"We need to cheer up, guys!"

When the first quarter ended with a huge gap of 37:16, the New York Knicks players returned to the bench one after another, and as the core player of the team, Cameron Anthony couldn't help sitting in the chair at this time and shouted loudly at his teammates.

For the first quarter, as the core of the New York Knicks, Cameron Anthony will certainly bear unshirkable responsibilities. However, he also hopes that his teammates can cheer up.

After all, the outcome of a game is not a matter of one person. Even if Cameron Anthony has the ability to change the situation in the entire game, he must have the support of his teammates.

So at this time, of course, he wanted to shout loudly as the team leader.

"This is not a doomsday! We know very well, guys cheer up, we have encountered such a dilemma this year, but every time we have been through it, and this time is no exception!"

When the teammates returned to the bench one after another, before the team's head coach Mike Woodson was about to talk to the players, Cameron Anthony hurriedly ran up and applauded and shouted loudly at everyone.

As the team's starting center and the winner of the Best Defensive Player Award this season, Tyson Chandler was the first to respond to Cameron Anthony at this time.

"Melo is right! Guys cheer up, this is not a terrible thing. What we need to do now is not to be afraid, but how to change such a passive situation!"

As the best defensive player in the new team, Tyson Chandler was of course particularly dissatisfied with his performance in previous games. It was not just because Dwight Howard, who faced him, scored 8 points in a row, but Wu Dawei and Kyrie Irving also frequently attacked the basket, creating a lot of difficulties for him!

These are the things that will make Tyson Chandler feel ashamed, because for him, tonight is the day he was crowned the league's best defensive player of the season. But as soon as he got this result.

While he was hit by his opponent in the first quarter, he only scored 16 points... Which talent on his side should win the Best Defensive Player Award? Even Tyson Chandler, who just won the trophy, would feel a little embarrassed about this...

After all, 37 points lost in a single quarter, no matter what the team is, it is not a small matter. Moreover, while the Cleveland Cavaliers scored 37 points, the New York Knicks scored only 16 points.

It can be said that in the first quarter, the New York Knicks not only performed poorly on the defensive end, but also had unsatisfactory performance on the offensive end.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been behind the Cleveland Cavaliers by as much as 21 points in a single quarter!

At this time, it was not just the big guys of Cameron Anthony and Tyson Chandler, JR Smith, who also echoed at this time and said loudly: "That's right, guys. We want to give these Clevelanders some colors, just like the last game! We want to let them know that we are not easy to bully, we want to give him some colors! Let them know that it is absolutely impossible to complete if you want to take away the victory of this game from Madison Garden Square!"

JR. Smith was still full of energy at this time, although his performance was not good in the previous game. JR. Smith played for 8 minutes in the first quarter, but he only scored 2 points!

But obviously at this time, he did not realize much about his performance in the first quarter, which was actually very unbearable.

If he and Cameron Anthony feel better on the offensive end, the New York Knicks would not be so embarrassed at this time. But the only thing is that although the New York Knicks fell behind after the first quarter and gave the Cleveland Cavaliers away as many as 21 points, they still have great confidence in this game at this time.

But at this time they urgently hope to change the current situation on the basketball court. And after a two-minute break, the second quarter will naturally become a high-demand game for the New York Knicks.

It is not only the New York Knicks players who have high expectations for the second quarter. The New York Knicks fans who are sitting on the sidelines will naturally also have high expectations for the upcoming second quarter game.

No matter what, the New York Knicks certainly won’t want to lose the game at home. Although the current 21-point disadvantage has already made the situation facing the New York Knicks in this game tonight very difficult, the New York Knicks will definitely fight hard before the end of the game before the hope disappears!

At the beginning of the second quarter, both sides changed their own rotation players on the basketball court. The substitutes were still fighting fiercely for the two teams on the basketball court. However, when their core players were resting under the court, they did not put all the core players off the court.

After all, the Cleveland Cavaliers have three All-Star players, Wu Dawei, Dwight Howard and Kyrie Irving. Of course, they won't let all three of them go to the court to rest together at this time, which is indeed a bit too extravagant.

In the past, Byron Scott usually let the team's organizational defender Kyrie Irving take the field to lead the team. However, since Dwight Howard performed very well in the paint area in the first quarter of this evening, at this time, Byron Scott decided to let Dwight Howard lead the team to continue the battle.

Moreover, since there are no two offensive starting points on the outside, Wu Dawei and Kyrie Irving, Dwight Howard can get the ball almost every time on the offensive end.

This will make Dwight Howard feel happier, because for him, the reason he came to Cleveland was that he had promised his offensive position in the team by Wu Dawei and the team's head coach Byron Scott.

So it can be easily seen that Dwight Howard has relatively demands on the ball. Nowadays, more of the Cleveland Cavaliers' ball rights are concentrated on Wu Dawei, and Dwight Howard has not had much objection to this, obviously because Wu Dawei's efficiency on the offensive end is really excellent.

However, this does not mean that Dwight Howard will reduce his reliance on the ball. He still likes to attack on the offensive end. Although his attacking skills are not the best in the league, which man doesn't like to play basketball?

Dwight Howard continued to stay on the basketball court at the beginning of the second quarter and was in the paint area, which would undoubtedly be of great help to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

At least in such a situation, it is difficult for the New York Knicks to narrow the score between the two sides at once. Moreover, the score difference between the two teams is as high as 21 points, which is not a gap that can be narrowed in a short time.

But even so, when the second quarter started, the New Yorkers still felt emotional. The two minutes of rest between the festival allowed the New York Knicks players and fans to recover some of their self-confidence.

So when the second quarter started, the New Yorkers launched a new attack, and they tried to turn the tide at this time. Although there was still a lot of time for the game, if the New Yorkers did not make good use of it and did not make the effort to make use of the time, then time would always be exhausted.

When the New Yorkers launched a fierce attack, Dwight Howard, who was the inside defensive pillar of the Cleveland Cavaliers, would easily show the effect of guarding the paint area at this time.

Although Dwight Howard has been suffering from back injuries this season, he is still able to become a player in the core of the defensive system on the defensive end.

As long as he is in the paint area, they can feel much more at ease for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Because when Dwight Howard is in the paint area, he can always bring great deterrence to the opponents of the Cleveland Cavaliers when breaking through the paint area!

So although the New Yorkers did not want to give up this game tonight at this time, even if the score gap was already as high as 21 points, they still wanted to catch up with the score. Naturally, in such a situation, they would attack the Cleveland Cavaliers' basket as much as possible, and on the offensive end, of course, the closer they were to the basket, the greater the success rate.

At this time, Dwight Howard guarded the penalty area, which made it difficult for the New Yorkers to approach the basket calmly to get points. This will naturally increase the difficulty for the New York Knicks to get points on the offensive end.

So obviously Byron Scott put Dwight Howard on the basketball court at this time, which is definitely a particularly correct choice. The difference between playing in a tailwind and playing in a headwind is also easy to be distinguished in such a situation.
