ps:Forget jì said that the update time has changed.,It's now 7 o'clock in the morning and 12 o'clock at noon, and there is a change at 6 o'clock in the evening~Finally, I ask you for some recommendations, subscriptions and favorites~

76ers head coach Doug Murphy. After seeing Scott bring Wu Dawei to the court, Collins quickly made adjustments accordingly. Although he is also well aware that the current Cavaliers are facing the dilemma of personnel inadequacy, he has no intention of taking it lightly.

Because Wu Dawei is growing into a player who is becoming more and more influential in the game. In the first quarter, Wu Dawei still played well, and it seemed that he was one of the few Cavaliers players on the Cavaliers team who were not affected by the trade.

So, Doug. Collins replaced the Argentinian Nozioni, who was going to play against Wu Dawei in this game, on the court. Nozioni has not been able to show anything since he was rewarded with a big hat by Wu Dawei in the first quarter.

At this time, the coach sent the Argentine on the field, and Nozioni also knew very well that it was to stop Wu Dawei. As for Wu Dawei, Nozioni has heard too much about him this season. even heard some calluses in his ears, because Wu Dawei is too popular this season.

David Wu replaces Joey. Graham, while Nozioni came on the pitch, bringing the original team's substitute No. 3 to Ceddeus. Yang, up to the fourth position. In this way, the relationship between the two people is still in opposition to each other.

In Ramon. After Sessions was temporarily adjusted to the lineup by head coach Scott, the Cavaliers' backup point guard was played by Gibson, and this small shooter has not played the No. 1 position temporarily, so he is naturally not unfamiliar.

It's just that the cooperation with Wu Dawei is not Ramon. Sessions is so skillful.

The Cavaliers were able to be beaten 9:2 by the opponent at the beginning of the second quarter, and it can't all be counted as a coincidence, and the Cavaliers do have a gap with the 76ers in terms of strength when the old man has gone and the new man has not arrived.

So tonight, of course, their aim is to fight this game. Not only because they are now in jeopardy for seventh place in the Eastern Conference, but also because the 76ers are their most direct competitors in the race for the rankings.

With more than nine minutes left in the second quarter, the Cavaliers were trailing the 76ers by a wide margin at 35-23. But fortunately, the Cavaliers still have the ball in their hands at this time. They could have a chance to narrow the score back down to single digits in this wave of attacks.

Wu Dawei is naturally the backbone of the Cavaliers after he comes on the court, both offensively and defensively. Gibson possessed the ball after half court and handed the ball to Wu Dawei, who was standing at the top of the three-point line, but Wu Dawei was not a player who was good at holding the ball alone. Most of his scoring is done by working with his teammates.

Wu Dawei did not attack immediately after winning the ball. Instead, he motioned for Gibson to come over and catch the ball. At the same time, Wu Dawei made a block in the direction of Gibson. Wu Dawei firmly blocked the 76ers guard who was following Gibson.

At the same time, Wu Dawei did not make any pause after blocking the comer, and ran directly forward. At this point, Nozioni was caught in an awkward dilemma, and he finally chose to replace Gibson with the ball.

In this way, Wu Dawei got a gap. Gibson passed the ball over, and Wu Dawei threw it in the high post.

Got the sixth point of the game!

At 35:25, the Cavaliers narrowed the score back to 10 points.

This situation makes 76ers head coach Doug Murphy . Collins' brow furrowed. Wu Dawei is the most talked-about player among the new rising players this season, and Collins has naturally watched several videos of Wu Dawei.

Such a scene always felt familiar to him.

The 76ers quickly launched a counterattack after conceding the ball, but Wu Dawei managed to limit Nozioni's offense on the defensive end. In the one-on-one confrontation between the two, Wu Dawei won a complete victory. He harassed Nozioni's shot on the paint sideline, while protecting the backcourt rebound.

The Cavaliers had a chance to close the margin to single digits. The 10-point gap has always been an important watershed in a basketball game, and the ten people on the court know this very well, so naturally, everyone is more cautious.

Collins felt more and more familiar with such scenes. Then his mind seemed to replay some of the images he had seen in the video.

