Chen Jiyuan, who walked to the free throw line, also hit the ball steadily.

In the first quarter of the game, Chen Jiyuan's performance was very eye-catching.

In order to limit Chen Jiyuan, the Lakers have also thought of a lot of ways, but there is no particularly effective way.

This is mainly because Chen Jiyuan is indeed very comprehensive, almost comprehensive, a bit like a human being.

After Chen Jiyuan held the ball, whether it was Chen Jiyuan's low-post singles, high-level singles, or high-level strategies, Chen Jiyuan did a good job. In a way, it's a little bit similar to Gasol.

However, in terms of ball style, Chen Jiyuan is more like Garnett, because Chen Jiyuan is also very tough and hard-working.

Whether it's a shot or a single that goes inside. Chen Jiyuan is quite sure. This caused a lot of problems for the defenders.

That's the problem the Lakers face.

Even if more defensive attention was paid to Chen Jiyuan, it had no effect. At this point, Kobe Bryant is the same, there will always be times when Kobe can score no matter how much the opponent defends.

In the first quarter of the game, Chen Jiyuan broke the Lakers' interior line in an instant.

The first ball caused Gasol's foul, which led to the subsequent defense, and Gasol did not dare to have too much physical contact with Chen Jiyuan. And soon, within three minutes, Chen Jiyuan hit a single with his back on the inside, causing two fouls by Bynum, and these Bynum went off the court directly.

Phil Jackson had to disrupt his original arrangement, directly letting Odom play, and Gasol playing center to defend Chen Jiyuan.

But Gasol also had a foul on his back, so he was careful when defending. This made Chen Jiyuan play more and more smoothly in the rest of the first quarter of the game.

In the first quarter of the game, Chen Jiyuan was surrounded and intercepted by the Lakers, and scored 19 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists.

And the Knicks also relied on Chen Jiyuan's excellent play to temporarily establish a lead and sometimes. The score on the court was 31:19.

With a double-digit lead in the Knicks, the players played more easily, these newcomers were originally a little nervous in their hearts, the first time they played the finals, this is the finals, not everyone has died once like Chen Jiyuan, so the heart is strong, and most people have never died.

But now that the team is ahead by more than ten points, the mentality is naturally a lot easier.

Especially the bench players who played in the second quarter, they played well in the regular season, but after entering the playoffs, the change in defensive intensity made them somewhat uncomfortable, but, slowly, they always have to get used to it. On top of this Finals, these guys are among the most nervous players. And taking the lead can often relax their mood.

When they are relaxed, they will be able to play better.

The first to fire was Stephen Curry, who has always been eye-catching. is obviously a rookie, but he entered the finals in his rookie season, and Curry, who was selected in the first round, can be said to be quite lucky. However, Curry made many statements before the draft saying that he was a fan of Chen Jiyuan, and on his own growth path, Chen Jiyuan gave a lot of help, and he very much hoped to be a teammate with Chen Jiyuan, learn with Big Brother, and play together.

Such remarks have come out, and being selected by the Knicks is not a shocking event.

And Curry's performance has been getting better and better over the course of this season. Flynn, who was originally known as Curry's biggest opponent, has performed quite well this season, and seems to be able to average 13 points per game, but Curry's points are not comparable to those of the Timberwolves, who are waiting for a one-year top pick, not a price.

Here, Curry must cherish every shot, otherwise, there will not necessarily be a next shot. Among so many stars, they can still average the current points per game, so experts will become more and more optimistic about this rookie.

In this second quarter game with the Lakers, the Lakers' substitute Jordan Farmar is also a pretty good player, although he is not a particularly talented guy, but he is willing to work hard, and the mediocre physical talent of Farmar is not enough to gain a foothold in this league if he does not work hard.

Famar, who is not very good in terms of speed, strength or explosiveness, is difficult not to lag behind even if he is working the defensive end.

When Curry came on the court, he immediately proved why he was a top-round player in the first round, while Famar was a first-round bottom-rounder.

The first ball, Curry held the ball and suddenly accelerated, walked to the left, directly past Famar, Curry's first step was still faster than Famar's, Curry took a step forward with the ball, directly to the left side of a retreat, and then directly jumped shot, the ball hit steadily. Famar also tried his best to chase after him, but it didn't work.

This is not the end, but only the beginning.

The Lakers attacked, Farmar found an opportunity and shot directly with a three-pointer, Farmar who has been trained in the league for several years, and now the three-point shot is still relatively accurate, especially when there is no one.

was face-shot a three-pointer, for Curry, the rhythm is not right, it has always been his own face-shot others.

