The 42-win and 4-loss Cleveland Cavaliers have two games to play before the All-Star Game begins, and of course they also hope that they can win 44 before the All-Star Game begins.
However, at this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers are already leading the Miami Heat, which is currently second-placed, with a total of 4 wins and a second-placed Miami Heat, which is currently only 38 wins and 7 losses.
But after all, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they will not be affected too much, and they still hope to continue their victory pace so that they can win 14 consecutive games before the All-Star Game begins.
This is certainly a great thing, but the premise is that the Cleveland Cavaliers need to beat these two opponents at their home court.
Although the opponent's strength is not that outstanding, the Cleveland Cavaliers still have to be cautious enough to treat it.
The penultimate game before the All-Star Game begins will be the home game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Detroit Pistons.
The Pistons have not performed well this season. Although they traded Brandon Jennings from the Milwaukee Bucks, it is obvious that the arrival of the latter has not actually brought much help to the Detroit Pistons this season.
However, they are currently ranked tenth in the East, and for the Detroit Pistons, they still have a chance to enter the top eight this season.
So they will definitely not give up on themselves and give up. After all, they also hope to enter the playoffs.
So if they can get a chance in the game, they will definitely try their best to win the game.
The Detroit Pistons' luxurious inside team will also be in the game, making the Cleveland Cavaliers feel more afraid.
Although the Cleveland Cavaliers also have Dwight Howard's excellent center player in the inside, they can't stand the opponent's lineup.
Although Josh Smith is a bit brainless this season... However, the Detroit Pistons' inside strength is still very domineering.
Even the Cleveland Cavaliers who own Dwight Howard may not be able to guarantee that they can face such an inside group that will definitely have the advantage.
And if you cannot gain an advantage, it will be difficult for the Cleveland Cavaliers to easily win at home.
But after all, they still have a huge advantage in terms of strength. So the Cleveland Cavaliers are not afraid of such an opponent at all.
After all, they have Wu Dawei. Wu Dawei can be said to be unable to defend on the outside now. Although Josh Smith can be said to be talented, it will still make him feel very difficult to fight Wu Dawei.
Smith's strength is still far from Wu Dawei, but the Detroit Pistons are not very afraid of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
When the game started, although the game would be held at the home speed loan center of the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Detroit Pistons played very fiercely from the beginning.
This somewhat made the Cleveland Cavaliers feel a little unexpected because they thought their opponents would play hard or be cautious.
After all, in this game, the Detroit Pistons are the relatively weak team. If they want to win, it is better to be cautious.
However, it is obviously not in line with the Detroits' view of this game, so they played well from the beginning, which suddenly made the Cleveland Cavaliers unexpected...
They didn't expect that their opponents would dare to play so big on the away game, so the Cleveland Cavaliers became the side that was behind and disadvantaged just as the game began.
This is something that no one can think of, and it is precisely because of this that the Cleveland Cavaliers fell into a passive state at the beginning of the game.
Fortunately, the Cleveland Cavaliers soon recovered and did not let the Detroits be arrogant and domineering on their territory.
After all, no matter what, this place is a quick loan center. It is the place where only one game has been lost so far. How could the Cleveland Cavaliers allow weak teams to be presumptuous here? So even though the Cleveland Cavaliers were at a disadvantage at the beginning of the game, they quickly reversed the decline.
After all, their strength is still much stronger, and it is precisely because of this. Therefore, the Cleveland Cavaliers soon came back to their senses and immediately caught up with the gap in the score.
When the Cleveland Cavaliers caught up with the score gap, they naturally began to control the game. Although the Detroits still wanted to compete with the Cleveland Cavaliers at this time, it was obvious that they would completely fall into the Cleveland Cavaliers at this time.
After all, the huge gap in strength makes them seem very passive at this time.
When the game situation is under control by the Cleveland Cavaliers, it is even more difficult for the Detroiters to turn the tables back.
