69. Signal
The Cavaliers overtook the score in the second quarter, and they also held on to such an advantage, bringing it into halftime.
45:47. Although the lead is not much, it is enough to make the Clevelanders feel relieved. According to those messy statistics, so far, if the Cavaliers can lead during the midnight break this season, their winning rate is very high.
Of course, this is just a saying, and most people just treat it as an interesting thing. No one will relax and slack off because of this. Every game has to be fought to see the dawn of victory.
Wu Dawei scored 10 points in the first half and grabbed 4 rebounds. Although he has not contributed steals and blocks to the team so far tonight, his defense still shines all the Clevelanders.
Danny Granger, who got ten in the first quarter, suddenly disappeared from the amazing performance he had invincible in the past. Instead, the repeated anger and anger are the best proof.
Of course, what excited Wu Dawei himself the most was not that he had successfully curbed Danny Granger on the defensive end, but that he once scored double digits in half tonight.
No wonder so many stars like to fight alone. The beauty of throwing basketball into the basket is indeed wonderful, and it best shows that they dominate a game. The offense is indeed more conspicuous.
He performed well on both offense and defense. Undoubtedly, Wu Dawei once again became the target of praise for head coach Byron Scott during the halftime break.
Although the outside world's public opinion is an environment of hostility and ridicule towards Wu Dawei, within the team, Wu Dawei has become more and more popular. On the defensive end, as Wu Dawei rarely plays with the ball, he can always directly convert his teammates' passes into assists. Therefore, many people have gradually fallen in love with him.
Head coach Byron Scott always entrusted important tasks to Wu Dawei at critical moments, which exacerbated this situation. This will undoubtedly send a signal for a team without a backbone.
This signal will slowly take shape in a subtle way, of course it is good for Wu Dawei. But for another person, it is absolutely bad.
Since James left Cleveland, Morris Williams intended to change the team's name and surname. So when Wu Dawei, a small role who had just arrived at the team this summer, suddenly became an important figure within the team, Williams was in a bad mood.
He also scored 9 points in the first half tonight, so when Byron Scott stood in the middle of the locker room and looked at the Cavaliers players, appreciating Wu Dawei's performance in the first half, Williams always had a calm face.
Looking at the Cavaliers who were cheering for Wu Dawei from time to time and teasing him, Williams suddenly realized that this Chinese striker whom he looked down upon was slowly becoming a weather vane within the team.
During the fifteen minutes of the halftime break, the atmosphere in the Cavaliers' locker room was not serious, but in the visiting locker room, it was very serious and even harsh.
Pacers head coach Vogel, who was extremely disappointed with the team's performance in the second quarter, thought it was so bad that he even called it a game of the Cavaliers' counterattack.
The fifteen-minute break was not very long. The fans sitting in the Quick Loan Center went to the bathroom and went out to buy some snacks. When they returned to their seats, they saw the players starting to emerge from the player's passage one by one.
After a brief few minutes of warm-up, the game started again.
45:47.
The Cleveland Cavaliers, the home leader, did not have priority in the second half. The reason was that their center Andre Valejo could not compete with the Pacers' traditional big center Roy Hibert at the beginning of the first quarter.
The Indiana's first wave of offense naturally started with their super forward guard swingman Danny Granger. Although he only scored 4 points in the second quarter, he was still the half-time scoring leader in this game with 14 points.
Granger faced Graham's defense, and he did not choose to shoot, but instead shook Graham away with a sway, then scored a basket from the inside to tie the score.
After a quick shake, Danny Granger, who was helpless in the first half by Wu Dawei, returned to a smooth state in the first quarter in the first offense in the third quarter.
"Oh! It seems that Granger's touch is really good tonight." Carlson couldn't help but exclaim for Granger, who has scored 16 points now.
"Then why did he make 1 of 4 shots in the second quarter?" Carlson's partner asked a question like a fool.
No wonder the author is too lazy to even give you a name, idiot! "Because it's Wu Dawei who is defending Granger!" Carlson said helplessly: "Didn't you find that as long as Wu Dawei is present, Granger will become very manic?"
After Granger scored the goal, he ran to the backcourt. When he passed by the midfield, he heard the questions and answers from the two commentators sitting behind the technical desk. Although they didn't speak loudly, the microphone did have the function of amplifying the sound.
In addition, after he scored a goal, Cleveland in the stadium was indifferent and made the stadium quiet for a second.
That Chinese can defend me!?
Granger expressed disdain for the commentator's words. Although he did lose face in front of Wu Dawei several times in the second quarter, he was just lucky and just guessed the direction of my disguised appearance!
There is a saying that goes, no tears will be shed before seeing the coffin. Granger probably only realizes how naive his thoughts are after being stolen by Wu Dawei and Yan Gaiga.
Then soon, he had an opportunity. In the fourth minute of the third quarter, head coach Byron Scott made his first substitution in the second half. Wu Dawei replaced Joey Graham, who was quite weak in the defense in the third quarter, and met Danny Granger again on the court.
The two of them were impressed by each other in the first half, so naturally they would not forget each other so quickly.
The score was still anxious at this time. The Cavaliers still retained a slight lead by relying on Williams' good touch tonight.
56:57.
At this time, the ball was in the hands of the Indiana. After Darren Collison dribbled through half the game, he passed the ball directly to Danny Granger, who had scored 6 points in the third quarter. Although the one standing in front of Granger at this time was Wu Dawei, who had embarrassed Granger in the first half before, Collison did not think that this unknown Chinese striker would be a sacred side.
But soon, he couldn't believe it anymore.
Danny Granger faced Wu Dawei with the ball. He was standing in the horn area outside the three-point line on the left. The two confronted each other for a while, and then Granger suddenly started!
After dribbling the ball on the spot for a while, he suddenly tried to speed up and shake Wu Dawei away. However, before he could fully display his movements, Wu Dawei seemed to have known in advance that Granger was going to exchange hands to dribble.
Wu Dawei stood there and just stretched out his hand to destroy the basketball controlled by Granger!
Wu Dawei stabbed the basketball and flew directly outside the field. Wu Dawei didn't want to chase it, but he suddenly saw two black figures, one tall and one short, sitting not far away in front of the direction where the basketball flew...
