After defeating the Brooklyn Nets, Wu Dawei and his team finally ushered in a rare rest time. However, even if they will get a lot of rest time at this time, in the playoff time, no Cleveland Cavaliers player can truly get a comfortable rest time.

Wu Dawei and his Cleveland Cavaliers teammates still need to maintain sufficient training every day, because they need to keep their form when there is no game, which is an indispensable thing.

Among the league's past records, many teams that advanced first in the next round have gained more rest time and then lost the first few games.

Because they have been resting for too long, it is difficult for them to find the feeling of the game, so in such a situation, it is obviously not easy for them to immediately perform after the next round of the game begins.

Therefore, the head coach of every team that has completed the promotion first will not really let the players take a week off and then face new opponents. This idea is too naive.

So during the rest period, the entire Cleveland Cavaliers team maintained a high enough training intensity, but of course the players did not complain about this. Because this team is the defending champion, most of the people in the team competed with the team to play the finals of the last season, and many even showed the finals of the previous two years with the Dallas Mavericks.

For them, they all clearly realize how difficult it is to win the championship. And how huge the winning of the championship will bring to them. Such gains are not just a championship trophy or a big ring. In addition, there will be more commercial endorsements and bonuses, and all of this is the driving force that inspires the players to keep moving forward.

Honor is always inseparable from money, and it is no exception to Wu Dawei. Because he has made a decision with Bonnie Raflin and chooses to jump out of the contract after all the games of this season are officially over!

Of course, Wu Dawei also hopes to get a bigger contract, not just a middle-class contract. For Wu Dawei, this is obviously not in line with the value he has made now!

Especially when he saw Kobe Bryant receive a maximum salary of 30 million US dollars in Los Angeles, no one would not envy Kobe Bryant's treatment, and Wu Dawei was no exception. Although he seemed to have won everything now, the money Wu Dawei has made so far is not as good as Kobe Bryant's income this year!

Of course, it is pre-tax, but although the luxury tax in Los Angeles is very high, Cleveland is not low. So for Wu Dawei, he is of course eager to get a bigger contract, so that he can live in a better house, drive a better car and live a better life. People always have some of the most primitive desires to be satisfied. This is not something that is difficult to say.

Although if Wu Dawei jumped out of such a contract that had only been maintained for two years this summer, the starting salary of his next contract would be relatively low, it would be at least 10 million!

No matter what, he will definitely make much more money than Wu Dawei! So no matter how he chooses, Wu Dawei will of course choose to jump out of the contract. For Wu Dawei, this will of course be a very important thing, although it may not be particularly appropriate to discuss with Bonnie Raflin at this time, because the team is signing the playoffs.

However, Wu Dawei did not intend to announce such news now to shake the morale of the army. Isn’t this stupid?

He will announce such news after the season officially ends, and the reason he does this is because he wants to win the trophy of the second championship in his life!

If he can win two consecutive championships, it is of course very important and meaningful for Wu Dawei, and it will also allow the Cleveland Cavaliers to show their greatest sincerity when signing Wu Dawei. Bonnie Lauflin helped Wu Dawei analyze it.

No team will let go of the team's star when the team wins two consecutive championships, even if the price is 50 million US dollars. Because for any boss, even if they are not particularly familiar with basketball, they are very clear that if a team can win the NBA championship three times in a row, then this team will become a truly dynasty team! This is also officially recognized by the NBA!

It goes without saying how important a dynasty team is for any team. This is especially true for those teams in the small market, because the market is not big enough in the small market, and sometimes it will be distributed to many fans by other professional league teams. So if a team can establish a dynasty, then it will undoubtedly bring countless loyal local fans to the team!

This is more important for teams in the small football market, and fans all want to pursue glory, because this can make them proud when they are talking after dinner.

Even though this dynasty team became lonely later, they were still loyal. They would still support this team, buy team tickets or even season tickets, and the peripheral products would also sell very well!

It was like the Chicago Bulls at the beginning of the millennium. After Michael Jordan left Chicago, the Bulls began to fall in early 2000, and their record fell to the bottom. But even so, the Chicago Bulls' attendance rate is still at the forefront of the league!

Why? Because the team's two three consecutive championships have already cultivated countless loyal fans for the team. So even if the team declines, these fans can still share the hardships with the team, not just the same joys!

So at this time, for Wu Dawei, how important is it to win this year's championship trophy!

Of course, he will definitely help the team's head coach Byron Scott to urge the team not to relax and carelessly. In the current Cleveland Cavaliers team, the only person who has not experienced the championship with the team is Michael Beasley, who joined the team last summer!

