The Cleveland Cavaliers once again passed the half, and Chauncey Billups did not choose a high pick-and-roll because he didn't feel very good in the game tonight. So after halftime, he went straight to the three-point line and chose to pass the ball to Dwight Howard, who was stuck in the inside line.

Howard stuck Diego Split behind him, and then Howard looked around and was preparing to play the latter on his back, the Spurs' defense suddenly surged, obviously preparing to shrink the defense.

However, this time, the Spurs were a little hesitant. Because Danny Green had already made two shots outside the three-point line in this quarter, he was standing outside the three-point line at this time. Even though head coach Popovich did not make any statement, the Spurs were naturally very cautious about his defense.

So this time, the defensive pressure Dwight Howard encountered in singles in the inside was much easier than before. With Danny Green's restraint on the outside and Wu Dawei's outstanding state in this game, if the Spurs still shamelessly shrink the inside, then they must consider the consequences.

This is the question that Spurs head coach Popovich needs to think about at this time. The score became 38:43. Dwight Howard's goal helped the Cleveland Cavaliers lead the opponent by 5 points.

This is the score that the Cleveland Cavaliers have led the most since the start of the first quarter.

At this time, Popovich asked for a timeout without hesitation. He was a person who asked for perfection. After thinking that Danny Green was a trouble, he decided to start dealing with him.

However, his headache came soon. With the Spurs' inside strength, it would be more difficult to completely block Dwight Howard without relying on assisting defense and attacking, not to mention that the Cavaliers still have Wu Dawei to pay attention to.

This is where the Cleveland Cavaliers are strong, and if they really solve their weakness outside the three-point line, then they are really a team that is difficult to defend on the offensive end.

A team that combines internal and external strength and has outstanding strength is not so easy to deal with.

The Cavaliers' poor condition on the outside before allowed many teams to constrict their defenses mindlessly, which had a miraculous effect. However, if Danny Green has been performing well outside the three-point line tonight. In addition, Wu Dawei's current shooting percentage outside the three-point line is also 1 of 2 shots, then such a strategy will be useless.

So for Popovich, he needs to measure whether he will continue to maintain his strategy of shrinking defense, or give up shrinking defense to achieve both internal and external considerations.

"Good job, guys!"

As for the Cavaliers, when the players left the court, they received a lot of praise from head coach Byron Scott. In the previous games, the Cavaliers played well, which was also the rhythm of the game Scott wanted to see.

Especially Danny Green, this young man's performance in previous games did not disappoint Byron Scott. Green currently scored 6 points for the Cleveland Cavaliers by two goals from outside the three-point line. Although these 6 points are not big, they have great significance. This makes the San Antonio Spurs dare not underestimate the Cavaliers' outside shooting anymore, and naturally they will be defeated without any attack.

Scott was very satisfied with Green's performance and was very happy about his decision to keep the young man on the court. At this time, the second quarter had already been played for 8 minutes, and there were only more than 3 minutes left, so Scott decided to let Green continue to stay on the court.

He does not expect to rely on Danny Green's shooting outside the three-point line to score many points in tonight's game, as long as he can restrain the Spurs' defense from outside the three-point line and prevent them from shrinking their defense from desperately shrinking.

This is what Scott hopes that Danny Green can play. After all, he has two superstars Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard in the team. Byron Scott does not have to rely on how a character player can explode.

Of course, if Green can maintain such a high-level shooting rate and score more, it will be something Scott is quite happy to see. Because in this way, the burden on the two stars will naturally be reduced.

The game started again soon, and the Spurs seized the ball. They attacked again. No matter what defensive measures they used, the top priority at the moment was to plan how to get the offensive goal!

Only by bringing the score closer together can they have the hope of regaining the lead. The breakthrough between Manuginobili and Tony Parker is still the offensive method that makes the Cleveland Cavaliers most nervous in defensive counterattacks.

Both of these defenders are so agile that the Cavaliers often feel that they are willing but not capable when defending them.

Although Danny Green had scored two key three-pointers for the Cavaliers before, he was also sieve by Ginobili on the defensive end. Ginobili scored two more points on his head, and the score became 40:43, and the Cavaliers only led by 3 points.

