282. The same result
ps: Sorry, I'm late. Today's two chapters, and there is another chapter to post at 6 pm.
Relying on the lack of vitality in the substitute lineup of the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Miami Heat, led by LeBron James, slowly narrowed the original 5-point gap.
Miami fans are of course very excited about this, but they also have their own worries, and soon their worries become reality.
Of course, the Cavaliers head coach Byron Scott could not watch the Miami Heat catch up with the gap. Although it was indeed a bit early to replace the team's core Wu Dawei on the court after only two minutes in the second quarter, but this is the Eastern Conference final after all, and the playoffs are just a place to compete for physical fitness reserves.
Any game may determine the life and death of a team in the playoffs, so no game can be taken lightly. Even if you lead significantly, you must be cautious enough before winning this round of series, not to mention that the Cavaliers have no advantage now.
Of course, Byron Scott, as the head coach, dared to be even more careless.
Wu Dawei was soon replaced by Scott on the court in advance. This round of the series is a battle between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Miami Heat about Finals tickets. At the same time, he is also the core player of the two teams, a contest between Wu Dawei and LeBron James.
Such topics were talked about by many people long before the start of this series. In the first two games of this series, the performance of these two people also became the focus of people's discussion.
In the first game, Wu Dawei and LeBron James performed well. James scored 28 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists in a quasi-triple double. Wu Dawei was even better, scoring 32 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in a triple double!
Although Wu Dawei was a little better in the personal data of this game, LeBron James had the upper hand in the results of the game, and the Miami Heat won the first game of this round of the series!
Undoubtedly, although James' data is not as impressive as Wu Dawei, he is the winner of the first game. This also allowed James to slowly gain the upper hand, and then the league announced the MVP winner this season, which made LeBron James at its peak.
All this continued to the MVP coronation ceremony before the second game. LeBron James' arrogant words at the coronation ceremony undoubtedly stimulated Wu Dawei's nerves. So Wu Dawei also fought a battle that could represent his career!
Wu Dawei spent less than three quarters of the game to contribute 48 points to the team, helping the team defeat the Miami Heat, which played at home, and completely let LeBron James lose face during his own MVP coronation night.
At the same time, the Cleveland Cavaliers also tied the score again. The 1:1 score seemed to have caused the two teams to tie the two teams, even Wu Dawei and LeBron James.
However, this balance of power did not last for too long, because after the third game, another person will be destined to stand out between the two! Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that Wu Dawei is this person, which is greater than LeBron James.
Because when Wu Dawei returned to the court, he still gained the upper hand in the battle with LeBron James!
When Wu Dawei returned to the court, the score was 28:30. The Cleveland Cavaliers' previous five-point lead had become only 2 points left, most of which were thanks to LeBron James for leading the team to catch up during this period.
Moreover, the Cavaliers only led by two points. When Wu Dawei returned to the court, it was time, and the ball was still in the hands of the Miami Heat. LeBron and James took the ball at a high position, and as soon as Wu Dawei returned to the court, he immediately threw himself into the tense defense.
Although there are old players like McMiller in the Miami Heat's substitute lineup, everyone knows that at this time, there is no doubt that most of the Miami Heat's firepower will rely on LeBron James to play.
So as soon as Wu Dawei came on the court, he focused all his energy on LeBron James, and he believed that LeBron James must really want to break through his defense.
The two people are incompatible, so Wu Dawei naturally knows more about what LeBron James thinks about him.
James attacked. Sure enough, after dribbling the ball through half, James quickly launched an attack on Wu Dawei's defense line. The previous consecutive scoring allowed James to sweep away the depression in the first quarter. At this time, his attack was like lightning and thunder. He tried to rely on his strong body to break Wu Dawei's defense.
But he also forgot about falling into it. Wu Dawei is also a strong player. However, this time, facing LeBron and James' tough collision, Wu Dawei did not meet it. Instead, he made a mistake and made LeBron and James' impact go away.
This situation made James very happy because it made him feel that perhaps it was because Wu Dawei was scared and he retreated, so he made a move away. But when James passed by Wu Dawei, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
Because he felt the empty hand again, then he glanced out of the corner of his eyes and took off the ball he controlled. Wu Dawei walked around James' body and poked the ball from LeBron James's hand again from behind!
Kyrie Irving, who was ambushing on the wing, showed his agility at this time. He hurriedly grabbed the ball before everyone. Then he raised his head and saw that Wu Dawei had already started running towards the frontcourt, so Irving chose to throw the ball to Wu Dawei.
After Wu Dawei got the ball, he continued to run to the frontcourt. James, who lost the ball, couldn't help but feel annoyed, so after seeing Wu Dawei holding the ball to launch a fast break in the frontcourt, James tried his best to chase after him.
Wu Dawei once again gained the upper hand in the confrontation. Although this is no longer a strange thing, every time Wu Dawei defends LeBron James' defense, breaks his ball or blocks his shot, it always makes Cleveland fans feel extremely excited.
