Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Wu Dawei scored his eighth point of the game and at the same time, helped the team continue to build the lead. :

At 39:44, the 5-point margin was in Magic head coach Stan. It shouldn't have happened in Van Gundy's eyes. Because just now he was standing on the sidelines, when Wu Dawei rushed into the inside line to face Dwight. Howard's flanking strike, Stan. Van Gundy felt that the defense should be nine out of ten this time, but who would have thought that Wu Dawei would use such a way to score a crucial two points for the Cavaliers.

Scoring almost in the last second of the offensive time limit wasted the previous 23 seconds of hard work and defense, which is undoubtedly quite a blow to confidence.

Stan. Van Gundy had also planned for his team to catch up or even overtake the score the next day, and then play a little easier in the second half. While the Magic made a terrible three-point shot in the first half, shooting only 2-of-9, Kestan was a two-of-9 shot. Van Gundy believes a fifteen-minute break in midfield will bring his shooters back to their form on the outside.

As soon as the outside line is opened, it is supplemented by Dwight. Howard's containment on the inside, Stan. Van Gundy immediately felt optimistic about his team's prospects tonight. But apparently, this is still just Stan's name at this point. Van Gundy was wishful thinking, and his team's three-point shooting was still a 2-of-9 shooting at this point.

When Wu scored two points for the Cavaliers, the Magic's offense after the transition was a run from beyond the three-point line by Rashad Brown. Lewis's shot is done. Basketball deflects out of the basket on the inside line Dwight. Howard was replaced by Andre. Vallejo and J.J. Hickson are caught in the middle. Didn't grab the rebound.

That gave the Cavaliers the chance to extend their lead further, albeit at halftime. The Cavaliers also didn't score either. by Anthony. Parker's mid-range shot was also deflected off the basket, and in the absence of Chris. After Carman sits on the inside, although the more flexible J.J. Hickson can follow Dwight Howard to come out on defense, the Cavaliers do lack the offensive point on the offensive end.

But the reality is that it's so helpless, you can't ask for too much. For example, finding a wife who is like a flower and jade, and requires people to be extremely virtuous, extremely filial, and extremely ...... First of all, you have to be a rich and handsome.

Obviously, the Cavaliers are not a rich man. So Byron. Scott can only weigh one or the other.

Parker's missed rebound was picked up by Howard, and the Magic fought back extremely quickly. Almost instantly, Orlandos picked up the pace of the game. They used the fast break to score two points.

41:44。 The Cavaliers didn't slow down the pace after conceding the ball, and their backcourt serve was just as fast, with Wu Dawei throwing the ball directly into the paint zone after winning the ball in the front court.

J.J. Hickson's ability to run quickly at this time was evident, as he received a pass from Wu Dawei in the paint area, and then used a dunk after an aerial relay to maintain a five-point advantage for the Cavaliers.

In terms of timing, he didn't have time to defend at all, so he ran in front of Wu Dawei.

The acceleration of both sides during this period of time. It also made the time of the game pass extremely quickly, almost after a few rounds of rapid exchanges between the two sides, the second quarter ended in a hurry.

At 47:51, the moment the halftime whistle blew, the Cavaliers finally fixed their lead at four points. A Cavaliers perfectly acceptable range, in fact such a leading result. It also far exceeded the Cavaliers' expectations before the start of this game.

They thought that as long as they could draw with Orlando and enter the second half, it would be an acceptable result, but they didn't expect that the first half of tonight would be much smoother than expected.

It's not just that the three-point shot that the opponent relies on for survival has not been fully played, but he also has some fun on the offensive end.

Wu Dawei scored 2 points, 2 assists and 2 rebounds in this wave of attack. So. When halftime was over, Wu's count became 8 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks.

The number of each item is jù to see. Wu Dawei will satisfy the fans, and perhaps the only thing that will be criticized is that Wu Dawei did not steal in the first half today. It's not like a superstar who can steal nine times in the half of the All-Star Game.

However, the same zero steals in the first half can't help but make many people start to speculate and fantasize. Maybe Wu Dawei will have a steal in the second half, after all, the All-Star Game has just ended for only three days, and many things are still vivid.

