296. Kill two birds with one stone
In the middle of the third quarter, the Cleveland Cavaliers' away game against the New York Knicks, the two sides still couldn't tell the difference. Although the Cleveland Cavaliers changed their decline in the first half and became the leading side, what made them feel helpless was that although they were leading, they still could not turn such an advantage into a victory.
In other words, they are always unable to widen the score difference, and the score is always anxious. Although the Cleveland Cavaliers are the leading side, the leading score is always around 2 points and 3 points, and they have never been widened. Not to mention the double-digit lead, since the Cleveland Cavaliers became the leading side in the second half, they have never led such a score difference to more than 5 points!
This also makes the Cleveland Cavaliers have the advantage in the basketball court, but they always feel precarious. Because the New York Knicks are chasing behind them, it also makes the Cleveland Cavaliers feel a little embarrassed.
It feels like the New York Knicks were repeatedly chased by the Cleveland Cavaliers after the start of the second quarter.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are mainly unable to defend the opponent's core arrow Cameron Anthony Anthony currently has a performance of 30, which is a key factor in supporting the New York Knicks, which is the continued progress of the home game.
If the Cleveland Cavaliers want to widen the gap at this time, the best way for them is naturally to limit Cameron Anthony's score. And the best candidate among the Cleveland Cavaliers is naturally Wu Dawei.
And Wu Dawei has indeed been arranged by Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Byron Scott to be responsible for defending Cameron and Anthony. However, it seems that Wu Dawei's defensive effect is not good now. Although this did not affect Wu Dawei's performance on the offensive end tonight, it is undoubtedly that Wu Dawei did not beat Cameron and Anthony on both offense and defense like he did when he played against the New York Knicks before.
Although his offensive firepower was extremely strong tonight, he returned to the defensive end. Cameron Anthony's performance was not inferior to being at a disadvantage. This is also the reason why the Cleveland Cavaliers felt so embarrassed on the basketball court.
Everyone knows that if the Cleveland Cavaliers can solve Cameron and Anthony at this time, then they will basically solve the game. It’s just that obviously Wu Dawei has not yet found a good way to curb Cameron and Anthony’s pick-and-roll jump shot.
As the person involved, Wu Dawei is of course the person who is most anxious at this time. He wants to defend Cameron more than anyone else. Anthony is not just because he defends Cameron. Anthony is the key factor in whether the Cleveland Cavaliers can win this game tonight. At the same time, Wu Dawei will not allow a defeated player who has lost in front of him repeatedly to show off his power in front of him.
However, although he is very unhappy and dissatisfied now, Wu Dawei has to admit that Cameron Anthony is indeed the strongest opponent he has encountered so far in his comeback this season.
Although in the past, Wu Dawei solved Cameron Anthony and his New York Knicks from two to five. However, this time the situation reversed. From the beginning of the game, Wu Dawei and his Cleveland Cavaliers did not gain any advantage on the basketball court. Although they quickly recovered their disadvantage in the second quarter, Wu Dawei gradually overtook Cameron Anthony in personal performance. However, the Cleveland Cavaliers did not win this game tonight in a wave.
The scores were always anxious at this time, and although Cameron Anthony's hot state was not as terrifying as when he scored 10 points in a row at the opening, it was still a headache and difficult problem.
The score at this time was 75:73. The Cleveland Cavaliers were leading by two points, but they did not have the ball in their hands at this time, and the ball was in the hands of the New York Knicks who were playing at home.
In this way, the leading Cleveland Cavaliers' 2-point advantage is actually not reliable. They must play a wonderful and successful defense in the next defense to stop the New Yorkers' offense.
At this time, the New York Knicks would probably hand over the ball in their hands to Cameron Anthony, who has scored 30 points, so that the little melon will continue to catch up with the score difference for the team! In this way, naturally, the pressure on Wu Dawei will become greater than before.
In this quarter, he could not limit Cameron on the defensive end in a continuous period of defensive performance, which made him feel Alexander. At this time, the pressure came again, but Wu Dawei also knew that this was also an opportunity.
It was a chance to prove that he was still the same Wu Dawei as before. Not only the New York fans on the sidelines, but also the Cameron Anthony, who repeatedly provoked him in this game tonight, knew that he was still the same as before!
Wu Dawei knew that he could not let Cameron and Anthony go around anymore. He had to understand that although he had been injured for more than half a year, he was still the most unshakable number one player in the league!
Wu Dawei stood at the Cleveland Cavaliers' half-time three-point line, and Cameron Anthony ran towards him. The two strong men had a gladiator-like collision at the three-point line. In an instant, this collision did not separate the two people, but instantly made the two people entangled together!
Wu Dawei and Cameron Anthony were both unyielding at this time, and no one would give in. The battle between the two immediately attracted everyone's attention. Everyone was watching the stars of the two teams at this time.
Cameron Anthony finally got free in the battle. He stretched out a hand to ask for the ball at Raymond Felton who controlled the ball. At this time, Raymond Felton, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly handed the ball to Cameron Anthony's hands.
