668. The Effect of the Change [II]
Byron. Scott has confidence in his own arrangements in the previous timeout, Byron. Scott clearly saw some results after the timeout.
Because Wu Dawei gave Tony, who had been shooting well before, in his first defense after returning to the basketball court. Parker was a fierce horseman.
Tony. Parker felt that something was wrong, so he chose to pass the ball in that attack, and now, when Tony . When Parker faced Wu's defense again, there was no doubt that he would still feel his heart palpitating.
So that's definitely going to affect Tony. Parker's feelings in this attack, he may not be as resolute as he was in the previous attack, because he is worried that he will not be able to get rid of Wu Dawei.
That's why in the Western Conference playoffs, Kaulwaii, who averaged 17 points per game for the San Antonio Spurs. Leonard, under the defense of Wu Dawei, will become ineffective in the finals.
That's Wu Dawei's defense, and when the MVP of the last two seasons of the Finals stands in front of you, that kind of pressure can make you feel uncomfortable.
So at this time, for Byron. As far as Scott is concerned, he will naturally become more and more confident; But apparently he couldn't just be happy about it at this point.
After all, the Cleveland Cavaliers are still the bottom line on the basketball court, and if they want to win this game, then they will have to play even better.
This is important because the Cleveland Cavaliers have no choice at this time, and playing on someone else's home court will put a lot more pressure on them.
And at this point, Tony with the ball. Parker's pressure was no less than that of the Clevelands, as he once again felt the oppressive force from Wu Dawei up close.
He holds the ball at the top of the arc, and for Tony. Parker, he had to make a decision at this point. How to choose the attack on the basket.
He didn't immediately ask his teammates to do the pick-and-roll for him, and apparently the previous experience made Tony. Parker was a little hesitant.
He tried to single-handedly pick up Wu Dawei's defense, but apparently it was a bit of a fool's dream. Once again, Parker understood this.
Because Wu Dawei is not the previous Carey in his defense. Irving was able to compare that, although Kyrie. Irving is also a very good player, but apparently Kyrie is also a very good player. Owen is not an offensive and defensive being.
And Wu Dawei is such a player, so, when Tony. Parker faced the defense of David Wu with Tony. Parker's defense is under very different pressure.
So at this time. Tony. Parker once again wavered from his determination to attack the basket, and he once again chose to pass the ball.
This time it's even more crisp than the last, because Tony. Parker didn't even ask his teammates for a pick-and-roll, he just opted for a pass.
And at this point, Tony. Parker's pass was the target of Wu Dawei's previous defense, Kaulai. Leonard!
At this time, Kaovai, who was free from the shackles of Wu Dawei. Leonard looked excited after receiving the pass, perhaps because he finally didn't have to face Wu Dawei's defense anymore.
Danny. Although Green is not much shorter than Wu Dawei, it is clear that the two men give Kaovai a lot on the defensive end. The oppressive force that Leonard brought was very different.
Naturally, in such a situation. Kaovai. Leonard doesn't hesitate when he receives a pass from a teammate.
When he picked up Tony. After Parker's pass, he faced Danny. Green's defense, he didn't hesitate to attack!
Although in the confrontation with Wu Dawei, Kaovai. Leonard's tonnage is at a disadvantage and disadvantage. But in the face of Danny at this time. Green, he clearly had the upper hand.
He was like Wu Dawei beat him in the past, and crushed Danny. Green, relying on his strong body.
San Antonio Spurs fans in at@t Center Arena were on a rollercoaster ride in an amusement park tonight. The mood is up and down.
Kaovai. Leonard looked confident at this point, like two very different people from when he faced Wu Dawei's defense before.
He threw the ball out to the cheers of the San Antonio Spurs fans and made a pull-up jumper. Danny. Green did his best, but he couldn't stop Cowai. Leonard's projection this time.
"He's confident!"
Kenny sitting on the sidelines in front of the commentary booth. Smith exclaimed at this point, and it was clear that he was a confirmed supporter of the San Antonio Spurs in this game tonight.
But when the ball came from Couwai. After Leonard's hand flew out, it turned out to be with Kenny. Smith was thinking differently.
The ball flew out and smacked on the basket, with a thud. Leonard shook off space to shoot, but he clearly didn't take advantage of such an opportunity.
"Oh! Although Wu Dawei no longer defends against Kaovai. Leonard, but apparently his defensive impact is still there, and Kaulvay, who hasn't touched the ball on the offensive end for a long time. Leonard isn't in a good state at this point. β
Charles. Barkley tried his best to praise Wu Dawei at this time, although Covaj. Leonard's shot this time Wu Dawei was not directly involved in the offense, but he was also able to say something related to Wu Dawei.
While sitting Charles. Kenny next to Barkley. Smith was noncommittal, but he couldn't argue with it.
Because it may be a bit related, after all, if a person doesn't touch the ball for a long time on the offensive end, it does cool down the player's state.
And in the previous match, Kauai. Leonard, because he was defended by Wu Dawei, did receive a pass on the offensive end and had very few chances.
So at this time, it's understandable that he's not in a good state; But at this point, when the ball slammed into the basket, the rebound was won by Cleveland Cavaliers center Dwight Brown. Howard got it in his pocket.
