At the end of the half, the Cavaliers still controlled the leading situation on the court. Although the Knicks performed well in recent times, most of them rely on the individual singles of the two superstars in the team. Tonight, when Anthony encountered the defensive problems of his old rival Wu Dawei on the outside, Stoudemire's attack alone obviously could not support the entire Knicks.

48:55, the Cavaliers entered the halftime break with a 7-point lead. Such a score lead is enough to make the Cavaliers players much easier than the New Yorkers who played away in the second half.

While having a psychological advantage, there are more than 20,000 fans behind the scenes of cheering, which will make the game simple. Although Spike Lee also came to the Speed ​​Loan Center tonight, his power is almost in front of Cleveland fans in the entire Speed ​​Loan Center, and it is almost as small as it is!

During the halftime break, Wu Dawei had scored 12 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. His performance continued to be all-around in recent times. Although Chauncey Billups joined hands with him in this game, this did not compress Wu Dawei's energy on the offensive end.

Billups' data was 6 points, 4 assists and 2 rebounds. In the first half, Billups performed well, without any big mistakes or too impressive performances.

However, when he and Wu Dawei were on the court at the same time, the Cavaliers were still very stable on the court. The leading advantage was kept above 4 points when they were the smallest.

On the visiting Knicks, Cameron Anthony scored 18 points in the first half. The small outbreak at the beginning of the second quarter was the reason for his crazy data surge.

However, after 11 points in the first three minutes of the second quarter, Anthony's performance began to cool down slowly, especially after three minutes of the second quarter, Anthony only scored 4 points, which was very different from his previous three minutes of explosion.

In addition to Cameron Anthony who contributed 18 points on the offensive end, another star in the Knicks, power forward Amare Stoudemire scored 12 points in the first half. He doesn't have to face Wu Dawei in the inside, but the Cavaliers' inside line after the trade is obviously much stronger than before.

Chris Carman and Andre Valejo are much tougher than Valejo and Jamison before.

The scores of Stoudemire and Anthony are combined, which exceed half of the Knicks' score. The remaining 18 points are equally divided by the remaining ten players. In this way, the average score of the others in the first half is only a pitiful 1.8 points...

This has always been the weakness of giant teams. A lot of money is spent on the stars. Naturally, the quality of role players is often not as good as other teams. At this time, good internal potential and sharpened strength are needed.

Unfortunately, compared with the Boston Celtics, the Los Angeles Lakers, and even the Miami Heat today, the New Yorkers are completely incomparable!

This has led to the situation where the Knicks can only set tactics around the personal offense of the two superstars.

Although such a tactic is concise and clear, after all, although basketball is a team-based sport, there have been countless powerful individuals in the past, proving that singles are also effective attack methods. However, such assumptions are based on the strength of individuals in singles, and when Cameron Anthony faces Wu Dawei, it is difficult for him to fully display his 100% personal ability.

Cavaliers coach Byron Scott is naturally very satisfied with such a midfield situation. The significance of this game is not only between Wu Dawei and Cameron Anthony, but also between Amare Stoudemire, but more importantly, this is a seventh and eighth game in the East.

Since the Cavaliers' goal this season is no longer to compete for the first draft pick, but to target the playoffs, it is naturally hope that the higher the record, the better. The best way to defeat the teams ranked ahead of them.

Moreover, the Knicks are still opponents that the Cavaliers have defeated twice this season. Although they have created a sensational deal before and introduced another superstar, according to the situation tonight, the Cavaliers still seem to be sure to win.

After fifteen minutes of rest in the midfield, both sides returned to the court. The Knicks and their group didn't look good when they walked out of the player's passage, and Cameron Anthony and head coach Mike D'Anthony were both dark-faced.

There are rumors that they have a bad relationship, but it has never been confirmed.

In the second half, neither side made a adjustment to the lineup. Needless to say, the Knicks, Amare Stoudemire and Cameron Anthony, two superstars, are their core, and apart from that, the strength of the rest of their role players is almost the same.

As for the Cavaliers, head coach Scott has determined that the current lineup is the most suitable for the team.

The Knicks had a first offensive opportunity in the second half. When the referee blew the game again, Tony Douglas dribbled through halftime.

