113. The fighting spirit is awe-inspiring
In the second quarter, the situation of the game was quickly turned upside down. The Cavaliers quickly broke the deadlock after Wu Dawei came on the court, and Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni hastily called a timeout.
He didn't want to let the back-to-back fast break drive Cleveland crazy, and as an advocate of fast break tactics, he knew very well that such a situation could easily lead to a collapse. So after the timeout, all the Knicks' main players returned to the court.
The Cavaliers' lineup has also been adjusted, and almost all the main players have returned to the court, except for Ramon Sessions, who is still the No. 1 position. Williams was still in poor form in this game, and his shooting percentage dropped significantly from last season.
One has to wonder if he really has LeBron James' light.
After the timeout, the game resumed.
As the undisputed boss of the current Knicks team, he is also the focus of attention in this game. Amare Stoudemire was back on the pitch and immediately had a spurt of action.
He is no longer playing with the ball inside and back to the outside as he did at the beginning of this game, but more about the high post to play with Raymond Felton after the pick-and-roll, or the mid-range shot; And Wu Dawei found that in the Knicks' offense, Wilson Chandler no longer has too many offenses with the ball. He's more of a half-court cut run and then catch the ball and shoot.
Although his offense with the ball is much better than his ability to shoot when he catches the ball. But perhaps because he found out that Wu Dawei can always cause problems for his team on the defensive end, D'Antoni did not hesitate to give up part of Wilson Chandler's attacking ability, not to mention that his performance tonight was not very good, at this time Amare Stoudemire was in good form, and frequently scored on the offensive end, which made D'Antoni even more determined to think so.
Wu Dawei's previous performance on the defensive end once again impressed the fast-break master. Almost immediately, he had the idea that Thibodeau had in mind: maybe I should ask the general manager to bring this Chinese striker into my team.
A player who has always been extremely good on the defensive end and can launch fast breaks, which is exactly what D'Antoni wants.
Just like this time, the Knicks made a rare steal on the defensive end, Antoine Jamison broke through the ball, and before he could pass the ball in the first place after being caught on the inside, he was suspended and the fierce Amare Stoudemire and Daroni Gallinari stole the ball!
Raymond Felton was quick to attack after receiving the ball, but fortunately the Clevelands were not slow to return. Both sides rushed through the half court almost at the first time, but this sudden conceded goal made the Cavaliers not fall into a good defensive formation.
And New Yorkers will not give them such a chance, and Madison Garden Square burst into cheers the moment the ball was broken. Now the score displayed on the big screen is 38:37, which means that if the New York Knicks score one more goal, they will be able to overtake the score!
No one likes to chase the feeling of eating ashes behind other people's buttocks, they chased most of the game and finally had a chance to overtake, so naturally they won't let it go.
As soon as Felton was intercepted, he passed the basketball out without hesitation. Wilson Chandler received a pass at the top of the three-point line, but instead of attacking, he continued to pass the ball.
Not just because Wu was in front of him, but because Amare Stoudemire was already down the line, waving at Chandler for the ball as he rushed inside.
The team's power forward was in good shape at this time, and Stoudemire immediately attracted the attention of nearby Cavaliers players as soon as he received the ball. Wu Dawei was ready to move next to Stoudemire, but Stoudemire, who had already scored six points in a row, didn't care so much. …,
