Chapter 394: Madness at the End (I)
saw Chen Jiyuan return to the bench in a menacing manner, and looking at the black lines on Chen Jiyuan's face, he knew how bad Chen Jiyuan's mood was now. Therefore, it is better to protect yourself with Mingzhe, and it is better not to provoke Chen Jiyuan at this time.
However, there are still some people who are not afraid of death. Take Sessions, for example. Sessions is a representative of the legendary incomprehensible style. I think back then, when Sessions was the most angry with Chen Jiyuan, he dared to teach Chen Jiyuan a lesson, and almost caused a conflict within the team, you know, Chen Jiyuan is the boss of the team, okay? This shows how bold Sessions is. It's not fearless.
At this time, Sessions came to Chen Jiyuan again, still saying those very unhappy words.
It's very straightforward, very direct, and very incomprehensible. Sessions came up and said to Chen Jiyuan: "Don't indulge in the outside because of those big two-pointers you hit in the first quarter of the game, play inside from the middle distance, you can play O'Neal." β
This is simply adding fuel to the fire. Sessions is really afraid that Chen Jiyuan will not be angry.
Sure enough, Chen Jiyuan looked at Sessions with an unhappy face, and then said in a cold tone: "Ha, what are you talking about?" β
Sessions was not afraid of Chen Jiyuan at all, and said in the same tone: "I said that you don't indulge in the outside because of those big two-pointers you hit in the first quarter of the game, and you can play O'Neal from the middle distance." β
Sessions, really, I just said it again. This makes Lefu and others embarrassed, and they are worried that something bad will break out if they are not careful.
Fortunately, Stephen Jackson quickly stepped forward, separated between Chen Jiyuan and Sessions, pushed Sessions away, and said to Chen Jiyuan over and over again: "Chen, you need to calm down." As the leader of the team, what can you do if you lose your cool attitude? β
Chen Jiyuan stopped talking, just sat quietly. Put a towel over your head. And Sessions was also pushed aside by Stephen Jackson and said, "Hey, Ramon, you can't speak so bluntly at this time." This will only increase the conflict between teammates. To be tactful, to be tactful. Chen is not the kind of person who can't listen to words, but after all, he is the boss of the team, and he must give the face that needs to be given. Got it? β
Sessions thought for a moment and nodded, but didn't speak. Stephen Jackson is also used to it, and it can be seen that Sessions is just not willing to talk. Stephen Jackson didn't mind.
The fourth quarter of the game is about to begin. Chen Jiyuan's game table in the third quarter was quite second. In the fourth section, whether Chen Jiyuan can break out or not, now this is a question that everyone is concerned about.
For this question, Chen Jiyuan will give an answer soon.
The first offense of the final quarter of the game was initiated by the Knicks, Chen Jiyuan served to Sessions, and Sessions dribbled through the half, and now the five people sent by the Knicks are Stephen Jackson, Chen Jiyuan, Kevin Love, and Starkey.
For the crucial fourth quarter of the game, Thibodeau is still a more newcomer, Starkey, a "newcomer". There is no way to do this, after all, Starkey's offensive firepower is very strong now, but on the defensive end, Starkey is much better than Crawford.
So Starkey was more trusted by Thibodeau than Crawford.
And at this time, the five guys on the Suns are Jason Richardson, Shaquille O'Neal, Amare Stoudemire, Steve Nash, and Grant Hill. It's the starting five Tigers on the field.
After Sessions dribbled the ball through the half, he watched the shape of the field and the back and forth of the players.
Chen Jiyuan helped Starkey block Grant Hill, Starkey successfully received the ball, Grant Hill was delayed by Chen Jiyuan, so, in the process of Grant Hill rushing in the direction of Starkey, Starkey started and rushed to the inside, Grant Hill had no way to adjust his center of gravity in time for a while, he could only watch Starkey pass by his side, and the current Grant Hill would be judged as a foul as long as he did something to Starkey. So, Grant Hill can only hope that his team's interior players can stop Starkey.
Starkey rushed into the inside line with the ball, Chen Jiyuan stuck O'Neal stubbornly, so that O'Neal could not cause any interference to Starkey's breakthrough, after Starkey rushed into the inside line, Amare Stoudemire immediately stepped forward to make up for the defense, Amare Stoudemire's mobility is also very strong, it is because of the physical violence that he can get the best rookie award and become an All-Star level player. It is precisely because of this super body that AmarΓ© Stoudemire was able to sign a super big contract with the Knicks in his previous life.
However, Starkey is also very smart and does not make a direct layup, because this ball Amare Stoudemire's defense time is very early, and if it is hard, it is more difficult, in fact, Starkey's passing career and kung fu are still good, but because Starkey is often the team's offensive finisher, the average number of assists per game is only 3.1.
This ball, after Starkey jumped, Amare Stoudemire also jumped, and then in the air, Starkey passed the ball from Amare Stoudemire's waist position to Lefu who was waiting for the ball on the other side, and after Lefu received the ball, he jumped directly and dunked with one hand, although the momentum is not so full, after all, Lefou's bullet speed is not as good as Amare Stoudemire, Lefu is not dry, and Amare Stoudemire turned around and gave himself a big hat after a while. Then there will be no distinction between the south, the south, the west, and the south.
