266. Everything is for the stars
The fourth quarter game between the New Jersey Nets' home game against the Cleveland Cavaliers was played again after two minutes of rest between the quarters. Compared to the third quarter game, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are currently in the advantageous side, made huge adjustments to the lineup.
Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard are both sitting off the court, while the current lineup of the Cleveland Cavaliers are inside players Andre Varacho and Hickson, the small forwards are Michael Beasley, and the two defenders are Anthony Parker and Kyrie Irving.
Irving faced Deron Williams in previous games, and it could almost be said that he was completely beaten by the opponent! Deron Williams scored 28 points on him, and his shooting percentage was surprisingly high, which even made Kyrie Irving feel the verge of collapse!
It is precisely because of this that Kyrie Irving was replaced by the team's head coach Byron Scott so early in the third quarter because his performance against Deron Williams was really unbearable...
That's why Byron Scott quickly replaced Kyrie Irving at this time, and at this time, Deron Williams was sitting off the court and resting, and maybe he wouldn't return to the basketball court so soon.
Their substitute guard Marshan Brooks is not a very outstanding player, so Byron Scott thinks that it can help Kyrie Irving return to the basketball court at this time, and help him regain a little confidence.
After the start of the fourth quarter, both sides still started to do it. For the Cleveland Cavaliers, the advantage of 4 points does not guarantee that they will definitely win the game, and on the other hand, the 4-point backwardness will not make the New Jersey Nets players give up like this.
So even though the fourth quarter was just beginning and both sides were on the second team, the battle on the basketball court was still sparkling!
Neither side would be willing to give up the game just like that, especially the New Jerseys, but at this time they are no longer the leading side. So of course the only thing they can do now is to try their best!
Kyrie Irving was humiliated by Deron Williams in the first three quarters, and the other Michael Beasley did not get much time to play before, so he wanted to use twelve points at this time!
Both of them played very hard at this time, and they were talented and could not match the substitutes of the New Jersey Nets. However, because the two of them were really not considered good in this game tonight, the game seemed so intense at this time.
However, the combination of Kyrie Irving and Michael Beasley still makes the Cleveland Cavaliers only look up to the New Jersey Nets in terms of talent. So in the absence of too many states, they can still play with their talent!
So after the start of the fourth quarter, although the game was still very anxious, the Cleveland Cavaliers were like the score at this time. Although it seemed that the two sides did not pull away, the Cavaliers still had some advantages.
It is this advantage that makes the New Jersey Nets coach Avery Johnson, who is standing on the sidelines, dare not sit down at all. He was Alexander in this game tonight. Before the game, the media's exaggeration of this game and the team's core Deron Williams's statement in front of the media made this game seem very important, and it has even surpassed the meaning of a regular season game.
So when the game was in the fourth quarter, when the New Jersey Nets, who played at home, changed from 4 points to 6 points in the score difference, Avery Johnson immediately replaced Deron Williams. At this time, Deron Williams and the two minutes of rest between the festival were only a few minutes of rest...
The player who scored for the Cleveland Cavaliers was Kyrie Irving, who was beaten by Deron Williams before, and Irving played his superb skills in this offense. While playing Mashan Brooks, he also successfully threw the ball into the basket!
So when the fourth quarter game only started two minutes, Avery Johnson replaced Deron Williams, Byron Scott did not immediately replace Kyrie Irving, who had just finished the goal.
Because doing this is obviously showing weakness, and it will definitely make Kyrie Irving's confidence that he just picked up fall to the bottom again!
So Byron Scott did not make any special adjustments to this, but he soon felt a little regretful about it. Because facing Kyrie Irving's defense, Deron Williams once again found the feeling of the first half, which is of course the best good news for the New Jersey Nets.
What can make the New Jerseys feel more happy at this time than the core players’ state recovery! And it is the last quarter of the game, which makes the New Jerseys feel the most excited.
What made the New Jerseys even more excited was that the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Byron Scott, did not defend Deron in the third quarter and Williams' excellent Wu Dawei was sent back to the basketball court.
Of course, Byron Scott also had his own considerations. As mentioned before, Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard had just made a comeback and the other was a big center. After they played a complete high-intensity twelve-minute game, Byron Scott still hoped to give them more rest.
And more importantly, although Deron Williams immediately scored a goal on Kyrie Irving's head as soon as he returned to the basketball court, the Cleveland Cavaliers also scored a goal when they turned around!
This is the most important thing!
Although Deron Williams seemed to have recovered his form as soon as he returned to the basketball court in the fourth quarter, the Cleveland Cavaliers were not caught up with the lead by him. The Cavaliers are currently doing a good job of maintaining the advantage on the offensive end, so Byron Scott decided to wait and see.
He hopes that the team can continue to maintain the next game, and also hopes to gain more rest for Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard. This game is equally important to him, but Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard are the most important treasures of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
But reality always has a little deviation from fantasy, and New Jersey Nets head coach Avery Johnson can be said to have the deepest experience in this game tonight!
Because only after the second quarter started, the process of the game has never been what he imagined, and has always deviated from the track he imagined...
So when Deron Williams returned to the basketball court and became increasingly re-stated under Byron Scott's "letting go" situation, the New Jersey fans on the sidelines also felt more and more excited!
Because this is the fourth quarter, not the first quarter or the second quarter, the result of this quarter will ultimately determine the final trend and result of the game. So no matter how bad the New Jersey Nets play in the third quarter, Deron Williams' performance and performance in the third quarter are so disappointing. But as long as they can re-produce their previous explosive performance in the fourth quarter, it is not completely impossible for the New Jersey Nets to win this game at home!
After playing for four minutes in the fourth quarter, the New Jersey Nets were already close to 88:87 under the leadership of Deron Williams, leaving only the last point gap, and this situation has become unoptimistic.
Although Michael Beasley and Kyrie Irving are both good scoring players, they are not in very good shape in this game. Naturally, they can't compete with Deron Williams, who is in a state that is in a very good shape when fighting for firepower!
Byron Scott's previous estimate was wrong, so when he saw that the score difference was narrowed to the last point, he quickly waved his hand to replace Dwight Howard on the court.
He didn't plan to replace Wu Dawei immediately. After all, Wu Dawei had played for nearly 30 minutes in the third quarter. Byron Scott did not want to overdraw him, so at this time, he replaced Dwight Howard to increase the team's inside defense and offense, and to fight Deron Williams. At the same time, he also rearranged the tactics to let the players attack Deron Williams.
After all, tonight, except Deron Williams, the performance of others in the New Jersey Nets is very unbearable, so at this point, the Cleveland Cavaliers can be taught a little...
