275. End the game

Wu Dawei got the opportunity to get extra punishment, so he naturally would not waste such an opportunity.

Standing on the free throw line, amid the cheers of Cleveland fans throughout the game, raised their hand, shot the ball, and hit it.

A series of steps were orderly and steady. Wu Dawei successfully threw the ball into the basket, and also helped the Cavaliers turn the score to 49:63.

The difference between points has become 14 points, although it is still not enough to make the New Yorker discouraged and give up the game, but it is enough to make Cleveland fans confident about the prospects for tonight's game!

Before this game, people thought it would be a fierce competition between the tip of the head against the wheat. Although it did not do as people thought in the first quarter, in the second quarter, with the outbreak of Cameron Anthony, the suspense was brought back.

But the New Yorkers' expectations for the second half were almost in less than two minutes, and the news disappeared like the Titanic sinking into the sea.

Wu Dawei exerted force on both offense and defense at the beginning of the second half, and doubled the gap between the two sides, which was originally only 7 points.

This situation forced Knicks head coach Mike D'Anthony to request a timeout. Even though less than two minutes passed in the third quarter, the Cavaliers were on the court with signs of a wave of defeating the Knicks, which forced D'Anthony to be careful.

But for the current situation, D'Antoni cannot be helpless. The bad relationship with Anthony made it difficult for him to convince the proud superstar. He could only repeat a remark to the depressed Knicks players during the timeout: "Start more attacks on the inside. Hand the ball more to the inside! Play more and cooperate, don't be alone. Pay attention to the Clevelanders' counterattack..."

In addition to reminding the players of a few key points, McDanthony also made adjustments to the lineup.

The steady veteran Anthony Carter replaced the young Tony Douglas. Although Douglas did not perform any dereliction of duty before, the current disadvantage still requires more experienced old point guards to grasp the situation on the court.

No matter how outstanding Douglas' personal ability is, he is far from being as stable as an old point guard, and he controls the rhythm of the court.

By 14 points behind, the team needs not only the impact on the basket, but also the entire rhythm of the game. If you want to overtake the opponent who almost defeated you before, the best way is to bring them into the rhythm you are used to and familiar with.

This way, it will be easier to defeat them.

After the timeout, in addition to the Knicks' ring-out of Tony Douglas in the point guard and replaced Anthony Carter, McDanthony also circled the original Hilton Williams in the fourth position, and replaced the Frenchman Ronnie Turiav, who was far inferior to the former Sheldon Williams, but full of energy.

On the Cavaliers, as the leader, the Cavaliers' head coach Byron Scott seemed very calm. He did not make any adjustments to the team's lineup because he is very confident in the current team's lineup.

During the timeout, he even told his players to wait a while to return to the court and end the game directly. Scott told Wu Dawei that it was not only Wu Dawei who was tired of Spike and Lee, but in fact he was also very annoyed by Spike and Lee. Lee yelled like a madman on the sidelines!

This made the players laugh, and everyone had just fully experienced Spike Lee's loud voice and his hysterical appearance when he was crazy.

After the suspension, both sides returned to the court. However, it can be seen that the Cavaliers, who are playing at home, are more morale, because they not only have the support of more than 20,000 Cleveland fans of the Speed ​​Loan Center, but also have a huge lead of 14 points in the score.

Even after the suspension, the ball is in the hands of the New Yorkers.

After receiving the serve in the backcourt, Anthony Carter passed half of the game, and the person responsible for defending him was Chauncey Billups. These two people can also be considered old friends. At least when they were with the Denver Nuggets, Anthony Carter, as an old minister of Denver, has always been a substitute for Chauncey Billups.

At this time, each of them had different battle robes for their main players, but the gap in strength between the two sides was still the same as when they were in the Nuggets.

After halftime, Anthony Carter handed the ball to the inside. Stoudemire forced his opponent to play against Brazilian Andre Valejo. Although he used his outstanding personal skills to pass Valejo's defense, the subsequent Chris Carman's backup defense made Stoudemire feel a little uncomfortable.

He forced Kaman's weight of more than 250 pounds, which resulted in a shot that missed and the rebound was snatched by Wu Dawei, who rushed into the inside. Although Turiav is an active player, countless surgeries have made him far less threatening in the inside.

