247. Wonderful opening
The Cleveland Cavaliers still maintained their original starting lineup in the second round. Originally, due to Kyrie Irving and Danny Green's performance in the second half of the regular season, Byron Scott had the idea to make some changes to the starting lineup, but with the poor performance of the two young men in the first round of the series, such an idea had disappeared at this time.
The Cavaliers still maintained their lineup for a season. As the visiting team, the Philadelphia 76ers, the young genius Zhu Haller acted as the point guard, Evan Turner is the shooting guard, Andre Igu Odara is the small forward, and the two inside players are Elton Brand and Spencer Hawys.
The game started on time at 8 pm local time in Cleveland, without any delay, and the second round of the game began first.
The moment Spencer Hawyth and Dwight Howard stood on the court, the three referees who enforced the game also walked onto the court one after another.
"Look at the two players who are preparing to jump the ball, you can't believe that these will be two even opponents!" Charles Barkley still always remembers to mock the opponent of the Cleveland Cavaliers. He has obviously become a brainless fan of the Cleveland Cavaliers this season.
However, from the beginning of the game, it was basically as Charles Barkley said, and this game did not look like a close match.
The referee threw the ball into the sky, and how could the center Spencer Hawyth compete for the talented Dwight Howard, the ball was transferred to the Cleveland Cavaliers' half.
The Cavaliers won their first ball in the semi-finals of this year's playoffs. Although Chauncey Billups faced a young defender with the potential to enter the All-Star Game, he was still quite mature. After dribbling the ball steadily through the half, Billups' mind was quite clear.
He immediately tried to do a pick-and-roll with Wu Dawei at the high position, but Igu Odara's close-fitting defense made the pick-and-roll not work well. When Wu Dawei got the ball, he did not throw away Igu Odara next to him.
However, this will not affect Wu Dawei's yu-looking view of this attack. When he got the ball at the 45-degree angle on the left, the pick-and-roll also came again. Andre Valaijo hurried to the high position and made a pick-and-roll for Wu Dawei again, and Wu Dawei dribbled the ball and went down.
Igu Odara tried to bypass Valejo's pick-and-roll and chase Wu Dawei. Wu Dawei did not give him any chance, and with the help of the pick-and-roll, he rushed into the paint area in a flash!
Although Brand tried to stop Wu Dawei's breakthrough, the old captain was troubled by knee injuries, so how could he keep up with the young and strong Wu Dawei?
Not only did he not defend Wu Dawei's breakthrough, he also blocked the way for Igu Odala to advance. Wu Dawei rushed directly to the inside. At this time, Spencer Hawys, the only barrier in the inside of the 76ers, was in a dilemma against Wu Dawei's breakthrough and Dwight Howard's involvement.
He finally chose to rush forward to make up for Wu Dawei's breakthrough, because before the game, the head coach of the 76ers, Doug Collins, had repeatedly told Wu Dawei's role in the game.
So although Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard are both the core of the Cleveland Cavaliers, after weighing the left and right, Hawyce felt that Wu Dawei was obviously more threatening, so Hawyce rushed towards Wu Dawei in a fierce manner! But he obviously forgot that when he was one against two on the defensive end, it was useless for him to make a choice.
Because the moment when Hawyce pounced on Wu Dawei, the ball was thrown into the air by Wu Dawei. The ball passed the general and passed the ten fingers of Hawyce. Then Hawyce heard the cheers of Cleveland fans coming from behind, and the sound of heavy dunks coming from behind!
With a bang, it seemed to shake everything!
Cheers were everywhere, crossing everything. It seemed as if the air was filled with the crazy enthusiasm of Clevelanders.
A lottery air relay! The two core players of the Cleveland Cavaliers Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard, a combination of air relays in the inside, ignited the first enthusiasm of the Quick Loan Center tonight!
0:2. The Cleveland Cavaliers, who played at home, easily got off to a good start. Just as before the start of this game, people predicted that the Cleveland Cavaliers' offense was so easy, and the combination of Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard seemed unstoppable!
"pretty!"
Charles Barkley also sat on the sidelines like a Cleveland fan, applauded Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard's cooperation.
