Chapter 513: Silent Outburst
The Knicks were chased up by the Celtics, which was a big shock to the Knicks in terms of morale. The Knicks players after the death of this number are very easily excited. And once people are excited, they start to have no way to play calmly, and they are easy to start making mistakes.
However, if someone is excited, someone will naturally calm down. For example, our Sessions classmate.
Sessions also knows very well that the more anxious he is now, the closer he is to the end. At this time, it is necessary to think calmly to have a way to save the situation.
At the end of the timeout, the game restarted, the Knicks attacked, Sessions dribbled the ball outside, Chen Jiyuan stepped forward to block Sessions, but this blocking and dismantling obviously did not achieve the desired effect, and Sessions still did not have any good opportunity to enter the interior. This ball, the Celtics chose to let Ray Allen chase Sessions, instead of letting Perkins and Ray Allen switch defenses, everyone on earth knows that Perkins' footsteps are the slowest among the centers, you let such a person defend a guard with a height of 1.9 meters, are you invited by a monkey. Perkins is also very self-aware, if Perkins defends Sessions, then Sessions will definitely pass Perkins very easily.
Ray Allen's ball caught up with Sessions in a relatively timely manner, because Neperkins still delayed Sessions' forward route, but Sessions suddenly took a step back when Ray Allen came over, retreated to the three-point line, and then shot directly on the three-point shot before Ray Allen didn't react. It seems that Sessions is also playing with confidence. This three-point shot is still relatively difficult, but Sessions just threw this ball in. 62:55。
The Celtics could only watch as Sessions hit the three-pointer, and then the next time the Celtics tried to shoot a three-pointer, Pierce wanted to change the color of the Knicks from outside the three-point line. But Stephen Jackson's timely defense kept Pierce's three-pointer out of the picture. Stephen Jackson's defense is still quite good, although Stephen Jackson will start to decline soon, but now Stephen Jackson is still a quasi-star player, with a comprehensive offensive end, and the defensive end is a guy who can be used as the team's forward defensive gate.
Pierce's three-point shot missed, the rebound jumped far, the rebound was in the crowd, and was grabbed by Starkey, and after grabbing the rebound, Starkey ran all the way with the ball. After half the court, I found that there was no good opportunity, so I could only slow down again and wait for my teammates, Starkey held the ball in a high position and singled, Chen Jiyuan stepped forward to block and dismantle Starkey, Starkey took advantage of the cover, threw off the defense in one step, rushed directly to the inside, and was about to make a layup, but saw Garnett's deposit. This is really an unfortunate fact. Fortunately, Starki reluctantly passed the ball out, and the ball was passed to Chen Jiyuan in the high position, after Chen Jiyuan received the ball, he didn't stop the ball at all and made any movements, but at the moment of receiving the ball, he directly gave the ball to the bottom corner of the right side.
Chen Jiyuan did not attack in the high position, so he was naturally able to see the shape on the court more clearly.
Therefore, I have already seen Sessions's run, Sessions took advantage of the cover of Lefu and ran out of position in the bottom corner, but unfortunately Starkey has rushed to the inside, the ball is passed back, Chen Jiyuan just threw the ball to Sessions in the bottom corner, at this time Sessions already had Ray Allen's deposit in front of him, but Ray Allen's attention was not on Sessions before, so this ball, when Sessions received the ball, shot a three-point shot, which was a good opportunity, Now that Sessions' three-point shot has been trained hard, it is no longer his own shortcoming, although it is not a good job, but at least he can do it.
In the past, Sessions' three-point shot was only a little bit stronger than Starkey, but now it is more than N times stronger than Starkey.
This goal, Sessions, did not disappoint everyone, and successfully threw the ball in. 65:55。
When this three-pointer hit again, the Knicks once again got a double-digit lead, which was all due to Sessions himself, because during this time, Sessions went crazy to kill, and from the beginning of the third quarter to the present, he scored 10 points in a row to help the team stabilize its position. In this short period of time, Sessions' table was indeed so good that the Celtics could only watch the point difference become double digits again.
