594. Got into trouble
When Wu Dawei's use of blocking and pick-and-roll helped the Cleveland Cavaliers score the first goal in this game tonight, the atmosphere in the entire quick loan center also changed dramatically at this time.
It's great for the Clevelands to see David Wu score, and they're looking forward to continuing his 12 games in the playoffs tonight.
For them, if the Cleveland Cavaliers want to sweep the San Antonio Spurs in the Finals, what they need most is the performance and performance of David Wu as the core of the team.
If Wu can continue his personal performance in the previous playoffs, then the Cleveland Cavaliers still have a chance to sweep the San Antonio Spurs; But if Wu can't show his personal record in the playoffs where he won 12 games in a row, then it will be extremely difficult for the Cleveland Cavaliers to win four games in a row and sweep the San Antonio Spurs in this series.
So at this time, when Cleveland fans saw Wu Dawei score in the first attack of the opening game, they naturally cheered on the sidelines.
Because that's what they want to see, but for them, they know it's just the first attack in the opener.
There's still a long way to go.
And the opponent is not unarmed, naturally, for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
They have to be more cautious.
After the switch between offense and defense, the San Antonio Spurs quickly came to the frontcourt, and the opening deficit was not what they wanted, so they naturally hoped to recover the goal they had just conceded on the offensive end.
For the Cleveland Cavaliers, of course, they are hoping to defend the San Antonio Spurs' offense at this time, so that they can have a chance to widen the gap in the opening game.
It's something they expect.
Therefore, there is no doubt that this lecture will be a fierce collision of spear and shield.
After all, the Cleveland Cavaliers have the league's best defensive player-level defenders inside and out.
David Wu and Dwight.
Howard's combination on the defensive end is even more terrifying for opponents.
So for the San Antonio Spurs, the pressure they face on the offensive end is actually no less than it was on the defensive end.
But that doesn't give them a reason to back down.
After all, for the San Antonio Spurs, they are now on the road, so it is natural that they need to take advantage of the opportunity to do something in their favor.
The scoring after falling behind was particularly crucial, with the Cleveland Cavaliers falling into formation and the San Antonio Spurs starting to run up front.
Despite their age, they are running around as hard as they can, trying to upset the Cleveland Cavaliers' defense.
If they manage to confuse their opponents, then the San Antonio Spurs will be able to score with ease, which is what they rely on the most.
So at this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers naturally need to be more cautious in the face of such a situation.
Tony, though.
Parker still uses Tim.
Duncan mentions a pick-and-roll from the high post that shook off Carey.
After Owen.
Directly helped the San Antonio Spurs who were playing away with a mid-range shot, and closed the gap in the score.
2 to 2.
The two sides ended in a draw after the opening game, and neither side will be satisfied, after all, everyone wants to be the winner of this round of the finals.
So whether they can dominate in the first game will be particularly crucial, and even the Cleveland Cavaliers are quite concerned about this.
So for such a bad defense.
Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Byron standing on the sidelines.
Scott frowned, looking rather dissatisfied.
"In the opening game, both sides used their own pick-and-rolls to complete the attack, obviously. Both of these teams are very good at using pick-and-rolls, whether it's the Cleveland Cavaliers or the San Antonio Spurs, they rely heavily on pick-and-rolls. ”
But the Spurs' high pick-and-roll is slightly different from the Cleveland Cavaliers' high-post pick-and-roll. Tim. After Duncan mentioned that he had come high to do the pick-and-roll, he had the option to go down and open up the space. ”
"Because he has a hand of deposit, his opponent will be very taboo about this; And compared to Tim. Duncan's pick-and-roll, Dwight. Howard is a lot more monotonous, he doesn't have a mid-range shot, so he can only choose to go down, which is naturally better to defend. ”
Charles.
Barkley analysed the differences between the two sides in terms of pick-and-roll, Ernie.
Johnson asked, "So Charles, do you think the Spurs' pick-and-roll is more difficult to defend?" ”
"That can't be said exactly."
Charles.
