270. Winning streak
The Cleveland Cavaliers finally walked out of New Jersey smoothly and completely. Although the game was quite twists and turns, it was the most important thing for them to achieve a good result!
After all, their lineup is complete now, and what they need most is to win one after another to dilute the depression they encountered in most of the previous half of the season. The Cleveland Cavaliers played in the first half of the season and were always difficult to achieve a wave of winning streak. Now, of course, they hope to achieve such a wave of winning streak to dilute their depression before this. The team needs a wave of winning streak!
Now, the Cleveland Cavaliers are indeed very inspiring after Wu Dawei's comeback. After defeating the New Jersey Nets, they have already achieved a four-game winning streak. This is only one game left to their longest winning streak in the season. They only need to continue to win one game in the next game, and the Cleveland Cavaliers will be able to tie their longest winning streak record this season!
For the Cleveland Cavaliers, who cannot even achieve a 50% winning rate in the first half of the season, if they can win another game in the next game, the Cleveland Cavaliers will not only be able to tie their own record of the longest winning streak this season, but also will be able to achieve a record of 50% for the first time this season!
This is definitely great news for the Cleveland Cavaliers, who have suffered so much trouble this season! Because it at least proves that they are on the right path. Since Wu Dawei's comeback, they have won three consecutive victories, which also ensures that the Cleveland Cavaliers have been extremely high in their morale in recent times!
"Since Wu Dawei's comeback, the Cleveland Cavaliers have achieved a three-game winning streak, and they won a game before the All-Star Game. After defeating the New Jersey Nets away last night, the Cleveland Cavaliers have achieved a four-game winning streak! Although such a result is nothing in the entire league. For the Cleveland Cavaliers, this is already very close to their longest winning streak record this season!"
After the Cleveland Cavaliers' away game against the New Jersey Nets, Brian Windhorst, a reporter who followed the Cleveland Cavaliers to New Jersey, immediately expressed his views on the current prospects of the Cleveland Cavaliers in his "Cleveland Honesty Businessman".
Of course, it is very optimistic. After all, the Cleveland Cavaliers' current performance is very eye-catching, and the team's performance has been even higher since Wu Dawei's comeback!
After Wu Dawei's comeback, the center of the Cleveland Cavaliers began to quickly move over Wu Dawei, and Wu Dawei, who just made a comeback, naturally did not disappoint Cleveland fans and senior coaches.
In the three games since his comeback, Wu Dawei averaged 34 minutes per game and contributed 25.6 points, 9 rebounds and 9.6 assists to the Cleveland Cavaliers. At the same time, Wu Dawei averaged 4 blocks and 2.6 steals per game to the Cleveland Cavaliers!
Such performance is absolutely impeccable for a player who has just made a comeback. Wu Dawei's performance since his comeback can even be said to have made the Clevelanders feel very happy!
Because they did not expect that Wu Dawei could perform such an outstanding performance immediately after he walked onto the basketball court. In the last three games, the Cleveland Cavaliers have relied on Wu Dawei's outstanding performance that they finally achieved a good momentum of four consecutive victories in the recent three games!
Of course, the efforts and contributions of other Cleveland Cavaliers players are indispensable. Speaking of this, the Cleveland Cavaliers did not encounter too many troubles and problems in running-in after Wu Dawei's comeback. Everyone can basically perform their own duties and play their own positions and jobs. In addition to the team's original outside star, Kyrie Irving, the starting point guard of the Eastern Conference All-Star team this season!
In the three games after Wu Dawei's comeback, Kyrie Irving's performance and data were down sharply! This is something that countless people see, but there are still many people who can imagine before Wu Dawei's comeback.
After all, there is only one ball on the basketball court. As the most important player of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Wu Dawei will naturally compress the ball rights and interests of Kyrie Irving, who is on the outside, and there is no doubt about this!
Kyrie Irving's performance is so bad now, of course, it is not all blamed on Wu Dawei. There are some reasons for him, such as in the game against the New Jersey Nets. If it weren't for Wu Dawei's rescue, the Cleveland Cavaliers would have probably lost the game.
Because Kyrie Irving let Deron Williams get too many points above his head. If it weren't for his defense that he could not have successfully curbed Deron Williams' performance, the Cleveland Cavaliers would not have played so hard in this game.
Even after Wu Dawei got the quasi-triple double again, he still almost lost the game because Deron Williams completed the rampage from the beginning under Kyrie Irving's defense!
Of course, Kyrie Irving has to take some responsibility. Moreover, he is not only unable to defend Deron Williams' offense in the game against the New Jersey Nets. At the same time, his performance in the game is also terrible.
Because his condition was a little bad throughout the game, the team's head coach Byron Scott only allowed him to play for 26 minutes. In these 26 minutes, Kyrie Irving only got 8 points and 4 assists!
His shooting percentage is 3 of 11 shots, which can be said to be completely stateless. Not only is it very different from his average game data, but it also makes people unable to see the starting lineup of an East District All-Star team!
So in terms of post-match rating, Kyrie Irving is the player with the lowest score among the starters of the Cleveland Cavaliers, and of course the person with the highest score was Wu Dawei. Then Dwight Howard, who scored 21 points and 12 rebounds in this game!
It was these two players' wonderful performance on the basketball court that ensured that the Cleveland Cavaliers finally won the game, and after the start of the second half of the season, they still maintained an unbeaten record.
After this game, the Cleveland Cavaliers also achieved a record of 26 wins and 27 losses, taking the opportunity to narrow the gap with the New Jersey Nets. At present, they only won two games less than the opponent while playing two games less. In this way, as long as they win a complete record in the next two games, the Cleveland Cavaliers can jump from seventh place in the Eastern Conference to sixth place with the advantage of the record of the match between the two sides!
This is undoubtedly good news for the Cleveland Cavaliers, but after the start of the second half of the season, with Wu Dawei's comeback, the good news for the Cleveland Cavaliers is not just that.
Two days after the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the New Jersey Nets away, the league announced their Player of the Week in the first week of the second half of the season! In the Western Conference, Kevin Durant, the leading star of the Oklahoma City Thunder, successfully won the West Player of the Week in the first week of the second half of the season.
In the Eastern Conference, the person who was elected was Wu Dawei, who had just made three games back! The Cleveland Cavaliers have not been elected as the Best of the Week for a long time this season, and even the Cleveland Cavaliers have not been on the MVP list for a long time. This is a very different story from last season...
Fortunately, it seems that after Wu Dawei made a comeback, everything about the Cleveland Cavaliers was getting better, which is very good news for them. Although they are just a small player of the week, it can be regarded as a long drought and a sweet rain for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
This is still a great thing for them, at least it can better motivate them to continue moving forward in the next game!
After defeating the New Jersey Nets, the entire Cleveland Cavaliers took the turn to Cleveland. For them, there is still some time before the next game, so they can take the opportunity to take a good rest.
After the rest, the Cleveland Cavaliers will start to try to hit their longest winning streak this season again. They are now only a short distance from a five-game winning streak. If they want to quickly catch up with the New Jersey Nets, which are ahead of them, then they still have to win the game in the next two games!
This means that they not only have to once again hit their longest winning streak of the season, but also break this record. If they want to surpass the New Jersey Nets, they must achieve at least six consecutive victories in a long time!
This is of course a challenge for the Cleveland Cavaliers, but judging from their current state, not many people are not optimistic about them. After Wu Dawei's comeback, the entire team is slowly getting on the right track!
After Wu Dawei's comeback, no one will think that the Cleveland Cavaliers are just a team ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference! (To be continued...)
Chapter completed!
