Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Although the Cleveland Cavaliers faced a stubborn resistance from the New York Knicks in the second quarter, they eventually got through it.
Although the New Yorkers are tenacious, there is indeed a huge gap in strength between the two sides. This gully is difficult to fill, at least for a short time.
The Knicks caused problems at the start of the second quarter, but after the Cavaliers sent David Wu back to the court to respond, the Cleveland Cavaliers, playing at home, quickly resolved those problems and regained the lead.
Despite the fact that the head coach of the New York Knicks, Mike . D'Antoni also called a timeout very quickly, hoping to curb the Cavaliers' momentum to extend their lead, but it is clear that the Cleveland Cavaliers will definitely not lose momentum just because of a timeout.
When they hold their ground, the huge advantage in strength becomes a solid foundation for the Cleveland Cavaliers to lead. When both sides returned their starters to the court, the Cleveland Cavaliers were a team that was both offensive and defensive.
It's no wonder that others will regard the Cleveland Cavaliers as the favorite to win the championship this season, no matter from which point of view, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who have undergone a big change this season, do have the objective conditions to win the championship!
On the other hand, the New York Knicks, although they also have the league's first-line superstars in the team, they are like a plate of loose sand. Mike. D'Antoni was the league's premier offensive guru when he made a name for himself with the Suns.
But in his tactical system, point guard is always an unobtainable link, and it just so happens that this is the weakest link of the New York Knicks at present. I have to say that this is a kind of irony......
The Cavaliers continued to control the tempo of the game in the second quarter, and although the New Yorkers caused them some problems at the start of the second quarter, they then regained control of the pace of the game and led the New York Knicks on the road as the game entered the break.
At 42:51, the Cleveland Cavaliers led by nine points, allowing them to gleefully blow the whistle at halftime. Receiving the cheers of the Cleveland fans in the Quick Loan Center, I walked into the players' tunnel and walked to the locker room.
And the New York Knicks, who trailed by 9 points at halftime, naturally did not have such a good mood. The two teams walked towards the tunnel at the same time, the Cavaliers players had happy expressions on their faces, and the New York Knicks players were naturally crying and sad, obviously quite disappointed and frustrated with tonight's game.
Wu Dawei scored 18 points in the half, in addition to 3 blocks and 3 steals, it can be said that in the entire last game, Wu Dawei has helped the Cleveland Cavaliers dominate the offensive and defensive ends; Another key player on the Cleveland Cavaliers' roster is Dwight Dwight on the inside. Howard. It also has 11 points and 8 rebounds.
With the team's two cores so good, it's no surprise that the Cleveland Cavaliers are ahead. Because in comparison, the New York Knicks' main player Cameron . Anthony only scored 9 points in the first half of the game, and in the scoring he is best at, he is only half of Wu Dawei's, let alone his performance on the defensive end, and his contribution is even less worthy compared to Wu Dawei.
Of course, the New York Knicks' problems aren't just that. Cameron. Anthony's table is not satisfactory. It's one of the reasons why the New York Knicks trailed the Cleveland Cavaliers by a large margin at the end of the first half, but it's not all.
As another superstar in the team, Amare . Stoudemire also had just five points and seven rebounds in the first half. The poor score makes him look more like a blue-collar player, but Amaré can't be blamed for that. Stoudemire is not discouraged. Because the reason why he can't score points is not entirely related to his state and appearance. It is also related to the distribution of the ball.
Amare. Stoudemire only got four shots in the first half and shot 2-of-4 from the field was passable. Originally as a superstar, Amare . Stoudemire is Mike again. D'Antoni's veteran who occupies an important position in the Knicks' tactical system.
But D'Antoni's tactics were in the Knicks' game. But very few can be enforced. Mike. D'Antoni is now largely devoid of prestige in the team, and Cameron on the outside. Anthony and J.R. Smith are two ball-winning players, so they are slowly starting to guide Amare Stoudemire more and more insignificant in the team.
This Knicks team looks extremely good on paper. However, their team has a lot of problems internally, which is why they have been a team that has been on the verge of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Take a look at the other teams that spend about the same amount of money as the Knicks, which one is not the league's favorite to win the championship, and only the Knicks are so wonderful. And this strange thing has been going on for years......
"Looks like our first win is coming!"