So Lefu obediently dunked with insufficient momentum, but this dunk was still two points. Regardless of the strength and lack of momentum, it is two points. 83:76γ
The offense on the Suns' side, Nash's ball quickly moved forward, the Suns all moved forward quickly, and then in the run, Nash gave the ball to Jason Richardson who was running with a pass, and after Richardson received the ball, he made a direct three-point shot, Richardson's three-point shooting rate was still passable, as a swing man on the front line, Richardson's three-point shooting rate was 38.3%. Although this shooting percentage is not as good as Nash's 43.9%, it is still very good.
Richardson's quick stop shot dodged Stephen Jackson's block and the shot went in. 83:79γ
The Knicks were naturally not to be outdone, originally Sessions dribbled the ball on the outside, and then took advantage of Chen Jiyuan's blocking, in addition to the opportunity to shoot, Sessions was going to shoot directly with three points, but O'Neal and Nash quickly came up and rushed towards Sessions. Sessions didn't force a shot, Sessions made a jump preparation, and his foot almost left the ground, but Sessions still passed the ball between O'Neal and Nash in time, this ball passed very cleverly, very well, taking advantage of the fact that Nash and O'Neal were shaken by their own feints, the ball was passed to Chen Jiyuan who cut in the middle from between the two people, Chen Jiyuan was not very comfortable to receive the ball, Chen Jiyuan's arm span is not very perverted, If this ball were a faring weird like Durant or Marion, it would probably be very good to catch.
However, although it was not very comfortable, Chen Jiyuan still picked up the ball, and at the same time stepped into the inside line in two big steps, Amare Stoudemire's supplementary defense was too late, Chen Jiyuan dunked the frame with both hands and sent the ball into the basket. 85:79γ
Nash dribbled through the half, and then this time Nash made a three-pointer of his own and the ball went in. 85:80γ
I don't know what's going on, but after entering the fourth quarter, the Suns' three-point shooting rate is a bit high. But this is just the beginning, and I don't know what will happen after that.
The Knicks attacked this time, and Love made a two-point shot, but it was missed, but Love grabbed the offensive rebound himself, but he didn't make a basket, and this time the rebound was grabbed by Amare Stoudemire.
Amare Stoudemire directly gave the ball to Grant Hill who ran to the front court, and after Grant Hill received the ball, he quickly ran forward. In the past, O'Neal was barely able to mix a little, but now O'Neal is really old, and then the average playing time per game in the Suns is still very high. I really don't know how to respect the old and love the young.
After Grant Hill passed half time, he didn't choose to go inside, because the inside line had been occupied by Stephen Jackson in advance, which was one of the reasons, and at the same time, Hill didn't know what he thought, anyway, Grant Hill made a three-pointer outside the three-point line, and the ball really went in. 85:83γ
Originally, Grant Hill's three-point shooting percentage was not high, and even as an outside player, as a swingman on the front line. Grant Hill was a failing grade. He averaged just 31.6 percent three-pointers per game. However, Grant Hill's three-point shots are also very small, averaging only 0.9 three-pointers per game this season, and Grant Hill's role is to shoot in the middle range and have rushed into the interior to cause kills or layups. It is impossible for an entire team to shoot three-pointers from the outside, and there must always be someone who is good at breaking inside. And Grant Hill's version plays that role.
Grant Hill didn't see much of a three-pointer this season, and then today it was seen by Chen Jiyuan. I don't know if it's good luck or bad luck.
After hitting this three-pointer, the difference between the Suns and the Knicks was only 2 points.
However, Thibodeau did not call a timeout, and I don't know if Thibodeau felt that he didn't need to call a timeout now, or because Thibodeau had great trust in the Knicks' players.
In the Knicks' attack, Chen Jiyuan held the ball alone, Chen Jiyuan leaned on O'Neal with his back and hit it twice, which had no effect at all, but this is also normal, if anyone else can move O'Neal with his back, it would be a bit exaggerated.
After Chen Jiyuan hit twice, one turned left, O'Neal quickly followed Chen Jiyuan's footsteps, Chen Jiyuan pretended to shoot, because Chen Jiyuan's turnaround jump shot was very accurate, and it turned out that Chen Jiyuan did like to use this trick very much, so this ball, O'Neal jumped with it. is mainly Chen Jiyuan's shooting, as long as Chen Jiyuan adds a little bit of leaning, basically his shooting will be difficult to cover. So O'Neal's ball followed Chen Jiyuan's movements to jump, but O'Neal's experience is rich after all, so even if he jumped, he kept one hand, just a vertical jump, and he didn't want to lean forward, although the probability of being able to block was relatively small, but at least it could also play a role in interference, the reason for this was to worry about Chen Jiyuan's foul early O'Neal, Chen Jiyuan averaged a lot of free throws per game, whether it was last season or this season, or the first season. From his rookie season to this season, he averaged 5.4, 7.4, and 7.6 free throws per game, respectively.
