Chapter 544: Starki Rises
Chen Jiyuan is quite satisfied with the current situation of the team, sitting on the field, watching the players on the field fighting and fighting, every player is not lacking in fighting spirit. This is the strongest team in Chen Jiyuan's imagination. Fighting spirit is always the basis for measuring whether a team can do something that is a miracle in the eyes of others. Chen Jiyuan feels that as long as he has an unquenchable fighting spirit, then no matter what so-called impossible events can happen on his team. What is 30 points behind the reversal or something, what 0:3 behind no team to turn the tables. As long as there is an endless desire to fight, Chen Jiyuan believes that these are not "miracles".
As soon as the Knicks stretched the score to double digits, someone here stepped up to respond to the Knicks' behavior.
Philadelphia 76ers offense, this ball, Starkey with the ball, in the face of Marcus Thornton's defense, Starkey is still relatively easy to break through, after all, Marcus Thornton is a small disadvantage in lateral movement.
Starkey didn't have much effort to rush past Marcus Thorton's side. Marcus Thorton watched Starkey speed up to himself, and for a moment just watched Marcus Thorton run inside, and at this moment, Chen Jiyuan saw a big dissatisfaction on Thibodeau's face. It's definitely something that Thibodeau can't bear, your defensive strength is not good, Thibodeau can help you train and help you strengthen your defensive strength, but if your attitude is not good, then Xibodeau's elimination will not matter to you. You must know that defensive attitude determines how much defensive strength a person can exert in a certain way.
Now, if Marcus Thorton can't correct his defensive attitude quickly, then Thibodeau will definitely not continue to use Marcus Thorton. After all, it's definitely not like the Knicks can't function without Marcus Thorton. This is the confidence of Thibodeau, and now Jamal Crawford is still sharing playing time with Marcus Thornton. You, Marcus Thornton, are if you're a manager. That's something Jamal Crawford loves all too much. This thing is afraid of comparison, and although Jamal Crawford's defensive attitude is not very satisfactory to Thibodeau, it is at least a little better than this Marcus Thorton's defensive attitude.
The ball Starkey broke through Marcus Thornton's defence and threw it straight away before Serge Ibaka could come up. The ball bounced twice on the basket before it went into the basket. 33:24。
After Sessions held the ball past half, facing the defense of Louis Williams, Sessions' began to prepare to single Louis Williams, because although his teammates were trying their best to run, they had not seen any good positions for the time being, and if Serge Ibaka was given a low single, there was little hope. It's a little more reliable to give Fu a low-post single, but it's hard to say how much success rate Ayrton Brand can play in the face of it, it's better to come by yourself, Louis Williams is relatively thin, and Sessions believes that he still has a great scoring rate.
Sessions the ball, at the top of the arc, leaned on Louis Williams with his back, and then, suddenly, turned around, using his advantage in strength, directly passed Louis Williams, after a little gap, Sessions jumped directly out of the middle of the hand, Louis Williams still wanted to block the ball behind him, but it was a steal.
Sessions shot the ball in, and because of the interference of Louis Williams behind him, the ball Sessions landed unsteadily, after all, Louis Williams behind him hit Sessions, so a 2+1 was so simple to succeed.
Sessions clenched his right hand into a fist and sat on the ground, waiting for his teammates to pull him.
It was a very normal thing, but it was a comic situation.
Sergi Ibaka, who was fighting with Brand on the other side, wanted to step forward to give Sessions a hand, but he ran too fast all of a sudden, and when he wanted to brake, he didn't stop the car, which was really funny. Sergi Ibaka, who wanted to pull people up, sat on the ground himself. Love and Matt Barnes, who arrived later, couldn't help but laugh.
The two men stepped forward together and pulled up the two people who were sitting on the ground. At this time, there is no show of O'Neal's five embarrassments, otherwise, this scene must have been booked as one of the five embarrassments.
