Although the Cleveland Cavaliers led the New York Knicks at the beginning in this game, the morale of the Knicks did not fall into a trough.
Knicks head coach D'Antoni quickly made adjustments to the lineup, with Smith taking over Fields and scoring the goal from the beginning.
At this time, he was full of confidence, especially in the opponent's team, there were two superstars at the peak. All of this made Smith, who had just returned from CBA, feel extremely excited.
Although the Cleveland Cavaliers are currently leading the New York Knicks 11:4 away game, Smith is not afraid. After Douglas dribbled through half the game, Smith ran forward excitedly and asked for the ball rights to him.
Although Cameron Anthony and Amarestoudemire were still on the court at this time, when Smith got the ball, the two of them were not in a hurry to take the ball from him.
After receiving the ball, Smith faced Anthony Parker's defense on the outside. Amid the cheers of New York fans, Smith rushed out of the three-point line!
Then under Anthony Parker's defense, he shot like this!
The ball came into the net!
With a swish, three-pointer hit!
"pretty!"
“Good job, jr!”
"Oh~ Nice guy, just keep throwing it like this! Stop these Clevelanders to death!"
In the stands of the fans on the side of the court, New York fans swept away their previous depression and tried their best to cheer for Smith's five points in succession!
11:7, after Smith came on the court, he had an immediate effect for the New York Knicks. His continuous score helped the home game but was in a passive situation at the beginning of the game, narrowing the gap and leaving only 4 points.
"Oh~ I'm pretty!"
Smith himself was also very excited. He watched himself score one after another and recovered the previous big gap for the team, and he was also a little energetic.
When Wu Dawei passed by him, Smith even began to say to him: "Hey, Chinese Wu!"
When Wu Dawei heard someone calling him, he subconsciously turned around and saw the person talking to him at a glance. It turned out to be Smith, a Knicks player who scored 5 points in a row within this minute.
Wu Dawei was curious about what he wanted to say. Smith, who had played in CBA before, said to him with a smile: "I am a superstar who is very popular among you Chinese! I think between us, you Chinese will like me even more!"
You are a superstar! Wu Dawei contempts Smith fiercely in his heart, but the expression on his face was indifferent, just curling his lips, not polite to his words: "Is that right?"
"Of course! When you return to China, you will find that people are talking about Smith!"
Wu Dawei no longer paid attention to this narcissist. Chauncey Billups had already dribbled the ball through halftime at this time, and the Cavaliers were about to start organizing the offense again. Smith's previous two consecutive scorings made the Cavaliers' advantage narrowed a lot.
Chaunci Billups passed the ball to Dwight Howard in the inside again, hoping to get Howard scored again in the inside. However, Dwight Howard immediately encountered double-teams from the Knicks.
Howard has been double-teamed recently and has great experience in dealing with this, so at the moment he was double-teamed, he immediately chose to pass the ball out. The ball was passed to Wu Dawei. Facing Cameron Anthony's somewhat careless defense, Wu Dawei completed a jump shot directly near the middle distance!
The ball also came into the net, and the Cleveland Cavaliers have never missed the shooting so far!
13:7, the score difference was once again widened to 6 points.
The New York fans in the stadium were undoubtedly quite disappointed by this. Wu Dawei's consecutive scores at the opening made New York fans' disgust for him rise to another level.
Boos were everywhere in the stadium because Wu Dawei once again hindered the Knicks' pursuit.
"You Americans like me very much, too!"
Wu Dawei said to him when he ran past Smith.
This girl is really shameless! She was obviously booing, but she insisted that she liked him!
Smith was speechless about Wu Dawei's words, but before he could say anything to Wu Dawei, Wu Dawei ran back towards the Cavaliers' half.
The gap was once again widened to 6 points, but the New York Knicks once again had the ball. They passed the half in a fierce manner. Douglas wandered around outside the three-point line and found that there was no good position. At this time, Smith, who had scored 5 points in a row before, ran to the three-point line again and reached out to ask for the ball.
Without hesitation, Douglas passed the ball to the New York fans in Smith Madison Garden Square, and cheered again!
