly the same as the Cleveland Cavaliers fans in the audience. The main player in the opponent's team encountered his own team's blocking one after another on the offensive end. Is there anything more satisfying than this?

In just a moment, Cleveland fans thought of LeBron James, although the game with the Chicago Bulls had just begun. At this time, many Cleveland fans had already thought of the future game with the Miami Heat...

At that time, we must also let LeBron James taste this desperate feeling!

The ball was slapped out of the field by Wu Dawei, and the ball rights were still owned by the Chicago Bulls, but the offensive time limit was almost gone at this time!

Dwight Howard turned his head and looked at Wu Dawei behind him. The two of them laughed almost at the same time. They slapped each other and celebrated. When their powerful big grasps were together, it was as reassuring as the Cleveland Cavaliers' impeccable defense line.

Although this force has just joined forces, it has become the biggest pride of Clevelanders at present!
