18. Played in the first quarter
The Cavaliers want to use the Wizards as their first victory, and the Washingtonians don't necessarily think so.
The persimmon picks the soft pinch, this principle is understood by everyone, not to mention that the two sides have a deep grudge in the James Arenas era.
So in this fish belly fight, both sides did their best. For a while, it was really hard to separate.
Scott stood on the sidelines frowning because the score was 16:15 at this time. The Cavaliers have a one-point lead, but they don't have much advantage on the court.
Although the Wizards are disorganized both offensively and defensively, they rely on their talent to play alone, but they can really chase after the Clevelands.
John Wall had four points, Andre Bleche had four and Josh Howard had seven.
Byron Scott looked up from the scorching situation on the court and could see at a glance the Wizards' scoring distribution.
However, at this moment, the empty MIC Center Arena resounded with a burst of cheers. Josh Howard made another guò heads-up in the Horns, smashing away Graham for another two-point shot from mid-range.
He's already scored 9 points. The Wizards also overtook the score.
Scott's expression was unsightly, and he asked for a timeout; Joey Graham's expression is just as ugly, because not only does he have to deal with Howard's dilemma, but he also has to listen to his grandson's trash talk. This small forward of the 03 class is like a ruffian, no wonder even Stern is particularly troubled by him.
"Hey man, come on, good job, the game has just begun!" Graham sat sullenly in his chair, and a glass of Gatorade suddenly appeared in front of him, and he looked up to see that it was Wu Dawei who spoke. At this time, the Chinese was clapping his hands at him and said, "Joey, you did a good job, but that idiot was a little luckier." ”
Graham, of course, knew that Wu Dawei was comforting himself, and he sighed and shook his head, obviously very disappointed in his appearance.
Scott stood on the pitch and watched as the players walked back to the bench one by one. Of course, he noticed Joy Graham's depressed expression, and in the same way, he saw Wu Dawei sitting next to Graham and talking to him.
"Otherwise, let Wu try it." At that moment, a voice rang in his ears, and Scott turned his head to look at Wright Tibbetts, an assistant who had followed him to Cleveland.
"You seem to value this Chinese quite a lot." Scott glanced at Wu Dawei and remembered his face when he faced the Denver people two days ago, maybe Wu Dawei would indeed be a good choice. His outstanding talent really makes him effective when defending against opponents alone.
"What I value is his hard work." Tibbetts' explanation was simple, but it was exactly what Scott wanted. He nodded, discussed with a few more assistants beside him, and walked back to the bench.
"We played well tonight, boys." Scott clapped his hands at several key players and added: "But I'm very unhappy with our defense. Because you didn't work as the defensive end as you did in the last game! Is it because our opponent tonight is too weak for you to lift your spirits? ”
Scott's words made the main players look a little unpleasant, and Joey Graham felt even more guilty, he really didn't expect that his body, who was much better than the opponent, would actually allow Howard to score 9 points in the first quarter.
"So I think we have to be proactive and seek some change. Joey, I think you need to calm down and let Wu take your place first. ”
"What, let him!?" Scott's move was immediately questioned by Maurice Williams. Not only because he and Wu Dawei are not compatible, but also because the first quarter of the game was only a little more than 5 minutes old. …,
Even if it is to be replaced, in Williams's opinion, it should not be Wu Dawei, a little-known little person, who is on the field.
He just walked a few rounds of shit in the last game, did he become the sixth man on the team?
"That's right." Scott nodded, and then he said to Wu Dawei: "Dawei, I hope that when you come on the court, you can stop Howard from scoring as you did in the last game." ”
"No problem, Coach!" Wu Dawei was ecstatic because he didn't expect that he would be able to get the opportunity to play so soon. Nima's protagonist treatment is good, and even the coach doesn't leave his name when he speaks three sentences.
"Don't be reckless, Chinese. It's not a cat or a dog that you have to guard against, it's Josh Howard. ”
When the whistle sounded, Williams walked behind Wu Dawei and sneered at him. In the last game, Wu Dawei was in the limelight, and Williams was already unhappy.
"It looks like you're scared of him, so why don't you pass me all the balls and let me blow him up on both ends of the floor." Wu Dawei didn't know if it was the excellent performance in the last game that gave him confidence, in short, when Williams made fun of himself, he didn't even think about it and sneered back.
"Just the two of you?"
"It's better than 2 of your 12 shots anyway."
"You ......" Williams was completely inferior in his tongue, and even Valejo, who was walking next to them, couldn't help but snicker.
Williams walked onto the pitch in a grief, swearing he would never pass a single ball to Wu tonight. I must let this damned Chinese know who is the boss!
The game resumed, and the Cavaliers possessed the ball.
Williams didn't really pass the ball to Wu Dawei, in fact he didn't pass anyone, and after halftime he managed to single out John Wall in front of everyone and hit a two-pointer.
The Cavaliers are the frontrunners again, but apparently they don't take it easy. The Wizards' backcourt serve extremely quickly, and Wu Dawei just stepped into the half court with his front foot, and Wall followed.
Although the top pick was criticized for his shooting percentage in the first game, his passing skills were also talked about. His imaginative and penetrating passing allowed him to break the double in the opening game.
Seeing this, Wu Dawei hurriedly ran to Howard's side, because he had already sensed Wall's intention to pass the ball.
As soon as he met Howard on the three-point line, Wu Dawei found that this guy who looked ancient, and could see his two shiny front teeth with his lips closed, suddenly showed himself a smile that was ashamed of himself, and then ...... When he was not on a firm footing, he rushed to the basket. He must have thought he hadn't reacted.
Wu Dawei hurriedly followed Howard, the main purpose of the coach to let himself come up was to prevent this ugly monster, Wu Dawei naturally couldn't fall in the first defensive round.
He saw John Wall pass the ball, so he deliberately controlled his speed......
PS: A lot of friends say that the update is too slow, but I do not dare to compliment the speed of the codeword...... Let me get used to it for a while and then speed it up appropriately (^__^)
