30:31, when the second quarter game started again after two minutes of rest between the festivals, both sides changed their own rotation lineups at this time.

Whether it is the Cleveland Cavaliers or the New York Knicks, they all know what the key point is at this time. Naturally, it is defense! Whether it is for the Cleveland Cavaliers or the New York Knicks, their offensive performance in this game tonight is still very good.

So at this time, when the second quarter game kicked off again, both sides must strengthen their teams and strengthen their defense.

No one wants to continue to play like this, whether it is the New York Knicks or the Cleveland Cavaliers. Although playing like this will make the game very beautiful, it is not what the head coaches of the two teams on the sidelines want to see.

Fans like it because such a game will look better, while the head coach looks from the team's perspective, so naturally he will not want both sides to play a game without defense.

Because this will make this game full of variables, and for any team's head coach, it will not be something they like.

For those who have the goal of winning, of course, they hope that the situation of the game can be under their control. Because in this way, they can better master the game.

No one likes the feeling of being led by others by the nose, because that is really a bit bad. So at this time, of course, both sides will emphasize defense in particular.

Whether it is the New York Knicks or the Cleveland Cavaliers, they all hope to perform better than before in the next second quarter.

After all, this is the most important thing for both teams at this time. No one wants the score to remain in stalemate like this, because this will make this game full of too many variables.

Neither the Cleveland Cavaliers nor the New York Knicks, they don’t want such a thing to happen. So in the second quarter, strengthening defense will naturally become the theme of both sides.

After the second quarter started, both sides changed into rotation lineups, and the starting core players were resting under the basket at this moment. Everyone was resting for the next game and maintaining enough physical fitness. Only in the next game can they play in a better state.

This is true for both Wu Dawei and Cameron Anthony, because both of them had very good performances in the offensive end of the first quarter.

So whether it is the Cleveland Cavaliers or the New York Knicks, the second quarter is not only about playing defense, but also about getting more rest time for the core players in their respective teams.

The second quarter game started again after the two minutes of rest between the festivals. Of course, not all the core players of the two teams were resting under the basketball court.

Kyrie Irving, as the team's core point guard, continued to lead the team forward on the basketball court; and on the New York Knicks side, the team's best sixth man, JR Smith, also re-emerged on the court at this time.

The game started again, although the Cleveland Cavaliers had a 1-point lead at the end of the first quarter. However, after the start of the second quarter, the first player to have the ball was the New York Knicks who played away!

The New York Knicks took the initiative at this time, because no matter how much a point is for any team, as long as it is not the last moment of the game, it is basically not an advantage.

Because you can easily score 2 points with one shot, a point is not an advantage at this time. Whether for the Cleveland Cavaliers or the New York Knicks, both sides are almost standing on the same starting line.

However, because the New Yorkers are currently holding the ball, maybe they are still more proactive! At least it is a big challenge for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

After the second half of the game began, the ball was first in the hands of the New York Knicks, and the Cleveland Cavaliers had to defend the opponent's attack before they could continue to have the opportunity to expand the score lead.

And before that, they had to defend the opponent's attack at the beginning of the second quarter! But obviously this was not easy, because JR Smith also seemed particularly excited in this game!

After the second half of the game began, there was no Cameron Anthony on the court. As the team's first offensive point at this time, JR Smith's attitude of launching an attack after holding the ball was very firm.

But when Kyrie Irving faced him, he was unable to successfully curb JR Smith's first offense in the second quarter!

This made the Cleveland Cavaliers, who played at home, fall into a situation of falling behind just after the second quarter began. This is a very depressing thing, especially the Cleveland fans on the sidelines.

The team fell behind again, of course, which is not what they wanted to see. Fortunately, although Kyrie Irving was unable to contain JR Smith's offense well on the defensive end, he still gave the fans a relatively satisfactory answer when he returned to the offensive end of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

His offensive goal also helped the Cleveland Cavaliers, who played at home, gained the lead again. In any case, it would be good to get the lead again.

However, when the score became 32:33, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who had regained the lead in the score, could not be said to be at ease now.

Because the ball rights were back in the hands of the New Yorker at this time, JR Smith's confidence soared at this moment.

He is such a person. After he scored the first goal on the offensive end, he was able to get into the state quickly. He might have a sudden draw. His nerve knife attribute is a double-edged sword for any team.

And the New Yorkers certainly hope that the good side of this double-edged sword tonight will be against the New York Knicks, while the bad side will be against the Cleveland Cavaliers!

