After Big Z came off the court, the Cavaliers' offensive and defensive transition speed did improve.
Anyway, it is no longer like before, when facing the Heat's successful defense and holding the rebound, there is no way to fight back.
Now, they can at least keep up with the Heat's offensive and defensive transition speed.
But this seems to be the only good news.
With Big Z off the court, the Cavaliers no longer have the height advantage inside. Boozer averaged 11.4 rebounds per game. Essentially, like Woody, he relied on someone at the fifth position to block his position.
Once there is no one to block the position for him, but like Miles, he needs help to block the position, and his rebounding ability drops a lot.
In addition, when Big Z is off the court, no one else on this team has much ability to hold the ball.
Including Boozer.
He is actually a smaller version of Karl Malone.
Pick-and-roll offense is his strength.
Don't count on him to hold the ball and organize the two parties.
He just relied on shooting and cutting, averaging 15.5 points per game.
Speaking of which, the only difference between Woody and him is his stable mid-range skills.
If he can fully develop the mid-range, then on the offensive end, his presence will not be as weak as it is now, and the offensive tactics Stan Van Gundy can develop for him will not be so thin.
Of course, Woody certainly doesn't want his third template to just enhance some of his mid-range potential.
Either let him maximize his ball-handling offense, or maximize his "shooting talent tree".
After all, it’s 100,000 achievement points!
This time, before upgrading the system, you have to wash your hands and face again to fill up the damn ritual!
Due to the demise of Big Z, the Cavaliers' weaknesses in these two aspects have led to the Heat's increasing frequency of secondary attacks during this period.
Miles wanted to give Woody some color.
But there is a difference between having great physical fitness and having great physical fitness.
His physical fitness is far different from Woody's.
In particular, this guy's most astonishing jumping and explosive power in terms of physical fitness are exactly Woody's strengths, which allows Woody to easily achieve "rank suppression".
In addition, the problem of not having a ball holder has become a burden for LeBron James.
Now the operation of the entire team requires him to respond...
From organization to passing to "star singles" after passing the ball and there is no room to shoot, he is the Cavaliers' first choice.
At 4 minutes and 13 seconds of the first quarter, the Cavaliers scored their first 2 points.
After the pick-and-roll between LeBron James and Boozer, Miles was suddenly given a "magic touch" inside.
The main reason for this ball was that Grant did not react. Otherwise, this would not have been a beautiful pass, but a beautiful steal by Grant.
Anyway, Kenny Smith watched the replay of the ball and said, "If Woody was defending Grant on this ball, it might have directly resulted in a steal!"
At this time, the Heat's score has exceeded 13 points.
Yes, before the Cavaliers launched this attack, the Heat started tonight with a 13-0 scoring surge.
The goals scored one after another, so smoothly.
Barkley said: "Actually, there's nothing surprising. After all, this is just a game between the No. 2 player in the Eastern Conference and the No. 12 player in the Eastern Conference."
Although it is said that "rookies are pecking each other" in the East, there is still a difference between the "rookies" and the "rookies".
The Cavaliers are truly the belly of the fish and the younger brother of the younger brothers.
Therefore, even if the Cavaliers finally broke the "scoring drought", their entire offensive state did not have any momentum at all.
In the following two rounds, the Cavaliers ended up with two more iron balls.
On the contrary, the Heat's score in the first quarter reached 15 points with Wade's 1 of 2 free throws.
The more LeBron plays, the more uncomfortable he becomes.
Because after the opponent gained such a big lead, not only did they not relax, but they even more concentrated on his double-teaming.
Now as soon as he gets the ball, the Heat will immediately stand in a "pocket formation", waiting for him to break through inside.
Although Wade looks dumb, his explosive power and confrontation ability really make him look good.
When LeBron fought against him, he couldn't take much advantage at all.
"Snapped!"
As he attacked the frame again, he was slapped away by Woody.
There was only 1 minute and 23 seconds left in the first quarter.
