On January 17, 2012, the Cavaliers faced their next opponent after a comfortable victory over the Detroit Pistons last night. Compared to the last team with a fishy belly, the Memphis Grizzlies are currently in the top four of the Western Conference, which is really a big test for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Memphis people's strong inside combination and fierce style of play will make people's hearts awe-inspired!
This is a tough bone to gnaw, not to mention that the Cavaliers are still back-to-back in this game!
Before the start of the game, not only the outside media was not very optimistic about the Cavaliers, but even the fans in Cleveland were a little worried. Although in fact, the current record of the league makes them proud, but people are not machines, and now the Cavaliers are in the limelight, and it is a team that wants to break their undefeated golden body.
Memphis are very difficult to deal with.
The game kicks off at 7 p.m., and the Cleveland ball market is currently in full swing, and the Quick-Loan Center is still overcrowded and the attendance is bursting.
Both sides are playing the main force in this game, and there are no injuries in the team, which can be described as a contest between the tip of the needle and the wheat mang!
Unlike the easy win over the Detroit Pistons in their last game, the Memphis are significantly tougher than the Detroiters, who have lost their hard-line tradition. The game was tangled up from the start.
The Memphis, like the Cavaliers, can also be said to be a well-balanced team on offense and defense, especially on the inside, unstoppable on the offensive end and rock-solid on the defensive end. Last season, the Memphis Grizzlies were able to complete the "Black Eight" miracle. It was precisely by relying on the two evil bears, one black and one white, that they crushed the aging Spurs to complete the promotion.
Now, this evil bear paw has reached out to the Cleveland Cavaliers, who have not failed this season, and it is naturally a test for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
If they can beat it, then the Cavaliers can continue their winning streak, and if they fall to the Memphis, then the Cleveland Cavaliers will also fall back to the dust and continue to compete with other teams, and they will not be able to dominate all the coquettish like they are now!
No one doesn't want to stand out from the crowd and be the darling of millions of people. Naturally, the Cavaliers are in such a state at the moment, and the Cleveland players will certainly double down on their efforts.
But not to mention that the Memphis Grizzlies are excellent in the Cavaliers' weaker part at the moment, and their recent form has been getting better and better. The Cavaliers said they had the home advantage that night. However, it is not easy to win this opponent from the Western Conference.
In the first quarter, the two sides played an even game, and neither took much advantage. The Cleveland Cavaliers, playing at home, did not build a huge advantage in the first quarter of the game tonight as they did last night.
At 23:25, the Memphis Grizzlies, who were playing on the road, only trailed the Cleveland Cavaliers by two points at the end of the first quarter, and they quickly chased back such an insignificant disadvantage in the second quarter.
Carey. Irving is a knife on the current Cleveland Cavaliers' second lineup. His breakthrough can tear apart the opponent's defence. But tonight, not only did the Grizzlies' defense be excellent, but in their second lineup, O.J. Mayo was just as impressive!
Carey. Owen was indeed a national name before he entered the league, but O.J. Mayo, who entered the industry before him. Isn't it the same?
Both of them can be described as models of juvenile fame, but one is getting more and more regressive, and the other has not yet entered the team's starting lineup. The one who regresses more and more is definitely Bikerry. Owen entered the league earlier than O.J. Mayo. However, even if Mayo's numbers this season are far less impressive than his rookie season, he can still contribute 17 points per game to the team, which is the Grizzlies' main scoring point on the second team!
And tonight, after O.J. Mayo came on the court, he not only helped the Memphis Mongrizzlies quickly equalize the score, but also began to gradually build a lead.
Until Cavaliers head coach Byron. When Scott reacted, the Grizzlies were already leading the second quarter by four points, which led the Cleveland Cavaliers at home.
The two sides then re-entered the main part of the competition in the second quarter, but these four points were put into a gully and stuck in the throat of the Cavaliers, making the Cavaliers feel extremely uncomfortable in the first half of the game.
At 52:50, when the first half ended, the Cavaliers finally broke the four-point barrier, but at the end of the half, they still fell behind the Memphis Grizzlies who were playing away.
On the Cavaliers' side, the players are not in very good shape, even Wu Dawei only got 14 points and 7 rebounds, although Wu Dawei still contributed 2 blocks and 1 steal on the defensive end, but it was always difficult to stop the Memphis Grizzlies inside duo playing.
Although Wu Dawei's defense is the best in the league, it is even worthy to say that no one can beat him at present. But after all, Wu Dawei is only a No. 3 player, although he occasionally has experience in the No. 4 position, but he is not a real low-post player after all, and Wu Dawei is only alone, two fists are difficult to defeat four hands, and it is difficult to prevent Randolph and Gasol Jr., who are in excellent condition, no matter what.
It can be said that the reason why the Memphis Grizzlies were able to press the Cavaliers in the first half was not to rely on the table of the two interior giants, who drove the outside line from the inside, so that they found a good opportunity in the hands of the Cavaliers, who are now in the limelight.
Mark. Gasol played 18 minutes in the first half, contributing 10 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists to the team. And Zach. Randolph, as the bridgehead of the Memphis Grizzlies on the offensive end, scored 18 points and 7 rebounds in the first half.
And that's still the Cleveland Cavaliers fans. For the first time, the Cleveland Cavaliers were seen trailing their opponents at halftime in a game at the Quick Loan Center. This can't help but make fans sweat for their favorite team.
The Memphis Grizzlies came with a strong winning streak before tonight's game, which is really a bad come! Whether the Cavaliers' eleventh consecutive win will come as scheduled, people are also a little uncertain after halftime.
Fifteen minutes later, the second half was reopened with the prayers of the Cleveland fans. The Cavaliers players who had been rested were the first to attack at the beginning of the second half.
Scoring four straight points helped them regain the lead of the game, but the Cavaliers didn't stop there. The Memphis did not show any weakness in this, and the two sides entered a stalemate.
The Cavaliers have the advantage of playing at home, but the Memphis Grizzlies are playing on the road. However, their last game was two days ago, and the Cavaliers played back-to-back games tonight.
In terms of physical reserves, the two sides are of course better than the Memphis.
Gradually, the Cavaliers were a little stalemate. Slowly, the Memphis regained the lead in the game, and the Memphis played unhurriedly, relying on their advantage on the inside, they advanced step by step, and dominated the opponents.
By the end of the third quarter, the score had become 80:75. The Memphis Grizzlies, playing on the road, didn't just hold on to their advantage. And in this quarter of the game, the gap between the two sides continued to widen.
However, of course, the Cavaliers will not give up so lightly, although the Memphis play with ease, but the Cavaliers, as the only undefeated team in the league at present, are naturally not so easy to get along with.
Section IV. Head coach Byron. Scott put all the players he felt were the best players on the pitch early on, and he had to fight to the death. However, the Memphis Grizzlies, who completed the "Black Eight Miracle" last season, are obviously also a team that is good at playing tough battles.
The two teams played more intensely in the fourth quarter, and the Cavaliers had multiple chances to take the game back. reversed, but in the end, it was in vain at a critical moment.
