Wu's sudden block undoubtedly sounded the alarm for the Charlotte Bobcats all at once, because when the Cleveland Cavaliers' fast break ended, the score became 34:43.
The Charlottes not only fell behind, but were also stretched to nine points by the Cleveland Cavaliers. You must know that the difference in scores has been maintained at around 5 points until then.
Now that it is 9 points all of a sudden, there is no doubt that it will have some impact on the shape of this game, because the difference in the score may be stretched to more than double digits at any time at this time.
And this was undoubtedly the last thing the Charlottes wanted, so at this point, of course, they were frustrated by it.
Especially Al. Jefferson, he felt like the goal was going to go in the moment he took the shot, but he made a bite from the halfway point.
Wu Dawei's block made all his efforts in vain, and what is even worse is that after Wu Dawei's block, the Charlotte Bobcats immediately fell into a more passive situation.
At the same time, Wu Dawei's cap as well as Ramon. Sessions' fast-break also boosted the morale of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The entire quick loan center cheered at this time, and the Cleveland fans had waited so long to finally see the team pull away some points and no longer be chased by the Charlottes.
Naturally, it makes them feel very happy.
After all, the team is now pulling away from the score, which is a good sign in the second quarter, and now, all the Cleveland Cavaliers need to do is how to maintain that momentum and advantage in the rest of the game.
Of course, this is important for the Cleveland Cavaliers, who need a big win, and now, as the Cleveland Cavaliers gradually pull the score away, the signs of such a big win can be seen a little bit more clearly.
However, when the Cleveland Cavaliers took a nine-point lead. Next, they were once again narrowed by the Charlotte Bobcats.
Al. After Jefferson was blocked by Wu Dawei in the paint area, it didn't affect his self-confidence in attacking, and he asked his teammate for the ball again, only this time Al. Jefferson opted to shoot at mid-range!
He didn't give anyone a chance to hit him, he just shot directly, and the ball went directly into the basket in such a situation.
Obviously, in this game tonight, Al. Jefferson's form on the offensive end has been outstanding.
It is also his excellent offensive performance that will make the Cleveland Cavaliers unable to open the gap at this time.
And this time he used a two-point shot again. Throw the ball into the hoop.
As a result, the gap in the score has been narrowed back to 7 points. This will undoubtedly be a disappointment for the Clevelands, as they are still faced with not being able to contain Al. Jefferson's case.
This certainly doesn't bode well for the Cleveland Cavaliers, but they don't have much to do with them at this point.
Since Dwight. Howard couldn't defend Al alone. Jefferson, then the Cleveland Cavaliers can only rely more on their help defense and pinching to deal with Al. Jefferson too.
Of course, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, there is only one problem they are struggling with right now, and that is that they can't defend Eyre. Jefferson's offense, however for the Charlottes. They have a lot to worry about now.
Because they were almost completely blown up by the Cleveland Cavaliers on the defensive end, they couldn't defend against the Cleveland Cavaliers' offense at all, which was definitely a devastating blow to a team that was good at defense.
After all, the reason why they were able to beat so many teams in the regular season was because of their excellent defensive strength.
And now in the first game of the playoffs. The Charlotte Bobcats were hit in the face. The Cleveland Cavaliers' offense made them feel helpless, and if it weren't for Al Cavaliers. Jefferson was a god-aided player in tonight's game, and the Cleveland Cavaliers may have already eliminated the Charlotte Bobcats by now.
And the Charlotte Bobcats, who have always been bad offensively, can't guarantee that they will always be able to ensure the efficiency of such an offense on the next offensive end.
After all, even Al. Jefferson is also playing in the playoffs for the first time. And his shooting percentage in the regular season games is not too high.
So at this time, it is natural that the Charlottes are more anxious than the Clevelands.
After all, they are the underdog and the underdog, and if they can't catch up with the score gap at this time, then their excellent performance on the offensive end will be in vain.
