609. Stress and Motivation

Spike Lee sat on the sidelines in a depressed mood. Although the Quick Loan Center arranged many cheerleader performances during the intermission. However, the hot dances of the cheerleader beauties obviously could not be wiped out Spike Lee's extremely depressed mood at this time.

Because for Spike Lee, he came to Cleveland from New York to see the ecstatic dance of the cheerleaders of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

What he wanted to see was that the New York Knicks could win this game tonight, rather than being behind 57:60 in the half game, giving the Cleveland Cavaliers three points.

This made me feel very bad at this time, and what was also felt bad was the players of the New York Knicks who were in the visiting team's locker room at this time.

For the New York Knicks players, their performance in the first half was not bad. Although they were behind, at least they had bitten the score and did not allow the Clevelanders to play high chaos at home. All of this is something that makes people feel satisfied.

At least on the road, their current performance is pretty good. However, for the New York Knicks, who are bound to win in this game, the result is not so satisfying.

So at this time, of course they would not be satisfied with such a result. Because in their opinion, falling behind is failure. At least for the New York Knicks, this is the game tonight.

In this game tonight, they have no way out. There is only a way out for victory, because the failure of this game tonight is equivalent to being eliminated. So for the New York Knicks, they can only strive for victory in the game.

For the Cleveland Cavaliers, their situation is much better. The current 3:2 lead gives them more choices in this game.

But despite this, the entire Cleveland Cavaliers are still the same as the New York Knicks, and they do not want to accept the defeated ending! Although even if they lose this game tonight, the Cleveland Cavaliers will not be eliminated, they still hope to end this round of the series in this game tonight!

This is the result they want most, rather than letting this round of series be dragged into the seventh final battle! Because for any Clevelander, it is really hard to accept that in a series where they are stupid and have a very advantageous advantage, it is really hard to accept.

So at this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers' desire to win the game in this game is no less than that of the New Yorkers!

After entering the locker room, the head coaches of the two teams still talked about the players the most, and they were still defending!

In the first half, both the Cleveland Cavaliers' head coach and the New York Knicks' head coach, Byron Scott and Mike Woodson, were very dissatisfied with the team's defensive performance in the first half.

Of course, in comparison, as the head coach of the New York Knicks, Mike Woodson will definitely be more dissatisfied with the team's performance at this time. Because his team is currently the backward side, and losing 60 points in the first half made Mike Woodson feel uncomfortable.

Although Mike Woodson basically didn't emphasize defense much when coaching the New York Knicks, Mike Woodson could no longer ignore defense in this game tonight.

Obviously, in this game tonight, both sides' offenses were very good, so the key point must be on the defensive end.

If anyone can play better defense to curb the opponent's offensive performance, then that team will obviously have some advantages in this game tonight.

This is unquestionable, so at this time, both sides will naturally pay more attention to and emphasize their own defense.

Because whether it is for the Cleveland Cavaliers or the New York Knicks, both sides have fully demonstrated their respective attacking abilities in the first half.

They have no problems with attacks, so in the second half of the game, if one side can better play excellent defense, then that side will obviously take the lead in the second half of the game!

This will allow the team with better defense in the second half to gain a better advantage! So at this time, how could the head coaches of the two teams not emphasize more on defense to the players under their command during the halftime break!?

Because only by playing better defense can we bring substantial help to the two teams at this time. If defense is still not emphasized in the second half of the game, then there is a high possibility that all kinds of uncontrollable accidents will occur in the game.

This is something that is unacceptable for the New York Knicks and the Cleveland Cavaliers. So at this time, whether it is the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Byron Scott, or the head coach of the New York Knicks, Mike Woodson, are both tirelessly emphasizing the importance of defense to the players under their command.

Of course, compared to the Cleveland Cavaliers, which are relatively balanced offense and defense, the New York Knicks have always been a team that focuses on offense and defence. It is not easy for them to understand the importance of defense in a short period of time.

Although they can indeed understand the importance of defense, it is hard to say when they really go to the basketball court. For example, JR Smith, he might immediately forget Mike Woodson's advice and start playing his basketball again...

So compared to Byron Scott and Mike Woodson, he was obviously the more tired person at this time. Because he had to constantly instill the idea of ​​defense in his players, especially the masters in the team!

They were the key figures of Mike Woodson preaching during the intermission, because these people were even more defensive guys. So at this time, Mike Woodson not only wanted to emphasize defense to the whole team, but also had to implement key preaching on several of the key targets...

Because only in this way may some effect be produced.

Byron Scott doesn’t need to be so laborious. As the core of the team, Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard are both players who have won two consecutive DPOYs!

So under their leadership, this team is even less likely to be a team that is not defensive in its overall style. This is why, although the Cleveland Cavaliers are not as good as the New York Knicks in their regular season record, in the eyes of most people, they are still a team that is far more champion than the New York Knicks.

Because they are not just a team that makes people feel desperate on the offensive end, but their performance is also terrifying on the defensive end!

The New York Knicks' casual attitude on the defensive end is where they cannot compare with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

This is the difference between the two teams. When the second half of this game is about to compete in defense, naturally, under such circumstances, people will naturally feel that the Cleveland Cavaliers, who play at home and lead the New York Knicks by 3 points in the first half, will have more hope and opportunity to win this game tonight!

The fifteen-minute break was almost preached by the head coaches of the two teams. When the rest time was exhausted, the next two sides naturally had to welcome their second half of the game.

Whether it is for the Cleveland Cavaliers or the New York Knicks, it is not easy for them to win the game in this game. However, at this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are playing at home, have gained more advantages, so their mentality will of course be easier for the next second half of the game.

However, it will not be much easier, because the performance of the New York Knicks in the first half also makes people know that this game will become very difficult.

Especially when Wu Dawei thought of the offensive performance of Cameron Anthony and JR Smith in the first half of the game, Wu Dawei felt even more depressed.

Of course, he hopes that he can suppress their offensive performance in the second half, but this is not an easy task. Otherwise, Wu Dawei would not have made them each contribute 19 points and 15 points in the first half game!

As the core of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Wu Dawei will definitely have more pressure in the second half of the game.

Because he not only wants to make some achievements on the offensive end, but also has to shoulder the team's heavy responsibilities and banner on the defensive end. Otherwise, how can he help the team win this home game tonight!?

To win tonight, you can advance to the next round, not only the motivation for the Cleveland Cavaliers, but also the pressure on them!
Chapter completed!
