After winning Game 5, the Cleveland Cavaliers and the New York Knicks were in two completely different states.

For the Cleveland Cavaliers, except for the core Wu Dawei and the team's head coach Byron Scott, a few people, who were interviewed by media reporters, most of them were taciturn about the camera.

After all, they lost this game unexpectedly, which made them miss the opportunity to end this round of the series. Although they still held the opportunity in their hands, it was obvious that the situation of the Cleveland Cavaliers began to become more critical.

Although the New York Knicks were still the one behind after this game, after the fifth game, the New York Knicks players were very happy.

The winning of this game made countless people feel particularly excited, although they still trailed 2:3 in the total score. However, at this time, the New York Knicks players who won the fifth game did not seem to want to bother with this matter at this moment.

Needless to say, the most excited person must be before the start of this game, the once criticized core team Cameron Anthony.

"I said that we will win this game! Although we are still behind, this does not mean that we are just prey waiting to be slaughtered! Before the end of this round of series, there is no conclusion on who is the hunter and who is the hunter! We did not give up, and we are still eager for the victory of this round of series!"

Cameron Anthony, who was hit by false rumors before the game, once said that he would lead the team to win this game. And when the game was over, he undoubtedly did it, so he would also seem extremely excited at this time.

His statement is undoubtedly a way to vent his inner emotions. After all, before the start of this game, he had been violently criticized by New York media.

For Cameron Anthony, such a criticism would certainly make him feel particularly angry. So in the fifth game, he could be said to be fighting to the death.

In the end, Cameron Anthony also played a completely different performance from the previous three games in this game. In this game, Cameron Anthony scored 33 points and 11 rebounds!

Wu Dawei was not able to limit Cameron Anthony's performance in this game like in the previous games. This is also one of the important reasons why the New York Knicks were able to defeat the Cleveland Cavaliers in the game on the night of May 12.

For the New York Knicks, if you want to defeat the Cleveland Cavaliers, the most important thing is to consume Wu Dawei. After all, Wu Dawei's performance in every game is crucial to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Although the Cleveland Cavaliers are not just a superstar like Wu Dawei, they also have Kyrie Irving and Dwight Howard. But there is no doubt that Wu Dawei is the most important core player in the team.

If he can consume more of his physical fitness, it will of course be more beneficial for the New York Knicks to win the game. In the previous three games, Cameron Anthony's poor performance naturally cannot consume Wu Dawei. On the night of May 12, Cameron Anthony's performance was enough to consume Wu Dawei's physical fitness.

After all, Wu Dawei is both offensive and defensive in the Cleveland Cavaliers, so his physical consumption will naturally be even greater. Cameron Anthony's performance has made Wu Dawei consume more physical energy. Naturally, Wu Dawei cannot invest more energy on the offensive end.

So for Cameron Anthony, it is definitely a very celebratory thing to win this game. Although this game was not a hearty big victory, it was enough to make New Yorkers feel happy.

“We’re going to bring the series back to New York!”

Under the questioning of the reporters, Cameron Anthony, perhaps because he won this game tonight, became tough and even spoke. He expressed his ambitions to the reporters, and he wanted to bring the series back to New York with his New York Knicks.

There is no doubt that the meaning of this sentence is very obvious. Cameron Anthony and his team are going to Cleveland to win the game sixth victory!

This is undoubtedly a sign of determination. Such a remark certainly made the entire New York media follow the crowd! This is of course the scene that New Yorkers are most willing to see, hoping to defeat the Cleveland Cavaliers, especially in such a situation.

Originally, the New York Knicks looked down on the Cleveland Cavaliers before the start of this round of series, and there was no doubt that the face was swollen by the three consecutive wins of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Of course, under such a situation, the New York media hope that the team can win the victory in the next sixth game. In this way, they can return to New York, and the situation in the series may undergo a shocking reversal.

And by that time, the New York media can once again straighten their backs. They mocked the Cleveland media who had counterattacked them in the series...

For the New Yorkers, this is also their motivation at this moment. If you win the sixth game, then maybe they will go a step further from getting back their dignity!

At least in this round of the series, so far, the New York Knicks have a 67% winning rate in their home court, Madison Garden Plaza!

Although the results of winning in three games and two wins are not perfect, they are definitely not unsatisfactory. So if you can really win Game 6, then it is not impossible for the New York Knicks to win in Game 7 and then eliminate the Cleveland Cavaliers!

So when Cameron Anthony made such a statement, the New York media naturally became crazy excited. Because for them, if the team can really equalize the total score between the two sides at such a disadvantage, it will be a place that will make New Yorkers wake up laughing when they sleep!

Not just Cameron Anthony made such a statement alone. After the game, JR Smith, the sixth man of the New York Knicks, also said in front of the media: "We will continue to move forward and strive to win the game in the sixth game. There were too many reasons for the previous three consecutive losses, and now, our team has completely solved these problems. I believe we can win the game in the fifth game, even the seventh game! Although we are now behind the Clevelanders 2:3, we all believe that we can still win the game!"

When the team won, JR Smith naturally showed his arrogant nature again. However, at this time, when the New York Knicks won their home game, no one would stand up to refute him at this time.

At least the momentum of the New York Knicks is in full swing after winning a game, of course no one will come to their bad temper. Isn’t that uncomfortable and unhappy with themselves!?

So at this time, New York was in a state of peace! On the other hand, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who lost Game 5, seemed much more low-key.

After all, they finally lost this game, and the original 3:1 total score also became 3:2. Although the Cleveland Cavaliers are still the leading side, their current situation is indeed becoming more critical than before!

If the game cannot be won in Game 6, the Cleveland Cavaliers will be dragged into a very difficult situation by the New Yorkers.

Of course this is not a situation they are willing to see, but now, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they have to face such a realistic situation.

If they can't beat the New York Knicks in Game 6, then for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they will have to go through their first real life-and-death battle this season!

Naturally, under such a possibility, the pressure on the entire Cleveland Cavaliers team also doubled. They naturally have to face the sixth game that will come soon.

Because at that time, the New York Knicks, who are also behind, will definitely do their best. They will definitely give it a try, so for the Cleveland Cavaliers, although they still have a lead in the total score, such a lead is not enough to bring them any guarantee in the sixth game!

After the fifth game on May 12, the sixth game between the two sides will be played on May 15, which means there is still two days of rest for the two teams.

Compared to the Cleveland Cavaliers, the New York Knicks, which obviously had physical problems in the fourth game of the third and fourth game, needed more rest time.
