621. Unexpected circumstances
"Great job, great job!"
Byron standing on the sidelines. Scott was very happy with the team's performance after the game started.
Although the situation between the two sides in the opening game is still very anxious, the Cleveland Cavaliers still have the lead.
And more importantly, after the start of the game, the Cleveland Cavaliers in this game tonight, except for Wu Dawei, the rest of the players were very good.
This is the most important thing for the current Cleveland Cavaliers, and their biggest task in this game tonight is to hope to play in this game tonight, which is completely different from the previous game.
The Cleveland Cavaliers don't want to rely solely on Wu Dawei to support the team's offense like they did in the last game.
Although Wu Dawei obviously has such an ability, it is obvious that such a situation is too risky for the Cleveland Cavaliers at this time.
After all, if Wu Dawei is a little unable to play the table in the last game tonight, then the Cleveland Cavaliers will become very dangerous in this game tonight.
So for Byron . Scott, for his part, had told his players before the start of this game that it wasn't just Wu who needed to play in tonight's game, but everyone else needed to play a completely different game from the previous game.
Not being able to just rely on Wu Dawei as a Russian is not good news for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
After all, that would be too much of a drain on Wu's energy, and now after tonight's game, the game will be moved to the San Antonio Spurs' home at@t center.
When the time comes, if Wu Dawei is a little overdrawn, then for the Cleveland Cavaliers. will give them a huge blow.
So at this time, for Byron. As for Scott, it was only before this game that he demanded the performance of the other players so strongly.
So before the start of this game, Byron. Scott is actually a little related, and he is worried about other people's appearances; As for Wu Dawei, he will not worry at all. 、
Because in this season's playoffs, in the 13 games that have been played so far, Wu Dawei has not dragged the Cleveland Cavaliers back in a single game.
This is Byron. Scott is most relieved about Wu Dawei's reason, and now. For the Cleveland Cavaliers, after all, this is a best-of-seven series, and if it's really just Wu Dawei's performance, then it's useless at all.
So at this time, for Byron. As far as Scott is concerned, he will certainly feel happy to see other people's performances so good, and he will naturally continue to cheer for the players.
Because that's what he wants to see, albeit at this point. Once again, the San Antonio Spurs and the Cleveland Cavaliers are struggling with each other.
Once again, the two teams were evenly matched, but at this point, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, it was a situation where Wu Dawei had no play and no performance.
This is an important point.
Wu Dawei after the start of the game. deliberately reduced his participation in the attack, so he seemed more relaxed and comfortable after the opening.
At least in the eyes of others, Wu Dawei was not very nervous after the opening, and this is indeed the case.
For the Cleveland Cavaliers. In this season's playoffs, Wu Dawei took the lead in opening up the situation for the team, and then let the whole team play.
But in tonight's game, Wu Dawei didn't get involved much in the offensive end. But the team still played a good game.
Although the situation with the San Antonio Spurs is difficult to satisfy the Cleveland fans; But after all, this happened when Wu Dawei did not "shoot", so seeing the other players of the Cleveland Cavaliers have such expressions, of course, Cleveland fans will feel happy and happy for them.
After all, this is completely different from the Cleveland Cavaliers' overall performance in the last game, in the last game, the other players of the Cleveland Cavaliers felt very unbearable, if it wasn't for Wu Dawei, then they would have lost the last game.
This is how everyone felt at the time, so everyone will feel a little worried about the Cleveland Cavaliers' performance in this game.
But now, when the game starts, it's clear that such pre-match worries are absolutely unnecessary; Although the last game was not good, and there is a history of this, the Cleveland Cavaliers still have a lot of good players on the team, such as Dwight. Howard, Carey. Irving, these guys are even the league's starting All-Stars.
So their ability to self-adjust is also extraordinary, and at this time, for them, of course, they will also have some feelings of "shame and courage".
Dwight. Howard scored six straight points in the opening stanza, while Kyrie. Irving also contributed seven points in the opening game.
The two men played up the Cleveland Cavaliers' opening score, but at this point, it wasn't enough for the Cleveland Cavaliers to fully establish their lead in this game tonight.
With five minutes played, the score was 14-13 and the Cleveland Cavaliers trailed by one point on their home court.
This is another worry for Cleveland fans, as the San Antonio Spurs are clearly continuing their performance in the previous game.
Therefore, at this time, they can continue to maintain an anxious posture in the competition with the Cleveland Cavaliers, and even faintly gain the upper hand.
"Dwight. Howard & Carey. Irving's opening appearance made the Clevelanders happy, and that's what they should do as one of the core of the team. ”
And sitting on the sidelines of Charles. Barkley, too, at this time, couldn't help but be confused by Dwight. Howard & Carey. Owen's table xiàn felt the praise at the same time. He's certainly going to feel the worries of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
That is, the game has played so far, and the San Antonio Spurs even have a faint upper hand, although their one-point lead is nothing at this time, but it is impossible to ignore the details behind this one-point advantage.
"The Cleveland Cavaliers still need Wu Dawei!"
Barkley hit the nail on the head and said: "After all, this is Wu Dawei's team, if he lacks his dominance in the game, then even if they play such a brilliant season, they will still be forced into a desperate situation by the aging San Antonio Spurs in the finals." ”
Charles. Ross Barkley has made his own point, and surprisingly in your playoffs this year, his old partner Kenny. Smith didn't choose to be on his side all the time.
In response to Barkley's remarks, Kenny. Smith nodded in agreement: "That's right." It's been so long since the game started, and it's time for Wu Dawei to play. If you don't play now, then it will not be good to be beaten by the San Antonio Spurs. ”
Wu Dawei and the Cleveland Cavaliers are very clear about this, so when the San Antonio Spurs are now one point ahead, the ball is converted, and Wu Dawei begins to take over the ball.
