271. Luck
After returning to Cleveland, the team's head coach Byron Scott disbanded the team. Although he was very dissatisfied with the team's performance in the away game against the New Jersey Nets, he still got a good result in the end, which made him very pleased.
Moreover, this four-game winning streak has temporarily alleviated the pressure the Cleveland Cavaliers are facing now. As the season comes to the second half of the season, the challenges for the Cleveland Cavaliers will only become increasingly greater.
If they can't get as many victories as possible in the second half of the season, the situation is absolutely precarious for the Cleveland Cavaliers!
So at this time, the three consecutive victories since the start of the second half of the season were the momentum that the Cleveland Cavaliers are facing a lot less pressure.
Although the overall record of 26 wins and 27 losses is still not half the winning rate, they are approaching the New Jersey Nets, which are currently ranked ahead of them at the speed of sound since Wu Dawei's comeback.
The difference between the opponent's two wins was only made by the Cleveland Cavaliers clearly see their hope of being the sixth place in the East.
After returning to Cleveland, the Cavaliers' current situation is improving rapidly, because in the next two games, they will be at home to welcome their opponents!
For the Cleveland Cavaliers, it is of course the best thing to do at home. Without the fatigue of travel, it will make them energetic at work!
This is especially true for the Cleveland Cavaliers players, especially Wu Dawei, the most important player in the team, who has just made a comeback. Of course, Byron Scott does not want him to have too much fatigue outside the game.
And the journey is one of these!
And now, after returning to Cleveland, the Cleveland Cavaliers will face their opponents in the next two games. This is the best news for them.
And more importantly, in the next two games, the opponents the Cleveland Cavaliers are not outstanding. The Toronto Raptors and Charlotte Bobcats, whom they had just defeated, will become the opponents of the Cleveland Cavaliers in the next two games!
It is also because the Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the New Jersey Nets. The strength of the next two opponents is so unbearable. So one day after the Cleveland Cavaliers and the New Jersey Nets ended, not only the Cleveland media were fighting back against the "arrogant" Deron Williams before the game. At the same time, the New Jersey media were also very unfavorable about their Nets' prospects for the "Sixth Place in the Eastern Conference" with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Because the Cleveland Cavaliers have all the advantages in the record of the match this season, the Cleveland only needs to be able to tie the New Jersey Nets with a record of 28 wins and 27 losses, so they will be able to surpass the latter to rank sixth in the Eastern Conference.
In people's opinion, with the Cleveland Cavaliers currently winning four consecutive victories and the weak strength of these two teams, it may be more difficult for the Cleveland Cavaliers to lose the game than win the game...
So in this way, will the New Jersey Nets be destined to be overtaken by their opponent Cleveland Cavaliers?
The chain reaction of losing this game made the New Jerseys miserable, but now they can only accept such a reality helplessly. Because the result of the game has been frozen, even if the New Jerseys are unwilling to accept it, they cannot prevent such things from happening.
In this regard, while the New Jerseys felt extremely disappointed, the Cleveland media naturally became excited. Especially before the game began, Deron Williams, the core player of the New Jersey Nets, also publicly fought with the Cleveland media in front of the media, making them feel that they could not get out of Taiwan.
At this time, it is naturally a good time for the Cleveland media to take revenge! Although Deron Williams, who scored 36 points in this game, can be said to be one of the best players in the whole game, it is precisely because of his performance that the New Jersey Nets were able to lead the Cleveland Cavaliers for most of the game, and he also defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers All-Star guard Kyrie Irving in the game.
These are the things that Delon Williams deserves to be proud of in this game. But this cannot conceal the reality that he was defeated by Wu Dawei in the second half of the game...
As for the second half of the game, Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Byron Scott asked Wu Dawei to defend Deron Williams, his performance level began to plummet!
In front of Wu Dawei's defense, Delong Williams did not score a single point, and this situation continued until the end of the game. Delong Williams' 36 points were basically obtained from Kyrie Irving and other Cleveland Cavaliers defenders, and when Wu Dawei defended him, he immediately lost his form.
This is exactly where the Cleveland media can criticize him. Although he performed well, Delon Williams, who was defended by Wu Dawei in the second half, especially in the last quarter, was the most important reason for the collapse of the New Jersey Nets and even losing this game.
Although it cannot be said that he is the culprit of the New Jersey Nets' loss, after all, without Dron Williams' outstanding performance, perhaps the game would have lost its suspense in the first half.
But what if I say is it just because of the two lips of the Cleveland media, they can write whatever they want. Even Deron Williams is very reluctant, but he can't stop it.
And after losing this game, Deron Williams almost didn't accept the media's post-match interviews. After the game, even if he was stopped by reporters, he only gave a few short answers to this game. That is, the Cleveland Cavaliers played better, there was nothing to say, we lost a game that could have won, and so on...
