The last game against the Celtics was Wu Dawei's first appearance this season, and tonight, Wu Dawei, who has become more and more important, is naturally still the team's unyielding choice in the No. 3 position.

The Cavaliers have maintained a good team this season, and there are no major injuries in the team, so naturally, there will not be much change. The center is still Brazilian Andre Vallejo, the two forwards are Wu Dawei and Antoine Jamison, and the defenders are Anthony Parker and Maurice Williams.

As for the Celtics, the center to the point guard are Shaquille O'Neal, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen, and the team's point guard Racho Rondo suffered an injury, and this time he was replaced by Nate Robinson, who played very poorly on Christmas night.

This 175 little man is indeed a qualified defender in addition to bouncing, but his ups and downs sometimes make people sweat for him.

Players from both sides slowly walked onto the court, and to the cheers of the Cleveland fans, the game was about to begin. The players gave each other a brief gesture and quickly stood up for their positions.

The referee had already taken to the court with the basketball in his hand, and Kevin Garnett was there to compete with Vallejo for the jump ball, much to the displeasure of the Brazilian, who had thought he was going to be bounced off by Shaquille O'Neal, who looked overweight......

However, in the face of the aging Garnett, Vallejo felt that he could still give it a go, after all, although this old guy said that he used to bounce thieves and legend that he could touch the top edge of the rebound, but now he is over 35 years old, and the bounce power has been returned to the bull even if he was awesome before......

But even if Garnett is not as good as he used to be, Vallejo still underestimates the veteran's bounce, or rather he overestimates himself. The basketball was contested by Garnett and moved into the Green Shirts' halfcourt.

Nate Robinson held the ball past half the court, and in an instant, the cheers in the arena came to an abrupt end. No home fan will cheer for the visitors, and the visitors are their arch-rivals!

Robinson still enjoys a high degree of offensive autonomy in the current Celtics team, and although his height has always been inferior in the league, his basketball skills are indeed extremely sè. That earned him the trust of some head coach Doug Rivers as soon as he entered the team.

But now, Robinson didn't attack on his own, and he put the ball inside to Shaquille O'Neal, who was already stuck in position. Playing from the inside is a common tactic for the aging Celtics, and although they also have a large number of good players on the outside, after all, the interior is always closer to the basket.

And with such a big meat shield as Shaquille O'Neal, it would be a real tyranny not to take advantage of the time when this fat man was full of body at the beginning of the game to make good use of his tonnage on the offensive end.

After O'Neal got the ball, the Celtics players quickly opened up space for the big sharks to play alone, especially Paul Pearce, who was in charge of defending by Wu Dawei, who didn't seem to be involved in the attack at all, and after O'Neal got the ball, he ran directly to the bottom line on the weak side of the ball.

Wu Dawei naturally had no choice but to leave, so that the isolated Vallejo was as lonely as a frightened girl when facing O'Neill, who was probably more than twice as wide as him......

O'Neal ran into the inside and turned around with a small hook, and he easily got the Green Shirts off to a good start.

2：0。

Playing away from home to take the lead, such a start somewhat relieved the Bostonians. The substitutes who were standing in front of the bench all sat back in their seats.

Williams dribbled past half the court, and although Nate Robinson was much shorter than him, Williams still didn't dare to be careless, because this short man was much faster than him, which could not allow Williams to be careless.

Wu Dawei took the initiative to run to the top of the three-point line arc to help Williams do a block, and as the season progressed, Wu Dawei and the guards in the team have become more and more proficient in blocking and picking.

Nate Robinson was completely blocked by Wu Dawei's body, Williams held the ball down, Pierce had to make up for it, and then the misalignment was formed, and Williams passed the ball directly back to Wu Dawei.

Less than a step in front of the free throw line, facing Nate Robinson, who was almost 30 centimeters shorter than him, Wu Dawei jumped up directly after receiving the ball!

