Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
In the first quarter of the contest with Wu Dawei, it can be said that Cameron. Anthony did not take any advantage in the slightest, and even in the eyes of most people, he was in an absolute disadvantage when facing Wu Dawei without any achievements.
At the end of the first quarter, Wu Dawei had already scored 6 points, 2 assists, 3 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block, and Anthony's report card was a big surprise.
Scored 3 points on 1-of-5 shooting in the first quarter. Anthony's appearance, at least in the first quarter, is completely off the bar for a superstar.
In the confrontation with Wu Dawei in the first quarter, he couldn't show his demeanor as the league's top three small forwards at all, and was completely defeated by Wu Dawei, a newcomer who was still pink and tender compared to him.
In addition, the Thunder star who joined the league in 07 is Kevin . Durant, so to speak, Cameron. Anthony has been in a downward situation since his debut. The decline here is certainly not his technical and tactical level and personal ability, compared to being a basketball player, he is still one of the talented people; Rather, it's about his position in the league.
When he first joined the league, Cameron. Anthony is known and known as what can be compared to LeBron. James is the future leader of the competition. People called him in the '03 draft with LeBron. James is a twin star.
And his rookie season did live up to such a title, but as his career progressed, Cameron. Anthony was one season after another season with LeBron. There is a growing gap between James!
This gap is increasing year by year. And, more importantly, as the two slowly move from the league's new players into the Mesozoic. Not only has Anthony been completely unable to compete with LeBron. James competed for the title of the league's No. 1 small forward, and even the league's No. 2 small forward title was quickly retained!
Kevin, who entered the league in '07. Durant is growing at an extremely fast pace, and soon Cameron is growing at a very fast pace. Anthony squeezed out the No. 2 spot and became the second-best small forward player in the league today.
However, that's not Cameron. The end of Anthony's slide, perhaps it might be more appropriate to call it the beginning now.
Wu Dawei, who has risen this season, is also a player in the No. 3 position. Although in the opening game at the beginning of the season, Cameron. Anthony once beat Wu Dawei in the game, but it was very fast. In the second meeting between the two, the growth is better than Kevin. Durant and Wu Dawei, who was much faster, gave Cameron . Anthony smacked the head!
A shock to the whole league of the dismount that made Cameron. Anthony was completely embarrassed.
He was blocked six times by Wu Dawei in a single game, which is the most number of blocks in a game for a player in the history of the league.
Cameron. Anthony never imagined that only someone else would be a footnote to his own record, one day. What a shift will happen! I became a footnote to the history of others when they created zĂ o! Such a situation is also Cameron anyway. Anthony couldn't even accept it.
So, he's looking forward to tonight's game, because he wants to give Wu the same shameful night. But obviously, the start of the night was not as Anthony envisioned in the first quarter, in the first quarter of the contest. Anthony himself also knew very well that he had never taken advantage of Wu Dawei from beginning to end, but was cut off by Wu Dawei when he attacked for the first time, which became the laughing stock of the audience!
Such a situation surprised Anthony very unwillingly. It even made him feel ashamed, especially when he remembered that he had openly questioned Wu Dawei for squeezing himself out of the All-Star Game. Anthony became more and more unwilling!
This was not the beginning he wanted, and he was even more reluctant to let such a beginning continue like this! Because that's something he can't tolerate, he's going to prove tonight that he's still one of the best three small forwards in the league!
In the current era of small forwards in the league, Cameron . Anthony knows what a great honour it is, he has occupied this position for many years, and he has paid for it with one big fight after another with those famous stars!
It's the glory of his hard work, Cameron. Anthony naturally couldn't give it up!
He knew that tonight's game was a make-or-lose game for him. If he loses to Wu Dawei in this game, then maybe from now on, when people talk about the three best forwards in the league, his name may not be on such a list.
Maybe you'll fall on buddy LeBron. James, Kevin. After Durant and Wu Dawei, they are in fourth place. It's just a gap in position, but have you ever seen any race with a podium dedicated to a fourth-place finisher?
The fourth will not be your glory, the only thing it can do for you is to win the sympathy of others. At a time when he should have been at the peak of his personal competitive state, he was pressed under a group of better players, and the sympathy that arose!
This can never be Cameron. Anthony's dream, so, he's going to fight back!
After playing 8 minutes in the first quarter, he scored only 3 points on 1-of-5 shooting. After D'Antoni was substituted, Antony was quickly given a chance to play in the second quarter. With just one minute to go in the second quarter, Anthony took the court in place of a substitute.
Because the Knicks' bench players were on the opposite by Antoine. Jamison, Rasu. Butler and Ramon. When the Cavaliers team formed by Sessions came off the bench, it was difficult to occupy a half-point advantage.
Jamison is the scoring champion of the Cavaliers this season with Wu Dawei, averaging 18 points per game and nearly 19 points per game. And Rasu. After Butler joined the Cavaliers, he was able to average 9 points and 5 rebounds per game.
Not to mention Ramon, who was just replaced by Billups from the Cavaliers lineup. Sessions too, although Sessions was in office during that time. The Cavaliers' record isn't good at all, but for him personally. The experience still makes him comfortable as a backup point guard!
He is currently averaging 11 points and 7 assists per game, and as a point guard off the bench, he's completely up to par! A very qualified backup point guard!
Naturally, the Cavaliers with a full lineup, as long as Chauncey. If Billups can fit into the team, there is no doubt that their quality will jump to the next level.
