Chapter 312: Half Time Ends the Game
The Knicks, who were cornered, are now in such a situation again, which is simply devastating.
Thomas finally asked for a timeout, otherwise, if it went on like this, the Knicks' hole in the first quarter would be a bit bigger. Now, with the strength of the Knicks, it will be a bit difficult to recover a gap of more than 20 points, or even 30 points in the late stage.
Thomas decisively changed his tactics and moved the center of the defense to the outside again, which was no way, and the outside crosshairs of the Cavaliers were too accurate today. It has to be restricted, or the Knicks won't have to play.
After the players from both sides returned to the game, reality gave Thomas another blow.
The strategy of being defensive on the outside is to be empty on the inside, because Ilgoskas is also quite good at mid-range. Therefore, Chen Jiyuan must also be a little far away from the rebound, although in such a position, someone breaks into the inside, and if he is making up the defense, it is too late, but it also depends on who the opponent is facing, and when facing James, this method is obviously quite too late. James shot many times when Chen Jiyuan's defense was in place, or caused a foul by Chen Jiyuan. Then in the basketball, James's speed is comparable to that of a guard, the speed, the strength, and the stability of the layup, which few people in the entire league can match. Now Thomas is pinning his hopes on Chen Jiyuan's supplementary defense near the three-second zone, and wants to rely on this to defend James, obviously overestimating Chen Jiyuan's defense, and also underestimating James's offense.
In this case, when the first quarter was over, the Knicks were already behind the Cavaliers with a score of 15:36. The 21-point gap was obviously a bit big, especially at the end of the first quarter.
After the end of the first quarter of the game, the players on the Knicks' side were listless, and there were not many wins ** less, Chen Jiyuan, who had no choice, decided to continue to struggle, and said to the players: "Hey, hey, this is the first quarter, we haven't lost the game yet, and it looks like it's time to go home." Cheer up, we still have a chance. ”
Chen Jiyuan's words may or may not be useful, but whether the backhand is useful or not, in the second quarter, the Cavaliers once gave the Knicks a heavy blow.
After Gibson came on the court, although he didn't want James to score as quickly as in the first quarter, Gibson made six three-pointers in the second quarter and didn't miss any of them. How many points is this, big brother, do the math, 3*6=18 points. So, how many points did the Cavaliers score in the second quarter? The answer is: 48 points. James scored just eight points in the second quarter, but his teammates completely took over the game. Delong? West scored 10 points in the quarter, and Szczebiak also scored 12. These guys scored in the second quarter of the Cavaliers, and on the other hand, they will find that the Knicks are in an embarrassing situation. Although Chen Jiyuan was also trying to score in the second quarter, and the knights who opened up the offense, Chen Jiyuan's offer was not so resolute, Chen Jiyuan was in the high position, in the low position, and won many times, and successfully helped the team get a lot of points, but although Chen Jiyuan scored 14 points, the rest of the people only scored 5 points in total. Although Sessions has the heart to score, but where is the scoring ability, Sessions, who is strictly guarded by James, has no chance to score at all, Sessions' offensive skills are not so nb, not to mention, the defender he is facing now is LeBron, one of the best defensive players in the entire league? What about James. Neither the slightest physicality is superior, and then, Sessions' offensive skills and techniques are mediocre, and his long-range projection is not so accurate.
At this time, the Knicks can really give up the game. The Knicks don't have any defense at all, and completely, they don't have any fighting spirit. Standing on the field, you just sit back and wait to lose.
At halftime, the Knicks trailed the Cavaliers by a full 44 points. The score was 34:78. It's a shame that the Knicks are not as scoring as much as the Cavaliers. Although Chen Jiyuan saw before the game that his teammates did not have any desire to win, he did not expect that it would be so bad, which Chen Jiyuan couldn't bear.
And Knicks fans are starting to leave the game early. There's no way around it, who let the Knicks hit someone like that.
Chen Jiyuan did not feel any displeasure about the behavior of these fans, on the contrary, Chen Jiyuan felt disgusted for disappointing these fans. After Chen Jiyuan's halftime break, when he was about to play, on the edge of the field, looking at the outside of the court, when those fans left one after another, Chen Jiyuan's heart really didn't know what it was like. This game has been lost, and Chen Jiyuan has to admit it, but Chen Jiyuan just doesn't want to give up the game. Chen Jiyuan sat on the court in pain, and Thomas had completely given up the game. Ready for a pure substitute lineup.
At this time, something that warmed Chen Jiyuan's heart appeared. It's not just a warmth, it's also a surprise, and it's also a super touching thing. There are a few fans, not many, probably more than a dozen. These fans don't know where to make a piece of cloth, it should have been brought when they came in, and later Chen Jiyuan found out that the back of the cloth was written with appleking.
And here, these cute fans are writing very simple, very clear words. The words are not big, but the fans have gone a lot, and these people are particularly prominent. And there are a few of them who are older.
On this cloth is written: "LosttheGame, WeLoveYou, WonTheGame." weloveyou,too。 ”
Very simple and easy-to-understand words, but, in the current Chen Jiyuan's opinion, it is so comfortable and happy for Chen Jiyuan. Chen Jiyuan almost left tears, Chen Jiyuan really didn't expect such a thing to happen again. I didn't expect that there would be such fans to cheer for me, and such fans to watch my game.
Chen Jiyuan suddenly felt that he had given up the game so early, was it wrong, Chen Jiyuan suddenly felt that if it wasn't for himself, it didn't matter how others scolded him, and it didn't matter what he was. Chen Jiyuan ignored Thomas's advice, and directly said to Thomas very strongly: "I want to play." “
Just such a sentence, and then Chen Jiyuan came to the field, and the players on both sides were surprised by Chen Jiyuan's behavior. Everyone knows what the consequences will be. However, Chen Jiyuan still chose to do so. After Chen Jiyuan came on the court, he bowed directly in the direction of these fans to express his gratitude, and then, after Chen Jiyuan stood up, he still faced these fans. Hammered his chest fiercely, and roared loudly: "Eon, baby! “
This action will naturally attract everyone's attention, and it will naturally make everyone pay attention to the behavior of those fans. A lot of journalists, a lot of videographers saw this cloth. All saw the contents of this cloth. These two sentences are aligned with many assumptions.
Many people were wondering why Chen Jiyuan would play at first, but now, everyone understands and understands why Chen Jiyuan bows and Chen Jiyuan shouts. Not only to thank these fans, but also to the promise of a few lovely fans. Next season, I'm going to do even better, I'm not going to let this happen on this pitch, I'm not going to make you go through something so sad.
Chen Jiyuan's appearance did not help the Knicks reverse the game, the gap is too big, I believe that the ball game that ends in the third quarter is still relatively common, but this kind of halftime ended the game. The main players only played 20 minutes. It's not often that games like this happen, especially in the playoffs.
In the end, the Knicks still lost to the Cavaliers. Lost at home to the Cavaliers. The big score was eliminated by the Cavaliers with a score of 2:4. The fifth-place Knicks, the 46-win Knicks, are in the first round. I didn't even taste the second round.
At the post-match press conference, of course, reporters will not fail to mention the matter of those lovely fans, and Chen Jiyuan's answer to this question is: "I love them." They filled me with strength and strength. In the off-season, I'm sure that the management will do a lot of things and we will be better and we will not be grieving such lovely fans. “
Chen Jiyuan's magnificence clearly reveals that the Knicks management is full of expectations for this offseason. I believe that Latin will not let the Knicks make the first round of the playoffs every year like this. The Knicks' offseason operation will also be quite attractive.