When Silas saw that the opponent had no intention of substituting, he could only wave his hand and replace LeBron James and other main players.
As soon as they made a substitution, the Heat also made a substitution immediately.
At the end of the first quarter, the score was 29 to 9.
The Heat have already opened up a 20-point difference...
It can be seen from the score that the Heat were not only strong offensively tonight, but also very strong defensively. They actually only allowed the Cavaliers to score 9 points in a single quarter.
Although this record is not the lowest record for an NBA team in a single quarter.
Not long ago, in the game between the Warriors and the Raptors, the Raptors just prevented the Warriors from scoring 2 points in a single quarter.
This tied them with the 1997 Lakers.
At that time, they allowed the Mavericks to score only 2 points in a single quarter, their lowest record in a game.
Although the record of 9 points is still far behind that of 2 points.
But it’s low enough…
When LeBron James came off the court, his whole head was lowered.
After the entire first quarter, he only scored 2 points, in addition to 1 assist, and made 3 turnovers.
On the Cavaliers, apart from Boozer, he has the best statistics.
Of course, this is purely "laughing at the fifty steps".
Compared with him, Woody scored 6 points at the beginning of the first quarter and scored a total of 10 points in the entire first quarter.
One person's points can be worth as much as the entire Cavaliers team.
In addition, there were 6 rebounds.
As far as the current situation is concerned, tonight is another "big victory night" for the Heat, and according to the Heat's "law of winning", it is naturally another night for Woody to score gorgeous statistics.
The game had just finished the first quarter, and it was over before our eyes.
Such a one-sided situation is something that no one thought of!
"LeBron..." Barkley looked weird. He wanted to say, he really couldn't help him up!
All the ball rights are concentrated in his hands, and he can use them hard.
No matter what the team is like, at least the data will not be bad!
Bill Walton said: "Silas made a very unwise decision. He should not have put Big Z off the court. LeBron needs him to cause damage in the interior."
Without him on the court, the entire Heat team can keep an eye on LeBron James.
Take advantage of his inconsistent shooting and double-team him resolutely.
With how fast the Heat are helping each other defend, don't even say that LeBron James is as strong as a truck. Even if he were a real truck here, he wouldn't be able to use it.
Drexler said very directly: "The impact of the Cavaliers sending away Ricky Davis has emerged. LeBron James lacks a teammate to help him attract offense from the outside. The two people traded by the Celtics , completely does not have the offensive ability with the ball like Davis..."
The words "glider" made a black man in a mansion in Boston immediately perform "gliding and kneeling in the living room", and he even wanted to open a bottle of champagne!
Yeah!
If you can speak, speak more. This is the impact of not having me on the team.
LeBron James doesn't have me to control him, so where will he get the space to break through?
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Cavaliers' overall offensive posture remained unchanged.
Kenny Smith also pointed out Boozer's problem tonight: "Compared with previous shootings, his shooting is a little less decisive. Often opportunities come up, but he can't take them decisively!"
Boozer: I want to be firm!
But Woody, who could easily shake him off every time, would jump back in front of him at almost the speed of light every time, constantly causing interference.
That look seemed to say:
I can make countless mistakes, but you only get one chance.
Don't let me catch you, "bald guy"!
You said, how could Boozer not hesitate?
Finally, at a critical moment when the Cavaliers needed someone to step up, Boozer bravely gave it a try.
But the result...
The ball just flew out of his hands.
"Snapped!"
A big shot of the ball was sent directly to the backcourt, and Wallace caught up with a one-handed dunk.
But LeBron chased him from nowhere, and when he stretched out his one arm and wanted to dunk, he "overtook in the corner" and hit him head-on.
"Bang!"
LeBron showed his terrifying power and destroyed Wallace's dunk.
But as soon as he landed, a black shadow with the sound of wind came directly towards him.
He subconsciously wanted to dodge, but the impact had already knocked him out of the bottom line.
"Bang!"
