Chapter 671: Win the first game
The difference is now 8 points!
There are less than 35 seconds left!
That means a lot, the most critical of which is that the Thunder can't solve the game in the usual way, and they need to race against time right now.
Damn it!
He actually chose to block and dismantle!
Yi Jianlian chose to play alone for a long time in this game, and almost never called the blocking, which also made the players on the court of the Thunder team not think about that aspect at all, but now, at this most critical time, he used the blocking and dismantling again, which is something that none of them expected!
And it was also this unexpected decision that caused this team to have the biggest problem on the defensive end at the most critical time!
And the impact of this problem is fatal!
Because there are only 35 seconds left!
Although the ball is theirs, with the New York Knicks' style of play, they can complete an offense at most if they don't do something after completing the offense this time.
Two attacks can recover 5 points, but definitely not 8 points!
In other words, the New York Knicks' goal made the Thunder lose the ability to win the game through regular matchups, which also made the team have to adopt some other methods in the next time, such as pressing, or foul tactics or something!
"In short, it's very unfavorable for the Thunder right now, their miscalculation on the defensive end allowed Yi to complete an excellent offense, and also forced themselves into a corner where there is no way back, which is likely to be the final turning point of this game!"
"As I said earlier, if they prevent Yi's attack, then even if there are less than 35 seconds left in the game, the gap of 5 points is not impossible to make up! It's a pity that now, if you want to make up for such a difference, it's really not something that can be done under ordinary circumstances! ”
"The Thunder are extremely passive!"
"And Yi, obviously completed another great performance, his calmness at the critical moment let us see that he came to the stage of the finals again, his performance has become more mature, this is his transformation, and this transformation has also made him more calm on the stage of the finals!"
Kenny Smith is naturally no longer optimistic about the current situation of the Thunder team, after all, he wants to chase 8 points in 35 seconds, which is really not something that anyone can do!
Unless you call Maddie over and re-enact the miracles of the past!
But that was also during the regular season, and now it's the finals, so it's hard to say whether he can accomplish the same thing!
In addition, he is not stingy with Yi Nature, and he has several compliments, of course, for such Yi Jianlian, what kind of praise is not exaggerated!
There were also huge cheers at the scene, and the fans of the New York Knicks knew very well that this goal was a shot to seal the victory for this team!
After the difference reaches 8 points, it is difficult for the Thunder team to complete any comeback in the remaining time, which means that the Thunder team can get the final victory!
The significance of winning the first game of the finals is self-evident!
In the eyes of New York Knicks fans, this is the harbinger that the New York Knicks will make history and win the championship trophy for the second year in a row!
And because of that!
After Yi Jianlian completed this shot, the entire arena resounded with a shout for him:
“mvp!”
“mvp!”
“mvp!”
Yi Jianlian replied with a serious expression, he didn't have any change in expression because of these voices, and the reason was very simple, the game was still going on, so he couldn't let his guard down!
……
"Ball!"
Kevin Durant was a little anxious, he took the ball directly from the backcourt, he has a lot of thoughts in his heart now, but at the same time as crossing the halfway, he suppressed these thoughts again, for him, it is empty to think about anything now, what he has to do now is to get the score of this round and close the point difference, so that he can think about what to do next!
It's just that Kevin Durant just crossed the middle line, and Yi Jianlian was directly entangled, Kevin Durant didn't expect Yi Jianlian to be so decisive, and directly came up to put pressure on his body, he barely stabilized his body, leaned back against Yi Jianlian, and after adapting to the physical strength given by the latter, he began to look for opportunities to attack!
He didn't stay in place for too long like the last attack, and the reason was very simple, time was the most important thing for him now, and no matter what he wasted, he couldn't waste time!
It's just that he desperately wants to find a time to shoot, Yi Jianlian knows it, and the defensive intensity he gives has not become smaller with Kevin Durant's actions, but has become bigger and bigger, and even at the end, Kevin Durant has to rely on his other hand to block Yi Jianlian when he makes moves.
And Yi Jianlian's defense is very sophisticated, he retreats every time he touches it, and does not give any referee a chance to blow the whistle at all!
What's more, at the critical moment of this game, the referees did not dare to stand up and blow the whistle casually, if they dared to affect the game at such a time, they must be prepared to be bombarded by the fans after the game!
Of course, there is no shortage of such referees in the history of the NBA, however, this will not appear at such a time, because at this time, even if the whistle is blown, it is useless, the number of fouls committed by the Knicks has not yet arrived, and if the whistle is blown, it is really impossible to complete the second offense with the remaining offensive time of the Thunder team.
Yi Jianlian also saw this, there was a chance to foul, so he would defend so tightly, and the reason was very simple, he was not afraid of the referee's whistle!
"Huh!"
Kevin Durant went around and finally put the ball in the basket.
The point difference went from 8 to 6.
It's just that although Kevin Durant hit the ball, Yi Jianlian's face did not become serious, but the players on the Thunder side became more nervous and serious!
Because, after Kevin Durant completely attacked this time, there were only 20 seconds left in the game, and Kevin Durant desperately looked for the possibility of a quick attack, but it still took nearly 15 seconds to find an opportunity to attack!
With 20 seconds left in the game, 6 points behind, it was still the Knicks' possession, which is why these guys couldn't laugh!
Their situation is even more dangerous!
"Foul!"
Brooks, who was off the field, shouted directly to the field!
