Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The two sides were on the streets, the Clippers couldn't attack for a long time, and the Cavaliers were firmly guarding the advantage on the court. The 6 points really became a river of heaven, making it difficult for the Clippers to take a step forward at home.
But if this step can't be taken, then it will undoubtedly be impossible for the Clippers to win this game! Head coach Negro called a timeout, and with about three minutes left in the third quarter, the score was 68-62, and the Los Angeles Clippers still trailed by six points after attacking the Cavaliers.
The only difference from the start of the second half is that time is running out.
After the pause, both sides made some adjustments in personnel. In the previous table xiàn is not bad champion show Kaili. Owen, re-coached by head coach Byron. Scott put on the pitch. Wu Dawei, who had played 9 minutes before, was still not replaced by the head coach.
Although the Los Angeles Clippers have never talked about the point difference between the two sides to catch up, it is also because of this that Byron. Scott was even more afraid to take it lightly.
And after returning from the timeout, the Los Angeles Clippers who are playing at home have not made any personnel changes, and it is clear that the head coach of the Clippers Nigro also wants to have a chance to shoot. Taking advantage of this time period, the Cavaliers made changes to the lineup to close the score.
However, it is clear that when the pause comes, Negro's "wishful thinking" calculation is completely empty. Scott just swapped out a defensive sapper. He was replaced by a more dangerous player on the offensive end.
The Clippers have their own little calculations, and neither does the Cavaliers. After all, they are playing away. In the cautious area, it must be more important, because this is an away game, and any careless underestimation of the enemy is likely to immediately make the Cavaliers capsize in the gutter.
The game soon resumed, and although the Clippers were in control of the ball, the fans in Los Angeles were still apprehensive. Because the Clippers have become more and more inconsistent on the offensive end, and even if they score this goal, it will not necessarily reduce the score. Because they also have to have a successful defense to contain the Cleveland Cavaliers' offense.
But Wu Dawei has always been able to make the Los Angeles Clippers take care of one or the other on the defensive end. This is the most annoying thing for the Los Angeles Clippers, and they also know that if they can't contain Wu Dawei tonight, then they want to win a bit of a fantasy, but it is not easy to really defend Wu Dawei and prevent him from helping the Cavaliers play on the offensive end.
Because the Clippers chose to flank or not to flank Wu Dawei tonight. It is always impossible to contain Wu Dawei's efficiency on the offensive end. If you flank him, he passes, and if you don't, he attacks individually. And due to his good form tonight, Wu Dawei has maintained a good hand, and has scored 28 points so far, while also having 8 assists.
And now, the game is not even over in the third quarter. Blake. Griffin had already given up the idea of catching up with Wu Dawei on his personal watch. He was more on how to help the Los Angeles Clippers win tonight's home game.
At least the victory or defeat of himself and Wu Dawei in the duel should be 1:2, so as to give himself more motivation. Blindly losing will not have any positive effect on motivation, on the contrary, it will easily make players lose momentum, and even have some fear for it.
The current offense is also quite important, and Chris. Paul is still the core commander of the Clippers on the court. He's easy to get attention with the ball in the high post. At halftime, however, there was a dark tide, no matter how the Clippers tried to tie the six-point gap in the next time. First they have to score the ball and then go back and defend again.
Paul motioned for Griffin and Jordan to come to the high post and make a double block for himself at the top of the three-point arc, and then Paul drove the ball down Griffin's side, so that Vallejo didn't dare to go too far from Griffin, because the two had already had many aerial performances before that.
And this time, Paul didn't mean to pass the ball at all, he dribbled the ball quickly, and then scored with a pull-back jumper!
At 68:64, the margin came to 4 points again, but the hearts of Los Angeles fans did not fall, because the Cleveland Cavaliers offense followed. If the Cavaliers' next offense can't be stopped, the Clippers' previous goals will be useless, because the margin will return to six points again.
Billups regained control of the ball, and while the Cavaliers' playmaker had a good performance in tonight's game, he was getting older, and with that came a lack of fitness and a constant decline, after he had been on the court for nine minutes in a row. Scott left him on the pitch and Billups did suffer a little physically.
He no longer held the ball in his hands after half court as before, constantly organizing his teammates to run in the front court, but after half time, he observed the shape on the court, and after finding that there were no too good opportunities, he passed the ball to Carey on the flank. Irving.
The champion showed that he had just come on the court, and it was when he was hungry and thirsty, and after winning the ball, he was facing Morris in front of him. Williams attacked! And Carey. Williams in front of Irving is also like a big enemy.
Although Williams has never been known for his defense in this league, tonight was an exception, and he was as active on the defensive end as he usually was on the offensive end, but the effect was not particularly good and obvious, because the Clippers played against the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight.
Once Williams thought he could be the master of the team!
Carey. The speed of Irving's breakthrough was extremely fast, and Williams was also an inch. Gritting his teeth and chasing after Owen, he swore that he would not let Owen score so lightly.
But Owen is still behind the street of two people. Finding a good opportunity to break through, and he wouldn't let such an opportunity slip away from him, Owen leaned on Williams' body and rushed inside.
Williams was already out of position in this defense, but he didn't give up on defending either. Because he also knows the importance of this defense, there is only one reason why coach Negro has not replaced them at this time, and he has been trying to equalize or even overtake the score.