Walking into the locker room and sitting down, Dwight. Howard high-fived Wu Dawei, and Wu Dawei laughed and said: "It looks like this, there are only 24 minutes left before our first victory!" ”
"That's right, 24 minutes, 24 minutes for New Yorkers to continue waiting for the fate of the slaughter!"
The two team bigwigs sat in their chairs in front of their locker and smiled at each other, and of course the two couldn't be more satisfied with the result of the first half. Although there were some small episodes in the middle, this did not affect the trend of the whole game in the end. Howard wouldn't have cared about that.
Those who achieve great things are not informal! Both of them have the same goal, which is to win the championship, and naturally they don't care much about the process, because all they care about is the final result!
Climb to the top of the league in June with the O'Brien Cup in hand!
It's not just David Wu and Dwight. Howard was pleased with the team's performance in the first half. Scott, after returning to the dressing room, also praised the players for their performance in the first half.
He encouraged his players to continue that momentum in the second half of the game and lay the winning streak for their first win of the playoffs tonight!
"It's going to be in our bag, that's it. Nothing changed in the first half and I hope it won't change in the second half! We have to win, and we have to win! This is our first race to the title! There is no room for error! ”
"No room for error!"
"No room for error!"
The locker room was filled with the shouts of the Cleveland Cavaliers, who were not going to let their guard down in the second half despite taking the lead in the first half. The goal of winning tonight's game is not going to change because of any circumstances.
The fifteen-minute break quickly passed, and the players from both teams were soon back on the pitch and began to warm up on the pitch for the final preparations for the upcoming second half of the game!
The Cleveland Cavaliers, who led their opponents by 9 points in the first half of the game, can be described as majestic at this time; And the New York Knicks, on the other hand. Every player's face remained expressionless. Although there is no previous frustration and disappointment, there is still no confidence and ambition in sight!
In terms of momentum alone, the New York Knicks, who are playing away, have fallen into disadvantage.
If they want to win this game, it will be very difficult for most people to win. With such a big advantage, will the Cleveland Cavaliers give them a chance? Obviously, this basically won't.
"Oh ~ The second half of the game is about to start again, Charles, what do you think about the second half of the game? Do you think the New York Knicks still have a chance to turn the tables? ”
Kenny sitting on the sidelines of the commentary seat. Smith hurriedly asked Barkley next to him before the start of the second half. Barkley pursed his lips when he heard this, with an expression that was not optimistic about the New York Knicks at all, and said: "Turnaround? Looking at the declining faces of New Yorkers, I don't see a trace of fighting spirit in them! Wu Dawei's cap and toughness. It has scared this group of pampered big city boys! There was no way for them to limit Wu Dawei's performance on the court, and at the same time, they themselves did not show any possibility of winning this game! If you want me to say, they're just a stepping stone for a bunch of Cavaliers! ”
Barkley's words sent the Cleveland fans sitting next to him cheering. But it was Jean Spike. Lee gritted his teeth when he heard this. But Speck. Lee couldn't argue either, because the New York Knicks' performance in the first half was really unsatisfactory.
Although they caused some difficulties for the Cleveland Cavaliers in the middle of the game. But overall, they didn't pose a real real threat to the Cavaliers. The players of the Difficult Cavaliers couldn't feel the murderous aura in them.
When a team's core players are suppressed by the opposing team's core players, then the team wants to win the game, which is really a bit of a fantasy.
So when Spike. Lee sat on the sidelines, watching as the second half of the game was about to begin, and the players from both teams were walking onto the court one after another. Lee's eyes are on David Wu and Cameron. Anthony's body wandered from side to side, and finally turned into a silent sigh.
In front of Wu Dawei, Cameron. Although Anthony entered the league six years before him, he is still just a star who has achieved nothing......
Wu Dawei won many honors last season, and Cameron . Anthony played for nearly ten seasons and never touched it. Wu Dawei was selected to the best defensive team last season. Anthony can't even match a player who hasn't even won the best defensive three; Wu Dawei was also a player in the second team of the year last season, while Cameron. Anthony played for nearly ten seasons and only made a few appearances......
Not to mention that Wu Dawei also won the supreme honor on the defensive end last season, the Defensive Player of the Year Award!