He was resolute! Even so resolute that it feels a little unbelievable, because it's not a great opportunity to make a shot. After all, Nate Robinson is still in front of Ng Dawei, and although he is indeed negligibly short in front of a two-metre-tall player, he is certainly not out of position.

In the past, in the face of such a situation, Wu Dawei rarely chose to make a move. His open shots are really accurate, and that's all based on the fact that he's very good at getting in.

Now, that opportunity doesn't look as good as it used to be. But Wu Dawei still resolutely threw the basketball, and he looked confident. In the air, Wu Dawei's straight posture did not hesitate, even if Nate Robinson flew in with a shout, but Wu Dawei never looked at the short guard.

He's confident! Although the Cavaliers' form has been up and down in recent games, Wu Dawei's performance has always been the best one in the team, playing game after game, defeating opponents in a row, and winning the title of Player of the Week in the first two weeks of the league, all of which have made Wu Dawei's self-confidence rise rapidly.

The basketball flew out of Wu Dawei's hand, towards the basket, like a young eagle that had just grown up, the thick feathers and wings made him feel his strength, and in the face of the prey that was close at hand, the young eagle hissed, and then plunged into the net!

The doubts on the faces of the Cleveland fans turned into cheers for a moment, not just for the equalizer, but for all the fanciful heards they had heard a week earlier, and in Wu Dawei, what they found was more and more like the shadow of the city's former ruler.

The score was equalized, and the goal made the quick loan center boil, but it didn't affect the feelings of the Bostonians in the slightest. Nate Robinson dribbled the ball past half court and handed the ball to the Green Shirts' offensive core, Paul Pearce, a small forward who was known as an offensive kaleidoscope before Carmelo Anthony.

Wu Dawei has learned the offensive methods of the old guy in front of him, and compared with young players, Paul Pierce is more likely to play that kind of miserable little moves.

Wu Dawei was cautious, trying to keep his defense airtight and leave no chances for Pierce. Pierce held the ball in a high position, he first tested Wu Dawei a few times, and after finding that the other party was not fooled, he directly held the ball and broke through.

But Wu Dawei has never been afraid of physical confrontation, his tonnage in the No. 3 position is top-notch, and Pierce is already a veteran no matter how famous he is. In the physical struggle, he quickly fell into disadvantage, and Wu Dawei completely blocked his idea of rushing into the paint area.

In desperation, Pierce jumped directly into the air in three steps, but he was not stupid enough to choose to shoot, he just took advantage of the space to jump up and look at his teammates around him, and he found Ray Allen.

Although Anthony Parker is the top three defensive stalwart in the Cavaliers, he still feels a little powerless for a player with strong CS ability like Ray Allen.

With a pick-and-roll after slipping the baseline, Ray Allen ran out of space and Pierce's pass was on target. Junzi Lei catches the ball and shoots, three-point hit!

Switching offense and defense, the Cavaliers didn't sigh at the goal conceded this time, and they quickly sent out the baseline ball. While the Green Shirts have been old and strong this season, the decline in their tempo is a fact.

Amid head coach Scott's shouts, Williams got the ball and quickly ran to the frontcourt, while the Cavaliers players split from the wings to the Boston's half. Wu Dawei ran at the front, and the moment Ray Allen threw the blue, Wu Dawei knew that the goal was going to be scored, so he didn't have any intention of staying in the paint area, turned around and rushed towards the front.

That allowed him to get a position ahead of Paul Pearce, who was supposed to defend him, in a fast-break gap that was fatal. Williams ran a few steps before throwing a lob straight into the frontcourt.

Wu Dawei received the ball and made a three-step layup and scored with a split dunk in the fast break.

Although the Cavaliers were still behind in terms of points, there were huge cheers in the arena at this time. Wu Dawei was in great form tonight, and how he played was one of the most important reasons why Cavaliers fans came to watch the game tonight. It's important enough to rival whether the Cavaliers can win this game, because since LeBron James left the city, people here have been desperately hoping for a savior.

And Wu Dawei is undoubtedly playing such a role now!
