248. Equalize
For the Cleveland Cavaliers, they encountered unexpected situations from the beginning in this sure-win game, which made them feel Alexander for a while!
After all, this is the opponent's home court. Although the Cleveland Cavaliers are not afraid of their opponents, they cannot underestimate the opponent too much. Because the New Jersey Nets are still a team with relatively strong strength in the Eastern Conference.
So when Wu Dawei saw Kyrie Irving dribbling tremblingly after halftime, he felt so nervous. No one would want to fall into infinite passiveness at the beginning, which was like a huge blow to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
So as the core player of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Wu Dawei naturally needs to actively kill this situation in the cradle before it happens!
So he hurriedly went up to answer Kyrie Irving, and Kyrie Irving did not hesitate. After seeing Wu Dawei reach out to ask for the ball at him, he quickly passed the ball to Wu Dawei.
The moment Wu Dawei received the ball, Wu Dawei felt relieved. Because Wu Dawei was still very confident about him. Although the Cleveland Cavaliers fell into a passive position at the beginning, Wu Dawei was not disrupted.
Not just Wu Dawei, the head coach of the team on the sidelines, Byron Scott felt relieved after seeing that Wu Dawei was receiving the ball. For him, Wu Dawei has always been his life-saving straw.
It has not only solved the various difficulties faced by Byron Scott at once.
That's why Byron Scott trusts Wu Dawei so much under the current situation. This is not for no reason, but Wu Dawei played one after another in the past games, which made Byron Scott see it.
It is precisely the accumulated precipitation of these processes that made Wu Dawei gain the trust of Byron Scott at this time. It is not only the trust of the team's head coach, but also the joy of the team's senior management.
When Wu Dawei held the ball, Gerald Wallace, who was responsible for playing against Wu Dawei in this game tonight, immediately became nervous. Although he was very disdainful of Wu Dawei before, he did not dare to underestimate this small forward player who almost swept the basketball world last year.
Although Wu Dawei has just returned from injury, his performance in the past two games has also made Gerald Wallace, who is in front of Wu Dawei, feel a little nervous at this time.
When Wu Dawei held the ball, Dwight Howard, who was in the inside, ran out very actively. In fact, he is not a player who likes to come to the high position to play pick-and-rolls for others, but it is an exception for Wu Dawei to hold the ball!
Dwight Howard has no resistance to playing pick-and-rolls for Wu Dawei, because every time he helps Wu Dawei play pick-and-rolls, he can always get very good results and offensive opportunities.
Wu Dawei and his tacit understanding have been developed in last year's playoffs. Although the two have not cooperated for more than half a year, in the past two games, Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard have cooperated very much at the high positions!
Moreover, the two players cooperated very well in the past two games, so Dwight Howard was so active at this time and made a high pick-and-roll for Wu Dawei.
This is an opportunity for the Cleveland Cavaliers to save their morale from being intercepted by Delon Williams before this! So Wu Dawei naturally did not dare to be ambiguous about this attack!
The moment he saw Dwight Howard come up to do a pick-and-roll for himself, he immediately launched an attack! Just like Dron Williams' steal before, suddenly, Wu Dawei's attack this time was also very sudden!
The first second he still didn't move the top of the stack, but the next second he suddenly became as agile as a rabbit!
Then, Wu Dawei quickly got rid of Gerald Wallace. Of course, as a defensive hero, Elvis was naturally not able to get rid of it easily. Although he was stunned for a moment and let Wu Dawei take the lead, he quickly reacted and quickly caught up!
But the moment he caught up with Wu Dawei, he immediately encountered another blow! He hit Dwight Howard, who was in high position to play pick-and-roll for Wu Dawei!
Then Gerald Wallace was naturally powerless to turn things around. He could only watch Wu Dawei disappear from his sight, and then shouted at his teammates: "Repair the defense!"
It is unrealistic to expect Brooke Lopez to make up for defense, because the big man's movement speed is really hard to compliment. He did try to make up for defense after Gerald Wallace was completely blocked by Dwight Howard.
But who would have thought that before he could rush forward to repair the defense, Wu Dawei had already allowed him to see the taillights of the car. Although Wu Dawei was a player with the third position, and his tonnage was even close to that of the fourth position. However, Wu Dawei's speed was still very fast after rushing to the top!
At least Brooke Lopez was completely unable to keep up, and in this way, Wu Dawei naturally traveled smoothly! He rushed to the near-the-free throw line with the ball, and then Wu Dawei did not pause because there were no New Jersey Nets players beside him at this time.
So Wu Dawei continued to hold the ball and rushed forward. At this time, Humphries, the only player in the inside, could only rush up to make up for the defense. He completely let go of his defender and rushed towards Wu Dawei desperately, trying to make up for the defense of Wu Dawei!
Of course, Wu Dawei also saw Humphries rushing towards him during the breakthrough process. Although Humphries is not a very outstanding player, he still cannot be underestimated!
