198. The horn of the counterattack
The team has the momentum to catch up with the score, which is undoubtedly a very important signal for a team that has been behind all the time.
Wu once again relied on his excellent performance on the defensive end to drive the pace of the game. It looks like it's finally going to turn around, and although it's not the first time Cleveland fans have seen such a scene at the Quick Loan Center, every time, they still can't help but be excited!
There is a difference between a comeback game and a full-time lead to the end. One is the cheers of the audience, and the other is a concentrated and violent catharsis of love after being suppressed for a long time!
Undoubtedly, the latter is more exhilarating and exciting.
It is in this atmosphere that the atmosphere of the Quick Loan Center has reached its climax. So, 76ers coach Doug . Collins could only ask for a timeout to interrupt the Cavaliers' seemingly imminent start to the rhythm just to be on the safe side.
Although he was very unhappy with Wu Dawei's wonderful dragon at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, he was very unhappy. Collins couldn't say anything. It is impossible for him to blame Iguodala who was eating before, after all, Iguodala was in good form tonight, and he had already scored 11 points before that matchup with Wu Dawei; And there was nothing wrong with his choice, but no one expected that Wu Dawei would be able to cut off the ball from Iguodala like that, and at the same time, he could also run to the front court in one go. Holiday
Speaking of Holiday , Doug. Collins had another headache. This rookie looked sullen after being detained by Wu Dawei, obviously because of psychological fluctuations. That's Doug. What Collins fears most now is that the team was in good shape before that, but in the blink of an eye, it seemed to be in danger.
This sudden feeling is quite bad. But Collins doesn't have much to do with Wu Dawei, Wu Dawei is not like an ordinary superstar, he uses offense to drive the whole team, he relies on personal defense to strike at the opponent's offensive arrows on the defensive end, and then immediately helps the team turn defense into offense after the defense is successful.
Iguodala is now the team's best player on the offensive end at the moment. Collins couldn't ask Iguodala not to attack. This is undoubtedly too absurd to choose, not allowing the top scorer in his team to score points, this is the rhythm of infighting......
Therefore, Collins could only remind Iguodala tactfully and vaguely to pay more attention to Wu Dawei's defense when attacking. Don't give him too many opportunities to take advantage of.
Iguodala certainly knows what the manager means. He nodded with an ugly face, knowing that he had indeed been careless before; Because Wu Dawei's previous limelight was completely based on his own mistakes.
That's what happened after Zhu. Holiday was stabbed, and it made Iguodala unhappy and a little guilty. Because Holiday has the impression that he is an honest errand boy.
Not only did he not take care of his little brother, but because of his mistakes, he let such a little brother suffer such a great shame, can Iguodala feel happy.
So after the game restarted. Iguodala vows to get justice for her little brother Holiday ! But he is also a man who thinks about the big picture, and understands that now is not the time to be brutal. But sometimes, after the momentum of the opposite side rises, the situation is not something you can grasp if you want to.
The 76ers' first offense after the timeout ended in failure, and perhaps it was the frenzied atmosphere created by the fans in the stadium that affected the 76ers players, and before they could even complete their shots, Vallejo broke the ball.
The Cavaliers had the opportunity to continue to close the gap, and it was like releasing a lion that had been kept in a cage, and it seemed that the situation was about to get out of control.
Doug. Collins didn't have time to reprimand the player who lost the ball. Because he's yelling at his players to get back to defense quickly, the Cavaliers have done a good job of transitioning the tempo, even if Morris is a good player tonight. Williams wasn't there, and the Cavaliers weren't sluggish at that point.
Scott's requirements for the players have slowly penetrated into the bone marrow after about half a season of adaptation.
Look. A former New Jersey Nets team is about to take shape in Cleveland.
Vallejo broke the ball and quickly found Ramon. Sessions, after Sessions got the ball, he turned around and rushed towards the frontcourt, and Holiday who had been blocked by Wu Dawei before was full of strength and entangled Sessions. Trying to delay the speed of his advance.
But Sessions has never been a ball-hungry man, when he is blocked. He didn't hesitate to get out of the ball and keep the Cavaliers' fast break going. Anthony. Parker got the ball and went beyond the three-point line, and Iguodala, who was defending him, was desperately chasing back.
Parker rushed inside because the only 76ers player in the paint area at the moment was their power forward Marris. Speights alone.
