206. Choppy

The 2013 Houston All-Star Game finally came to an end perfectly at the Toyota Center on February 18. The Eastern All-Star Team lost this year's All-Star Game in Houston. In the end, the Western All-Star Team defeated the Eastern All-Star Team 143:138.

After two All-Star Games, they finally won the All-Star Game again. The Los Angeles Clippers' super point guard Chris Paul won the All-Star Game MVP trophy for the first time in his career.

Wu Dawei did not go to Houston to experience the warm atmosphere of this All-Star Game, but he still watched the game on TV. Of course, he also saw Dwight Howard and Kyrie Irving's performance in this All-Star Game.

Dwight Howard, who had won an All-Star Game in MVP last year, no longer cared about this game as before; but the young point guard of the Cleveland Cavaliers Kyrie Irving is not like this.

After all, this is just Kyrie Irving's first All-Star Game in his career, and he is also the starting point guard of the Eastern Conference team. However, Kyrie Irving's chances of playing in this All-Star Game are not too many.

The coach of the Eastern Conference team in this All-Star Game is Mike Woodson, the head coach of the New York Knicks. Obviously, he is more inclined to use point guards who have been famous for many years than the young Kyrie Irving.

Although Kyrie Irving is the starting point guard of the Eastern Conference team in this All-Star Game, he actually only played 15 minutes in this game, the fewest of the five starters.

In such a short time, Kyrie Irving was not letting go because he had some restraints at the beginning. So he only got 2 points and 1 assist in the end. Most of the time, he was taking on the role of dribbling through half the game and handing the ball to his teammates...

Such a role is like a soy sauce, so Kyrie Irving feels so depressed. He originally wanted to show off his first All-Star Game in his career. But he didn't expect that the actual situation was really different from what he had imagined!

This gap is really a bit too big, because Kyrie Irving feels that in this game, he is just a spectator in the basketball hall...

He felt that he was no different from the fans on the sidelines. In this All-Star Game, what Kyrie Irving did the most was to applaud and applaud his teammates' wonderful performances on the sidelines.

What made him even more depressed was that LeBron James, Cameron Anthony and others, who were very unfamiliar with the Cleveland Cavaliers, dominated most of the ball in this game. So whenever these people scored, Kyrie Irving had to applaud and cheer for them against their will.

This feeling is very bad. In the playoffs last season, Cleveland had a great hatred between the Cavaliers and the Heat where these people were, and the Knicks. Now, I still have to cheer for the wonderful performances of these opponents. Isn’t this a feeling strange?

As the starting center player of this Eastern Conference All-Star team, Dwight Howard is not much different from Kyrie Irving's fate. Perhaps it is because Mike Woodson is also unhappy with the Cleveland Cavaliers players, so Dwight Howard only played for 20 minutes in this game.

During these 20 minutes, Dwight Howard played much happier than Kyrie Irving. After all, he has been in the All-Star Game for several years. He no longer feels new to everything here, so naturally, he will no longer pay attention to this game as much as he was when he was young.

In the 20 minutes of playing, Dwight Howard only scored 4 points and 8 rebounds.

His performance was also not very good. However, Dwight Howard seemed much happier than Kyrie Irving... After the two of them ended their All-Star Tour this year, they also took the same plane back to Cleveland.

After all, when Houston's All-Star Game ended, the league will almost kick off the second half of the season after nearly a week of rest.

After the second half of the season begins, each team will naturally enter the final sprint time. The remaining games of each team will not be too many in the second half of the season, so each game will become a battle for everyone to fight.

So after the All-Star Game, naturally, all teams will start to lose all their thoughts in the next game.

And this is naturally even more true for the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are the defending champions of the league. Although they are now ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference, they are actually not able to sit firmly in this position. The record of 23 wins and 27 losses is not enough to ensure that they will definitely enter the playoffs in the next game.

Moreover, they were the league's championship last season, and now such a record of 23 wins and 27 losses is a bit too chilling at this time. So no matter what it is for, the Cleveland Cavaliers will definitely have to strive to sprint upstream in the second half of this season.

No matter how difficult and critical the situation will be, the Cleveland Cavaliers will never continue to go downstream. This is the face of the Cleveland Cavaliers as a defending champion team. Although face is usually worthless by people, how many people can ignore it!?

Especially the Cleveland Cavaliers, who just won the first O'Brien Cup in team history last season, just held a grand parade 7 months ago. Will they be eliminated in April this year?

For the Cleveland Cavaliers, they have obviously reached a point where they have no way out. Not only are the doubts about them from the outside world getting louder and louder, but the pressure above their heads is also getting louder and louder.

Especially the team's management, the team's boss Daniel Gilbert spent a lot of money not to see the team's current half-dead situation. Although he also understands that there are injuries in this, no team that wants to compete for the championship can always make excuses again and again.

