596. A situation that no one wants to see
The San Antonio Spurs opened the opening game by teaching the Cleveland Cavaliers a lesson.
The confidence that made them inevitable would certainly be frustrated, but after all, the Cleveland Cavaliers have the survival of a historical superstar like David Wu on the roster, so the Cleveland people don't feel particularly worried about it.
Halfway through the first quarter, the score was 18-16, and the Cleveland Cavaliers trailed by 2 points.
He used a very unexpected and extremely determined shot from beyond the three-point line to try to help the Cleveland Cavaliers flip the deficit back.
When Wu Dawei jumped up outside the three-point line, everyone in the entire quick loan center watched the ball fly with bated breath, except for Popovich, who was the head coach of the San Antonio Spurs.
He yelled for Leonard to pounce, and the latter did pounce with all his strength at this time, trying to stop Wu Dawei's projection.
But obviously it was difficult for him to succeed, because when Leonard pounced on Wu Dawei, the ball had already flown in the sky, irreversible, and he even touched Wu Dawei after landing, but the referee did not blow a foul for this.
{Leonard escaped, but the San Antonio Spurs, playing on the road, did not escape at this point, as the ball slipped into the basket with a thud.}
The score became 18-19, and the Cleveland Cavaliers, who were playing at home, relied on Wu Dawei's 11th point among the 19 points to take the advantage of the score into their own hands again. 、
It was also the first time that the Cleveland Cavaliers, playing at home, took the lead in this game tonight.
This made San Antonio Spurs head coach Popovich shake his head, but he didn't want to blame Leonard, because he knew that the latter had done everything in the game in order to be able to defend Wu Dawei's attack.
But Wu Dawei has clearly not been able to defend lightly this season. His strong play can be said to have been throughout the season, and no one can hold off his attacks.
Even the best defender was like a puff of air in front of Wu Dawei, and he couldn't do anything to hinder him at all.
Things are not good for the San Antonio Spurs, but the good news is that their momentum in this night's game is extremely strong.
So maybe they can rely on their own offense to flip back the current disadvantage, which is very important.
For the San Antonio Spurs, if they can stay ahead, they will have a better chance of winning this game on the road.
However, if they can't continue their strong attack in this game, they won't be able to defend against Wu Dawei's attack. The San Antonio Spurs will immediately become precarious.
Of course, this is not what Popovich wants to see, but at this moment, his expression is grim, and he looks at the shape on the basketball court with a sad and gloomy meaning.
"Oh! It's Wu Dawei again! ”
Charles sitting on the sidelines. From time to time, Barkley remembers to come out and show his sense of survival, especially when David Wu has played extremely well. Barkley screamed even more.
As a big fan of David Wu, Charles. Naturally, Barkley is unlikely to let go of any time that can be touted as Wu Dawei.
"We all know that David Wu has always been able to perform the most amazing this season when the team needs him most, not only in the regular season and playoffs, but now even more so in the finals!"
Although the San Antonio Spurs must have made targeted arrangements for Wu Dawei before the game. But now the first quarter of the game hasn't even been played, and Wu Dawei has already scored 11 points alone! It looks like tonight is going to be another crazy night, but for David Wu's super watch in the playoffs. I think most of us are used to it. ”
"Yes, 42 points per game, God! Even Michael. Jordan can't do it either! ”
Kenny. Smith didn't forget to echo the praise at this time.
At this time, the atmosphere inside the entire quick loan center. With Charles. Barkley described it pretty much the same, although people are used to Wu Dawei's superwatch this season, but at this time. The Clevelands in the room cheered.
After all, they don't want to see the team at a disadvantage. Therefore, at this time, they naturally hope that the team can still be the dominant side in the game, rather than the passive side chasing the score.
After all, the gap between the two is still huge, and for Clevelands, who are Cavaliers fans, they certainly don't want to see the team in a situation of disadvantage.
And Wu Dawei's excellent performance was undoubtedly ecstatic for Cleveland fans at this time, and when Wu Dawei overtook the score with a three-pointer, the San Antonio Spurs also quickly organized an attack.
