161. Leader
The Cavaliers achieved a great lead in the first quarter and even played an amazing offensive and defensive performance at the beginning of the game, which laid the foundation for their advantage in the game tonight.
19:28 is the score between the two sides at the end of the first quarter. The Chicago Bulls, who played away, did not gain any advantage in the first quarter of this game.
The combination of Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard showed strong abilities in their debut. Both of them performed on both offense and defense, which was also a key factor in the Cleveland Cavaliers playing both offensive and defensive in the first quarter.
“That’s amazing!”
Charles Barkley sat in front of the commentator and exclaimed: "The Cavaliers played an unparalleled first quarter game! They made their opponent tonight's Chicago Bulls see no hope of winning, at least in the first quarter they completely dominated the game!"
"Yes, the first quarter was indeed a full quarter of the Cleveland Cavaliers."
It is rare that Charles Barkley's partner, Kenny Smith, who has always liked to sing against him, even recognized his words. It can be seen from this that the performance of the Cleveland Cavaliers shocked people in the first quarter.
"The Chicago Bulls are currently ranked third in the Eastern Conference. However, in the first quarter, they didn't seem to have any ability to counterattack. They were basically walking around by the Clevelanders. This rhythm does not look like a strong conversation at all, but it seems like a one-sided massacre rhythm!"
Just as Kenny Smith said, the Chicago Bulls are still the top-ranking team in the league, and in the last encounter between the two sides, the Chicago Bulls won so easily; tonight, they completely changed their appearance!
The Chicagoers can't easily lead the Clevelanders like they did in the last fight, and even scored a little difficult!
Although it would be a big deal to score 19 points in a quarter, judging by the current Chicago Bulls' data of 93 points per game this season, it would be a huge difference compared to the Cleveland Cavaliers who played at home in the first quarter!
The Cavaliers' performance of nearly 30 points in the first quarter shows that the pace of the game is very fast. At such a fast pace, the Chicago Bulls only scored 19 points, which is naturally an extremely poor performance!
Moreover, they were nine points behind the Cavaliers when they entered the second quarter. When both sides began to replace the second team on the court one after another, the Chicagoans were about to face a new round of challenges.
Kyrie Irving, the No. 1 pick among the Cavaliers, is becoming more and more accustomed to the intensity and rhythm of the league, and his performance and data are also increasing in a straight line. He won the MVP title in the previous All-Star Rookie Championship, and has completely surpassed Kemba Walker, who suppressed himself at the beginning of the season, and has become the number one rookie at the moment!
Although there are also strong players like Ty Gibson in the Chicago Bulls, he is a tough inside player with more energy and good skills. Obviously, the help he gives to the team in such a headwind situation is limited.
Such a situation forced the Bulls coach to not let the main players rest on the court for too long. Derek Ross, as the team's star, was replaced on the court after only resting for less than two minutes in the second quarter.
In this way, Derek Ross will face Kyrie Irving, who has not yet finished the game. Although Ross quickly gained the upper hand, Cavaliers head coach Byron Scott still had no idea to replace him with the court at this time.
The score at this time was 25:36, and the Cavaliers led the Chicago Bulls who played away with 11 points. This advantage allowed Scott to arrange for his starters to rest for a longer time.
Dwight Howard sat next to Wu Dawei on the bench. The two of them were talking and laughing, and as the focus of the game, they were naturally more noticed by many people.
"What are they saying so happy?" Kenny Smith turned his gaze below the stadium in confusion. Although the game was still going on at this time, who told Wu Dawei and Howard to be the key figures tonight?
"Who knows, maybe I plan to celebrate after winning the ball tonight! This is their first official game as a partner!" Charles Barkley curled his lips and then focused his attention on the court. Kyrie Irving is also a player he is more optimistic about, but obviously, Irving is now a bit embarrassed by Ross on the court.
