269. Get the upper hand
Wu Dawei's steal gave the Cavaliers another chance to counterattack.
Only after head coach Byron Scott transferred Wu Dawei into the starting lineup this season, the Cavaliers can always establish some advantages at the beginning. Wu Dawei's defense can show his toughness at the beginning, which can easily make the opponents who have just entered the game feel somewhat uncomfortable.
After Wu Dawei intercepted the ball, the Cavaliers quickly made a counterattack. Since Anthony made a breakthrough from a high position, naturally, when Wu Dawei intercepted the ball, he changed from a rear to a front.
He has a good advantage in geographical location. Grasping such an advantage is something that Wu Dawei has been sitting on this season. The reason why he was able to perform so well in this season is that in addition to his amazing prediction ability and hard training, there is also a big reason for him to always grasp what he needs to grasp.
All these factors constitute Wu Dawei's current success.
Wu Dawei's pace of turning offense to defense was very fast. Of course, it was not just him who was quick. Anthony Parker, who had been in the starting lineup for almost half a season, almost the moment Wu Dawei completed the steal, threw away the opponent beside him and ran towards the frontcourt.
Wu Dawei's shots were also very decisive. People know that he is not a person who loves to be greedy for the ball. He looks more like a guy who is keen on constantly destroying his opponent's confidence on the defensive end.
Anthony Parker got the ball in the frontcourt, and Bill Walker was responsible for playing against Parker before. This guy has a much bigger body than Parker. But at this critical moment, such a figure really dragged him down!
When Parker got the ball and ran farther and farther towards the frontcourt, Walker finally slowed down after symbolically chasing a few steps and watched Anthony Parker make a layup in the Knicks.
The Cavaliers got another very outstanding start, 0:4. Although the performance of Chauncey Billups is most anticipated by the performance of this game, who would not be happy if the team they like can have a good advantage in the game?
The moment Wu Dawei cut off Cameron Anthony's ball, Spike Lee's expression changed from extremely depressed to expressionlessness. Perhaps the director recalled the past and recalled some scenes from the past, which made him have an unknown premonition about tonight's game.
The Knicks quickly reorganized the offense, but Tony Douglas has no advantage over his first two players. Let's not mention Chauncey Billups, who is currently the point guard of the Cavaliers, and even Raymond Field, who is currently a substitute in the Denver Nuggets, the young Douglas has many shortcomings.
However, the reason why the New York Knicks have been able to maintain a good winning rate in recent times is of course impossible because they rely on a young point guard like Tony Douglas.
Cameron Anthony and Amare Stoudemire's personal offense in the frontcourt are their magic weapon to win. Amare Stoudemire left the Phoenix Suns this season and left Steve Nash, and he re-proven his strength on the offensive end.
His average of 25 points this season tells the world that his previous success with the Phoenix Suns did not rely entirely on Steve Nash's outstanding personal assists.
He also has his own super firepower on the offensive end. After halftime, Tony Douglas hangs the ball into the inside. Amare Stoudemire stuck behind him and Andre Valejo, who is responsible for defending himself.
After receiving the ball, Stoudemire began to attack the inside. At this time, his Knicks teammates had already set aside for him and created enough singles space for him.
Although Andre Valejo is also a defensive player, it is obvious that compared to Wu Dawei, Valejo's skills are still extremely obvious. At least this time, Amare Stoudemire did not have the ball in his hand cut off like Cameron Anthony before.
On the contrary, Amare Stoudemire scored the first score tonight tonight in the interior for the New York Knicks. This temporarily alleviated the embarrassment of such a critical situation at the beginning of the Knicks.
2:4.
Spike Lee on the sidelines had finally started the offensive end and finally stopped looking lifeless. He applauded excitedly, but could not reverse the current situation where the Cavaliers are still the leader on the court.
So, while Spike Lee got up and cheered for the Knicks, he also shouted to the Knicks players who were about to return to defense: "Come on, boys! Defend the next round of attack! We can get the advantage back!"
After Billups took the ball through half, Tony Douglas still set off a defensive posture in front of Billups. Billups discovered Douglas's higher position, so Billups chose to break through.
