183. Deterrence of the inside line

The Cavaliers' home game against the Pacers is not only the sixth- and seventh-place coaches in the Eastern Conference, but also a civil war in the Central Division

The 1:1 score between the two sides before this game made this game look like a close match, although Wu Dawei felt in his heart that the Cavaliers should be a stronger team than the Pacers, but Yiqiē still had to rely on the table on the court to speak.

At 7 p.m. local time, the competition officially kicked off at the Quick Loan Center.

This one is led by Danny. Granger's team is also a new youth team that has risen this season. While they can't match the Thunder in the West at the moment, the Pacers have their own strengths.

This team's impact on the interior is very strong, naturally thanks to their big center Roy who sits on the inside. Hibbert.

The starting lineups for both sides tonight, there are no changes on the Cavaliers' side. Although the team has already started to look for potential potential targets in the trade market, so far, nothing has been done. Naturally, head coach Byron. Scott can only use his current starting XI first.

On the Pacers' side, the interior is Roy. Hibbert & Troy. Murphy's partner, the third position is Danny, who will face Wu Dawei tonight. Granger, and the two guards are Brandon. Rush & Darren. Collison.

The average age of the Pacers' roster is not counting the veteran Troy who moved this summer. Murphy, then only 23 years old. Such a number is quite young in the current league, even the Thunder, who are also youth troops, are more than 23 years old.

Larry. The team that Bird has worked so hard to build has finally come to bear fruit this season. The outside world is very optimistic about this young and talented team, and feels that the Pacers will become a new force in the Eastern Conference like the Thunder in the Western Conference.

This can be seen from the opening jump balls of both sides, Andre. Vallejo in a conversation with Roy. In the scramble for Hibbert, he was at a disadvantage from the start. Hibbert was almost a head taller than him, and as soon as he reached out like a dragonfly, the ball became that of the visiting Pacers.

The Cavaliers' retreat across the board was very fast, and Darren. There's no way for Collison to launch a fast break. You can only dribble the ball past half court and start to organize a positional battle.

The Pacers have a huge advantage in positional battles because their Hibbert is like a needle on the inside. Roy. Hibbert's basketball skills are good, and although he doesn't always move as quickly, there is no doubt that Roy is not very fast. As long as Hibbert makes one stop on the inside, he will be the most important force to be reckoned with on the Pacers!

So when the Cavaliers were defending, they tried to shrink their defense to the inside in order to be able to contain Roy. Hibbert. After all, such a big center has a natural altitude advantage on the court, and if you let him play in shape, it will be far more terrifying than an outside superstar.

Shaquille. O'Neill is one of the best and most readily available examples. This big center, who is in a state of rage every day, has many records of historical firsts. Although Roy. Hibbert is nowhere near comparable to Shaquille. O'Neill's dominance at that time, but he was also beginning to emerge more or less.

The Cavaliers' inward shrinkage gave the Indiana more opportunities to shoot from distance. But fortunately, this team is not a projection team, they have a strong impact on the inside, and at the same time, they will lack the accuracy of the outside projection.

The best of both worlds isn't done by everyone, and not everyone is LeBron. James.

Darren. Collison holds the ball, and as a sophomore, he was a rookie who was impressed last season, but he was still an inexperienced rookie against Williams.

After half-time he didn't try to attack on his own, but handed the ball to Danny, the team's boss who was standing to his right. Granger.

Granger has the ability to play as a small forward in this era, with a combination of offense and defense, a combination of shooting and shooting, and an explosive body element. The only downside is that he's not good enough. He's a star small forward who can score 20 points per game.

But, that's all!

Granger faced Wu's defense and was hampered in his first attempt to attack. Wu didn't eat his moves at all, and the Cavaliers' shrinking defense made it difficult for Granger to find a breakthrough.

So in the end, he chose to use a high shot as his first offensive option, and the basketball went out of the basket. Although Wu Dawei did not cover this shot, he had already disturbed Granger's hand.

Vallejo got the rebound and the Cavaliers went on offense. Successful defense gave the Cavaliers a chance to get off to a good start. Williams decided to make his own after possession of the ball after half-court, and against Collison, who was a little shorter than him, Williams jumped up to shoot near mid-range.

It was almost exactly the same choice as Granger before him, and the result was exactly the same. The basketball is out of the basket. Roy. Hibbert was already stuck on the inside, his hands held high but he didn't catch the basketball that bounced off the basket.

