Chapter 483: The Third Battle
Chen Jiyuan is now a head and two big. The situation that was already a headache made Chen Jiyuan really speechless.
In the end, Mr. Chen Jiyuan, who is extremely smart, decisively came up with a good solution.
Chen Jiyuan didn't care about the other three women at all, trained his own and drove the three women out of the stadium completely. Let them not disturb their training.
Chen Jiyuan now just needs to be able to prepare well for the next playoff game.
In the home game, Chen Jiyuan must win the game. If they can defend all of New York's home court, then the Knicks will directly advance to the next round.
Speaking of which, the Knicks entered the playoffs last year with 46 wins, but were eliminated by the Cavaliers in the first round. And this year, the Knicks and Cavaliers met in the second round, which can be regarded as the Knicks' revenge battle.
If you really want to say it, the resentment of New York Knicks fans against the Cavaliers is definitely very deep.
Last year, Chen Jiyuan and other New York Knicks players were tired and tired, and they successfully brought the New York Knicks into the playoffs.
However, he was eliminated by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round. This can be said that the fans of the New York Knicks came with excitement and returned disappointed. And the culprit of this qiΔ is the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are coming to New York for a game.
Whether or not you can get revenge this year, these three home games in New York will be very crucial winners and losers. And the last of them is very important. No matter what the first two home games look like. Even if it's a little closer, it's one win and one loss. It's almost impossible for the New York Knicks to lose both games. Two consecutive home defeats in the playoffs are generally between teams with a huge difference in strength.
After one win and one loss, this final home game will become the team's battle for Tianwang Mountain, which can be said to determine the trend of the series in the extreme dΓΉ.
But even if you think about it, you have to wait until you win the game. Because we haven't played a home game in New York yet.
After Chen Jiyuan's training was over, the three women treated Chen Jiyuan's home as if it were their own. Chen Jiyuan deeply doubted whether he was not in his own home, but in someone else's home.
Fortunately, the three women also knew that Chen Jiyuan was now at the most critical moment, and they definitely didn't want to bother him. And the next day is the game, and I don't want to distract the three of them too much today.
The next day, the New York Knicks host the Cleveland Cavaliers. In this game, the New York Knicks hope to continue to win with the morale of winning away from home in the last game.
But the Cleveland Cavaliers clearly don't want that.
In this game, before the game started, the Cleveland players had a good experience of the warm welcome of the New York fans.
When James entered the stadium, the fans in the stadium gave quite strong boos. It seems that he is quite dissatisfied with the Cavaliers' elimination of the Knicks last season.
On the other hand, when the New York players played, it was a real cheer.
When Chen Jiyuan appeared, the voice of the MVP of the audience was not interrupted.
Although this year's regular season MVP winner was James, that didn't stop New York fans from cheering for what they thought was the true MVP. In their hearts, Chen Jiyuan's cousin this year is the MVP of New York. It's the MVP in their hearts.
By the time the game was about to start, the starting lineups for both sides were out.
The starting lineup on the New York Knicks side remains unchanged, Chen Jiyuan, Love, Sessions, Starkey, Stephen Jackson.
The Cleveland Cavaliers started James, Alexander Pavlovich, Mo Williams, Zajunas Ilgoskas and Anderson Vallejo.
The starting line-ups of both sides have not changed in this series, which is also due to the fact that the two sides have played each other a lot more, and the current starting lineup is certainly the starting lineup after careful consideration by the head coach.
When jumping the ball. Chen Jiyuan was still able to easily win against Zajunas Ilgoskas, and with Zajunas Ilgoskas's speed, Chen Jiyuan was really not challenging to win him. Unless Chen Jiyuan makes a mistake himself, otherwise, Chen Jiyuan and Zajunas Ilgoskas jump ball, Chen Jiyuan will definitely be able to give the Knicks the right to attack first.
The Knicks attacked first, after Sessions dribbled the ball through the half court, he passed the ball to Starki on the right side, and after Starkey received the ball, he dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, and then after taking two steps, Chen Jiyuan stepped forward to block Starkey, blocking Alexander Pavlovich who was chasing Starkey, and then Chen Jiyuan quickly moved to the right bottom line and pulled the defender away, Starki misplaced Zajunas Ilgoskas, and Zajunas Ilgoskas's footsteps were not good, and then now Starki is still small and big, Naturally, it was more dominant when it was not called, and Starki swayed back and forth left and right, and Zajunas Ilgoskas was a little dizzy, and then Starki rushed up directly, and a right-handed layup. The ball wipes the board and goes into the basket. 2:0γ
Zajunas Ilgoskas's defense has become more and more difficult, Zajunas Ilgoskas himself is not a player known for his foot movement, and now that he is getting older, his feet are naturally moving more slowly.
On the defensive end, Zajunas Ilgoskas relies more on his height to interfere with attacking players as a way to alleviate the problems caused by his slow footwork.
When the Cavaliers attacked, Mo Williams passed the ball to James, and James dribbled the ball back and forth in front of Stephen Jackson, and then suddenly put up a jumper, which was a big two-point shot, and James was obviously trying to see how he felt.
