Chapter 245: Winning the Wizards, with a record of 20 wins
Date:2014-04-23
On the night of the 13th, the Knicks host the Pistons
Originally, for the Knicks, this game was basically a losing game, but, the result was beyond everyone's expectations, the Knicks beat the Pistons in an upset, and also let the Pistons only score 65 points in the whole game, which is the lowest score in a single game so far this season, the Pistons as an archer more balanced team, it shouldn't be like this, but I don't know what's going on, on this night, the Pistons' main team is in a collective slump, As it was said, there was no one who played normally, and even Billups only got 14 points and 4 assists, and the Pistons' Yan zhòng was abnormal, which made the Knicks' players feel crooked
Rodney Starkey played exceptionally well in this game against the Pistons, scoring a season-high 35 points, and 7 assists, it seems that Starkey has gradually regained his form, for his current teammates, Chen Jiyuan is not worried at all, Chen Jiyuan, who is familiar with their future, knows that if nothing else, they should not have too many problems, as long as they are slowly given time, Chen Jiyuan feels that they will all play a good number
However, the biggest regret is that Chen Jiyuan's draft this year basically does not have the cornerstone type of the team, whether it is Landry or Starkey, in Chen Jiyuan's plan, basically cannot escape the result of being traded
The Knicks and Pistons ended up with a full-time score of 89-65
After the Pistons gave up the game, the Knicks also gave up the game early, just leaving Starkey on the court, so that the kid could find confidence and as a result, Starkey lived up to expectations and successfully completed the mission, which seemed to be a complete recovery of confidence
After winning over the Pistons, the Knicks are getting closer and closer to this season's playoff ticket, and now the 19-win Knicks have completed half of the wins, as long as the Knicks can win 19 of the remaining 46 games, then the eighth place is basically guaranteed
If Chen Jiyuan can lead the Knicks to the playoffs in his first season with the Knicks, then Chen Jiyuan has reason to believe that he will be a qualified boss in the hearts of Knicks fans, and his low position in the Knicks will definitely become more and more stable
I have to say that Starkey did find confidence through the game with the Pistons, but he was slightly overconfident
In the game against the Wizards on the 15th, Starkey cooperated with Chen Jiyuan in the first quarter, but Starkey didn't return any passes, all of them broke in and did it alone, and Starkey was a little self-confident, shooting 5 three-pointers in the half, not scoring a goal, and a three-point shot
At halftime, Stucky was reprimanded by Thomas, and in the second half, he also pressed Stucky off the court, logically speaking, in the first half, point guard Sessions would not give Starkey so many opportunities to mess around, and in fact, Sessions did express his opposition to Starkey's nonsense, but the result was intentional by Chen Jiyuan, Chen Jiyuan would block and dismantle Starkey after receiving the ball, And handing the ball to Starkey, which gave Starkey a lot of opportunities in the first half
As for why Chen Jiyuan did this, of course Chen Jiyuan knew Starkey's mood, when he was a knight, he hit the show wall, so far Chen Jiyuan has not figured out why there is a show wall, Chen Jiyuan can break through the show wall, relying on that game, the whole team of the knights made a wedding dress for Chen Jiyuan, so that Chen Jiyuan completely played with confidence, and completely regained his state, in the last game, Starkey scored very high, it must be a big increase in information, if he is not given a lot of opportunities to shoot at this time, Let him know how many catties he has, I'm afraid he will complain because of the lack of ball possession Chen Jiyuan wants a harmonious wardrobe and don't let Starkey know the feeling of his crazy shot but misses, he won't know the result of many things, don't experience, just imagine, it won't work at all, so Chen Jiyuan just wants Starkey to experience this kind of thing in the first half, Starkey was 3 of 15, and only scored 8 points, but it took up a lot of shots
At the end of the half, the Knicks trailed the Wizards by 18 points, close to 20 points, and the score was 57:39, and the Knicks only scored 14 points in the first quarter of the game, and Chen Jiyuanzhi made 3 shots and hit 1 shot, scoring 6 points
In the second half, Starkey was pressed off the pitch for introspection and calm, and the offense on the pitch began to play a little more rationally
Chen Jiyuan began to exert his power in the second half, continuously causing fouls on the opponent on the inside. Brandon Haywood, who defended Chen Jiyuan, was beaten and cried dad and shouted mother, Heywood is 2.13 tall, weighs 122 kilograms, 268 pounds, and Chen Jiyuan's body size is about the same, but the dominance of the two people on the inside line is not at the same level at all, Chen Jiyuan easily broke Heywood on the offensive end, and the biggest highlight in the process of breaking Heywood is the set of footsteps used by Chen Jiyuan, Chen Jiyuan does not only use brute force in the low position, Chen Jiyuan, who is becoming more and more proficient in footsteps, feels that he is walking in the kind of steps that Olajuwon said, and he does not need to deliberately think about what kind of steps he wants to use, and feints have become part of his own movements, as he wants, anytime, anywhere, you can use it if you want to use it, and Chen Jiyuan's power on the offensive end will be greatly improved again
