In the first quarter of the match with Wu Dawei, it can be said that Cameron Anthony did not take any advantage. In the eyes of most people, he was at an absolute disadvantage when facing Wu Dawei.

At the end of the first quarter, Wu Dawei had already scored 6 points, 2 assists, 3 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block, while Anthony's report card was surprising.

Cameron Anthony's performance, at least in the first quarter, was not as good as a superstar's standard.

In the first quarter of the confrontation with Wu Dawei, he could not show his style as the top three small forwards in the league, and was completely defeated by Wu Dawei, a newcomer who was still a pink and tender compared to him.

In addition, Kevin Durant, the Thunder star who joined the league in 2007, can be said that Cameron Anthony has been in a downward situation since his debut. The decline mentioned here is of course not his technical and tactical level and personal ability. Compared with a basketball player, he is still one of the talented people; it is about his status in the league.

When he first joined the league, Cameron Anthony was called a future leader who could compete with LeBron James. People called him and LeBron James a Gemini at the 2003 draft.

His performance in his rookie season did not disappoint such a title, but as his career progressed, Cameron Anthony had more and more gaps with LeBron James after seasons!

This gap is growing year by year. And more importantly, as the two gradually entered the Mesozoic generation from the new Shida player in the league, Anthony not only was he unable to compete with LeBron James for the title of the league's first small forward, but even the title of the title of the second small forward in the league soon could not be preserved!

Kevin Durant, who entered the league in 2007, grew up at an extremely fast speed, and soon squeezed Cameron Anthony out of the second place and became the second most powerful small forward player in the league today.

However, this is not the end of Cameron Anthony's decline, and perhaps it may be more suitable to call it the beginning now.

Wu Dawei, who has risen this season, is also a player in the third position. Although Cameron Anthony once beat Wu Dawei in the game at the beginning of the season, he was soon. In the second match between the two, Wu Dawei, who grew much faster than Kevin Durant, gave Cameron Anthony a blow!

A warning that shocked the entire league made Cameron Anthony completely ashamed.

He was blocked by Wu Dawei six times in a single game, which created the most blocked times in league history for a player in a game.

Cameron Anthony never thought that only others became footnotes when he created records. One day, such a big change would happen! He became footnotes when others created history! Such a situation would be unacceptable to Cameron Anthony.

Therefore, he was looking forward to the arrival of the game tonight because he wanted to give Wu Dawei the same shameful night. But obviously, the beginning of tonight was not as Anthony imagined, in the first quarter of the two. Anthony himself knew very well that he had never taken advantage of Wu Dawei from beginning to end. Instead, Wu Dawei cut off the ball when he attacked for the first time, becoming a joke for the whole audience!

This situation surprised Anthony and even felt ashamed, especially when he remembered that he had openly questioned Wu Dawei and squeezed him to become the All-Star Game. Anthony became increasingly unwilling!

This is not the beginning he wants, and he is even less willing to let such an beginning continue like this! Because this is something he can't tolerate, and he wants to prove tonight that he is still one of the three best small forwards in the league!

In this era when small forwards are prevalent in the league, Cameron Anthony knows what a huge glory this is. He has occupied this position for many years, and what he has paid for it is his hard fight with those well-known stars one after another!

This is the glory he fought for, and Cameron Anthony naturally cannot give in!

He knew very well that tonight's game was a game that would be successful if he didn't succeed. If he lost to Wu Dawei in this game, then perhaps from now on, when people talk about the three strongest forwards in the league, their names may be difficult to appear on such a list.

Maybe I will fall behind my friends LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Wu Dawei, and ranked fourth. Although this is just a gap in position, have you seen any competitions that will set up a podium for a fourth place?

The fourth will not become your glory. The only thing it can do for you is to win the sympathy of others. When you should be reaching the peak of your personal competitive state, you are suppressed by a group of better players and feel sympathy!

This has never been Cameron Anthony's dream, so he has to fight back!

After playing 8 minutes in the first quarter, Anthony scored only 3 points on 1 of 5 shots and was replaced by head coach Mike D'Anthony, Anthony quickly got the chance to play in the second quarter. After only one minute of the second quarter, Anthony replaced the substitute player and stepped onto the court.

Because the Knicks' substitutes were unable to gain a point advantage when they were substituting the Cavaliers, composed of Antoine Jamison, Rasu Butler and Ramon Sessions.

As the scoring champion tied with Wu Dawei this season, Jamison averaged 18 points per game and nearly 19 points. Even though he was already old, his strength was still unquestionable! After joining the Cavaliers, Rasu Butler averaged 9 points and 5 rebounds per game.

Not to mention Ramon Sessions, who was replaced by Billups from the Cavaliers lineup just now. Although Sessions' record of the Cavaliers was not good at all during his time, for him, his personal experience still allowed him to perform easily as a substitute point guard!

Currently, he averages 11 points and 7 assists per game. As the point guard in the substitute lineup, he is completely up to the standard! A most qualified substitute point guard!

Of course, as long as Chauncey Billups can integrate into the team, their strength will jump to a higher level. This is undoubtedly true.

Whether a team is strong or not depends on their lineup. The role played by substitutes in the rotation period can definitely affect the outcome of the game.

