Facing Swift's defense. Chen Jiyuan can really be said to do whatever he wants. Others seem to be Chen Jiyuan's every time he attacks, and Swift cooperates as if he received Chen Jiyuan's money, and he is very "willingly" and "happily" on his back.

The entire first quarter was Chen Jiyuan's personal performance moment, Chen Jiyuan scored 18 points under Swift's defense, and the defense on the Thunder's side has not done anything effective to stop Chen Jiyuan.

Another problem with the Thunder is rebounding, the Thunder's lineup, Durant is basically the starter at the No. 4 position, but although Durant is the height and arm span of the No. 4 position, but in fact, Durant's style of play is more like a player at the No. 3 position, and Durant will have a huge height and reach advantage at the No. 3 position. So, when defending, Durant defends Kevin? Lefou, but Lefou's body is synonymous with two extremes compared to Durant, one is strong and the other is thin. I don't look like a player in the same position.

Because of this situation, although Durant is much higher than Lefu in terms of arm span, he is still often grabbed by Lefu in the frontcourt. And Chen Jiyuan is the same, in the snatch with Swift, it is a regular thing to have the upper hand, so this caused the Thunder to lose a lot of points because they did not protect the backcourt rebounds, and the Knicks have a lot of secondary attacks, and the scoring rate is also quite impressive.

In the end, just by the end of the first quarter, the Knicks led the Thunder by 22 points. The score was 36:14.

That's a bit of a big difference.

Not only can the Thunder defend against the Knicks, but they can't attack either, and most of the Thunder's offense ends in singles. There is quite little cooperation between the players, there are not many tactical runs, and it is relatively easy to defend, except for Durant's difficult singles, the rest of the people just need to strangle them one by one. Especially Chen Jiyuan, originally in the Knicks' defensive system, Lefu's defense stabilized the defense of the interior line, and the defensive role was relatively dead, and compared with Lefu's standing defense, Chen Jiyuan would be more likely to assist in defense and supplementary defense, although Chen Jiyuan's arm span was not very good, but Chen Jiyuan had a very fast bounce and bounce speed, so the effect in terms of supplemental defense is still very good. The update is the fastest and most stable) This is also the reason why Chen Jiyuan's recent number of blocks has always been good.

In the face of Chen Jiyuan and Lefu's interior defense, Durant chose to shoot more on the outside, because Durant rushed into the interior several times in a row, but they were all deviated from the interference. And on the outside, Durant's offense is quite unstoppable, although Toney? Aaron has done his best, but the reality is Tony? Allen couldn't make himself ten centimeters taller before the game started, which is why he couldn't stop Durant's shot no matter how hard he tried. In fact, even in later generations, there are not many people who can limit Durant's shooting, but among these few people is Tony? Allen one, Chen Jiyuan clearly remembers that in the playoffs in the 2013-14 season, Durant was in Tony? Allen's defensive level has been greatly disregarded. As a result, the Thunder, the second in the West, was almost given a black seven by the Grizzlies. Among them, Durant's slump can be said to be the main reason.

Tony now? Allen didn't guard Durant because he thought he hadn't grown to that stage, Tony? Allen hasn't grown enough to know how to defend Durant with his strong body.

After the end of the first quarter, the Thunder gave a feeling that they had to lose. Even the fans are bored. Although after winning this game, the Knicks will temporarily become the first in the East. Although it is tied with the Celtics for first place. But it's simply too exciting for Knicks fans.

In the second quarter of the game, there were no accidents, the Thunder seemed to have given up the game, but only Durant and the rest of the Thunder players knew that they didn't give up the game at all, the reason why they played like this is because they couldn't prevent Chen Jiyuan's interior attack at all, and once the shrinkage was carried out, then, the two three-pointers that Sessions hit were in Chiguoguo's lawsuit to the Thunder, don't think that the Knicks can't shoot three points.