He lowered his center of gravity and faced Tony Douglas, Chauncey Billups, who were much younger than him, who chose to withstand the other person with his body and squeezed over!
Although Billups is older, his ability to break through is still not to be underestimated as his ability outside the three-point line.
Billups broke into the inside and instantly attracted the defense of Amare Stoudemire. Billups hit the earth and passed it to Chris Kaman, who made a dunk in the inside!
2:6, although the New York Knicks relied on Amare Stoudemire's strong attack in the inside to complete the performance of breaking through the Duck Egg on the offensive end tonight, they still find it hard to think of a way to curb their opponents when defending.
Originally, Wu Dawei, who was extremely efficient and did not greedy for the ball, was already a huge problem, but now there is another Chauncey Billups. Such a situation is obviously very likely to make the Knicks anxious in defense.
Fortunately, although he has not yet found any good way to curb his opponent on the defensive end, the Knicks have found a breakthrough on the offensive end. Amare Stoudemire once again got the ball on the offensive end. This time he was not in the inside line, but was holding the ball near the middle distance.
Similarly, the moment Amare Stoudemire got the ball, the Knicks players opened up space for him to play singles.
Stoudemire faced Andre Valecho's defense at mid-range, and directly used an emergency stop jump shot to score two points for the New York Knicks away.
4:6. Although it is difficult to solve the current attack of the Cavaliers, it is an acceptable category to be able to follow the opponent's footsteps in such a relatively difficult period.
However, the biggest highlight of this game is not that Amare Stoudemire helped the New York Knicks score frequently on the offensive end, so that the Knicks would not be defeated by the Cavaliers at once.
Except for Chauncey Billups' state, the rest of the things people want to see are naturally all the personal showdown between Wu Dawei and Cameron Anthony.
The two had a matchup at the beginning, and Wu Dawei easily won on the defensive end. His steals and blocking shots always make people stunned.
From the beginning of the showdown between the two, it seemed that Wu Dawei had the upper hand, but after this steal, Anthony did not get too many opportunities on the offensive end. Because Amare Stoudemire was in good shape.
However, in addition to being extremely powerful on the defensive end, Wu Dawei should not be underestimated on the offensive end. Anthony's failure to perform does not mean that Wu Dawei will follow his pace.
The New York Knicks played against the Cavaliers at home in the first six minutes of the first quarter, and the Cavaliers have always taken the initiative on the court.
Wu Dawei scored 4 points in these 12 minutes, and Chauncey Billups also scored 4 points, and the remaining 4 points were obtained by Anthony Parker and Chris Carman.
Coincidentally, the scores of these two people were assists given by Wu Dawei and Changxi Billups.
The New York Knicks, 6 of 8 points were obtained by Amare Stoudemire alone, and the remaining points had nothing to do with Cameron Anthony, it was Bill Walker's tip-off at the basket.
Although Walker is a bit too big as a quarterfinal, it also gives him some advantages at the basket.
In this way, the data of the Cavaliers' two stars Wu Dawei and Chauncey Billups is the same as 4 points and 1 assist; while the Gemini stars of the New York Knicks, Amare Stoudemier and Cameron Anthony, have been struggling to support it so far.
Anthony didn't score a single point in the first six minutes of the first quarter, and there was a row of big duck eggs in the data. This situation of course made Cameron, who was ambitious before the game, vowed to "take revenge" and was very upset. Similarly, it also made Spike Lee, a big-name fan who supported him extremely before the game, also became a little depressed.
Haven't you seen that in the first six minutes of the first quarter, Spike and Li didn't clamor too much? If the New York Knicks had the advantage in the past, this old man would have to compete with Wu Dawei.
But tonight, until Wu Dawei was replaced by coach Byron Scott in the ninth minute of the first quarter, Spike Lee had no chance to argue with Wu Dawei.
Because Cameron Anthony did not show any strength to compete with Wu Dawei. Could it be that the last battle between the two sides and the tragic record really hurt Anthony's fragile heart and made him unable to recover?!
