Chapter 607
The Knicks have had their biggest crisis since the start of the season.
After winning against the Nets, many people felt that the Knicks would continue to raise the sails and continue to sail.
Especially after hearing the information that Sessions can already participate in training, people are looking forward to the Knicks' next game.
However, people are not as good as heaven, and no one thought that in the next game, the Knicks did not show the domineering they should have at all. The strength of the Eastern Conference champion and the strong contender for the championship that should have been shown was not seen at all.
Speaking of the root cause, it is very simple, it is because Chen Jiyuan did not play well.
Chen Jiyuan's abnormality made the whole team a little paralyzed in an instant.
Chen Jiyuan not only has a low desire to attack in every game, but also has the phenomenon of distraction, which is simply impossible for Chen Jiyuan in the past.
Many people are concerned about what happened to Chen Jiyuan, but no one knows. Because there are only two people who know the truth, one is Chen Jiyuan. One is Britney Dolan.
Chen Jiyuan has never been so shaken as he is now.
Chen Jiyuan himself didn't know why this was the case, Chen Jiyuan always felt that he had cultivated strong enough, he could maintain a peaceful heartbeat in any situation, he could play normally on the field, and he could lead the team forward.
But Chen Jiyuan didn't expect that this incident would have such a big impact on him, and he couldn't concentrate all his energy on basketball on the court, and he would always see Britney's resoluteness when she said those words that day in front of her eyes from time to time.
Chen Jiyuan didn't know why he cared so much, but he just couldn't let go.
In the game with the Hawks, Chen Jiyuan lost his level, scored 8 points on 4-of-18 shooting in the game, and did not score a single free throw, for a free throw maker who averaged 6.8 free throws per game this season, such data is really unbearable to look at.
In this game, under the leadership of Chen Jiyuan, the Knicks lost the game decisively. Although the Knicks have been struggling, it has not worked, and in the fourth quarter of the game, the gap between the two sides has remained at this 8-point gap. The Knicks have never been able to close that gap. In the end, I could only reluctantly accept the bitter fruit of failure.
Everyone thought that this was just an occasional abnormal performance of Chen Jiyuan, after all, who couldn't have a game or two games that was a little absent-minded. As the saying goes, who doesn't eat dumplings during the New Year. Chen Jiyuan is so powerful, it doesn't matter if he is abnormal occasionally.
However, no one thought that this was just the beginning, not the end, and the nightmare continued.
In the next game with the Pacers, Chen Jiyuan once again showed his abnormal side, playing soy sauce all over the court, shooting 7 times, hitting 3 balls, and getting 9 points and 8 rebounds. The record for consecutive rebounds and double-doubles was also broken. As for the record of consecutive double-doubles, it was interrupted in the last game. In this game, the Knicks once again lost to the Pacers in a shocking way, causing an upset. To everyone's great disappointment.
At the post-match press conference, Chen Jiyuan was also very silent, and did not intend to make any similar explanations for his abnormal performance, but the expression of disappointment was still overflowing on Chen Jiyuan's face.
After ending this game, Chen Jiyuan still did not wake up, and in the next game with the Bobcats. Chen Jiyuan made 9 shots again, hit 3 goals, and scored 10 points. And grabbed 7 rebounds. This time, Chen Jiyuan's data finally scored double-double.
But it's useless.
The Knicks still lost the game. Chen Jiyuan, who only shot less than ten times, can not play a role in attracting the opponent's defensive attention, to say that the offensive start point and end point, Chen Jiyuan is a very good choice, but now Chen Jiyuan is absent-minded, and his mind is not on basketball, which makes the Knicks's choice one less in an instant, and it is the best one less. In such a situation, it is no wonder that the team does not lose.
So, in a wave of three consecutive defeats, the Knicks came to the climax of public opinion. Chen Jiyuan also came to the climax of bad remarks.
However, there are those who sarcastically and insult Chen Jiyuan, and there are those who support Chen Jiyuan. There is nothing new in the debate between them. That's it.
Questioning a player doesn't have any effect, the player is still making so much money and won't get less paid because of your questioning.
What's more, for superstars, doubts never go away. Everything is relative, and if there is this, there will be that. There are positive and negative opportunities.
