553. Take advantage of your strengths
The New Yorkers hope to re-scort their rhythm and momentum after the pause comes back, but when the game starts again, the New Yorkers don't feel the change immediately.
They were still the backward side, even though JR Smith scored in a very beautiful way during the previous attack. However, JR Smith, who seemed overly excited after scoring, then received the price of a technical foul!
In this way, the effect of the 2 points he originally scored suddenly shrank into 1 point... The score became 14:2. The Cleveland Cavaliers, who played away, still had a great advantage in this game tonight!
In any case, it is basically impossible for the New Yorkers to narrow the score gap in a short period of time. Because the Cleveland Cavaliers not only have a great initiative on the basketball court, but they are becoming more and more confident in their psychology.
After all, the current 12-point gap is enough to make the Clevelanders feel at ease, so their situation will naturally get better and better. Although in the previous defense, they failed to successfully defend the opponent's attack for the first time in this game, this is not a big deal.
Because after all, basketball is not a football game, and scoring goals is not a particularly difficult thing. Losing a goal is indeed frustrating, but it does not make people feel despair. After all, in this game, the New Yorkers are not the New Yorkers, but the Cleveland Cavaliers.
So no matter whether the New Yorkers broke the embarrassing situation in this game before, it will not have much impact on the Cleveland Cavaliers.
What the Cleveland Cavaliers have to do now is how to continue to play at their level in the next game. Judging from the opening performance, we can see that the Cleveland Cavaliers' offensive end is very outstanding in this game.
Especially Wu Dawei, he has scored 4 points and contributed 3 assists. In other words, of the 14 points the Cleveland Cavaliers have scored, at least 10 points are related to Wu Dawei!
So this time the ball rights continued to be handed over to Wu Dawei. Wu Dawei still raised his high position to hold the ball like the last time. Cameron Anthony naturally had to chase him out at this time, but he was careful and slowed down, and did not stick to Wu Dawei as he did before.
Because in one defensive round before this, Cameron Anthony suffered a great loss from Wu Dawei! Of course, at this time, Cameron Anthony should be more cautious.
This time he slowed down to catch up with Wu Dawei. After receiving the ball, Wu Dawei did not attack directly behind him like the last time... but then moved along the three-point line! At this time, after Kyrie Irving handed the ball to Wu Dawei, he also took advantage of the situation to make a pick-and-roll for Wu Dawei at a high position.
In this way, Cameron Anthony will naturally fall into a disadvantage in this defensive round again... This is a huge disaster for him!
Because of Kyrie Irving's pick-and-roll, it completely blocked Cameron Anthony's way! In this way, Wu Dawei once again found a very good opportunity to break through! Under the last resort, Jason Kidd, who was originally responsible for the match against Kyrie Irving, could only keep up with Wu Dawei at this time.
But obviously, Jason Kidd, who was already old, could not be able to stick to Wu Dawei at this time, because the difference between the two people in physical conditions was huge. Wu Dawei almost had a small move, and Jason Kidd was bounced away by him...
Such a situation is absolutely a huge disaster for the New Yorkers at this moment, but at this moment someone is happy about it.
For example, JR Smith, the first thought in his head at this time was not bad, but... my chance is here!
Although JR. Smith's defense target is Danny Green, he has always been paying attention to Wu Dawei. So when Wu Dawei uses the pick-and-roll in the high position to move towards him and try to hit the paint area, how could JR. Smith make Wu Dawei successful so easily!?
So when Wu Dawei was running wildly into the paint area with the ball, JR Smith gave up Danny Green without hesitation and turned to the inside to try to double-team to stop Wu Dawei's attack.
The previous score made his confidence that had already burst out even more soar. Although he immediately received the price of a technical foul, it obviously did not affect JR. Smith.
So at this time, JR Smith chose to pursue Wu Dawei without hesitation. In this way, Danny Green naturally became empty, which made Mike Woodson, the head coach of the New York Knicks standing on the sidelines, feel anxious!
Fortunately, even though JR Smith went to surround Wu Dawei at this time, Wu Dawei did not choose to pass the ball out immediately! Instead, he continued to run wildly into the paint area with the ball!
Wu Dawei did not stop. Even though JR Smith had posted it, Wu Dawei still rushed into the paint area first, and then he jumped up!
JR Smith, who was blocking from the wing, also jumped towards Wu Dawei. But Wu Dawei was not afraid of this at all. Although he had long discovered the momentum of JR Smith rushing over, the reason why he never chose to pass the ball in this attack was because he felt that he could complete an attack at this time.
So Wu Dawei's will in this attack was very firm! After he jumped up, in order to dodge Brooke Lopez who rushed from the front, his body leaned back, and Wu Dawei also knew that JR Smith was behind him, so he did not raise the ball over his head, but leaned back!