Deron Williams of course hopes to keep a low profile after losing the game, but obviously the Cleveland media, who had a crush on them before the game, would not give them such a chance!
After the end of this game, the media in Cleveland not only performed their merits and performed in the game, but also did not forget to despise Deron Williams, who was arrogant before the start of this game.
"Dron Williams' attitude towards the reporters after this game was completely different from that before the game started! Perhaps because of the final loss of the game, the cowhide he boasted about before the game exploded, so he hoped to escape everything he was about to face. His low-keyness after the game was simply unrecognizable, and it even made us mistakenly think that the slander he was just his twin brother before the game..."
The Cleveland media's wanton ridicule made Deron Williams feel ashamed at this time, but after all, this was just a regular season game. So the media's coverage was not too strong. However, Deron Williams was still ridiculed by the Cleveland media after the game, which made him feel a little embarrassed, even though he was the player with the New Jersey Nets' best performance in this game.
But this cannot cover up his identity as a loser!
"Maybe it's because it's close to New York that Delon Williams from Utah to New Jersey last season was quickly infected with the New Yorker's problem. But obviously this did not help him, because while Wu Dawei and his Cleveland Cavaliers were celebrating victory and four consecutive victories, Delon Williams and his New Jersey Nets were going to swallow the two consecutive losses... "
After the game, Brian Windhorst's counterattack was the most extensive, bringing in the New Yorkers who had no connection with this game. Although New Jersey and New York are indeed two very close places, after all, New Jersey is New Jersey and New York is New York.
Brian Windhorst's jokes about Deron Williams and the New Jersey Nets after the game also brought the innocent New York in, which made the war begin to spread...
But obviously Brian Windhorst's move may not be unintentional. It was intentional. As we all know, the New York Knicks performed very well this season. So far, they are still ranked first in the Eastern Conference, but their performance has been a bit weak recently, so they have been slowly caught up by the Miami Heat, which ranks second.
But even so, the New York Knicks, which currently has 42 wins and 12 losses, is not a Clevelander who has not yet reached 50% of the winning rate. At least this is what the New York media thinks.
So when Brian Windhorst's article was originally about mocking Deron Williams and the New Jersey Nets, it immediately caused an uproar.
In the regular season of this season, the New Yorkers were very proud. Even if they were about to be caught up by the Miami Heat and lost the No. 1 throne in the East, they were still very satisfied with the team's performance this season.
So how could they tolerate outsiders teasing themselves when they are proud of themselves? Although Brian Windhorst's original intention was not to tease New Yorkers, this was not allowed by New Yorkers at this time.
In particular, the person who joked about them was Brian Windhorst, a reporter from the Cleveland Cavaliers, a mortal enemy of the New York Knicks. This is even more untolerant to New Yorkers, so the war of saliva is naturally about to break out.
However, the Cavaliers who were in Cleveland did not know such news. After all, after playing two games outside, the Cleveland Cavaliers players naturally had to go for a good rest after returning home.
There is nothing more affordable for them than having a good rest, and the team is in a good situation now. As long as they win two more games, they can climb up one place. This is the team's primary goal now.
So after returning to Cleveland, the next goal of the Cleveland Cavaliers is to play the next two games well. Neither the Toronto Raptors nor the Charlotte Bobcats are any difficult opponents.
So the players were very confident about the next two home games. For Wu Dawei, when he returned to Cleveland, he started his previous training schedule.
Although he just made a comeback, Wu Dawei has not felt too much physical discomfort in the past three games, which is good news for him. After all, the season has come to the second half of the season, and there is not much time left for the team. If he gets injured again at this time, then the Cleveland Cavaliers will be in vain this season!
So compared to the three consecutive victories since his comeback, Wu Dawei felt even more unwell about his body. After all, the body is the capital of revolution. If he cannot have a good body, everything will be useless.
And it is precisely because the Cleveland Cavaliers have a complete lineup again that they have attracted much attention in the league. Because people know that the Cleveland Cavaliers with a well-equipped lineup is a team that truly has the strength to defend the champion, and the key is to be healthy!
However, in addition to not feeling any discomfort in his body, Wu Dawei was also happy that the Cleveland Cavaliers were in the Eastern Conference with relatively weak overall strength, rather than the Western Conference with fierce competition.
If the Cleveland Cavaliers, who can currently rank seventh in the Eastern Conference, have a record in the Western Conference, then they can only rank tenth or even eleventh in the Western Conference at most!
So it is not only to be healthy, but also a good partition is very important. This is the same as life. The reason why some people can become strong is not only because they have outstanding strength, but also need all kinds of conditions to trigger them together. The right time, place and people are indispensable! (To be continued.
