The two teams played each other in the second quarter, and neither had much of a disadvantage or a big advantage, but the Cavaliers maintained their four-point lead until the end of the second quarter.
Wu Dawei still gave the Cavaliers a lot of help in this section of the game. It was also by relying on Wu Dawei's excellent performance after returning to the game in the second quarter that the Cavaliers were able to prevent the Los Angeles people's ferocious offense.
At 54:50, the Cavaliers still led the opponent by 4 points at halftime, and Wu Dawei was the most important contributor to this. He finished the half with 16 points and seven rebounds, in addition to four assists, two blocks and two steals.
Especially in the second quarter, when the Clippers counterattacked, Wu Dawei repeatedly helped the Cleveland Cavaliers stabilize the situation on the court and played a vital role. If Wu Dawei hadn't played at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends at that time, then maybe the Cavaliers would have been surpassed by the Los Angeles Clippers playing at home at this time.
Although the lead is not much, it can give the Cleveland Cavaliers players a psychological advantage going into the second half of the game.
After the whistle blew at half-time, the two sides quickly walked off the pitch and began to return to the dressing room one after another.
"If the Los Angeles Clippers can contain some of Wu's play in the second quarter, then they will definitely not be facing such a situation now, and they should strengthen their defense against Wu. As long as Wu Dawei can be prevented, it is basically equivalent to cutting off a leg of the Cleveland Cavaliers! Wu Dawei's role in the Cavaliers has long surpassed that of others. Didn't Clippers head coach Nigro see it?"
On the sidelines of the court, for the score at the end of the first half of the game, in addition to the fans were not very satisfied, the local TV commentators in Los Angeles sitting on the sidelines naturally had a lot of complaints. Especially in the second quarter, Wu Dawei helped the Cavaliers stabilize in a row, and the Clippers didn't make too many adjustments to him, both offensively and defensively.
And apparently, Clippers head coach Negro also noticed this. At halftime, he looked at the half-time count list he got from the staff. Wu Dawei's comprehensive number was quite dazzling, and it also made Negro make up his mind to defend Wu Dawei in the second half of the game at halftime.
And in this regard, Wu Dawei, who was feasting in the locker room, didn't know at all. Back in the locker room, he slid headlong into the table and grabbed something before returning to his seat, chatting and farting with his teammates. while filling your stomach.
Although the first half of the game did not lead by many points, only four points, it was still an acceptable advantage and even made them feel good. After all, this is an away game, and being able to lead the opponent in the half of someone else's turf will not only give you a psychological advantage, but also have some psychological impact on the opponent.
It's a win-win-win- And in the second half. All the Cleveland Cavaliers have to do is play their own basketball like they did in the first half. At the same time, the only thing they need to do better than the first half of the game is to guard off the Clippers' point guard Chris. The synergy between Paul and their team's two interior players.
The aerial relay made the Los Angeles Clippers "one-shot famous" back last season, not to mention that this season has become their trademark. They're good at playing that kind of attack in the fast break. Use this to demoralize the other side.
Although the Cavaliers took care of the opponent's two interior lines in the first half, they also prevented the cooperation between them several times. However, the Clippers still completed many aerial relays. In the second half, that's the only thing the Cavaliers have to strengthen.
The Cavaliers played well overall in the first half, in addition to Wu Dawei, Billups also had 6 points and 6 assists. Owen scored 8 points, and the score was average, but Wu Dawei was the only one who scored doubles; On the Clippers' side, there are 3 people who have scored triple-doubles. Paul's 12 points and 5 assists as well as Blake's 12 points and 5 assists. Griffin's 10 points and Morris. Williams' 10 points.
Both teams had completely different goals at half-time, and the second half of the game was quickly reopened. The fifteen-minute break is not too long, but it is not too short, just enough for the players who have played 24 minutes before that to recover some of their bodies.