Woody performed "The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole is behind". Here, LeBron James completed the chase. He took the ball and immediately avenged Wallace, completing the dunk against LeBron James.
mock up!
I can't catch you yet?
When Woody saw LeBron James chasing Wallace, he immediately realized that his opportunity had come.
As a "good brother", his favorite thing is "chasing the big hat", which can fully display his historical talent.
Woody, who was well aware of his habit, took advantage of the situation and successfully completed the dunk.
LeBron dodged several times in this game, but he still got the chance!
The cheers that had just started because of LeBron James' "chasing the big hat" suddenly disappeared.
Woody immediately muted Cleveland again.
LeBron James watched Woody land, still in a daze.
He was just about to take the "overlord step"!
Is this the legendary "failed to show off but was raped instead"?
At the end of the first half, the Heat's offensive status showed ups and downs, but they still successfully opened the point difference to more than 25 points.
After two quarters, Woody's personal statistics column has reached 17 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal!
If this continues, his personal single-game scoring record may be broken tonight.
With the Cavaliers' defense, he would have no pressure to score another 13 points in the second half!
Hey, it has to be my "good brother" LeBron.
Are you planning to "kill" yourself again for the enjoyment of your brothers?
He also didn't expect LeBron James' performance tonight to be so poor.
At halftime, they only scored 5 points.
The Heat's defense against him is incredible!
In a disappointed silence, the entire Cavaliers team returned to the home team locker room.
On the way back, LeBron James didn't dare to look up at all, for fear of meeting the eyes of a Cleveland fan and seeing the deep disappointment in his eyes.
Silas looked at the bad mood of the whole team, and he knew very well that this game was finalized.
He just said two symbolic words of encouragement, but it can be seen from the sparse response that his words did not have any effect.
The third quarter lasted 3 minutes and 45 seconds, and the point difference between the two sides further widened to 28 points.
If it continues, before the end of the third quarter, I am afraid that the point difference will be more than 35 points.
In desperation, Silas called another timeout.
After this timeout, he is ready to replace all the main players.
At the beginning of the third quarter, he put Big Z back on the court.
Used to protect the backboard and increase ball handlers.
But the rebounding and ball-holding problems have been alleviated, and the offensive-defensive transition problem at the beginning of the game has resurfaced.
The Cavaliers are now tossing a coin, tossing heads and tails, but the same sentence is written on both sides:
It’s hopeless, farewell!
The Heat's tactical system is too restrained against Big Z!
Without Big Z on the field, relying only on LeBron James, there is no way to clear the offensive end.
so……
Vote!
To put it bluntly, this is just a regular season game.
The Cavaliers have lost so far in the new season, so this time is not bad at all, right?
What Silas didn't expect was that when he was about to replace all the main players and wave the white flag to surrender with the "water cooler players", LeBron James expressed his thoughts: "Coach, I want to hold on... …”
Silas thought: Here we go again...
Do you want to hold on a little longer?
I'm embarrassed to expose you!
Okay, so far in this game, I have only scored 6 points, 2 rebounds, and 1 assist, but I have made 4 turnovers. It’s true that we should “brush” more, no, we should continue to persevere!
Showing rookie fearlessness...
Forget it, I can’t edit it anymore.
He nodded, acquiescing to LeBron James's behavior.
In this way, James returned to the field with four "water cooler" teammates.
There was a little more confidence in his eyes.
According to his assumption, since Silas waved the "white flag", the other side would definitely...
"Army attack"?
What the hell is this!
LeBron James looked stunned. He really wanted to rub his eyes to see if he was dazzled.
no……
We have replaced the main players, haven't you seen?
Why do you still have all the main players on the court?
Then how can I "brush"? No, it's about performance!
What a shame!
Family members, who knows?
The lead is almost 30 points, and all the main players are on the court!
LeBron James's eyes dimmed again.
In the remainder of the third quarter, due to the large gap in strength between the two sides, this already one-sided game became even more bloody.
