"Although before this game, both the New York media and the New York Knicks' core Cameron Anthony had said that he must win this game, obviously, it was still too difficult for them!"
After the Cleveland Cavaliers became the leading side after the first quarter ended at 29:20, all the statements made by the New York Knicks before the game became a laughing stock for people at this time.
"It seems that New Yorkers have much more skills in talking big than they are on the basketball court!"
Clevelanders certainly felt very unhappy about the New Yorkers' provocation before the start of this game.
After all, you have to know that the Cleveland Cavaliers had achieved 43 wins and 4 losses before this, and a 13-game winning streak is incomparable to the New Yorkers with poor record.
Therefore, of course, the Clevelanders would not be satisfied with being despised by the New Yorkers, and they even sneered at their idea of winning this game.
After all, the score gap between the two sides now is enough to show how huge the gap between these two teams is.
So at this time, Clevelanders will of course laugh at the New Yorkers for being overestimated.
After all, they can't tell at all that they can win this game tonight!
So when the festival is suspended, the local Cleveland commentators will naturally laugh at the New Yorkers frantically.
After all, the New Yorkers' arrogance before the game has touched the bottom line of the Cleveland media, so they naturally have to give New Yorkers some colors at this time.
Otherwise, the New Yorkers would think that the Cleveland Cavaliers, who currently rank first in the league record, would be afraid of them!
Of course, the Clevelanders are not afraid of the New York Knicks at all. Not to mention that they are in trouble now, the New Yorkers were at their heyday last season. The Cleveland Cavaliers eliminated them in the playoffs.
It is naturally even more impossible to be afraid of them now!
The New York Knicks will naturally become in a difficult situation at this time. After all, they are originally the disadvantaged side. At this time, the booing fans at Cleveland at home, led by media commentators, will definitely interfere with their game.
This is the advantage of the home court, otherwise the teams in the league would not fight to the death in the regular season in order to have one more home court in the playoffs.
After all, a home advantage may produce miraculous effects in a round of series! This is all a matter of history.
So at this time, for what you said in New York, the pressure they have to face naturally becomes even greater.
With the 9 points behind, the pressure on the New Yorkers now makes them breathless. Although the game has only been in one quarter and there are still three quarters to get the New Yorkers to catch up with the 9-point gap.
However, after the first quarter, the Cleveland Cavaliers obviously suppressed the New Yorkers in an all-round way, so the New Yorkers felt particularly worried at this time because they did not have particularly great confidence. They can ensure that they will definitely be able to overtake in the next second quarter.
After all, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who played at home, completely led the New Yorkers in the first quarter, and in such a situation, the New York Knicks wanted to easily catch up with the lagging points or even overtake the lead in the second quarter.
Not to mention it is a dream, at least it is indeed an extremely difficult thing.
So when the second quarter started, the New Yorker did not launch a very crazy offensive immediately, but tried to play more steadily.
As the core of the two teams, Wu Dawei and Cameron Anthony were both sitting on the bench to rest, and the game was no longer as fierce as before.
The two sides played in a good way, but the score gap did not change much at this time. Both sides played very steadily. Neither side did not force the attack.
This situation is a scene that both sides are willing to see. After all, the game has just reached the second quarter. No matter it is the Cleveland Cavaliers or the New York Knicks, there is no need to react fiercely so early.
No matter what, there is still a second half waiting for both sides after this quarter. So at this time, neither side issued a strong impact to disrupt the current situation in the game.
In this way, when both sides were about to replace all the core players in the second quarter, they still remained at a gap of around 9 points.
Although such a game would seem a bit calm, at least the score gap has not been narrowed, which is also good news for the Cleveland Cavaliers; and for the New York Knicks, they have not been further widened by a larger score gap, which is also good news for them.
So at this time, they can't say that they will feel unhappy or unhappy about it. However, compared to the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are still ahead of their opponents at home, the New York Knicks players will still feel lingering fears about such a gap at this time.
However, for Cameron Anthony, he still needs to work hard to catch up with the score gap at this time.