Spike Lee was also very nervous at this time. Since the beginning of this game, his nerves have always seemed very nervous.

Because for him, this is likely to be his last time watching the New York Knicks game this season. Although he is not willing to think so, the situation of the New York Knicks is indeed not optimistic at this time.

Although the current score is particularly anxious, at least at present, it is impossible to directly tell who can win this game. However, the New York Knicks are the side of the away game after all. If they are not careful in this game, they may be directly defeated by the Cleveland Cavaliers. By that time, they will have no room for a turnaround!

So at this moment, when he saw JR Smith scored a goal in the second quarter, he hoped that this player with the nerve knife attribute would be able to sniff the wind in this game tonight!

And when the ball rights returned to the hands of the New York Knicks, JR Smith was still the number one controller. After halftime, he immediately showed everyone his attributes as a nerve knife...

Just after halftime, I threw out an almost brainless projection! And it was a step away from the three-point line...

JR Smith's choice to shoot in this place was indeed something that no one expected. Not only the Cleveland Cavaliers players, but even his teammates in the New York Knicks, could not imagine that JR Smith would choose to take action like this...

This is simply a very crazy thing! This is not reasonable at all, nor is it the style of play advocated by Knicks head coach Mike Woodson, but this is JR Smith's style of play...

The ball entered the basket with a silence!

But the moment the ball drilled into the basket, even the team's head coach Mike Woodson, who disagreed with it, couldn't help but cheer for JR Smith, not to mention others!

The score changed again in the blink of an eye! 35:33!

The New York Knicks once again overtook the score and expanded their lead to 2 points. The situation suddenly turned over, just like what they said before.

Although the Cleveland Cavaliers had a 1-point advantage when they entered the break in the first quarter. However, before the critical moment of the game, a 1-point lead was really not an advantage.

Now the Cleveland Cavaliers are behind and give the New York Knicks 2 points, so the situation naturally becomes unfavorable to them all at once.

Immediately, the Cleveland Cavaliers were unable to perform accordingly on the offensive end, which gave the New York Knicks a chance to play away.

Originally, they were not a good signal when they were behind away, but after the second quarter began, maybe even they themselves wouldn't have thought that they could turn the score and situation so quickly...

The situation suddenly became very unfavorable for the Cleveland Cavaliers, and it continued to deteriorate. JR Smith obviously got fucked. When he scored a three-pointer, his feeling was so good that it was beyond replenishment.

So after controlling the ball again and passing half the court, he still chose to attack by himself. Without any idea of ​​passing the ball to his teammates, JR Smith launched the offensive again, and was still facing Kyrie Irving's defense, he successfully threw the ball into the basket!

In this way, the New York Knicks, who played away, led the Cleveland Cavaliers, who played home, and the score difference reached 4 points!

For the New York Knicks, this is their best time in this game! At least this is the case at this time. Although they had surpassed the score in the first quarter, they were immediately overtaken by the Cleveland Cavaliers.

And now, they obviously have temporarily maintained such a leading trend! The score gap has reached 4 points. For the New York Knicks, it is definitely the time for them to benefit the most in this game.

Byron Scott, the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers who emphasized defense during the break during the holidays, was naturally angry at this situation.

Because he repeatedly emphasized the importance of defense during the two minutes of rest between the festival, but after the team started again in the second quarter, it was obvious that they were unable to play a good defense.

The New York Knicks' continuous scoring allowed them to dominate! And the Cleveland Cavaliers will naturally become particularly passive under such circumstances.

So the timeout was inevitable, and the Cleveland Cavaliers asked for their first timeout in the second quarter.

"Defense and defense! Where is our defense!? Where is the damn defense!?"

As the players walked down from the court one after another, the team's head coach Byron Scott angrily scolded the players' performance on the defensive end.

Obviously, such behavior must be inconsistent with what he had told him before.

That's why Byron Scott seemed so angry at this time, because for him, such a situation was not what he wanted to see, and he also felt that his players could perform better.

How can the New Yorker make such a casual attack? This is the most important reason why he feels angry.

So at this time, he knew that he could no longer let the team continue like this. Without wanting the team to continue at a disadvantage like this, substitution is undoubtedly the best adjustment.

Of course, Wu Dawei, who is the core of the team at this time, is of course the first choice in Byron Scott's mind. As the team's outside defense gate, Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard can be said to be the most reassuring players on the defensive end.

At this moment, the player who went wild in the New York Knicks was JR. Smith. Of course, Wu Dawei must be the first choice for substitution adjustments at this time.
Chapter completed!