Barkley shook his head at this and said, "Although Dwight. Howard has no more options, however, for David Wu or Carey. Owen was enough. ”
"Because their individual ability is so good, especially David Wu as the core of the Cleveland Cavaliers, which is a well-known thing."
It turned out that a big circle was still to praise Wu Dawei's table, and there is no doubt that such a scene has been in the past several commentary work, Charles.
Barkley has played it out countless times.
It's as if Wu Dawei was staged by a one-arm violent dunk in the quick loan center at this time, and in every home game, Wu Dawei will more or less stage this scene.
For David Wu and his Cleveland fans, although they are used to it, they still cheer for it.
"Oh! This is Wu Dawei. Although the game has only just begun, we can see his unstoppable side! ”
Charles.
Barkley had just finished analyzing the situation on the field when the old god was there, and it was this scene brought by Wu Dawei that brought Gao Chao.
He screamed, and it was also the atmosphere in the entire quick loan center at this moment.
For Cleveland fans, there's nothing more exciting than David Wu wreaking havoc on the basketball court.
Of course, this is what they want to see, and at this time, Wu Dawei's performance made the active cells of their whole body become excited.
The game will still continue, but the head coach of the San Antonio Spurs * Vic has a face on the table.
But it's getting a little weird.
He blushed, but he didn't yell at the basketball court.
Maybe he really wanted to reprimand the players, but Wu Dawei just scored a goal, and the players did their best.
He can still see this, Leonard is so close to Wu Dawei.
But Wu Dawei still found an opportunity to fly up against him, and then completed this violent buckle.
As the game continues, he naturally doesn't want the players to keep remembering such a scene, and should put more energy into the game, which is the most important thing, and it is the San Antonio Spurs players who must get the ball next.
If they can level the score with offense, it won't be a bad thing for the San Antonio Spurs.
But it won't be easy, and Vic, who is standing on the sidelines, knows very well that the Cleveland Cavaliers are the league's leading defensive powerhouse.
For the San Antonio Spurs, even if they want to break through such a defense, it will not be easy.
But the good thing is that the whole San Antonio Spurs team seems to be feeling good tonight, and it was Tony before.
Parker.
And this time it's Tim.
Duncan.
The latter still mentioned that Parker did a pick-and-roll in the high post, and then Parker cut in to attract Dwight.
Howard's assist, followed by Parker's return pass to Tim.
Duncan, Wu Dawei's defense was one step behind, the ball flew to the basket, and finally drilled in.
The score became 4-4.
For the Cleveland Cavaliers, that's certainly not what they want.
After all, they had the advantage from the start of the game, so for the Clevelands, they certainly didn't want to play so anxiously against the San Antonio Spurs on the road.
After all, they now have the initiative, and naturally they want to be able to close the gap on their opponents San Antonio Spurs as quickly as possible.
"Looks like the Spurs are having a good time tonight!"
Charles.
While Barkley was lamenting on the sidelines, the Cleveland Cavaliers were already running forward with the ball, and their speed was so fast that the Spurs' formation was somewhat scattered.
And this time it's not David Wu, Carey.
Irving seized the opportunity as he transitioned offense and defense, and he caught the entire San Antonio Spurs defense off guard.
A light pick-and-roll that also scored two points for the Cleveland Cavaliers at home, and the score changed again.
4-6, the Cleveland Cavaliers have always been the leading side, although they have never been able to open the gap in the score, but at least they did grasp the initiative in this game.
This scene naturally made the Cleveland fans on the sidelines scream again, but the good times were short-lived, and the San Antonio Spurs once again relied on jumpers to tie the score.
In less than 2 minutes of the opening game, both sides played a relatively fast offensive and defensive transition, and the process of the game went back and forth, and the success rate was extremely high, which was naturally pleasing to the eye.
"Who would have thought that such a Spurs team would be spurned for cleaning up the cancer nine years ago!"
Even Charles.
Barkley is also amazed by the Spurs' overall offense today, and each of them can be a sapper and pose a threat to the Cleveland Cavaliers' defense.
Obviously, in this game tonight, the San Antonio Spurs did an excellent job on the offensive end; But as the head coach of the San Antonio Spurs, *vic quickly called a timeout.