This is an opportunity!
The moment the ball was converted, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who had been at a disadvantage in this game tonight, ushered in an opportunity!
Now they are only three points behind their opponents. And now Dwight. Howard stole the ball for them one more time, and for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they naturally gained the opportunity to continue to close the gap between the two sides.
At this time, Wu Dawei is undoubtedly the first choice for the Cleveland Cavaliers to hold the ball. After Howard got the ball, he also chose to pass the ball to Wu Dawei's hands as soon as possible.
After all, Wu Dawei is obviously the most confident person in the Cleveland Cavaliers lineup, so at this time, the other players of the Cleveland Cavaliers will naturally be very conscious of opening up the space for Wu Dawei to play singles.
They don't have much to think about playing together, and in many cases, when the score is anxious, trying to find a match can sometimes be really not as good as the stars alone.
Going it alone is a better option, and it's not something that goes unnoticed. So at this time, when Wu Dawei was holding the ball, Kaulai. Leonard, however, suddenly lost the confidence he had on the offensive end.
He allowed Wu Dawei to score 17 points in the game of going to work, and at the same time, after the start of the second half of the game, Wu Dawei had also scored 10 points in a row.
For Couwai. As far as Leonard is concerned, his self-confidence in the task of defending Wu Dawei can be said to be basically absent in the previous two games, as well as tonight's game that is not over.
The reason why San Antonio Spurs head coach Popovich still puts him in front of Wu Dawei at this time. It's because of Kaovai. Leonard is Popovich's only option, and he is the best forward for the San Antonio Spurs, who is also known for his defense.
So even if Popovich knew that he couldn't defend Wu Dawei, he had no choice. It's a depressing thing, especially for San Antonio.
And at this time Kauvai. Leonard himself also understands this truth very well, so he knows that he has to face Wu Dawei head-on no matter what.
He doesn't want to disappoint his coach. Disappointing his teammates, and the tens of thousands of San Antonio fans behind him.
Although his defense has disappointed them, but despite this. Kaovai. Leonard is also absolutely unlikely to give up such a defense.
He will do his best to face every attack of Wu Dawei, as long as he remains on the basketball court.
He missed a good scoring opportunity in the previous offense, which was an even more fatal blow to the San Antonio Spurs. Leonard, for his part, knew he had to make amends for such a "mistake".
So even though he knows that it is difficult for him to limit Wu Dawei's play on the offensive end, he will still do his best to do his best!
In order to be able to contain Wu Dawei, he is already willing to do anything at this time!
At this time, Wu Dawei, who received the ball, will not hesitate to do anything for such an attack, because this is one of the few opportunities for the Cleveland Cavaliers, who have fallen behind throughout the game.
Such an opportunity is hard-won, so as the core and leader of the team, Wu Dawei will also do whatever it takes to score such a goal!
He attacked, and Kauvai. Leonard also rushed head-on, and the two of them approached quickly in a very short period of time, whether it was for Wu Dawei or Covay. For Leonard, these are times where there is no room for retreat.
Everyone has to work 100% hard for this, in order to achieve the goal they want, so at this time, both of them are doing their best.
Almost in the blink of an eye, David Wu and Covay. Leonard was on the verge of colliding together, but Wu didn't let it happen.
With the ball in his hands, he appeared to be flexible at this point, and he did not choose to play with Kaulai as before. Leonard came to a hard-fought battle on the body, but suddenly with a flash of the ball, a tremor between the wrists, a very sudden disguise helped him, and at the same time made Kawwai. Leonard was instantly stunned!
Everyone didn't expect that Wu Dawei would make such a move, and it was a sudden disguise in the movement of suing sΓΉ!
It was a surprise to everyone that Covay. Leonard braked the car like a sports car rushing over, but he still let Wu Dawei quickly pass by him, and then smashed into the paint area!
Wu Dawei will not hesitate at all at this time, after all, this is the best opportunity the Cleveland Cavaliers have gotten so far in this game tonight!
Wu Dawei wanted to seize such an opportunity, he could almost be said to have encountered no obstacles, that is, he jumped directly in the paint area!
Tim. Duncan & Diego. Split wanted to come up to make up for the defense, but it was too late at this time, and Wu Dawei's speed was very fast, which surprised everyone!
When they came back to their senses, Wu Dawei was already in the air above the paint area and stretched out his arms!
Then, there was a shocking violent slam dunk!
With a bang, the ball was smashed into the basket, and the score was rewritten again, and the difference in points was only the last point!
All the San Antonios present were stunned, but the game continued, but at this time, although the ball was back in the hands of the San Antonio Spurs, only the cheers of the Cleveland Cavaliers could be heard on the basketball court!
They are only one point behind now, and the opportunity has really come!
Looking at the happy faces of the Cleveland people, they can't help but worry the San Antonios, because a picture suddenly appeared in front of them, which was the last game!
How could the result of such a defeat be so easily forgotten by the San Antonios?!
They still remember it vividly, it was like a nightmare that came out of the deepest recesses of their memories.
But for now, they can only face it and face such an outcome, and for the San Antonio Spurs, at least they have a one-point advantage right now, right...... (To be continued......)
