626. Showdown
Although the New York Knicks were the leading side at this time, Cameron Anthony, who was standing in front of Wu Dawei at this time, was also feeling Alexander!
The score is 106:105. The New York Knicks, who played away, were the leading side when the game entered the last minute. This is of course a gratifying thing, but the problem is that such an advantage is not a big guarantee.
As long as Cameron Anthony cannot defend Wu Dawei's attack, they will once again become the backward side. So Cameron Anthony knows that he must try his best to defend Wu Dawei at this time, but this is not an easy thing!
At least this is true for Cameron Anthony. In this whole game, Cameron Anthony did not even defend Wu Dawei at once, and at this time he felt even less confident.
Wu Dawei is the opposite. At this time, he will of course attack more firmly. So when Dwight Howard mentioned that he was pick-and-rolled for himself at a high position, Wu Dawei immediately launched an attack!
The cooperation between Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard has always been the killer weapon of this Cleveland Cavaliers on the offensive end. Because whether it is Wu Dawei or Dwight Howard, they are players who are difficult to defend alone.
So when the two of them started pick-and-rolls at the high position, the other party could easily feel helpless. Just like at this time, when Wu Dawei used Dwight Howard's pick-and-roll to attack the inside, Dwight Howard also followed suit.
Cameron Anthony was blocked before, but Tyson Chandler was not particularly brave enough to switch defenses, because once he left Dwight Howard, Dwight Howard, who was passing by at this time would get a huge gap, so in this way, the Cleveland Cavaliers would definitely choose an alley relay without hesitation.
Because Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard can deliver many air relays in every game. At this time, if the Cleveland Cavaliers complete an air relay, it is obvious that it will have a great psychological impact on the New York Knicks who are playing away.
So at this time, Tyson Chandler did not change defense. Cameron Anthony was thrown away by Wu Dawei at this time, so Wu Dawei rushed into the paint area almost immediately.
Then, while Cameron Anthony was unable to keep up with him, Wu Dawei jumped up and then made a one-arm dunk!
106:107!
With less than 50 seconds left in this game, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who played at home, were once again led by the New York Knicks away game by 1 point!
In this way, they regained the lead in the score. This is definitely a great thing for the Cleveland Cavaliers who just lost the lead!
Wu Dawei's attack was also forced to request a timeout for the New York Knicks coach Mike Woodson, like the previous Byron Scott.
Because the situation was naturally reversed because of my document this time, and the advantage returned to the Cleveland Cavaliers who played at home, while the New York Knicks who played away became the backward side again!
The situation has become very unfavorable for them.
The entire Quick Loan Center also cheered again at this time. Although the Cleveland Cavaliers have only one point to gain the lead, it is enough to decide the winner at this time.
And in the next game, the Cleveland Cavaliers only need to defend the next attack. Then they can gain a bigger advantage in this game!
At this time, when the attacks of both sides were not so good in the previous few minutes, it was obvious that a successful defense was much less difficult than a successful attack.
So for the Cleveland Cavaliers, after Wu Dawei scored this goal, it was obvious that they had regained the upper hand. The New York Knicks fell into a disadvantage again. This was of course a big blow to them.
Previously, Cameron Anthony forced Kyrie Irving's goal to see them hope of winning this game tonight. But now, when the Cleveland Cavaliers regained the lead, the New Yorkers' hopes became very slim again.
Although they still hope to win the game, it is obvious that the current situation is not particularly good for them.
Because of the backwardness in the score, the New York Knicks are currently at a disadvantage. There is not much time left for the game, and more than 40 seconds is not very abundant for any team.
Moreover, the New York Knicks' offensive performance from the last five minutes of entering the game was not outstanding. Their offensive success rate was not high, otherwise Mike Woodson, as the team's head coach, would not be so anxious now.
But at this time, no matter how anxious and worried the New Yorkers are about this game, they still have to face the reality at this time.
That is to throw the ball into the basket in the offense after the timeout. This is the last time they can take the initiative in this game. If the ball cannot be thrown into the basket, the New York Knicks will face a huge problem.
That is, when the Cleveland Cavaliers grab the rebound, they must choose to foul because the attack time limit is definitely not enough for them to make two attacks.
And for the New York Knicks, even if they threw the ball into the basket in the next attack and took the initiative back, the crisis was still not resolved.
Because the Cleveland Cavaliers will have the last chance to attack this game tonight, and the New York Knicks have always performed poorly on the defensive end. So they also don’t have much confidence, just to ensure that they can defend the Cleveland Cavaliers’ last attack!
So at this time, no matter how you do it, it is a very risky choice for the New York Knicks. But no matter what, as the backward side at this time, the top priority of the New York Knicks is still to throw the ball into the basket first!
Because only in this way can they overtake the score. Only in this way can they do what they do next make sense. If the ball cannot be thrown into the basket, they will lose their last little initiative in this game.
This is certainly not what they want to see, so for the New York Knicks, the attack after the timeout is this attack they must score!
As the opponent of the New York Knicks in this game tonight, the entire Cleveland Cavaliers team also understands this very well.
Their situation is definitely much better now than the New York Knicks, because they have regained the lead, and with little game time left, as long as they can defend the next attack from the New Yorkers, they will be very close to the victory of this game.
So at this time, it is the most important thing for them to defend the New York Knicks' first offense after the timeout!
This is also what Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Byron Scott has been emphasizing for the players during this timeout. However, in this entire game, Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Byron Scott has been emphasizing this point with the players.
But their performance has never made Byron Scott feel satisfied, but at this time, Byron Scott still has to go and emphasize this point to everyone without getting tired of it!
Defense!
This is the focus of the Cleveland Cavaliers during this timeout. After the timeout ends and the two sides start to return to the basketball court, the Cleveland Cavaliers also know that they must play wonderful performances in the next defense.
Similarly, the New Yorkers also understand very well that in this offense after the timeout, they will encounter such a tenacious blockade by the Cleveland Cavaliers!
And they are obviously fully prepared for this!
This offensive and defensive game will become the most important round in this game tonight! The fate of the two teams in this game and even in this round of the series can be said to be maintained on the outcome of this game!
So at this time, no matter who is anyone, he understands very well that he cannot have any slight slackness or carelessness. Because this is very likely to ruin his team's efforts throughout the game, even a whole series, or even a whole season!
Of course, at this time, everyone is concentrating on this half of the basketball court! (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
