Chapter 582: The advantage of a high shot
The second half of the game began, and the tactics adopted by the Eagles were still not to contain Chen Jiyuan, because Chen Jiyuan reached out to the ball for the ball to attack on the first ball in the second half, and then watched closely on the court, wanting to see if the opponent would be caught by others.
But Chen Jiyuan found that when he held the ball, he leaned against Al Horford with his back, although Al Horford was close to him, wanted to break the ball, and the strength of the defense was also very strong, but the others did not come up to help Al Horford.
Moreover, others also followed their defensive targets closer, and it was obvious that Chen Jiyuan knew that the opponent was continuing to apply Jordan's rule, and wanted to continue to let Chen Jiyuan fall into personal singles.
It's a simple way to win.
In this case, Chen Jiyuan naturally has no way to pass the ball.
Whether it's Iguodala or Curry, they are all heavily defended by the Hawks in the post-running talent.
What's more, Chen Jiyuan is still more inclined to choose his own attack, after all, in the previous game, Chen Jiyuan shot wildly, and it was still under a high hit rate, in this case, Chen Jiyuan felt hot, even if Chen Jiyuan didn't take the initiative to ask for the ball, a qualified point guard would choose to give the ball more to this guy with super fierce offensive firepower. Otherwise, the point guard's overall view is obviously unqualified.
Chen Jiyuan leaned on Al Horford with his back, once again showed his offensive ability, began to shoot the ball, hit it twice, and then suddenly made a frontal jump, and then jumped directly and threw a backward jumper.
The series of movements, done very coherently, made Al Horford have no way to block the ball at all.
Although Chen Jiyuan's actions can't be as fast as a guard, Al Horford still can't keep up, Chen Jiyuan takes a big step and takes a lot of places, not to mention, Chen Jiyuan's height and shooting points make Al Horford simply out of reach.
In fact, the point of shooting is relatively high, which is really useful in many cases, such as Garnett, and then Durant, the wolf king Garnett's shooting point is very high, when the body is not in peak condition, Garnett becomes very smart, relying on the jump shot with a high shot point, Garnett still maintains his competitive state at a very high level. And, you know, Garnett hasn't experienced the injury that has skyrocketed his entire career.
Garnett, who is still healthy, is certainly a little weaker than he was when he was younger, but he has a lot of experience and a very good competitive attitude. Passionate and able to lead the whole team forward. Can be a leader player in the team's locker room.
The same is true of Kevin Durant, who is 2.08 meters tall and is obviously the height of a center, but he is the starting small forward of a team. The projection ability is first-class, in a sense, it can be regarded as an enhanced version of Lewis, whether it is in breakthrough ability or projection ability, Kevin Durant is many, much stronger than Lewis. The only thing that's about the same is that both of them are centers of height, but they have a good three-point shooting percentage.
Now Chen Jiyuan has this advantage.
Chen Jiyuan's height advantage has been transformed into a zero advantage in shooting pressure.
Chen Jiyuan knew very well in his heart that he would not be blocked, and he had no watch to see Al Horford at all, as long as he followed the rhythm of his usual training, as long as he imagined that the defender behind him was a trainer.
In this case, as long as you find the right rhythm and shoot slowly, the goal will be secure. The score is the right one.
Years of training have allowed Chen Jiyuan to be in a position he is familiar with, even if he can't see anything, as long as the rhythm is good, then he can also shoot and hit.
After the ball hit, the Eagles still attacked at their own pace unhurriedly.
This is not a good thing for the Knicks, if the players of the Hawks are not anxious because of Chen Jiyuan's high score, then the Knicks who are now behind will not be able to chase points.
Since he chose to let Chen Jiyuan score infinitely and simply pursue victory, how could Mike Woodson not consider the psychological feelings of the players.
Naturally, before the start of the game, the situation was explained very clearly.
Repeatedly, follow your own steps, slowly, little by little, then you will be able to win the game.
However, Mike Woodson also knows very well that this is not so simple to do, watching the opponent crazy scoring, as a professional athlete, it is difficult to maintain a normal mentality. So, from time to time, Mike Woodson stood on the sidelines and shouted at the players on the field, just to make them execute the tactics they had arranged.
Mike Woodson achieved his goal.
The Eagles' offense was more patient and had a decent success rate.
With this rhythm moving forward, the game came to the fourth quarter.
In the third quarter, Chen Jiyuan was still too caught up in individual singles.