So, turning around, Curry singled Famar, after shaking the ball back and forth, and then suddenly jumped up and shot a three-point shot, this ball, Famar's reaction was actually not slow, and he had already kept up with Curry's movements. But it's still a little bit close. Curry's ball wasn't interfered with much. The ball went safely into the basket. I was bukkake and I had to come back decisively.

Not only do you have to pay it back, but you have to double it. The grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring. This is the broad and profound culture that Chen Jiyuan brought from China. That's right.

On the next ball, Shannon Brown on the Lakers' side received Odom's pass, cut inside, and made a layup to avoid Ibaka's block and force a layup. 36：24。

Shannon Brown's physical fitness is still full of explosiveness, but he is a little short, and Shannon Brown is not born to play point guard. So I can only fight against the taller and taller scoring guards in the league with a height of 1.93 meters.

It's fair to say that the ball quotient is limiting Shannon Brown's development. Otherwise, Shannon Brown could have become an All-Star point guard.

After Shannon Brown scored the goal, Curry dribbled through the half, and Famar's defense was still very sweet. Curry really wants to him.

Although Famar's strength is not very strong, it is still enough to deal with Curry, and the speed is not enough, Famar found the defense after two defenses, forcibly stuck to Curry, did not give Curry space and time to start, and suppressed it with strength.

One time to grab a good position.

On the premise of no blocking, Curry was indeed very uncomfortable to be defended by Famar.

After taking two steps and finding that there were no good opportunities, Curry gave the ball to Thorton, who never thought he was weaker than Curry, although in fact he was weaker than Curry. In Thornton's view, Curry can do it, and he can do it too.

You can shoot three-pointers, and so can I.

Thornton faced Shannon Brown's defense, both of whom were about the same height, but physically, Shannon Brown was much better than Thorton.

Thorton moved two steps sideways with the ball, and then suddenly accelerated, but, in front of Shannon Brown's speed, to be honest, Thorton's speed was not very fast, Shannon Brown immediately followed Thorton's movements, however, Thorton stopped suddenly, then took a step back, withdrew to the three-point line, and jumped directly to shoot this three-point shot.

With Shannon Brown's physical fitness, this ball can definitely be defended, and this ball, Shannon Brown is indeed good defensively, and it does interfere with Thorton's shooting to a large extent, but unfortunately it has no impact on the actual result.

This three-pointer still scored,

39:24、

Seeing that the score difference is getting bigger and bigger, Phil Jackson still doesn't look too anxious. Also, the name of the Zen master is not called in vain.

However, even Phil Jackson, who was not in a hurry, couldn't sit still after Thorton hit another three-pointer.

Curry's ball and Ibaka blocked and dismantled, Ibaka went down, Curry also rushed inside, and after taking two steps, Curry pretended to pass the ball to Ibaka, but gave the ball to Thorton in the bottom right corner, after Thorton received the ball, it was very comfortable, not bad, and he shot directly on the three-point shot. Shannon Brown flew in to defend, but it didn't work. The three-pointer hit again.

Phil Jackson can't sit in the stem this time. When you are sitting, the difference becomes more than 20 points.

This half of the game is not over yet, so it's better not to play the difference to that point. The pit is too big to fill.

Now Phil Jackson has to think about whether to change to the main lineup.

The Knicks' toughness has always been strong in the absence of weaknesses.

The Knicks' starters are not on the defensive end, they have no weaknesses, and on the offensive end, they can basically attack from all positions. In the regular season, all of the Knicks' starters averaged double-digit points per game, which is absolutely exclusive to the league.

And Newkes on the bench is also very strong, and the combination of Ibaka and Ty Gibson on the inside has always been quite strong. A lot of teams want to hit these two insiders, thinking that if given enough time, the two of them will definitely be able to play.

A lot of people are waiting for these two to expire on their rookie contracts and then give them a big contract and take them both away.

That would be considered a change of direction that weakened the Knicks.

The Knicks' bench perimeter is mainly supported by Curry and Thorton. With the addition of Barnes, an experienced veteran, the entire bench lineup, there are no major flaws in the bench lineup.

And this lineup without playing weaknesses constitutes the strength of the Knicks, both on the defensive end and on the offensive end.

Compared with Phil Jackson, who has a bit of a headache here, is the ease of Thibodeau here, when the team is playing smoothly, the Knicks are a team that is easy to snowball.

After more than a quarter, especially this tailwind, the Knicks' players were less and less nervous. And the excitement on the sidelines is getting more and more.
