263. Equalize
Wu Dawei and Delong Williams faced each other again, and on the defensive end. Before, Wu Dawei successfully defended Delong Williams' offense, forcing him to finally choose to pass. Although Joe Johnson scored this goal for the New Jersey Nets, this could not cover up the disadvantages and disadvantages of Delong Williams's match against Dawei Wu before.
And this time, Delon Williams met Wu Dawei again. Obviously, after seeing his starting defender Kyrie Irving being beaten by Delon Williams for most of the game, he resolutely wanted to use Dawei Wu to be responsible for defending Delon Williams.
Judging from the first confrontation between the two, Wu Dawei certainly had the upper hand. He didn't even have a single shot to Delong Williams, which forced him to pass a pass similar to a bomb ball. If Joe Johnson hadn't been lucky, the score between the two sides would have been almost equalized!
So this time, the pressure on Deron Williams was still extremely huge. Deron Williams was not 100% sure about the next attack.
However, facing Wu Dawei's defense, Delong Williams knew that even though he didn't have much confidence in his heart, he had to bite the bullet and meet him!
He chose to let his teammates support him. Brooke Lopez and Humphries rushed to the high post together to make a high double pick-and-roll outside the three-point line.
Deron Williams of course also hopes to use the power of his teammates to get rid of Wu Dawei's defense at this time. When Humphries and Brooke Lopez's pick-and-roll were in place, Deron Williams launched an attack with a bold move!
He started offense from a high position and then took the paint area guarded by Dwight Howard! Although Dron Williams' tonnage is not small, his speed is still very rapid!
In almost a blink of an eye, Deron Williams rushed into the three-point line from outside the three-point line. Although there was no defender in front of him at this time, Deron Williams still chose to continue to attack the inside, even though the inside was Dwight Howard, the inside core of the Cleveland Cavaliers!
Because Brooke Lopez is also in the inside at this time. If Dwight Howard wants to come up to make up for his defense, then Dron Williams can choose to allocate the ball to Brooke Lopez who was released!
In the situation of 2-to-1, no matter how you choose, Delone Williams is confident. So he rushed in without hesitation, while Dwight Howard made Delone Williams feel unexpectedly that he did not choose to go up to defend him, but let Delone Williams rush into the paint area. Dwight Howard still chose to watch his defender Brooke Lopez and did not come up to help Wu Dawei wipe his butt.
This situation of course made Deron Williams feel happy, because in this way, he could rush into the air in the paint area without restraint and throw the ball into the sky in the next second. He did not choose to dunk because he was afraid that it would annoy Dwight Howard, so he chose to use a basket to complete the attack!
But just as Deron Williams threw the ball in his hand into the basket in the sky, he suddenly felt a huge pressure coming from behind! Suddenly, the dark clouds on his head made Deron Williams frightened, and he quickly guessed something that was happening or what was about to happen.
So even though there was no physical contact at this time, Deron Williams flew into the sky and screamed suddenly! He screamed loudly throughout the audience, but the referee did not blew the whistle in his mouth at this time. Then what followed was the ball that had just been thrown into the sky by Deron Williams, and was directly slapped out by the figure flying from Deron Williams!
An unexpected block from behind surprised everyone, including the person involved Deron Williams. He did not expect that Wu Dawei could still catch up after being blocked by Brooke Lopez and Humphries!
And the moment he threw the ball out, he suffocated it directly!
Although this block did not cause the Cleveland Cavaliers to counterattack. The ball was slapped out of the field, the New Jersey Nets had only the last 2 seconds left!
This almost means the New Jersey Nets' failure in this offense, because two seconds is not enough to make a complete attack. Although there are many final-minute kills in the NBA league, those kills are basically 1, 2 seconds or even 1 second.
But after all, such a success rate is minimal. Not every time can be hit. This result also made Avery Johnson, the head coach of the New Jersey Nets standing on the sidelines, feel extremely disappointed!
Because if the team cannot win this offense, it means that they have no way out in the next round of defense. If they cannot score in this offense and cannot successfully defend the opponent's offense on the next round of defense, then the New Jersey Nets will be caught up by the opponent!
By that time, the New Jersey Nets had no advantage at all. For them, this was of course unbearable, so even if the New Jersey Nets were left with only two seconds of offense at this time, all the New Jersey people still had hope for this offense.
Avery Johnson stood on the sidelines and shouted the name of Gerald Wallace who was preparing to serve, and then pointed at Joe Johnson on the stadium. Obviously, Joe Johnson's goal at the last minute was Avery Johnson's last hope. He hoped that Joe Johnson could still copy the magical scene before.
Gerald Wallace also smoothly sent the ball from outside the boundary to Joe Johnson who had gone through several pick-and-rolls. Johnson received the ball one step outside the three-point line. Due to the tight time, he did not make any moves or other moves, so he directly chose to take action.