At this time, when Cleveland fans saw Wu Dawei taking the ball and rushing ahead, the cheers from the Quick Loan Center were even more excited. Compared to defense, of course, they would rather open the gap with the Miami Heat at this time.
Moreover, the person behind Wu Dawei was LeBron James, and the fans of Cleveland were even more excited. Wu, dunk in front of that traitor! Let him see who is the better player!
Wu Dawei rushed into the paint area. James followed one after another. Wu Dawei felt the pressure from behind, but he still resolutely chose to jump up, and LeBron James behind him also jumped in the air.
James was furious and raised his arms high, as if he wanted to give him the other person to Wu Dawei in his ways.
But Wu Dawei did not give him such a chance. He threw the ball into the sky, but it was not a hook or a dunk. He did not give James any chance to block it, and the flight trajectory of the basketball was also very strange.
The ball hit the rebound, crossed Wu Dawei and James' heads, and then rebounded. But the sound of basketball passing by the net followed one after another! After the ball rebounded, it was caught by Kyrie Irving, who came from behind, in the air. Then Irving did not waste this opportunity to score easily. A one-handed ball was smashed into the net by him!
28:32. Wu Dawei was always able to play an immediate role after he played. This time, his interception and assists helped the Cleveland Cavaliers through this crisis very well.
James couldn't help feeling a little depressed about this. Just like Monkey King, who can never escape the Five Finger Mountain of Tathagata Buddha, the deep frustration seemed to be unable to find any way except for making James grit his teeth.
Because immediately on the defensive end, Wu Dawei once again lost all his face. James, who had scored 5 points in a row, was first intercepted by Wu Dawei after Wu Dawei came on the court, and then in the next attack, he was directly blocked by Wu Dawei in a mid-range jump shot!
Wu Dawei once again showed his ability as the best defensive player. LeBron James suffered consecutive defeats, which made the atmosphere in the Quick Loan Center high. Cleveland people just like to see James' frustrated, and the heat absorption and frustration all came from Wu Dawei, which made Cleveland fans even more happy!
After Wu Dawei came on the court, he quickly helped the Cleveland Cavaliers, whose situation was somewhat unstable, stabilized the situation on the court. His outstanding performance on the defensive end also forced Miami Heat head coach Pat Riley to request a timeout.
Then, Pat Riley replaced LeBron James, who had played for more than ten minutes in a row, because he felt that James was at a disadvantage many times before, and more because his physical fitness was lost too quickly.
When the one-minute timeout ended, LeBron James was placed on the player's seat by Pat Riley to rest, and instead Dwyne Wade and Chris Bosh, who had been resting off the court before. Of course, the Cavaliers also had to make corresponding adjustments, after all, the main players were resting almost at this time.
After Dwight Howard returned to the court, the Cleveland Cavaliers regained the advantage in the inside. The Cavaliers lost in the first game because Howard was not in good shape, and the big victory in the second game was of course not only because of Wu Dawei's outbreak, but also the recovery of Howard's condition is also a key.
Howard's performance tonight was no less than Wu Dawei, which of course made the Cavaliers more confident.
They have expanded their lead again and naturally they will not succumb to maintaining the status quo. The current situation is that they have the advantage of home court. Of course, the Cleveland Cavaliers hope to end the game as soon as possible. And at this time, LeBron James is not on the court. It can be said that it is a great opportunity for the Cleveland Cavaliers to expand their lead.
How could they not seize such an opportunity to wipe out the Miami Heat in one fell swoop and confidence in winning tonight?
So when the game started again, the Cleveland Cavaliers launched a fierce attack on the court. They wanted to defeat their opponents in one fell swoop, hoping to end the game as soon as possible and achieve a result that makes everyone in Cleveland happy.
But this is still a bit taken for granted. Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh are in good shape in the playoffs this season, so even without LeBron James, the Miami Heat will not collapse.
You should know that any of the Big Three is a player of the core of the team in one team. Therefore, of course, the personal abilities of Wade and Bosh should not be underestimated.
Although the Cavaliers wanted to make a quick decision, Wade and Bosh still joined forces to stabilize the situation for the Miami Heat. Of course, they just wanted to drag LeBron James back on the court.
However, although the Cleveland Cavaliers cannot directly extinguish the Miami Heat at this time, they can still rely on the situation where LeBron and James are not present and the Big Three are one less, so as to widen the gap as possible.
As long as you can play as much advantage as possible, it is still a great thing for the Cleveland Cavaliers. So when the main players of the Cavaliers return to the court, they can be said to have tried their best!
Everyone hopes to win this home game smoothly. After all, everything seems to be inclined to the Cleveland Cavaliers. After the second game, the Miami Heat seemed to have lost all the advantages. Wu Dawei defended the DPOY, which made the Cavaliers have a huge momentum before the start of this game.
As the Cavaliers' opponent tonight, the Miami Heat played the game during the period when LeBron James was not on the court, which made the Miami Heat feel quite difficult on the court.
Although Dwyne Wade and Chris Bosh are both super stars that cannot be underestimated. There are also many star players in the Cavaliers. Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard are hailed as the most powerful combination partner in the league this season.