There are those who are in favor, there are those who are against it,
If you like something, you will have a hate,
However, no matter what, Chen Jiyuan's performance is still very worrying to fans.
Just after the Knicks' three-game losing streak, there was finally good news.
The team's back-serve point guard, Sessions, is finally ready to play. Although Sessions may need a little time to adapt to the return to the field, at least the team's strength has improved.
That's still something to be happy about.
And after Chen Jiyuan's continuous disappointment, Sessions finally made all the New York fans happy.
After losing to the Bobcats, the team will face the Rockets next.
Yao Ming was unable to play because of an injury.
However, even so, this game is still very popular with the Chinese people, because after Yao Ming became famous in the Rockets, many Chinese fans unconsciously regarded the Rockets as the Chinese team in the NBA.
Chen Jiyuan's performance in this game is still so tepid. However, Sessions, who has just made a comeback, has shown unparalleled combat effectiveness.
Perhaps it was because he didn't play for too long, but as soon as he got on the court, Sessions showed a very strong desire to fight.
Sessions had a double-double throughout the game, with 22 points and 11 assists, as well as four steals and five rebounds. Successfully helped the team win the game.
Chen Jiyuan only scored 7 points and 7 rebounds in the whole game. This data is already helpless.
Everyone can't bear it, the last time Chen Jiyuan had this situation was two years ago, Chen Jiyuan was still a rookie at that time, Chen Jiyuan at that time bumped into rookie Qiu'an, and Chen Jiyuan at that time got a little bit of pitiful points in every game like now.
However, even Chen Jiyuan, who hit the rookie wall at that time, still has a considerable desire to fight and a desire to shoot.
And the current Chen Jiyuan is not unconfident in himself. It's completely distracted from basketball at all, which is fatal.
In this case, the person the Knicks can rely on has become Sessions.
Sessions has been very competitive in the early stages of the season, and the improvement has been very noticeable and huge. No one knows why, just one season of vacation, just that one vacation, can make a young man who was originally considered by everyone to have no potential and no future become the current all-round data star who can average 16.9 points, 7.7 assists and 5.2 rebounds per game.
However, it is useless to explore why now, and it turns out that Sessions is not only no longer the second-round finisher, but one of the best rookies in that class.
After winning against the Rockets, the Knicks met the Thunder, and the Thunder had already begun to emerge. It's just that it's not time for this season yet, and we have to wait for a season, and next season's Thunder will be considered the time when the Thunder will take shape. And the third youngest, Harden, is also starting to shine gradually.
This season, the Thunder are still half-dead and in the rebuilding stage.
There's no suspense for the Knicks to win this game.
Although Chen Jiyuan himself is now in a state of half-dead.
After such a long time, Chen Jiyuan has never forgotten what Britney said that day: "If you win the championship, I will quit the Knicks management." ”
Chen Jiyuan absolutely couldn't imagine that Britney Dolan, who was trying to get control of the Knicks by any means necessary, was willing to quit the Knicks management for herself. What kind of determination is this, sometimes, such a heavy love, will give you a very heavy shackle on the object of love. Now, Chen Jiyuan is carrying this shackle on his body.
The next game between the Knicks and the Philadelphia 76ers is really quite interesting.
Chen Jiyuan is still playing soy sauce on the court, and Sessions and Starkey are the protagonists of this game.
The duel between the two is really the feeling of Mars hitting the earth.
On the field, two people are also a position.
Starkey started playing point guard when he was with the 76ers. The transformation has not been very successful, but it has already begun.
Two people, one wants to prove that it was a mistake for you not to give me the maximum salary in the first place, and the other wants to prove that he is better than the kid who got out.
So, the two began to fight each other.
In the end, it should be considered that Sessions has a slight advantage.
After all, with the data of the two sides almost the same, Sessions was on the team, and the Knicks won the game.
Starkey finished the game with 33 points, six assists and four rebounds.
Sessions, on the other hand, had a quasi-triple-double of 21 points, 13 assists and 8 rebounds in this game.
If you just look at the data, it's hard to say who wins and loses, after all, one is comprehensive, and the other has an advantage in scoring.
It is obvious that the two of them on the field are not convinced by each other, and even two defensive actions against each other are also very large, and the atmosphere on the whole court is not very harmonious.
