559. Brainless shooting
When the ball was slapped away by Dwight Howard from behind Wu Dawei, he could clearly feel that the atmosphere in the entire Madison Garden Square became even more depressed.
Because when the ball was slapped away by Dwight Howard, there was little time left for the New York Knicks in this offensive round.
So at this time, even though the New York Knicks still had the ball in their hands, they had to quickly complete this attack the moment they sent the ball on the sidelines.
Before, Cameron Anthony's fully prepared attack was eventually disintegrated by the Cleveland Cavaliers, not to mention that the attack time limit is now very little left.
Even the fans of the New York Knicks' own fans do not believe that their team can hit the ball into the basket in this next attack.
But it was just such a coincidence that when New York fans disbeliefed that this attack could be done, when the New York Knicks quickly sent the baseline ball, JR Smith saved the entire team again at this time.
He relied on Tyson Chandler's high pick-and-roll from the outside, then went around and caught the ball, and threw the ball into the basket with an extremely difficult move!
This is definitely a very difficult choice to take action. In the eyes of most people, it is definitely very difficult to throw the ball into the basket. But in this case, JR Smith's hasty shot outside the three-point line helped the New York Knicks score three-pointers!
The ball was thrown from outside the three-point line by JR Smith, and then a hollow shot was inserted into the net! It was an unreasonable shot. Anthony Parker, who was responsible for defending him, had done his best, but he still failed to defend him!
After the ball got into the basket, the New York Knicks slightly narrowed the originally huge score difference between the two sides. This was definitely a crucial goal. Although the 25-point disadvantage at this time can only be considered a drop in the bucket, it can burn the fanatic atmosphere above Madison Garden Plaza.
The New York fans on the sidelines couldn't help cheering for JR Smith's goal at this time. Because only after the second quarter started, the New York Knicks' performance in this game tonight did not improve at all. So at this time, although such a three-point goal could not help the New York Knicks to immediately smooth out the gap in the score, it could help the New York Knicks' morale slightly rebound.
After all, it is not a matter of a moment to recover the huge disadvantage of 25 points. It is a huge project. Therefore, New Yorkers need more patience. Naturally, in such a patient pursuit of points, if the morale is low, the situation will of course be very bad.
At this moment, JR Smith's three-pointer can help the New York Knicks find some long-lost morale!
This is of course a crucial thing, so the fans in New York are so excited at this time. But it is obvious that tonight, there is actually not much excitement time for fans of the New York Knicks.
Because when JR Smith completed the goal, the ball returned to the hands of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Chauncey Billups controlled the ball and passed the half-time and quickly passed the ball to Wu Dawei.
As a player who scored 15 points in the first quarter, Wu Dawei was of course the first choice for the Cleveland Cavaliers on the offensive end at this time. Wu Dawei also faced Cameron Anthony, who was facing him with the ball at a high position. Wu Dawei did not hesitate at all when facing his defense. He directly launched the most fierce attack like Cameron Anthony before.
Cameron Anthony was not an excellent defensive player. At this time, it was difficult for Cameron Anthony to make him defend Wu Dawei and rush up. Not to mention his own strength, he just wanted to defend well, but when the two people were in high positions, Wu Dawei could rely on his advantage in speed and easily shake off Cameron Anthony's defense, and then ran directly towards the paint area guarded by Tyson Chandler!
When Wu Dawei threw away Cameron Anthony's defense in an instant and ran towards the paint area, the other New York Knicks players could not react at all. The only person who reacted was the team's inside core Tyson Chandler, and the moment he rushed forward, Wu Dawei threw the ball directly into the sky without any hesitation.
Since both sides played in a lineup of one, big and four small at this time, when Cameron Anthony was overtaken by Wu Dawei, and Tyson Chandler made up the defense, no big man was guarding the New York Knicks paint area.
So when Wu Dawei threw the ball into the sky, there was a player wearing the Cleveland Cavaliers' No. 12 jersey that soared in the entire paint area.
Dwight Howard did not encounter any interference at this time. He easily received the ball and then completed this air relay with a heavy tap in the air!
It is definitely a very wonderful cooperation! After practical experience in cooperation, Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard have become more and more pure!
The Cleveland Cavaliers' score again also made the New York fans who had just been happy for a while, who had just been happy, fall into an underestimation again. Because in this way, the score gap was naturally widened by the Cleveland Cavaliers again.
For the New York Knicks, the attack rounds between the two sides are not what they want to see. Because if this continues, it will be even more difficult for the New York Knicks to recover the lagging score difference!
So of course this is not what they want to see. What they want to see is that while the New York Knicks scored continuously on the offensive end, they can also make the Cleveland Cavaliers, who played well in the first quarter, not scored a single point.
Now, looking at Wu Dawei's breakthrough as if he was in a no-man's realm and Dwight Howard's easy dunk, such a defense is not only difficult to satisfy the New York Knicks fans, but also makes it more difficult for the New York Knicks to catch up with the lagging score gap!
