623. Great crisis
29-20, when Wu Dawei returned to the court in the first quarter of the game, he knew that he and his Cleveland Cavaliers were in extremely bad shape at this time.
His team is now desperately in need of a personal performance to make a comeback from the slump and defeat at this moment, which is an important thing for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
After all, the Cleveland Cavaliers certainly wouldn't want to be on the underdog at this time, although they had the experience of being the underdog after the end of the first quarter in the last game; But if you can get ahead, then no one wants to be the underdog.
And Wu Dawei's appearance in the last minute of the first episode of the game was also seen by the head coach of the San Antonio Spurs Popovich at this time.
But he will not change his original strategy for this game because of Wu Dawei's appearance at this time.
Because for the San Antonio Spurs who are playing away from home, this is a very important thing, after all, for the San Antonio Spurs, they are in very good shape right now.
So, if they change all of their current plans just because of Wu Dawei at this time, then it won't necessarily be good for the San Antonio Spurs.
After all, at this time, the San Antonio Spurs themselves belong to the leading side, and they don't need to change their original strategy for the sake of Wu Dawei, who has not played much in this game tonight.
So at this time, Popovich still chose to put Tim. Duncan, Tony. Parker and other veterans were replaced at the break; And the ones who came in were also rotation players for the San Antonio Spurs.
For the San Antonio Spurs, after all, they are now the leading side, so there is no need for them to completely disrupt their rhythm because of Wu Dawei's appearance at this time.
After all, the San Antonio Spurs are now more dominant. Instead of David Wu with his Cleveland Cavaliers.
Now, Wu Dawei, who is back on the court, still has to think about how he should find his state next.
After all, he didn't score a point in the previous game, and the number of 2 shots and 0 seemed to be a little miserable, so at this time, let alone the goal of chasing the score.
And this is indeed the purpose of Wu Dawei, I believe this is also the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers. The reason why Scott replaced Wu Dawei on the court at this time.
But for this, Popovich didn't particularly care, of course. For Wu Dawei's performance in the next game, Popovich must be very concerned.
Because after all, David Wu is the core player of the Cleveland Cavaliers, although his performance after the opening game is not good, but this does not fully mean that he will do nothing in the whole game tonight.
Such an idea is dangerous, and those who despise Wu Dawei this season will not get a good end. So at this time, although Wu Dawei's table at the beginning was not good, but at this time. For Popovich, he certainly won't despise Wu Dawei because of this.
Of course, he will still keep an eye on Wu Dawei's appearance, and if Wu Dawei's momentum in this game rises a little, then Popovich will definitely be in the first place. Just go and react most violently.
After all, he didn't want to watch such a hard-won momentum disappear like this, so no matter what, for Popovich. He will be vigilant enough.
This is especially true when it comes to being the leading side, for Popovich and his San Antonio Spurs, after losing the first game. The second game will be extremely important.
They can't afford to slack off, and while they did well in tonight's game, it wasn't enough to make them complacent.
Because the game is still going on, for the San Antonio Spurs, although they have a 9-point advantage, this 9-point advantage may not be able to get them through this game tonight.
So at this point, for Popovich, as the head coach of the San Antonio Spurs, it's natural for him to keep his composure.
At this time, of course, it is not only Popovich who will pay attention to Wu Dawei's watch, but also the Cleveland fans on the sidelines, and Charles who is sitting in front of the commentary booth on the sidelines. Ross Barkley, as a die-hard fan of Wu Dawei, will naturally hope that Wu Dawei can recover his form as quickly as possible in this game tonight.
"Now the Cleveland Cavaliers need Wu Dawei's table to stabilize the situation on the basketball court for them, and falling behind by 9 points is not good for the Cleveland Cavaliers at this time. After all, the game has only been played for a quarter, and they are given a nine-point lead by the San Antonio Spurs who are playing away. ”
"Although this happened in the first quarter of the last game, the Cleveland Cavaliers didn't play so passively at that time, and Wu Dawei's appearance was not so bad."