After all, before this game began, it was precisely because of Cameron Anthony's big mouth that made this game have such a huge gimmick.
So at this time, Cameron Anthony is of course responsible. He will not watch his team fall into the abyss step by step!
However, after he came on the court, it was not easy for Cameron Anthony to quickly help his team recover the current gap of 9 points.
Because at this time Wu Dawei had also returned to the basketball court. For Byron Scott, although the team currently has a huge lead, he would not be careless.
After all, Cameron Anthony's performance in the first quarter was still very outstanding, so when he saw Cameron Anthony on the court, he would naturally send Wu Dawei to the basketball court.
Because Wu Dawei is obviously the best person to defend Cameron Anthony in the Cleveland Cavaliers lineup. So no matter what the team is in, Byron Scott will not let Cameron Anthony be outside Wu Dawei's defense on the offensive end.
And when Cameron Anthony faces Wu Dawei on both offense and defense, the situation he has to face will naturally become extremely serious.
Even though he still performed well in the first quarter, when he had to face Wu Dawei on both offense and defense, he would still be clean and very stressed.
After all, Wu Dawei's performance in the first quarter was also very outstanding, and it can even be said that he was even better than Cameron Anthony.
Otherwise, the Cleveland Cavaliers would not be in the lead after the first quarter, while the New York Knicks would become a lagging side.
Of course, it is because Wu Dawei's outstanding performance played a huge role in it.
So when the two people re-emerge on the court at the same time, Cameron Anthony will naturally feel the pressure; and similarly, as the person who has to face Cameron Anthony on both offense and defense throughout the game, Wu Dawei will also feel the pressure.
Although in the past few years, whenever Wu Dawei met Cameron Anthony, he had almost never been at a disadvantage, but he would feel pressured every time.
After all, Cameron Anthony is a superstar no matter what, and he is in good shape recently. The most important thing is his words before the start of this game, which made this game push to the forefront.
Although the Cleveland Cavaliers are still very confident in winning this game, the opponent made a bold statement and would definitely do his best in the game.
Even if the Cleveland Cavaliers have full confidence in winning this game, if they lose the game by accident, then it will of course be an extremely bad thing for the Cleveland Cavaliers, which is already at the forefront.
So at this time, Wu Dawei will of course feel pressured.
However, compared to Cameron Anthony, the pressure on him will of course be less.
After all, the disadvantaged side in the game is not the Cleveland Cavaliers.
After the two of them took the stage, the score also changed tremendously at this time. Although the score difference did not change much, the score had changed from 20:29 to 29:38.
The Cleveland Cavaliers, who played at home, still led by 9 points, and when the game started again, the ball was in the hands of the New York Knicks.
Cameron Anthony naturally became the key figure that the New York Knicks relied on on the offensive end at this time, and he took the pass from his teammates in the frontcourt without permission.
Even though he was facing Wu Dawei's fierce defense, Cameron Anthony had no intention of retreating at all.
He had a good offensive performance in the first quarter, so he naturally would not be scared at this time. Facing Wu Dawei's defense, Cameron Anthony did not even ask his teammates to help him after receiving the ball. He waved his hand and looked extremely heroic.
Then when his teammates helped him to open up the singles space, Cameron Anthony launched a rushing attack!
He held the ball and broke directly into the inside, trying to use his strong body to knock Wu Dawei out of his bloody path.
He knew that the team needed his own help at this time, and such a score gap had been a stalemate for a long time.
If you continue to stalemate like this, it will be easy to get rid of the Knicks' bloodiness in this game.
So at this time, Cameron Anthony did not have many choices, and the charge he launched during this attack was also very bluffing.
Wu Dawei was unable to withstand his rush for a while. Although Wu Dawei was also very strong, in order to maintain his flexibility, Wu Dawei still maintained his tonnage.
Cameron Anthony's increasingly "weight" figure was at this time, and he fought desperately to get Wu Dawei away, which won a chance for Cameron Anthony.