However, after regaining the ball, the Cleveland Cavaliers still have the possibility of opening the score again. Especially when Danny Green scored three-pointers for them from outside the three-point line, the Cavaliers' offensive pressure suddenly became much less than before.

After Chauncey Billups took the ball through half, he still chose to hand over the ball. Wu Dawei got the ball outside the three-point line, and he once again chose Coyleonard who dribbled the ball and was in front of him. In this game tonight, Wu Dawei had enough self-confidence when facing Coyleonard.

Although Leonard was at a disadvantage from the beginning when facing Wu Dawei's breakthrough, Manuginobili, who was closest to him, did not come to help him make up for defense at all. Because Manuginobili was responsible for defense with Danny Green, a Cavaliers player who was named by head coach Popovich during the previous timeout.

The Spurs changed their tactics before the start of the game midway, which made Wu Dawei immediately feel open after choosing to break through this offense.

Until he finished shooting on the sideline of the paint area, Wu Dawei felt extremely relaxed.

40:45, relying on Wu Dawei's personal ability, after breaking through, he once again helped the Cleveland Cavaliers widen the gap to as much as 5 points.

The Cavaliers slightly stabilized the situation, but this situation obviously cannot satisfy their appetite. If you want to defeat a strong opponent, you naturally have to open up the gap between the two sides as much as possible when you have an advantage.

So when the Cavaliers seem to solve their most troublesome problem on the offensive end and start to be smooth sailing, they will think of how to curb their opponent's goals on the defensive end and lay the foundation for their team to widen the gap.

After Tony Parker dribbled the ball through halftime, Coy Leonard, who was in charge of Wu Dawei's defense, immediately ran to the weak bottom line and ambushed. Although this young forward was the focus of the Spurs' training, when the team was still determined to compete for the championship and the three-legged car was on the court, Leonard rarely got the ball.

However, Wu Dawei would not just let other Spurs players storm his basket. When he saw Tim Duncan running to the high position to play pick-and-roll for Parker, he became cautious.

Because this is the offensive routine that the San Antonio Spurs have used for many years, Duncan's pick-and-roll quality has always been excellent, so Parker has a variety of options after the pick-and-roll, but he will more often let the ball go to the paint area.

Whether it is breaking through himself or leaving Tim Duncan to take the ball off after pick-and-roll, the chances of the ball being launched are much smaller than those in the paint area.

At this time, Duncan and Parker successfully completed the pick-and-roll at the high position, and then Duncan passed the ball to the latter when he was surrounded. After Duncan got the ball, he continued to promote the inside. At this time, Andre Valaijo fell a little behind because he tried to stop Parker from breaking through.

Dwight Howard, who was supposed to be stationed at the basket, was pulled out of the paint area by Diego Split. Duncan ran wildly with the ball, rushed into the paint area and rushed in.

He jumped up in the paint area and even his originally dull expression became a little ferocious. Duncan raised the ball in his hand high and roared with a tiger. Just as he was about to make a dunk that shocked the world and the earth, he suddenly felt a black shadow appear in front of him!

The black shadow galloping from the side surprised Tim Duncan, who was flying in the air. He had passed his youth. Although I was talking about a young man, Tim Duncan had no choice in the face of such a fast-speed figure!

He is no longer young, so naturally he can't avoid the blocking like before. At this time, the only thing he can do is to dunk the ball faster! In order to avoid this blocking.

But how could Wu Dawei give Old Duncan such an opportunity? He had full confidence in the moment he jumped up and blocked the ball. At this time, seeing that Duncan not only did not avoid it, but instead wanted to dunk the ball. Wu Dawei did not give him any chance, and swung his big palm!

Bang! A loud bang, the Cleveland Cavaliers' half-court rang out throughout the world. When the Cleveland fans who came to the Speed ​​Loan Center tonight saw the San Antonio's signature star Tim Duncan fall on the floor weakly, their uncontrollable hearts burst into strong emotional fluctuations. Then, the entire Speed ​​Loan Center became a sea of ​​cheering! (To be continued.
