281. Howard and David Wu

The Cavaliers once again had a wonderful start at the beginning of the game. Although this start tonight cannot be compared with the start on the night of the 21st, it also gave the Cleveland Cavaliers an advantage in terms of the field and the numbers.

This is enough to make them happy. After all, they have entered the Eastern Conference finals now. As long as they pass this step, the Cleveland Cavaliers will be able to enter the finals for the second consecutive year!

Currently, the two teams in the Western Conference Finals are the Los Angeles Clippers and the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Cavaliers dare not say that they have a 100% winning rate in these two teams, but at least they have to go up to June 4th.

For these two teams, the Cavaliers have won more than lose in the past two seasons. In fact, aren’t the Cavaliers currently winning more than lose more than lose against most teams in the previous league?

This can also be said to be a manifestation of strength.

A good start is a great thing for any team, because it means they will start the game as the leader. The Cavaliers started the game as the leader, and they played very well in the following games.

Although LeBron James, the core of the Miami Heat team, showed some signs of hot form at the beginning of the game. However, this did not worry Cleveland Cavaliers coach Byron Scott for too long, because Wu Dawei soon used his actions to prove why the league awarded the best defensive player trophy to himself, and there was no dispute.

Because he is the most outstanding defensive player on this planet. On the defensive end, Wu Dawei said second, but no one dared to say first!

This is the confidence that Wu Dawei brought after two consecutive seasons of outstanding results, not to mention that people think so now. At least for now, there is no other defensive player as outstanding as Wu Dawei in the league, let alone better than Wu Dawei. That is simply a fantasy.

LeBron James was blocked from behind by Wu Dawei, and his previous continuous shots had a slight decline. Perhaps Wu Dawei's blocking hurt his wrist. In short, it made James no longer perform as hot as he was on the offensive end.

In this way, the game soon entered the rhythm of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Although the Miami Heat are not just LeBron James who won the MVP this season, they also have Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh; but the Cleveland Cavaliers also have Dwight Howard, the league's number one center forward in the interior.

Moreover, Howard also showed a good state from the beginning of the game tonight. However, Dwyne Wade and Chris Bosh did not show their strength at once. They played well, which is why the Cleveland Cavaliers were able to quickly establish their advantage in the subsequent games.

However, although the Cavaliers have taken the lead from the beginning of the game, the Miami Heat are not that easy to pass. There is not much difference in strength between the two teams, otherwise they would not have met in the Eastern Conference finals and tied 1:1.

Although the Cleveland Cavaliers have a very good record against the Miami Heat, it is now the Eastern Conference finals, and the Cleveland Cavaliers will not always recall the past. After all, it is already a past tense, and the hero will not mention the courage of the past. Moreover, these past matchmaking records will not bring any substantial benefits to the Cavaliers.

Moreover, Wu Dawei's performance tonight was not as crazy as he did on the night of the 21st. Although he performed on both offense and defense, he did not play in a hot state from the beginning of the game like he did in the previous game.

So although the Cavaliers have established a leading advantage from the beginning, the advantage is not big, at least not as big as Cleveland fans imagine. In this way, the Miami people will naturally continue to maintain their hopes for this game.

Although Miami Heat fans suffered a blow from the beginning of this game, LeBron James did not completely smash Wu Dawei's DPOY night as they imagined, but they still knew how to comfort themselves.

If they can't even destroy other people's party, they will of course choose to settle for the second best and win this game. Turn the total score of this round of the East Finals series into 2:1, which is also an acceptable result.

The Cleveland Cavaliers' lead in the first quarter was not big. At the end of the first quarter, the score was 22:27 and 5 points. Although this could not help the Cleveland Cavaliers establish their winning streak in this game, the 5-point gap was not something that could be caught up in the blink of an eye.

So the idea of ​​Miami people to settle for the second best is a bit naive. They want to win this game and to re-lead this series, the Clevelanders are not thinking that way. After all, they are the team that plays at home. Whether in terms of time, place and three aspects, they are the more advantageous side, so it is naturally even more impossible for Miami people to steal the fruits of the victory of this game from their hands.

Wu Dawei's performance in the first quarter was of course quite well-behaved compared to the previous game, but if he didn't compare it with the previous game, he could actually be considered excellent.

Although he only scored 9 points, he had 2 steals and 2 blocks, and also made 3 contributions in assists. It can be said that he is balanced offense and defense and mastered the rhythm.

Wu Dawei connected the team well on both offense and defense, and the performance of another star in the team is the key to the Cleveland Cavaliers' leading position. Dwight Howard scored his value in the inside tonight, scoring 12 points and 5 rebounds in the first quarter. His performance undoubtedly made the Miami Heat feel a headache.

Because of this, Dwight Howard's outstanding state forced Miami Heat coach Pat Riley to weigh his decisions at the beginning of the game. Whether he wanted to change his team's strategy, measure which side should be focused on inside and outside, and distribute personnel in a fact or balanced manner.

After all, Dwight Howard is also a top-level star in the league. His bug-like physical fitness makes Dwight Howard always have an advantage in the league, especially for a team like the Miami Heat that has not outstanding inside skills. Dwight Howard can always cause a shaking situation in their inside line if he has some outstanding performances.

This forced Pat Riley to shrink his concerns again. Although Wu Dawei's performance in the last game made them feel frightened, Dwight Howard's performance tonight also had to attract attention.

This is why the Cavaliers spent a lot of effort to get Dwight Howard from the Magic to the Cleveland Cavaliers. He and Wu Dawei formed a restraint, which could easily make the opponent snatch the ball and avoid the other. Sometimes, the opponent loses the other side. After all, there is a top-level star in the inside and outside. This is definitely a huge bad news for the opponents of this team!

Even though it is a team like the Miami Heat that has the Big Three, it will feel helpless, let alone other teams. Although the Heat also has their star player Chris Bosh in the No. 4 position, Boss has been making constant sacrifices since he came to the Miami Heat.

His current position in the Heat is more like a C&S pitcher and an inside rebounder, and he doesn't even do much to support him. Because Wade and James can always easily solve the game, as the only inside player among the Big Three, Bosh's ability and role have been downplayed.

Now, it is obviously difficult to get Bosh to involve Howard.

Fortunately, the Miami Heat had a chance to breathe during the last period of the first quarter to the second quarter. Kyrie Irving, who came on the bench for the Cavaliers, had performed well all season as the team's sixth man, but he seemed to have hit a rookie wall after entering the playoffs; and Danny Green, a newcomer who performed well in the second half of the season, also performed poorly in the playoffs as well as the regular season.

In this way, the substitute lineup led by James can easily start slowly catching up with the score difference during this period of time.

After forming the Big Three, in order to make up for the insufficient attack firepower of the lineup, the Miami Heat always leave a superstar to lead the team on the court during rotation. The advantage of this is that they can always have an offensive strength, and the disadvantage of course is that it is easy to disrupt the overall layout of the team and allow the stars to consume more physical fitness.

However, judging from the current situation tonight, this is still relatively good news, which at least allows them to find an opportunity to catch up with the score.

Although the Miami people were unwilling to admit it, they were indeed in a passive state in this game tonight. Even though the team caught up with some points at this time, the serious expressions on the faces of the Miami fans who sat on the sidelines to Cleveland did not untie, because they knew that the Cavaliers' head coach Byron Scott would make adjustments soon.

And what they worry most is Wu Dawei of the Cleveland Cavaliers, and tonight there will be a Dwight Howard, which makes them even bigger! (To be continued.
