Chapter 504: Hurry up!
After completing this double block, Chen Jiyuan's number jΓΉ became closer to four pairs. The number of 29 points, 10 rebounds, 9 blocks, and 7 assists is already luxurious enough. Especially now that it's only the third quarter of the game.
After Chen Jiyuan blocked Rondo's layup, the Knicks launched a fast break, Sessions ran wildly on the left, and then passed the ball to Chen Jiyuan, who followed up in the middle, and Chen did not shoot after receiving the ball. A direct pass to the ground, to the right side of the cut into the inside Stephen Jackson, this ball Pierce's defense had a little mistake, so that Stephen Jackson seized the opportunity and successfully cut into the inside, and when Pierce wanted to chase, he was blocked by Lefou, and when he continued to chase in a circle, the daylily had already been eaten.
Stephen Jackson received a pass from Chen Jiyuan, directly a three-step, right-handed one-handed layup, but, unfortunately, this ball that could have increased the number of assists of Chen Jiyuan by one was blocked by Garnett behind, and the number of blocks of interior players on both sides today is relatively large. Especially Chen Jiyuan and Garnett.
However, although the ball was blocked, it was grabbed by Chen Jiyuan in the middle, and then Chen Jiyuan shook it, looking like he was about to shoot, but in fact it was just a feint, and Perkins, who had just rushed back, didn't think much about it, and jumped directly. The consequences naturally don't need to be thought about, Chen Jiyuan is jumping, the low hand of his right hand layup, although the ball was covered by Garnett, but Perkins's foul is undoubted. Chen Jiyuan got two free throws.
Chen Jiyuan walked to the free throw line.
The commentators for this game are, of course, T*NT's ace commentators Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley.
Barkley is optimistic about the Knicks, Chen Jiyuan's goal can naturally make Barkley excited, Barkley doesn't care that this is a national live broadcast, and shouted at Mike, "See, see, Chen made a beautiful feint, and easily shook the defender who worked so hard to come back." Lao Tzu just has a vision and is optimistic about the Knicks winning the championship this year. β
Kenny Smith squirted here with Barkley's big mouth, and then, when Kenny Smith wanted to speak, he naturally spoke, "Charles, you have to figure out who the Knicks are up against, and that was last year's championship." I think there's a good chance that Celtic will win back-to-back titles. β
Barkley's big mouth was of course unconvinced, "Hey, Kenny, didn't you see Chen shaking that dead fat man in a daze, his whole body was covered in meat, but he still couldn't withstand Chen's backbeating." Let me tell you, if Lao Tzu and I defend, I will definitely be able to make Chen never want to play again, Chen is just lucky not to be in the same era as me. Not to mention that fat man. It's not an opponent anymore. The Celts simply had nothing to do with Chen. β
Kenny Smith was really full of black lines at this time, and he had to weakly remind Barkley, "Charles, it seems, compared to Perkins, uh, in terms of proportion, you are fatter." β
Barkley instantly retorted, "Fart, this is muscle, can this be the same." β
Kenny Smith decided not to bother with Barkley, it was all. Decisively changed the topic back to the game.
However, the Celtics really have no way to take Chen Jiyuan. In fact, most teams know that how to defend with a few stars in the East is a big science, and it can be said that if that team can succeed in doing this, then it will be one step closer to reaching the finals.
Celtic are doing a good job of this. After all, it was last year's championship. They are more experienced in playing against various teams. It's all studied.
In fact, it needs to be noted that there are not so many stars in this Cheng dΓΉ, otherwise the head coaches of the whole league will go crazy.
First of all, the Cavaliers' James must be in this ranks, and James's invincible individual ability has been recognized by the whole league. And James also has a strong ability to organize and attack. It's a headache for everyone. Moreover, the Cavaliers are very obvious single-core mode, at least there are no two top stars.
So, how to defend James is a homework that every team in the East must do.
After James, another guy who leads the team alone and needs to study how to defend with super firepower is Chen Jiyuan. There was also an Iverson before. But now Iverson is clearly out of the picture.
James and Chen Jiyuan are both people with rings, and in a sense, they are both people who have proven themselves. After James and Chen Jiyuan, another person who needs to be paid more attention is Wade, mainly because Wade's season is a sudden rise. Last season, Wade was still a playful kid and an All-Star who averaged 24.6 points and 6.9 assists per game. Not to the point where one person leads a team to soar. But this season, it's not fun, and it has ruined the "harmonious" development of the league. This kid is averaging 30+7+5 per game this season. Have you considered other people's feelings. Have you ever thought about how much damage you do to someone else by doing this? Little Dede, don't do this in the future.
