When the third game of the first round of the playoff series between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Brooklyn Nets ended, other games in the league were also in progress.
The Cleveland Cavaliers played smoothly in this round of series, and other matches were not without smooth duels. The teams that could almost play smoothly in the first round of series were basically high-ranking teams.
For example, the Miami Heat and the New York Knicks, which ranked first and second in the East at this time, are now ahead of their opponents 3:0 or 2:0 in the future.
Because of its strength in hard power, in the first round, high-ranking teams almost never encounter too many obstacles. Of course, this is not the case. In the West, the strength of the entire Western Conference is relatively balanced, even the Oklahoma City Thunder, which currently ranks first in the Western Conference, is not a rival that stands out in the first round.
During the offseason last year, the Houston Rockets attracted Jeremy Lin, Asik and James Harden, which have greatly enhanced their strength this season!
So in the first round of the competition with the Oklahoma City Thunder, as the more weak side, the Houston Rockets did not lose a thousand miles in the first round of games, like the Brooklyn Nets vs. the Cleveland Cavaliers.
In the Western Conference, the only series that may have been played in the current game is the San Antonio Spurs and the Los Angeles Lakers. Due to Kobe Bryant's injury, Steve Nash is completely unable to support the supreme glory of the Los Angeles Lakers!
They have been defeated from the first game, and the situation in which the Lakers are now in is almost no different from the Brooklyn Nets. In most people's eyes, they are already on the verge of being eliminated.
So at this time, although these two teams are in big cities, the league cannot save them. Apart from the huge gap in these rounds of duels, the other first round of the playoffs are still a little anxious.
The Cleveland Cavaliers and the Brooklyn Nets were not the first round of matches that attracted the most attention from the outside world. Because no matter which aspect, there were not many grudges or entanglements between the two sides, and the two teams had a huge gap in strength. Therefore, there were not many people paying attention to it.
However, perhaps not many people are paying attention to the matchup between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Brooklyn Nets, but there are countless people paying attention to Wu Dawei's data and performance every day!
Although he is destined to miss the regular season MVP this season, Wu Dawei's performance since his comeback has been extremely amazing.
So of course everyone will continue to pay attention to Wu Dawei's performance in the playoffs. Wu Dawei's performance in the third game will obviously make him more attention.
Especially his performance on the defensive end has helped the Cleveland Cavaliers win this game tonight. Naturally, it will make people more amazed.
Because in the current league, it is difficult to find another player who can use such a huge influence on the defensive end to affect the progress of the game. At least at present, there is indeed no other player who can not only change the situation on the basketball court on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end!
So it is precisely because of this that more and more people will feel regret for Wu Dawei. In the fourth season of his career, he still failed to win the regular season MVP trophy.
Due to the rules, even though Wu Dawei can be said to be the best player in this league, he still cannot win the MVP trophy before this season.
More and more people are predicting that the Cleveland Cavaliers will most likely defend their title this season, even if they are not over now, even the first round of the game is not over. However, Wu Dawei and his Cleveland Cavaliers' outstanding performance in the first round of the game against the Brooklyn Nets has made more and more people regain their confidence in them!
This is of course a great thing for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Because through the game, they have become more and more recognized. Although they did not play well at the start of the season due to injuries, their outstanding performance in the second half of the season and continued to the playoffs, they won the hearts of many fans for the Cleveland Cavaliers!
This is certainly good news for the Cleveland Cavaliers. They are now ahead of the Brooklyn Nets by a 3-0 advantage, and they believe that Game 4 of the series will be the time for them to end this round of the series!
The Cleveland Cavaliers have a consensus on this. Not only the Cleveland Cavaliers, but the Cleveland media are also very confident about this.
When Wu Dawei was just arriving in Brooklyn with his team, he was interviewed by the media and said that he was going to end this round of series in Brooklyn and was criticized by many New York media, the Cleveland media had a big quarrel with New Yorkers because of this.
And now, after Wu Dawei led the Cleveland Cavaliers to win the third game of the series at the home court of the Brooklyn Nets, the media in Cleveland naturally became more in power!
Of course, they must make good use of such an advantage at this time to vent the dissatisfaction of the New York media's previous dare to laugh at their team's core!
"The Cleveland Cavaliers are now ahead of the Brooklyn Nets with a 3-0 advantage in the series. Although there will be up to 4 games left in the series. But I think even the most arrogant New Yorker in the whole United States now, I dare not say that this series will be played for 7 games!? The Cleveland Cavaliers have completely taken the upper hand. The Brooklyn Nets may be able to compete with the Cleveland Cavaliers at a certain period, but it is only a certain period of the game, not a whole game! The huge gap in strength between the two sides actually makes this round of series not very suspense before the beginning, and it is actually the same now."
After the third game, Brian Windhorst, a reporter from the Cleveland Honesty Businessman, wrote a report praising the Cleveland Cavaliers while mocking the Brooklyn Nets. He was a team reporter who followed the Cleveland Cavaliers to New York, so Brian Windhorst of course had experienced the period when New York media mocked Wu Dawei before the third game.
So as a loyal fan of Wu Dawei, Brian Windhorst will of course help Wu Dawei fight back against the New York media who are famous for his arrogance!
"For the Cleveland Cavaliers, defeating a team from New York is nothing, because on our defensive path this season, the Cleveland Cavaliers will defeat at least two teams from New York!"
Originally, the New Yorkers hated Wu Dawei and his Cleveland Cavaliers very much, and the moment when this report by Blaine Windhorst was published in the newspaper, it would naturally cause another uproar!
Because there are only two teams in New York, one is the Brooklyn Nets, which is now competing with the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the other is the New York Knicks, which are highly anticipated by the New Yorkers this season!
So what the report of Brian Windhorst means means is something that one person can see. If the Cleveland Cavaliers successfully pass this round and the New York Knicks are also qualified to advance in the first round, then the Cleveland Cavaliers will meet the New York Knicks in the second round!
So obviously, what does Brian Windhorst mean? A New Yorker can understand the meaning contained in it! Naturally, how could this be accepted by New Yorkers at this time?!
In the eyes of New Yorkers, this report by Windhorst is truly arrogant. However, after Wu Dawei joined the Cleveland Cavaliers, his team really had the upper hand in the fight with the New York team. Whether it is the Brooklyn Nets who have just moved to Brooklyn, or the veteran New York Knicks, the Cleveland Cavaliers are all about winning or losing!
Even in the regular season of their lack of soldiers this season, the Cleveland Cavaliers were not at a disadvantage in the process of fighting these two teams!
From this point of view, Brian Windhorst didn't say much wrong. However, New Yorkers wouldn't care whether this was a bloody fact or a nonsense lie at this time!
After Wu Dawei first said that he would end this round of the series in New York, that is, after sweeping the Brooklyn Nets, the Cleveland media was so blatant that they not only despised the Brooklyn Nets, but also despised the New York Knicks, of course, the New Yorkers are intolerable!
Of course, they will definitely be hitting the Clevelanders head-on at this time. Of course, they hope to give the Cleveland Cavaliers some colors to see! However, in the first round of the series, they may not be able to make the Cleveland Cavaliers suffer...
