633. Different expectations
"This is truly an amazing table! The Cleveland Cavaliers closed the gap to just 10 points at this point! ”
"Compared to when the game started in the second half, the situation for the Cleveland Cavaliers now seems to be slowly getting better!"
When the Cleveland Cavaliers narrowed the gap to the last 10 points, Charles was silent for too long in front of the courtside commentary bench. Barkley, at last, cheered.
Obviously, for Charles. In Barkley's case, it's because he sees hope for a comeback, which is why he's so excited at this point.
And Kenny, who had been swearing that the Cleveland Cavaliers would not be able to make a difference in this game. Smith, at this point, was silent.
Because obviously the situation of the game now is very different from the situation he faced before; The San Antonio Spurs still have a 10-point lead, but their prospects for this game are not as good as they were before.
The San Antonio Spurs are facing an unprecedented challenge in this game, and for the San Antonio Spurs players, they are desperate to change that situation.
In the previous game, they were chased by the Cleveland Cavaliers frantically, which can be described as unbearable, and the shape of the game has become very bad; But fortunately, for the San Antonio Spurs at this time, they still have a 10-point lead, and such a lead can still guarantee their lead in this game for the time being.
But first, they have to stop their slump in this game, otherwise, given the Cleveland Cavaliers' previous momentum. With a 10-point deficit, they will most likely chase back before the end of the game.
So at this point, for the San Antonio Spurs, although they were at the disadvantage in the previous game, they still have a better chance of winning tonight's game.
After all, a 10-point lead is not small, although in the previous game, the Cleveland Cavaliers caught up, but if they suddenly lose this rhythm and feeling after the timeout, then the San Antonio Spurs will definitely have a better chance of becoming the winner.
So at this time, in fact, no matter what, the shape shì is still biased towards the San Antonio Spurs who are playing away. Although the Cleveland Cavaliers had a good performance in the third quarter, who said that the San Antonio Spurs built up too much advantage in the first half of the game.
This advantage helped the San Antonio Spurs a lot at this time, so even after the start of the third quarter, although the Cleveland Cavaliers played well, the San Antonio Spurs still firmly dominated the leader.
For the Cleveland Cavaliers, if they want to be the winner in this game tonight and finally complete the comeback; Then they'll have to play a little bit better after the hiatus.
After all, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they are still 10 points behind the San Antonio Spurs on the road.
The difference of 10 points is not a big one. But it's definitely not small, so this timeout, although it was said that the San Antonio Spurs were forced to ask for a timeout, was for the Cleveland Cavaliers. They also know that the shape is not so optimistic.
So for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they still have a long way to go if they want to win the final game in this game.
All of the Cleveland Cavaliers players know this, so they won't be caught up by a few trailing scores. And at this time there is a feeling of complacency.
After all, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they know very well that they want to fill the hole they left in the first half of the game. Then they need to work harder.
Their stoppage of the San Antonio Spurs at this point gave them more confidence, and in the second half of the game, they believed that they could perform better in the rest of the game.
Of course, this is what the Cleveland Cavaliers players expect to see, after all, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they don't want to be stolen by their opponents on their home court.
After all, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, before the Finals begin, they hope they can do better in the Finals this season than in the Finals last season.
In the last Finals, they faced the San Antonio Spurs with a 4-1 result, with which they eliminated their opponents; Naturally, in this season's finals, they hope to achieve a better performance.
And if they lose their second home game, then it will be useless for the Cleveland Cavaliers to achieve such a better result.
So at this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers naturally hope that they can have a more perfect table in the next game after the suspension comes back.
And Wu Dawei is obviously the player who is most expected by the Cleveland people at this time, although the first half of the game is bad, but after the start of the second half of the game, his form gradually warmed up, and currently has 14 points plus 3 assists, which is an important reason why the Cleveland Cavaliers can catch up with the score at this time.
So at this time, people naturally hope that Wu Dawei can continue to be as crazy as before after returning from the suspension.
But for the Cleveland Cavaliers' rivals, the San Antonio Spurs, they wouldn't want to see such a scenario.
After all, for Popovich, he wants to win tonight's game smoothly, and now it is difficult to achieve it because of Wu Dawei's previous appearance.
So as the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers' opponent team, he naturally wouldn't want Wu Dawei to continue to be so crazy.
80-70, he looked up at the score on the big screen of the ceiling, such a gap is really a bit big with what Popovich thought before.
So at this time, Popovich naturally hopes that the team can play a better game after returning from the timeout.
That's what Popovich expects, and it won't be what the Cleveland people expect. So in the midst of such a conflicting philosophy, the game in the third quarter reopened after a timeout.
Both sides will be hoping to get the result they want and be satisfied with before the end of the third quarter.
However, when the game resumed after a timeout in the third quarter, it was not as expected.
At least it's very different from what they thought, and neither the Cleveland Cavaliers nor the San Antonio Spurs would be happy with such an outcome.
So at this point, both sides will definitely do their best in the game after the timeout, because whether it is the Cleveland Cavaliers or the San Antonio Spurs, they all want to have a very good performance at this time.
But after all, there will only be one winner in the game, so it doesn't matter if the Cleveland Cavaliers or the San Antonio Spurs. There will always be one of them who will be the lost party.
Therefore, in order to avoid becoming the losing side, the two teams will naturally do their best to avoid the unfortunate ending at this time.
However, after the third-quarter timeout, neither side was able to play as expected, and neither the Cleveland Cavaliers nor the San Antonio Spurs were able to play the offense they wanted.