They will certainly be hoping to regain their lead, which is a rare opportunity on the road.
They didn't want to miss it, so at this point, when the ball was converted, the San Antonio Spurs' offense was also extremely aggressive, which caught the Cleveland Cavaliers a little off guard.
Tim. Duncan helped the San Antonio Spurs back up the lead with a mid-range shot to make it 20-19, and it was clear that the game was still in full swing.
Managers of either side would not want to see such a thing happen, because no matter what, both sides of the game still want the situation to be clearer.
Because only in this way can both sides better control the situation of the game, after all, the team and the fans have different ideas.
Fans want to see the best of the game, and for the teams in the game, they want to beat their opponents as quickly as possible.
However, of course, the original intention of the two is exactly the same. It's just that we all want to win the game, but the process is slightly different.
For the Cleveland Cavaliers, being caught up in a situation against the San Antonio Spurs at this point is not what they want.
So they are naturally very dissatisfied, and in the opening game of this finals, they must be extremely dissatisfied with their performance so far.
So they're doing everything they can to change that situation, and there's nothing more important for the Cleveland Cavaliers right now than when they win Game 1 of the Finals.
In the playoffs this season, they have an advantage at the start of the series. It's what the Cleveland Cavaliers do most often; Again, as an opponent of the Cleveland Cavaliers, this is also the thought and goal of the San Antonio Spurs in this game tonight. After all, they are the more underdog when they play away from home, and before that, the Cleveland Cavaliers have played such an epic game, for them, against such an epic team, they naturally want to be able to take the lead as quickly as possible, so as not to have too many dreams.
After all, the Cleveland Cavaliers have shown themselves this season. It's amazing, so even the San Antonio Spurs, the league's oldest powerhouse, are gasping for breath.
They needed something to put themselves a little bit more at ease and win the first game. That's undoubtedly what the San Antonio Spurs are aiming for at this time.
And their own momentum in this game tonight is indeed very good, and the form is also caught off guard by the Cleveland Cavaliers.
So it's fair to say that in tonight's game, the San Antonio Spurs have found an opportunity to win the game.
That's their own excellent form tonight, although they can't defend against the attacks of David Wu and the Cleveland Cavaliers. But at least the San Antonio Spurs' own performance is pretty impressive.
They will be hoping to use that form to win on the road, although the San Antonio Spurs know it won't be easy. But they're going to try it anyway.
And now, trying to keep them ahead of the curve is the most important thing; Tim. Duncan's mid-range shooting helped the San Antonio Spurs regain the lead, but Popovich began to yell hysterically on the sidelines again: "Defend, go back to defending!" Don't give them a chance to break fast! ”
"Coach Popovich looked like a hairy kid who has only been in charge of the team for a few days tonight, and he looks really impetuous."
Faced with such a Popovich, Charles. Barkley also didn't miss any opportunity to tease, but no one cared what he said at this time.
There is a fierce competition on the basketball court, Wu Dawei took over the pass from his teammates again at this time, but in fact, he was already a little tired, although the game only played for 6 minutes, but in these 6 minutes, Wu Dawei was in a state of indiscriminate bombing.
Whether it is on the offensive end or on the defensive end, Wu Dawei has done everything he can to help the Cleveland Cavaliers, and this kind of performance has been going on for a long time in this season's playoffs.
The accumulated fatigue seemed to be about to explode, which made him very painful, but at this point, he knew that he could not rest, because the team needed his score to turn the score back again.
For Wu Dawei, the only thing he wants to do now is indeed to help his team to get the score advantage back.
The Quick Loan Center is the home of the Cleveland Cavaliers, but it is its own turf, how can a group of outsiders show off their power here.
This is Wu Dawei's thoughts and thoughts at this time, so of course, he just hopes to help the Cleveland Cavaliers to regain the advantage of the score.
But it won't be easy, because the San Antonio Spurs will definitely be keeping a close eye on Wu Dawei, although Wu Dawei scored 11 points with a goal not conceded in the previous game.