This was Wu Dawei's first touch of the ball in this game, and this scene immediately made the Cleveland fans on the sidelines cheer wildly.
Because this is Wu Dawei's first catch in this game, for Cleveland Cavaliers fans, they certainly have something to look forward to.
After the start of the game. The other two core players of the Cleveland Cavaliers are very good, and the situation is in a stalemate with the San Antonio Spurs because of this.
So at this time, if Wu Dawei can also have an excellent table, then it will definitely be a good help for the Cleveland Cavaliers in this game tonight.
But at this time. When Wu Dawei had the ball for the first time, he was not able to directly bring the goal to the Cleveland Cavaliers, and his first attack in this game tonight was a table that caused the ball to bumble out of the basket.
His cousin was not what one would expect. Wu Dawei threw the ball wide in the first attempt of the opening shot.
And the rebounding ball fell into the hands of the San Antonio Spurs, for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Naturally, the shape shì is not very advantageous.
But at this point, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they don't have time to sigh because they have to do everything they can to get off the ground.
Because when the San Antonio Spurs grabbed the rebound, they were doing everything they could to push the fast offense.
Obviously this is the current offensive style of the San Antonio Spurs, and for them, this is the strategy they rely on the most.
So at this time, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, how dare they take it lightly, after all, for them, they don't want to be given the San Antonio Spurs away from home.
But at this time, they really couldn't defend the San Antonio Spurs' quick attack, so the San Antonio Spurs opened the gap in the score.
At 16-13, when the score gap was stretched to three points, the San Antonios were very happy about it, but at this time, as Cleveland fans, of course, they were not happy about it.
Because on their home court, there seems to be a tendency to be dominated by opponents, and in any case, this is something that Cleveland Cavaliers fans who have never lost a game in the playoffs so far this season can accept.
So at this point, when the San Antonio Spurs threw the ball into the basket, the Cleveland fans on the sidelines felt extremely disappointed.
However, it was obvious that they were even more disappointed that Wu Dawei was unable to help the Cleveland Cavaliers throw the ball into the basket in the first offense.
Wu Dawei's attack miss is a situation that no one expected, and it is precisely because of this that they will feel so frustrated for Cleveland Cavaliers fans at this time.
For the Cleveland Cavaliers, after all. Of course, they are still very hopeful that they can continue their performance in the previous game in this game tonight.
They want to win both of their home games, so at this point, Cleveland Cavaliers fans will certainly feel extremely uncomfortable with the Cleveland Cavaliers' backwardness in the combination court.
They want the team to do everything they can to turn this bad situation around, and that's certainly what the Cleveland Cavaliers players are looking for.
After all, they don't want to be suppressed by their opponents all the time in this game, which is not what the Cleveland Cavaliers are looking forward to this game at home.
So at this point, they need to do everything they can to try to beat their opponents, which is not an easy task.
This game has been played so anxiously from the beginning. And now that the San Antonio Spurs are still on the side with a three-point lead, the Cleveland Cavaliers can't afford to rush at this point.
If they try to tie the score with a three-pointer at this point, then it is indeed possible, but it is too risky after all.
And now the game has just started, and there is no need to be in such a hurry, but at this time, Kyrie. Irving obviously wanted to rely on his good hand, so after dribbling to the frontcourt, he tried a shot from outside the three-point line directly outside the three-point line.
Unfortunately, the ball didn't make it to the basket. Howard also didn't get the rebound.
The San Antonio Spurs are pushing the fast break again. This made the Cleveland Cavaliers a little scrambling all of a sudden.
Because the suddenness of such a situation is indeed something they could not have predicted, so for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they are indeed in a hurry, and while the Cleveland Cavaliers are in a hurry. The San Antonio Spurs once again relied on quick attacks to throw the ball into the hoop!
In this way, the score was instantly turned into 18-13!
The shape shì turned around in an instant, although the San Antonio Spurs were the leading side before. But a one-point lead and a five-point lead are very different in every way.
So at this point, when the San Antonio Spurs scored that goal again. Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Byron Brown. Scott quickly asked for a timeout.
Obviously, for the San Antonio Spurs, this is a very happy thing for them; But at this time, for San Antonio Spurs head coach Popovich, he still has a cold expression.
Although the San Antonio Spurs played extremely well since the start of the game and now have the lead, Popovich is still frowning.
Obviously, this is not because he is dissatisfied with the team's performance in the previous game, but because he is afraid that the game will be turned over by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the second quarter of the game like the last game!
It's not impossible for this to happen, because Wu Dawei hasn't played his form at this point, so if Wu Dawei is out of form, then it's clear that the San Antonio Spurs are going to be in a very tricky situation.
So even though the current shape is good, for the head coach of the San Antonio Spurs, Popovich, he still can't be happy.
Because at this point, when the first quarter of the game is not even over, the five-point advantage of the San Antonio Spurs leading away is not even enough for them to gain a foothold at this time.
So for Popovich, of course, he still hopes that the team can continue to be more cautious, rather than complacent because of this five-point advantage.
So at this point, he still had a straight face, but it was clear that the one who was in a much worse mood than him at this time was definitely the Cleveland.
After all, their table in this game, at least the current table, did not meet their expectations, so at this time, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, whether it is players, fans or even coaches, they are extremely dissatisfied with the status quo.
Naturally, they must be in the worst mood at this time, the San Antonio Spurs are still on the side of the county, and the Cleveland Cavaliers are really behind.
The shape isn't good for the Cleveland Cavaliers, who need to regroup, which is important at this point. After all, the Cleveland Cavaliers don't want to end the first quarter of the game with a trailing situation like Na Yang in the last game.
Although they ended up winning the last game, it would have been best if they had been able to stay ahead until the end of the game. (To be continued......) I1292
