After defeating the New Jersey Nets and turning the record into 30 wins and 28 losses, the Cavaliers suffered a relatively big Waterloo in the next five games.

One win and four losses, losing in a row to the New Orleans Hornets Houston Rockets, Portland Trail Blazers and Sacramento Kings only won the Charlotte Bobcats, who are also the East Division team.

This directly led to the Cavaliers' winning rate falling below the 50% mark, becoming 31 wins and 32 losses. Fortunately, at the same time, the Philadelphia 76ers and the New York Knicks did not seize such an opportunity. Opening the lead position to live is a complete overturn to the Cavaliers' ranking.

The 76ers also ranked ninth in the East District with a record of 31 wins and 32 losses. Because of the difference in the previous match between the two sides, even though the 76ers caught up with the Cavaliers' record, they still had to be behind the Cavaliers.

However, although the Cavaliers still managed to be able to be ranked eighth in the East after such a bad losing streak recently; the gap between them and the New York Knicks, who were ahead of them, has quietly become even bigger!

Although the Knicks' recent record is not outstanding, after playing the same game, the Knicks' record has become 34 wins and 30 losses. Obviously, after experiencing the pain of Cameron Anthony's early joining, the Knicks are gradually getting on the right track!

Although coach Mike D'Anthony still failed to solve it well, Cameron Anthony and Amare Stoudemire coexist on the court at the same time and the distribution of ball rights, even if multiplication is not possible, at least the Knicks have added

1+1=2 is an important reason why the New York Knicks have been able to maintain their record relatively smoothly recently

Fortunately, all the bad situations will be changed with the official return of Changxi Billups. No matter how physical condition of Changxi Billups is now, whether he can get along with the team as soon as possible. Just his appearance on the team's roster to activate the twelve people is enough to make many people feel excited.

At least the Cavaliers' generals have great expectations for the veteran's return.

Of course, it is not just because of Chauncey Billups' great and famous reputation outside, but more so through this period of time and the training together every day

Although Chauncey Billups couldn't practice with the team when he first joined the Cavaliers, just a week later, he began to practice with the whole team.

Even on the eve of his comeback, he had participated in the group confrontation training during the team training many times. Team head coach Byron Scott also attaches great importance to this veteran who just joined the team. In the group confrontation training, Billups directly wore a white vest representing the main player. Ramon Sessions, who has been the team's point guard for more than a month, wore a yellow vest and was assigned to the substitute group.

Of course Sessions has no complaints about this. This situation is something that everyone knows. Moreover, before that, head coach Byron Scott also found Sessions to talk to him.

So Sessions seemed very calm about his return to the bench lineup

When Chauncey Billups returned to the Cavaliers, time had quietly entered March, and there were only about a month or a few days left before the regular season of the league this season.

The league had already announced the best player in February in the East and West of the League a week ago. In the Eastern Conference, LeBron James won the best player in the East for the second time this season. Even if this season is definitely not his lucky season, James is still able to rely on his best and outstanding personal performance, making it impossible for people to ignore the shining light he shines.

The Bulls' core point guard Derek Ross, who currently leads the VP list, has been behind LeBron James, and has once again missed the title of Player of the Month

In the West, Kevin Durant became the best player of February in the West

Wu Dawei didn't even get a nomination because the Cleveland Cavaliers' record was 8 wins and 10 losses in February, and even the winning rate of more than half was not even reached. Although Wu Dawei had extremely good personal performance during this period, he even scored an astonishing nine steals in the All-Star Game in late February!

But all this cannot win a nomination for Wu Dawei. Although this alliance does advocate individual heroism, it depends on the overall performance in the end.

Excellent personal performance and excellent team record, this is the kingdom in the league

This is also the realm that Wu Dawei is pursuing tirelessly. No one is willing to live in the back, otherwise there will be no water to leave people down and go up. Pursuing a higher realm is the root of progress. Therefore, for the next game, the Cavaliers naturally have to strive for victory.

