574. The New York Knicks with internal and external troubles
In fact, the situation of the New York Knicks in this game tonight was not as optimistic as Cameron Anthony's offensive performance.
After Wu Dawei made a three-pointer, Cameron Anthony scored again on the offensive end. He looked hot and hot. Facing Wu Dawei's defense, Cameron Anthony once again threw the ball into the basket against Wu Dawei's block.
The score became 6:7, but the leading side was still the Cleveland Cavaliers who played at home. The Quick Loan Center only lost its voice for a moment, and then it became noisy again.
Because when Cameron Anthony completed the goal, the Cleveland Cavaliers also continued to complete the goal on their offensive end.
Although the Cleveland Cavaliers allowed Cameron Anthony to score 6 points in a row at the opening, their performance on the offensive end was also remarkable.
The gap in the score was once again widened, and the Cleveland Cavaliers also continued to score on their offensive end. Compared with the New York Knicks, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who played at home, did a great job of controlling the game in this game tonight.
Wu Dawei supported at a high position, and his pass helped Michael Beasley complete a layup after cutting empty-handed. Michael Beasley's performance in this round of the series was not good, but if you reduce the defense of Michael Beasley, then Michael Beasley can still give you some colors!
Wu Dawei's assist helped Michael Beasley score after completing the free cut, and the Cleveland Cavaliers continued to maintain a 3-point gap for the New York Knicks.
Although Cameron Anthony's performance in this game tonight was at least remarkable, for the New York Knicks, their biggest problem was how to limit Wu Dawei's performance on the defensive end.
Wu Dawei performed poorly in the first game. But then his performance recovered in the second game and led the team to an amazing victory!
Although three days have passed for the second game between the two sides, for the New York Knicks, Wu Dawei is still their number one trouble tonight.
Although Cameron Anthony performed well, Wu Dawei instigated the attack of the entire Cleveland Cavaliers. He not only scored 5 points for the Cleveland Cavaliers in the opening game, but also in the following games, Wu Dawei also instigated the attack for the team one after another. The attack he launched made the New York Knicks in a defensive end.
Moreover, after Wu Dawei let Cameron Anthony score three mid-range goals one after another, in the next defensive round, when Cameron Anthony tried to score points for the team with the fourth mid-range shot, Wu Dawei returned with a very determined block!
He used this block to blow the horn of the Cleveland Cavaliers' counterattack on the basketball court again. After Kyrie Irving of the Cleveland Cavaliers picked up the ball on the outside, he immediately launched an attack.
In this case, the score was naturally slightly widened. For the Cleveland Cavaliers, Wu Dawei not only causes trouble to the Cleveland Cavaliers' opponents on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end. He is also a player who feels a headache.
With the help of Wu Dawei's blockade against Cameron Anthony, the Cleveland Cavaliers were able to widen the score gap to 5 points. Although this game was not a one-sided massacre like the last game, the Cleveland Cavaliers still had a leading advantage in the basketball court.
This is very important. As a fan of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Clevelanders certainly hope that the Cleveland Cavaliers can win the final victory of the game, but if you can see a fierce and exciting performance, it will be a great thing.
This is true for the current Cleveland Cavaliers fans. The competition between the two sides on the basketball court is back and forth. What’s more important is that the Cleveland Cavaliers, who play at home, are leading the New York Knicks by as much as 5 points.
Wu Dawei's blocking this time delayed Cameron Anthony's passionate feeling a little. He no longer chose to attack on the offensive end like he did when he hit three goals in a row.
After all, Wu Dawei's blocking gave Cameron and Anthony a little bit of deterrent power. Because of Wu Dawei's blocking this time, the New York Knicks' offense seemed a little slowed down for a period of time.
The situation of the game was pretty good for the New York Knicks at the beginning, but when Wu Dawei's block appeared, the situation was a little bad.
Moreover, Wu Dawei not only stopped Cameron and Anthony's hot touch on the defensive end, but also on the offensive end, Wu Dawei still made the entire New York Knicks feel helpless.
Cameron Anthony is already trying his best to stop Wu Dawei from scoring, and only after Wu Dawei scored 5 points in a row, his scoring has indeed temporarily stopped. However, this cannot stop Wu Dawei from performing on the offensive end, and his passing is also a very annoying thing.
On the offensive end, the Cleveland Cavaliers are now starting to run and advance around Wu Dawei. Many times, even Dwight Howard, as the core of the offensive offense, often mentions high positions to cooperate with Wu Dawei.
Because this is the tactical need. As the real core of the Cleveland Cavaliers, everything the Cleveland Cavaliers create is centered around Wu Dawei.
Moreover, Wu Dawei is a player who is becoming more and more outstanding on the offensive end. His passing ability has been greatly improved since the championship season. Winning the championship can allow a player to be sublimated, and he won the O'Brien Cup with his teammates, making Wu Dawei realize the importance of fighting side by side with his teammates.