The battle between the two sides continued after the game restarted, and although the Clippers were on the side that fell behind in the first half, it was clear that they wanted to quickly recover the four-point deficit in the second half.
It's just that the Cavaliers can't let them get their wish so lightly, after all, this is on the road, and for the Cavaliers players, every point must be fought for to give them a tight grip on the hope of winning tonight.
The game was about to start when the two sides were back on the pitch, with neither side making any changes to their starting line-ups. Under normal circumstances, if there are no surprises, the manager will not make any changes to the lineup during the game.
Because the Clippers fought for the ball in the opening game, the Cleveland Cavaliers were the first to kick off in the second and third quarters.
Chauncey. Billups took the ball from his teammate and he met Chris at the back. Paul's tight defense, although Paul's sudden up-and-go caught Billups off guard for a while, but fortunately, the experienced Billups reacted quickly.
He quickly protected the ball, then took advantage of his teammate's pick-and-roll, shook off Paul and rushed forward. Wu Dawei had been waiting in the front court for a long time, seeing that Paul was thrown away, and the Clippers' defensive formation was also a little scattered at this time, Wu Dawei hurriedly started to move from the flank to the inside.
Such an opportunity as an organizational defender Chauncey. Billups, of course, also saw it very clearly. So he didn't stop after half-time. But after seeing Wu Dawei and his teammates on the Cavaliers start to move, Billups continued to rush towards the inside line without hesitation!
He quickly ushered in the defense. When Wu Dawei rushed towards the inside line, Caron. Butler followed him closely, and when Butler saw that Billups was also rushing in unguarded at this time, Butler didn't think about it and made up for it.
Because Billups, who rushed to the free throw line at this time, was unguarded, and Wu Dawei, who ran to the paint area, would sooner or later encounter Blake. Griffin & DeAndrew. Jordan!
So it was hardly a multiple-choice question, and Butler rushed to it. At the same time stopped than
Lops' advance. However, the ball did not stop in Billups' hands, he waved his hand and passed it.
Caron. Butler looked back along the ball and found that Wu Dawei, who was still impacting the paint area before, had run out of the three-point line at some point, and he received the ball while standing outside the three-point line.
At the moment when Butler gave up on rushing towards Billups, Wu Dawei gave up the idea of attacking the inside. Then he made a comeback and returned to the three-point line.
And when Billups passed the ball, Wu Dawei was only one step away from him in front of Blake. Griffin. Although at halftime, head coach Negro had stressed the need to strengthen the defense of Wu Dawei, but Blake. Griffin is an interior player after all, and Wu has barely played outside the three-point line before that. Almost all of his attacks are from mid-range and inside.
In addition, because Griffin's scouting report did not match Wu Dawei, the characteristics of Wu Dawei were mentioned in a relatively general manner, so Griffin did not choose to rush up to defend Wu Dawei who was standing outside the three-point line and holding the ball.
And Wu Dawei jumped up like this, in Blake. Under Griffin's gaze, he jumped into the air without hesitation. The ball had been lifted high by him. At this time, there was no one who could stop Wu Dawei from throwing the ball to the basket.
Even Blake. Griffin is a player who is extremely good at flying arms. He could only sigh at the ball.
The ball was moved to the basket by Wu Dawei in the air, which was the first attack and projection of the second half of the game, which naturally attracted everyone's attention. Of course, the fans in Los Angeles will pray in their hearts that this ball will not be thrown, but Wu Dawei has an extraordinary feeling about it.
Entered!
With a bang, the ball went into the hoop!
At 57:50, the Cleveland Cavaliers got off to a good start in the second half, and by the way, the previous four-point gap was extended to as many as seven points. Although it is said that the head coach of the Clippers Nigro laid out a strategy to guard against Wu Dawei at halftime. However, the second half of the game has just begun, and Wu Dawei gave all Los Angeles people a big dismount!