And the ball went into the basket safely. 2:2γ
At the beginning of the game, both sides played relatively fast, and the offensive transition was very fast, Chen Jiyuan and James felt good today, and James scored 10 points in 4 of 5 in the first half of the game. And Chen Jiyuan also scored 11 points in the half quarter, and his shooting rate of 5 of 7 was definitely qualified.
There was a big battle between the two men. And the reason for this is because the defensive strategies of both sides have changed a little bit.
Both the Knicks and the Cavaliers chose to change their tactics, and Thibodeau won the second game without including James, so in this game, Thibodeau still implemented the tactics of not wrapping up.
The Cavaliers, on the other hand, paid the price for the tactical confusion of the previous game.
When Chen Jiyuan was in a high position, the Cavaliers' players didn't know whether they should be clamped or not.
Even head coach Brown himself is hesitating and confused. Because of the bag clip, Chen Jiyuan is really not the kind of player who is blind when he holds the ball. Or on the contrary, when Chen Jiyuan holds the ball, you need to pay more attention to Chen Jiyuan's movements, Chen Jiyuan can attack and pass, which is a headache.
When Chen Jiyuan assisted his teammates to score very easily in the high position, the Knight's bag began to change, and the bag was not resolute. It's not fast enough.
In this game, Brown developed a strategy from the beginning, not wrapping up, and letting Anderson Vallejo defend Chen Jiyuan alone.
When Zajunas Ilgoskas defended Chen Jiyuan alone, although Chen Jiyuan would be more difficult in shooting selection, if Chen Jiyuan used his footsteps to pass Zajunas Ilgoskas, then Chen Jiyuan's threat would be too great, and Anderson Vallejo was young.
After the end of the half-quarter, the Knicks temporarily led the Cavaliers by one point. The score was 13:12.
However, at the end of the half, the Cavaliers replaced Daniel Gibson as usual. Thibodeau was also replaced by Tony Allen at the same time. Replace Starkey at the break.
Gibson came on the court as if he had been beaten up.
After receiving James' breakaway from the outside, he hit three three-pointers in a row. In an instant, he hit the Knicks with a small 9:0 orgasm in two minutes. And if you want to say, James and Gibson have completed this period of offense,
James's breakthrough is honestly still a big threat, here James and Zajunas Ilgoskas a block, or James directly on his own acceleration breakthrough, and then to Gibson, originally after the first goal was scored, Tony Allen has been very closely defended Gibson, but it is still difficult to stop Gibson's goal, Gibson's second goal is under the strict defense of Tony Allen, shook for a while, and the third is a direct difficult backward jumper.
The Knicks, who made three three-pointers in a row, didn't make any moves.
The score was 13:12 just now, and it became 13:21 in an instant. The change was a bit big, and the fans just blinked. Why has it changed dramatically?
However, although the Knicks were beaten by the Cavaliers within two minutes, it did not mean that the team was really killed.
Although the team is permeated with an air of urgency in the name of it. However, there are also people who are not affected by this breath. That's Sessions.
Although Sessions also wants to recover the lost points, Sessions is very calm and knows very well that he must not rush now.
Sessions himself suppressed the rhythm, and then motioned for Chen Jiyuan to step forward, at this time, it was better to give the ball to the player with the greatest possibility of scoring a goal.
After Chen Jiyuan received the ball, he singled Anderson Vallejo. The left foot is the pivot foot, after probing for a while, he suddenly accelerated, walked to the right side, and then pressed Anderson Vallejo against him, and Anderson Vallejo couldn't jump up with his strength, and then, Chen Jiyuan's right hand hooked in the one-handed run, and successfully sent the ball into the basket. 15:21γ
Chen Jiyuan's is a beginning, at least breaking the Knicks' scoring drought.
After the Cavaliers hit three three-pointers in a row, there was a scoring break, James broke through to Gibson, and Gibson wanted to hit a fourth three-pointer, but obviously everything couldn't go as planned. Gibson's three-pointer didn't go in under the interference of Tony Allen.
As early as when Gibson made a shot, Chen Jiyuan had already jammed Zajunas Ilgoskas, and then successfully grabbed the rebound.
Chen Jiyuan passed the ball to Stephen Jackson, who was running in front, but Stephen Jackson received the ball, a back dribble, in order to pass Mo Williams, Stephen Jackson came to a back dribble, but after the ball passed behind him, it was a little out of Stephen Jackson's control, and the ball was pulled off by Anderson Vallejo.
The Cavaliers regained possession of the offense.
Stephen Jackson quickly returned to defence after conceding the ball and James received a long pass from Mo Williams. Then shoot straight three-pointers. But alas, James's three-point shot also missed.
Chen Jiyuan grabbed the rebound again.
This time, Chen Jiyuan did not pass forward, but passed the ball to Sessions. Sessions moved forward little by little, and after halftime, Sessions made a three-pointer, but missed.
Both sides seemed to be caught in a cold rhythm, and Chen Jiyuan's two-point ball didn't seem to have a big effect.