In fact, Howard was talking about the cheerleaders of the Cavaliers with Wu Dawei. Although he had been in Cleveland for more than a year, Wu Dawei had hardly paid much attention to these beauties who were close to him. When he first came, he devoted all his attention to basketball training. At that time, he was thinking about when he could play every day. Later, after playing famous, he became obsessed with Emma Roberts. Naturally, he was even less interested in paying attention to these beauties he could meet almost every day.
Although Howard seems to be very interested in beauties, Wu Dawei doesn't want to share his "sexual things" with him, so he basically listens to Howard telling his "interesting things"... especially how he saves the souls of the fallen women...
However, the conversation between the two people soon ended because Wu Dawei was replaced on the court. After the Chicago Bulls replaced Derek Ross and Carlos Boozer on the court, the Cavaliers' momentum declined a little.
Kyrie Irving can’t keep the field. At this time, the Cavaliers need someone who can keep the scene on the court. This person is naturally Wu Dawei within the Cavaliers!
As the Cavaliers' star, is there anything that can make the players more at ease than the star standing on the court?
Although Kyrie Irving was still a little dissatisfied with Wu Dawei when he first entered the Cavaliers team. However, after working together for half a season, Wu Dawei saved the team from danger again and again, which was something that Irving saw, so naturally his dissatisfaction with Wu Dawei became increasingly weak.
Even after staying in the Cavaliers for a long time, he began to slowly get used to Wu Dawei saving the team again and again, just like his other teammates.
As soon as Derek Ross and Boozer returned to the court, they teamed up to score 6 points in a row for the Bulls. The gap between the score was suddenly widened to 31:36, and the difference was instantly narrowed to 5 points!
"The Cavaliers played too badly during this period. Ross and Boozer's early return did have a miraculous effect. At this time, Coach Scott could no longer sit still, and the score difference was narrowed to 5 points. If he let it go, the Cavaliers were destined to be reversed!"
Charles Barkley shook his head, obviously he was not very satisfied with the Cavaliers' performance during this period. However, he also knew that this was understandable. After all, the Bulls replaced two All-Star players on the court so early, so they definitely wanted to catch up with the score.
But Barkley's brows did not frown for too long, because then he saw Scott make a quick adjustment, and Wu Dawei was replaced by him and replaced Jason Capono.
Capono basically did not get any reuse in the first half of the season, but after he caught up with veteran Rasu Butler in the Cavaliers' trade with Magic, Capono had his chance.
But his performance was not very good tonight, at least Ty Gibson was moving unanimously on his head.
The three-point shooter got off the court in frustration, and cheers rang out from the Quick Loan Center. Of course, it was not Cleveland fans who were mocking him, but Wu Dawei returned to the court and the Cavaliers had their backbone again!
The cheers in the stadium were boiling. When Wu Dawei made his debut again, Cleveland fans felt at ease.
Dwight Howard, who was still sitting on the bench, also saw the situation on the scene. When Wu Dawei came on the court, the tsunami of mountains and rivers surrounded him, which was the impression he left in the hearts of the Cleveland Cavaliers fans, the leader!
The unscrupulous leader of this team, no matter how difficult the Cavaliers' situation is, as long as Wu Dawei appears on the court, he can withstand it as if the sky falls!
At this moment, when Wu Dawei returned to the court and watched Cleveland fans shouting his name frantically, Dwight Howard knew whose name this team would be signed!
"Wu Dawei! He returned to the court!"
Amid the cheers of the fans, Wu Dawei returned to the court and replaced Jason Capono, who played as a small forward. However, after the mall, Wu Dawei ran to exchange a position with Antoine Jamison and turned to the All-Star Power Forward Carlos Boozer, who was responsible for defending the Bulls!
Depend on!
Boozer looked at Wu Dawei, who was almost as tall as he was, and cursed in his heart. Wu Dawei's ability on the defensive end has long been well-known or not, and has been recognized by countless people. Of course, Boozer also knew what a terrifying defensive player the young player standing beside him!
The game started over again. The Bulls not only chased 6 points in a row, but also had the ball rights now. They want to continue to close the gap! (To be continued...)
Chapter completed!