After Wu Dawei grabbed the backcourt rebound, the Cavaliers launched an attack in an instant. The rhythm of the offense and defense conversion of all players was extremely fast. In fact, this is also the game method that the Cavaliers rely on most to survive this season. Due to Wu Dawei's strong personal ability on the defensive end and head coach Scott's unusual emphasis on defense this season, Cavaliers players have developed such a habit.

At the beginning of the season, due to the lack of attack points, the defensive counterattacks he trained have been continued to this day. Even though Wu Dawei, Jamison, Billups and even Kaman have become the offensive strengths of the Cavaliers, this advantage has never been activated by the Cavaliers.

Although the lineup is changing, head coach Scott does not seem to intend to change such a style of play.

After all, Wu Dawei's personal offensive ability still needs to be strengthened, and such a defensive counterattack can cover up Wu Dawei's offensive end to the greatest extent and make use of his strengths.

After Wu Dawei ran a few steps towards the front court, he threw the ball forward. Anthony Parker received the ball and then faced Bill Walker who was returning to defense, Parker chose to go strong.

But the ball also slid out of the basket like Stoudemire's previous shot. The difference is that, fortunately, Wu Dawei did not give up the pace of running forward after passing the ball. He grabbed the ball that was missed by Parker at the basket and then scored a tip-in!

49:65, the score difference continues to be widened. It has become 16 points. Undoubtedly, the game is moving towards an increasingly desperate situation for the New Yorkers.

The die-hard fan of the New York Knicks who followed the New York Knicks to the Speed ​​Loan Center tonight, the great director Spike Lee, was sitting on the sideline seat he bought for a lot of money and said nothing.

Obviously, Spike Lee, an old fan who has watched the ball for decades, even understood better than the players on the court. The situation on the court at this moment is so unfavorable for the New York Knicks who are playing away!

Whether it is the fans' booing, the referee's yelling, or the comparison of the state between the two sides, there is no point in the Knicks being at the upper hand.

It is a dream to win this way.

Faced with such a backward score difference, the Knicks are still contributing the ball. Spike Lee even wanted to leave the field early. If it weren't for the sidelines' camera taking care of him too much, Spike Lee would have left this sad place without looking back...

When the Cavaliers expanded the score difference to 16 points, the Knicks once again lost the ball in the frontcourt. The Cavaliers once again turned defense to offense, and instantly expanded the score difference to 18 points.

It was still Wu Dawei's score. Although at the end of the first half, Wu Dawei had a certain gap with Anthony in terms of scores, at this moment, such a gap had become insignificant when Wu Dawei continued to perform well on both offense and defense.

17 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 blocks, 1 steal.

Such data appeared just at the beginning of the third quarter. It seems that this is about to be another all-round night for Wu Dawei, but the Cleveland Cavaliers fans are no longer as fussed as before, because in recent times, Wu Dawei has performed such performances and data many times.

49:67, but the 18-point gap is not the biggest difference in this game. Although Cameron Anthony, facing Wu Dawei's defense, suddenly shot a cold arrow from a step beyond the three-point line in the subsequent attack, and scored a three-pointer for the Knicks, the Cavaliers returned the color in the subsequent attack.

The Cavaliers completely had the advantage on the court in the second half. They played proactively not just on the offensive end, but also performed very well on the defensive end.

Although Anthony has scored 24 points after three quarters, the Knicks are 20 points behind the Cavaliers after three quarters!

Wu Dawei was replaced by head coach Byron Scott with 2 minutes left in the third quarter. At this moment, Wu Dawei's data has become 21 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals.

This is just the data Wu Dawei used three quarters to play, but it is also the final data of his entire game. Because in the entire fourth quarter, Wu Dawei never played again, even for a second.

Because after Wu Dawei finished the game, there was no suspense.

The Knicks, who had been excited for the whole first half, did not make any sound at this time. When Wu Dawei ended in the third quarter, he accepted the cheers of all the fans. Spike Li sat in the chair with a silent look on his face, praying that the Knicks could recover the 20-point gap.

But obviously, the Cavaliers substitute lineup composed of Antoine Jamison, Ramon Sessions and Rasu Butler will never give the Knicks any chance.