After all, the gap in strength between the two sides is still too big, and when the game started, Wu Dawei's performance was incomparable to Josh Smith.
It is precisely because of Wu Dawei's outstanding performance that the Cleveland Cavaliers not only completed the overtake quickly, but also began to firmly control the situation after the overtake.
Naturally, under such circumstances, the game began to stabilize. The Cleveland Cavaliers began to control the situation in the game, and at the same time, they gradually began to establish a leading advantage.
For the Cleveland Cavaliers, when they establish an advantage, they will naturally not give a weak team another chance.
So the Cleveland Cavaliers naturally easily won the game. Although they were still at the disadvantage at the beginning, they quickly overtook the score.
It is precisely because of this that the Cleveland Cavaliers can be said to have basically not experienced any twists and turns in this game, and they simply won the victory.
Wu Dawei continued to perform very well in this game, with 37 points, 11 assists and 4 rebounds. Wu Dawei was in the match with Josh Smith, which really put the latter at a completely disadvantage.
Although Josh Smith is the star that the Detroit Pistons spent a lot of money to summon last summer, it is obvious that his performance this season, and his performance in the Atlanta Hawks last season, are definitely in the sky and in the ground!
It is precisely because of this that people say that the Detroit Pistons have lost all their money...
The Cleveland Cavaliers don't care what kind of business the Detroiters did. They won the game and it was a big win. In the end, the Cleveland Cavaliers got a 20-point advantage at home.
This alone is enough to make them feel excited, and after defeating the Atlanta Hawks, the Cleveland Cavaliers achieved a 43-4 record at this time.
Such a result is enough to make the Cleveland Cavaliers feel happy, and at the same time, their winning streak has reached 13 games again.
Although it was not as terrifying as it was at the beginning of the season, it was still halfway through, which at least made many people look up to them.
After all, it is not easy to achieve a wave of winning streak, not to mention the second long winning streak that was not long after.
Although the number of games is not as long as the first time, the winning streak of 13 games is also enough to attract people's attention.
After defeating the Detroit Pistons, time is getting closer to the All-Star Game. This is of course a special day for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
After all, the Cleveland Cavaliers will be the first time in this All-Star Game, with three players taking the All-Star Game starting at the same time!
This is enough to be recorded in history. So as the day when the All-Star Game began, the Clevelanders were increasingly excited.
However, Wu Dawei didn't feel much about this, because after all, this was not even considered an honor. It just happened to hit him, so he didn't agree with it.
For Wu Dawei, he is now paying more attention to the next game, because that will be the last game for the Cleveland Cavaliers before the All-Star Game begins.
For the Cleveland Cavaliers, of course, they hope to end the first half of the season with a winning streak.
In this way, they can also enjoy this small holiday with peace of mind and welcome the arrival of the next half of the season.
After all, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they not only hope to achieve a good result now, but also hope to continue the current winning streak.
So they still have to be extremely cautious about the next game. The last game before the start of the All-Star Game was the match against the New York Knicks at home.
There is no doubt that this is a very weak team. Currently, the New York Knicks are only ranked in the bottom three in the East, which is simply too bad to be overwhelming.
If it weren't for being in New York, there might not be too many people who would remember them this season, but it is precisely because they are in New York and their past grudges and resentment with Wu Dawei that this game is still being watched by countless people.
However, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, of course, they do not have much pressure. After all, their opponent's strength is not last season, so the Cleveland Cavaliers will not be afraid of this opponent in their hearts.
Moreover, in the first match between the two sides this season, the Cleveland Cavaliers can be said to have beaten the New York Knicks completely, so they have no reason to be afraid of such an opponent.
However, the New Yorkers still attach great importance to this game. Obviously, if they want to play against the Cleveland Cavaliers and Wu Dawei, the New Yorkers will automatically become inexplicably excited...
Obviously this time is no exception. When the New York Knicks came to Cleveland again, the New York media also started to make a big splash again...
For the Knicks, it seems that there is a taste of anyone losing but not losing to the Cleveland Cavaliers...
