80. The situation is scorching
"A wonderful streak of blocks! Wu Dawei continued to perform his all-powerful expression on the defensive end! Magnusson, who was sitting on the sidelines, screamed "shyly" like a little girl.
And around him are Clevelands who have fallen into madness.
Wu Dawei once again gave a wonderful table to the fans at the beginning of the game. Time and time again on the defensive end, he is breathtaking, but it seems like it never ends.
The excellent defense led the Cavaliers' counterattack, so the Clevelands didn't stop screaming because they saw the Cavaliers get the ball and then rush to the Celtics' half.
Anthony Parker scored with a brilliant dunk to get a piece of the cheers.
As a result, the Cavaliers are only 2 points behind.
48:46。
Again, the script is the same as the first half, the Cavaliers seem to get a good start at the beginning, but then there will be worries, but what about the end?
Although some of the fans who came to the scene did not like Wu Dawei, it did not mean that they would hate the Cleveland Cavaliers. After all, most of the people who were able to come to the scene were locals, so who wouldn't want the Cavaliers to win this game?
Wu Dawei contributed a brilliant defense, and he set off the atmosphere in the arena with two consecutive blocks, but the Celtics did not seem to be affected. Just like at the beginning of the first half, this team is showing its old and tough side at this point.
They were unmoved by the momentum of the enemy's rise. Racho Rondo played well past the half, and they didn't rush to attack, as if trying to control the tempo in their familiar positional battles.
As a real defensive powerhouse, and the star players on the team are relatively old, the Celtics always like to slow down the tempo.
After half time, Racho Rondo deliberately glanced at Wu Dawei's position at this time. Paul Pearce brought Wu to the bottom corner of the ball before Rondo began to organise the attack.
The basketball passed a few hands between the five Celtics players and ended up in the hands of Kevin Garnett on the inside. KG sat on his back to beat Antoine Jamison, with a height advantage and an extraordinarily long reach, and then Garnett looked confident.
His shoulder feint, and while he didn't fool Jamison this time, his turnaround jumper dodged Jamison's block and went into the net.
50:46。
The Celtics still hold a four-point lead. It's certainly not the Cleveland people want to play, and the best way to win the game is to let the pace of the game be in your hands.
But at this time, the slow game is clearly not what the Clevelands want.
So after Garnett scored, Vallejo quickly sent a baseline shot.
Maurice Williams' running with the ball finally made the old guys of the Green Shirts run as well.
Williams made a quick recommendation and drilled inside, with Racho Rondo being the closest defender to him. The aging O'Neal was just crossing the midfield line at this time, so when Williams passed the ball to Vallejo, who was following up next to him, the Celtics' only big man on the inside at this time, Kevin Garnett, hurriedly stepped up to the defense.
That way, Jamison is empty.
However, Vallejo didn't go hard, he flicked his right hand horizontally, and Wu Dawei got the basketball in the mid-range position of the baseline. He didn't pass it to Jamison because he saw Paul Pierce rushing in to make a move.
Wu Dawei did not rush inside, because after seeing both Vallejo and Williams rushing in, he believed that it would attract the vast majority of the opponent's defense, so Wu Dawei roamed on the outside, hoping to get a chance. …,
The moment the basketball was held by Wu Dawei, the Chinese striker jumped up.
He made a shooting stance in the air and seemed to want to end the round with a mid-range shot.
"Oh, NO!"
But there was a subtle hint of chagrin in the quick loan center, because the Cavaliers' hand in the first half really frightened their fans. Seeing Wu Dawei shoot in the middle distance, Cleveland people thought that it was better to be the inside.
Even if you don't score points, you might be able to cheat a foul. After all, this is a quick loan center, and the referee will always be biased.
But Wu Dawei doesn't have such a fluke mentality, after all, at this time, the mid-range shot can make him more calm, and if he rushes into the inside, he may have to face the joint blocking of Garnett and Paul Pearce.
Scoring only two points in the first half was one of the reasons why the Clevelands had no confidence in Wu Dawei's mid-range shooting at this time.
But Wu Dawei still threw the basketball out, because he had no choice, could he pass the basketball out now because he had a bad hand in the face of such a good big space?
What's more, Wu Dawei is still quite confident in his shooting, he believes that even if he misses N shots before, he will throw that damn ball in the next time! Listening to this, why is it so much like the self-redemption of those "cancers"......
The basketball left Wu Dawei's palm, and Paul Pearce was already out of control, so he could only raise his head and look up at the sky.
The basketball swiped over his head, and when he was about to shout to his teammates to grab the rebound, there was already a "whoosh" in his ears.
Ball in! Cheers.
50:48。 Once again, the Cavaliers clenched on to the point difference.
There is no doubt that it will be a tough game. The difference between the two teams in the third quarter was always maintained between two points, and neither could pull the other apart, as if there was some kind of tacit agreement.
This continued until the fourth quarter. While the Celtics seem to have been in control of the game since the first quarter, the Clevelands aren't content to be beaten up, and they've been in good form lately, so they're all looking to take advantage of this opportunity to establish themselves in the top eight in the Eastern Conference.
The real test of the season is after the All-Star break, when all the teams in the league make a last-ditch effort for their remaining 30 games. So, if they can win a few more games before the All-Star break begins, it will be beneficial for the Cavaliers.
The missed shooting touch in the first half that was regained in the third quarter is one of the reasons why the Cavaliers have been able to keep biting the score.
In the rotation between the third and fourth quarters, the Cavaliers' bench players did a good job of maintaining the status quo. At 75:72, with six minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers trailed by just three points.
At this point, Byron Scott and Doug Rivers are slowly starting to bring their main players back on the pitch, and it's clear that both managers are going to make their final push for the game.