Since Cameron Anthony came to the Knicks, his ball possession rate and shots in each game have not declined. Instead, the original core Stoudemire's chances of holding the ball and shots have been affected to varying degrees.

This is the disadvantage of inside stars in the offensive control of the ball compared to outside stars.

Anthony obviously had no intention of passing the ball, and he did not intend to give up the right to the first attack in the second half to others. After Amare Stoudemire stuck in the inside for a while, he found that Anthony had no intention of passing the ball, so he consciously ran to the weak side to clear the space for Anthony's upcoming singles.

The first half scored 18 points and the highest in the game was obviously giving Cameron. Anthony a great improvement in self-confidence. Compared to his last time when he faced Wu Dawei, Anthony would not feel so powerless tonight at least when facing Wu Dawei.

Although Wu Dawei's defense created some difficulties for Anthony in the first half, so far, Wu Dawei's single defense against Anthony has only obtained one steal data, and Anthony's shooting percentage is not bad, making 7 of 14 shots even higher than Cameron. Anthony's average shooting percentage.

So when Anthony took the ball and singles, he became very determined. He first tentatively raised the basketball over his head, pretended to shoot, and then he frowned. Then he leaned against Wu Dawei and launched an attack on the inside!

This kind of static fake move is absolutely a pediatric for Wu Dawei. In comparison, the fake moves made suddenly during the breakthrough are still more threatening to Wu Dawei. After all, at that critical moment, sometimes, your mind may not react immediately.

Wu Dawei is not weak in terms of strength, but Anthony's impact is not very good for Wu Dawei. Anthony successfully rushed into the paint area, and the basket was close at hand. Such a scene reminded Spike Lee, who was sitting on the sidelines, about the first time the two of them had fought when Wu Dawei first appeared in the second quarter!

"e-on! Cameron! Blow that Chinese guy!"

That 2+1 is not only Spike. Li still remembers it vividly, but the fans of the audience are also vivid in their minds. Everyone was worried about Wu Dawei. After all, whether from the data or the status tonight, Anthony seems to be not a soft persimmon.

Anthony jumped up in the paint area. This time he launched an attack from the right side. Of course, Wu Dawei was on his left side. In this way, Anthony's safer attack environment was on his right hand.

He is a right-handed player. Anthony wanted to follow the scene in the second quarter. While he handed the ball to his right hand, he stretched out his left hand to try to split the big palm that Wu Dawei waved.

But this time, Wu Dawei reacted faster than the last time! He jumped up with all his strength, almost a little higher than Cameron Anthony who had gradually become a floor stream! His hands swung toward the ball on the other side of Anthony's hand!

Wu Dawei did not hesitate at all, and did not even care whether he violated Anthony's player cylinder that lies between him and the ball. He just tried his best to block the ball, and in the end, his hand pressed on Anthony's right hand!

"roll!"

A tiger roar was accompanied by Anthony's tragic scream, and the ball was pressed down from the air by Wu Dawei!

Suddenly, the cheers burst out from the audience as shocked as the whistling waves! Only Spike Lee yelled hysterically on the sidelines: "This is a fucking foul! You don't even yell!"

Also angry about this was the person involved, Cameron Anthony. When Billups picked up the ball that was covered by Wu Dawei from Anthony and launched an offensive in the frontcourt, Anthony was furious and approached the referee.

"Hey, that's a fucking foul! Didn't you see it!?"

The referee ignored Anthony's anger. He shook his head, turned a blind eye to Anthony's swear words, and then ran to the frontcourt.

In the frontcourt, the Cavaliers completed a fast break after an offense and defense conversion through the cooperation of Billups and Anthony Parker.

47:57, the advantage instantly became double digits.

Anthony was still standing in the backcourt at this time. He looked at the scene where the fans were raising their arms and shouting. There were many fans wearing Wu Dawei's No. 0 jerseys in the audience. They could see several at a glance without deliberately searching.

This scene suddenly made Anthony realize something. This is Cleveland, not Denver or New York, not his good friend LeBron. James's stadium, not his own.

But Wu Dawei's territory!

The crowds of fans, the core of cheering, and the referee's tolerance for him, all of this shows that Cleveland has a new leader!
Chapter completed!
