This game is like Wu Dawei greeted Yao Ming before the start of the game, from the beginning of the game, Wu Dawei sent hot pot to Houston.
After the team lacked Yao Ming to sit on the inside, and was told by the team doctor that Yao Ming was likely to be reimbursed for the season, the team's head coach Adelman began to build the team into a fast offensive team, Aaron Brooks and Kyle Lowry are two great engines, they drove the team's offensive and defensive rhythm very fast, and it was because of the Rockets' extremely fast offensive and defensive rhythm that Wu Dawei received 5 blocks in this game.
This team, which is shorter than Wu Dawei in average height, is decisive in attacking, which is the reason why Wu Dawei has gained a lot in blocks in this game.
Without Yao Ming, without Maddie, and with Atay, the team that had made it to the second round of the playoffs in the previous two seasons was now just a team wandering the door of the playoffs.
In the end, the Cavaliers won the game on the road, and the Houstonians played with little defense, allowing the Cavaliers to end the game in three quarters. Wu played 25 minutes in this game, contributing 14 points, 8 rebounds, 5 blocks, 3 steals and 4 assists.
He's starting to focus more and more on passing, not just because Charles Barkley told him that his offensive ability isn't too buggy right now, but also because the game against the Heat gave him the joy of assisting.
At the start of the season, he was always concerned about his watch on the pitch, but there was really no way to distract himself from his situation at the time. Imagine how a player who can't even guarantee playing time can easily give up the opportunity to shoot? In the case that he has not yet solved the problem of food and clothing, giving the only nest in his hand to others to eat, it is definitely not just a good person, and the word good is definitely written on the head of 250......
And now, Wu Dawei has begun to slowly sit in the main position of the team, and even he has become the third place in the Eastern Conference All-Star vote, which shows that Wu Dawei has become an increasingly indispensable player for the Cavaliers.
Therefore, the change of location naturally brings about a change in thinking. In the past, Wu Dawei was concerned about his own survival, but now that the problem is solved, he will naturally start to pay attention to the team's results, and as a player, no one wants to be on the big stage of the playoffs and show himself there.
That's the real hors d'oeuvre!
And now, the Cavaliers are in a very positive situation, having gone 15-12 after the win over the Houston Rockets. They are seventh in the Eastern Conference and are still two wins separating them from eighth in the Eastern Conference.
After a back-to-back on the road, the Cavaliers took a special plane back to Cleveland. They get two days off before back-to-back home games against the Charlotte Bobcats and the Utah Jazz.
There is also a long gap between the two games, so the Cavaliers can prepare well for these two games and then sit back and relax. It's just a pity that they didn't extend their winning streak in these two games.
After a comfortable home win over visiting Fish Belly side Charlotte Bobcats, they lost to the Utah Jazz for the second time this season.
As a result, the Cavaliers' record is 16-13, and they still sit in seventh place in the Eastern Conference.
In these two games, Wu Dawei contributed an average of 16 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks per game, which is higher than his average this season, and it stands to reason that it can be considered a good performance.
But with Amare Stoudemire's explosive 38 points per game in his last three games, many believe the gap is too great. Stoudemire's New York Knicks have also recently won three in a row, improving their record to 15-14, just one win behind the Cavaliers, who are seventh in the Eastern Conference. …,
Moreover, in the latest edition of the NBA League's official Player of the Week, Amare Stoudemire was successfully selected as the Eastern Conference Player of the Week for his last three efficient points and the team's three consecutive wins.
Wu Dawei was nominated, but only by nomination.
This gave some people another opportunity to complain about Wu Dawei, and James Matthews, a reporter for the Akron Beacon who was humiliated by Wu Dawei at the post-game press conference between the Heat and the Cavaliers, came out again after a long silence.
"Amare Stoudemire just won the league's Player of the Week award, while David Wu was only nominated. The two couldn't be as far apart at last week's table as their All-Star votes. It's just that this time it was the Knicks power forward who won by strength. The comparison between the two gives us a clear look at who is the better player, and there is no doubt about that. Wu's performance this season is indeed surprising, but it is not enough for him to get such a high number of votes, in fact we all know how his votes came from. There are a lot of fans in China, but I want to say, hey, Chinese, you can't think of the All-Star Game as your own backyard, it's a world game, and who can get to the Stamp Center next February, which one is not a superstar!? While it is true that the line-up is chosen by the wishes of the fans, I think we have to be mindful that we need to ensure the fairness of the vote and we can't let someone manipulate the vote! ”
James Matthews' words struck a chord with New York Knicks fan Spike Lee, who even said that the league should limit votes from China.
"Not all cats and dogs can be all-stars!" Spike Lee's arrogant rhetoric caused a stir in China with one stone, causing a huge shock in China.
Some people denounce these people for discriminating against Chinese fans, while others feel that they are right.
A reporter told Wu Dawei what these people said and asked him how he felt, but Wu Dawei did not answer anything, because he was busy getting on the Cavaliers' special plane and departing for the away game with the team again, and their destination was New York.
The Cleveland Cavaliers will be traveling to Madison Square Square for the second time this season!
Unlike the last game, which didn't get much attention, this game has received more attention.
David Wu and Amare Stoudemire are close on the All-Star ballots, and the two teams are currently seventh and eighth in the Eastern Conference, and the difference is just one win.
Maybe after this game, the seventh and eighth places in the East will switch places.
The importance of this game goes without saying, and there has been a lot of buzz about Wu Dawei's all-star ballot recently. Amare Stoudemire's vague displeasure with this, and New York's number one fan, Spike Lee's disdainful remarks about Wu Dawei, have made this match full of topics.
Of course, as the two parties to the All-Star vote that has been uproared in recent times, Wu Dawei or Amare Stoudemire who is the better and more qualified player to appear in the All-Star Game is the topic of most attention.
This game has attracted attention since Wu Dawei arrived in New York with his teammates, no way, who made Wu Dawei in the limelight recently? first defeated LeBron James and then topped the voting list, and if he achieved good results, he would naturally have jealous eyes.
It's like Spike Lee sitting in the audience on the night of the game.