From this point of view, it can be seen how resentful the New Yorkers are now towards the Cleveland Cavaliers and Wu Dawei.
So although the two teams currently have a huge gap in terms of strength and condition, the New Yorker still wishes to defeat the Cleveland Cavaliers.
However, for Wu Dawei, he certainly wants to regard the New York Knicks as the stepping stone for the team's 14th consecutive win.
After all, the Cleveland Cavaliers not only have an advantage in strength at this time, but also they are the ones at home.
Playing at home will naturally bring more psychological advantages to the Cleveland Cavaliers, so they will definitely be less afraid of such an opponent.
However, what was unexpected was that when the New York Knicks came to Cleveland, although the memories of the last time they came here were not very good, this time the New Yorkers still showed great confidence...
Especially Cameron Anthony, the core of the New York Knicks, although as the team leader, he was unable to lead the team to continue the strong performance of the last season, has always been criticized by Anthony. However, at this time, he showed extremely strong self-confidence in the face of the media.
This will also surprise the Cleveland Cavaliers. After all, the current record of the New York Knicks is a bad time, but as the main player of the Knicks, Cameron Anthony, dared to show great confidence when facing the previous team that is currently 43 wins and 4 losses.
This is indeed something that many people cannot imagine, but Cameron Anthony's statement in front of the media will not have much impact on the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The last time he came to Cleveland, wasn’t he just a pledge to the media? But he still couldn’t take away the victory from the Quick Loan Center.
However, his statement this time really made the Cleveland Cavaliers players eager to try. After all, this is the last game of the first half of the season. After this game, everyone will get a rest time, so of course everyone hopes to have a comfortable holiday.
And undoubtedly after Cameron Anthony said that, he and his team will become the target of public criticism in the game.
After all, the game will be played at the home court of the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the New Yorkers are the visiting team after all, and they will not get much support in the game.
Even then, Spike Lee will still appear on the sidelines of the Quick Loan Center to cheer for the New York Knicks. But this will not change the situation where the New Yorkers will be in a quagmire at that time.
But when you think about it, everyone still knows why Cameron Anthony said this under such circumstances.
Judging from his first fight with Wu Dawei, the grudges and love between the two have lasted for a long time. It is absolutely impossible to say that Cameron Anthony has no resentment towards Wu Dawei.
If LeBron James has the greatest resentment towards Wu Dawei in this league, then Cameron Anthony will be third even if he is not the second...
After all, before Wu Dawei was born, he was a three-small striker who was standing shoulder to shoulder with LeBron James and Kevin Durant.
Not to mention that Wu Dawei is the leader now, he has also made Cameron Anthony and the New York Knicks feel very embarrassed in the playoffs in the past two seasons...
So, how could Cameron Anthony, who meets Wu Dawei and his Cleveland Cavaliers, have a slight show of weakness?
He must do his best to compete with Wu Dawei, because he was dissatisfied from the bottom of his heart. Even though Wu Dawei has achieved such outstanding results now, it is obvious that Cameron Anthony will not be convinced just like this.
So there is only one way, that is, continue to fight and defeat Cameron Anthony in a crushing way, which is obviously the only choice.
However, Wu Dawei has no interest in conquering Cameron Anthony. For him, he only wants to play as outstanding as possible for the team in the regular season and the championship trophy this season!
Although Cameron Anthony may not be willing to admit it, the pursuit between Wu Dawei and Cameron Anthony is completely different.
He is pursuing the championship, and Cameron Anthony may have begun to become very confused... After all, the Knicks' performance is now hopeless, because they are difficult to obtain the qualification for the playoffs...
Although people always say that the Eastern Conference is not competitive, the current record of the New York Knicks is really bad. Even if the Eastern Conference playoff qualification is not competitive, it will be difficult to fall on the heads of the New Yorkers.
And under such a situation, Cameron Anthony's dream of winning the championship is going further and further...
