53. Overtake
The second quarter of the game was the quarter in which the Cavaliers overtook the score. The Cavaliers' bench lineup was a great way to beat Knicks coach D'Antoni expectations tonight, and it also disrupted his personnel scheduling.
Because the Cavaliers' bench lineup caught up with the score in the first two minutes of the second quarter and overtook the score in the third minute, D'Antoni had no choice but to replace the main force first.
But instead of helping the team, Raymond Field, who was not in good form tonight, made the team more passive after being cut off by Ramon Sessions.
Therefore, as a result, D'Antoni had to send all the main squad back to the field. Three minutes after the Knicks' main players came on the court, the main players of the Cavaliers, who had rested for almost half of the quarter, were late.
David Wu was the only bench player among the ten men on the court at this time, but his appearance in the first quarter made the Knicks players, especially Wilson Chandler, no longer dare to underestimate him.
At this point, the situation has changed drastically from the first quarter, and at 40:37, the leader has become the Cleveland playing on the road. This situation made the great director Spike Lee sitting on the sidelines particularly unhappy.
He doesn't want to witness a win-lose game, and the Knicks have had a rough start to the season, finishing 10th in the East with 2-4 and now 8th in the East with the Cleveland Cavaliers at 4-4.
If they can win this game, the Knicks can go one step further.
But the ball was in Cleveland hands at the time, so Spike Lee had to shout "DEFENSE" with the fans in the hope that the Cavaliers would miss the offense and give the Knicks a chance to catch up.
But soon a mid-range hit put the sonic boom of Madison Square Garden into dissipation.
Williams handed the ball to Anthony Parker at the baseline after halftime, and Wu Dawei actively ran to the sideline to make a block for Parker, and he successfully blocked the Knicks player who was responsible for defending Parker, so Wilson Chandler could only go up to delay Parker's advance.
In this way, Wu Dawei was inadvertently exposed like a bird in jeans without zippers at the bottom line.
Parker hurriedly passed the ball, and Wu Dawei reciprocated the former with an assist from a mid-range, while also extending the lead for the team.
42:37。
This ball made Spike Lee on the sidelines so angry that he blew his beard and glared, but for no reason it made Wu Dawei's heart feel refreshed, and when he ran in front of Spike Lee, Wu Dawei also deliberately showed his right palm that had just finished scoring, in exchange for a voice: "You SB." ”
But soon Spike Lee's SB became Wilson Chandler, because the latter was tackled for the second time when he was holding the ball against Wu Dawei! After winning the ball, Wu Dawei hurriedly advanced to the front court, and then expanded the difference again with a three-step layup after a violent dunk.
"You idiot, how can you let that SB get a steal!?" Well, in fact, the SB in Spike Lee's mouth is still Wu Dawei......
However, this SB has become the most headache for the home team at this time, because Wu Dawei is not only effective in single defense on the defensive end, but also unguardable in assisting defense.
Raymond Field passed the ball to Amare Stoudemire at a 45-degree angle on the left side of the court. Stoudemire held the ball in the high post to face Valejo's dancing defensive stance, while the rest of the Knicks players rushed to the weak side to open up space for Stoudemire. Only Wilson Chandler was in ambush in the bottom corner of the strong side.
Stoudemire used his left foot as the axis, he first shook it a few times, then made a gesture with the ball in his right hand and stabbed diagonally towards the inside, and when he burst into the vicinity of the paint area, he suddenly turned to the left and shook Vallejo, who could not turn back in time! …,
At this point, Stoudemire was facing Vallejo's back, and he only had to jump lightly to shoot. But the little overlord is prestigious, and he wants to boost morale with a wonderful slam dunk.
So, after turning around, Stoudemire did not jump immediately, but leaned on Vallejo, and after taking another step inside, it soared into the air like a spring!
With the ball in his right hand, Stoudemire saw that he was about to make a shocking dunk in the Cavaliers' paint area, but unfortunately the mantis caught the cicada and the yellow finch was behind, and at the moment when he was about to dunk the basketball into the basket, a big hand stretched out from the left rear slapped the left side of the basket.
With a snap, the basketball smacked on the hoop and flew outward!
Antoine Jamison took possession of the ball at the free-throw line and it turned into a Cavaliers counterattack!
Williams scored in the Knicks' halftime with a brilliant performance that passed three people in a row, but the commentary bench at Madison Square Square was all about Wu Dawei.
"Did you find it, Wu Dawei's blocks, steals and co-defense, every time he appeared, it was just right, and his defense never ventured. People say that nine out of ten steals are gambled, and nine times out of ten blocks are played, but Wu Dawei's every block and every steal are judged very accurately. It's as if he can know in advance whether the attacker's attack this time is real or fake, whether it is dribbling to the left or right. ”
Kenny Smith, as the villain when he first appeared, couldn't help but marvel at Wu Dawei's appearance on the defensive end.
"Kenny, does it take more than 40 chapters for your reflexes to give instructions?" Barkley scoffed, looking like he had already said he would be a genius, "That's why I'm so respectful of this young man's defense." His appearance on the defensive end is definitely unprecedented! Oh, SHIT! ”
The reason why Barkley suddenly exploded in the middle of his speech was because he saw Wu Dawei once again use his back-to-back skills on the offensive end to start singleing Wilson Chandler.
That posture of suddenly sudden's butt is really not beautiful at all. Looks like ...... Well, you can't describe it at all except the word pig arch cabbage......
In the praise of Wu Dawei's defense and the sound of complaining about his back body skills, the twelve minutes of the second quarter of the game quickly ended.
The Cavaliers eventually took the lead in the quarter, and at 57:50, they had already led their opponents by seven points on the road. It would have made it much easier for them in the second half, and Wu Dawei had 8 points, 5 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block at this time.