At this time, Gibson did the same again, he passed the ball to Wu Dawei, who was standing outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the left side, and then made a gesture and ran back for a moment. He rushed towards Wu Dawei again, and Wu Dawei also made another block at this time.

It's almost the last one. Wu still blocked the 76ers guard who was defending Gibson, and then split up with Gibson, and Nozioni faced such a dilemma again.

He wanted to choose to follow Wu Dawei, but Gibson had already held the ball and killed in the paint area. Although he was small, if Gibson was allowed to rush into the paint area, he would form a connection with J. Hickson. Then scoring is a sure thing. And although Wu Dawei felt good in the middle distance tonight, after all, it was far away from the basket.

Wu Dawei doesn't necessarily get the ball into it from such a distance every time. Nozioni's thinking led him to defend Gibson again, and then Wu Dawei was given another chance to shoot in the open space.

At 35:27, the Cavaliers narrowed the gap to eight points. At this time, it was only one minute before Wu Dawei came on the field.

I remember!

At this time, the head coach of the 76ers finally remembered this familiar scene. It was the Cavaliers' home win over the Pacers more than a week ago that gave the Pacers the lead in the second quarter and then forced Scott to replace David Wu on the court early in the second quarter.

Wu Dawei made full use of his team-mates on the offensive end, while on the defensive end, he relied on his strong individual ability to put pressure on the opponent's attacking arrows.

"Andrey!"

As soon as Collins thought of that game, he felt a little chill in his back at the scene in front of him, and he still underestimated the Chinese striker. He hurriedly waved to the bench and called Iguodala to his side.

"You go to defend the point guard of the Cavaliers, remember, as long as Wu Dawei goes to block and dismantle, you have to change the defense immediately! No matter what the situation, go for a change of guard! ”

Collins still has some research on Wu Dawei, knowing that Wu Dawei does not have a strong ability to attack independently on the offensive end, and most of the offense still relies on active running and wandering and cooperation with teammates.

Evan. Turner held the 76ers alive when he hit a mid-range shot to help the team back to 10 points. And this time. Iguodala took the field in place of his team-mate. As an all-round striker, Iguodala can play in the No.1 or No.3 position, and even make a makeshift cameo appearance in the No.4 position when the team is playing small-ball tactics.

Gibson looked a little overwhelmed on the offensive end against Iguodala's defense, after all, Iguodala is also a well-known defensive stalwart. Gibson is not confident that he will be able to single-handedly beat Iguodala. So he once again sought cooperation with Wu Dawei in a high position.

Can be blocked after dismantling. Gibson was similarly unconfident in the face of Nozioni, who was much taller than him. But when he turned around, he found that Wu Dawei did not run out of the gap, and Iguodala and Nozioni switched defenses. Let this block and dismantle be futile.

This was a mutated defensive strategy of the 76ers, which caught Wu Dawei off guard for a while. The Cavaliers missed their first offense after Wu Dawei came on the court, and although the 76ers didn't win on the offensive end, they still faced problems when the Cavaliers attacked again.

in the current lineup. Wu Dawei is undoubtedly the strongest point of the Cavaliers' offense, but at present, Wu Dawei's best blocking and dismantling has been stopped by the 76ers. This is a very simple cooperation, but most coaches don't pay enough attention to Wu Dawei on the offensive end, so they repeatedly let Wu Dawei find opportunities to shoot in the open position.

Wu still tried to link up with Gibson in the high post, but Iguodala and Nozioni switched defenses quickly, making it difficult for Wu to find the same opportunities as before. However, Wu Dawei also reacted quickly. Although Iguodala is similar in height to Wu Dawei, there is a big gap in tonnage.

After Wu Dawei failed to block and dismantle, he immediately drilled into the inner line, and at the same time. J.J. Hickson pulled out a bit of a bit of a position in his heart. He's got the ability to shoot in the middle.

Wu Dawei stuck Iguodala directly behind him on the inside, and at the same time, reached out to receive the ball from Gibson. Although Wu Dawei rarely hits opponents on the inside because of the impact of height restrictions, at this moment, the 76ers' interior players are attracted out of the three-second zone by Hixon. Wu Dawei did not hesitate.