The Heat even went on an 11-1 scoring surge in the last 3 minutes of the third quarter.
The score difference suddenly reached more than 40 points!
LeBron James originally wanted to try again, but it turned out that he was really a "teammate CBA". Under the defense of the Heat's entire main lineup, he made 0 of 3 shots and even made 2-0 free throws, without scoring a single point. , but made another mistake.
Now the "Little Emperor of ESPN" is completely trapped.
Now let’s take a break!
His numbers got worse.
If he doesn't take a break, his data might get worse. At the same time...
The point difference has reached 43 points, and it is about to reach 50 points.
Don’t talk about martial ethics!
A bunch of people bullied me, an 18-year-old rookie!
LeBron James is shouting "get down" again.
In the end, he decided to stay on the court in the fourth quarter.
He couldn't believe it. With such a big point difference, the opponent would continue to put the starting players on the field.
One cannot...
At least it shouldn't be...
What a fart!
Wow!
These people!
LeBron James was completely speechless.
Why are all the Heat's main players still on the court?
This time, there was no suspense at all. The fourth quarter was still a massacre by the Heat.
And as the score difference continues to rise, the excitement of these animals also continues to rise, with wave after wave of attacks.
"Wow~~"
At 9 minutes and 45 seconds of the fourth quarter, a young fan on the sidelines finally couldn't help but let out a loud cry.
This scene is so bloody!
These kids who looked up to the Cavaliers players, especially LeBron James, were scared to tears.
A large number of fans began to leave the scene.
LeBron is so miserable, the Cavaliers are so miserable, they really can't stand it anymore.
The current score is displayed on the big screen at the scene:
96 to 43…
The score difference has exceeded 50 points!
That’s 53 points!
The powerful Heat team continued to slaughter.
Finally, the final buzzer that Clevelanders had been waiting for sounded.
The score difference is fixed at 58 points!
LeBron James immediately ran towards the home team's tunnel at the same time as the whistle sounded.
Woody paid special attention to his position this time because he failed to catch him during the last McDonald's All-Star Weekend, but this time he still failed to intercept him.
Good guy!
When this guy runs the fastest, he's not on the court!
Is this considered a talent?
Another person who refused to hug was Cavaliers head coach Silas.
At this time, he had to express his position and left with a curse.
"We have already replaced all the main players, but the Heat did not immediately replace the main players. This is really unethical and I am disappointed with it!"
Stan Van Gundy had already prepared his reply: "It turns out that the opponent has given up the game. I had no idea because I saw LeBron James was still on the court and I thought they hadn't given up yet!"
After all, this is the core player of this team!
Not even the Cleveland media could find fault with this.
They can't say that LeBron James surrendered to the Cavaliers on the court, right?
That would be tantamount to setting yourself up for trouble.
Moreover, they may not be in the mood to find fault tonight.
The much-anticipated LeBron James VS Woody before the game was very hyped.
Most media are more optimistic about the Heat and Woody.
But the media in Cleveland believe even more that LeBron James can perform better. Even if they may not win the game, as long as LeBron James performs better, it is equivalent to winning!
result……
The game was indeed not won!
But LeBron James also suffered a disastrous defeat!
At the end of the game, LeBron James played 41 minutes and 32 seconds, but only had 8 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, and 6 turnovers.
But Woody scored 31 points, 20 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals!
They are simply two extremes.
There is also a difference between being born in Akron and being born in Akron!
If it weren't for such a big reaction, how could the Cleveland fans who love LeBron leave the game early.
At least tonight, they don't want to continue to love LeBron James for the time being.
There were even some regrets.
Woody was interviewed by reporters on the sidelines and said: "Unfortunately, this time I was not able to shake hands and hug LeBron after the game, but I believe that he will send me the $50,000 bet as soon as possible! "
The reporter was also experienced and immediately asked, "So Woody, what will you use the $50,000 for?"