A turn and shot from outside the three-point line, and under the heavy siege of the Cleveland Cavaliers, it is easy to imagine how difficult it is to hit the basket.
So the ball was not shot in naturally, but directly hit the basket, and then it was won by Cleveland Cavaliers center Dwight Howard!
64:66!
This time, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who defended the New Jersey Nets' attack again, have a real chance to equalize the score! It is also their best opportunity to equalize the score in this game.
However, many people have already expected such a situation. Because after the start of the second half, the Cleveland Cavaliers played a much better state than the first half. It is precisely because of this that they were able to continue to catch up with the score after the start of the second half!
Currently, the score difference is only the last two points left, and the Cleveland Cavaliers have the right to attack. They have ushered in the best opportunity. At the same time, the New Jersey fans in the Continental Aviation Center are also much more nervous than before.
They prayed in their hearts that the Cleveland Cavaliers' offense could not be completed, allowing the New Jersey Nets to continue to maintain the lead of these two points. At the same time, they continued to pray that the Cleveland Cavaliers would not hand the ball to Wu Dawei in this offense.
Because the fans of the New Jersey Nets have already seen it clearly in the previous games. In the Cleveland Cavaliers' lineup, Wu Dawei is the number one problem that the New Jersey Nets cannot solve.
But obviously this idea is unrealistic. After Chauncey Billups brought the ball through the half of the game, he once again handed the ball to Wu Dawei. Wu Dawei took the initiative to mention the high position. After all, this can be said to be a key point in this game, so as a core player of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Wu Dawei naturally had to take the initiative to stand up and take responsibility at this time.
He held the ball at a high position, and Gerald Wallace couldn't wait to catch up. He was also very nervous about Wu Dawei who held the ball, because from the beginning of this game until now, Gerald Wallace had almost never successfully defended Wu Dawei's offense.
Whether he chose to shoot himself or pass the ball to his teammates after breaking through, Gerald Wallace was powerless to do anything about Wu Dawei. The result of his final defense against Wu Dawei was to watch Wu Dawei make various offensive choices in front of him...
So even though it was only the third quarter of the game, Gerald Wallace felt very frustrated and depressed when defending Wu Dawei...
He had almost never defended Wu Dawei in his previous defense, and this time, it was another defense that was much more critical than the previous few times. If he still couldn't defend Wu Dawei, it means that the New Jersey Nets would really be equalized by the opponent after leading the game for the halftime.
If this equalization really happens, no one will know what will happen next!
This time the Cleveland Cavaliers' offense is extremely important, so in this attack, Chauncey Billups chose to run to the wing three-point line again to ambush; while the team's shooting guard Danny Green was ambushing outside the three-point line on the other side!
Dwight Howard, another core of the Cleveland Cavaliers, came to the high position alone at this time to prepare to make a high pick-and-roll for Wu Dawei. The Cleveland Cavaliers' dual cores cooperated at this time, of course, to help the team play the most efficient and stable offense.
After all, they finally waited for this opportunity, so at this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers were certainly determined to win this offense, so of course they had to use the most reliable method.
But similarly, the New Jersey Nets will certainly attach great importance to this defense. After seeing Dwight Howard mentioning the high position, they rushed up. He wanted to support Gerald Wallace Wallace when defending Wu Dawei, and it was almost impossible to gain the upper hand. If he had to play one or two at the high position, he would definitely not be able to bear it as isolated.
So at this time, Brooke Lopez, of course, has to go up to support his teammates. In fact, Wu Dawei is not afraid of Brooke Lopez, a tall man. When Dwight Howard made a pick-and-roll for himself at a high position, Wu Dawei immediately tried to get rid of Gerald Wallace with the help of the pick-and-roll.
Although Dwight Howard's huge body did not completely block Gerald Wallace at this time, it also delayed his pace of catching up with Wu Dawei. In this way, Wu Dawei naturally found space.
If Wu Dawei, who has already scored 20 points in this game tonight, finds space, what consequences will it bring? The New Jersey people have experienced countless times!
So at this time, Brooke Lopez dared not let Wu Dawei find such a space. The moment he saw Gerald Wallace being blocked, Brooke Lopez hurriedly tried to stop Wu Dawei's pace.
At the same time, Dwight Howard, who had blocked Gerald Wallace before, turned around and ran in quickly over the inside line. Although his tonnage is large, in fact, Dwight Howard is a player of the same type as Wu Dawei. They all have a large tonnage in their own position, but at the same time his movement speed is very fast.
After being blocked by Dwight Howard, Gerald Wallace was determined to get rid of Howard's pick-and-roll pursuit of Wu Dawei. At this time, Howard became a guy who no one paid attention to.
At this time, Wu Dawei directly chose to throw the ball into the paint area. When all the New Jersey people's eyes shifted with the ball, they found that a huge figure had already taken off in their paint area!
Dwight Howard received the ball with both hands in the air, and there was no player from the New Jersey basketball team beside him! (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
