114. The Resentment of New Yorkers
Wu Dawei once again used his defense to change the progress of the game, which gave Knicks coach Mike D'Anthony a headache. If a player has a good offense in a game, he can use a player with a better defense to defend him; and if a player uses defense to influence the game, it will be difficult to get started.
Even if you let the player who is facing him keeps feinting on the offensive end, it is impossible to curb the opponent's defense. The situation on the court is changing rapidly, and switching defense is something that happens almost every round or run.
So he had no choice but to let Wilson Chandler swim towards the weak side of the ball when there was no very good opportunity. Although such a reminder could easily cause Chandler to lose his self-confidence, everyone knows what such words mean.
But in the same way, it did alleviate the pressure on the Knicks on the offensive end. The shadow Wu Dawei caused to them was not only his fierce steals and blocks, but also his aggressive defensive action.
However, the Cleveland Cavaliers still gained a lead at the end of the first half. In the second season, they not only successfully curbed the Knicks' offense led by Amare Stoudemire, but also played the defensive counterattack they were good at.
Wu Dawei's several key defenses are an important factor in destroying the opponent's offense and driving his own counterattack. As a player who was unknown last season, as this season progresses slowly, Wu Dawei has begun to play an increasingly important role in the Cavaliers.
He is slowly considering the tactical core of head coach Byron Scott, completing the pace of climbing up step by step.
50:43, the Cavaliers led the New York Knicks at home in halftime by 7 points. Although 7 points is not a very big disadvantage, it is enough to make the New Yorkers at home feel discouraged.
They attach great importance to this game, not only because Wu Dawei, the All-Star vote, leads Amare Stoudemire, but also because the two teams have only one win so far.
Stoudemire scored 18 points in the first half, which was enough to make the New Yorkers happy, but they were not happy because the team was behind their opponents. Moreover, the Chinese guy who disliked them also scored 12 points, 3 steals and 2 blocks in the first half, and he still performed extraordinary in defensive and defensive counterattacks.
And more importantly, the Knicks head coach Mike D'Anthony has no choice but to do anything about it. This is unacceptable to them, because in their eyes, Wu Dawei is a parallel product, but their team can't even limit it? So how can they talk about rising this season?
The lead in the first half and his good condition tonight made Wu Dawei in a good mood. The moment the whistle at the end of the midfield sounded, he and his teammates stood up and walked towards the players' passage.
On the way, he saw the fat New York boy who had been laughing at him in the game before. At this time, the guy looked frustrated, obviously because his team had a huge lead.
"Hey, handsome guy, you have a really good figure!" So, when Wu Dawei passed by him, he gave him praise without hesitation.
The fat boy ignored Wu Dawei. He glanced at Wu Dawei and turned his eyes away, but he muttered something, obviously greeting Wu Dawei or someone else. But other New York fans stopped doing it. They were always the only ones who laughed at others in Madison Garden Square. When will it be the turn of the foreigners to act as a hero on their territory?!
New Yorkers in metropolitan cities obviously have a proud face. Although Cleveland is also the fourth largest city in the United States, New Yorkers do not take this city seriously at all. What is the place where this country bumpkin stays!?
Wu Dawei also doesn't care about the self-contributing thoughts of these New Yorkers. He just wondered why the Cavaliers are leading the way now, so why are these New Yorkers still arrogant and arrogant?
"They feel really good about themselves."
Wu Dawei muttered to Ramon Sessions beside him.
"Otherwise, how could they claim to be a wealthy team? A team that has not even entered the playoffs for the past few years, but they say they are the wealthy teams in the basketball world..."
Ramon Sessions said that he was in a good mood when chatting with Wu Dawei. Because he played for 8 minutes in the second quarter, he was replaced by head coach Byron Scott until less than 4 minutes left in the second quarter.
He was in good shape tonight, contributing 5 assists in the second quarter. His ability to pass the ball in the fast break and his outstanding performance in positional battles left a deep impression on head coach Byron Scott tonight.
It is precisely because of this that Scott pressed his main No. 1 position on the bench until the end of the second quarter.
Although the Cavaliers did not defend Amare Stoudemier tonight, they successfully curbed the attacks of other players except Stoudemier, which is their secret to leading tonight.
Of course, this is no secret. Even Spike Lee, who was sitting on the sidelines, could see that through the scoring system on the big screen, he clearly saw the miserable shooting percentage of the rest of the team except Amare Stoudemire.
New Yorkers understand that if they want to succeed, it is far from enough to have one star. Therefore, New Yorkers are more eager for the arrival of Cameron Anthony. If Anthony is present tonight, they believe that the situation will change greatly.
Wu Dawei will not gain any advantage in Cameron Anthony. The similar height and weight of the two determine that they will be evenly matched physically; but Anthony's kaleidoscope-like offensive methods will definitely make Wu Dawei busy.
There will be no more exciting steals and blocks, and it will be even more impossible to frequently have defensive counterattack scenes!
Although New Yorkers hate Wu Dawei very much, they now admit some facts while missing Anthony. Then Wu Dawei's performance on the defensive end is indeed an amazing performance.
There are many old fans who have watched the game for decades, but they are sure that they have watched the game for so many years and have never seen a player like Wu Dawei. A player who really uses defense to influence the game is not without such players in the league, but even the best Ben Wallace has existed much lower than Wu Dawei.
Those wonderful steals and blocks were deeply imprinted into people's hearts and began to slowly become Wu Dawei's logo.
Even Emma Roberts, a 99% ball blind, understood that Wu Dawei's performance in the first half was perfect through those blocks and steals. But she was unhappy because this was not the result she wanted.
If Wu Dawei can throw a dog and eat shit in the game, then it will be the most fun thing for Emma.
"yawn!"
Wu Dawei sat on the chair in the visiting team's locker room and sneezed several times. He sniffed. Damn, who was scolding me!?
The conditions in the visiting team's locker room at Madison Garden Square are not very good, but compared with those from Detroit and Minnesota, it is better. Their air conditioners are a bit out of control.
Maybe it was a cold... Wu Dawei shook his head and cursed that the New Yorker was so immoral, and turned his attention back to head coach Byron Scott.
The team played smoothly in the first half, and although there were some small storms in the middle, they were quickly extinguished. So Scott felt that the game might end soon.