But every time he faced Leonard, Wu Dawei certainly felt the pressure. Maybe Leonard alone can't cause too much trouble for Wu Dawei, but it does make Wu Dawei sometimes unprepared.
After all, Leonard's own physical condition is extremely good, and he is naturally a huge threat to Wu Dawei.
Especially his long arms, in front of Wu Dawei, he was like a spider with open limbs, but of course Wu Dawei was still full of confidence.
After all, in the previous games, he has always let Leonard be played around. So at this time, for Wu Dawei, he is not afraid of the latter's defense.
It's just that when Wu Dawei gets past Leonard's defense, he is likely to continue to encounter obstacles, which is the most important thing.
But he still resolutely launched an attack at this time. Because he had scored 11 points on 5-of-5 shooting, for Wu Dawei, now that he feels so hot, he certainly has no reason not to continue to score for the team, and the Cleveland Cavaliers are indeed in great need of Wu Dawei's table now.
After all, the situation is very anxious now, and Wu Dawei is the best person in the current state of the Cleveland Cavaliers lineup playing at home.
So naturally the team will rely more on his table, and Wu Dawei is of course very clear about this, so at this time, after he got the ball. Naturally, I was thinking about how to complete this attack.
It's important that he doesn't want to give the San Antonio Spurs too much time to take the lead, and the Cleveland Cavaliers still want to regain the lead. 、
And Wu Dawei's offense won't let the Clevelanders feel disappointed, once again. He exploited and Dwight. Howard's high post pick-and-roll made a jump shot, and then he threw the ball into the basket.
The score will be rewritten again to 20-21. The Cleveland Cavaliers, playing at home, are once again the leading side.
But their lead wasn't enough to let their guard down at this point, as the San Antonio Spurs were quick to attack and the anxiety continued.
And for such a case. Whether it's Byron. Scott or Popovich are frowning on the sidelines, because neither wants to be the underdog of the other side, so at this time, of course, they are all thinking about how to deal with the current situation.
It doesn't matter if it's Popovich or Byron. Scott, of course, doesn't want to see the situation between the two sides anxious together, so at this time, whether it is for either of the two of them, he hopes to do everything he can to completely control the advantage of the game in his own hands.
Popovich was annoyed with the team's defense, and as the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Byron Brown. Scott may not have had such an idea at this time.
After all, the Cleveland Cavaliers are playing at home, but at this time, they have been anxious with the San Antonio Spurs, and this situation is not what he expected before the game.
So at this point, Byron. Of course, Scott is feeling anxious, and he doesn't want the team to play a back-and-forth game against the San Antonio Spurs on his home turf, because there is not much security for him in such a game.
So at this time, for Byron. Scott, of course, still wants the team to try to take advantage of the score as much as possible.
But obviously it wasn't going to be easy in tonight's game, as the San Antonio Spurs were in great form.
This makes the situation that the Cleveland Cavaliers are facing at this time not so good, although Wu Dawei's excellent performance has given the Cleveland people more confidence.
However, the excellent form of the San Antonio Spurs has also given them confidence when playing away from home, and they certainly will not choose to give up so lightly.
As a result, throughout the first quarter of the game, although the Cleveland Cavaliers have been doing their best to open up the score gap, the San Antonio Spurs are stubbornly relying on not letting the Cleveland people go.
The anxious situation was watched throughout the first quarter of the game, and the Cleveland Cavaliers felt helpless about it; And San Antonio Spurs head coach Popovich doesn't like such a scene, but obviously for the San Antonio Spurs, such a situation is already very good.
For them, before the start of this game, people even thought that they could not threaten the Cleveland Cavaliers in the slightest bit in this game, but now, they obviously made the Cleveland Cavaliers feel very uncomfortable, and even took the advantage of the score into their own hands at one point!
For the San Antonio Spurs, if they can continue to show such a thing, then the San Antonio Spurs may not have the slightest chance of winning the game in this game tonight. (To be continued......) I1292