This time it was the Celtics' turn to lose their breath, and Doug Rivers asked for a timeout. It seems that the Celtics are also going to adjust their defensive strategy. I didn't pay enough attention to Sessions before. Because although Sessions was not a laggard in the previous competition, he was definitely not a good player. If the perfect score is 100 points, then Sessions' table is a 65 points. Sometimes the table xiàn is good, and sometimes the table xiàn is bad. Sessions didn't stand out under Ray Allen's defense, but today Sessions let Doug Rivers know his mistake.
It was a mistake to underestimate Sessions' offensive prowesss and Sessions is here to prove it today.
When the game returned to the court, Doug Rivers chose to let Rondo defend Sessions, on the defensive end, compared with Ray Allen, Rondo can actually make Doug Rivers more at ease, because Ray Allen is a three-point shooter, in the Celtics, Ray Allen's role is still quite heavy, and Ray Allen needs a lot of running every game, although this is relatively normal for a projection basketball star But the result of this means that Ray Allen will not be able to put the right body and spirit on the defensive end.
Therefore, Ray Allen's attention on the defensive end is indeed limited, and Rondo is different, Rondo is very clear about his positioning, Rondo's real strength lies in defense and the overall situation, in the organization of offense and defense, is the direction of Rondo's development, Rondo himself is still clear about his positioning, there are three giants of the Celtics, where is his Rondo's right to shoot.
Now, Doug Rivers asked Rondo to defend Sessions, also because Sessions' cousin was indeed a little too hungry during this time. So it's time to limit it. Ray Allen went to defend Starkey, who was a little sluggish during the time.
However, Sessions who came to the touch is obviously not so simple to be able to restrict, after being defended by Rondo, Sessions was still in front of Rondo, and Chen Jiyuan came to a blocking and dismantling cooperation, and then Sessions rushed to the inside, directly dodged Garnett's block, and made a layup, although the ball was a little reluctant on the basket. But at least the ball went in.
The Celtics have also started to make frequent successes on the offensive end, with the Big Three of Pierce, Ray Allen and Garnett coming together to make a difference. It can be said that Pierce was the initiator, Pierce rushed to the inside, disturbed the Knicks' defensive formation, and then found the gap Ray Allen was able to hit a three-point shot, and Garnett was more of a threat in the low post, so that the Knicks' defense did not do too much to save and empty the baseline and low post. It is unrealistic for a team to wait to break down the opposition's defense by attacking in the low post, and in the same way, a team must have a player who can play in the low post and pay attention. In the 2010-11 season, the Heat's low post was too low, which is one of the reasons why they lost to the Mavericks.
After three quarters of the game, although the Knicks still had the advantage, the difference in the score did not make the Celtics have any thoughts of giving up the game, and now the score on the court is 75-67. Although there is still a gap of nearly ten points, this is definitely not a Cheng dù who can sit firmly on the field and watch the wins and losses.
In this third quarter of the game, Sessions was eye-catching and became the team's first contributor to the team's ability to stabilize its position. Sessions started with 10 straight points. Throughout the third quarter, Sessions scored 17 points. Most of the time, Sessions didn't necessarily score that many points throughout the game, and now he has scored those 17 points in one quarter. It can be said that it is indeed a super explosion.
The fourth quarter of the game began immediately, and the breaks between the first and second quarters of the game, as well as the third and fourth quarters, were very short. Everyone adjusted their state a little and returned to the field.
In this crucial fourth quarter of the game, the five men sent by Thibodeau were Chen Jiyuan, Love Love, Sessions Sessions, Stephen Jackson, and Tony Allen. It can be said that it is quite surprising not to let Starkey play, because in the previous games, at the most critical moment, Thibodeau trusted Starkey more, and Starkey's watch is indeed quite qualified, although there is no particularly outstanding place, but at least there is no mistake.
Now, Thibodeau didn't let Starkey play from the start of the fourth quarter, which is rare.
The game restarted, the fight against his old club again, Tony Allen actually didn't feel much in particular, and no one paid much attention to this matter in the media, after all, Tony Allen is not a particularly famous star player himself. So playing against the old club is not a big deal. However, a player who may not seem like a star to the outside can decide a lot of things, and Tony Allen decisively lived up to the manager's expectations of letting him play.
