273. Flanking is not enough
Pat Riley, the head coach and team president of the Miami Heat, stood on the sidelines of the court. Wu Dawei's series of performances in the second half of the game were all imprinted into his eyes.
The increasingly outstanding performance made Pat Riley's brows frown like mountains. If Pat Riley did not regret sending Wu Dawei away at this time, it would definitely be impossible.
In fact, Pat Riley had already regretted it last season. At this time, Wu Dawei surpassed everything, but it made Pat Riley regret it a lot more.
Especially when he saw LeBron James, a league ace player he had worked hard to get from the Cleveland Cavaliers, was so vulnerable in front of Wu Dawei, Pat Riley's inexplicable depression became more and more profound.
Wu Dawei has never had any warning since his outbreak last season. At least when he was in the Miami Heat, no one would think that he was a player who could become a superstar. At this moment, the Miami people can only use this as an excuse to comfort themselves, why did they pass by such an incredible genius?
After playing for 5 minutes in the second half, Wu Dawei scored 10 points alone. In the third quarter, Wu Dawei had almost scored 40 points!
LeBron James, who faced him, has only scored 15 points so far. He tried to carry the entire Miami Heat on his shoulders in the second half of the game. But at present, it is obvious that he has failed.
Under Wu Dawei's dazzling light, no Miami person could have a move with him. So the score quickly became 48:70, and the contrast became a huge 22 points!
The atmosphere in the American Airlines Center has become extremely depressing at this time, and some Miami fans may even want to leave the court. Pat Riley had to request a timeout at this time.
But he would not give up on this game tonight because he decided to take a big bet and try his luck. The situation now cannot be worse, so it is better to treat a dead horse as a living horse!
Pat Riley asked for a timeout, and then he let the players quickly surround him.
"Don't give up on this game! Boys!" Pat Riley applauded, looking at the frustrated expressions around him. He couldn't help but try to motivate his players: "We are in a bad situation now, yes, very bad! There is no time to be worse than now!"
Pat Riley said: "But what I want to say is that the game is not over yet! This means we have to continue fighting. Since the situation cannot be worse than it is now, I have an idea!"
Everyone's eyes lit up. No Miami player would want to lose this home game tonight, especially LeBron James, because it was his MVP night; so when Pat Riley said that he had an idea, everyone stared at the big man who had already achieved success.
Everyone wants to know what kind of solutions this godfather-level coach has to help the Miami Heat at this moment have a chance to get rid of such a bad situation at this moment.
The game kicked off again after a one-minute pause. The Cleveland Cavaliers are currently leading the opponent by as much as 22 points. Although there is still one and a half quarters, most people believe it. The Clevelanders are sure to win this game.
"The Miami people still want to struggle to death. This is understandable. Because no one will easily give up an East Final game! Although they currently have a one-point lead in the big score, it is only one point! But I just want to say that the Miami people's lead will end soon. Because the Cleveland Cavaliers will definitely win this game tonight. The 22-point lead ensures their victory tonight! The Miami people must pay for their complacency and pride in this game!"
Charles Barkley said indignantly, saying this evil made him feel very happy. But soon, when the game started again, Miami first scored two points in the offense, and then acted on the defensive end, which made Barkley unhappy.
They scored the goal after returning from the timeout, rewritten the score to 50:70, and then returned to the defensive end. After Billups dribbled the ball through halftime, he chose to continue handing the ball to Wu Dawei, who had already scored 39 points in this game tonight.
After Wu Dawei got the ball, he faced LeBron James' defense. In this game tonight, Wu Dawei, who had scored under James' defense countless times, had extremely strong confidence at this time.
Wu Dawei directly launched an offense against James' defense. He has successfully fought James many times in this game, which is a rare thing to see in previous games. But this game tonight obviously has other meanings.
LeBron James won the MVP with great strength. Didn’t he just want to show it to Wu Dawei? So at this time, Wu Dawei kept singles, and also received the support of Cleveland Cavaliers players.
James' face at that time was not as silent and wronged as he is now.
Wu Dawei launched an attack and quickly seized the initiative. Although James' reaction was also very fast, it was obvious that Wu Dawei's form in the game tonight was very outstanding.
Just when people thought that Wu Dawei was going to cross James' defense line and get points like the last time, suddenly, Dwyne Wade came over from the flank!
In an instant, he and LeBron James became double-teams against Wu Dawei. At this time, Wu Dawei had already rushed to the position one step ahead of the sideline of the paint area, and he could score with a throw as long as he took a step forward. However, Wade and James blocked all Wu Dawei's forward routes at this time.
However, Anthony Parker was freed, and Wu Dawei could choose to pass the ball to Parker. This was also the big bet that Pat Riley decided when he was suspended before.
Duel Wu Dawei was desperately tied up as the Cavaliers' most vigorous firepower point in this game. Pat Riley decided to use duel Wu Dawei to force Wu Dawei to split the ball and add points to him except him, which was not as good as Wu Dawei's teammates who had more people.