Although JR Smith made a three-pointer before, the Cleveland Cavaliers only scored 2 points at this time. It is logical that the New York Knicks still earned 1 point in this offensive and defensive round...
However, there is still a huge gap of 24 points between the two sides, and if the New York Knicks can only chase back one point in an offensive and defensive round, not to mention how much time it will take, but can the New Yorkers ensure that they can make three-pointers in every round?
JR Smith's previous three-point shooting was something that everyone could tell, but it was just a bad luck! If everyone wanted to rely on such a balloon, then it would be harder for the New York Knicks to make a comeback than climbing the sky.
So at this time, the New York Knicks need to do the most is not just offense. Of course, there is defense. Only by scoring the ball first and then doing a good job of defense can the New York Knicks have hope and opportunity to turn the tables.
And like now, if you enter one by yourself and then turn around and let your opponent easily enter one offensive and defensive round, it will be impossible for the New York Knicks to have any hope and opportunity to turn the tables!
Of course, New York fans sitting on the sidelines will feel extremely disappointed about this. Spike and Li have just been excited about it. It is also with the cooperation of Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard's aerial relay, they suddenly became calm and even depressed...
"Beautiful cooperation!" Charles Barkley, who was sitting on the sidelines as the commentator, was amazed at Wu Dawei's performance. "This is the sixth assist Wu Dawei has given in this game! However, it was not long before the second quarter. Wu Dawei has already sent 6 assists, and he has scored 15 points now. It can be said that his outstanding performance on the offensive end so far tonight is the most important reason why the Cleveland Cavaliers can play such a smooth offensive! If the New York Knicks cannot defend his performance, then it is definitely an impossible task to curb the Cleveland Cavaliers' offense!"
When Wu Dawei performed well, Charles Barkley naturally would not sting with his saliva. Because he really liked Wu Dawei very much, perhaps because Wu Dawei humbly asked him about the attacking skills at low posts. Charles Barkley always favored this player who was half an apprentice.
The Cleveland Cavaliers still firmly control the situation on the basketball court. This time, Dwight Howard's dunk once again calmed down Madison Garden Square, and the New York Knicks also regained the ball rights at this time.
JR Smith acted as the team's point guard at this time. He received the ball from the backcourt and ran through the half. Then, facing Anthony Parker's defense, he had always had a strong desire to attack and did not cover up at this time.
He signaled to Cameron Anthony not far away and asked the latter to give him a pick-and-roll at the high position. This is also the strategy used by the New York Knicks on the offensive end. JR Smith and Cameron Anthony are both the most threatening players of the New York Knicks on the offensive end, so when they are pick-and-roll at the high position, the opponent is very difficult to defend.
But at this time, when Cameron Anthony and JR Smith completed the pick-and-roll at a high position, the Cleveland Cavaliers immediately chose to switch defense. As a forward guard, Wu Dawei did not suffer when defending the back. And Anthony Parker's heavy tonnage made him look like a bullied and wronged daughter-in-law when fighting Cameron Anthony.
And when the two men completed the pick-and-roll at the high position, JR Smith showed no sign of passing the ball to Cameron Anthony!
Perhaps it was because when he saw that the person standing in front of him after changing defense was Wu Dawei, JR Smith's mood became inexplicably high.
After the defense was replaced, JR. Smith still tried to strike into the paint area. After all, the closer we are to the basket, the higher the shooting rate. JR. Smith also understands this.
However, it is obvious that Wu Dawei's huge body and strong movement ability blocked JR Smith's chance to take the lead. Therefore, it is difficult for JR Smith to continue running into the paint area, but even so, he still has no idea of passing the ball.
JR. Smith just took the ball and then circled around half a circle. After not finding any opportunity to break through, he forced himself to jump up near the middle distance!
A sudden emergency stop jump shot!
Without getting rid of Wu Dawei's defense, JR Smith jumped up like this! This is definitely not a good choice. When JR Smith jumped up, the New York fans on the sidelines thought so.
Then... he was directly blocked by Wu Dawei! Unruly, Wu Dawei has never shown mercy in blocking his opponent. The ball was directly slapped from JR Smith's hand by Wu Dawei, and was photographed off before he even flew up...
And this time, the ball did not go out of bounds. Chauncey Billups, who was on the outside, received the ball at this time! He immediately announced the failure of the New York Knicks' offense this time...
The lamentations on the sidelines immediately echoed through the entire Madison Garden Square one after another. The New Yorkers felt particularly frustrated by such a scene. JR Smith had an incredible expression, not that he was blocked by accident, but that the referee did not sound a whistle!
"This is a foul! Hey, can't you see?"
When JR Smith was still complaining to the referee for his mindless come, the Cleveland Cavaliers had already launched a smooth and fast attack in the frontcourt!
In the blink of an eye, the New Yorkers became more passive on the basketball court!
"JR. Smith's brainless shooting ruined the New York Knicks! The difference became 26 points! My God, the second quarter had just begun, and the New York Knicks had already lagged behind at home and gave the Cleveland Cavaliers 26 points! This was simply a disaster!"
Chapter completed!