Wu Dawei broke the steal record of the more than 30-year history of the Dusty Alliance, and naturally it is not something that people can forget and forget in an instant.

After all, Wu Da's record-breaking method was once considered arrogant by the people of the night.

At half-time, head coach Byron Brown. Scott praised the players for their performance in the first half of the game. Especially for the Magic's restrictions on outside the three-point line. In the half, a team that is extremely good at shooting three-pointers only made 9 shots from beyond the three-point line and hit just two shots!

Such a result for Byron. For Scott, it was a more acceptable result than having a four-point lead at halftime.

After all, it's well known that the Magic generally win games, and they don't have bad numbers outside the three-point line.

However, Scott did not plan to change the lineup in the second half, and he told Chris . Carman, who will still be the starting center for tonight's game in the second half. Obviously, Scott is still a little taboo about the current attacking power of the main lineup. Carman is an offensive powerhouse on the inside, and can pull Dwight more for his teammates on the offensive end. Howard's attention.

While his mobility is still a big issue, especially on the defensive end, if Howard continues to expand out for pick-and-rolls, then Carman will still struggle to keep up. However, Scott decided to be a little more bold after considering the Magic's appearance outside the three-point line in the first half.

And in the visiting locker room, it is naturally not as easy as the Cavaliers. A game of original Stan. Van Gundy thought it was an extremely easy game. It was so difficult after halftime that it was difficult for the head coach of the Magic team to accept.

He still stressed the importance of rebounding. and sue sù including Dwight. All the players, including Howard, have to work hard to grab more rebounds! Bring the rhythm back to your side and shoot the Clevelands from beyond the three-point line......

The three-point shot has always been Stan's. The offensive style of the Orlando Magic during the Van Gundy era, this big fat man was keen on three-pointers with his brother Jeff. Van Gundy's coaching styles are completely contrary to each other.

The atmosphere between the two teams at half-time was completely different, but for the second half, both sides still had the same goal. That is to win this game, after all, the 4-point point difference is not much at all, and there is still a chance for both teams.

Just play a good second half of the game. So who will die in the end, of course, is still unknown.

Compared to the Cleveland Cavaliers, who currently occupy the lead, the Orlando Magic, who are playing on the road, only had a 10-minute break in the locker room before rushing back to the court from the locker room. As the players began to warm up for the second half of the game, it was easy to see that almost all of the perimeter players were trying to get their hands outside the three-point line.

Compared to the "hard-working" Magic players, the Cavaliers players had almost a full fifteen minutes of rest. It's only long overdue from the players' tunnel. And then it was just a minute or two of warm-up workouts.

However, this does not mean that the Cavaliers do not pay as much attention to the second half of the game as Orlando, but compared to Orlando, they are not a team that relies on touch to win, so naturally there is no need to be in such a hurry as the Magic.

As long as the rhythm of the first half continues, the Cavaliers still have a very good chance of winning.

After a short warm-up session, the second half of the game resumed. Neither side made any changes to the starting line-up. This made the head coach of the Magic team, Stan. Van Gundy was a little surprised, he thought that Byron. Scott will bring J.J. Hickson to replace Chris Carman as the starting center in the second half.

Because in Stan. In Van Gundy's opinion, J.J. Hickson did a fantastic job in the first half. His range of movement is greater than Chris. Carman is a lot bigger, which allows him to come to the high post to help his teammates when Howard mentions a pick-and-roll in the high post. Don't let your teammates play one-two in the face of the opponent's pick-and-roll in the high post.

But Stan. Van Gundy quickly understood Byron. Why did Scott still insist on letting Chris. Kaman took the lead. Because Carman is one of the few active offensive points for the Cavaliers, and he is also the only player on the Cavaliers interior who can play back-to-back singles. And there's another reason why Scott dared to do it. It's just seeing the Magic's poor three-point shooting rate in the first half!

But for this, Stan. Van Gundy wanted to sneer. Because the head coach of the Magic team believes that his team will definitely regain the touch of being outside the three-point line in the second half.

Whether the Magic will be able to regain their touch from beyond the three-point line in the second half, at least for now, is unknown, as the first offense is in the hands of the Cavaliers playing at home after the start of the second half.