Take the Chicago Bulls and Miami Heat, which currently rank first in the East and second in the East, as for the lineup, not to mention that the Bulls and No team in the league can compete with them, but although the Heat's record is top in the league, there are still two or three teams ahead of him.

The reason is very simple, that is, the substitutes of these teams are as powerful as those of them. The Heat, with gorgeous lineups, do not have more funds to make up for their substitutes. Usually, they let a superstar play with a substitute to make up for the weak situation in the rotation stage.

The New York Knicks also have the same problems as the Heat, but they have one superstar missing from the Heat, making them look even more stretched.

So, usually, Cameron Anthony and Amare Stoudemire play time generally does not have less than 40 minutes.

When Anthony came on the court, the score was 24:32. The Cavaliers, who played at home, had already led by 8 points. The Knicks are now counting on Anthony. Although his performance in the first quarter was very bad, Wu Dawei was not included in the Cavaliers' lineup.

"Come on! Cameron!"

Seeing Anthony on the court, Spike Lee stood up and waved his fists loudly, shouting at the court, cheering the Knicks players. He regretted coming to the Speed ​​Loan Center to watch the game tonight, because seeing this ball makes the big director feel frustrated!

Although Anthony played in the first quarter, he was extremely bad. However, the New Yorker can only temporarily be punished for the time being. Because although Stoudemire was in good condition, he had played for 11 minutes in the first quarter, so it is time to give him more rest time.

Anthony also knew very well that the team needed himself now, and the anger he received from Wu Dawei in the first quarter also needed an outlet for release.

Facing Rasu Butler's defense is undoubtedly a good opportunity for Anthony. Although Rasu Butler can still contribute great efficiency on the offensive end, he is much bigger than Anthony after all, and the gap in physical fitness is no longer at the same level.

Even when he was young, Rasu Butler's physical fitness had never reached a class like Anthony, let alone he is old now.

Of course, Anthony can see this. No matter how much he suffered in front of Wu Dawei, he is still a superstar in the league no matter what. A player who just participated in the All-Star Game, can't such a player's strength be ignored at will, even if he played so badly in the first quarter!

After Anthony took the field, he successfully used his body to play Butler behind his back in the inside. In almost two minutes, the Knicks relied on Anthony to score eight points in a row on the offensive end and chased the gap in one fell swoop!

32:34, during the period, the Cavaliers only relied on Antoine Jamison's shot and scored two points.

Such a situation forced the Cavaliers coach Byron Scott to request a timeout, he needed to re-arrange the tactics on the field, and at the same time, he also needed to make some adjustments to the personnel.

In the New Yorker's offensive high chaos just now, Anthony's 8 points were the core. This made such a person who only scored two points in the first quarter score 8 points in two minutes, which was something that Scott thought would be intolerable!

He angrily scolded the players who had just played, and then he looked directly at Wu Dawei and said to him: "Great! You replace Butler!"

Not only Wu Dawei, but no one in the team was surprised. As the strongest player in the team and even in the league, Wu Dawei was extremely successful in defense tonight. In the first quarter, Anthony made only 1 of 5 shots, which is the best proof!

Even veteran Rasu Butler, who had no choice but to do anything to Anthony before, had no complaints about such an adjustment. Wu Dawei's defensive strength is already recognized as extremely outstanding.

As for Wu Dawei himself, of course, he was eager to try it out. Just as he sat off the court and saw Anthony's abnormal state in a completely opposite state to the first quarter, Wu Dawei was a little surprised to be honest.

Because he thought that his defense against Anthony in the first quarter had already made him feel frustrated and disappointed. Wu Dawei thought that Anthony should be just like this in this game, but he didn't expect that this superstar's rebound was so fast!

It's nothing to Wu Dawei to defend Anthony with 1 of 5 shots. If he can defend Anthony, who is in good shape, is it refreshing!

It’s like you have defeated your opponent physically and mentally, and you will feel an indescribable sense of pride!

During the timeout, head coach Byron Scott re-arranged the tactics, but his only requirement for Wu Dawei was to defend Cameron Anthony as in the first quarter!

After the timeout, the game will naturally start over. The Knicks naturally predicted Wu Dawei's return to the court. After all, Wu Dawei only played for 8 minutes in the first quarter, and the rest time was enough for him.

Wu Dawei's re-appearance instantly caused a fanatical cheer in the Quick Loan Center. Previously, Cleveland fans were helpless by Anthony's series of offenses. At this time, after seeing Wu Dawei, who had guarded Anthony to death in the first quarter, the fans naturally hoped that Wu Dawei would have another refreshing defensive performance!

Cameron Anthony completely lost his desire for attack!

However, this idea only exists in the hearts of Cleveland fans. After seeing Wu Dawei on the court, the Knicks' loyal Spike Lee, who sat on the sidelines for a whole quarter, finally got the opportunity to shout at Wu Dawei.

Of course he would not miss such an opportunity!

"Hey, Wu! What are you thinking about coming up at this time? Was Cameron beaten up? You gauze!"

Spike Li's words were mixed with swear words, but Wu Dawei had long been used to it. He looked at Spike Li as if he was looking at a real big gauze!

"Spike, you are not only a big gauze! You are also an old guy with amnesia!"
Chapter completed!