It's important to have the Cleveland Cavaliers score again on the offensive end again.
For the Cleveland Cavaliers, they don't want to be given an advantage to the San Antonios on their home court.
Wu Dawei helped the Cleveland Cavaliers with a difficult mid-range projection, and in this way, they naturally took the lead again.
The score was 8-6, and for the San Antonio Spurs, the score was not pulled apart, and they could have gone for an equalizer on the offensive end.
It doesn't look so bad, but at this point, Vic, the head coach of the San Antonio Spurs, resolutely asked for a timeout.
Obviously.
The veteran coach was not satisfied with the team's performance after the opening kick-off, and he was a little angry.
The dissatisfaction is naturally the team's defense.
Because the San Antonio Spurs haven't missed a shot on the offensive end, the only defense is what makes *vic feel annoyed at this point.
He doesn't like it when the team has such a terrible defense and makes the opponent take what they want.
It's a terrible feeling.
And in the same way, after *Vic asked for a timeout, when Wu Dawei and other Cleveland Cavaliers players returned to the bench, as the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers Byron.
Scott is also not complacent about the team's current slim lead.
"We're going to play tougher defensively, don't let them shoot lightly! It's a slow suicide, and do you want to turn this game into a shooting drill for the San Antonios?! ”
Byron.
Scott took advantage of the timeout to yell at the players, and it was clear that he was just as unhappy with the team's defense.
Naturally, Byron.
Scott hopes the team will be able to improve their defense in the following games.
And his tone is much softer than that of Spurs head coach Vic.
*Vicky didn't care about that, and when the players came back to the bench, he couldn't wait to start yelling.
Although the game has only just begun.
But the team's defense is just too bad, at least in the eyes of the boss to something he can't tolerate.
So he hopes that the team can make some improvements in the defense of the game after the timeout, at least not let the Clevelands take what they want.
Of course, the most important thing for the San Antonio Spurs now is to score the next offense first.
* Vicky planned a three-point shot for the San Antonio Spurs.
And when the two sides got back on the basketball court, the tactic worked immediately.
This made Vicky's bad mood immediately better.
He stood on the sidelines and shouted, "Yes! ”
It's a great thing that the San Antonio Spurs, who have been behind since the opening kick-off, took the lead on the road for the first time.
The score became 9-8, and the pressure naturally came to the side of the Cleveland Cavaliers playing at home.
Byron standing on the sidelines.
It was Scott's turn to frown now, because he didn't want to see that happen.
And he didn't expect it, not just him, but also the Cleveland Cavaliers players on the court.
Before this game began, the entire Cleveland Cavaliers team would not have imagined that the San Antonio Spurs would be in such good shape in this game tonight.
After all, they are a team with an older core that has played seven games in the previous Western Conference Finals and just had a day off.
It's amazing to be in such good form in this game, but it's not time to panic the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Because the opponent has played so many games before and has only had a day off before playing this one, there will definitely be some problems with their fitness.
That may not have been evident at the beginning of the game, but the Cleveland Native believes it will certainly be evident as the game progresses.
But no matter how sure the Clevelands are about it now, they're worried after the San Antonio Spurs put the margin on the scoreline.
Because no one can say what will happen later, but at the moment, the good state of the San Antonio Spurs is vividly displayed in front of everyone.
So at this point, the Clevelands will certainly be worried, and they need David Wu to step up at this time, and David Wu will certainly not let the fans down.
When the team fell behind again, Wu Dawei stood up again, and he scored his eighth point in the game.
A step-back jumper after a tough break, Wu Dawei's attacking means left the opponent helpless.
It was a great turnaround jumper and helped the Cleveland Cavaliers regain the lead, which was great in every way.
*Vicky shook his head, the team's defense is still so bad, at least for Wu Dawei's defense, they are indeed helpless at the moment.
It is obviously not an overnight task to solve such a problem, but the finals will last about two weeks in total.
So there's not much time left for the San Antonio Spurs, and if they want to win the championship this season, then they have to figure out a good way to do it, or they will have to rely on their own better form.
And after they returned to the offensive end, they did cause a little trouble for the Cleveland Cavaliers!