Because they also know that they haven't been able to play very well on the offensive end all the time lately. Therefore, if the score gap cannot be narrowed in such a situation, then the Charlotte Bobcats will face extremely difficult shapes.
Of course they don't want that to happen, but that's how it happened.
And when Al. After Jefferson scored again, the Cleveland Cavaliers responded with a three-pointer from the Charlotte Bobcats.
All of a sudden, the margin was in double digits, and there was no doubt that this was a very frustrating thing for Charlotte.
Because they weren't able to defend the opponent's attack at this time, it was also for them to be on the offensive end or Al. Jefferson's efforts on the offensive end were in vain.
After all, the Cleveland Cavaliers are currently 10 points ahead of the Charlotte Bobcats. The gap has been widened to double digits, and it seems that the chances are on the way for the Charlotte Bobcats who want to get their chances in this game.
They needed to stop the decline in time, so when the ball was turned back, Al. Jefferson naturally needs to play a good offensive game for his Charlotte Bobcats on the offensive end.
And Al. Jefferson also lived up to expectations at this time to help the Charlotte Bobcats, and when the offense and defense were switched, the Charlotte Bobcats handed the ball to Al again. Jefferson's hands.
After the latter received the ball, he immediately chose to attack the basket. And he was in such a situation. Threw the ball into the basket again.
Because of this, the Cleveland Cavaliers' 10-point lead that they had just built up suddenly became 8 points again.
There is no doubt that although the Cleveland Cavaliers have always been the leading side in this game, they have struggled to pull the Charlotte Bobcats completely behind them in the middle of the game.
The Charlottes have always been very tenacious to follow behind the Cleveland Cavaliers, which also makes the Cleveland Cavaliers completely unable to open up the score at this time.
And in this way, it naturally means that the Charlotte Bobcats still have a chance to complete a comeback in the next game.
While this is something the Cleveland Cavaliers don't want to see, it's a reality they have to face at this time.
The opponent was surprisingly difficult, but fortunately, the Cleveland Cavaliers were not overtaken by their opponents. At least they still have a firm grip on the lead at the top of the scoreline.
This naturally helped the Cleveland Cavaliers at this time, although the process of the game was still a bit unexpected, but at least in general, the Cleveland Cavaliers were able to control the trend of the game.
At this point, at least the Cleveland Cavaliers can maintain an advantage, and if the Cleveland Cavaliers are outscored by their opponents at home, then it will be a real devastating blow for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Of course, they didn't want to face such a situation, because they never thought that the Charlotte Bobcats could do them any harm.
You know, although this is the second time in the history of the Charlotte Bobcats to break into the playoffs, their record in the regular season this season is only 40 wins and 42 losses!
They don't even have half the win rate, and the Cleveland Cavaliers are the team that has broken record after record.
A 74-8 record and a 40-42 record are definitely not on the same level, so for the Cleveland Cavaliers. If they were to capsize in the first game of the first round of the playoffs, it would definitely surprise countless people.
Because that's something that no one can imagine, considering that after the Cleveland Cavaliers played such a good game in the regular season, people think that they are in the playoffs this season. The Cleveland Cavaliers will still be swept by a single stroke.
After all, they're so good and in such good shape, and as the league's champions for the past two seasons, there's no reason to doubt that they're not the favorites to win this season.
And the gap between the Charlotte Bobcats and the Cleveland Cavaliers is really a bit big. Before the playoffs began, people didn't even think they would be able to win a game, let alone a game, and some even thought they wouldn't even get a slight lead......
So at this time, when the Charlotte Bobcats even bit the score. Naturally, it was a surprise to many people.
After all, for the Charlotte Bobcats, they are playing like this is enough to surprise people, and if they do win the game, it will probably freak a lot of people.
And not to mention that it was that time, but now it has surprised many people, and the time that has surprised countless people continues. When the Charlotte Bobcats relied on Al again. Jefferson's offense narrowed the gap to single digits, and although the Cleveland Cavaliers then stretched the deficit to 10 points, Al Brown. Jefferson scored again.