Chen Jiyuan scored 18 points in a row in the third quarter to help the team turn the difference into 8 points, and the score on the court became 78:86 At this time, the game ended with 51 seconds left in the third quarter
All the Wizards can rely on now is All-Star small forward Caron Butler, who is still in good shape, and last season's Caron Butler averaged 19.1 points and 7.4 rebounds per game, and Butler can still play star-level games
And the Wizards' current 20-16 record in the absence of General Arenas, in addition to Butler's credit, there is another person who has to mention, that is, Antoine Jamison's cousin Xiàn also helped the team achieve its current record on a big Cheng dù, and even later the Wizards relied on the efforts of these two people and the whole team to make the playoffs as fifth. Although he was eliminated by the Cavaliers in the first round, Jamison's average of 21.4 points and 10.2 rebounds per game this season is a great help to the Wizards, but the Wizards' defense is destined to not be able to go far in the playoffs
Just when everyone thought that the Wizards would enter the fourth quarter with a nearly 10-point advantage, there was such a person who went crazy, and that person was our Lord Crawford
Crawford first hit a three-pointer and then the Wizards missed, after Chen Jiyuan grabbed the rebound, he passed to Crawford, Crawford made a fast break layup in the last 24 seconds, the Wizards must have pressed to the last moment to shoot, and in fact, the Wizards did this, but, at the last moment, Caron Butler was in the process of offensive breakthrough, Crawford pulled the ball out behind him, Chen Jiyuan in front of Mason quickly pounced on the ground, controlled the basketball, but, At this time, it was seen that Chen Jiyuan had less experience, and Jamison quickly pounced on the ground, and then stretched out his hand to the basketball, at this time the referee sounded the whistle, as the experienced Jamison expected, the referee of this ball was a scrum for the ball, at this time there were so many people around, in fact, Chen Jiyuan should have thrown the ball out earlier, instead of holding Chen Jiyuan in his arms, he looked at the referee innocently after getting up, and then he could only accept the referee's punishment, at this time, there were only the last 3.2 seconds left
Chen Jiyuan knows that his experience is not enough, but this can only be accumulated slowly, there is no other way Fortunately, Chen Jiyuan still won the ball Jamison's Crawford received the ball pulled by Chen Jiyuan, and quickly ran to the front half, and then there was still a large part of the three-point line, and when he saw that it was too late, he could only shoot Sometimes the luck of this thing, you really can't say that this ball tm it went in
The 8-point advantage that the Wizards originally maintained was lost in an instant, and the Wizards returned to the bench with low morale, and the Wizards' players all asked in their hearts: "Where did the advantage go?" Where did the 8 points go? Where have they all gone? ”
In the Knicks' final minute, Crawford scored eight points to tie the score in one fell swoop, and the two sides entered the fourth quarter with a score of 86-86
In the third quarter, Starkey didn't get playing time for the entire quarter, and Thomas felt that Starkey's mind had calmed down and he should know how to play
So in the fourth quarter, Thomas still let Starkey play, but at the same time, there was also Ramon Sessions in the manufacturer's amount, and this time Sessions would never give the score that was hard to recover to Kicky Hawk Sessions's steady style of play, allowing both the Knicks and the Wizards to leave the suspense of the game at the last moment
With 14 seconds left in the clock, the Knicks and the Wizards fought to a 105-all tie, and the final ball was the Knicks' ball, which would determine whether to play overtime or the Knicks' victory, and the Wizards would definitely defend desperately
The last ball, according to Thomas's arrangement, was handed over to Chen Jiyuan in this game, and Chen Jiyuan's performance was still very good, scoring 28 points with a very high shooting rate
Although it was decided to give Chen Jiyuan a shot, but before the time was up, first Sessions came out to catch the ball, and after receiving the ball, Sessions began to dangle outside the three-point line, wasting time, until there were still 7 seconds left, Chen Jiyuan quickly came to the three-point line to receive the ball, and the rest of the people pulled away now that the Wizards did not dare to take Chen Jiyuan lightly, Crawford found his touch in the second half today, in the fourth quarter, Crawford scored a lot of points, but Haywood was alone in this defense, when there were 4 seconds left, Chen Jiyuan started to understand, Chen Jiyuan took a step forward, and then quickly retreated, jumped and threw the ball, the ball hit the front of the basket, jumped very high, and then fell, the ball just entered the basket impartially, the red light lit up, Chen Jiyuan successfully helped the team kill the Wizards
Chen Jiyuan shouted when he stood in the center of the venue
“eonbaby”
The fans at home also followed Chen Jiyuan and shouted this sentence, and now this sentence has basically become Chen Jiyuan's signature language, everyone knows that Chen Jiyuan will shout this sentence when he is excited, and the Knicks won the Wizards with a score of 107:105, and successfully extended the winning streak to 4 games