He took the lead in this attack. This made Cameron Anthony rushed in directly, and then threw the ball into the basket with a skilled hook!
As a result, the New Yorkers naturally cheered. After all, the gap in scores has lasted for a long time.
And Cameron Anthony just came on the court and helped the New York Knicks break such a deadlock, which is of course a great thing for them!
The score became 31:38, and the Cleveland Cavaliers' leading advantage was narrowed to 7 points. Although it was only narrowed by 2 points, the impact and significance of the situation at this time on the game is not like this!
Because of Cameron Anthony's goal that just came on the court, the New Yorkers' momentum has returned to the momentum. After all, Cameron Anthony just came on the court and threw the ball into the basket under Wu Dawei's defense. For the New Yorkers, they will rekindle their hopes.
At this time, the only thing the Cleveland Cavaliers can do is to score the ball at this time and expand the gap in the score again.
Wu Dawei also thought so at this time. Although his previous concealment made him feel a little upset. However, since it has happened, no matter how much he is upset, it is useless.
So instead of being upset, it is better to help your team at this time and rebuild the lead. Bring the score apart again, obviously that is the best choice.
So after Wu Dawei conceded the goal, he didn't care about the excited expressions of Cameron, Anthony and the New Yorker, but ran through the half at this time.
Kyrie Irving also understood it at this time. He didn't even lead the ball over halftime, so he directly chose to hand the ball over to Wu Dawei.
After Wu Dawei received the ball, the defender he faced was not Cameron Anthony. Obviously, Cameron Anthony's tonnage became a burden to him at this time.
Standing in front of Wu Dawei was Raymond Felton. Obviously, the latter could not stop Wu Dawei's attack at all. When Wu Dawei received the ball, he jumped up without even getting the ball.
Relying on his height advantage that he is too much taller than Raymond Felton, Wu Dawei directly pulled out of the three-point line when facing his opponent. This is a very bold decision and choice!
Because Wu Dawei threw the ball out before his teammates even arrived; of course, at this time, the New York Knicks players did not all get a good position.
So when Wu Dawei threw the ball out, the basket was empty and everyone ran in. Even Wu Dawei took a step forward, but he stopped quickly.
Because Wu Dawei saw the ball flying for a while, he crawled into the basket with a blink of an eye!
The ball entered the basket, and there were naturally a loud cheers in the entire Quick Loan Center. Then, the next second, I saw the score gap between the two sides on the big screen being rewritten again.
The score became 31:41!
Wu Dawei's three-pointer at this level undoubtedly appeared in time. For the Cleveland Cavaliers, although they had conceded the goal just now, it was obvious that Wu Dawei's success was made up.
At this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers directly expanded the gap in the score to more than double digits!
For New Yorkers, this is of course a huge blow!
Because they didn't expect that they had just started to make some momentum, but in a blink of an eye, they were suppressed by Wu Dawei's three-pointer...
The situation became subtle again. Of course, it was definitely very unfavorable for the New York Knicks. After all, they were suddenly widened to the double-digit gap...
You should know that at this time they did not let the score gap become double digits... Undoubtedly, when Wu Dawei threw the ball into the basket, the New Yorker's feelings of loss were beyond words.
Especially Cameron Anthony, his depressed look is simply sad at this moment. However, the game still needs to continue at this time. Although Wu Dawei's three-pointer at this level really hits the New Yorkers' confidence in catching up with the score at this time, it is also impossible for the New Yorkers to give up the idea of chasing points because of such a three-pointer.
In any case, Cameron Anthony's shooting goal just now still rebuilds some self-confidence for the New Yorker.
When the ball rights were changed and came back to the New Yorkers' hands, the New York Knicks naturally began to focus a lot of ball rights in the hands of Cameron Anthony, who is currently in great shape.
At this time, Cameron Anthony naturally could not be discouraged. After all, he successfully played singles against Wu Dawei before, so at this time, he was of course confident that he would succeed in the second singles!
After all, he was in very good shape in this game tonight. (To be continued...)
