Chapter 554: Star Andre Iguodala
Andre Iguodala's small outburst has boosted the team's momentum.
It seems that a lot of teams, including the Bucks, have forgotten a little bit about it. Admittedly, in these games for the Knicks, including the final period of games for the Philadelphia 76ers, Andre Iguodala's scoring has indeed shown a clear downward trend.
But after all, Andre Iguodala is still the man who can average 19.9 points per game in a season. There are also many times when the score is over 30. You really can't completely ignore this guy's scoring ability. As soon as you ignore it, he can give it to you and make you hurt for a while. And then if you keep this guy from scoring, he'll be able to get the whole team up and running with his passing and dedication. Hey, you say, isn't this kind of guy who can't beat people to death and respond to people, really annoying?
Andre Iguodala's outburst is far from over. It looked like the back-to-back was tiring for the rest of the players, but it didn't make Andre Iguodala feel any discomfort.
Andre Iguodala's scoring streak forced the Bucks to call a timeout to adjust. It looks like the defensive focus will shift to Andre Iguodala for some time to come.
At the end of the timeout, as everyone imagined, the defensive focus was really shifted to Andre Iguodala, after all, in the first half of the game, Chen Jiyuan had proved to everyone that his hand today was really cold. It may be that you were tired from the last game against the Cavaliers, or it may be that you just don't feel in this game.
However, in the first half of the game, he scored 2 out of 12 and scored 6 points. It can be said that it is very inconspicuous. Or if you don't save face for Chen Jiyuan, it will be very poor. With a 16 percent shooting percentage, it would be strange if you could be a leader of a team.
Charlie Bale is more tightly defending Andre Iguodala, while Andrew Bogut on the inside is also paying more attention to Andre Iguodala and is always ready to help.
After Sessions brought the ball past halftime, as a point guard, when a player, and a star-level player, played with his own self-confidence, when his hand was hot, he had to give the ball to the star, in this case, it was the right choice.
Sessions is obviously not a guy who prefers his own offense and ignores his teammates, this ball, gave the ball to Andre Iguodala who came to answer, Andre Iguodala took the ball, glanced inside, and then stretched out his hand, let Chen Jiyuan come forward to block Andre Iguodala, Chen Jiyuan came to the top of the arc, and Andre Iguodala blocked and dismantled, Andre Iguodala took advantage of Chen Jiyuan's blocking, please Charlie Bell's defense, Here, Charlie Bell was chasing Andre Iguodala from behind, and Andrew Bogut was also blocking Andre Iguodala's path in front of Andre Iguodala, clamping the ball carrier and blocking Andre Iguodala's passing path as much as possible.
Andre Iguodala pulled to the right, then threw the ball in the sky and left it alone. What a love affair.
And it turned out that Andre Iguodala was obviously not playing, but dared to throw the ball with full certainty, and Chen Jiyuan, who followed up in the middle line, jumped up and grabbed the ball with both hands. Let the ball be completely in your own control.
Then, a one-handed split slam, this ball Andre Iguodala threw relatively high in order to avoid the defense of Andrew Bogut and Charlie Bell, but it was still within the range of Chen Jiyuan's bounce, you know, Chen Jiyuan's bounce is absolutely super first-class in the entire league.
Eisen Ilyasova saw the intention of Chen Jiyuan and Andrei Iguodala to catch the ball, but when Eisen Ilyasova saw that Chen Jiyuan had jumped, he resolutely and quietly retreated. Eisen Ilyasova is still full of self-knowledge, this kind of ball, if it is not good, it will be regarded by Chen Jiyuan as a back-view brush top ten balls. And it was also the top 10 ball of the season, and for the sake of his reputation, Eisen Ilyasova instinctively retreated. 56:54。
The Knicks achieved a comeback lead. It's all thanks to Andrea Iguodala's explosive performance.
After Brandon Jennings dribbled the ball through the half, this time he chose to shoot by himself, with Andrew Bogut's blocking, a direct step back, and before Sessions reacted, he shot a direct three-pointer, which was very chic, and then the ball went directly into the net. 56:57。
Andre Iguodala attacked again with the ball, hard against Charlie Bale's defense, and forced a reluctant shot. The ball was really unstoppable, and the ball flew past the fingers of Andrew Bogut, who was helping to defend him, hit the board high, and then flew into the basket. 58:57。
Andrew Bogut shot from mid-range, the ball was deflected, Andre Iguodala grabbed the rebound, and then dribbled the ball through the half court by himself, but he was watched by Charlie Bell and Eisen Ilyasova together, and there was no chance, Andre Iguodala could only wait for his teammates to pass the half.
