Chapter 496: The Last Attack of the Counteroffensive

James's one seems simple, but in fact, it is a difficult layup, and once again the difference is back to five points.

However, on the Knicks' side, the Cavaliers still can't defend effectively.

After Chen Jiyuan's ball received the ball in the low post, the Cavaliers were very difficult to defend. Because at this time, I don't dare to wrap the clip too completely, otherwise, the leakage will be very complete.

The Cavaliers could only hope for the Knicks' offense, and Chen Jiyuan failed in a single shot.

However, Chen Jiyuan disappointed the Cavaliers' players and Brown's classmates.

Chen Jiyuan relied on playing Anderson Vallejo, and after leaning twice, he turned over and made a jumper, and the ball entered the basket steadily.

Anderson Vallejo could only watch Chen Jiyuan shoot, but couldn't do effective defense, Chen Jiyuan himself relied on his own strength to hit Anderson Vallejo's center of gravity before the rollover jumper was a little unstable, and then after turning over, plus a backward jumper, Anderson Vallejo had no way at all. In this trick, Chen Jiyuan still learned from Yao Ming. Yao Ming's turnaround jump shot is even if it is Yao Ming's famous stunt, and it is also Yao Ming's unsolvable stunt.

Chen Jiyuan added a little bit of his own characteristics, so that this trick was also applied to himself, a guy whose height advantage is not super obvious, 100:103. There is 1 minute 09 seconds left in the game.

The Cavaliers attacked again. James was not in a hurry at all, but waited until there were eight seconds left in the offensive time to prepare to attack, this ball is still a block, James took advantage of Anderson Vallejo's blocking, rushed into the inside, this ball was found by James Opportunity, in the middle of Stephen Jackson and Love two forced squeezed open a channel, and then rushed into the inside line, Chen Jiyuan quickly stepped forward to make up for the defense, and James two people met in the air, but this ball Chen Jiyuan actually did not violate James's body. In the air, the body did not hit James, but he just wanted to reach out to cover James, but James seemed to hit himself in the air, a pick-up basket with his left hand, and then landed on his own with a very unstable look, dangling two steps. The referee's whistle sounded with James's drunken footsteps.

Chen Jiyuan felt that this was very wronged, it was simply too wronged. I really didn't do anything. Moreover, the more important thing is that if this foul is counted on Chen Jiyuan. Then Chen Jiyuan is the sixth offender to leave the scene. I graduated directly. Then the shape of the Nix shì is instantly more dangerous.

However, Stephen Jackson is an experienced veteran who has played for many years, and as soon as the referee's whistle came to mind, he instantly raised his innocent little white hand and walked in front of Chen Jiyuan. Signaling that he pushed someone to foul. This was Stephen Jackson's third foul, and it didn't affect the big picture at all. Don't worry about it at all. But if this foul is counted on Chen Jiyuan, it is almost equivalent to punishing the Knicks to lose. After all, this is the home court of the Knicks, and it is in New York, and the referees have to be more or less scrupulous. If the Knicks' main player was sent off because of such a whistle that could be blown or not, it would be strange that the fans on the court were not in a hurry.

The referee eventually signaled that Stephen Jackson had fouled, and Stephen Jackson gave a downhill and the referee went down.

James walked to the free-throw line.

In the end, James missed the first free throw and hit the second free throw. The result of two free throws and one hit made the score on the court 100:104.

The difference can be regarded as narrowing by one point. There are 49 seconds left.

It's time for the Knicks. On the offensive end, the Knicks once again gave the ball to Chen Jiyuan, who received the ball in the low post and prepared to single Anderson Valejo, this time Brown shouted on the sidelines, wrap, pack.

As a result, the knight's ball began to wrap around Chen Jiyuan. Chen Jiyuan had no choice but to give the ball to Sessions who had a vacant space on the outside, because now Sessions was outside the three-point line near Chen Jiyuan, after Sessions received the ball, Mo Williams quickly returned to Sessions's side, this ball Sessions did not shoot, seeing that Jeffs came back so quickly, Sessions took a step back, and Jeff Williams quickly followed. In the future, he will be scolded by the head coach and will never play again.

Mo Williams retreated, Sessions also hoisted the ball in again, hoisted it to Chen Jiyuan, Chen Jiyuan once again back Anderson Vallejo received the ball, Mo Williams quickly moved closer to the inside, but after Chen Jiyuan received the ball, he immediately made a shooting move, Anderson Vallejo was a little anxious about the ball, but he was fooled and jumped up, Chen Jiyuan quickly bumped into Anderson Vallejo before Mo Williams arrived, and at the same time reluctantly shot the ball.

