The Cleveland Cavaliers relied on Wu Dawei's five consecutive points in the second quarter to regain the advantage of the score in the game in their own hands.

41:45, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who played at home, took 4 points again. Although they did not perform well at the beginning of today's second quarter and were even at a huge disadvantage, fortunately, they played their due performance in the next game.

This also helped the Cleveland Cavaliers regain a 4-point lead and forced the New York Knicks coach Mike Woodson to request a timeout at this time.

Because the New York Knicks' backwardness is not a good sign, in the last two games in the Quick Loan Center in this round of the series, it is completely impossible for the New York Knicks to win the game if they are at a disadvantage.

So naturally, as the team's head coach, Mike Woodson, of course, should pay more attention to this details.

After all, this must be very careful, because the New York Knicks are currently behind 2:3 in the total score, which makes them have to be more careful than usual.

Because the New York Knicks really have no way out in this game, for them, they have no way out, but they cannot tolerate any mistakes.

Of course, at this time, Mike Woodson, the team's head coach, saw that the situation on the basketball court became very bad, so he naturally asked for a timeout to interrupt such a situation.

Just like the timeout requested by Byron Scott before, during this timeout, the New York Knicks head coach Mike Woodson also emphasized the need for the team to work harder on defense.

At the same time, because he was hit by the Cleveland Cavaliers before, Mike Woodson, as the team's head coach, also hopes that the players can play more carefully on the basketball court.

Try not to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers with such an opportunity to play a defensive counterattack like this, because the goal in such a counterattack is really a huge blow to anyone!

It not only makes a great blow to our team, but also makes the opponent's morale greatly increase. Because in the defensive counterattack, it is easy to cause the opponent to quickly dunk!

In basketball games, violent dunks will always boost the morale of the other party, and will also cause a blow to one side!

Just like Wu Dawei's previous one-arm dunk soaring in the sky, the entire Quick Loan Center was boiling, and New Yorkers' emotions fell into an underestimation!

The situation of the game was reversed all of a sudden, which was an important reason why Mike Woodson couldn't wait to request a pause at this time!

Because in his opinion, if he does not request a timeout and lets the opponent continue to play like this, then his team will hardly have too many good results in the next game!

That's why he so decisively requested a pause, and after this pause, the factual effect also proved the correctness of such a pause.

After the timeout came back and the game began again, the New York Knicks on the basketball court did stabilize their position slightly. At least they did not continue to let the Cleveland Cavaliers expand the 4-point gap, which is for the New York Knicks. At least this timeout is very worth it!

When the game started again, the Cleveland Cavaliers were indeed unable to continue to widen the score gap between the two sides as before.

However, at this time, the game also began to pass the rotation period, and both sides changed their starting players and core players to the court.

This is the final final battle of the first half. Everyone hopes to end the first half with more advantages, so that the leading side can spend a more stable fifteen minutes.

So after the game started again, the situation on the basketball court was still very anxious. However, thanks to the 4-point lead created by the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Cleveland Cavaliers always maintained their advantage over the New York Knicks in the following games!

This allowed the Cleveland Cavaliers to have a leading position in the second half of the second quarter. And they also managed to maintain such a leading advantage in the subsequent games!

Although Cameron Anthony and JR Smith were in good shape as the No. 1 and No. 2 scorers of the New York Knicks in this game tonight, the outstanding players on the Cleveland Cavaliers also scored a lot of them.

This game is not just a life-and-death battle in the New York Knicks series, but also another opportunity for the Cleveland Cavaliers in this round of series.

They had already missed an opportunity to end this round of the fifth game between the two sides. Of course, in this game tonight, they certainly would not hope to miss such an opportunity again!

For the Cleveland Cavaliers, since they have a great chance of winning this round of the series, they naturally do not want to waste such a hard-won opportunity again and again.

After all, the previous three consecutive victories are still fresh in memory. They will not hope to experience two consecutive losses or even three consecutive losses shortly after their side achieved three consecutive victories...

So in this game tonight, it was a home game. The Cleveland Cavaliers had no reason to win this home game tonight.

Therefore, the performance is not only good at the New York Knicks, but also Cleveland Cavaliers. In addition to Wu Dawei's outstanding performance on both offense and defense, Dwight Howard, as the team's inside core, is also as stable as ever.

Although Dwight Howard has not performed much in the playoffs due to his inside players, he has almost achieved a stable performance of 20+10 in every game, and even better average per game.