So when Wu Dawei saw Humphries rushing over, he had no idea of resisting the other party. Because at the same time, he saw Andre Valajo, who was empty and completely unattended!
When Humphries rushed in front of him, Wu Dawei immediately threw the ball in his hand into the sky!
Immediately afterwards, Humphries, who rushed to make up for defense, saw the ball flying over his head! At this time, he could only watch this scene helplessly!
The ball flew up and flew towards Valazzo in the inside line. At this time, the Brazilian also jumped up. Although he was not a player who was the limit of the sky. However, completing an air relay was a trivial matter!
He grabbed the ball directly in the air, and at the same time, amid everyone's screams, he pressed the ball into Rank!
Although this scene is the thing that New Jersey fans are most reluctant to see, they are helpless about it! Because their team's turn is always unfast, and sometimes it can be said to be very slow!
This is also the reason why they cannot perform in accordance with their performance while having such a luxurious lineup.
The New Jersey Nets' rotation speed has always been criticized. Although they can often blossom on the offensive end, their performance on the defensive end is often ridiculed by people.
Wu Dawei and Andre Varaccio completed a very outstanding aerial relay cooperation. This cooperation helped the Cleveland Cavaliers equalize the score after being intercepted by the opponent and won the first good start!
2:2!
After the opening panic, the Cleveland Cavaliers still stabilized their position in the following game! Wu Dawei is undoubtedly the strongest and most reliable support for this team. It is precisely because of his breakthrough that this opportunity for air relay was created.
Moreover, when the New Jersey Nets took the lead, the Cleveland Cavaliers performed so well afterwards, which undoubtedly made people feel very exciting!
In this way, they not only equalized the score, but also brought their morale back to the same starting line!
The fans of the New Jersey Nets on the sidelines were obviously shocked after seeing the Cleveland Cavaliers complete such an attack. Then, they naturally broke up their momentum that had just made their way forward.
When the momentum falls, the momentum on the other side will naturally rise. The fans who came to the Continental Airlines Center Arena tonight to support Wu Dawei became very excited at this time. Although this goal was not caused by Wu Dawei's direct assist!
Of course, it can be regarded as being planned by Wu Dawei. The fans who support Wu Dawei were of course very happy for Wu Dawei at this time!
The score was equalized, and both sides appeared and stood on the same starting line again. However, this result made Deron Williams feel very dissatisfied because he had just made such a good start for the team, but when the team turned around, the opponent equalized the score with another method to increase morale!
This of course made him feel dissatisfied, especially before the start of this game. Deron Williams was very unhappy with the Clevelanders. Deron Williams was naturally even more dissatisfied with his teammates making his opponents perform such an excellent performance in the game!
Especially this time the planner is Wu Dawei! He is the core of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Generally speaking, the competition between the two teams can also be called a game between the aces of the two teams!
Although Delon Williams had the upper hand at the beginning, Wu Dawei was not inferior to the disadvantage! His direct assist helped his teammates complete such a wonderful aerial relay dunk. The two can be said to be evenly divided. At this time, not only the score between the two sides became a draw, but the two did not have much difference in performance.
If we insist on who will perform better after each attack, it is obviously Delong Williams. After all, he has one more steal than Wu Dawei, and steals have always been what Wu Dawei is best at.
After Gerald Wallace, who had not followed Wu Dawei well in the defense before, came to the offensive end with the team, the pressure on him did not decrease much! Instead, it seemed that he had increased!
Because as we all know, Wu Dawei is not just a player with excellent offense, but his performance on the defensive end is even more terrifying!
So at this time, the pressure on Gerald Wallace was not only not eliminated, but was intensifying!
He and Wu Dawei have not played against each other a lot. After all, the two have always been players in the Eastern Conference and have to face off at least four times a year! But Wu Dawei is the one who has just made a comeback, but Gerald Wallace does not dare to relax his vigilance at all. At this time...
For him, the pressure Wu Dawei put on him is everywhere! After the Cleveland Cavaliers' offense, it was the New Jersey Nets' turn to attack. This offense can be regarded as the first attack of the New Jersey Nets in this game and the first positional offense!
The previous one-stop performance of Deron Williams' steal and fast break dunk did surprise New Jersey fans, but it was obviously just an accident. More often, if the New Jersey Nets want to get points in the game, they still need to score points from positional battles!
When they came to the offensive end, what the New Jerseys had to face was a team that had won the best defensive players in the past four seasons! They had to face the challenge of two best defensive players in the past four seasons on the offensive end. Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard protected the inside and outside respectively. It was a kind of pressure for the New Jersey Nets to attack on the inside and outside!
And such pressure is not something Deron Williams can understand in the previous fast break. After he controlled the ball and passed half, even when facing Kyrie Irving's defense, Deron Williams did not dare to take it lightly.
Although he was very angry with the Cleveland media's remarks before the game, at this time, Deron Williams also understood that he could not take it lightly or underestimate his opponent! Because Deron Williams would still have a clear understanding of the strength between the two sides! (To be continued.