"The Clippers let Wu Dawei shoot another three-pointer! He's already scored 21 points, and the second half has just begun! I don't know what Negro thinks, Blake. Griffin even took two steps to put his guard down just now! ”
On the sidelines of the stadium, the commentators, who were just as disappointed as the Los Angeles fans, also wailed.
At the end of the line was the screams of the Clippers' loose defense.
However, although the Los Angeles people were caught off guard by the Cavaliers as soon as they came up, Chris . Paul's aggressiveness was the reason for this defensive failure. And back to the offensive end of the Chris. And Paul restrained a lot.
After he dribbled the ball through the half, he was still trying to find two partners on the inside to cooperate, but the Cavaliers were interested in Griffin and DeAndrew. Jordan's defense is relatively close, and it is difficult for Paul to find any opportunities for a while.
So confronted on Anthony. Parker's defense, Paul decided to go hard!
A breakthrough helped Chris. Paul hit an inside hook shot, and although the Clippers had previously lost three points because of his aggressiveness, the current strong attack can be regarded as making up for it.
At 57:52, the Clippers completed the goal and narrowed the score a little more. However, this will certainly not be their goal, and they were determined to win before the start of this game, so it is natural that they will continue to work hard to close the gap or even overtake them.
In the next defense, the Clippers finally defended the Cavaliers' offense. Billups dribbled the ball past half-court and broke through to the inside after a pick-and-roll with Carman on the inside, but he was caught in the paint and he hurriedly passed the ball back to Carman. In the high post, Carman shot unguarded. But the ball finally bounced out of the basket!
Carman scored just 5 points on 2-of-8 shooting tonight, and the table was still not as good as it could be. And with such a slightly sluggish table, Carman has been going on for almost a whole new season.
That's why he's increasingly disappointed Clevelands. He still hasn't adjusted yet, and the Cavaliers don't have much time to adjust to him. That's why the Cavaliers are now so aggressively pursuing a trade with the Orlando Magic.
Dwight. The arrival of Howard will definitely make the strength of the entire Cleveland Cavaliers team completely rise to a notch!
After Carman misses a shot, the rebound is lost to DeAndrew. Jordan got it, Chris. Paul won the ball and launched a quick attack towards the frontcourt. Although the Cavaliers were also extremely fast in retreating, they were unable to contain the Clippers' scoring in the end.
Chris. Paul burst into the interior and picked the blue again, and the score became 57:54, and the difference became 3 points in an instant. The Staples Center finally burst into cheers once again as the Clippers blew the horn for a counterattack.
However, the Cavaliers can't be caught up by the Clippers just now, they just had a good start in the second half, Wu Dawei's three-point shot helped the Cavaliers unexpectedly expand their advantage, but now they are being caught up by the Los Angeles people, and the Cavaliers will naturally not let go so lightly.
After regaining control of the ball, Billups dribbled the ball past half court, at which point the Angelenos were still in love with Chris. Paul's two breakthroughs in quick succession were sparked, and cheers still resounded throughout the Staples Center arena.
However, at this moment when the Angelenos were still happy, Billups paused for a moment after half-time, and then suddenly launched an attack on the inside! Chris. Paul hurried to keep up with Billups, and the two stopped near the free throw line, but Billups didn't feel anxious about being blocked near the free throw line. When Paul was a little confused, he suddenly felt a strong wind blow beside him!
A figure jumped out from Paul's side, and at the same time as running towards the outside, Paul saw Billups in front of him, and directly passed the ball to the figure with a direct head pass, and at the same time, Billups also moved to the side, just blocking the defender behind the figure.
Wu Dawei stood outside the three-point line with the ball! Just at Chris. In front of Paul, he hurriedly pounced, but the height gap between the two was too huge, so that Chris. This qiē of Paul's efforts was in vain.
The ball was thrown by Wu Dawei at this time, which immediately quieted the stadium that was noisy before, and the next second, the crisp and pleasant sound of brushing the net made the whole court die-quiet!
