588. The battle of life and death
The fourth battle between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference semi-finals will continue to be played in the Cleveland Cavaliers' home speed loan center!
For the Cleveland Cavaliers, they are of course confident about the fourth game that comes next. After all, they have achieved two consecutive victories before this. No matter from any perspective, they will be the side with more advantages before the start of the fourth game.
As the opponent of the Cleveland Cavaliers, the situation of the New York Knicks is not so good. The two consecutive losses have caused the entire New York Knicks to be very injured. They naturally hope to be able to sweep the downturn in the fourth game, but the problem is that they may not be able to win in the fourth game.
Even themselves are not so confident about themselves. Because after losing two consecutive games, the New York Knicks also know how difficult the next fourth game will be.
Although the Cleveland Cavaliers lost one game at the beginning of this round of series, fortunately they soon re-enacted their momentum in the second and third games. It is precisely because of this that the Cleveland Cavaliers are now able to lead the New York Knicks 2:1 in the total score.
Of course, under such a situation, the Cleveland Cavaliers will certainly have more confidence in the upcoming fourth game.
Not just the entire Cleveland Cavaliers are full of confidence in this upcoming game. The local media in Cleveland are also very optimistic about the next second home game.
After all, no matter from any aspect, the Cleveland Cavaliers have completely gained the upper hand. Although the New York Knicks still have a chance to win this round of series, the problem is that their hope of winning this round of series is much smaller than the Cleveland Cavaliers!
Before Game 4 is about to begin, almost everyone thinks the Cleveland Cavaliers will win this game easily.
"I don't think the Cleveland Cavaliers have any reason to lose their second home game tomorrow. The New York Knicks have no way to prove that they are a better team than the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Cleveland Cavaliers have proved that they have suppressed the strength of the New York Knicks in the past two games! In the past two games, both sides have completely demonstrated their respective strengths like everyone. In my opinion, it seems that the Cleveland Cavaliers are better!
Maybe the New York Knicks did play a dazzling performance this season, but this does not mean that they can win the championship this season! In my opinion, the Cleveland Cavaliers are still the better team, they are the favorites to win the championship. The New York Knicks are at best a contender for the Eastern Conference championship!”
In the TV show of tn.t, Charles Barkley, who is a loyal fan of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Wu Dawei, had this full confidence in Wu Dawei and the Cleveland Cavaliers when talking about this round of the series!
In his opinion, although the New York Knicks did have performed amazingly this season, they are still a little immature when they want to compete for the championship.
At least in comparison with the Cleveland Cavaliers, they are still at a more disadvantage.
At least Charles Barkley looks at it this way after playing three games in this round of series. There are not a few people who share the same views as him. After all, in this round of series, except for the first game, there is nothing to be picky about in the performance of the remaining two games.
Although the New York Knicks won the first game, in the eyes of most people, they still cannot say that they have any advantages in this round of the series.
Indeed, they once surprised countless people in the first game of the two-sided series, but more often the Cleveland Cavaliers were the ones who had the upper hand.
Otherwise, the New York Knicks would not have lost to the hands of the Cleveland Cavaliers in two consecutive games. No matter what the reason is, if you lose, you lose. And the referee didn't help much. Isn't this just because you're not as good as others?
Since they are not as skilled as others, there is nothing to say. Naturally, it is impossible for everyone to be more optimistic about the New York Knicks, which is currently behind in this round of the series.
If you want to get recognition from others, you must speak with your strength. This is a common truth all over the world, so naturally there is nothing to say about the New York Knicks.
Maybe they will feel indignant about being looked down upon when the total score is only 2:1, but if the New York Knicks want to change the current view of others, then they must take some practical actions!
Winning the fourth game is the best opportunity for the New York Knicks to change their views on them. Of course, in most people's eyes, this will not be an easy thing, because the Cleveland Cavaliers can now be said to have completely gained the upper hand in all aspects. The New Yorkers want to win the game at the Quick Loan Center, but it is much more difficult than they have in their home games!
However, this is also the only opportunity for the New York Knicks to change their views on them, and they do need to win this game very much.
Only by winning this game can the New York Knicks have room to turn around. And even if the outside world does not look down on them, for the New York Knicks, they must play a completely different performance from the second and third games in the fourth game!
Back to New York with a score of 2:2 and 3:1, but two completely different results! So for the New York Knicks, even if they do not come from the outside world, they will definitely do their best to win that game in the fourth game and tie the total score between the two sides to 2:2!
So for the New York Knicks, they have no way out, and they only have the only way to win the game. If they cannot win the game in Game 4, then after returning to New York, they will not only not get any chance to breathe, but on the contrary, they will also be under huge pressure!
Because if they really return to New York with a 1:3 disadvantage, it means that the New York Knicks will not have any way out in the fifth game!
So at this time, the New Yorkers naturally understood that if they wanted to get their own advantages after returning to New York, then the fourth game was the battle they had to win.
But this is not an easy task for the New York Knicks, because they cannot completely solve the problems exposed in the third game in just one day!
If they cannot solve such a problem, how can the New York Knicks win the game in Game 4? Moreover, the situation in Game 4 will still be like the last game, and it is not a friend to the New York Knicks.
The opponent won two consecutive victories in the away game. No matter how you look at it, the New York Knicks are at a disadvantage in this game...
In this case, it is naturally difficult for them to guarantee that this game will definitely win. But if they cannot win this game, then the New York Knicks will face an almost desperate situation!
For the New York Knicks, which had vowed to win the league championship this season before the start of this round of series, this was definitely a huge blow.
So no matter what, the New Yorkers definitely need to win the fourth game. No matter how difficult this game will be, the New York Knicks will not let go, because for them, if they lose the fourth game, it will basically be equivalent to losing this round of the series.
Although the total score was only 3:1 at that time, you should know that in the history of the league, when the total score was 1:3, there were almost only a handful of times they could win the series!
What's more, the New Yorkers are very clear in their hearts. If the target is the Cleveland Cavaliers, then if they are behind and give the opponent two wins, it will be almost difficult to win or there is almost no possibility of winning this round of the series...
Because it is absolutely impossible for Wu Dawei and his Cleveland Cavaliers to lead 3:1 and give the New Yorkers any possibility of winning this round of the series to complete a comeback...
This is also an important reason why the New York Knicks will bear huge pressure before the start of the fourth game. Although the New York Knicks will not be eliminated immediately even if they lose the fourth game, if they lose this game, it will basically be equivalent to losing hope of the New York Knicks to advance...
