Although the New York Knicks played very tenaciously in the opening game, their unexpected counterattack left the Cleveland Cavaliers unaccustomed for a while, but the Cleveland Cavaliers soon readjusted.

The Cleveland Cavaliers, playing at home, first gained a foothold on the defensive end and then slowly re-penetrated back to the offensive end. They have always been a team that is good at playing defensive counter-attacks, so naturally starting with defense is the best option.

After a short stalemate with the New York Knicks, the Cleveland Cavaliers began to slowly pull away in the ensuing games. Wu Dawei and Dwight. Howard's core lineup began to slowly dominate the team's offensive and defensive ends.

In the first game of the first round of the playoffs, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are playing at home, certainly hope to usher in a hearty victory as the opening lottery of this season's playoffs.

Naturally, they will do their best in tonight's game. After an unexpected stalemate in the opening period, the game quickly opened up the deficit in the onslaught of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

It's as surprising as no one thought at the beginning that the New York Knicks, who were considered vulnerable by everyone before the game, would actually take the lead; The Cleveland Cavaliers also quickly brought the game back to the picture that people had envisioned before the game.

At 8:15, before the halfway point of the first quarter, the Cleveland Cavaliers counterattacked with a defensive counterattack, instantly turning the originally anxious situation into a leading advantage for the Cleveland Cavaliers fighting at home.

They controlled the pace of the game, and naturally they were much more relaxed than before. As the core of the Cleveland Cavaliers, David Wu and Dwight are the core of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Howard is already a player who has experienced strong winds and waves. It was also the beginning of the one-stop defensive counterattack directed and acted by Wu Dawei that the Cleveland Cavaliers began to gain a firm foothold and gradually widened the difference.

After 8:15, the head coach of the New York Knicks, Mike Brown, was in charge of the New York Knicks. D'Antoni hastily requested a timeout, apparently because the situation on the pitch had begun to diverge from what he had thought. He knew that if the team continued to go on like this, then this game would be like this.

Mike. D'Antoni's request for a time-out paid off in the games that followed. After the game restarted, the New York Knicks did not continue to be stretched apart by the Cleveland Cavaliers playing at home.

The first quarter of the game then entered a relatively smooth and excessive stage, the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first quarter of the subsequent games, no longer opened the difference, the New York Knicks finally stopped the decline. However, they did not have any ability to overtake the Cleveland Cavaliers' lead. Howard teamed up to firmly defend the Cleveland Cavaliers' lead at home.

Until Wu Dawei and Dwight. When Howard came off the break, the score was not closed by the New Yorkers. Because Wu Dawei and Dwight. Howard has a bright spot on both ends of the floor.

The two played 8 minutes each in the first quarter, and Wu Dawei contributed 7 points, 2 steals, 2 rebounds and 2 assists. And Dwight. Howard also had five points and four rebounds on the line.

When the two of them are off. The Cleveland Cavaliers were leading 15-22, and the game began to enter the game late in the first quarter when the two sides were competing for the bench. During the regular season, the Cleveland Cavaliers came off the bench due to the presence of Kyrie. Owen is such a dazzling star of tomorrow, and their table is always better than the opponent's second lineup.

Carey. Irving's 15 points and seven assists during the regular season can't help but make people look forward to the rookie's first career playoff trip. But obviously, people's first times are not always so rosy.

At least for Carey. Irving, for example, replaced Chauncey in the first quarter. Billups didn't immediately show what he did during the regular season.

Even he didn't have any advantage against the New York Knicks' weakest position, the No. 1 spot. Maybe I was a little too nervous for the first time. Carey. After Irving came to the court, the Cleveland Cavaliers not only did not continue their previous advantage, but were faintly caught up by the New York Knicks who were playing away.

The situation suddenly became a little tense, and the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Byron Brown. Scott. Hurry up and put Ramon. Sessions was sent to the court. Sessions came on to replace Anthony, who had been playing for a long time. Parker, and then he took the No. 1 position to make Carey. Owen went to play the number two position.

Although in terms of personal strength skills, Ramon. Sessions is indeed inferior to Carey. Irving's in the regular season due to Danny. Green's outburst. Ramon. Sessions' playing time has also dropped dramatically. But when the game came to the playoffs, there was no doubt that as the most experienced guard in the playoffs on the bench, Ramon Brown. Sessions is also the head coach Byron. The object that Scott leans on.

Otherwise, according to the habits of recent times. This time period is already Danny. Green is out, but now Danny. Green was still sitting in his chair, while Ramon. Sessions regained his chance to play.

Sessions' play really controlled the rhythm of the game very well, after all, his experience was there, and the opponent was the weakest No. 1 position of the Knicks, and Sessions looked like he was playing with ease.

But despite Byron. Scott reacted quickly and brought Ramon to the Cavaliers a moment when they were in a bit of a slump. Sessions made a substitution on the court, but at the end of the first quarter, the Cleveland Cavaliers had a game of David Wu and Dwight Cavaliers. Howard led by 7 points when he came off the court, but he was still caught up by the opponent.

At 24:28, the lead was narrowed to 4 points.

This is undoubtedly a bit of a disappointment, especially since before he came on the court, Kyrie was somewhat expected by Cleveland Cavaliers fans. Irving, in the first quarter of the game, he didn't score a point after he came on the court, and the table was very mediocre.

The Knicks also took advantage of the late first quarter to recover some of their disadvantages. And undoubtedly, such a situation suddenly appeared on the court, which made the head coach of the New York Knicks, Mike . D'Antoni suddenly realized something.