"Come on, jr! Let this group of ungrateful Clevelanders know whose territory it is!"
Even Spike Lee, who had been silent before, became active and excited at this time. Obviously, it was because Smith had scored 5 points in a row as soon as he came on the court, which gave them confidence again.
Spike Lee has had enough of Wu Dawei and his Cleveland Cavaliers torture the Knicks to death. At this time, if there is a slight chance, he will hoarsely cheer for the Knicks.
Smith took the ball outside the three-point line, but he did not choose to pass the ball. At this time, even Cameron Anthony did not make a layup and asked for the ball. The Knicks players opened up space for him to play singles, and Anthony Parker carefully defended in front of Smith.
But this still couldn't stop Smith from using lightning speed to launch an attack on his defense!
His breakthrough was extremely fast, and it felt unstoppable for a moment. At least for Anthony Parker, who was responsible for defending him, he was blinded by Smith for a moment.
Smith quickly broke through Anthony Parker's defense line, and the unstoppable situation made the New York fans in the stadium feel even more excited, because in the blink of an eye, Smith had already rushed into the paint area with the ball!
Then, as everyone shouted, Smith jumped up! Before that, the paint area had been completely cleared, and at this time, Smith's ball seemed to be imperative!
Even Smith himself thought so. When he soared over the paint area, he didn't think there was anything else that could stop his score!
However, at this moment, when Smith was about to jump into the basket, he suddenly felt a dark cloud above his head!
What's going on!?
Smith immediately felt a bad feeling. When he looked up, he found a huge figure above his head. Then, he was determined to pick blue, but was mercilessly blocked by the visitor!
Wu Dawei, wearing the No. 0 Cleveland Cavaliers away jersey, looked so dazzling in the eyes of the New Yorkers at this time. He blocked the New York Knicks' score that was bound to be won. After the ball was blocked, he returned to the hands of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The moment Dwight Howard rushed in, he got the ball blocked by Wu Dawei. Then he directly found Chauncey Billups. After the latter got the ball, the entire Cleveland Cavaliers began to rush towards the frontcourt!
The rapid pace of offense and defense conversion has always been a characteristic of the Cleveland Cavaliers. At this time, they ran towards the frontcourt like crazy, and the New York Knicks players were suddenly left behind.
Then, in the depressed eyes of New York fans, the scene they least want to happen happened. The ball was sent into the basket by the Cleveland Cavaliers relying on a fast defensive counterattack!
Anthony Parker, who was dumped by Smith before, was very active. He rushed to the front and then received a pass from Billups to hit a one-handed dunk in the frontcourt!
In recent times, Danny Green's rise has seriously affected Parker's position in the team, and during this period, he was beaten into a sieve by Smith on the defensive end. Parker naturally has to work harder than before to maintain his current position in the team. This is called a sense of crisis.
15:7, the gap that Smith narrowed for the Knicks before was resolved by the Cavaliers' two consecutive scorings. The gap was once again widened, but fortunately, even so, the Knicks would not give up the game so easily.
Douglas once again took the baseline serve from his teammates, then after he dribbled the ball through half, he made a three-pointer in the frontcourt that caught Billups off guard.
15:10, a timely rainy goal!
The New York fans who came to the scene improved a little, but the New York Knicks were still behind, and the ball rights were back in the hands of the Cleveland Cavaliers. They still need to continue to work hard.
However, when the Cavaliers started organizing offense in the frontcourt again, the ball in their hands was stolen by Smith, who had been blocked by Wu Dawei before!
Suddenly, the situation on the court was very different again! Smith quickly began to advance towards the frontcourt after getting the ball, but fortunately the Cleveland Cavaliers returned to defense very quickly.
Wu Dawei was the fastest person to return to defense. His return to defense curbed Smith's fast attack. The transition from fast attack to positional battle gave the Cavaliers a chance to breathe.
Wu Dawei is defending outside the three-point line, and Smith is in front of him. Faced with Wu Dawei's defense, Smith obviously wants to do one by one. (To be continued.
