42:54!

When the whistle blew at the end of the first half, the atmosphere in the quick loan center was still like a wave.

Cleveland fans had only one feeling about the first half of this game, and that was perfection! Whether it was the first quarter or the second quarter, the Cleveland Cavaliers showed enough strength on the court. Howard's teaming up gave Cleveland fans hope of winning a championship.

That's what excites people in Cleveland the most, and tonight's team owner, Daniel Brown. Gilbert also came to the Quick Loan Center to watch the game. Of course, he also wanted to see if the team could play the basketball he wanted after spending a lot of money.

The basketball that Gilbert wanted was simple, and that was in LeBron. James won the championship with his Miami Heat team before!

As things stand, it doesn't seem like this is going to be a difficult goal. In fact, last season, the Cavaliers almost accomplished such a goal, and it was precisely because of the regret of the championship in the finals last season that Gilbert made up his mind to build a championship team with Wu Dawei as the core in the future!

He certainly didn't want to be a joke in anyone's mouth, and the experience of the previous summer still hovers in Gilbert's mind from time to time. As a successful businessman, if Daniel. Gilbert wouldn't care about his reputation, that's a fantasy!

It's just that at that time, as soon as he said those words, he knew that it was going to be bad, although he deleted the tweet in the fastest time, but it had already been retweeted countless times by countless people, and naturally people knew that it was him Daniel. What Gilbert said.

At that time, even if Gilbert didn't want to admit it, he had to admit it!

So at that time, he could only bite the bullet and become a joke in everyone's mouth. Everyone is saying that he is delusional. Daydreaming! Gilbert carried countless ridicules at that time, and this also made him even more eager for the championship!

"It's so beautiful!"

At the end of the first half, Gilbert couldn't help but raise his arms like a fan and shout at the team's general manager, Dan Gilbert, who was sitting next to him. Ferry, Gilbert cast an appreciative look.

"Dan, I have to say, you did a great job in this transaction! I want to thank you! ”

"Oh! Thank you, sir! "Dan. Ferry smiled and agreed, but he wasn't greedy. "But we also have to thank Wu, if it wasn't for his personal relationship with Howard, we wouldn't have been able to get the All-Star center so easily!" ”

Daniel. Gilbert raised his eyebrows, he turned his gaze back to the court, and at a glance he could see Wu Dawei walking towards the players' tunnel with his teammates, his expression immediately showed an unbridled smile, and said: "That's right, this young man is simply Cleveland's savior!" I can't wait to give him a big contract! ”

"I understand!" Ferry smiled even more as he said, "The other 29 teams in the league think the same way. The contract we signed with Wu is the best contract in the history of the Alliance! ”

"Haha!!" The two of them stood on the sidelines and smiled at each other, as the owner and general manager of the Cavaliers, there is no doubt that Dan. Ferry & Daniel. Gilbert. It has always been the object of intensive attention of the reporters who came to the scene of the quick loan center this evening.

Naturally, the picture of the two of them looking at each other and smiling was included in the camera by the reporters. They've even figured out the title of their next story.

Fifteen minutes of intermission. It was almost time for the Cleveland fans who came to the Quickfinance Center tonight to revel, and their team played a game that they couldn't have been more satisfied with in the first half.

With such an airtight defense and such a swift defensive counterattack, the Cleveland Cavaliers really have some otherworldly taste.

If the Cavaliers can maintain their form in the first half. Then there may only be a few teams in the league that can cause them trouble. And there are only a few teams, and few of them dare to say that they can have more than half of the winning rate against the Cavaliers!

In the East, needless to say, the Miami Heat's one-win, nine-loss record has long made them laugh and generous; The Chicago Bulls, although they said that they defeated the Cavaliers in the last game, they were powerless tonight, and in the Eastern Conference finals last season, the Cavaliers also defeated the Chicago Bulls with a score of 4:1.

