53. Overtake
The second quarter was when the Cavaliers overtook the score. The strength of the Cavaliers' substitute lineup tonight was much beyond the expectations of Knicks coach D'Antoni, and it also disrupted his personnel dispatch and deployment.
Because the Cavaliers' substitute lineup caught up with the score in two minutes at the beginning of the second quarter and overtook the score in the third minute, D'Antoni had no choice but to replace the main force with some first.
But Raymond Field was not in good shape tonight, but not only did not help the team, but instead, after being intercepted by Ramon Sessions, the team became more passive.
Therefore, in this way, D'Antoni had to send all the main lineup back to the stadium. Three minutes after the Knicks' main players came on the court, the main players of the Cavaliers who had been recuperating for almost half of the quarter came late.
Wu Dawei was the only substitute player among the ten people on the court at this time, but his performance in the first quarter made the Knicks players, especially Wilson Chandler, dare not underestimate him anymore.
The situation at this time has changed drastically from the first quarter. At 40:37, the leader became the Cleveland man who played away. This situation made the big director Spike Lee, who was sitting on the sidelines, particularly unhappy.
He doesn't want to witness a game that wins first and then loses, and the Knicks have not started well this season. At this time, they only ranked tenth in the East with 2 wins and 4 losses, and now the eighth in the East is exactly the 4 wins and 4 losses.
If you can win this game, one will rise and fall, and the Knicks will go further.
But the ball is in the hands of the Clevelanders, so Spike Lee had to shout "DEFENSE" with the fans on the scene, hoping that the Cavaliers could miss offense and give the Knicks a chance to catch up.
But soon a mid-range hit made the sound of Madison Square Garden's sound of cheering the roof tiles disappear.
After halftime, Williams handed the ball to Anthony Parker who was at the bottom line. Wu Dawei actively ran to the sideline to make a pick-and-roll for Parker. He successfully blocked the Knicks player who was responsible for defending Parker, so Wilson Chandler could only go up and snatch up and delay Parker's advance.
In this way, Wu Dawei was inadvertently exposed at the bottom line like a bird in jeans without zippers.
Parker hurriedly passed the ball, and Wu Dawei used a mid-range return to the former's assist, while also expanding the team's lead.
42:37.
This ball made Spike Li on the sidelines so angry that he glared at him, but for no reason Wu Dawei felt secretly happy. When he ran past Spike Li, Wu Dawei also deliberately showed his right palm that had just completed the scoring, and in return he shouted: "You SB."
But soon the SB that Spike Lee mentioned became Wilson Chandler, because the latter was directly intercepted for the second time when facing Wu Dawei with the ball! After getting the ball, Wu Dawei hurriedly advanced to the frontcourt, and then expanded the gap with a three-step dunk after a dunk.
"You idiot, how could you let that SB steal it??" Well, the SB that Spike Lee mentioned was actually Wu Dawei...
However, this SB became the most troublesome problem for the home team at this time, because Wu Dawei not only defends alone on the defensive end, but also helps him defend.
After halftime, Raymond Field passed the basketball to Amare Stoudemier at the 45-degree angle on the left. Stoudemier held the ball at the high position and faced Valaijo's defensive posture. At this time, the rest of the Knicks players hurried to the weak side to open up space for Stoudemier. Only Wilson Chandler was ambushed at the strong side.
Stoudemire's left foot was the axis. He first pretended to shake it a few times, then made a gesture to hold the ball in his right hand and rushed towards the inside line. When he rushed into the paint area, he suddenly turned left and shook the Valaijo, who could not turn around in time!
At this time, Stoudemire faced Valejo's back, and he could shoot with just a light jump. But the little domineering reputation was so good that he wanted to use a wonderful dunk to increase morale.
So, after turning around, Stoudemire did not jump immediately, but leaned against Valaijo, rushed in, and then he soared into the air like a spring!
Holding the ball in his right hand, Stoudemire was about to make a shocking dunk in the Cavaliers' paint area. Unfortunately, the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind. Just as he was about to dunk the basketball into the basket, a big hand stretched out from the rear of the left slapped the left side of the basketball.
With a bang, the basketball flew out on the basket and flew outward!
Antoine Jamison took the ball at the free throw line and turned into a counterattack from the Cavaliers!
Williams scored in the Knicks' halftime with a wonderful performance of three players, but the live commentary seat at Madison Garden Plaza was all about Wu Dawei.
"Did you find out that Wu Dawei's blocks, steals and assisted defenses are just right every time, and his defense is never aggressive. People say that nine gambles with ten steals, and nine times were fooled, but Wu Dawei's blocks and every steal is judged very accurately. It's like he can know in advance whether the attacker's attack this time is a real or fake shot, whether it is a left hand or a right hand."
As the villain when he first appeared, Kenny Smith couldn't help but be amazed at Wu Dawei's performance on the defensive end.
"Kenny, does it take more than 40 chapters to make instructions from your reaction nerve?" Barkley laughed, looking like I had said he would be a genius, "That's why I highly respect this young man's defense. His performance on the defensive end is definitely unprecedented! Oh, SHIT!"
The reason why Barkley suddenly swears in the middle of his speech was because he saw Wu Dawei using his back-to-body skills to start singles against Wilson Chandler on the offensive end.
The posture of suddenly squirting butt really has no beauty at all. It looks like... Well, you can't describe it except the word "Pig Gong and Cabbage"...
With a voice of praise for Wu Dawei's defense and complaining about his back-to-body skills, the twelve minutes of the second quarter ended soon.
The Cavaliers finally overtook the game in this quarter, 57:50, and they already led their opponents by 7 points away. This would make them much easier in the second half, and at this time Wu Dawei had scored 8 points, 5 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block.