However, the Knicks' offense originally relied heavily on Chen Jiyuan's individual singles, but that was under the premise that the opponent would contain Chen Jiyuan, and now the Hawks chose the Jordan rule to defend Chen Jiyuan.
It makes Thibodeau feel very uncomfortable.
It's not like no team has used this kind of defense against the Knicks before, but the Hawks have a huge advantage that no other team can match.
That is, your sister has too many swing people.
The feet are very flexible and very fast, so they can keep up with any movement, and even if there is a pick-and-roll, change the defense immediately, and there will be no big holes in the defense. This is really a headache.
However, Chen Jiyuan is really gradually approaching the eighty-one points of that legend.
At the end of the third quarter, Chen Jiyuan had scored 65 points, and the Knicks scored 83 points as a team.
Moreover, if we look closely, we will find that in the first quarter of the game, except for Chen Jiyuan, everyone else scored 9 points, in the second quarter of the game, others scored 6 points, and in the third quarter of the game, everyone else scored 3 points. It's not that Chen Jiyuan doesn't pass the ball at all, but because his teammates really can't grasp the opportunity after passing.
I didn't make a move for a long time, so that my hands were a little cold. This is also normal.
However, such a proportional decline can be a big crisis for the Knicks.
At the end of the third quarter, the Knicks trailed by five points at 83-90.
As a strong team in the East, the Knicks are of course good defensively, but today, in front of the Hawks, because of their inaction on the offensive end, the players will be more or less slack on the defensive end.
This is because the offensive end is always a useless waste of body, always getting more offensive almost, and the other players are gradually losing the enthusiasm to run actively.
This situation is especially obvious for Ty Gibson and Curry, Iguodala and Stephen Jackson are veterans after all, and the defense of the two is already the same profession, so they can still defend conscientiously.
But Curry and Ty Gibson are not, after all, the two are newcomers, even if they can show a lot of power if they are reused in strength, but they still can't make their mentality become veterans. That's why every team needs a veteran.
The original Knicks lacked such a veteran, but fortunately, they were exchanged for the martial saint Stephen Jackson. Making him the leader of the dressing room of the team has allowed the team to be more harmonious with each other.
After all, although the martial saint is a master of war, he is still very interesting for his opponent.
It can be seen from the Auburn Hills Palace incident at that time.
Therefore, the disharmony within the Knicks gradually stabilized. Coupled with the unparalleled strength shown by Chen Jiyuan, it is also one of the reasons why everyone in the team surrenders to Chen Jiyuan.
The slackness on the defensive end shown by Curry and Ty Gibson allowed the Hawks to seize the opportunity and successfully extend the margin to seven points.
The third quarter of the game allowed the opponent to score 90 points, which can be said to be an infinitely insulting to Thibodeau, making Thibodeau simply unbearable.
Sure enough, after the game, everyone, including Chen Jiyuan. All were baptized by the roar of Thibodeau.
Even if Chen Jiyuan wanted to defend the defensive end, Al Horford did not attack, but just pulled Chen Jiyuan out of the three-second zone as much as possible. In this way, the Eagles will be able to take the opportunity to attack the interior.
Al Horford, after all, has a pretty good shooting percentage from mid-range.
Chen Jiyuan really didn't dare to let Al Horford go too far. In case this kid hits two shots in a row, then Chen Jiyuan will have to hit the durian with his head.
Chen Jiyuan's defense of Al Horford is quite good, but he still can't avoid a baptism of saliva.
After all, it's an indisputable fact that the team dropped 90 points in three quarters.
No matter what anyone says, there is no way to change that fact.
Thibodeau scolded the players. And said: "In the fourth quarter, you should strengthen your defense, and don't always let the opponent score so simply." Especially Curry and Ty Gibson, both of you are motivated. Enthusiasm、Mobilize the enthusiasm completely。 To actively let go, to actively interfere. In order to win, you have to be active, and you have to be active in doing what you can. ”
The shame of losing 90 points in the third quarter of the game completely suppressed Thibodeau's joy of scoring 69 points against Chen Jiyuan.
Since Thibodeau began to train the Knicks, the Knicks' defense has gradually risen to a higher level and gradually become a strong defensive team in the league.
In addition, the number of points lost is gradually decreasing.
That's why Thibodeau is so unhappy today.
However, Thibodeau would not have imagined that in the fourth quarter of the game, the surprise would come so quickly.