The ball didn't go in, but it did cause a foul on Anderson Vallejo. Chen Jiyuan got two free throws.

Chen Jiyuan, who walked on the free throw line, was still quite excited. However, after taking a deep breath, Chen Jiyuan's state of mind returned to normal.

Hit both free throws steadily. 102:104。

No, this time Brown called a timeout again. This point difference, this time, it is necessary to use the last timeout of their team,

There are now 33 seconds left in the game. A two-point advantage is definitely not safe. The Cavaliers have to make sure that the next offense is successful, then the Cavaliers really have to win this game.

At the timeout, there were no substitutions on either side.

But Brown was a little negligent, or Brown didn't notice this, that is, the main players were really tired. Today's actual main players are overloaded again, and this is the fifth game, with only one day of rest before each playoff matchup. But players are also human beings no matter how awesome they are, and they can't stand playing an average of more than 40 minutes per game.

James held the ball by himself, waited for the passage of time, and did not deliberately delay until the last second to attack, and when there were 12 seconds left in the offensive time, James motioned for Anderson Vallejo to come forward and block him. At this time, James really used a more effective breakthrough, however, this ball, the attention of the Knicks' players is also on James, this ball, no matter who blocks James, is an effect, that is, resolutely wrap James, this ball is like this, Lefu followed James to death. Stephen Jackson didn't care about Anderson Vallejo either, and Anderson Vallejo was just left near the free-throw line, standing stupidly.

James walked into the inner line, but he didn't have a chance at all, not to mention that this was a two-person bag, and there was a Chen Jiyuan over there who had been eyeing it. These are all factors that cannot be ignored. So the ball James passed to Anderson Vallejo, who took a step inside after receiving the ball, and then threw it in front of Lefou. The ball was not much of a distraction, because Love's attention was always on James, but Anderson Vallejo still disappointed everyone and still couldn't hit the key ball.

The moment the ball bounces out of the hoop. Chen Jiyuan jumped up quickly, although James and Zajunas Ilgoskas also jumped up at the same time to grab the rebound, but Chen Jiyuan controlled it well in the air, and then hugged the ball in his arms.

Quickly reach out and signal to the sideline referee to take a timeout.

Stephen Jackson and Sessions, too, signaled for the referee to take a timeout.

There were 14 seconds left. As an offensive time is very plentiful.

During the pause, the tactics arranged by Thibodeau were very simple and clear, that is, to give Chen Jiyuan the last shot. Sessions and Chen Jiyuan cooperated in blocking and dismantling, as long as Chen Jiyuan's side was not trapped, he gave the ball to Chen Jiyuan's hands and let Chen Jiyuan shoot a two-point shot.

"Chen, after you receive the ball, you decide whether to break inside or shoot high. But be sure to pay attention to the timing. ”

Chen Jiyuan nodded to show that he understood.

From the moment Thibodeau decided to give this ball to Chen Jiyuan, everyone knew that Thibodeau meant overtime in this game. Don't lore. Indeed, the morale of the team is high right now. Not afraid of playing overtime at all. On the contrary, if you want a three-point shot, then the hope is small, because the Knicks' three-point masters, that is, the shooting rates of Sessions and Crawford, are still visible, and Sessions's is still improved later, and I don't know if it is trustworthy. Getting Crawford to shoot the last and most crucial goal was not what Thibodeau wanted. Especially considering that Jamal Crawford's three-point shooting percentage is 36 percent, Thibodeau is even less likely to give the ball to Crawford. So none of the players who came on the court was Crawford, but Starkey became the shooting guard in this most critical moment.

The defensive tactics laid out by the Cavaliers are very clear, Brown means to resolutely let Anderson Vallejo defend Chen Jiyuan, you must beware of Chen Jiyuan breaking inside, and don't give the opponent a chance to shoot three-pointers, especially Sessions and Stephen Jackson, Starkey was ignored by Brown gorgeously.

However, before the game officially began, James gathered the players around him and revisited the tactics. James is very sure that Chen Jiyuan will definitely shoot this ball by himself. Unless it's a three-man bag, so James' tactics are very clear. Zajunas Ilgoskas pays more attention to Chen Jiyuan's movements, and he will move closer to Chen Jiyuan more. James' behavior can be regarded as the only one in the NBA. This is a change in the tactics that the manager has given him. Although some players can indeed adapt on the court and do not completely follow the tactics of the head coach, there are really no people like James who directly deny the tactics of the head coach.