Sessions was pulled up, walked to the free throw line and made a free throw. Sessions' free throws were pretty secure. The free throw went in safely. 36:24。
Philadelphia 76ers Starkey once again used his own singles to help the team get two points, Starkey and Elton Brand in the high post two people to block and dismantle, after the block, there was a little chance to shoot, Starkey directly is a high post jumper, the ball in. 36:26。
Although Starkey's three-point shot has not been very accurate, he is not very lacking in confidence, especially here, in Philadelphia, no one can suppress Starkey, and Starkey naturally has all kinds of shots. Regardless of the progressive goal, the first shot will be spoken. Of course, Staki himself is not particularly fond of promiscuity, which is more or less related to Thibodeau's training, so Staki chooses more to go inside. Purely speaking of speed, Starkey is not a top player, and his athleticism is also mid-to-high, but among scoring guards, Starkey's collision ability is also good, and in the position of point guard, then Starkey's strength is a more obvious advantage.
Sessions and Love blocked and then passed to Love, who made a jumper and missed the ball and Elton Brand grabbed the rebound. After that, the ball was passed to Starkey, who ran forward with the ball, and Marcus Thorton's retreat was relatively slow, but the defense of Sessions and Matt Barnes was quite trustworthy, both in terms of defensive awareness and defensive attitude. The two of them defended in time, but Starkey didn't stop, he still rushed into the inside line, Sessions defended first, and Starkey went to the inside line with Sessions, which was completely starting to play power flow.
Sessions isn't Martin's skinny player, but he's not that strong. With this ball, Starkey took advantage of his speed to arch away Sessions, and then with a reluctant shot, the ball hit the rebound and bounced into the basket. Sessions was going to cut off the ball that Starkey had lifted when he was arched. But it didn't touch the ball. Instead, he was whistled for a foul by the referee.
Sessions waited for the penalty kick and opened his hand to the referee, looking very innocent. Although he received the penalty for this foul, he had to let the referee know that he was innocent. Tell the referee that he didn't touch Starkey at all. Although it is impossible to change the decision, it is important to know that one of the next balls may be decided in favor of Sessions.
Starkey's free throw was also successful. 36:27。
Starkey has scored seven points in a row. With a long time to go in the half, Starkey had already scored 19 points. However, this is not the end of the day.
The next ball, Matt Barnes's outside three-point opportunity, Sessions rushed into the basket, very, very deep position, and then transferred the ball widely, giving the ball to Matt Barnes's hand, Matt Barnes was empty in front of him, Matt Barnes jumped out of the three-point shot directly, Matt Barnes has the ability to shoot three-pointers. Although the shooting percentage is not very good, there is no one in front of Matt Barnes right now. Naturally, I had to do it. But alas, this goal did not go in.
Serge Ibaka also scrambled for the rebound, but was still grabbed by Speights, mainly because the three-point shot jumped a little far, and Serge Ibaka's position was a little inside. So I can't reach this rebound at all.
After grabbing the rebound, Speights passed the ball to Louis Williams, who also wanted to pass the ball fast, but this time the Knicks' retreat was very fast, and Love reached out to interfere with Louis Williams to dribble forward.
Philadelphia could only wait for the player to settle down, Louis Williams saw that it was almost, passed the ball to Starkey, and after Starkey received the ball, he threw the ball to Speights on the other side, as if to pass the ball, in fact, it was to distract the defender slightly, and then Starkey directly quickly started to go inside, Marcus Thornon seemed to be a little distracted by the action of the pass, and the result was that when he saw that Starkey had moved, it was too late for him to chase when he wanted to get up and chase it, What's more, Marcus Thorton has no intention of chasing. Marcus Thorton thought after him, and when he saw that he couldn't catch up, he ran two steps and didn't move. Watch the players on the inside defend. Although Sergi Ibaka came forward in time from the other side to make up for the defense, it was impossible to catch up, because Brand's mid-range shooting was quite good, so Sergi Ibaka was pulled quite outside, Sergi Ibaka could only try his best to go inside, as for whether he could prevent the ball, it could only depend on the level of the offensive players.
Starki was clearly a very high-quality offensive player, and the ball was directly evaded Sergi Ibaka's defense and made a quick layup. 36:29。
Unable to wait any longer, at this time, Thibodeau stood up and asked for a timeout. We're going to have to interrupt the momentum of the Philadelphia 76ers.