However, Michael Beasley did not relax at all at this time, because for him, after coming to the Cleveland Cavaliers, he not only had his own good friend Wu Dawei here, but also eventually counterattacked and successfully became the team's starter.

Is there anything better for Michael Beasley than being a starter in a team that has the strength to compete for the championship? So at this time, of course, he will not cause trouble as before. And Wu Dawei will not let him cause trouble like this.

Because for Wu Dawei, this year's championship trophy is bound to be won!

And for the Cleveland Cavaliers, such a long rest time can not only give them rest, but also give them more time to study their opponents in the next round of the game, the New York Knicks!

Although the first round of the New York Knicks and the Atlanta Hawks is not over yet, and the two teams do not have any outs. However, the current 3:1 total score between the two sides is clearly known to anyone who will eventually appear.

If nothing big of an accident, it is basically a foregone conclusion that the New York Knicks led by Cameron Anthony stood out from this round of the series.

In this way, it means that the Cleveland Cavaliers may have to meet teams from New York in two consecutive rounds of series. From this point of view, Wu Dawei and his team really have an indescribable fate with the New Yorkers...

For Wu Dawei, he doesn't care who the opponent in the second round is. Because as a team that is determined to defend the title, if they still have to choose opponents, it only means that they don't have that kind of strength at all!

So for Wu Dawei, it doesn’t matter who the opponent falls to the ground in the next round, because he has to defeat his opponent in order to continue to advance to the next round of the game!

However, for the team's coaching staff, it is of course a great thing to be able to predict the opponent in the next round of the game, because in this way, they can prepare more fully in the next round of the game.

Team head coach Byron Scott has been preparing for the next game these days, so after almost seeing that the New York Knicks will become the next round opponent of the Cleveland Cavaliers, he will be able to better study his opponent.

The New York Knicks encountered in the recent playoffs, and the weak second half of the game encountered by Byron Scott, was also seen by Byron Scott. Such an obvious weakness made Byron Scott feel particularly happy, because in this way, he could seize the opponent's weakness and hit hard.

And in Byron Scott's view, the New York Knicks head coach Mike Woodson will definitely not be able to solve the problem of the current weak second half game such as the New York Knicks.

Because this is also a problem of physical reserve, it is obvious that the New York Knicks' physical reserves are not enough. And what is more important is that although JR Smith, the best sixth man in the New York Knicks, had a very amazing performance in the regular season stage of this season, he did not perform so professionally after entering the playoffs!

Because after every game in the playoffs, he can always be photographed in a nightclub carnival! And it’s not just JR Smith, a Knicks player...

Under such circumstances, it would be strange that the team's physical reserves would be better, so in Byron Scott's view, this is not the potential danger that New York Knicks coach Mike Woodson can quickly solve the problem!

In this way, it will naturally be of great benefit to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the second round of the game! And now they are already ready to fight for the second round of the game, and now they are waiting for the opponent in the next round to officially appear.

The New York Knicks did not let the Cleveland Cavaliers wait too long. After losing Game 4, they returned to New York in Game 5. The Knicks were at home and did not give the Atlanta Hawks any chance. They showed their strength as second in the Eastern Conference this year at their home court, and won the game without any bloodshed!

In this way, the New York Knicks officially eliminated their opponent in the first round of the game with a total score of 4:1 and entered the second round of the game.

In this way, the second round showdown between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the New York Knicks was born. Such a showdown is what the New York media expects most. They still remember very deeply what Wu Dawei said in the first round of the game. These things Wu Dawei said were regarded as shame by the New York media at this time!

And now, they feel that the opportunity to avenge revenge has come! The New York Knicks will defeat the Cleveland Cavaliers in the second round of the game to win! This is a consensus reached by all New Yorkers after such a roster was released!

At the same time, the New York Knicks players, especially the team's core player, Cameron Anthony, agrees with this. After completing the promotion, Cameron Anthony said in an interview with the media that he and his team will definitely make it through the second round to enter the Eastern Conference finals, which is their minimum requirement, and the championship is their ultimate goal this season!

So for them, although the matchup in the second round is the current defending champion of the league, the New York Knicks will not be afraid at all!

Moreover, due to the better record in the regular season, in the second round of the game, the New York Knicks will still face the Cleveland Cavaliers at home first!

For them, they can always gain more advantages when fighting at home! Obviously, this will also bring some impact to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the second round of the game and make them more difficult in the game!

After all, it will definitely be much more difficult to play first at the opponent's home court, not to mention that the New Yorkers have always been very upset about Wu Dawei and the Cleveland Cavaliers!
