43. Moment of truth
92:92!
Wu Dawei is like a microwave oven, once again contributing to the team as soon as he came on the court. His empty-handed run deceived Lul Deng and equalised.
After falling from the basket, Wu Dawei and Vallejo clapped excitedly. He glanced up at the time, and there were 3 minutes and 50 seconds left in the game. It's the final battle!
The Bulls' offense still starts with Derrick Rose, the player who vowed to win the MVP of the season and carried the team on his shoulders like a real star in the final moments of the game.
Again, he singled out Anthony Parker and hit another jumper from mid-range.
At 94:92, Wu Dawei was still on the weak side. Lul Deng's range limited Wu's range of movement, so he felt a little helpless about what happened on the strong side of the ball.
This situation made Thibodeau very satisfied. He clasped his hands to his chest, and he had noticed Wu's reaction in the previous two attacks. Although Wu Dawei was not involved in these two defenses, he consciously wanted to pounce on the block the moment Rose shot.
He accurately predicted the exact timing of the shot, but was held back by Ruhr Deng on the weak side. This made Thibodeau satisfied with his arrangement after the pause, and at the same time, he was more and more amazed by Wu Dawei.
While the Bulls are a defensive powerhouse at the moment, Lul Deng is also able to execute some defensive strategies. But a true defensive genius is more than just a few blocks and steals for a team's defensive system.
Wu Dawei's awareness of participating in the defense and the accuracy of grasping the timing of the defense made Xibodu a little salivating. Maybe I should consider trading?
Derrick Rose's goal represented another defensive failure for the Cavaliers, much to the frustration of Cleveland fans, as it meant that their team was once again falling behind.
Fortunately, the Cavaliers' offense tonight was quite competitive, and in the face of this team that is currently in the top three in the league's defensive efficiency list, the Cavaliers equalized the score again with a wonderful team cooperation!
Williams passed the ball to Anthony Parker, who was in the corner area on the left side of the three-point line, and then went straight down, Parker passed the ball to Antoine Jamison, who was stuck on the edge of the paint area, and Jamison hit the ground and returned the ball to Williams, who hit the ball into the basket!
The ball changed hands after another draw, but soon, the Cavaliers faced the Bulls' offense.
Rose, who has won two consecutive singles, continues to choose a heads-up opponent. He broke through Anthony Parker's defense, and this time he didn't choose to shoot but went straight inside. Vallejo arrived just in time to intercept Rose, but not the basketball.
Rose almost made a hand-to-hand pass to Joakim Noah, who had been left by Valejo.
After Noah got the ball, he kicked his legs and held the basketball high with both hands, and he saw that he was about to make a two-handed basket. At this moment, he suddenly felt that the basketball, which was as light as a feather before being held up on his head, suddenly became as heavy as Mount Tai in an instant!
Drink!
A big hat that splits the head and covers the face! Noah could no longer keep his balance in the air, and he fell, but he could see the black hair of the man in the cap!
Wu Dawei almost snatched the ball back from Noah, and the Cleveland people were ecstatic, which immediately made the quick loan center thunderous.
"Well done!"
"How this is done, it's incredible!"
"This cap is so timely!"
After Wu Dawei fell from the sky, he didn't pay attention to Joakim Noah, who was screaming in pain, he hurriedly controlled the ball in his own hands, and then passed the basketball without waiting for the Bulls players to complain to the referee. …,
Instead of passing directly to the team's point guard Williams, he threw out a long pass that spanned super long distance!
Shooting guard Anthony Parker received the ball from inside the opponent's three-point line, and it turned into a no-brainer comeback!
94:96。
"Damn it!" Thibodeau waved his hand in annoyance, but he couldn't say anything more about Atturose's choice. Because this is indeed an extraordinary pass, according to the words of the famous basketball commentator Reasonable Teacher in my country, it is old and reasonable~
It's just that Wu Dawei appeared in the place where the Cavaliers needed him the most, and the Bulls didn't want to see him the most.
The block not only boosted the morale of the Cavaliers at home, but also made an easy quick drive. But it didn't affect the Bulls' next table. Derrick Rose once again scored on offense to give the Bulls an equalizer.
96 draws, at this time the game has reached the critical moment of the last three minutes. The 45-minute game consumed a lot of body on both sides, so in the next few offensive rounds, both sides began to lose their attacking certainty.
You went back and forth for a few rounds, and the score was always scorching.
At 98:100, when the Cavaliers led by two points into the final minute of the game, Derrick Rose burst inside with the ball and then split the ball, and Bulls shooter Kyler Korver, who was ambushed outside the three-point line, scored on the outside.
Jump, shoot. Williams was completely unprepared, and the basketball had already flown out of Korver's hands.
101:100。 With 58 seconds left in the game, the Bulls once again took the lead!
“SHIT!” Scott stood on the sidelines and cursed, but he didn't ask for a timeout. Because the current performance of the players is not abnormal, but very good. Especially Wu Dawei, Scott was worried at first that Wu Dawei would be overexcited or nervous, which would cause his performance to be abnormal, but now it seems that there is no need to worry about this.
The Cavaliers started attacking after serving. Williams didn't deliberately control the time, because no matter what, both sides would have another chance to attack after this round of attack.
Wu Dawei ran inside at this time, and Jamison, who was the No. 4 position, took Carlos Boozer near the three-point line; Anthony Parker is ambushed at the bottom corner three-point line, which is his shooting hot spot; Vallejo mentioned that the high post made a pick-and-roll for Williams.
The quality of the pick-and-roll was so good that Williams was able to shake off Rose and break inside. At this time, the only Bulls player closest to the paint area was Ruel Deng, looking at Williams who was approaching the hoop, Ruel Deng did not hesitate to leave Wu Dawei and rush towards Williams.
Although Wu Dawei had a good hand in this game, Lul Deng couldn't watch Williams make an empty basket on his own inside.
In this way, Williams immediately had a defense in front of him, while Wu Dawei was temporarily empty. But Williams didn't pass the ball, he ignored Wu Dawei's gesture to wave the ball, and threw the ball to the basket as the fans gave him the nickname "Mo Bu Pass"!
smashed the basket out, and the basketball didn't look like it was in sight at all. The next second when the quick loan center was about to lament, Wu Dawei suddenly appeared! He grabbed the basketball that was about to pop and slammed his hands into the basket.
Bang!
A vigorous two-handed basket!
101:102。 The Cavaliers took back the lead at the most crucial moment!