The basketball landed a little more than the big center had expected, so he tried to move two steps out, and then the moment he was about to take off to the ball, Hibbert saw a figure flying beside him!

After the figure grabbed the ball, it jumped up again the moment it landed. Despite his height of 220, Hibbert can only sigh at this shot.

Once again, the basketball flew to the basket, and this time, the closeer distance increased the accuracy of the ball, and the basketball bounced into the net after hitting the rebound!

The Cavaliers got off to a good start.

Wu Dawei clenched his right fist, very satisfied with his action after rushing to grab the rebound this time.

0：2。

As he got better and better in the game, Wu Dawei's mentality began to change, and the focus slowly began to shift from personal numbers to team victories. Especially in recent times, due to the Cavaliers' weakness on the inside, assistant coach Wright. Tibbetts would always repeat one word to Wu Dawei in his ear, that is: rebounding.

The current situation of the Cavaliers is that there is a shortage of interior players, and Vallejo is a good enough interior player, and . Hickson, on the other hand, has a lot of potential. If the Cavaliers are still the same team that the outside world speculated about before the start of the season, then there is no doubt that these two interior lines are enough; But now, with the rise of Wu Dawei and the team's unexpected record, the Cavaliers will show their disadvantages on the inside while having the possibility of impacting the playoffs.

When you break the jar, you don't feel how lethal it is to be behind your opponent by more than ten rebounds per game; But if you try your best to get to the next level, you'll find that the rebounds that trail by more than a dozen points in each game will be a drag on your winning stride.

The Cavaliers got off to a good start, and Wu Dawei grabbed the offensive rebound and then hit the second offense, which made the Quick Loan Center cheer for the first time tonight.

The Pacers were quick to attack. Hibbert tried to get a position on the inside, but the Cavaliers' defensive focus tonight was on the big center, although he got stuck near the paint and got to Darren . Collison's pass.

But it was still difficult for Hibbert to hold the ball and play alone, because the first moment he received the basketball, Hibbert could feel that the defense was shrinking towards him. He found himself surrounded by people.

But Hibbert still chose to play alone with the ball, so the moment he dribbled, a Cavaliers player came up and attacked him. And at this time, Hibbert also showed his clever side, and he passed the ball out.

The Pacers players hit a two-point shot while unattended.

2：2。

The scariest thing about a center forward is not his strength on the inside, but how he has learned how to use his strengths to create opportunities. Undoubtedly, Hibbert is on such a path.

Such a promising and future center is still so young, and I can't help but envy Cavaliers' head coach Byron. Scott. Of course, Scott envied Hibbert on the Pacers' lineup; Pacers head coach Vogel is also envious of having David Wu under Scott.

Shortly after the Pacers equalized, Wu scored his fourth point of the game. After a block and dismantling, Wu Dawei picked up the basket on the inside.

Wu Dawei made a breakthrough on the offensive end at the beginning of the game, and at the same time, in the first matchup with Granger on the defensive end, Wu Dawei also successfully interfered with the opponent's shot. He continues his usual great form.

Compared to Wu Dawei's table in the first few minutes of the match, Danny. Granger undoubtedly looked very mediocre. Although the battle has only just begun, we cannot arbitrarily conclude that David Wu is not better than Granger.

But there is no doubt about one thing, that is, no coach would not want a player like Wu Dawei who is in great shape as soon as he comes on the field and is lethal at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.

And since Vogel joined the Pacers, he has discovered that Granger's ability as a team leader and his on-court performance are nowhere near the level he requires. That's one of the reasons why Vogel doesn't really like Granger, plus the team drafted Paul in the draft this year. George, a swingman with a high ceiling, made Vogel even less serious about Granger.

It's not that the manager doesn't feel like Granger can't feel it, and he understands his current situation. Especially in rookie Paul. With George playing well this season, Granger knew he had to show for it.

Tonight was a great opportunity. The No. 3 player in the opposing team is Wu Dawei, who is currently the favorite player in the league, and he has defeated James, Durant, and Anthony on the defensive end in the past games, if he can defeat such an opponent in this game.

So...... Granger doesn't have to think about it to know that it will be of great help to himself, both for the team and in public opinion.

Although this is obviously not an easy thing to complete, especially under the premise that Wu Dawei showed that he was in good shape at the beginning, but as mentioned earlier, the game has just begun! (To be continued.)