If Wu Dawei doesn't pass it, it means that he will face the defense of two people, which is extremely difficult on the offensive end! If he chooses to force his attack, it will undoubtedly greatly reduce his shooting rate.
What would Wu Dawei choose at this time? Pat Riley, who was standing on the sidelines, wait and see, and then he laughed. Because Wu Dawei chose to force his attacks against Wade and James.
Obviously, the MVP award ceremony before the start of the game tonight still stimulated Wu Dawei's nerves. So he would vent his feelings in this game at all costs!
The basketball was thrown out, but it didn't go in! Pat Riley had some bottom in his heart, but it was just some bottom. Because he then became extremely depressed again, the missing ball hit the basket and knocked out of the basket. However, it was not obtained by the Miami Heat players.
Wu Dawei appeared under the basket, and then he jumped up and grabbed the ball, without giving anyone a chance to react, and then he succeeded!
Wu Dawei continued to score, which was already the 41st point he scored in this game! He was using his performance to tell everyone that his hot state could not be stopped by artificial means.
The cheers of Miami people didn't sound at all, because they were disappointed again immediately.
Although Wade and James had a good attack before, Wu Dawei controlled the entire offensive end like a ghost!
50:72, the gap between the two teams is still so far away. Although the Miami Heat did not intend to give up this game, they were still trying to equalize the score and recover the gap. However, this huge gap is like the Pacific Ocean, which makes them unable to see each other at a glance.
This situation made the Cleveland Cavaliers players feel happy. At the same time, it made the Miami Heat players feel extremely desperate. Although the belief and the encouragement of head coach Pat Riley supported them to continue chasing, as Wu Dawei scored again and again, this blow was becoming more and more desperate!
However, the Miami Heat still scored a goal after returning to the offensive end. James was indeed upset that he did not grab the rebound before, but after returning to the offensive end, he regained a trace of confidence. Because he succeeded in the jump shot under Wu Dawei's defense.
This is a rare score he scored under Wu Dawei's defense in this game. He scored the 17th point tonight, but this is not something to celebrate. Because this will only remind him how huge the gap between him and Wu Dawei is tonight.
But at the same time, the final score will still allow LeBron. James to continue to expect this game tonight. After the Miami Heat scored by James, they need to return to their half because the Cleveland Cavaliers have attacked again.
Chauncey Billups dribbled the ball through the half, and Mario Chalmos was no longer able to pose any threat to him tonight. However, on the offensive end, Billups, as the team's point guard, did not choose to play individually, but once again sought high-level cooperation with Wu Dawei.
Although Wu Dawei's position is not good, Billups still insists on making this choice. Firstly, it is because Wade is the core player of the team, and secondly, they still have agreed to make this game a unique one-man show for Wu Dawei!
As teammates, everyone knew very well how humiliating and pressure Wu Dawei was before the start of this game. Of course, they would give Wu Dawei as much help as possible at this time. After all, if it weren't for Wu Dawei, they might have been fishing at home long ago. How could they enjoy the camera and gaze that focused the whole world!?
Wu Dawei once again cooperated with Billups at a high position, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the Miami Heat. Especially when Wu Dawei got the pass after cooperating with Billups at a high position, James immediately restrained all his mind to deal with Wu Dawei, and other players of the Miami Heat were also ready at the same time.
Wu Dawei had no scruples and did not give up the opportunity to attack because of the last attack because he was double-teamed by a double team. He continued to hold the ball and started the attack. His only thought tonight was to defeat the Miami Heat and destroy LeBron James!
When Wu Dawei and James fought at a high position, the Miami Heat's defense also instantly began to shrink towards Wu Dawei. Wu Dawei dribbled with his crossed hands in front of him and caught James off guard. However, he shook James's position a little bit, and Dwyne Wade on the side had already arrived!
In another moment, Wade and James formed a front and back attack on Wu Dawei! Wu Dawei once again faced an extremely difficult situation, but Wu Dawei seemed to have no intention of shaking his mind at this time. He gritted his teeth and still held the ball and launched an attack on the inside.
Although Wade is also a strong defender, there is still a gap compared to Wu Dawei. Wu Dawei easily rushed into the paint area, but his crisis was not over because James was chasing him closely!
At this time, Wu Dawei still jumped resolutely. He jumped up like this without any fake moves. As well as the two people who jumped up, James and Wade were also jumping up.
The three people encountered each other in the air. Wade and James glared and stretched out their huge palms like palm fan. They tried to block Wu Dawei's shot, but in the air, Wu Dawei stunned everyone.
No one thought that he could dodge the block that James and Wade united in the air. A trolley gave Wu Dawei room to take action. The moment the ball flew to the basket, this was an ending that everyone had never expected for this offense and defense.
The ball hits the rebound and then bounces into the frame!
James and Wade, two people who have always been good at slapping people, were easily shaken away by Wu Dawei!
Chapter completed!
