300. decisive battle
"Oh~ The New York Knicks played a high-chao in offense! This was an extraordinary performance, JR. Smith performed extraordinaryly. He was in a state of no one on the basketball court. He rushed around, but no one could stop him from moving forward!"
"Although the Cleveland Cavaliers had a 2-point lead at the beginning of the fourth quarter, it is obvious that such a lead is not safe, because now their lead is gone!"
"Although the performance of the New York Knicks was not satisfactory since the start of the second half, fortunately, in the most critical quarter of the game, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the New York Knicks, who played at home, regained their confidence, and they found their feelings in the first quarter! They completely caught the Cleveland Cavaliers off guard! The situation on the court once again changed drastically, and the Cleveland Cavaliers who played away were once again at a disadvantage!"
After the third quarter, we had two minutes of rest between the quarters, and then the fourth quarter game began. For the two teams, the fourth quarter game is of course the masterpiece of this game. Whoever can play the fourth quarter game well, then obviously that side can win the key game!
After the start of the fourth quarter, it was obvious that the first side to take the lead was not the Cleveland Cavaliers who were leading after the first three quarters. Instead, the New York Knicks who played at home!
JR. Smith continued his excellent form in this game tonight. After scoring 9 points in a row after the start of the third quarter, JR. Smith started his offensive mode again.
He continued to score continuously like a thorny offensive end, and continued to help the New York Knicks tie the situation on the basketball court. Although the Cleveland Cavaliers fought desperately under the leadership of McEl Beasley and others, the New York Knicks quickly caught up with the gap in scores.
At the same time, since no one could limit JR. Smith's offense, the New York Knicks quickly overtook the score after equalizing the score just at the beginning of the fourth quarter. If it weren't for veteran Chauncey Billups who used his experience to control the rhythm of some games, then perhaps the Cleveland Cavaliers would have been immediately widened by the New Yorkers in the scores at the beginning of the fourth quarter!
Although at the end of the third quarter, the Cleveland Cavaliers led the New York Knicks with 84:82 points, not long after the fourth quarter game began, the New Yorkers quickly overtook the score.
In less than three minutes in the fourth quarter, the New York Knicks rewritten the score to 87:90. They not only closed the gap of 2 points, but also surpassed the Cleveland Cavaliers by 3 points in one fell swoop.
This situation will naturally make Byron Scott, the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers, feel unable to sit still, so the Cleveland Cavaliers soon asked them to have their first timeout in the fourth quarter. Although veteran Chauncey Billups temporarily controlled the situation for the Cleveland Cavaliers on the basketball court, Byron Scott knew that if he didn't do anything, it would take only minutes for the New Yorkers to widen the gap!
So at this time he did not dare to delay any more, so he quickly requested a timeout, and was also preparing to make adjustments to the lineup of the Cleveland Cavaliers on the basketball court.
At this time, Wu Dawei, the core of the team, was also ready to make a comeback. There were still the last 9 minutes left in the fourth quarter, and Wu Dawei also knew that in the last nine minutes, the final winner of this game tonight would be decided!
As a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Wu Dawei will of course hope that the final victory of the game will be the Cleveland Cavaliers who will play away. Whether it is for the team's nine consecutive victories or the New Yorkers' arrogance and domineeringness before the game, the Cleveland Cavaliers are very eager for this game!
They want to win this game and then return to Cleveland with a 10-game winning streak. Because they want to use a fierce winning streak to sweep their downturn in the first half of the season!
After all, although the 10-game winning streak and 9-game winning streak are just one win-win gap, they give people a completely different feeling! So if you can win 10-game winning streak, then why just stop at nine-game winning streak?
This is the idea of the entire Cleveland Cavaliers at this time, so before the start of this game, they had already made up their minds to win the game. Fortunately, before the start of this game, the Cleveland Cavaliers players were already prepared for the difficult process.
And the fact is indeed the case. Now, after playing a good lead in one quarter, the Cleveland Cavaliers immediately became the disadvantaged side. The 3-point gap behind at this time is that the Cleveland Cavaliers must catch up as soon as possible, because the game is about to end.
The 9-minute game time seems quite long, but the actual game is almost fleeting! So after the timeout, the Cleveland Cavaliers must immediately counterattack, especially now, it is still the home court of the New York Knicks.
If the opponent is allowed to lead for a long time, the emotions of the fans on the sidelines will gradually be mobilized. When the fans' emotions become, the atmosphere in the entire arena will naturally become different immediately. In this way, it will definitely be even more unfavorable for the Cleveland Cavaliers!
So the Cleveland Cavaliers must be eager to regain their advantage after the timeout, because only in this way can they have the opportunity to quickly overtake the score.
"Put it, guys!" Before the timeout, Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Byron Scott also applauded fiercely and shouted to all the Cleveland Cavaliers players in front of him: "This is the last quarter, we only need to hold on for another 9 minutes! It only takes 9 minutes to play our rhythm and our style, and we can make New Yorkers dirty on their own territory! Isn't this exactly what we want to see!?"
"This is the last chance to play our pace and we can decide the outcome of this game! Remember our plan before this game started? Take the victory away from New York!"
Taking advantage of the last second before the timeout, the team's head coach Byron Scott shouted to everyone. Now he looks a little nervous, which is certain, because the New York Knicks did play very well under the leadership of JR Smith.
If the team cannot re-set the score difference after the timeout, then in the fleeting fourth quarter game, the Cleveland Cavaliers' chances of winning the game tonight will become smaller and smaller!
So for Byron Scott, even though he was very confident in the game before the start of this game, he still couldn't help feeling uneasy at this moment.
Although the team has super stars like Wu Dawei, Dwight Howard, and reserve forces like Kyrie Irving, Danny Green. After all, the New Yorkers are in full swing at this time, and no one knows what the situation will be like.
The New York Knicks are currently leading by 3 points, and what's worse is that the ball is still in their hands. After returning from the timeout, the Cleveland Cavaliers will be the first to face a difficult problem that will test their defense.
After this timeout, New York Knicks head coach Mike Woodson, like Byron Scott, also put the five most outstanding players in his team back on the basketball court after the timeout.
Because he also knew that this timeout would be the final decisive battle of the game. He could not leave any further action at this time, because it would most likely ruin the team's hard-won good situation.
So after the timeout came back, both sides sent their respective core lineups, and the current situation of the New York Knicks is obviously better than that of them in the third quarter.jr. Smith's current scoring has reached 29 points, approaching the 30-point mark!
He is the best player in the New York Knicks tonight besides Cameron Anthony. It is precisely because of his existence that the New York Knicks can have such an outstanding situation at this time.
After returning from the timeout, the New Yorker held the ball. Although Raymond Felton performed extremely mediocrely in this game, the team's head coach Mike Woodson still chose him to be the team's starting No. 1 player at this time.
Because he has only one choice.
Raymond Felton continued his mediocrity on the basketball court. After half the game, he handed the ball to JR Smith, who had performed very well before, who held the ball outside the three-point line. The moment he got the ball, he had a ** attacking the basket.
Even at this time, Cameron Anthony had already mentioned the high position and wanted the ball, but obviously JR Smith was not ready to hand the ball in someone else's hands. His eyes were always staring at the basket, looking hungry! (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