"So in fact, the situation that the Cleveland Cavaliers are facing is very bad now, and they need Wu Dawei's expression even more urgently to stabilize their morale!"
Charles. Barkley is right, the San Antonio Spurs' strong performance in this game tonight has indeed made Cleveland fans feel worried, and the more in such a situation, people will naturally have more expectations for Wu Dawei.
After all, at this time, Wu Dawei is the only core player of the Cleveland Cavaliers who stays on the basketball court, although his performance was not good in the previous game, but at this time, it still can't hide the expectations of Cleveland fans for Wu Dawei.
After all, it's only been a day since the last game of crazy watch, and people still remember it. So at this time, for Cleveland fans, they certainly believe that Wu Dawei can play an amazing game for the team at this time to equalize or even surpass the current situation.
However, of course, this qiē is still unknown at this time, because Wu Dawei has just played, and no one knows what will happen in the end.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are currently trailing by nine points, though not particularly hopeless. But such a gap is definitely not small.
So at this time, for the whole Cleveland Cavaliers, they are very eager to close the gap as quickly as possible.
And this is also Wu Dawei's only thought at this time, so in the first attack after the re-appearance, Wu Dawei showed a very strong desire to attack.
He hopes to be able to get back to the state as much as possible, which is what people desire and understand, but apparently Wu Dawei is in a bit of a hurry. Belinelli Wu Dawei did not sink down to play, but immediately chose to attack the basket after half the court with the ball.
He's fast. It didn't even take much to cross the three-point line, although Mark. Belinelli was quickly dumped by Wu Dawei, but Wu Dawei did not choose to continue to break inside, but chose to use a pull-up jump shot to complete the attack.
There is no doubt that this is too anxious to watch the ball, the ball directly knocked out of the basket, Wu Dawei's first three shots in this game tonight, all ended in misses.
Such a situation is something that no one could have thought of before the start of this game; Everyone originally thought that Wu Dawei would easily play the table of the previous game again in this game tonight.
But apparently this is not the case now. And not only that, Wu Dawei's table is also so bad, all the three shots in the opening game were lost, not only Wu Dawei didn't expect it. At this point, even the Cleveland fans on the sidelines were blindsided.
They couldn't believe their eyes, is this still Wu Dawei who saw God in the last game?!
Obviously, in this match tonight, Wu Dawei has not been able to play as well as he did in the previous game.
That's for the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are playing at home at this time. It is a very bad situation.
Because when Wu Dawei missed the shot, the San Antonio Spurs grabbed the rebound, and then. The San Antonio Spurs are on the offensive again.
And compared to Wu Dawei's inability to shoot, at this time, the San Antonio Spurs once again threw the ball into the basket.
The score was then 31-20, and for the first time in the game, the gap between the two sides was stretched to double digits.
Of course, this is definitely not the picture that the Cleveland people want to see, but when the score gap reached double digits, Popovich on the sidelines couldn't help but cheer.
Because this is the first time the San Antonio Spurs have taken a double-digit lead in this game tonight.
While the lead at this point is not guaranteed to help the San Antonio Spurs win tonight's game, at least it will give them a complete lead in the game.
At least that's enough to get Popovich excited, because the San Antonio Spurs need that kind of shape and shape for this game tonight.
They don't want to be dominated by the Cleveland Cavaliers anymore, so at this point, the San Antonio Spurs players are excited to get that kind of game.
Although the game has only just begun in the first quarter, it will take a while for the San Antonio Spurs to take the victory away from the Quick Loan Center.
But at this point, when they take an 11-point lead in the game, the San Antonio Spurs players will naturally feel confident about the rest of the game.
After all, Wu Dawei's state at this time is not so good, and for the Cleveland Cavaliers, if Wu Dawei is in such a state tonight, then their winning prospects will definitely increase greatly.
In fact, everyone can see that in the last game, if it weren't for Wu Dawei's anti-sky play, maybe the San Antonio Spurs would have taken away the victory from the quick loan center.