Parker glanced behind him, then he rushed into the paint area and jumped. At this time, Speights naturally did not let Parker succeed, and he also jumped, and Iguodala, who came from behind Parker, also jumped high.
Two 76ers players formed a pinch attack on Parker in the air, but Parker still shot, a shot that looked more like a throwing ball, and the basketball was not in sight and smashed on the rebound!
But before the Cleveland fans in the quick loan center could turn from joy to sorrow, they saw a figure also dancing behind Iguodala!
It's not that Iguodala didn't see the bouncing ball, but by the time the ball bounced towards him, Iguodala had already begun to fall, and at this time, he suddenly felt a dark cloud in the sky!
Wu Dawei is on top!
"Wow!"
Seeing this scene, many people couldn't help but exclaim, the praying mantis catching the cicada yellow finch was behind, and the yellow finch grabbed the ball in the air, and then ...... A two-handed dunk is not so much a dunk as a well-planned aerial relay!
Iguodala was directly knocked out by Wu Dawei, and Parker and Speights in front of him fell!
In the scarf up Zhu. After just one timeout, Wu Dawei once again completed a wonderful attack on the offensive end! Parker and Wu Dawei worked together wonderfully between rebounds, at least the Cavaliers fans felt the excitement they couldn't feel in the first half!
At 54:49, the score was further reduced. The gap of 5 points and the 10 points at the beginning of the second half has been fully doubled, and now, the third quarter has not yet completed half of the process!
Seeds of hope are burning in people's hearts.
"Defend-defend! Defend-defend! Defend-defend! ”
Although Wu Dawei hit three people at once with a dunk this time, the referee did not think it was a foul, because Wu Dawei did not push Iguodala in front of him with his hand, but completely rushed towards the ball. Therefore, no matter how Iguodala appealed, he only got a fruitless result.
The 76ers will face a high-pressure offense next, and so far, their start after the timeout has not been a good one, but it has given the opponent another momentum. The "defense" chanted by the fans in the stadium also made the 76ers players feel palpitations.
The team, which dominated the game in the first half, was finally feeling nervous at this moment.
Cinnabar. Holiday was still holding the ball in the high post, but it was clear that he didn't dare to attack anymore. After half-time, he still handed the ball to Andre, the current boss of the team. Iguodala, expecting Iguodala to open up for the team.
But in the face of Wu Dawei's angry and hideous defensive posture, Iguodala felt that he was a little bottomless in his heart. The goal conceded before the timeout and the series of scenes after the goal were vividly remembered, and Iguodala was no longer so composed.
But he knows that at this moment, as the boss of the team, he can't be cowering, and it is a man's responsibility to go against the current. He calmed his mind outside the three-point line, and then started dribbling in the face of Wu Dawei's defense.
After a few tentative shakes, Iguodala found that he was still unable to shake Wu Dawei's defensive posture, his eyes staring at him tightly seemed to be able to see through the truth and falsehood, I can't fool him?
Iguodala was a little frustrated by such thoughts, but he chose to attack anyway. After a crotch dribble overturned the ball into his right hand, Iguodala leaned directly on Wu Dawei to force the basket.
But he was obviously a little panicked, although his right hand was Iguodala's usual hand, but he was on the left side at this time, and taking the right side was equivalent to going straight to the basket from the middle, and there were Cavaliers players on both sides, and Iguodala's offense was destined to be extremely difficult this time.
But Iguodala, who was rushing in, would know this, he only had the idea of scoring a goal in his mind at this time, and when he rushed into the paint area and jumped up, Iguodala found that there were countless palms in front of him!
It's like a bloody mouth to devour him! But time didn't allow Iguodala to make any more choices, and he made a shot, a step-back jumper that dodged countless palms. But at the moment when he was about to take off, he was photographed by Wu Dawei!
The prediction of "predicting things like God" made Wu Dawei know that Iguodala must be going to shoot backwards this time, so his jump time was a little late, but he was more accurate than the other players on the Cavaliers!
The ball was pressed down by Wu Dawei's palm, Vallejo grabbed the ball that lost control at the same time, Iguodala fell to the ground in response, as if blowing the horn of the Cavaliers' counterattack!
As the Cavaliers players ran on the court at the Quickloan Center, the 76ers players who couldn't stop the score from getting close again seemed to be unable to prevent the score from being closed again! Because at the same time that Iguodala fell to the ground, their confidence in attacking and winning this match became a little lost......