So now you can easily see Wu Dawei getting 30+10+10 data, but you can rarely see the news that Wu Dawei scored 50 points and 60 points.
Because he knew that if he could activate his teammates on the basketball court, it would not only make him feel more relaxed, but also bring more help to Wu Dawei himself.
Biru said that his teammates were in good shape. Then the opponents would not dare to defend Wu Dawei alone, but gave up their defense against others. Because that would be equivalent to giving up the open space to shoot for other players of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
So after experiencing the championship season, Wu Dawei is now becoming more and more mature. Naturally, his understanding of the game is not just limited to his own scoring.
Of course, Wu Dawei will also work hard to score points to maintain the team's lead, but if his teammates have the chance, or when the opponent focuses all his attention on Wu Dawei himself, Wu Dawei will choose to pass the ball to his teammates without hesitation.
Wu Dawei believes in his teammates very much. Cameron Anthony cannot be compared with Wu Dawei. But this is understandable. After all, Wu Dawei's current teammates are basically friends who have won the championship together, while Cameron Anthony's teammates in the New York Knicks have not even played together in the playoffs several times...
So it is not surprising that the two are compared, but this cannot be an excuse for Cameron Anthony to be unwilling to pass the ball or trust his teammates.
What kind of achievements a person wants to achieve depends more on their own choices. Therefore, all of this is personal fortune, so naturally he cannot blame others.
Cameron Anthony has only touched the floor of the Western Conference Finals once in so many years, and cannot rely on his teammates who are not strong enough. There are many reasons for him. So this is why he has always been a top scorer superstar in the league, but cannot become the final winner.
Wu Dawei showed Cameron Anthony to express his thrilling experience in the first quarter of this game tonight that he could still use other methods to help the team after encountering the opponent's tight defense.
Wu Dawei made fatal passes in the face of strict defense. They directly created opportunities for teammates to shoot open positions. In this case, Wu Dawei was willing to share the ball, so even if his teammates felt bad, he felt that he would slowly come back because of the time to touch the ball.
The Cleveland Cavaliers continued to lead in the game tonight, which was closely related to Wu Dawei's performance on both offense and defense. The New York Knicks continued to chase the Cleveland Cavaliers desperately. However, the Cleveland Cavaliers did not give them any chance to get the score completely close.
In their home game, the Cleveland Cavaliers firmly control the situation on the basketball court. Although maybe they could not win the last game tonight, it doesn't matter, as long as they can win this game.
Everyone knows that a 45-point victory is not easy to obtain, so there is no need to play against the opponent in every game. In this game, the most important thing for the Cleveland Cavaliers is to win the game.
Because only by winning this game can the Cleveland Cavaliers turn passive into activeness in this round of series, they can always gain a leading advantage over it, and the next game will still be held at the Cleveland Cavaliers' home speed loan center.
So whether this game can win may also have a significant impact on the next game.
The New Yorkers are also very clear about this, but in the away game, the New York Knicks will naturally feel that it is much more difficult than at home.
And when Cameron Anthony made three consecutive mid-range shots at the beginning and his fourth shot was blocked by Wu Dawei, the New York Knicks also fell into some delay on the offensive end.
Although Mike Woodson, the home court of the New York Knicks, immediately replaced JR Smith, who almost had an internal strife scandal before the game, to strengthen the team's offense, this did not improve the team's situation much.
Because JR Smith was not able to establish contact with his teammates well on the basketball court, although JR Smith's farce was soon stopped by Cameron Anthony who stood up.
But it should be true that there was some unpleasant feeling in the hearts of other players of the New York Knicks. Most of the people in this team are not old friends who have played together for many years. Many of them have just played together for less than two seasons, so their relationship naturally cannot be extremely deep.
And at such a time it was the moment when everyone established a deep friendship. JR. Smith had such a thing, and his words did cause harm to his teammates.
So it is obvious that JR Smith seems a little out of the entire team after playing!
Although the New York Knicks really want to win this game tonight, it is obvious that they are facing too many difficulties under internal and external troubles.
Although the big victory in the first game once allowed the New Yorkers to see the hope of eliminating the Cleveland Cavaliers, the defeat in the second game and the incident caused by JR. Smith all caused the New York Knicks to fall back into the mud pond.
For the New Yorker, this is not good news. On the basketball court, JR. Smith, as the team's No. 3 or even No. 2 scorer, was separated from the entire team's system, which made this team suddenly feel many difficulties!
In this case, it is obvious that all favorable situations are slowly moving towards the Cleveland Cavaliers! This is of course something that Wu Dawei is happy to see. The New Yorker's arrogant before the game did make Wu Dawei feel unhappy. Now, seeing them so decay, Wu Dawei is naturally happy to meet.