In the West, the upstart Oklahoma City Thunder and the Cavaliers have only one win and three losses in the past two seasons. If it weren't for the fact that the Cavaliers won a game during the slightly sluggish period some time ago, then only after Wu Dawei came to the Cavaliers, their record against this upstart team is to win all four games!

In addition, there are only two teams that really make people feel that when the Cavaliers are playing against them, they will feel bottomless. One is the San Antonio Spurs, who are currently in second place in the Western Conference, and the other is the Memphis Grizzlies.

There is always a mystery to the San Antonio Spurs, their core roster is always able to create incredible things, and no one knows who will end up killing if the Cavaliers really play a best-of-seven series against this old powerhouse; But for the Memphis Grizzlies, Cavaliers fans now have some confidence.

Because the Memphis Grizzlies were able to defeat the Cleveland Cavaliers because of their strong strength on the inside! And now, the Cavaliers have brought in super-center Dwight from the Orlando Magic. Howard, it's hard to say who has the stronger inside line.

All in all, the Cleveland Cavaliers' performance in the first half of tonight's game made many people feel more optimistic about their prospects. With such a team that has both defense and offense, as well as superstars, it is really difficult to find any weaknesses to attack.

The players went back to the locker room, and the Bulls players looked bitter, and the game was even tougher than they had imagined. The combination of Howard and Wu Dawei made them feel breathless on the defensive end, and it was really uncomfortable and painful like a fish in the throat.

The Cavaliers, on the other hand, were the exact opposite of the Bulls, and they had a 12-point lead after the end of the first half, which helped them build a psychological advantage, and the shadow of the last meeting between the two sides slowly dissipated.

There was a joyous atmosphere in the dressing room, and the happiest thing was, of course, that belonged to the head coach Byron. Scott. Dwight. Howard contributed 14 points, 8 rebounds and 3 blocks for the Cavaliers in the half, definitely playing the table that Scott needed Howard to do before the game; On the other hand, Wu Dawei partnered with Howard for half a game, and also played well, with 12 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 steals and 3 blocks.

Both stars have played well, and this is the head coach Byron. Scott wants to see things. And more importantly, the combined score of the two stars is not more than half of the team, which means that in addition to the two superstars Wu Dawei and Howard, the other players in the Cavaliers team have also contributed.

The biggest fear for teams with superstars is star dependency, and it seems that the Cavaliers don't have such a trend at the moment. Carey. Owen, Billups, and Jamison also contributed a good number of points each.

However, the Cavaliers are not completely perfect, they still lack in terms of coordination. Although Wu Dawei and Chang Xi. Billups, in the middle of the first half of the game with Dwight. Howard's cooperation is very frequent, but the cooperation between other players on the team and Howard is relatively blunt.

For the current Cavaliers, the run-in period is also an issue they need to solve. Compared to the fact that it's only the regular season, the playoffs are several times more difficult than the regular season, and if you just rely on the individual abilities of the stars to win the championship, it will still be more difficult.

And in addition to the coordination, the Cavaliers' outside shooting is also a problem. In the middle of the first half of the game, because Dwight. Howard's excellent performance, the Bulls have deliberately shrunk the interior, but the Cavaliers' outside players are not as good as they should be.

Although Wu Dawei and Billups both have a 40% shooting rate from beyond the three-point line this season, the lack of a qualified shooter in the team is the key to the problem. Jason was signed last summer. Cappano's performance this season is really unimpressive, not only is his current playing time scarce, but his shooting percentage is also miserable. So far, Capono has shot just 33 percent from three-point range.

Not to mention the Cavaliers' original shooter, small guard Gibson, who is now in a plummeting state and has basically not been in the rotation this season.

It's also a conundrum that the Cavaliers need to solve urgently. Howard's continued play is excellent, so there is no doubt that the Cavaliers will get a lot of opportunities on the outside, and if they can't take advantage of such opportunities, it will definitely be bad news for the Cavaliers.

Because that would make the opponent more brazen to wrap up the Cavaliers' interior line, then there is no doubt that Dwight. Howard would be the most direct victim. (To be continued......)