After feeling his back hit JR Smith, Wu Dawei immediately lost his physical balance! After all, this was a confrontation formed in the air. Even though Wu Dawei's tonnage was much larger than JR Smith, Wu Dawei could not control his own balance without any fulcrum at this time.
Although he fell to the floor so hard that Wu Dawei could not control his body immediately. This was something that made him feel more unexpected. Because Wu Dawei didn't expect that JR Smith would rush so fiercely...
Obviously, he also underestimated his resentment towards him... So at this time, Wu Dawei had no choice. Even if he was taken to the ground by the other party, Wu Dawei could only take advantage of the last bit of his escape and throw the ball out in a hurry!
Brooke Lopez, in front of Wu Dawei, was unable to block the ball thrown out of his hand by Wu Dawei, and Wu Dawei fell down at this time.
The moment JR. Smith bumped into Wu Dawei, he knew something was going to be bad. Then as soon as he landed, he heard the referee's "drip" sound again that he didn't want to hear the least!
Then something he didn't want to see happened. The ball that Wu Dawei threw out in a hasty manner actually made a sound and crawled into the basket!
This is simply a completely unexpected thing. JR Smith never expected such a huge change in the plot! The ball was swiped into the basket, which means that JR Smith's foul this time will likely make Wu Dawei score 3 points in a row!
The moment the ball entered the basket, JR. Smith was stunned. A feeling of inexplicably depressed began to spread inside his body...
So much so that he even forgot to go to the referee to defend, but JR Smith did not ask the referee to defend this foul. This does not mean that the New Yorkers would accept such a foul call!
Although Wu Dawei fell to the floor in a real way, the New York Knicks fans chose to ignore this fact at this time. As for the referee's huge difficulties facing the New York Knicks, who were playing at home, they still called for the New York Knicks one after another, the New Yorkers booed a huge boo!
"Are you blind? Look at whose home court is here! Idiot, this is Madison!"
Spike Lee, who was sitting on the sidelines, couldn't sit still at this time. The target he stood up and mocked him was not Wu Dawei and wasted the Cavaliers, but the referee who enforced the law tonight's game...
Originally, the New York Knicks were currently behind the Cleveland Cavaliers, so New York fans still expect their team to play at home in this game tonight and get some special treatment from the referees... But now the referee not only did not give the New York Knicks special treatment, but also allowed the Cleveland Cavaliers to stand on the free throw line one after another...
It was Kyrie Irving before, and this time it was Wu Dawei!
JR. Smith played in just one minute, and he was already late for a technical foul and a personal foul... Obviously this would make him feel a little frustrated.
However, this did not prevent Wu Dawei from going to the free throw line and steadily threw the free throw into the basket.
17:2!
The score difference continues to widen and has become 15 points. Although New York Knicks head coach Mike Woodson requested a timeout in time before, from the momentum, it is obvious that such a timeout is not particularly good.
The New York Knicks are still being scored by the Cleveland Cavaliers, which makes them feel particularly frustrated.
The difference between the points became 15 points, and the Cleveland Cavaliers still played smoothly in this game tonight, while the New York Knicks, except for the goal of JR Smith, had no other achievements.
However, although the New Yorkers are in poor condition, the game still needs to continue at this time. In any case, the game has just begun. Moreover, the New Yorkers do not want to give up this home game at all. For them, taking 2:0 to Cleveland is their goal.
If they can win in both home games in the first two home games, the hope of the New York Knicks winning this round of the series will definitely be extremely huge. Because in the history of the league, only three teams have been turned over by their opponents with a 2-0 advantage. And the New York Knicks feel that no matter how bad they are, they will not be the three unlucky guys!
So at this time, when Wu Dawei threw the ball into the basket, the ball rights returned to the New Yorkers. The huge gap of 15 points makes them hope to narrow the gap as soon as possible.
Although the game had only just started for more than 4 minutes at this time, the huge gap of 15 points could easily wipe out anyone's fighting spirit.
This is like a slowly spreading virus. If the Cleveland Cavaliers who have been playing away have an advantage of 15 points or even more, then the prospects of the New York Knicks in this game will really be covered in dust!
So at this time, the mood of the New York Knicks players is foreseeable. They will definitely feel particularly anxious. The more they are, the more beneficial it is for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Before the start of this game, they hope to use a refreshing victory to help the team equalize the disadvantages in the overall score.
The current situation of the team is enough to prove how the team is in the current state! Their performance is particularly good, which is a very good signal. As long as the Cleveland Cavaliers can continue to perform, then this game tonight will basically be a sure win.
So at this time, of course, they must make good use of the current eagerness of New Yorkers to gain more benefits and gain greater leading advantages!
After all, it is not particularly easy for the Cleveland Cavaliers to be able to play with such an advantage at the moment!