If there is one team that wants to win against Wu Dawei and the Cavaliers the most, it is Blake. Griffin, then Morris. Williams must be the one who thinks second! So at this point, even if it's a little bit behind Carey. Owen has some positions. But Williams still didn't give up on defense.
While Irving attacked from the flank, rushed into the paint and jumped up under everyone's watchful eye, Williams was also in Kerry. Owen jumped up behind him! The two of them took off in the paint area one after the other, attracting everyone's attention.
Irving jumped up and stretched out his right hand with the ball, and he went into the paint from the wing to end the offense with a blue pick, but the basketball had just escaped from Kyrie. Owen's hand flew up, and Owen saw an arm appear from behind him.
Williams straightened his right arm. But the basketball was flying farther and farther in his eyes, and it was about to be out of his reach, Williams was unwilling, he roared angrily, and the ball that was about to be out of his control was finally touched by Williams!
Although it was only a gentle touch by the tips of Williams' fingers. But it was enough to change the trajectory of the ball's flight, and the ball that was originally flying to the basket flew directly forward after being touched by Williams, and the arc was no longer so high and full, and it hit the front of the basket headlong!
Didn't go in!
The cheers of Angelenos followed. Because they finally see the hope of catching up with the point difference!
But the cheers had just begun, but a surprise scene occurred on the court. The basketball slammed out of the basket. Blake. Griffin, DeAndrew. Jordan was all ready to grab the rebound. But the basketball had just popped out of the hoop, and it was firmly grasped in the air by a pair of big yellow hands in front of everyone!
Then, with a bang, the Staples Center Arena, which had just been hoarse, became silent when the time came!
Wu Dawei's well-timed dunk helped the Cleveland Cavaliers maintain a six-point gap, and at the same time, it also shattered the mood of the Los Angeles people who had just flown up......
70:64, the difference is still 6 points. This inevitably gloomed the mood of Los Angeles fans who fell from heaven to hell. With less than 3 minutes left in the third quarter, even Clippers head coach Nigro touched his forehead helplessly and shook his head.
Falling short at the last minute is often more frustrating than a situation that was bad in the first place.
Looking at the Clippers players on the court with disappointed expressions on their faces, and on the contrary, the Cavaliers players who looked very happy, Nigro stood on the sidelines with a growing sense of bad premonition.
The Clippers really used up all their energy to catch up with the six-point game, and it seems that they have only trailed the Cleveland Cavaliers by so many points since the first half, but they have never been able to catch up with such a few points.
That's more than trailing the opponent by two or three dozen points at the start, and it also makes the Los Angeles Clippers players feel tired. Because this difference is only a little bit, if you don't try to catch up, you will definitely be unwilling; But now that you've been chasing for so long, if you don't chase like this, you'll definitely be even more unwilling......
Such a tangled affection is reflected in the hearts of almost every Los Angeles Clippers player at this time. so that they may not be able to speak of their suffering.
The game continued, and the Cavaliers relied on Wu Dawei's rebound to regain their six-point lead, and when the ball returned to the Los Angeles Clippers, their offense was clearly not as sharp as before.
Chris. Paul passed the ball to Cuarón after a couple of probing attempts failed. Butler. Butler held the ball to face Wu Dawei's defense, and before he could start attacking, he was cut off by Wu Dawei in front of him!
Wu Dawei stood less than one step away from Butler, and the moment he found that Butler was looking for help from his teammates, Wu Dawei stretched out his right hand lightning and slapped the ball out of Butler's hand with a snap!
The ball was firmly controlled by Wu Dawei, and the Cavaliers turned defense into offense. They are a team that is very good at playing defensive counter-attacks, and Wu Dawei quickly launched an attack on the shallow singer after winning the ball.
The Cavaliers quickly formed a situation of playing more and less in the frontcourt, and the Clippers' defense at this time took care of one or the other, which made it easy for the Cavaliers to complete the offense.
From heaven to hell, it took the Los Angeles Clippers less than half a minute, and before they were indulging in the fantasy that maybe we had a chance to tie the score, but now, just half a minute later, they are facing a situation that has become eight points behind!
What could be more uncomfortable!?
At 72:64, the Cavaliers were in a position but difficult to pull away, but now, the situation seems to have changed a lot. The Los Angeles Clippers' change in love isn't just bothering them, it's also giving the Cleveland Cavaliers an opportunity.
Of course, the Cavaliers have to take advantage of this hard-won opportunity, the Los Angeles Clippers have been chasing hard behind before, and the Cleveland Cavaliers are quite tired in front of them.
After the margin became 8 points, the ball was back in the hands of the Los Angeles people. However, at this time, the morale of the Clippers can be said to be relatively low. And Clippers head coach Negro also began to put his main players on the bench to rest. Scott is also preparing to bring Chauncey. Billups and others were substituted on the pitch.
However, these 8 points were not the final difference at the end of the third quarter, when the third quarter ended, the score had become 76:66, and it had reached double digits!
And at this time, Wu Dawei was even beaten by head coach Byron. Scott is on the pitch! Obviously, the head coach of the Cavaliers wants to directly defeat the Los Angeles Clippers, who have been so tenacious until now.
And the double-digit margin was already a gap that could not be ignored in the fourth quarter. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for the recommendation, monthly pass,.