Woody said: "I will devote all my time to Akron's basketball development. I played there and I know there are many talented guys there. After I made a bet with LeBron, I already wanted to Okay, I’m going to do something like this!”
"LeBron said that this bet supports my continuous improvement. There is nothing wrong with this, but what I want to say is that what really sticks with me is my motivation to do these things after getting this money!"
"I have the money to do something like this, but I believe it would make more sense!"
"Guys, maybe you will envy others who have better talents, but as long as you work hard, you can be like me and win 50,000 dollars from a proud man like LeBron James!"
When Woody was eloquent and said the above words, all the spotlights could no longer accommodate other people, and they all focused on him.
The reporter who interviewed him had shock in his eyes.
This kid...
I don’t want to leave any way for LeBron James to survive!
After Woody finished speaking, he turned to look at the sidelines.
There, Stephen Curry's little hands were almost red.
In the dead Quicken Loans Arena, he is a different kind of scenery!
Another person who cheered loudly was "Magic" Johnson in front of the TV. His palms were almost red.
EJ-chan seemed to be attracted to him and ran over to take a look curiously.
At this time, the TV camera showed a close-up of Woody.
Under the focus of the audience, Woody looked so dazzling.
EJ, I can't move my eyes away.
Johnson looked at him like this and was very satisfied: "Guys, you must become such a guy in the future!"
EJ-chan didn't speak. He continued to look at Woody on the TV screen, becoming more and more fascinated. Didn't hear what Johnson said at all.
Early the next morning, the game between the Cavaliers and the Heat was all over the country.
The 58-point difference was the seventh-largest in NBA regular season history.
It was the largest point difference since the Pacers beat the Trail Blazers by 65 points in 1998.
Interestingly, the current largest point difference in the NBA regular season is also created by the Cavaliers and Heat.
However, the identities of the two people have changed.
In 1991, the Cavaliers defeated the Heat by 68 points, creating the largest regular season point difference in NBA team history.
All I can say is that those who messed around will have to pay back.
Twelve years later, exactly after a cycle, the Heat defeated the Cavaliers by 58 points last night, which was considered humiliating.
Don't forget that they only allowed the Cavaliers to score 9 points in the first quarter!
Clevelanders are unhappy...
Because this happened exactly when they thought the Cavaliers were about to turn around, when what they considered a "son of the city" entered Cleveland...
What's even worse than this is that the two people's personal data in this game are almost completely different.
LeBron James had 8 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block and 6 turnovers. Woody had 31 points, 20 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals!
Among them, Woody's 31 points also set a new personal single-game high in his career so far.
This is the first time in his career that he has scored 30 points in a single game.
Naturally, this is the first time to get such terrifying data as "30 plus 20"!
It just happened in front of Cleveland fans.
It happened to be during this "Akron civil war"!
It’s really disappointing for the people of Cleveland.
Woody's remarks after the game made him a passionate supporter among the Akron media.
Just kidding, that’s $50,000!
For Akron, which is not wealthy, it is a considerable amount of money for basketball construction.
"Woody will always be the pride of Akron!" 》
This is Akron's top local media outlet.
Not a word about LeBron James was heard at all, it was all enthusiastic praise for Woody.
It is said that the rental house where Woody and Wu Erzhuang lived has become a "famous scenic spot" in Akron. Every day, many fans spontaneously go to "the place where Woody made his fortune" to pay their respects.
There are also countless Akron basketball teenagers who devoutly request the protection of "Woody the God of Basketball" so that they can realize the "true meaning of basketball" like Woody. As for LeBron James...
Anyway, from the perspective of the Akron boy now...
Ha~
Just a foil for Woody!
The Miami media is not ready to let LeBron James go: "I've said it for a long time, when Woody's playing time reaches the level of LeBron James, he can produce even more explosive data!"
Woody played a total of 38.45 minutes in this game against the Cavaliers, just over 1 minute less than LeBron James.