In such a situation, neither the Cleveland Cavaliers nor the San Antonio Spurs will be satisfied with this.
However, at this point, no matter how dissatisfied the two sides were, the third quarter of the game ended in such a situation.
86 to 76. By the end of the third quarter, the score was 86-76, and the difference was still 10 points.
The margin hasn't changed from the previous timeout, although that's not what the Cleveland Cavaliers and San Antonio Spurs wanted.
But at least such a situation is something they can accept a little. So when both sides walked off the field, there was no particularly frustrated side.
Everyone was expressionless, because everyone knew that the final battle was going to wait until the final quarter of the game.
But it's the Cleveland Cavaliers or the San Antonio Spurs. I definitely don't want to be the ultimate loser in this game.
However, it is clear that at this time, for the San Antonio Spurs who are playing on the road, they do not need to worry about this aspect of things.
Because they had a double-digit lead in their hands before the start of the fourth quarter; As long as they can continue to play in the fourth quarter of the game as they were in the previous game. Then the San Antonio Spurs must have a much better chance of winning this game than the Cleveland Cavaliers playing at home.
So in fact, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they are facing a much tougher shape than the San Antonio Spurs at this time.
But in any case, after the start of the second half of the game, their table was indeed much better than the first half.
Especially as the core player of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Wu Dawei, his performance in the third quarter of the game is an important reason why the Cleveland Cavaliers were able to catch up with the score gap.
If it weren't for Wu's resurgence in the third quarter, the Cleveland Cavaliers might have been the losers in this game tonight.
So at this time, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, of course, they hope that Wu Dawei can continue to have a good individual performance in the fourth quarter of the game, like the third quarter of the game.
In the entire third quarter of the game, Wu Dawei alone contributed 16 points and 4 assists, and this is also Wu Dawei's personal number in this game so far.
Obviously, Wu Dawei's table in the third quarter of the game can be said to be extremely amazing, even compared with the table in the last game, there is not much difference between the table and the table in the last game.
It's just that the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are playing at home at this time, are too far behind by too many points, so that people pay more attention to the score gap between the two sides.
So at this time, people's feelings about Wu Dawei's 16 points are not as strong as in the previous game, after all, in the last game. After Wu Dawei finished the third quarter of the game, he was already crazy to score more than 50 points.
So at this point, the natural senses are very different. As for Wu Dawei, what he is most concerned about now is of course not the number of assists he gets; For Wu Dawei, what he is most concerned about now is how he can help his team in this game tonight and become the side that wins the game in this game tonight.
That's what Wu Dawei is looking forward to at this point, so he doesn't care how many points he's scored so far tonight.
Wu Dawei will also mind this, after all, he has already broken too many records this season. So Wu Dawei doesn't care if he wants to continue to break records.
For Wu, his only goal and hope now is for the team to lift the O'Brien Cup, which is ultimately a symbol of victory, this season.
And that's the hope of the entire Cleveland Cavaliers, who have been working so hard this season for these two weeks.
Naturally, they are unlikely to give up the game lightly at this time, because for the Cleveland Cavaliers, playing at home is very important for them.
There's nothing more important than that, so even though they're 10 points behind the San Antonio Spurs on the road, they're still confident about it.
After all, the number of points behind now is compared to the 17 points after the end of the first half. 10 is not a particularly large and hopeless number.
Naturally, at this point, the Cleveland Cavaliers must have been full of energy, especially after a very good game.
For the Cleveland Cavaliers. Now they have a good chance to catch up on the score, after all, they played a great game in the third quarter and really made the Cleveland Cavaliers panic their opponent San Antonio Spurs at this time.
This is a natural opportunity for the Cleveland Cavaliers, who hope to be in the next fourth quarter. Go ahead and play out of the third quarter of the game as good as the table xiàn comes.
That's the last thing the San Antonio Spurs want to see, but it's what the Cleveland Cavaliers want to do.
After all, the 10-point gap is not small, and the Cleveland Cavaliers certainly hope for it. Able to play crazy momentum at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and then make the opponent completely unparable, and then directly overtake the score.
This is of course extremely important for the Cleveland Cavaliers, who want to be able to play like this; And as their opponents, the San Antonio Spurs must be the last person they want to see at this time.
And when borrowing from the timeout, the San Antonio Spurs are also planning how to change their performance in the next fourth quarter of the game.
After all, for the San Antonio Spurs, after building such a huge lead in the first half of the game, they naturally don't want to be ruined by their poor performance in the second half.
They don't want to continue the poor performance they had in the third quarter, and for the San Antonio Spurs, they want to be able to play a good game.
Sweep away the gloom of their poor performance in the third quarter; For the next fourth quarter of the game, the San Antonio Spurs certainly have their own expectations.
They don't want to be the losers of this game, so they need to play better in the final quarter.
We must not be led by the Cleveland Cavaliers by the nose like we did in the third quarter. But at this time, for San Antonio Spurs head coach Popovich, it is obvious that the resurgence of the Cleveland Cavaliers' core player Wu Dawei in the third quarter of the game made him feel a little worried.
It wasn't an unexpected situation, but it was certainly not what Popovich wanted to see, so at this point, for Popovich, he wanted his team to play like they did in the first half of the game in the final quarter.
And if they can really play like that in the final quarter, then the San Antonio Spurs really have a chance to be the ultimate winner in this game tonight.
This is what the San Antonio people are looking forward to, but it will definitely not be the result that the Cleveland Cavaliers want to see, so at this time, whether it is the Cleveland Cavaliers or the San Antonio Spurs, it is very clear that the final game is about to begin tonight.