But in fact, the Knicks' outside three-point line is indeed not very trustworthy, mainly because Sessions' three-point is still improving, not fully formed, and Starkey's outside line has always been bad, although it is often practiced, but the effect is not obvious, and it is not even as fast as Sessions's three-point progress. And Tony? Aaron was not assigned the task of attacking in the first place, mainly Tony? Allen's offense was quite one-dimensional. Tony? I won't talk much about Aaron's offensive skills, it's all tears!

However, after Sessions hit two three-pointers today, the Thunder did not dare to shrink the Knicks inside, and did not dare to over-trap Chen Jiyuan. This should be regarded as a tactical mistake by the Thunder. In fact, the Thunder obviously can't prevent Chen Jiyuan's inside attack, but they are still worried about losing points on the outside, which will only cause a situation where they are not taken care of inside and outside. This will lead to a lack of resoluteness in defense, which is an even worse situation.

In the first quarter, the Thunder's defensive strategy didn't work at all.

In the second quarter, the Knicks continued their offensive strategy, and the Thunder continued their defensive strategy. Then, the point difference was not widened, because the Thunder's offense seemed to be a little enlightened. Desmond? Mason seems to be feeling good today, and Russell, who came off the bench? Westbrook is also on a rampage, posing a big threat to the Knicks' interior line, Westbrook's first step is very, very fast, and it is difficult to keep up, after the Knicks' outside defenders are passed, Landry's supplemental defense is not particularly good, Westbrook is quite difficult to stop, although he has not grown to the point of the All-Star point guard in the future, but now he is also a very difficult guy, although this is his first season. After rushing inside, Westbrook relied on his strong body to often score the ball on Landry's head. However, Landry's defense is not particularly good, so it is understandable that this situation is happening now, and now the defense of the Knicks' bench lineup can be said to still belong to the level of vulnerability, if the opponent's bench lineup has a score-grabbing master, then the Knicks will become a little passive, just like the current Westbrook, and then for example, the Spurs' Ginobili. The original Knicks had Crawford in the bench lineup to grab points, and now Crawford's playing time is getting less and less, and the right to shoot has been greatly compressed, Thibodeau didn't like Crawford, not to mention that Starkey's table was so good during this period of time, Crawford was naturally hit hard. Although Crawford is still the first point of attack on the bench, he can't play as long as he did before.

When the second quarter passed halfway, the score remained at about 20 points after all. 48：26。

When Chen Jiyuan and other main forces returned to the court, it was only 3 minutes left in the second quarter of the game, because the Knicks were ahead of the score in today's game, and the Thunder had not recovered the score, so Chen Jiyuan rested very well off the court, and on the other hand, Durant was not so lucky, because he was more behind, so Durant only rested for a minute and a half and returned to the court, but the reality is that the Thunder has no way to recover the score, even if the Knicks' main force is not there, but the Thunder's offense is too simple, which is seen through by Thibodeau, and defense is Thibodeau's old job. Therefore, in response to the Thunder's offensive means, Thibodeau made corresponding arrangements, let Landry defend Durant, and then let the shot not break through, although Durant's shooting is quite accurate, but it is also quite accurate, and the goal rate is definitely not as high as rushing into the basket, you know, Durant's super ** arm span is under the basket, which is simply too much advantage. It's too hard to prevent. In the case of the trade-off between the basket and the shot, Thibodeau still chose to let go of the shot. The main thing is that when Chen Jiyuan is no longer on the court, there will be loopholes in the Knicks' interior defense, Landry's sense of supplemental defense is not bad, but height is an irreparable injury, and the movement speed and bullet speed are not particularly fast, except for Landry, the Knicks' interior line has no substitute players worth relying on, and although Chen Jiyuan is in good shape, it is unrealistic to play 40 minutes per game. After all, Chen Jiyuan is still a human being. Without the help of plug-ins, if Chen Jiyuan played for more than 40 minutes, the state of the last few minutes, even if Chen Jiyuan was a traverser, Chen Jiyuan would not dare to completely guarantee it.

Chen Jiyuan had a good rest today, and when Chen Jiyuan returned to the court. On the court, the shape is still firmly controlled by the Knicks.
