Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The Cleveland Cavaliers relied on Wu Dawei's consecutive scoring to establish a lead on the offensive end from the beginning, but the Cavaliers did not do very well on the defensive end tonight, but this is also inseparable from the Orlando Magic's excellent play outside the three-point line.
Although the Cavaliers only took the lead from the start, the Magic team also closely followed the Cleveland Cavaliers, and Orlander's perseverance really made people feel a little breathless.
The Amway Center, home of the Orlando Magic, was cheered on by the fans, and although the Orlando Magic were behind in the game, their momentum was never destroyed by the Cavaliers.
That's where the atmosphere at home gives the home team an advantage, and the cheers of the fans keep the Orlando Magic players alive with hope for a victory.
And it's not just Dwight on the Cavaliers. Howard was desperate to win the game, and with the Orlando Magic on the lineup, Chris was the Magic. Carman is also desperate to help the Orlando Magic win this game and prove his worth to his former club.
So this set the tone for the intense process of this game.
After the score was tied at 9-8, the Cavaliers still scored a goal in the next offense. Wu relied on his current momentum of scoring nine points in a row to attract the Orlando Magic's defense, and then passed to Dwight. Howard, who dunked in the paint zone!
It was Howard's first score of the game, helping the Cavaliers stretch the gap to 11-8 again, still a three-point gap, but it was obviously nothing for the Orlando Magic tonight.
In the next offense, they hit a three-pointer again, their third three-pointer of the game!
The first quarter of the game was less than half a quarter away, and the Orlando Magic was hot outside the three-point line! This is also to help them not to be in such a good state as Wu Dawei. It was immediately pulled away by the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The score instantly became an 11-11 tie, and the Magic's three three-pointers made it easy for them to catch up, and the advantage that the Cavaliers had worked so hard to build was easily resolved.
Such a situation makes the head coach of the Cavaliers, Byron . Scott felt pretty bad, and the Cavaliers immediately called for a timeout.
"Expand your perimeter defense! Don't give Orlando too many three-pointers, especially those who shoot with ease, if you don't give 100 percent tonight, then we're really going to be a joke on someone's mouth! Do you want to be the laughing thing after dinner? I don't want to! If you don't want to, change your guard aggressively and run aggressively. Do what you can on the pitch! They're not scary, as long as they block their three-pointers, then we'll win this game tonight! β
The three three-pointers not only allowed the Orlando Magic to tie the score, but also allowed Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Byron to tie the score. Scott looked quite angry, he didn't expect the team to shoot so many three-pointers to Orlando as soon as they started!
Otherwise, his team would have taken a huge lead in the midst of this noisy game. So that's one of the reasons why Scott is so angry, the team's positioning is to defend and counterattack, and there is no defense where the defense comes from.
"We're going to keep our strengths. Continue to look for opportunities on the outside, and if there is the slightest possibility, go for the projection! We needed three-pointers, and not just because it helped us equalize. That's not our goal, what we need is to win this game! Go and defeat the arrogant Clevelands, just tonight! β
Stan. Van Gundy shouted impassionedly at the players, and the previous game had already given him a glimmer of hope of winning. Although before the start of this game. All of Orlando seemed to be confident that they could win the game, but as the head coach Stan Brown. Van Gundy is still well aware of the difference in strength between the two sides.
So at this time, I really saw that there was hope of winning the game. Nature Stan. Van Gundy will only ask his players to give it their all. The reason why the Magic were able to catch up with the difference was that they were able to force the head coach of the Cavaliers at this time, Byron. Scott angrily asked for a timeout.
Naturally, Stan. Van Gundy is certainly going to take advantage of this.
After the timeout, although the Cleveland Cavaliers strengthened their defensive intensity from the outside, it did not completely nullify the Orlando Magic's shooting from beyond the three-point line.
After all, sometimes the feel comes, and that's something that can't be stopped.
However, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, the timeout helped them, at least for the first quarter of the game.
Although the Orlando Magic shot 5-of-6 from beyond the three-point line in the first quarter, the Cavaliers still led by 25-23 to enter the second quarter of the game.
The two sides began to send their second team one after another, and the veteran of the Cavaliers, Rasso. It was also at this time that Butler took to the court for the Orlando Magic; But with Chris. Kaman compared to Rasu. Butler, on the other hand, doesn't hate the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Maybe he was nearing the end of his career, so Butler took it a little lightly. Although it is a second-team competition, the Cleveland Cavaliers still have star players in the roster this season.
Carey. Irving, as last year's champion and winner of this season's rookie game, is currently ranked first in the league's rookie list, and he is also quite popular at the same time. Averaged 14+6 per game JΓΉ, so that Kyrie. Irving has already become an important player for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
In addition, the Cavaliers also have veteran Antoine on the second lineup. Jamison, a veteran whose huge annual salary expires after this season, is also averaging 10 points per game for the Cavaliers this season.
The combination of these two men, also at the beginning of the second quarter, gave Orlando a dismount. That's one of the reasons why the Cleveland Cavaliers have been able to dominate the league this season.
While the main team was well rested, the second team was still able to play a good game and help the Cavaliers stabilize the situation on the court.
Looking at the championship-winning teams in the history of the league, it is not difficult to find a very good sixth man in their roster; For example, Ginobili of the Spurs and Jason of the Mavericks. Terry, Lamar of the former Lakers. Odom is a key player in the second team.
Obviously, the Cavaliers have Chauncey in the starting guard line. Billups' case is taking Carey. Owen groomed the next Ginobili or Jason. Terry.
Although it is a bit of a waste to do so Carey. Irving has his own talent, but it's also a very good option for the Cavaliers.
In the second quarter, the Cavaliers continued to hold the lead, and even Kyrie. Owen and Antoine. Jamison's combination has also opened up the difference, but Orlandos stubbornly took advantage of their excellent touch outside the three-point line tonight and repeatedly saved their lives.
It was also tonight that Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Byron Brown. Scott's most distressing point is that if Orlando is allowed to shoot like this, although the Cavaliers still have the initiative on the court, no one knows what will happen in the final moments of the game.
If there is a shocking reversal, it is something that no one can say.
Scott's concern was not unfounded, as the Cavaliers were in trouble on the court immediately afterward. The Cavaliers once extended the difference to 6 points in the second quarter, but the Magic team suddenly made a force on the offensive end, caught the Cavaliers off guard, and then used three-pointers one after another to narrow the gap to within 1 point.
This situation suddenly made the Cleveland Cavaliers scramble. Scott didn't dare to be careless, so he hurriedly replaced Wu Dawei on the court, but when Wu Dawei was still waiting for the dead ball on the sidelines to get ready to play, the Cavaliers' mistakes on the offensive end gave the Magic hope of overtaking the score.
The Magic played the Cavaliers' best counterattack, and then they hit another three-pointer in the frontcourt to the cheers of the tireless Orlando fans tonight!
The score instantly became 34:36, and the Orlando Magic, who were playing at home, led the Cleveland Cavaliers by two points when the game was played for 4 minutes in the second quarter!
It was the first time they had taken the lead in the game!
There was a huge cheer in the Amway Center, and at this time, Wu Dawei finally found a chance to play, replacing Jason, who was still the "three-point king" who was not very good tonight. Cappano, back on the pitch.
Jason. Capono walked off the court in frustration, he had been on the court for 6 minutes, but two shots from beyond the three-point line were missed, which is no longer known how many times he missed shots.
Head coach Byron. Scott is also very disappointed with this, because Capono brought in last summer to strengthen the team beyond the three-point line, but now, it has no effect at all. (To be continued......)
