186. Puzzle

Wu Dawei helped the team reverse the situation on the court in an instant after he came on the field, and as the outside world praised him more and more, Wu Dawei seems to have more and more ability to influence the game, which is commonly known as dominance, although perhaps using this word in Wu Dawei's body now will make many people feel ashamed.

There is no doubt that Wu Dawei does do this a lot in competitions. This is also a headache for Pacers coach Vogel at the moment, and the pre-game study of Wu Dawei does not seem to have even a slight effect in the game.

That forced Vogel to switch to Danny after the Cavaliers had another offensive end. Granger, let him replace Paul. George. Although Granger also did not gain an advantage in the first quarter of the contest with Wu Dawei, at least Granger's mental quality and technical maturity were much better than George's.

As the boss of the team, Granger is clearly not Paul when it comes to fighting pressure, at least in terms of pressure. George, a first-year rookie, can compare to that.

Although Wu Dawei has never said to the outside world that he is the boss of this new cavaliers, there is no doubt that such a name has gradually been recognized by people in their hearts. Because as long as you have watched the Cavaliers since the beginning of the season, you can feel that the Cavaliers are playing around Wu Dawei.

He is more involved in the team's offense, and the cooperation with the guard in the high post and the cooperation with the interior player in the low post has slowly become a more important offensive tactic for the Cavaliers. Even if offense is still not Wu Dawei's forte, Scott still puts many resources in the team on Wu Dawei as always; Not to mention on the defensive end, as the Cavaliers' defensive arrow-type figure, Wu Dawei has the heaviest defensive task on his shoulders every game.

Just like now, when Granger is back in the field, the defense he encounters on the offensive end must be Wu Dawei standing in front of him.

For Granger's defense, Wu Dawei is not too daring to defend Paul like before. George was so aggressive and gave him too much space. Regardless of whether he had the upper hand in the first quarter, Granger's strength as a star should not be underestimated.

Granger asked his interior teammates for a pick-and-roll, and the forward players have always liked to do pick-and-rolls in the high post because there is a huge space that allows the ball carrier to have more options after the pick-and-roll.

Suddenly, passing or throwing, the huge space allows it to choose calmly. But in the face of Wu Dawei's defense, blocking and dismantling sometimes does not play a very good role. Wu Dawei basically will not choose to change the defense when defending the block, unless the quality of the blockade is extremely high, but this time it obviously did not reach such a height.

Wu Dawei bypassed the pick-and-roll player and still followed Granger, although he followed, the block-and-roll still had some impact on Wu's defense. The pick-and-roll allowed Wu to fall a little behind Granger.

Although Wu's clever defensive reaction prevented Granger from finding any good opportunities after the pick-and-roll, the slightly behind position still let Granger know that he had some advantages.

So after blocking and dismantling, Granger chose to break through without hesitation when he didn't find a suitable shooting opportunity! Relying on the position advantage that was a little ahead of Wu Dawei, Granger accelerated and rushed into the inside.

Then he chose to use a low-handed layup to dodge Wu Dawei's block, and the basketball bumped on the basket for a while, but it finally went into the basket.

33：37。

Granger helped the team break a scoring drought in the last few minutes, but the Indiana's crisis isn't over there, and they need to face the Cleveland's offense in the next 24 seconds.

Wu Dawei has been in great form on both ends of the floor tonight, scoring 10 points and registering one block and two steals, as well as four rebounds and two assists. Now the second quarter is only five minutes into play.

Although Wu Dawei hasn't had too many explosive performances this season, he has been steadily contributing close to 20+10 numbers, which is still very scary. He averaged 18 points, 10 rebounds, three blocks and 2.7 steals per game, in addition to four assists. Wu Dawei has almost done as much as he can do at the small forward position.

He tirelessly did what was perhaps the least willing of any player in the league on the defensive end, facing the indiscriminate bombardment of the most attacking players in the phalanx throughout the game, but he still had a very good appearance. In the block, steal and quick defense on the defensive end, Wu Dawei can make people constantly high even on the defensive end.

The human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant, and the expectations of the person, like his ambition, will constantly change with the actual situation. If you get off to a good start, there will be people who expect you to be able to perform better.

That's the case with Cleveland fans today, who want to see David Wu ravage the best players on the defensive end of the game every game, and at the same time, they also want David Wu to not only be unbeatable on the defensive end, but also on the offensive end.