It seems that Wu Dawei's previous block was not given to Al. Jefferson has had too much impact, and his offensive state and feel are still very hot. Jefferson is now shooting more from the perimeter.
This began to happen again in the second quarter, as if the first quarter was a repeat. It's just that compared to the first quarter of the game, there is no doubt that the Cleveland Cavaliers faced a better shape in the second quarter of the game. Because they have always widened the gap from 5 points to 10 points. At least the margin is starting to hover around double digits, so that this game will be played against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Of course, it's very beneficial.
But for most Clevelands, they don't want to see that happen, because it's not what they think.
However, in any case, the Cleveland Cavaliers are slowly widening the gap in the score, which is of course very good for them to win this playoff game.
For the Cleveland Cavaliers, although they don't want to see such a situation, it is always much better than being bitten by an opponent in the first quarter of the game.
After all, if they can maintain such an advantage all the time, then they are not far from winning the game.
Of course, this is not to say that such an advantage will necessarily help the Cleveland Cavaliers win this game, after all, the more the game comes, the Charlottes will definitely have a stronger comeback. After all, they wouldn't want to lose this game like that. It's just that the Cleveland Cavaliers are definitely closer to victory now than before.
After all, the margin has now been maintained at around 10 points, and for a defensive team like the Charlotte Bobcats, who are not good at attacking, such a gap is enough for them to drink.
Although they are still in hot pursuit, and Al. Jefferson's offense was also a headache for the Cleveland Cavaliers, but at this time, it was difficult for them to close the 10-point gap or even completely equalize it in a very quick time.
Wu Dawei's offense is also a headache for the Charlotte Bobcats. Jefferson basically only scored 2 points on every offense, and Wu Dawei's attack sometimes made Charlotte feel very hurt.
In fact, the shape of the game has always been biased towards the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are playing at home. It's just that the Charlotte Bobcats' interior core Eyre. Jefferson's appearance in tonight's game really surprised everyone.
If it weren't for his appearance, the Cleveland Cavaliers might have completely defeated the Charlotte Bobcats.
When the entire first half of the game was over, Al . Jefferson's individual score has come to 22 points. As an interior player, it's a rare thing to score 22 points in a half.
And it's because of Al. Jefferson was able to score 22 points at the end of the first half, otherwise the Charlotte Bobcats might have been completely defeated by the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Because even Al. With Jefferson scoring 22 points in the first half alone, the Charlotte Bobcats still trailed the Cleveland Cavaliers by as many as 10 points at halftime.
47:57。 The Charlotte Bobcats gave the Cleveland Cavaliers 57 points at halftime, which was a great shame for a team that was very good at defending.
And Wu Dawei scored 25 points alone among the 57 points! And more importantly, Wu Dawei did not concede a goal in the first half of the game, he almost did not concede a single goal. This is a very important thing.
Because in the first half of this game, the Charlotte Bobcats couldn't limit Wu Dawei from doing anything on the basketball court.
It is precisely because Wu Dawei was unable to defend the entire first half of the game, which also made the Charlotte Bobcats in the core of the team. Jefferson played so well that he still couldn't take the slightest advantage in the game.
Because Wu Dawei's table is even better than Al. Jefferson was much better, not only in terms of scoring, but also in other aspects that Wu Dawei's table was the key to helping the Cleveland Cavaliers take the lead at this point.
In addition, the Cleveland Cavaliers' original strength was much better than that of the Charlotte Bobcats, so the Cleveland Cavaliers were able to maintain a double-digit lead in such a situation.
This is also a headache for the head coach of the Charlotte Bobcats, because now the game has entered the midfield, so the Charlottes know that if they still can't limit Wu Dawei's table in the second half of the game, then for the Charlotte Bobcats, they will go further and further in this game.
For the Charlotte Bobcats, they are the underdogs, and if they can't play a higher quality game in the second half, then they can even have a godlike Al in this game. Jefferson, too, will have a hard time winning the game. (To be continued......)
