"Toot-"

With the referee's whistle, the fateful match began.

Chen Jiyuan won Ilgauskas with an easy jump ball, and the Knicks took the lead in attacking the Cavaliers.

The Knicks' starting line is the same as in the last game, still Sessions plays point guard to control the situation on the court, Rodney Starkey plays scoring guard, more of a role is to steal points, small forward Wilson Chandler, the only reason to start is to point to him to defend James. David Lee is a qualified and low-key starting interior player. The center is our protagonist, Lord Chen Jiyuan.

The Cavaliers' starters have not changed much, and Brown is the type who does not change starters lightly without special circumstances. This is also a disadvantage of many veteran managers, who sometimes can't tell where the dividing line between self-assertion and flexibility is.

James is a thunderbolt starter, and Ilgoskas is still the starting center, but at least Curry has entered the activation list in this game, which means that Curry still has the possibility of playing in this game. Power forward Ben Wallace. The main role of this defensive titan is to limit the opponent's main inside, that is, Chen Jiyuan. It's a little bit the same as Chandler's play. The difference is that Ben Wallace's defense is the top in the league, no matter who he faces, it doesn't matter who he faces, Ben Wallace will defend, while Chandler is just the Knicks are forced to do it, there is really no better candidate, and he can only pull out the big one in the. Chandler was chosen by force. Deron West is also the starting defender, and the backcourt player who plays with him is Szebiak, an accurate shooter who is really more suitable for the Cavaliers' tactical system. The rest of the group tried to open up space for James, and then James abused his opponent with his unreasonable breakthrough.

The first ball Sessions firmly controlled the ball, when Chen Jiyuan stuck Ben Wallace and was about to ask for the ball, but was surrounded by Szebiak, the Knicks did not expect that the Cavaliers would defend Chen Jiyuan so quickly, and it was also a bag without the ball, this kind of treatment really shocked Chen Jiyuan.

Sessions saw that he didn't give Chen Jiyuan a chance to play the ball, so he directly gave the ball to Starki, who was empty by Szczebiak, Starkey held the ball, and waited for Szzambiak to come over to make up for the defense, Szzambiak ran to Starkey's side quickly, and the inertia was very great, and Starkey saw Szzambiak running like this. Directly accelerated from Szczebiak to rush into the inside, after Starkey entered the inside, he wanted to make a throw, but Ilgoskas's quick defense still made Starkey's ball deflect, but fortunately, David Lee, who was released on the other side, jumped directly to make a basket, and the ball hit steadily, and the Knicks took the lead in scoring two points. 2：0。

The Cavaliers attacked, after West took the ball through the half, James reached out to ask for the ball, and after West gave the ball to James, Chen Jiyuan's defensive attention was no longer on Ben Wallace, but on James's side. James faced Chandler, James shook a little, Chandler did not jump, Chen Jiyuan told Sù Chandler's defensive strategy is to let go of the sudden and not let go, although now James is still confident in his mid-range shooting, but James is now too clear in the mid-range shooting technology Chen Jiyuan is too clear, although it has increased compared to before, but it has not yet reached the peak, and the success rate of goals is not comparable with his breakthrough. Therefore, in such a critical game, Chen Jiyuan guessed that James must be more abrupt.

However, James gave Chen Jiyuan a big surprise.

James saw that Chandler's center of gravity did not mean to rise at all, so he directly pulled it up and threw it, and although the ball did not score, Chen Jiyuan found James's determination to attack.

Chen Jiyuan protected this backcourt rebound and did not give Ben Wallace a chance.

The Knicks did not carry out a quick counterattack, but had Sessions slowly lead through the half, and then the positional battle, because although the Cavaliers' Ilgoskas moved slowly and the speed of defense was relatively slow, Ben Wallace's speed was still quite fast, and after returning to defense, the defense of James and Ben Wallace was not so simple to break through, so Chen Jiyuan did not choose to throw this ball forward, but gave it to Sessions and let Sessions slowly move forward.

After halftime, when Chen Jiyuan was not stuck, Ben Wallace defended him alone, but once Chen Jiyuan was stuck with Ben Wallace, Szzebiak's front wrap was in place instantly, which really made Chen Jiyuan quite helpless.

In the first half, Chen Jiyuan only shot once, but he still grabbed the hook hand after the rebound in the front court, and the ball went in. Chen Jiyuan didn't grab any rebounds, only more than 6 minutes, and grabbed 6 rebounds.

On the Knicks' side, Chen Jiyuan did not open, but the score was not opened, relying not on the double guns on the outside, but on David Lee, when David Lee first started, it was Starkey who broke into the inside line to share the ball to David Lee, and David Lee only shot after receiving the ball. Chen Jiyuan directly explained to Sessions and David Lee, asked Sessions to pass the ball to David Lee, and then Chen Jiyuan attracted the bag on the other side to attract the Cavaliers' defensive attention. Chen Jiyuan did not blindly attack because he was the boss of the team, and Chen Jiyuan did not feel irritated at all because he had been trapped. Mainly because David Lee's side is indeed brutal, David Lee scored 11 points in the first half of the first quarter, helping the Knicks bite the score.

On the Cavaliers' side, James did not disappoint the Cleveland fans, and successfully rebounded, and it was still a very strong rebound, James scored 12 points in the first quarter, 5-of-6, and 2-of-2 free throws. Of those six shots, three were mid-range two-pointers, while the other two were breakaways. This ratio completely surprised everyone, everyone thought that James would choose to break through more in such a critical and deadly game, but James made everyone feel a little embarrassed. There are more mid-range shots than breakouts, although only temporarily. In the next game, it is unknown whether James will increase his number of breakthroughs.