So this is one of the reasons why the Cleveland Cavaliers' strength is higher than the New York Knicks, which rose to the league's first record this season!

This is the foundation of a strong team. Although the Cleveland Cavaliers suffered from large-scale injuries at the beginning of this season, in the end, after the whole team was in order, the Cleveland Cavaliers could still play the style of defending the champion!

They eliminated the Brooklyn Nets in the first round of the series and shaved the opponent a bald head with a total score of 4:0, which showed some of the championship momentum.

At present, although it is not easy to play in the series, leading the New York Knicks with a total score of 3:2 is enough to show the strength of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

If the teams from New York can be eliminated in two consecutive rounds of the playoffs this season, then the Cleveland Cavaliers can be said to be the New York killer...

This is also what New Yorkers are most reluctant to see. The two teams in their city that rank at the top of the league in total salary were actually killed by a club from a small country town in the playoffs. This is undoubtedly a shame and makes people feel speechless.

So at this time, although the New Yorkers don’t want to lose the game, the reality is still relatively cruel!

The Cleveland Cavaliers are still the leading side, while the New York Knicks are chasing them desperately. The script is a bit like it is back in the first quarter.

Although the Cleveland Cavaliers are the leading side, they cannot expand the leading advantage at this moment. Although the New York Knicks are not behind, they have not been able to narrow the gap in the scores...

Whether it is for the Cleveland Cavaliers or the New York Knicks, this is of course a thing that will make them feel uncomfortable. But what is even more uncomfortable is obviously the New York Knicks who are behind the side away from home...

When the first half ended, they still couldn't catch up or even overtake the score. The score was 57:60, and the Cleveland Cavaliers, who played at home, entered the midfield with a three-point lead.

However, for such a result, it seems that the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are the leading side, are not particularly happy from top to bottom. The team's head coach shook his head and walked into the team's locker room. Obviously, he emphasized many times in this game, but he did not really get beaten out in the first half of the game...

As the core of the team, Wu Dawei was expressionless when entering the player channel. Obviously, he was not satisfied with such a result. Because Cameron Anthony scored 18 points in the first half, which exceeded half of his average score in this series. So it can be said that Wu Dawei's restrictions on Cameron Anthony were not very good in the first half.

Fortunately, Wu Dawei still performed well on the offensive end. He scored 18 points and 5 assists, and also had 2 steals and 1 block on the defensive end.

What is more surprising is that JR Smith also scored 15 points in the first half of the game tonight! This is even more than his average performance in this round of the series!

But even so, JR Smith's performance when entering the player channel was also unhappy. The reason is very simple. Although his performance was outstanding enough, his team did not take the lead at the end of the first half, which made him feel the most unhappy.

Although JR Smith sometimes looks like a lunatic, he also knows how important this game tonight is to the New York Knicks.

So the backwardness in the first half of the game would not make anyone in the New York Knicks feel any joy and happiness!

But at this time, no matter how dissatisfied with such a result, they must accept such a result.

Because for them, the first half of the game has ended at this time. What they have to prepare for now is to start the second half of the game that will begin in fifteen minutes.

After all, no matter how good the first half is, the 24-minute game time in the second half is the time to decide the outcome of this game!

Although both sides were dissatisfied with their performance in the first half, as long as they could play a very outstanding second half game, the winning side would still belong to them!

For the head coaches of the two teams and the core players, they must leave their previous performance in the first half of the game at this time, and devote all their energy to the second half of the game during the half break!

This is the most important thing!

But in general, the performance of the two teams in the first half will definitely make the Cleveland fans who came to the Speed ​​Loan Center to cheer for the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight feel even happier.

No matter how small the lead score is, the three-pointer is also a point, and no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat. At least the Cleveland Cavaliers are the leading side now, from the moment they are of course closer to the victory of the game.

During the halftime break, New York fans would not be so happy. Especially in this game tonight, Spike Lee, who still came to the Speed ​​Loan Center to cheer for the New York Knicks.

He was not happy at this time because the team he supported was the backward side. However, the only thing that was good news was that the New York Knicks were not behind, and they still had the hope of completing a comeback in the second half.

At this time, with almost all the Cleveland Cavaliers around, Spike Lee could only use this to talk about comfort...

Because beyond that, he couldn't think of anything that could make him feel happy and happy...
Chapter completed!
