187. A wave of streams

Wu Dawei's 2+1 allowed the Cavaliers to expand the difference to 11 points in an instant, although it only increased the previous eight-point gap by three points, but the significance was far greater than this score.

A double-digit gap will always make people feel a sense of desperation, and at the same time, this 2+1 is also quite a big boost to the morale of the Cavaliers.

Between a rise and a fall, the advantage increases exponentially. When halftime, the Cavaliers went into the locker room with a 40-52 lead over the Pacers on the road.

Wu's 15 points at halftime made him the top scorer for both teams at the moment, and those 15 points were evenly distributed. Wu Dawei scored 6 points in the first quarter and 9 points in the second quarter, and it can be said that his firepower ran through the entire first half, providing output for the Cavaliers' swaying and uncertain.

This is where Wu Dawei is currently excellent on the offensive end, although he does not have any explosive scoring performances, but his steady supply can keep the Cavaliers from falling into too big a scoring drought.

In addition to his good performance on the offensive end, as Wu Dawei's good defensive end, he also has an extremely outstanding performance. In addition to contributing 5 rebounds, Wu Dawei also had 1 block and 3 steals. If you have to pick a bone in the egg, it's that Wu Dawei didn't play in offensive rebounding tonight. However, if Wu Dawei can play on the offensive end tonight, then I believe that the Pacers will be more than 12 points behind at this moment.

This situation is undoubtedly a good thing for the Cavaliers, as a 12-point advantage into the second half gives them hope of ending a two-game losing streak.

Of course, ending a two-game losing streak and winning this crucial game not only means that the Cavaliers have ended their losing streak, but also allows the Cavaliers to chase the Pacers in front of them.

The outcome of this game is not just a win, between the two teams in the top and bottom of the rankings, one win and one loss, that is the difference between two wins.

The Cavaliers knew that, so when they entered the halftime, they were happy with a 12-point lead in the first half; The Pacers also understand this situation, and naturally, they are very concerned about winning this game, so they are very dissatisfied with the situation of falling behind by 12 points at halftime.

After a 15-minute break, players from both sides returned to the pitch. On the one hand, a 12-point lead gives the Cavaliers players confidence; On the other hand, the Pacers, who trailed by 12 points, were reprimanded by the head coach in the locker room, and they didn't want to lose this game either, especially since they had beaten their opponents so comfortably a week ago.

At 40:52, the third quarter of the game started with such a score, and no matter how unconvinced the Indians were, there was no doubt that the Cavaliers had the upper hand, not only in terms of points but also psychologically.

The second half of the game started with the Cavaliers, and the two sides still started the first half. After Williams controlled the ball for half time, he still took the initiative to seek cooperation with Wu Dawei in the high post. Because of Wu Dawei's brilliant performance on the offensive end in the first half, he can always become the focus of the opponent's attention when cooperating.

That way, Williams can find good shooting opportunities. In the first half, Williams scored six points, all from mid-range shooting. This time, when Wu Dawei's blocking helped him block Collison next to him, he ran to the sideline and took away Granger, who originally wanted to make up for Williams.

Williams makes a mid-range shot.

At 40:54, the Cavaliers continued to build a foundation for their lead at the start of the second half.

After the offense and defense transitioned, it became the Pacers' offense. Their offensive focus is naturally to put Roy on the inside. Hibbert. Attacking someone else's weaknesses is always the most efficient way.

The Cavaliers' weakness on the inside made Roy. Hibbert scored 12 points in the first half. You must know that although this big center has begun to emerge, his average points per game this season is only 14 points.

Everyone could tell that Hibbert had an outburst tonight.

Naturally, the Cavaliers couldn't let Hibbert's team go inside and let it go, so the Cavaliers would always quickly wrap Hibbert when he wanted to play with the ball. Shrinking the line on the defensive end means giving the opponent plenty of opportunities from the outside.

That's great news for a team that has star players and three-point shooters on the perimeter, but tonight the Pacers felt terrible on the perimeter. This is why since the first quarter, the Cavaliers have been shrinking the defense without hesitation.

Collison dribbled past half court and watched in the high post for a while, and then he saw Roy on the inside. Hibbert jammed the position and Collison hoisted the ball inside for a split second. As soon as Hibbert received the ball, he saw Williams rushing towards him.

Hibbert was standing outside the paint zone at the moment, which was not his shooting hot spot, and naturally, if he wanted to run inside, then dribbling inside and hitting the back was essential. And the small man's pinch attack is a great threat to his dribble.