Even the injury of Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard caused the Cleveland Cavaliers to perform so badly at this time. But the team shouldn't have played until now, but not even half the winning rate. And this is because Dwight Howard has already returned for a month.

So this year's All-Star Carnival was not just Kyrie Irving, who did not have a complete "wish" in the All-Star Game, and team boss Daniel Gilbert, who also did not have a good life. The team's immediate boss was so depressed. As his subordinate, team general manager Dan Ferry and team head coach Byron Scott, of course, life was difficult.

The team's general manager Dan Ferry is a little bit better. After all, he has personally built a championship-level team in the two years he has been with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Such a result is enough to win the most trust of the team's boss Daniel Gilbert.

The team's head coach Byron Scott's life is relatively sad. He might have been resigned by the team last year. At that time, the call for Byron Scott to be dismissed was so high that it was deeply engraved at this time. If Wu Dawei had not come forward to support Byron Scott, then the position of head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers would have changed hands and replaced.

However, Wu Dawei's support did not solve Byron Scott's urgent need at this time. The team's performance of 23 wins and 27 losses in the first half of the season made him feel sad all day long.

He also had a very unhappy life in this entire All-Star Carnival, but fortunately the only thing that made Byron Scott feel a little relieved is that after the All-Star Game, it means that the second half of the league will be kicked off again, and at the same time, it means that Wu Dawei is about to make a comeback!

Byron Scott, like Cleveland fans, believes that it is not difficult to regroup as long as Wu Dawei returns!

After that magical 2012, all Cleveland fans' confidence in Wu Dawei was extremely strong! Cleveland fans believe that as long as Wu Dawei is here, the Cleveland Cavaliers will not become soft persimmons that can be kneaded!

Although the team played very badly in the first half of the season. It can even be said to be a role that everyone bullies, Cleveland fans believe that as long as Wu Dawei returns, such a situation will no longer exist!

Byron Scott is also very sure about this. The core of all his current tactics is centered around Wu Dawei. Wu Dawei does have such ability to do everything he requires. So Byron Scott believes that as long as Wu Dawei returns to the basketball court, it will be the time for the Cleveland Cavaliers to rise again!

Those who know this are not only the fans of the Cleveland Cavaliers, the team's head coach Byron Scott, and the people inside the team; the outside media are also very clear about this, so as Wu Dawei's comeback gets closer, more and more media are starting to run towards Cleveland.

This small town was very lively for a while, and there were countless reporters waiting at the entrance of the Cleveland Cavaliers training hall every day. Too many people hope to get first-hand information about Wu Dawei's comeback as soon as possible. So every day, on the way to the training hall where Wu Dawei lives, media workers and reporters holding cameras or recorders can be seen almost anytime and anywhere.

Of course, as a player who is about to come back, Wu Dawei must be the busiest person in these days. Because he not only needs to take into account his own training and carefully observe his physical condition and changes. At the same time, after the training of each day, he also has to be bombarded by countless media.

This is an extremely hard job, but it also means how high Wu Dawei's popularity is. From this point, it can be seen that Cameron Anthony lost to Wu Dawei, who has not played in the All-Star voting, which is actually not unfair at all.

Of course, Wu Dawei's comeback is a major event in the second half of the league's season, so the media's interviews are naturally not just Wu Dawei himself. The Cleveland Cavaliers have been interviewed all over the Cleveland Cavaliers, from coaches, bosses, managers, and even staff, from players, and coaches. At the same time, many stars in the league are also the targets of the media's interviews, especially those who have had a relationship with Wu Dawei, and are the targets of the media's most enthusiastic interviews.

Everyone wants to hear from these Wu Dawei's opponents what they think about Wu Dawei's comeback.

The few people who are most "sung" by the media are naturally the league's current top small forwards. LeBron James of the Miami Heat are Wu Dawei's mortal enemy in the past two seasons. LeBron James did not say much when facing the media's interviews, but just said a few official words, which were nothing more than blessings such as Wu Dawei.

In addition to LeBron James, Cameron Anthony, who replaced Wu Dawei as the starting striker of the Eastern Conference in this All-Star Game, is also the target of media's questioning. Compared with LeBron James, Cameron Anthony performed more directly: "Wu Dawei's comeback is a good thing for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Their current situation is in jeopardy and it is time to need help; but for the New York Knicks and me, this will not have much impact, and our goal is still the first in the league!"

In addition to these two top small forwards in the Eastern Conference, Kevin Durant, the leader of the Western Conference, is also the target of media's questioning.

This small forward who played against Wu Dawei repeatedly in the finals last season did not say too much about controversy. However, in most people's eyes, although these three people were extremely calm in the interview, most people believe that their hearts were already turbulent at this time!