"Spencer Hawys may not know who he should defend in this defense! He was completely stunned!"
In fact, it was not just Hawyce who was stupid, the entire Philadelphia 76ers were stunned at the beginning. Perhaps they had not fully adapted to higher-intensity games, and lacked Derek Rose's Chicago Bulls' intensity given to them, which was completely incomparable to the Cleveland Cavaliers at this time.
The Cavaliers quickly got a good start, and in the subsequent defense, Zhu Hollard tried to shake off Billups' defense and jumped away from the mid-range shot, and was also slapped out by Wu Dawei who came from the side!
When the ball was about to be taken to the sidelines, it was rescued by Anthony Parker. After Billups got the ball, he launched an attack on the frontcourt. After the shot was blocked, Wu Dawei followed Billups closely, so when Billups rushed into the paint area and faced the defense of Igu Odala, he resolutely chose to make a layup with three steps.
However, he avoided the goal route blocked by Igu Odala in the air and chose a curb to save the country. He threw the ball towards the rebound. This was a route with no chance of scoring, but just after the ball thrown by Billups rebounded on the rebound, Wu Dawei, who came from behind, also jumped up!
Then, after Wu Dawei caught the ball in the air, he suddenly poured the ball into the basket with both hands!
Bang!
Another huge metal explosion, the Cleveland Cavaliers rewrite the score again!
0:4, the Cavaliers continued to perform well on both offense and defense!
"Oh~ The Cavaliers have a very good start tonight. It seems that their form is not affected by so many days of rest. They are like playing the first round of the game!"
Even Kenny Smith next to Charles Barkley couldn't help but exclaim at this time for the two consecutive impacts of Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard on the basket.
The Cleveland Cavaliers played an extremely passionate game just at the beginning of the game, and the atmosphere at the Quick Loan Center was extremely excited by these two dunks.
Every Cleveland fan was excited before the team was in a state of sè tonight, and the entire arena was a sign of a sensation. It seemed that the Cleveland Cavaliers would have a wonderful night.
"Do you still need to say this? This is the Cleveland Cavaliers! Oh~ I want to say, if their condition is always so good, then I don't think there will be any suspense for this year's championship!"
The Cavaliers made a wonderful start, and the Philadelphia 76ers were at a loss when the game started.
The young Zhu Haller is a talented point guard, but he is too young at the same time. And Evan Turner, who is partnering with him, is also young. Such a young backcourt combination is indeed full of energy, but it also has fatal shortcomings.
After playing for one minute, the Cavaliers had already scored 4 points, but this minute did not allow the 76ers to adapt. When they regained the ball, Ju Haller made another mistake. After coming to the offensive end, he tried to cooperate with his backcourt partner Evan Turner, but the ball was destroyed by Anthony Parker.
Wu Dawei had already occupied a favorable position before this. When Anthony Parker destroyed the ball between Evan Turner and Zhu Holiday, Wu Dawei crawled over like a long-dormant cheetah!
The moment when the ball was taken by Wu Dawei, the cheers in the Quick Loan Center were even more excited. Because when Cleveland fans watched Wu Dawei rushing towards the frontcourt with the ball, people knew that no one could stop Wu Dawei from scoring for the Cleveland Cavaliers again!
Another violent dunk after rushing into the paint, the Cleveland Cavaliers continued to expand their lead.
0:6, the Philadelphia 76ers still haven't scored a point, and the Cleveland Cavaliers have completely opened up the game at this time!
And importantly, these 6 points are all obtained by the team's core players in the inside and outside. If Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard can be in a very good state in the game, it means that the Cleveland Cavaliers are basically sure to win in this game.
You know, whether it is Wu Dawei or Dwight Howard, as long as one of them performs, it will be unstoppable. What's more, if both of them perform, it will be extremely difficult for the Cleveland Cavaliers to lose this game tonight!
The Cleveland Cavaliers, who scored 6 points in a row, not only played on the offensive end, but also played triumphant songs on the defensive end. This situation is undoubtedly quite unfriendly for the Philadelphia 76ers, so they were forced to. After playing less than two minutes in the first quarter, Doug Collins had to request a timeout! (To be continued...)
Chapter completed!