Before the series began, he certainly had an idea of the opponents his team would face in the first round. A large number of analyses have been conducted. Although the outside world is quite unoptimistic about the New York Knicks, as the team's head coach Mike . D'Antoni did enough to prepare for the game!

The Cleveland Cavaliers' bench roster this season is strong because of Antoine. A veteran like Jamison is in charge, and the second is Kyrie. Irving and Danny, who rose to prominence in the second half of the season. Green's outburst.

Antoine. Jamison is averaging nearly 10 points and seven rebounds per game this season, while Kyrie is averaging nearly 10 points and seven rebounds per game. Irving can contribute 15 points and 7 assists per game for the Cleveland Cavaliers, which can be said to be an extremely important member of the team; And in the second half of the season broke out Danny. Green, although his average points per game this season is not high, has averaged nearly 8 points per game since the second half of the season, and his average three-point shooting rate is as high as 47%. You can make at least 2 three-pointers for the Cleveland Cavaliers per game!

In addition, Ramon, who averaged 5 points and 4 assists per game. Sessions and J.J. Sixson, who had seven points and five rebounds, were also the ones the Cleveland Cavaliers relied on. But apparently, Carey. Irving's strong performance on the offensive end is as well as Danny. Green's threat from beyond the three-point line has given the Cleveland Cavaliers too many advantages and opportunities.

These two guys are young, and it's safe to assume that they're slowly becoming unavailable members of the Cleveland Cavaliers; And it is also because of their youth that one of these two people is a rookie last year, and the other is a player who was only brought to the NBA home team by the Cleveland Cavaliers from the NBDL this year.

They are very talented, but they don't have a lot of experience, especially in the playoffs! Carey. Irving's previous table is enough to illustrate this point, otherwise Wu Dawei and Dwight. Howard laid the foundation in the previous games. According to the usual Cleveland Cavaliers' routine, they should now have at least a double-digit lead.

Carey. Irving's terrible performance was well given at this time as the head coach of the New York Knicks. Inspired by D'Antoni.

That is, maybe the Cleveland Cavaliers' bench won't be as strong as they were in the regular season! Even their bench lineup. It's a matter of wonder if it will become their weakness in the playoffs!

Mike standing on the sidelines. D'Antoni couldn't help but jump a little at the thought of this possibility. Then the second quarter of the game, which will continue next, will undoubtedly be an opportunity for the New York Knicks.

A chance to take advantage of the Cleveland Cavaliers' "weakness" and deliver a fatal blow!

Think of this possibility. Mike. D'Antoni was no longer standing on the sidelines, but walked straight to the bench, and he couldn't wait to start the second quarter.

Although he is still the leader on the pitch. But the atmosphere of the Cleveland Cavaliers in the players' box was not so relaxed. Carey. Owen sat on the chair depressed, Wu Dawei was enlightening the rookie king who missed all three shots in the first quarter and was repeatedly mistaken by the opponent.

"Forget jì you in the first verse of the table xiàn, Carey! You can, you've had a great table this season, you've been excellent from start to finish, just like you've been waiting for the table xiàn in the second quarter! ”

David Wu tries to motivate Carey. Owen, and his short few words were also very quick to get Carey. Owen regains his confidence. After all, he is a young man with strong blood, and he can make him explode bloodily in just a few words.

He quickly swept away his previous depression, and then walked onto the court with his head held high as the second quarter reopened.

After a two-minute break, the second quarter of the game was about to kick off again. The Cleveland Cavaliers still held the lead at the start of the second quarter. Although they didn't play well in the end of the first quarter, Wu Dawei and Dwight were not playing well before that. The foundation that Howard laid for the team still gave them a buffer room, so that they would not be hit by the New York Knicks and immediately fall into infinite passivity.

However, when the second quarter of the game restarted, Wu Dawei, who was sitting on the bench, looked at the situation on the court with burning eyes, but he had a bad feeling. The New York Knicks started the second quarter with Cameron Brown. Anthony and J.R. Smith put on the pitch. Anthony scored just two points in the first quarter, and J.R. Smith only scored three points.

But the appearance of such two well-known stars has always been difficult for the Cleveland Cavaliers to feel at ease. Byron standing on the sidelines. Scott also frowned, thinking about D'Antoni's strategy for this game. If you continue to play like this, is it difficult for Anthony to make his core players play the full 48 minutes!?

You must know that the second game will be played the day after tomorrow......

If the core players are used in this way, and if the body is overdrawn, in such a fierce game, it is easy for the players to get injured and feel powerless!

Such a move is undoubtedly a bit risky, but Mike. D'Antoni's changes have paid off. The New York Knicks tied the gap just one minute into the second quarter!

Jr. Smith and Carmelo Anthony each hit a mid-range shot on the offensive end to tie the score at 28-28.

Carey. Owen, Ramon. Sessions and Danny. Green's three-guard lineup was a bit of a mess on both ends of the floor.

"Beautiful! Keep going, Knicks! Spike sitting on the sidelines. Lee jumped up excitedly and stood on the sidelines cheering for the Knicks' watch.

Byron. Scott knew he couldn't let D'Antoni toss like this, and judging from his current situation, there was no doubt that D'Antoni's risky move had paid off. At least they equalized the score, and if they didn't make any more moves, then the next step would definitely be for the New Yorkers to overtake the score!

The New Yorkers have seized their chances to level the score, and Byron. Scott knew he couldn't give them another chance to talk about the scoreline! So he beckoned to the bench: "Wu! (To be continued......)