Relying on the tonnage, Wu Dawei crushed Iguodala lightly, and then he made a downward turn movement the moment he stepped into the paint, and at the same time he swung the ball into the air with both hands, and Iguodala did not jump. But he was still slightly picked up by Wu Dawei.

This is your chance!

Wu Dawei hit the time difference at this time, and he jumped. Then with a half-turned small hook, add two more points to the Cavaliers. In the second quarter, he had just appeared on the court, and he had already scored 6 consecutive points for the Cavaliers!

37:29。

But in retrospect, the Cavaliers still couldn't stop the opposing team's scoring. The 76ers deliberately avoided Wu on offense, with Nozioni taking Wu to the weak side of the ball, and then Iguodala crushed Gibson, who was much shorter than him, with his ability.

The score difference is always up and down within a 10 point gap.

No matter how strong Wu Dawei is, it is impossible to defeat five on the defensive end. On the offensive end, when the opponent begins to defend Wu Dawei in a targeted manner, and there is no one around him who can share the pressure for him, then there is no doubt that Wu Dawei's efficiency on the offensive end will decline.

Cavaliers coach Scott can naturally see that when Nozioni and Iguodala came on the court one after another, Wu Dawei's offensive means were limited by them.

So Scott continued to make personnel adjustments, and in such a situation, although the second quarter was only more than 4 minutes old, Scott did not hesitate to change the players on the court one by one. This game is different from the win over the Pacers a little over a week ago, where the 76ers are in control and hold a 10-point lead that will only leave the Cavaliers in the mud if it drags on any longer. And for the Phillies it may be the key to the top eight in the East.

However, the situation encountered by the Cavaliers tonight is naturally not as simple as a lack of substitution. The team was stretched thin throughout the staff, and after the opening players returned, 76ers head coach Collins put almost all of his best players on the court.

Obviously, Doug. Collins is not going to let go of even the slightest bit of water in this game. In this battle for rankings, the Cavaliers are facing a dilemma that coach Scott has no choice but to do. But he had to take down the opponent, so he could only hope for the five starters who were now standing on the court.

Although said Ramon. Sessions is not skilled enough to work with the players, but at least he is much better than Gibson, who temporarily replaced the No. 1 position, in terms of ability and other aspects; At the same time, Jamison's play can also relieve the pressure of Wu Dawei on the offensive end, and Valejo's card position on the inside makes him protect the backcourt rebounds, which is also higher than that of the jumping man Jj Hickson.

And Anthony. Parker is also much better than the bench players in terms of impact on the outside and inside. In short, their play allowed Wu Dawei not to have to work the court alone.

But the problems faced by the Cavaliers are still very serious, and the lack of understanding between Sessions and his teammates will not be solved in a while. This situation has caused the Cavaliers to play their own games most of the time on the offensive end, except for occasional small-scale cooperation, and the stagnation of the offense makes it difficult for them to open up the current situation that is ten points behind.

Until halftime, the Cavaliers were still 10 points behind. And being able to maintain such a point difference is the result of the Cavaliers players working together. Wu Dawei scored 8 points in a single quarter in the second quarter, which became the most important reason why the Cavaliers did not rout in the first half.

Although Doug. Collins made targeted deployments for Wu Dawei's blocking and dismantling in the high position, and the change of defense did have some effect. But although Wu Dawei's current ability to attack with the ball is not strong, he still has a lot of offensive means.

Mid-range shots, cuts, runs, back-to-back hits, and thanks to Wu Dawei's active movement in the half, he can always run out of some gaps from time to time. After all, the 76ers can't make an effective change of defense every time, especially in the blocking and pick-and-roll coordination between Wu Dawei and the inside.

After all, Wu Dawei, as the No. 3 player, must be more flexible as an interior player, and although Valejo's offensive ability is not strong, if he is allowed to play against the opponent's No. 3 player who is not as tall and tonnage as the interior player, then he can also score under the basket.

So, trying to strangle a player who runs aggressively on the offensive end is tantamount to talking on paper.

Although the difference of 10 points is huge, there is still a second half to play. The Cavaliers players were frustrated, but it was clear that they weren't in despair.
