251. New Jersey people are more troubled
Although the Cleveland Cavaliers were attacked by the New Jersey Nets or rather Deron Williams at the beginning of this game and were also behind in the first quarter, their confidence in winning this game tonight did not have much impact.
For the Cleveland Cavaliers, the team's head coach Byron Scott still puts his hope of overtaking in the second quarter. The reason why he replaced the team's inside core Dwight Howard so early in the first quarter was that he wanted to play a time difference in the second quarter so that Dwight Howard could return to the basketball court at the beginning of the second quarter to put pressure on the New Jerseys.
Because he found that the New Jersey Nets were not only unable to solve the Cleveland Cavaliers' signature player Wu Dawei, but they also had no choice but to face players like Dwight Howard with a large tonnage in the interior.
Although they also have an All-Star inside player Brooke Lopez, when the two of them are fighting on the basketball court, Brooke Lopez will still fall into a disadvantage.
Apart from Brooke Lopez, the New Jersey Nets have no other good inside player. Although Humphries is a powerful player, his job is still a power forward player.
It is unrealistic for him to withstand Dwight Howard in the interior, so Byron Scott hopes that Dwight Howard can lead the Cleveland Cavaliers' counterattack horn after playing in the second quarter!
Even if the New Jersey Nets lead at this time, Byron Scott will not let the opponent be proud for too long. Because the Cleveland Cavaliers are bound to win this game. So they cannot let the opponent maintain such a lead all the time, because it will be very helpless for the Cleveland Cavaliers to win this game tonight.
After the two-minute break between the festivals, the second quarter soon kicked off again. For the Cleveland Cavaliers, this quarter was the moment when they sounded the horn of the counterattack!
At the beginning of the second quarter, the team's head coach Byron Scott sent a lineup led by Dwight Howard. The two people on the front line were JJ Hickson and Michael Beasley, both extremely impactful players, while on the back line were the experienced Chauncey Billups and Anthony Parker.
Originally, the team's second point guard, Wu Dawei's good friend Ramon Sessions, has been difficult for him to play this season.
Because the team's playing time in the backcourt is basically divided up by four people: Kyrie Irving, Danny Green, Anthony Parker and Chauncey Billups.
Unless Byron Scott likes to play as a small lineup of three defenders like Houston Rockets coach Mike Hale. Otherwise, Sessions will have a hard time to play now.
This is the trouble of a strong team. They always have many excellent players. Because as a successful group, they are always the team that players yearn for the most. After all, people are born to love victory. To many people, they are far more comfortable to win on the bench every night than to lose on the basketball court.
Haven’t you seen so many cheerleaders on the bench in the league? Because victory can always make people very excited!
But when the second quarter started again, the situation did not develop as expected. At least it was quite different from what Byron Scott had imagined at the beginning of this quarter.
After the game restarted, although the lineup sent by the Cleveland Cavaliers now is indeed extremely powerful on the books, they did not perform in actual performance on the basketball court.
At the beginning of the second quarter, although the New Jersey Nets were not as strong as the Cleveland Cavaliers in the rotation lineup, their second team was also shocked again at this time, and they also seemed very tough on the basketball court!
Even if they are not as strong as their strength, they are trying their best on the basketball court! Obviously, it may be that the Cleveland media's arrogant words angered the players of the entire New Jersey Nets team, so they are so striving for strength at this time!
The Cleveland Cavaliers did not gain the expected advantage after the start of the second quarter.
However, after all, the second team led by Dwight Howard still has an advantage in strength at this time, so even though the opponent's tenacity was unexpected again, the Cleveland Cavaliers quickly tied the score!
After all, the gap in strength can not be made up in a few simple words. This is also the thing that New Jersey Nets' head coach Avery Johnson was most worried at this time. When he saw Dwight Howard being sent to the Cleveland Cavaliers' head coach Byron Scott at the beginning of the second quarter, he felt his scalp numb.
And when he saw the team start the second quarter, even though the tenacious resistance was harmful to the opponent's equalization of the score, Avery Johnson could no longer bear it.
Immediately waved my hand and called Deron Williams, who was still sitting on the bench to rest. As the player who scored most of the team's score in the first quarter, Deron Williams could even be said to be the last straw for Avery Johnson to solve the stadium problem.
Although the second quarter had just started for more than a minute, Avery Johnson didn't want to wait for a quarter of an hour, so he let Deron Williams go on the court.
He doesn't want the advantage that the team has worked hard to build in the first quarter to disappear like this. Of course, he wants to win this game, and the best way to win is to keep controlling the situation on the basketball court! (To be continued...)