Of course, compared to last season, everyone believes that in this season, Wu Dawei will win more and louder honors than last season. With his average of 30 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 steals and 3 blocks per game in the regular season, being selected to the All-Defensive First Team and All-Defensive First Team this season is definitely a sure thing!
And that's all Cameron. Anthony is out of reach, not to mention that David Wu is still a popular candidate for MVP this season, and even many people have admitted that this year's MVP winners will be David Wu and LeBron. Choose one of the two between James!
It's just one season. David Wu will be Cameron. Anthony was left behind. This was when the New Yorkers brought in Cameron from the Denver Nuggets. Anthony didn't think of things at the time. And what's even more ironic is that there are two players with such two gaps like a Pacific Ocean, one with an annual salary of up to $20 million, and the other with only $5 million!
Although to Cameron. Anthony, who averaged 26 points and 8 rebounds per game this season, his 20 million annual salary cannot be counted as high salary and low ability; However, with Wu Dawei's performance and value this season, he is definitely the most low-salary and high-energy player in the history of the league!
With such a terrifying number, the league's historical-level PER value, the appearance of Wu Dawei has made the entire Cleveland Cavaliers earn a lot of money!
Spike. Lee shook his head and sighed from the sidelines, and the second half of the game had already kicked off amid the hysterical cheers of the Cleveland fans. Just like what people expected before. The Cleveland Cavaliers, who led their opponents by nine points in the first half, will definitely not give the New York Knicks any more chances in the second half.
At the start of the second half, they made a steal directly from their opponent's hands and then scored to extend the margin to more than double digits. And the person who did this qiē was Wu Dawei!
Wu Dawei continued his unstoppable mode on the court, although the New York Knicks were unwilling to stop there, but if they continued to play like this, losing would definitely be a punishment that could not be escaped!
Despite the fact that the head coach of the New York Knicks, Mike . D'Antoni frequently made changes to the team's tactics and personnel. However, the two cores of the Cleveland Cavaliers have played well.
Dwight. Howard's opponent tonight was last season's championship center. However, as the league's No. 1 center, Dwight . Howard, but not at all scared Tyson. Chandler's name.
Coupled with the fact that the team played so smoothly, Dwight. Howard is also in high spirits!
The Cleveland Cavaliers at the start of the second half. played a wave of small high chao on both offensive and defensive ends, and the whole team was almost unwilling to give the New York Knicks any chance to play away.
Although the New Yorkers, who were unwilling to let this fail, tried to stop the counterattack, they were all defused by the Cleveland Cavaliers one by one. At the home fast loan center of their own home. The Cleveland Cavaliers didn't give the New Yorkers any hope of a comeback.
With the highs they played at the start of the second half, the Cleveland Cavaliers eventually defeated their first-round opponents in the playoffs, the New York Knicks, in a bloodless run at the Quickloan Center.
88:105, a huge advantage of 17 points allowed the Cleveland Cavaliers to win that called it easy and comfortable. Although they were not particularly perfect in this game, the young newcomer Kyrie. Owen & Danny. Green's table xiàn is not good. One leaned on a fourth-quarter scoring score of 10 points and shot a dismal 25 percent from the field; The other shot 3-of-5 from beyond the three-point line, but most of the goals came in the fourth quarter, which was already out of suspense......
But fortunately, the two cores of the team, Wu Dawei and Dwight. Howard's performance is outstanding. Wu Dawei played 30 points in this game, contributing 29 points and 10 rebounds, as well as 5 assists, 5 steals and 4 blocks for the team. And Dwight, who sits on the inside. Howard also scored 25 points for the team, in addition to 15 rebounds and three blocks. Chandler's counterpoint, Dwight. Howard arguably has the complete upper hand.
Just like tonight's game, the Cleveland Cavaliers won the game against the New York Knicks!
Even though it wasn't a tight game, the Cleveland fans who came to the Quickfinance Center tonight were in high spirits as they got their first win of the playoffs this evening and their first win on their way to the championship!
By the time of their victory, they had already taken the lead in the first round of the playoffs.
The score of 1:0 allows the Cleveland Cavaliers players to prepare for the second game of the series between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the New York Knicks the day after tomorrow.
The Cleveland Cavaliers, who won the first game, are naturally full of confidence in this second game that will soon follow. It's a great feeling for the Cleveland Cavaliers players who lost to the Finals last season to get back on the playoffs, and it's quite exciting! (To be continued......)
