Chapter 299 equalized

On April 27, the Knicks continued to play at home against the Cavaliers in Game 4 of the first round of the playoffs.

This game, speaking of it, can be regarded as an upset, James played very sluggishly today, it feels like a ** without a win, logically speaking, if the Cavaliers can win this game, then the Cavaliers will have half a foot in the semifinals of the East, but James seems to care about this game, it feels like he is deliberately letting the Knicks.

In the first half, James still had some fighting spirit, and Chandler's defense was like paper paste in front of James. However, at halftime, the Cavaliers led the Knicks by 11 points. For the Knicks, it was as if the whole season was going to end early.

However, in the third quarter, there was a sudden change in the situation. James doesn't know what's going on, when he gets off the court, he rarely rushes inside, let alone inside, and even rarely shoots on the outside, and passes more to teammates, although this approach helped him get a few assists, but the result was that at the end of the third quarter, the Knicks overtook the score. The Knicks went into the final quarter with a one-point lead at 78-77.

James scored 21 points in the first half, which was James' normal play, but in the third quarter, James shot 0 of 3 and scored zero points. Zero points in a single quarter can be said to be a very rare thing for James. What's even rarer is that James still didn't adjust in the fourth quarter. James didn't know what was going on in the entire fourth quarter, and it was a mess, even so, the Knicks still didn't win the game easily, although James was not in shape, but Gibson was very in shape, and even a little better than that.

Unlike James, today's Gibson is full of fighting spirit and overflowing.

Gibson scored 11 points in the first quarter and continued to score nine points in the second quarter. The Cavaliers relied on James and Gibson to lead by 11 points in the first half, but in the third quarter, James was silent, and even so, Gibson was still struggling to support. Gibson scored seven points in the third quarter. Gibson scored 27 points after the third quarter. However, what is even more terrifying is Gibson's table in the fourth quarter, because James's duck egg in the third quarter made the Knicks pay great attention to James's actions, and they are very worried that James will have an explosion in the fourth quarter or something.

However, the Knicks guessed wrong, the Cavaliers did have someone to break out, but it was not James, but Gibson, who hit 4 three-pointers in a row and successfully helped the team overtake the score. With one minute left in the game, Gibson hit another three-pointer to give the Cavaliers a three-point lead over the Knicks. Just when everyone thought that the Cavaliers had won the game, Chen Jiyuan was unwilling to fail, and Chen Jiyuan first hit a big two-point shot. Then he covered James' layup, and Sessions scored on a fast break. The Knicks put the score on top again.

In the final moments, Gibson hit a two-pointer with 11.2 seconds left to help the Cavaliers regain the initiative in the game. This ball was supposed to be James shot, but James's state at the last moment was not good, and Gibson's hot hand was also a fact that everyone saw, so after James dribbled the ball, he handed it to Gibson to attack, and when Gibson received the ball, there was not much offensive time left, so Gibson just slapped the ball and shot, this large two-point shot was shot against Sessions' defense, the arc was very high, and finally it fell into the basket steadily.

The Cavaliers who hit the ball would have won the game. Gibson's superplay came close to helping the Cavaliers reach the Eastern Conference semifinals with half a foot. Unfortunately, the Knicks' last-minute burst of power was astonishing.

Sessions' heart was unusually big, and the last ball, Chen Jiyuan was blocked by death, and Chen Jiyuan's running back and forth had no chance to catch the ball at all, and Chen Jiyuan was always surrounded by two people. It can be seen how much attention the knights attach to Chen Jiyuan's defense at the last critical moment, mainly because Chen Jiyuan's key ball does have a very high hit rate, and Chen Jiyuan has repeatedly had amazing performances at the last critical moment. This is also the reason why the opponent will not let Chen Jiyuan go. In such a situation, Sessions actually chose to disobey the manager's order and broke through with the ball himself.

This ball, after Sessions broke through into the inside line, a stop-and-go jump shot, before the shot, because Sessions had rushed into the inside, so Ilgoskas's attention was slightly looking at Sessions's side, and when Sessions made a shot, Ilgoskas was ready to turn around and grab the rebound, but found that Chen Jiyuan was one step ahead of himself, stuck in a favorable position, and was ready to grab this rebound. and Chen Jiyuan had a fierce scramble. However, Chen Jiyuan seized the opportunity, and Ilgoskas was not so easy to snatch it back.

After Sessions shot, the ball spun and flew in the air, and slowly came to the basket, Chen Jiyuan and Ilgoskas under the basket looked at the ball intently, whether they scored or not, Chen Jiyuan and Ilgoskas had to use all their strength to grab a good rebounding position.

"When-" The ball smacked the frame, but it still popped out. At this point, time is running out.

Because in the past, Thomas's tactic was to get on when he had the opportunity and not to delay time, but Chen Jiyuan never found a good opportunity to catch the ball, which delayed a lot of time in the invisible sword. By the time Sessions finally decided to do it himself, there wasn't much time left. This is destined to be the last offensive.

And now after Sessions made a shot, the ball didn't go in. After Chen Jiyuan jumped up, he supported Ilgoskas with one hand and lightly tapped the basketball with the other. Pulled the ball into the basket, and Chen Jiyuan's left hand blocked Ilgoskas, leaving Ilgoskas with no way to interfere with the rebound. The ball was steadily added by Chen Jiyuan.

The Knicks also relied on Chen Jiyuan's rebound to successfully defend the home court and tied the score at 2:2.

After Chen Jiyuan successfully made a basket, he still gave the Cavaliers 1.8 seconds left. Unfortunately, Gibson shot again and the ball did not go in. The Cavaliers failed to make a final attempt, and the Knicks managed to win narrowly on their home court.

After the big score was tied 2:2, the two sides returned to the same running line.