As a last resort, Hibbert had no choice but to pass the ball back to Collison. Collison was in an unguarded state for the time being, but he didn't shoot the first shot after getting the ball, as he shot 1-of-7 from the field tonight.

The basketball flew to the basket and turned into a sound of iron. Hibbert, who was still under the basket, tried to snatch the rebound, but Vallejo turned around and stuck him, and then the rebound was taken into the arms of Wu Dawei, who rushed into the inside.

In fact, the Cavaliers' current starting lineup is so short that they don't even count as one big or four small. And as the No. 4 position, Jamison's impact on the interior has long been gone, and naturally, Wu Dawei needs to protect the rebound on the inside more often.

After all, in this era when there are so many centers with explosive bodies, if the Cavaliers rely only on Vallejo to support them on the inside, then it is strange that their paint area will not be exposed.

After Wu Dawei took the rebound in his arms, he quickly carried it through the half. The Pacers players only cared about the defense, and naturally no one interfered with Wu Dawei's dribbling. Wu Dawei took the ball to the three-point line in the Pacers' half, of course, he had no intention of shooting three-pointers.

This season, the number of three-pointers Wu Dawei has shot can be counted with one hand. He did a few coquettish crotch dribbles on the spot, looking like he wanted to make a strong burst with the ball, and suddenly the quick loan center that had been calm for a long time screamed.

You must know that although Wu Dawei has always been able to play exciting games this season, he has almost never held the ball and singled out his opponent. On the offensive end, he relied more on his aggressive movement and advanced awareness to score points.

Wu Dawei's pretense also made Granger in front of him bow down. Although judging from the pre-match scouting report and his previous two meetings with Wu Dawei, Granger does not think Wu Dawei is a good player with the ball.

But he still didn't dare to relax too much, because Wu Dawei was always able to inadvertently bring unexpected expressions to people. Granger has been through this many times.

Wu Dawei also saw Granger's appearance as if he was facing a big enemy, and he even smiled a little smugly, and then he did another crotch dribble, which seemed to be about to launch an attack for the best attack. But at this moment, when everyone's attention was focused on Wu Dawei, Wu Dawei suddenly threw his right hand holding the ball forward!

The basketball flew almost against Granger's scalp and flew inside, and people shifted their eyes from the trajectory of the ball, and then saw a figure suddenly appear in the paint area! Anthony. Parker jumped up without hesitation when he received the ball!

Attack the unprepared two-handed basket at once!

When Anthony. When Parker finished scoring, Roy Brown, who was sitting on the inside of the Pacers, was in charge of the Pacers. Hibbert, there was no reaction to the move.

At 40:56, the margin was further widened. The Cleveland fans in the quick loan center couldn't help but cheer for this wonderful dunk, but what made them even more surprised was Wu Dawei's wonderful pass before!

The 16-point gap is enough to make anyone despair, because it's never a margin that can be caught up in a few rounds. It takes one or even two waves of attacking Gao Chao to have the possibility of catching up.

Just over a minute into the second half, the Cavaliers seemed to be setting off their own pace. Pacers coach Vogel was unprepared for this, but instead of calling a timeout, he yelled hoarsely at the players on the sidelines: "Slow down!" Slow down! Be steady! Score the ball! ”

The Pacers did slow down the tempo of their offense, and Collison didn't rush to the ball after halftime, but mobilized his teammates on the court to run. After a few runs, Troy. Murphy & Brandon. Rush, two players who were less involved on the offensive end, were moved to the weak side of the ball by Collison, and then he motioned for Granger to come to the high post and play a pick-and-roll with him.

Collison dribbled from Granger at the top of the three-point arc, and Granger blocked Williams next to him very well, but just as he was about to attack, a figure suddenly popped out of his right, extremely fast!

Wu Dawei almost caught Collison off guard from the blind corner of the opponent's field of vision almost the moment Collison came around!

The ball was stabbed out of Collison's hand by Wu Dawei in an instant, and at this time, Granger was still facing away from Collison's side, naturally unaware of what happened in an instant. And after Wu Dawei stabbed the ball, he rushed forward with the help of inertia!

At the moment when the ball was about to go out of bounds, Wu Dawei grabbed the ball, and then, it was a fast attack after a wonderful defensive counterattack!

From defense to offense, Wu Dawei only took five seconds, which was enough to make the Indians stunned.

At 40:58, the margin continued to widen to 18 points, approaching the 20-point mark, just like the bottom line of people's collapse. The Cavaliers scored six straight points at the beginning of the second half, and while they were surprisingly good, they also knocked the Indians to the bottom! (To be continued.)
