96. James of Might
The third quarter was the turning point of the game. After a fifteen-minute break, the Cavaliers extended their lead as soon as they came up, and the double-digit margin made the Miamins worry and disappoint.
Spoelstra called a timeout, but it didn't work out too well. Because LeBron James didn't listen to him at all, Spoelstra never felt so frustrated. But he only had two choices, either endure or get out of class.
Pat Riley, although a mentor to the Filipinos, is a very simple question to choose between Spoelstra and LeBron James.
After the one-minute timeout, the Heat made no other personnel changes except for the Heat's replacement of Michael Miller, who they signed this summer with the mid-range.
Anyway, he still went his own way in the game, and he kept attacking Wu Dawei's defense, as if he was tireless. This kind of duel makes the two of them consume a lot of body, and slowly, the action becomes more and more fighting.
David Wu and LeBron James both received two fouls each in the third quarter. The fire of the game also slowly burned, and this was a high-profile game in itself, so the atmosphere on the scene became tense.
With 4 minutes left in the third quarter, he was replaced by head coach Byron Scott, who had 12 points and grabbed 8 rebounds, as well as 2 blocks and 4 steals, as well as 3 assists!
And when Wu Dawei went off the court, LeBron James only scored a measly 4 points in the third quarter, and 6 of 16 shots were James' shooting percentage tonight, and anyone could see that James was not the best tonight.
And this qiē is almost entirely due to the Chinese player Wu Dawei, who was responsible for keeping LeBron James on the whole game. Therefore, when Wu Dawei was replaced by head coach Byron Scott on the court in the third quarter, the quick loan center burst into applause.
Fans thanked Wu for his contribution in the third quarter of the game, as it made them happy. For Cleveland fans right now, there's nothing more refreshing than seeing James deflated.
"Well done, young man, go get some rest, we have a fourth quarter to play! I need you to play like this in the last moments of the game! ”
Byron Scott patted him on the ass as he passed by him on his way off the field, and it was clear that not only the fans, but also the head coach were very happy with Wu's performance tonight.
After Wu Dawei was replaced by the head coach, it didn't take long for LeBron James to be replaced by Heat coach Spoelstra to rest.
LeBron James was in a bad mood as he walked to the sidelines and was stopped by head coach Spoelstra as he walked past him.
Spoelstra as the team's head coach is, of course, the last person he wants to lose, because his position has been in jeopardy lately, so he decided to talk to the superstar even if he doesn't have a good relationship with LeBron James.
So, as James walked up to him, in a moment of passing by, Spoelstra grabbed James and then said to him, "Hey, LeBron." I know this game is going to mean a lot to you, but I hope you can make a difference in the fourth quarter. If you want to win this game. ”
James glanced at the Filipino, "I don't need you to teach me how to play!" Then he walked up to the bench.
This scene was naturally captured by reporters on the sidelines, who said that LeBron James is always the focus of attention on the court. His every move was naturally magnified under a microscope. …,
The media have recorded this scene, apparently having already thought about the core content of the article.
For example...... Infighting?
Since Wu Dawei was mentioned by head coach Byron Scott from the bench lineup, the Cavaliers' bench lineup is no longer as good as it was before the start of this season.
Joy Graham is a player who has enough quality to play as a starter, but it is also an indisputable fact that he cannot help the team with defense like Wu Dawei. Despite his strong physique, he is still too mediocre.
So, in the bench time between the third and fourth quarters, the Cavaliers didn't widen the difference. Still 10 points ahead of the Miamins.
And less than two minutes into the fourth quarter, LeBron James was back on the line!
Still appeared in the midst of a barren boo, LeBron James had a gloomy expression and scored four points in a row as soon as he got on the court!
72:78。
In an instant, the difference was reduced to 6 points.
Head coach Byron Scott was taken aback by the futile narrowing of the margin and glanced up at the clock clock, where there were 10 minutes left.
Such a time is completely contrary to what he has planned, but the current situation is a bit of a crisis, and Scott can only improvise.
He beckoned to the bench and called Wu Dawei to his side. LeBron James struggled throughout the game, and Byron Scott didn't dare to let the league number one get back into shape in the final quarter.
You know, it's not as safe as it seems. Now, did the Miamins score four straight points from James to narrow the gap to six?
Scott told Wu that his first task on the court was still to defend James and try his best to save the result of the game.
But a superstar has opened up which is so good to defend, not to mention LeBron James's physical prime, far above Wu Dawei.
Although Wu Dawei tried his best to defend James several times after he came on the court, but James frequently fired outside the three-point line, and he even sometimes put the ball to the basket when he was still one step away from the three-point line.
And this kind of ball, he can score!
The anxiety of the situation on the field forced the managers of both sides to start sending the main players on the pitch one after another.
With 4 minutes left in the fourth quarter, LeBron James hit a pull-up jump shot that would dodge Wu Dawei's big hand and hit the ball!
At this time, the score has been equalized by the Miamis, 88:88!
"Wow, the Cavaliers led the whole game, but they were equalized by James at the last minute! The power of the superstar was on display in the final quarter, where he scored a terrifying 12 points! ”
Of course, more attention was paid to how David Wu would respond to him than James' stunning fourth-quarter performance.
After all, the suzhì he showed tonight was more than just a surprise.