After the switch between attack and defense, Wu Dawei won the ball in the front court, and he relied on his skillful cooperation with Sessions to get a block and get a chance to shoot in the high post. When Wu Dawei received the ball, Granger was still struggling towards him, and Wu Dawei had already raised his hand to shoot.

The basketball drilled into the net, and the splashed net flowers were once again stretched to a gap of 6 points. The Indiana's disappointment was palpable, they were the lagging side and naturally didn't like to deal with the Cavaliers.

What they need is an attacking play and a successful defence that will be their priority at the moment. On the road, if you are in a situation of falling behind all the time, it is extremely disadvantageous for the team in any case.

But in the next few offensive and defensive rounds between the two sides, the Pacers couldn't do it. Granger's first offense after coming on the court broke through Wu Dawei's defensive layup, which seemed to be a good sign; But in the next attack, he was hindered. He still hoped to score points for the team with a breakthrough after a block, but when he rushed into the inside, Wu Dawei stabbed the ball from behind.

The next drama is naturally the Cavaliers' best defensive counterattack, although the Cavaliers have broken the doubts of the outside world this season, they have not plummeted to become the worst team in the league. But their current record is only in the middle of the league, but they are the first in the league in terms of scoring after taking advantage of opponents' mistakes!

From this side, you can see how good the Cavaliers are in this regard. Especially because of Wu Dawei's bug-like storage on the defensive end, the Cavaliers are far ahead in this number.

After a few offensive and defensive rounds, the Pacers did not erase the margin as they had imagined, but rather fell behind by more points.

At 36:44, the second quarter had been played for more than 8 minutes, and both sides had re-deployed their main players. But obviously the Cavaliers are the more relaxed side now, and maintaining such a point difference is undoubtedly a huge advantage for them to enter the second half of the game; It's definitely something the Pacers don't want to see.

So they can only fight back, and even if they can't take the lead in the second half, at least they have to be on the same starting line, which is what the Indiana thinks at this moment.

Coach Vogel emphasised this during the previous timeout. He wants the team to shift the focus of their attacks to the interior. Hibbert became the main point of attack for the Pacers after the timeout.

After all, this big center does have a big advantage on the inside of the Cavaliers, and when facing Vallejo, Hibbert can use his height and tonnage advantage to make the Brazilian helpless.

When the Pacers faced the Cavaliers, they would have relied on their huge advantage on the interior to be able to dominate the game. It's a pity that the Indiana's hand on the outside tonight was so bad that even if the Cavaliers shrank their defense, they didn't play anything on the outside that could ease the pressure on Hibbert.

Naturally, when the timeout ends, Hibbert, who is the Pacers' main interior player, will not necessarily be able to open up the situation. Because when the timeout came back, Darren. As soon as Collison hoisted the ball inside for Hibbert, the Cavaliers quickly pinched Hibbert as he attacked.

The big center is slow to move, and such a decisive pinch attack naturally makes it difficult for Hibbert to defend. He's not a great passer, so naturally, it gives defenders a chance!

Granger, as the Pacers' main point of attack on the outside, almost never goes to the weak side of the ball on the offensive end, because he needs to be ready to attack at all times, and naturally, he is ambushed outside the three-point line in the bottom corner. Wu Dawei turned his head and could see his teammates' pinching attacks on Hibbert, making it difficult for this big center to get out for a while.

So, Wu Dawei did not hesitate to leave Granger on the outside, and rushed in the moment, although Granger had already shouted "be careful" outside the three-point line, it was already too late!

Wu Dawei saw the right time, and when Hibbert focused his attention on the basket behind him, Wu Dawei suddenly stretched out his palm and slapped the ball in the opponent's hand at once!

The lightning and thunder caught Hibbert off guard, and even though he heard Granger's shouting, he was still half a beat slower. When Hibbert turned around, Wu Dawei had already taken the lead and rushed towards the Pacers halfcourt.

Granger stuck to Wu Dawei, intending to delay this quick down. But at this time, Wu Dawei began to show his tonnage advantage, and after rushing into the opponent's three-point line, Wu Dawei did not rush to collect the ball and start, and made a three-step layup to end the offense. Instead, while lowering the speed first, he leaned his body against Granger's body next to him, and after the two of them collided together, Wu Dawei fell to the other side and threw the ball to the basket!

Swish!

I actually entered! This is the moment Wu Dawei fell to the ground, the thought that came to his mind. (To be continued.)