As an interior player, Chen Jiyuan's average free throws per game is not top-notch, but it is definitely not at the level of lagging. In fact, Chen Jiyuan could have gotten more free throws, but Chen Jiyuan often repeatedly threw his hands from the outside, and he projected wildly on the outside, although this can also score, but the lethality is much less. If Chen Jiyuan can greatly reduce his outside shots, there should be more goals.
On the outside, in the distance of two points for the large number, the proportion of shots is quite high. Chen Jiyuan gives the feeling of Dirk Nowitzki, who can't shoot three-pointers. But Chen Jiyuan's back and basket are much better than Dirk Nowitzki. This can be regarded as the essential difference between the two people. Otherwise, as a power forward, a center. Both men have a quasi-perverted outside shooting technique. It's really hard to tidy up.
O'Neal's ball, although there is not much hope of being fouled, but after Chen Jiyuan shook O'Neal, he took a short distance forward with his right foot, and then dodged O'Neal's huge body, his left foot did not move, and then jumped, from the small gap next to O'Neal, grabbed the ball with his right hand and threw the ball to the basket, the ball knocked the basket, and then obediently rolled into the basket. 87:83γ
After scoring this goal, the Knicks can be considered to have stabilized their position a little.
Later, on the Suns' side, Nash made a wonderful second pass to Jason Richardson on the outside, but Richardson's three-pointer did not score, although it was empty.
However, if it is being scored, the Suns' three-point shot is a bit speechless for the Knicks. It's not just one.
However, Amare Stoudemire is going to grab the frontcourt rebound, but how could Lefu let Amare Stoudemire succeed so easily, and on O'Neal's side, Chen Jiyuan was also stuck in O'Neal, seeing the ball flying towards his side, Chen Jiyuan looked at the distance about the same, jumped quickly, and quickly put the basketball back into his arms with his right hand. Successfully collected the rebound.
After grabbing the rebound, Chen Jiyuan gave the ball to Sessions, the Knicks launched an attack here, this time Chen Jiyuan received the ball here, Chen Jiyuan leaned on O'Neal again, and then, or the position of the previous ball, this time, Chen Jiyuan still turned to the left, this time O'Neal still followed Chen Jiyuan's footsteps, but as soon as Chen Jiyuan's left foot landed, Chen Jiyuan instantly exerted his strength, kicked the ground, and forcibly dragged his body back, and then made a jump shot, O'Neal was turning back his body, When it was too late to adjust the center of gravity to defend Chen Jiyuan, Chen Jiyuan's mid-range shot had already been made, and the ball was still firmly hit. 89:83γ
On the offense of the Suns, Nash burst into the basket and hit a high board, but, under the interference of Chen Jiyuan, Nash did not score the ball, however, because Chen Jiyuan jumped towards Nash, the ball was just jumped out of the basket and was reorganized by O'Neal. O'Neal took advantage of Chen Jiyuan to make up for Nash, jumped up and grabbed the ball and pressed it into the basket fiercely. 89:85γ
The Knicks attacked, and Chen Jiyuan took the ball again. In fact, after entering the fourth quarter, Chen Jiyuan was already 3 of 3 and scored 6 points.
This ball, Chen Jiyuan faced O'Neal, a right side of the acceleration, and then a sudden disguise to the left, O'Neal's footsteps were a little unable to keep up, Chen Jiyuan passed by O'Neal's side, rushed into the inner line, O'Neal chased behind him, Amare Stoudemire was also running for Chen Jiyuan in front of him, Chen Jiyuan rushed to the basket, grabbed the ball with his left hand, and sent it forward, O'Neill and Amare Stoudemire both jumped at the same time and ran to the ball. However, Chen Jiyuan grabbed the ball with his left hand, and he didn't go to the basket at all, but just a feint, Chen Jiyuan's ball didn't jump at all, Chen Jiyuan retracted his center of gravity, adjusted his body, turned around, and then, a layup, easily threw the ball with his right hand hook. Chen Jiyuan's eighth point in the fourth quarter of the game. Just eight points is nothing, and this is not too big a thing for Chen Jiyuan. However, what follows is beyond everyone's imagination. 91:85γ
The Suns' offense, O'Neal's inside single, caused Chen Jiyuan's foul, but this is Chen Jiyuan's fourth foul, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being.
O'Neal was very awesome, and he made two free throws and one goal. This is not easy for O'Neill. 91:86γ
You can't really ask for too much for O'Neal's free throws, just like you can ask for too much for Nash, defensively, you really can't let him do too much. The shortcomings of both are so obvious that you're embarrassed to ask for more.
The Knicks' offense, Chen Jiyuan's catch here, this time the Suns finally began to have a bit of a bag, because Chen Jiyuan's table in the third quarter was so sluggish, so the bag of Chen Jiyuan was relaxed, and now Chen Jiyuan scored again and again, and had to clamp the bag here.
However, before the bag came up, Chen Jiyuan started, broke through to the left side, and then kicked forward with his right foot, stepped back, made a jump shot, and the ball entered the basket again. 93:86γ
All five shots were on target. 10th. Something is wrong.
