538. Achilles heel

If the New York Knicks really win the final victory in the first round of the series, their opponent in the next round will be the Cleveland Cavaliers.

For the New York media, this should have been their best chance to take revenge. But now, before the start of this round of series, the New York media are feeling particularly headache and worry about this.

Although the New York Knicks performed well in the first round of the series, they could not cover up the flaws exposed by this team in the first round of the game.

Moreover, in the eyes of New York media, these flaws will make the New York Knicks at a completely disadvantage in the competition with the Cleveland Cavaliers. So at this time, New York media will of course feel anxious about this.

They really hope to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers so that they can shut up the arrogant Clevelanders, and then they can also laugh at each other unscrupulously.

Now, if the New York Knicks play against the Cleveland Cavaliers in this situation, then in the eyes of New York media, the New York Knicks will not be able to get a good result.

Because the Cleveland Cavaliers are so good now, and a New York Knicks with major flaws will be difficult to become such a Cleveland Cavaliers opponent.

So the more this happens, the more the media in New York will feel dissatisfied with the coaching of Mike Woodson, the current New York Knicks coach. Because he has not yet come up with a solution.

And it seems that he has no intention of solving it, as if he is just going to let the team continue like this.

He seemed to have nothing to do with this, as if he didn't think it was a big problem. But the more he did, the more angry the New York reporters would feel!

Because in their opinion, Mike Woodson didn't seem to want to solve such a problem at all. And when the fourth game between the New York Knicks and the Atlanta Hawks began, New York reporters became even more angry.

Because when the fourth game began, the New York Knicks once again faced an unsolvable old problem. And this time, it was not only that the New York Knicks were unable to win this game smoothly, but they not only were unable to win the fourth game smoothly, but they did not even win the game that night in the end.

They allowed the Atlanta Hawks to win a game at home! For the New York Knicks, this was definitely a huge blow, whether it was for the New York Knicks themselves, the fans and the media. Because before the game began, the entire New York area felt that they were going to end the series in Atlanta that night, but the moment the game ended, the result was so unexpected!

And the problem is exactly the same. Because of the weakness in the second half, the New York Knicks, which established an advantage in the first half, cannot guarantee their advantage in the second half.

It was precisely because he was caught up by his opponent in the second half and completed the comeback that once again, Mike Woodson, the head coach of the New York Knicks, once again became the target of public criticism!

For him, he was even a little used to this situation, but even so, he still had to silently endure the criticism of the New York media.

And for him now, such a problem is indeed a very difficult situation he has to face. Although the New York Knicks are much better than the Atlanta Hawks in terms of strength, the New York Knicks' goal this season is not just to break through the first round of the playoffs. They also hope to go further.

And if they want to go further, the New York Knicks' ups and downs in the first and second half will become their fatal weakness! Especially in the next round of the game, they will encounter the league's defending champion Cleveland Cavaliers. Mike Woodson knows that if such a problem is not solved, how bad their situation will become!

Losing this game certainly made the New Yorkers feel frustrated and angry, but it was not because they lost to the Atlanta Hawks. In this round of the series, the New Yorkers did not have any concerns because they knew that their team's strength was definitely above the Atlanta Hawks.

The reason they were frustrated and angry was not because they lost to the Atlanta Hawks, but because they really lost the game because of the problem that had been buried for a long time.

The most important reason for the weak performance in the second half of the game, and it is also an important factor that makes New Yorkers feel so angry.

So at this time, the New York media naturally had to criticize their current team head coach Mike Woodson. In this regard, Mike Woodson could only bear it helplessly. At least until he solved the current problem of the New York Knicks, he had no way to refute the media's criticism and ridicule.

After the New York Knicks unexpectedly lost to the Atlanta Hawks away, on the other side, as a team that has advanced, the Cleveland Cavaliers can naturally get more rest time.

However, on the day when the New York Knicks lost to the Atlanta Hawks, many teams in the league completed the promotion. The San Antonio Spurs and the Miami Heat successfully advanced to the next round of the game on this day.

In addition, the Cleveland Cavaliers who advanced before, which means that in the first round of the playoffs, three promotions have already emerged, and the remaining 10 teams are still to compete for the remaining 5 places.

The playoffs are such a game that is far more cruel than the regular season. The rules of the competition system set such a cruel jungle rule. The prey on the weak is a truth that has been unchanged since ancient times. The weak can only be eliminated in the competition.

Although he lost a game, the New York Knicks, who still led their opponent with a total score of 3:1, naturally did not want to become the eliminated weakling in the second round of the game.

Whether it is New York fans, media, or New York Knicks players, especially the team's core Cameron Anthony, he is definitely the person who is least willing to lose to Wu Dawei and his Cleveland Cavaliers at this time!

Because for him, this year is the best year for him to work with the New York Knicks, and his teammates have reached their peak this year. Although JR Smith's performance in the playoffs is not as exciting as his regular season, it is enough to bring great help to Cameron Anthony.

So at this time, Cameron Anthony will of course hope to compete for tickets to the battlefield in June. Although the public is not particularly optimistic that the New York Knicks, which has risen this year, will eventually win the cup. However, Cameron Anthony believes that he and his team have already had the strength to stabilize the championship!

Now, what they need to do is how to prove that they have such strength, which is crucial. If they can defeat Wu Dawei, the defending champion of the league, and his Cleveland Cavaliers in the second round, then the New York Knicks will definitely make people feel impressed!

Last season, the New York Knicks were swept out by Wu Dawei and his Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round of the playoffs. Such a painful defeat will certainly make Cameron Anthony remember it fresh, so the more he does this, the more he wants to lead the team to have another exciting battle with Wu Dawei at this time.

Although it will not be a very easy and simple thing to defeat Wu Dawei and his Cleveland Cavaliers in a seven-game four-win game system, for Cameron Anthony, if you don’t try anything, you can only stand still.

He had already led the team to the Western Conference Finals in the Denver Nuggets, so for Cameron Anthony, he actually wanted to go further. And where the division finals went further, it was naturally the finals!

This is Cameron Anthony’s goal! This season, he feels it’s time to achieve this goal! Although it won’t be so easy on the playoffs, Cameron Anthony is full of confidence in this.

He had no favoritism for Wu Dawei like all New Yorkers, especially when Wu Dawei said proudly in Brooklyn, which made Cameron Anthony want to give this person who once defeated him some colors!

And this is not the opinion of the whole of New York, but their situation is a bit bad now, so the media in New York feel so anxious!

Everyone knows that the Cleveland Cavaliers now have an extremely perfect configuration. They are a team that is both internal and external. They have balanced offense and defense, and also have top-notch offense and defense conversion capabilities. Facing such an opponent, if you expose your fatal weakness before the game begins, it is not easy for the New York Knicks to win!