Because almost all of the players he played behind were "water cooler players" from the Cavaliers, so he actually had an easy time.
With such a comparison of Chi Guoguo's data in front of us, not to mention, the words of the Miami media really made many media believe this point of view. Let's put it this way, after this game, Woody's momentum completely overwhelmed LeBron James.
There is no way, the gap is really too big!
It was so big that even "die-hard James fans" like ESPN chose to remain silent the day after the game.
They also want to brag about LeBron, but they really can't find the direction!
In addition, the view that "Ricky Davis should not be traded" has gradually become mainstream after this game.
It is obvious that LeBron James does not have the ability to monopolize power. He needs someone from the outside to help contain him.
"It's a pity that the Cavaliers chose to send Ricky Davis away so that he could grow more steadily!"
The general manager of the Cavaliers looked at this report and cursed with great pain: "I know he still has to take the blame!"
But what he didn't expect was that the Goodman brothers actually dared to find him: "Man, this game actually shows that Paul Silas is not suitable to be LeBron James' head coach. He doesn't know how to do it." Develop LeBron, and he also has a big problem with the use of these players in the Cavaliers!"
The biggest problem for the Cavaliers is you two!
Jimmy's eyes were opened. The Goodman brothers found a new reason so quickly!
Is it true that as long as LeBron James continues to lose, you will continue to make excuses for him?
Can't you admit that his current immediate combat ability is indeed not strong?
He is only 18!
Is it so difficult to admit that he is weak?
"Paul Silas has won three championship trophies. He is a player and head coach with championship experience. Believe me, no one is more suitable for the position of head coach of the Cavaliers than him at this stage. Well, I still If you have something to do, let’s just say this much first!”
This time he firmly rejected the Goodman brothers' offer.
Listening to the busy signal on the phone, Aaron Goodman frowned slightly and looked at his brother: "I think the biggest problem is actually this general manager!"
The struggle between the Cavaliers management and LeBron's team became even more anxious after this game.
At the same time, major domestic basketball-related media and social software also mentioned this game.
When domestic fans learned that Woody defeated LeBron James by 58 points in a direct contest with LeBron James and scored 30 plus 20 points, there were all kinds of exaggerating comments:
"Woody is so strong! Much stronger than Dayao in his rookie season!"
"This guy is really perverted. Otherwise, how could he become the fifth overall pick in the first round of the NBA after playing basketball for just one year? This is the golden generation of 2003!"
"Brothers, I suddenly discovered that Woody's number is 95, 95/95. Doesn't this mean the 95th? Woody is going to become the emperor of the NBA!"
"The NBA already has a basketball emperor named Chamberlain, but there can also be another Chinese basketball emperor Woody!"
"The person upstairs, Chamberlain, whose surname is Zhang, is not also the Emperor of Chinese Basketball? Isn't this important?"
…
It was also in these comments that people gradually discovered Woody's jersey number.
However, the discussion about the jersey has not expanded, because domestic fans have noticed that this time has reached a very sensitive period.
December 25th is the American New Year!
When this year is over, the annual All-Star starting voting channel will open...
"To be honest, last year I voted for Yao based on my passion, but this year I have more confidence!"
"This year, Woody must be voted into the All-Star starting lineup!"
"One Chinese starter in the East, one Chinese starter in the West, and a Chinese derby appears during the All-Star Weekend. Wow, I didn't expect this to happen!"
"Last year there was a lot of controversy, but this year there shouldn't be that much controversy!"
…
Woody's explosive performance made all domestic fans restless and can't wait to see the voting channel for the All-Star starter open!
Last year they helped Yao Ming shock the Americans, and this time they want to help Woody do the same thing!
Ricky Davis' words are just rumors. He never said that I thought LeBron was here to help me. His original words were that LeBron is a good addition to the Cavaliers, and he and I will have good cooperation. Just like I am with Paul Pierce right now. Brothers who don’t believe it can check it out for themselves.