Ramon. Sessions quickly advanced the half court with the ball after receiving a teammate's baseline serve. Then he quickly passed the ball out, and the moment Wu Dawei received the ball outside the three-point line on his left side, he passed the ball in!

Chris. Carman stuck behind Dwight. Howard, he received the ball from Wu Dawei, and it looked like he wanted to single Howard with his back. At the same time, Wu Dawei, who finished passing the ball, started directly, and while running towards the bottom line, he bypassed Kaman's side.

Just then, Carman passed the ball. A back-to-back hit the ground, and Wu Dawei, who was cut in the air, received the ball as soon as he ran into the paint area, and then it was an easy dunk! The Cavaliers took Orlando by surprise.

At 47:53, the Cavaliers also got off to a good start in the second half.

That's Chris. Karman has an advantage over J.J. Hickson. As long as he's holding the ball near the paint area, Dwight. Howard had to pick up his spirits. Because when a big center who is 2.13 meters tall and weighs 120 kilograms has the ball on the inside, and he is averaging close to 18 points per game in his career, you can't turn a blind eye to such a danger.

And if J.J. Hickson was in the same position, Dwight Howard would obviously have a lot easier. Naturally, he also has more energy to observe his surroundings.

A low-post offensive point with the ball will always bring more and more efficient ways for the team to attack.

Conceding a goal at the beginning of the second half undoubtedly made Magic head coach Stan Brown. Van Gundy was in a hurry. But he can't do anything right now, because it's the Magic's turn to attack next.

Jamal. Nelson quickly advanced into the half, still making Dwight a good man. Howard mentions the high post to give him a cover. Although Nelson has never been a qualified point guard, he has played the No. 1 position for so many years, and he is still relatively clear about the situation on the court.

Chris. He was equally aware of Carman's characteristics and shortcomings, so when Nelson got the best of both worlds, he was able to learn from Dwight. Howard walked past him, and then he shot directly from outside the three-point line.

Chris. Carman was one step away from Nelson and prevented the little guard from breaking through himself, which gave Nelson a chance to shoot.

The Magic's point guard was far more decisive when shooting than when he passed, but Carman also saw Nelson's shot and rushed to pounce. Although the distance between the two had previously prevented Carman from covering the ball, his huge presence still had some influence on Nelson.

Coupled with the three-point shooting percentage of 1-of-4 in the first half, Nelson's shot turned into a "ding" almost in the next moment.

Wu Dawei grabbed the rebound! Bivins in height and weight. Wu Dawei, who was too good at Carter, easily grabbed the ball.

Byron. Scott swung his fist hard at this time, and he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Obviously, the Cavaliers head coach knows he's made the right bet, and the Magic still don't seem to have any sense on the outside.

With that, it's time for the Cavaliers to fight back.

Wu Dawei grabbed the rebound, and the Cavaliers advanced to the front court like a tide, and the Magic's retreat was certainly not slow. Jamal. After missing a three-pointer, Nelson cursed in frustration and stepped back with all his horsepower.

Wu Dawei ran directly from the middle of the court to the frontcourt, and on both sides of him, rushing towards his teammates and opponents. After Wu Dawei stepped into the three-point line of the Magic team, he passed the ball to Ramon in front of him. Sessions, Sessions faced Nelson, who relied on his height advantage in a fast march, directly strode past Nelson and then faced Howard's defense.

The league's best defender took the urge off Sessionston to attack the basket and he passed the ball back to Wu Dawei, who had already run to the free throw line, and then Wu Dawei continued to shoot forward!

When Wu Dawei rushed into the top of the paint arc, he was still facing Dwight. Howard's furious and hideous countenance. He looked at Wu Dawei's eyes as if to say, "Come on, Wu, fight to the death with Lao Tzu!" ”

But Wu Dawei didn't plan to go head-to-head with Howard in this offense, because the time for two consecutive impacts to the basket was enough for Chris. Carman ran from the back to the paint area of the front court.

Wu Dawei once again chose to pass the ball in the moment when he faced Howard's defense directly.

Chris. Carman soared into the air unhindered in the paint area, and then, with his hands on the basket!