Seeing that the Knicks player was Cameron Anthony, he immediately held his breath and concentrated in the seat of the Cleveland Cavaliers on the sidelines. At the same time, the New York fans on the sidelines also cheered immediately.
Cameron Anthony faced Wu Dawei's defense in this quarter and had completed the offense one after another, so this time, the New Yorkers hope that Cameron Anthony can continue to give Wu Dawei a little color.
However, for Cameron Anthony at this time, he knew that the situation was not very good. Because he wanted to be in the middle distance before, but Wu Dawei refused to give in, and obviously he was angry!
A fierce Wu Dawei is difficult to deal with. Cameron Anthony is very clear about this. For Wu Dawei, the two are old opponents, because Wu Dawei started from the game between the Cavaliers and the Nuggets.
So the two of them are a pair of opponents who know the truth. Naturally, at this time, Cameron Anthony, who held the ball, quickly smelled an unusual smell. He knew that Wu Dawei would definitely be far more serious in the next defense than before.
So he naturally had to be more cautious. Although the game is indeed very anxious now, the pressure on the New York Knicks is very high, or Cameron Anthony is very high at the moment.
Because after all, the New York Knicks are still behind at the moment, they gave the Cleveland Cavaliers 2 points behind at home with 73:75. If Cameron Anthony can score this offense, there is no doubt that the New York Knicks will be able to recover the gap in the score again. This is of course a good result, and the better result is to choose a shot outside the three-point line at this time, so that the New York Knicks can overtake the gap again at this time when the second half is so unfavorable! This is the best result for the New York Knicks in this offense.
But if Cameron Anthony fails to score this goal, then the New York Knicks' nightmare is coming, because they not only fail to equalize the gap, but will also leave the Clevelanders the opportunity to continue to expand their lead!
Of course this is definitely bad news!
So at this time, Cameron Anthony, who received the ball almost near the center line, had a lot of twists and turns in his mind at this time. He was thinking about how to end this attack.
He looked at Wu Dawei who was ready to go on the three-point line and knew that Wu Dawei would definitely not easily let him break into the inside line this time. Almost most of the 30 that Cameron Anthony has obtained tonight is obtained by jump shots.
In other words, Cameron Anthony is very hot now, and Cameron Anthony himself is very clear about this. So he was thinking about what method to use to attack the basket in the next attack.
However, Cameron Anthony did not hesitate for too long. After receiving the pass, he threw a look at Tyson Chandler in the inside. Chandler immediately understood and ran up, and then ran to Wu Dawei's body at the three-point line, ready to pick-and-roll for Cameron Anthony at any time.
When Tyson Chandler was in place, Cameron Anthony, who was standing outside the three-point line, was about to start attacking. He began to dribble slowly, slowly tried to get close to the three-point line, and then suddenly accelerated and rushed over!
Faced with this situation, Wu Dawei, who was standing on the three-point line, did not choose to go around from behind like before. This time, Wu Dawei rushed forward! Because Cameron Anthony had just rushed forward two steps, he stopped and jumped up!
A quick stop jump shot outside the three-point line!
Cameron Anthony's choice of action this time was very bold, but when he jumped up, he was shocked. Because Wu Dawei's figure appeared in front of him, he caught him off guard.
Because before that, when Wu Dawei defended the pick-and-roll, he chose to go backwards or go backwards in advance, and he rarely squeezed over to the line because Tyson Chandler's pick-and-roll quality is very high and he always easily blocked Wu Dawei, so he rarely chooses like this.
And this time, Cameron Anthony's choice of offensive method was unexpected, and Wu Dawei's actions were also unexpected!
When Cameron Anthony jumped in the air, he had no choice. He tried to throw the ball into the basket, but this time the ball had not even taken action, and he was slapped down by Wu Dawei in front of him!
Everyone was completely shocked at this time! The entire Madison Garden Square was silent for a moment! New York fans were completely unpredictable of this emergency, because before that, Cameron Anthony used the pick-and-roll to beat Wu Dawei without any power to fight back, but this time...
From Cameron Anthony's offensive choice to Wu Dawei's defensive choice to the final result, it was extremely surprising! No one expected that such a result would be, because this is what New Yorkers least want to see.
But that's how it happened now, and when Wu Dawei slammed Cameron Anthony's shot from outside the three-point line, the New Yorkers were immediately welcomed by the Cleveland Cavaliers' counterattack like a tide!
The ball that was blown away by Wu Dawei was first grabbed by the alert Kyrie Irving. Raymond Felton dragged his fat body, which was no match for the light Kyrie Irving.
Almost in a blink of an eye, the ball was put into his arms by Kyrie Irving. Then, he completed a one-stop dunk in the first half of the New York Knicks!
77:73!
After the dunk, the score became 4 points! The Cleveland Cavaliers' players were in full swing, but obviously Wu Dawei was even more excited at this time. Because he finally let out a good sigh of anger, he also helped the team slightly widen the gap.
It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone! There is no doubt that Wu Dawei's block and Kyrie Irving's quick drop will definitely have a miraculous effect at this time. Although the score difference is still only 4 points, it will bring a huge morale blow to New Yorkers! (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