At this point, it is obvious that he is planning to break the can, otherwise, he would not have thought of using "foul tactics", in fact, every team that uses foul tactics at the last minute is forced to do so, otherwise, why would they let the opponent score free throws?
Isn't it about buying time and betting on your opponent's free-throw percentage?
Dragic was the one with the ball, and after he was fouled, he stepped out of the free throw line and made both free throws into the basket!
And these two goals also returned to 8 points, which made the game completely lose suspense, the Thunder team also made a scramble, Kevin Durant forced a three-point shot in the face of Yi Jianlian.
"Bang dang!"
The ball was not bad, but it was a pity that the ball was still deflected in the end, and after this goal was not scored, the Thunder did not foul again, and it was clear that they were not going to attack again, and they gave up this game!
The ball was handed over to Yi Jianlian in the last 10 seconds, and the audience at the scene also let out a huge cheer while he held the ball, and when the final whistle blew, the cheers of the audience completely drowned out the entire stadium!
The first game of the finals of the 2011~2012 season has reached the final result, and the New York Knicks have won the final victory with a 110-102, 8-point advantage!
Yi Jianlian played a strong role in this game, he got 48 points, 12 rebounds and 9 assists, although there was no triple-double, but his calm performance in the final minute of the fourth quarter of the game amazed the commentators on the spot, and also laid the foundation for the victory of the New York Knicks.
And at the same time as he threw the ball away from the two teams, the scene also resounded with shouts for him:
“mvp!”
“mvp!”
“mvp!”
……
Kenny Smith looked at the fanatical attitude of the New York fans on the scene towards Yi Jianlian, and said again: "Sometimes I have to say that Yi is really the scariest guy on the planet, he is a natural basketball player, and the reason is very simple, he can make the fans of the entire Big Apple City so surrendered, which reminds me of Michael Jordan's last season here, their fanatical shouts for Michael Jordan, and now this scene, compared to that time, is not bad at all, Yi has indeed rewritten the city!" ”
"He's also filled the city with new legends!" Barkley on the side said, "One thing that no one can refute, Yi is the best representative of one person and one team in modern basketball, and he is still proving that a single-core team has the possibility of winning!" ”
Barkley described the New York Knicks as a single-core team, of course, there is nothing wrong with this, because this team is out of Yi Jianlian, there is really no guy who can enter the All-Star, there was last season, but this season is gone, Xiao Si's season reimbursement, so that this team only has one All-Star left, although the other players have some strength, but they are still a little worse!
Barkley also used "the best representative of one person and one team in modern basketball" to form an easy alliance!
This point is actually particularly obvious in today's game, except for Yi Jianlian, none of the other players have scored 15 points, of course, there are still two players with more than 10 points, and there are 4 players with more than 8 points, although these guys do not score much, but it is they who make this team's "single core" vividly reflected!
……
The Thunder walked out of the away tunnel, and they all looked frustrated.
Kevin Durant scored 35 points today, and in terms of offensive performance alone, he is not much worse than Yi Jianlian, but the team's loss let him know that Yi Jianlian is still the Yi Jianlian who won, and he is still the Kevin Durant who lost!
If only I hadn't struggled!
Kevin Durant wasn't really happy with his performance today, because he didn't do anything on the court for a long time, and during that time, his contribution was negative!
Although this can be described as his first time attacking the finals and needing to adapt, if he hadn't been in a slump during that time, maybe they would have won this game!
Damn it!
This made him feel guilty!
Another self-blame is Westbrook, who, like Kevin Durant, also had a period of discomfort with the intensity of the Finals and the pace of the game, which made him play a bad game for a while, if it wasn't for the 15-point difference in that time, then maybe they would have won this game!
Damn it!
James Harden ended up scoring 8 points today, and he can't remember the last time he scored in single digits!
Needless to say, his performance tonight was very bad, and the Thunder were overtaken and fell behind from the time he came off the bench!
Although Kevin Durant and Westbrook also had varying degrees of discomfort tonight, compared to those two, Harden is obviously the more serious one!
For such a situation, Harden obviously didn't expect it, after he played with the Grizzlies, he always felt that the Finals were just like that, but now it seems that the reason why the Finals is the Finals is really not other playoffs, even if it is the Western Conference Finals can be compared!
Here you will meet the strongest team from the East!
He's kicked the iron plate today!
Damn it!
……
While the "Thunder Three Youths" kept scolding damn in their hearts, Yi Jianlian also began to be interviewed by ESPN at the scene.
"Yi, congratulations, winning the first game of the Finals, it's a very good start, especially in the NBA Finals, do you think you're going to win the championship?"
"Of course, that's for sure!"
"How many games do you think you're going to knock out the Thunder?"
"I hope it's in the fourth game, and of course, in the fifth game as well, at least for our fans to see!"
"The Thunder played well in the second half of the third quarter of the game, and if they kept that momentum going, would you still have that confidence?"
"Well, they did do well during that time, but, one thing that you're overlooking is that we, or rather I didn't do well during that time, you know what I'm talking about? Okay, I can be clear, it's true that the Thunder played well during that time, and I have to admit that, but the reason any team is doing well is because their opponents didn't play well during that time, but when their opponents played well, they didn't play well! The reason you think the Thunder played well in the second half of the third quarter is because they played better than us in the second half, but at other times you don't feel that way because we played better! So they can't keep playing like that, and we may be in a slump, but more often than they are! ”