In the words of Cleveland fans, is there another team in the league that has two top five stars as partners?
Obviously, the Cleveland Cavaliers are just this example, although this is a bit rampant. However, it is somewhat true. Although Wu Dawei has not won the MVP this season, who is the number one star between him and James? Obviously, more people now tend to be Wu Dawei; and Dwight Howard, as the most powerful center player in the league, can be said to be the number one person in the fifth position, his strength is reasonable in the top five in the league.
What's more, the Cavaliers have gradually gained an advantage in this round of series. Although the score is still tied 1:1, it's just like this game. Even from the momentum, the Cavaliers have more advantages.
The Cavaliers quickly pulled the score apart in the subsequent game in the second quarter, and they quickly stabilized the situation of the game, causing the Miami Heat to fall into a passive beating situation.
The score gap was quickly widened to more than 8 points. If Wade and Bosh had not tried their best to help the team, perhaps the Miami Heat would have encountered a gap of more than double digits behind the Cavaliers at the end of the half. This would have been a repeat of the previous game!
But the only difference is that the roles of both sides have changed. The home team was behind in the last game, while the away team was behind in this game.
The Cleveland Cavaliers played an increasingly skilled game in the subsequent games in the second quarter, which also made Miami Heat head coach Pat Riley a little worried.
Naturally, James, who was sitting off the court, obviously became anxious, and he was quickly replaced on the court.
Obviously, although the Miami Heat have not been forced into a desperate situation, they can only try hard.
However, James' re-appearance did not bring immediate results to the Heat. This is one of the gaps between him and Wu Dawei. After Wu Dawei comes on the court, he can always produce effects like a microwave oven. At this point, James is far from that.
The Cavaliers finally led the Miami Heat who played away after the second quarter. They led by 8 points, 48:56. The Cavaliers seemed at ease in this game, which further strengthened the Clevelanders' determination to win in this game.
Because Wu Dawei scored 15 points, 7 assists and 6 rebounds in the half, and also had 4 blocks and 3 steals on the defensive end; and Dwight Howard, the core of the team in the inside, also recorded 19 points and 10 rebounds!
The Miami Heat's Big Three obviously did not perform so well, otherwise their team would not have fallen behind the Cavaliers by 8 points in the half. Although James repeatedly encountered "humiliation" by Wu Dawei in the first half, he still contributed 14 points and 8 rebounds in the first half. Dwyne Wade scored 12 points, and Chris Bosh only had 8 points and 8 rebounds.
Undoubtedly, although it is a disadvantage in terms of number of players, the combination of Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard is better than the Big Three of the Miami Heat, and the performance in this game.
The inner and outer restrain each other and echo each other. The Cleveland Cavaliers' superstar combination is obviously more reasonable than the Miami Big Three; at least they will not be more or less functionally repeated like LeBron James, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh.
At the end of the first half, although the result was somewhat different from what Cleveland fans thought before the game, the range of this entry and exit would not be as large as Miami fans had imagined in the last game. Although the 8-point lead could not help the Cleveland Cavaliers to establish the victory of this game at this time, it was enough for them to have enough advantages in the second half.
And the Miami Heat, undoubtedly, when the fifteen-minute break is over, they have to face a more difficult situation than the first half. Because every minute in the second half, the pressure on them will increase by one point.
"The Cleveland Cavaliers played a very good first half game. Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard played together to help the Cavaliers completely suppress the Miami Heat. The Miami people played away, and their situation is even more unoptimistic. The second half game is definitely a bad luck for them. I believe that before this game, many Miami people will definitely hope that LeBron James can destroy Wu Dawei's crowned DPOY night this season, but now, I think what they need to care more about is their completely unoptimistic situation in this game! Haha!"
Charles Barkley, who was sitting on the sidelines, laughed. The situation in the first half made him very happy. There was nothing more to make Barkley happy than seeing the Miami Heat fall behind.
After LeBron James defected from Cleveland and joined Miami, Barkley decided to make the Black Heat a lifetime...
And as Charles Barkley said, when the first half of the East District final ended, Miami fans were no longer in the mood to fantasize about how James would destroy Wu Dawei's crowning night in this game, because they had to care more about the fate of their team in this game.
In the first half of the game, or at the opponent's home court, is there any other explanation for the current fate of the Miami Heat besides the four words "how bad"?
At least even the Miami Heat didn't think there would be any other explanation. Every Heat player's expression when he walked towards the player channel was very serious. On the away game, they were originally isolated and helpless. The thought of facing such a bad situation in the second half was obviously even more worried.
The same result of the first half ending as the second game was, except that the only difference was that the side behind this time became the team that played away; the Miami Heat once wanted to be the Cleveland Cavaliers in the last game in this game, but obviously, they did not succeed in the role conversion.
At least the current situation proves their fantasy before the start of the game, just dreaming in the daytime. LeBron James once again fell into a disadvantage in the contest with Wu Dawei, and this seems to be the theme of his confrontation with Wu Dawei... (To be continued.