The strength of a team cannot be judged by the strength of their lineup. The role of the substitutes in the rotation period can definitely make the difference between winning and losing the game.
Take, for example, the Chicago Bulls and the Miami Heat, who are currently ranked first in the East and second in the East. In terms of lineup, don't say that the Bulls are no team in the league that can compete with them, but although the Heat's record is the top in the league, there are still two or three teams in front of it that are above him.
The reason is simple, these teams have just as good benches. The Heat, on the other hand, don't have any more money to make up their bench lineup, and usually, they let a superstar play with a normal sub-bench. This is used to compensate for the weakness of the rotation phase.
The New York Knicks have the same problems as the Heat, except that they have one less superstar than the Heat, making them even more stretched.
So, usually, Cameron. Anthony & Amare. Stoudemire's playing time is generally no less than 40 minutes.
When Anthony came on, the score was 24-32. The Cavaliers, playing at home, are already eight points ahead. The Knicks are counting on Anthony now, and although he had a terrible performance in the first quarter, the Cavaliers don't have David Wu on the lineup right now.
"Come on! Cameron! â
Seeing Anthony play, Spike. Li stood up, waved his fist loudly, and shouted at the court. Cheer on the Knicks players. Tonight, he regretted coming to the Quick Loan Center to watch the game, because seeing the ball now makes the big director feel aggrieved to death!
Although Anthony played in the first quarter it can be said that it was terrible. But now New Yorkers can only be used as a horse doctor for the time being. Because Stoudemire, despite being in good form, has already played 11 minutes in the first quarter, and now it's time to give him a little more rest.
Anthony also understands very well that the team needs himself now, and the anger he received from Wu Dawei in the first quarter also needs an outlet for release.
Face Rasu. Butler's defense is undoubtedly a good opportunity for Anthony. Although Rasu. Butler can still contribute good efficiency on the offensive end, but he is much bigger than Anthony after all, and the gap in physical quality is no longer in the same level.
Even at a young age, Rasu. Butler had never been able to reach Anthony's level, let alone be old now.
Of course, Anthony can also see this, no matter how much he suffered in front of Wu Dawei before, no matter how much he said that he is still a superstar in the league! A player who just participated in the All-Star Game, the strength of such a player is not something that can be ignored at will, even if he played badly in the first quarter!
After Anthony came on the court, he used his body to single Butler on the inside one after another, and almost in less than two minutes, the Knicks relied on Anthony to score eight points in a row on the offensive end and caught up with the difference in one fell swoop!
At 32:34, the Cavaliers relied solely on Antoine. Jamison scored two points on a shot.
Such a situation happened so that the head coach of the Cavaliers, Byron Brown. Scott had to request a timeout, and he needed to rearrange his tactics on the court, while at the same time, making some adjustments to the personnel.
In the New Yorkers' offensive high, Anthony's eight points were the centerpiece of all. For such a man, who scored only two points in the first quarter, to score eight consecutive points in two minutes is something that Scott thinks is intolerable!
He angrily rebuked the players who had just come on the field, and then, he looked directly at Wu Dawei and said to him: "Great! You replace Butler! â
For such an adjustment, not only Wu Dawei, but everyone in the team was not surprised. As the strongest defensive player in the team and even in the league, Wu Dawei was extremely successful in defending Anthony tonight, and Anthony only made 1 of 5 shots in the first quarter, which is the best proof!
Even the veteran Rasu, who was completely helpless against Anthony before. Butler has no complaints about such an adjustment. Wu Dawei's strength on the defensive end is already recognized as excellent.
As for Wu Dawei himself, of course, he is eager to try this. Just sitting on the sidelines and seeing Anthony's uncharacteristically completely opposite state in the first quarter, Wu Dawei was a little surprised to be honest.
Because he thought that his defense of Anthony in the first quarter had made him feel frustrated and disappointed. Wu Dawei thought that Anthony's game should be just like this, but he didn't expect the superstar to rebound so quickly!
Defending Anthony to shoot 1 of 5 is nothing for Wu Dawei, if he can put a good Cameron on the fence. Anthony defends without confidence, that's called refreshing!
It's as if you've beaten your opponent physically and mentally, and you feel an indescribable sense of pride!
At the timeout, head coach Byron Brown. Scott rearranged his tactics, but his only request for Wu Dawei was to prevent Cameron from killing him in the first quarter. Anthony!
After the pause, the game was naturally going to restart. For Wu Dawei's return to the court, the Knicks naturally predicted it, after all, Wu Dawei only played 8 minutes in the first quarter, and the rest time was enough for him.
Wu Dawei's re-entry on the court, instantly made the quick loan center resounded with feverish cheers, before the Cleveland fans were helpless by Anthony's series of attacks, at this time after seeing Wu Dawei, who had prevented Anthony from death in the first quarter, the fans naturally hoped that Wu Dawei would have another hearty defensive performance!
Jean Cameron. Anthony is completely lost against the offense!
However, such thoughts are only stored in the hearts of Cleveland fans, and after seeing Wu Dawei on the court, the Knicks die-hard Spike who sat on the sidelines and was depressed for a whole quarter of the game. Li finally got the opportunity to shout at Wu Dawei.
Of course, he would not let go of such an opportunity!
"Hey, Wu! What are you doing when you come up at this time? Blown up by Cameron? You gauze! â
Spike. Lee's gushing words were mixed with swearing, but Wu Dawei was used to it, and he looked at Spike. Lee's eyes were like looking at a real big gauze!
"Spike, you're not just a big gauze! Still an old thing with amnesia! â