However, although Wade is indeed very good, his teammates are too bad, so it is not so helpless. After all, as long as Wade is strangled, then it is relatively simple to fight the Heat. If the point of attack is too single, this is the inevitable result.
The league's top stars will enjoy this treatment, and in the West, all teams need to think about how to defend Kobe Bryant. Especially the Lakers, who traded last season and also managed to reach the Finals, are already one of the league's number one public enemies.
However, these superstars, even if they are targeted by their opponents, can still play well, which is the fundamental meaning of a team spending a lot of money to earn a superstar.
Just like now, the Celtics must have studied how to deal with Chen Jiyuan, but it was not very useful, and Chen Jiyuan's performance in this game was still so good.
Chen Jiyuan hit all the free throws steadily. 65:67γ
After Chen Jiyuan hit a free throw, the Celtics suddenly began to attack aggressively. Fang Buddha suddenly found the same feeling on the offensive end, uh. It should be said that it is to find a touch on the offensive end, completely ignoring the Knicks' defense, speaking of which, the Knicks' defense is definitely in place, because Thibodeau everyone understands that such a strict defensive guy, on the strict stage of this Eastern Conference Finals, how can he easily forgive the players for the mistakes they made on the defensive end.
The Knicks' defense is indeed good, but the Celtics have a better touch, Pierce has it on the outside, Ray Allen has it on the outside, and Eddie House has it on the outside. The three of them didn't know how they had taken the wrong medicine. Shoot a three-pointer against the defense and score. So that the Knicks' defense had to let go a little bit, and they didn't dare to pile people inside. But instead of limiting the Celtics' offense, it allowed Garnett to take the opportunity to go inside twice. Successfully got the score.
Although Chen Jiyuan was able to score under the defense of the Celtics, how can one person score, the shooting rate of the rest of the Knicks has declined, and Chen Jiyuan was still caught by the Celtics, and he was treated as a trap the moment he received the ball. The Celtics also changed their defensive tactics to a 2-3 combo defense. The main purpose is to limit Chen Jiyuan's offensive ability in the low post. And once Chen Jiyuan was promoted to a high position, Perkins defended the main defense, Garnett assisted the defense, and at the same time, Pierce stepped forward for the first time to wrap up, not giving Chen Jiyuan any chance at all. Although teammates can also score, the scoring efficiency is not as good as that of the Celtics, and the score is gradually stretched.
By the end of the third quarter, the score had become 84-71. The margin has been stretched to double digits. The thirteen-point gap is not particularly large, but it is not small, and it is not so simple to properly surpass these thirteen points in a quarter of a game under the defense of the Celtics.
Kenny Smith naturally didn't let go of this opportunity, and took the opportunity to ask his old partner, "Hey, Charles, how do you feel?" Now, do you still think New York can win this game? β
Barkley looked at Kenny Smith with disdain, and at one point made Smith think that he had misread the score, thinking that the Knicks were leading by 13 points.
But when Kenny Smith looked down and took a closer look, he realized that it was indeed the Celtics who were 13 points ahead.
Barkley said to Kenny Smith with a puff of his toes, "It's only thirteen points, tell you, Kenny, if I'm here, thirty-three minutes is a matter of two or three minutes." Although there is still a slight gap between Chen and my strength, it is enough to recover these thirteen points. It seemed to be a swaggering tone, and Kenny Smith always thought it was a bit of a bluff.
However, in any case, the Celtics do have the upper hand right now.
For the next fourth quarter of the game, fans are looking forward to it even more. Who will be the winner of this game?
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the New York Knicks served first, and it was time to decide whether the game would be won or lost. Chen Jiyuan also very much wants to score hard and lead the team out of the predicament, and Chen Jiyuan has done this kind of thing before.
However, today it failed. Quite simply, Celtic's defense was very targeted. Chen Jiyuan didn't even have a chance to make a move.
Chen Jiyuan had to pass the ball to Stephen Jackson, who was blocked on the outside, speaking of which, Stephen Jackson definitely does not lack the confidence to shoot himself, but your confidence is good, and it is not appropriate to not score the ball.
Chen Jiyuan could only watch Stephen Jackson take two steps inside, and then, under Garnett's interference, failed to score a layup, and another offensive opportunity was wasted.
Chen Jiyuan, who is in a hurry, has no solution.