So while the Cleveland Cavaliers have played like crazy this season, look at it in Game 1 of the Finals. The San Antonio Spurs are clearly still a very competitive team.
So at this point, when the San Antonio Spurs led by 11 points, the Cleveland fans on the sidelines certainly felt bad.
"Wu Dawei's table tonight is terrible!"
Sit Charles. Kenny next to Barkley. Smith said without hesitation at this point, although he was in contact with Charles. Barkley, too, was impressed by Wu Dawei's performance in the playoffs.
However, at this time, when he saw Wu Dawei's bad appearance, he would still say what he really thought in his heart.
"He's going to need to make adjustments as much as he can, and the Cleveland Cavaliers need his help at this point, if Wu Dawei is just doing that tonight. Then the Cleveland Cavaliers will have a hard time winning the game even on their home court. ”
It seems that everyone can't help but feel worried about Wu Dawei and the Cleveland Cavaliers at this time, and on the San Antonio Spurs' side, Popovich, as the team's head coach, seems to be extremely excited.
Because he also saw hope, Wu Dawei was a bad performance in this game at least in the first quarter of the game, and it was indeed a great opportunity to give the San Antonio Spurs who were playing away.
It's just up to the San Antonio Spurs to take advantage of that opportunity in tonight's game.
If they can't take their chances, then it will be a pity for them, but at this time, in Popovich's opinion. You won't see anything like that happening, because the Cleveland Cavaliers' unbeaten runaway run in the playoffs this season may be over after this game tonight!
Although it is now that the game has just played the first quarter. Wu Dawei still has time to continue to adjust, but if the San Antonio Spurs can take the opportunity to open the score, then even if Wu Dawei adjusts back later, maybe the San Antonio Spurs have already won the victory!
So at this time for Popovich. He's just going to get really excited because his team is in a good situation right now.
As long as they take advantage of such a God-given opportunity, the Spurs who return to San Antonio with a 1-1 aggregate score will certainly have more chances to turn the tide at this moment.
So at this time. When the San Antonio Spurs stretched the gap to double digits, Popovich's joy was palpable.
And now it's not just Popovich, who is the head coach of the San Antonio Spurs, who is sitting on the sidelines and resting Tim. Duncan, Tony. Parker and other players are even more happy about this.
Of course, apparently the most excited person at this moment is Kauvai. Leonard, as a player who will play against Wu Dawei throughout this series, at this time, he is certainly happy to see Wu Dawei such a bad performance.
Especially in the case that Wu Dawei only had such a good performance in the last game, if Wu Dawei continues to perform badly in this game tonight, then it can be said that it is Kaovai. What Leonard wanted to see the most.
So at this point, when the San Antonio Spurs scored again, he stood on the sidelines and cheered wildly.
It's as if I want to vent all the unhappiness in my heart about the last game at this time.
At this time, Wu Dawei obviously couldn't get back in a short period of time, which made the situation of the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first quarter of the game extremely bad.
Although Wu Dawei tried his best to do something for the Cleveland Cavaliers, at this time, it seemed that his cousin could not help the Cleveland Cavaliers playing at home.
Even because of this, the Cleveland Cavaliers fell behind by more points because of Wu Dawei, when the entire first quarter of the game ended, the score had become 33-19, and the Cleveland Cavaliers, who were playing at home, were already 14 points behind the San Antonio Spurs at the end of the first quarter of the game!
That's a huge gap, and what's even worse for the Cleveland Cavaliers right now is that as the core of the team, David Wu hasn't been able to contribute to the team at this time.
In the entire first quarter of the game, he didn't score a single point, and his four shots were zero, which undoubtedly shocked many people.
There is no doubt that at this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are playing at home, are already in a huge crisis, a critical situation that no one would have thought of before the game starts!
And it seems that for some time they didn't have a solution to the current situation, which was what made the Cleveland people feel the most anxious.
It's not like they haven't fallen behind before, but in this year's playoffs, they really haven't encountered such a situation! (To be continued......) I1292