Andre Iguodala gave the ball to Sessions, who received it and shot a three-pointer, but the ball was deflected. Eisen Ilyasova grabbed the rebound and passed the ball to Brandon Jennings, who dribbled the ball through the half, and didn't wait for his teammates, and directly grabbed a three-pointer himself, but this is still relatively difficult. The three-pointer was on the sidelines, and Andre Iguodala defended it, and the ball didn't even touch the basket, and the board collapsed.
Stephen Jackson, who came back, received the rebound and quickly dribbled across the halfcourt. Then he was about to attack, but Sessions motioned for the ball to be played back, and Stephen Jackson hesitated before passing the ball to Sessions.
Sessions is deeply guided by the problem of bad hand feeling on his side of the team. So, when the game came to a fast-break matchup, Sessions felt the need to slow down the tempo of the game. All the Knicks need is to play steadily. Now, if you get caught up in the fast-running rhythm that your opponent wants, you'll put the game out of the hands of the Knicks.
After Sessions slowed down the tempo, and then broke through with the ball, Brandon Jennings' defense was not bad, but it was not good, this ball Sessions accelerated, but did not get a good position, Brandon Jennings' speed was still very good, however, Sessions dribbled behind his back and suddenly retracted his speed. Brandon Jennings also quickly closed the center of gravity, but Sessions crossed hard and gave the ball to Andre Iguodala who cut into the baseline, Andre Iguodala received the ball and ran to the basket, Andrew Bogut wanted to block Andre Iguodala's layup on the other side, but Andre Iguodala's body was not covered.
Unexpectedly, he carried Andrew Bogut's body and forcibly pressed the ball into the basket.
Andrew Bogut didn't have enough time to charge the ball, while Andre Iguodala was completely full of energy on the run. 60:57。
Sessions made a second pass. That turned Andre Iguodala's scoring streak into 12 points.
Brandon Jennings once again opted for a step-back jumper in front of Sessions. Brandon Jennings has fallen into singles mode. This goal is very difficult, but it is still scored.
Brandon Jennings continued to dribble under his crotch in front of Sessions, went inside, and after Sessions' retreat a little bit, Brandon Jennings collected the ball, stepped back, and shot. In one go, although the difficulty of the action is very high, Brandon Jennings does it coherently. The large two-point ball goes into the net. 60:59。
Andre Iguodala made another three-point jumper, but this time missed. On the one hand, Charlie Bell in front of him played with his life to interfere with Andre Iguodala's three-point shot, and on the other hand, it was possible that the three-point shot was running out.
Although the ball did not go in, in the process of the ball flying out, Lefu counted the landing point of the ball one step ahead, and then stood in a good position, squeezed Eisen Ilyasova away, and successfully grabbed the rebound in the front court.
After receiving this rebound, Lefu shook it, Eisen Ilyasova did not jump, Lefu jumped directly, and put his right hand on Eisen Ilyasova to prevent Eisen Ilyasova from blocking his ball. Hook your left hand and make a move. The ball also went into the basket. 62:59。
From leading, to being tied up, to falling behind, the Bucks' players are in a hurry. Especially under the premise that the Bucks' point guard Brandon Jennings is not the kind of person who is known for controlling the rhythm, the Bucks have started to play their own mess.
Brandon Jennings dribbled the ball past halftime and Brandon Jennings took the ball himself. And Brandon Jennings feels pretty good. As for Eisen Ilyasova, Andrew Bogut, Charlie Bell didn't feel very good.
As a result, in the third quarter of the game, the Bucks relied on Brandon Jennings to support himself, and when the Bucks focused more defensive attention on Andre Iguodala, Andre Iguodala began to choose more passing assists and give his teammates a chance.
Chen Jiyuan ate Andre Iguodala on the inside and scored two very close baskets in a row.
Throughout the third quarter, the Knicks' side was almost Andre Iguodala's one-man show. Scoring, rebounding, assisting, stealing, and blocking are all there.
In the third quarter of the game, Andre Iguodala had 15 points and five assists. One person set a score of 25 points. The Knicks scored a total of 29 points in the entire third quarter, which is a huge percentage.
At the end of the third quarter, the Knicks reversed the score and took the lead. The Bucks, under the Knicks' defense, didn't have any good shots. He scored 15 points.
73:67。