Although the players' moods were somewhat affected by one win and four losses in the previous five games, they are still ranked eighth in the East. This is also a good news in the bad situation. The Cavaliers entered the final playoffs this season, because not only the Philadelphia 76ers and the Cavaliers have the same record as the Cavaliers, but in the future, the Milwaukee Bucks' record is also approaching quickly!

The 30-win and 33-loss Bucks are eyeing the Cavaliers and the 76ers and may catch up at any time. This means that if the Cavaliers are not careful, they will most likely go directly from the eighth place to the tenth place in the East!

Then this is really getting farther from the playoffs

Therefore, relying on the only slight advantage left at present, the Cavaliers can no longer lose.

Now in this situation, Chauncey Billups' comeback is particularly critical. The rest of the things that need to be cared about next is whether Chauncey Billups can integrate into the Cleveland Cavaliers team in the game, help the team to a higher level, and completely get rid of the current unfavorable situation and crawl out of the quagmire again!

Of course, since the regular season is coming to an end, everyone wants to see immediate results, because time no longer allows the Cavaliers to continue waiting. After all, the regular season is about to end.

"Since the end of the All-Star Game, the Cavaliers' record has been 3 wins and 5 losses. They are in poor form, but in fact, as long as one state is in front of the All-Star Game, there are signs. To be precise, after the Cavaliers completed the deal with the Los Angeles Clippers, their condition is not as good as before."

"When we find out the reason, it is not difficult to find that it even feels very simple. It is that it is losing Morris Williams, so that the Cavaliers always do not have a good controller of the game rhythm on the court. Ramon Sessions is indeed a qualified substitute point guard, and he can even complete the mission of point guard well in a weak team. But if the Cavaliers' goal is to make the playoffs, then it is undoubtedly difficult for Ramon Sessions to become the core point guard of such a team."

"He has never been outstanding in the overall situation. Although Morris Williams is not a defender with an excellent overall situation, Williams has the offensive attack ability that Sessions does not have! His breakthrough and pass-through can often have miraculous effects, and Williams is also a good player on the outside, but Sessions does not have offensive firepower like Williams. A point guard with poor offensive firepower and poor view of the situation is naturally difficult to drive the team's rhythm in the game!"

"But fortunately, the Cavaliers still have time, and more importantly, not long ago, the official website of the Cavaliers announced an exciting news that the point guard Changsey Billups, who has joined the team for two weeks, will make an official comeback in the near future!"

"No doubt, at such a difficult moment, Billups' comeback is of great significance to the Cavaliers, and it is tantamount to a timely help! And the first game of Chauncey Billups joining the Cavaliers has been confirmed! On March 10, the main superstar of the Cavaliers and Wu Dawei joined hands for the first time this season to face the New York Knicks! What's more interesting is that the Knicks were once Billups' short-term former club this season. Maybe at that time, we can have some unexpected surprises, such as the old point guard who wants the New Yorkers to see their true strength!"

Brian Windhorst, a reporter from the Cleveland Honesty Businessman, actively builds momentum for the game before the Cavaliers are about to face the New York Knicks at home.

The significance of this game is not just that the Cavaliers have the opportunity to narrow the gap with the seventh in the East. Although the Cavaliers have won twice this season, everyone knows that the New Yorkers are still dissatisfied.

And more importantly, Cameron Anthony, the new boss of the Knicks, has a deep resentment towards Wu Dawei, from blocking six times in a single game to competing for the All-Star Game, and even Cameron Anthony has publicly complained about Wu Dawei.

This gives this game a lot of highlights. Although this game will not be broadcast live across the United States, there will still be many people who will keep such a game closed.

And it is said that by then, the number one fan of the New York Knicks, the great director Spike Lee, has already bought a ticket to Cleveland and followed the team from New York to Cleveland to cheer for the Knicks away!

People know that before Cameron Anthony joined, the big-name fan was the one who had the deepest grudge against Wu Dawei. In the previous two encounters between the Knicks and the Cavaliers, the two even talked in the game.

Although this is only a small episode in the game, many people are still looking forward to it (to be continued)
