Chapter 543: The strength of the substitute

Stephen Jackson faced Thaddeus Young's attack, and the effect was indeed good, although the advantage was a little, but it was more than that, because Stephen Jackson's hand was really good today. Stephen Jackson is, after all, a man who can average 20+ points per game. To say that the offensive ability is definitely there. It's just that the grasp is not particularly large, so the right to shoot in the Knicks is naturally limited.

When seven minutes passed in the first quarter, the Knicks and the 76ers were inseparable. In front of the fans in New York, Starkey wants to prove his strength and value, and let the fans in New York know how strong their former starting point guard is. Throughout the first quarter of the game, Starkey single-handedly propped up the Philadelphia offense.

At seven minutes, the score was 15:13. The Knicks have a two-point lead for the time being. At this time, both sides have replaced substitutes.

The Knicks have brought on Sergi Ibaka, Ty Gibson, Matt Barnes, Jamal Crawford, and Stephen Curry.

The 76ers were replaced by Speights, Roy Ive, Capono and then Starkey and Elton Brand were all off the floor. Starkey was playing with his life and trying to prove in front of Knicks management how wrong they were by not giving him a salary set.

After coming to Philadelphia, Starkey did sit on the low position of the leader of his team. Although Stucky still needs to use his own watch to stabilize his low position, after all, even if it is Elton Brand who returned from injury, but after all, he was once an All-Star level player who averaged 20+10 per game in a season, and you say you are the boss, you are the boss. I also said I was the president of the United States. At the end of the day, you still have to show your strength.

In Chen Jiyuan's first year, at the beginning of the New York Knicks, wasn't he so recognized, but because most of the team's main players were not particularly old fritters, Chen Jiyuan temporarily became the core of the team, but, soon, Chen Jiyuan really became the leader of the New York Knicks, why? Big brother, are you blind, can't you see that average more than 30 points per game, can't you see that average more than 10 rebounds per game, can't you see that occasionally unhappy and have to score more than 40 points to win the game. Why did he become a leader, because Chen Jiyuan showed the strength to make the entire league tremble, when he was in the Cavaliers, although James was willing to share some of the ball with himself, so that he could also average more than 20 points per game, but, after all, the team's first choice was not himself, but James. Chen Jiyuan can only be obediently a little brother to others. But it's different in New York, Chen Jiyuan is the complete king of New York. It's the Big Apple King. It is an important existence that no one can ignore.

Now Starkey is in a similar situation to Chen Jiyuan's time, if you want the current Elton Brand to support a team, it is a bit reluctant, and everyone else is obviously not the material to be the leader of the team, but, despite this, no one will be willing to become your Starkey's boss status lightly. Unless you can show your strength and make everyone submit to you.

Therefore, this season is also quite important for Starkey, whether he can go to the top of the position, he has to look at his own performance, and rely on himself to fight for it.

However, although Starkey wanted to fight for it, he still couldn't stop the Philadelphia 76ers from falling behind.

Stephen Curry, who seems to be a bit out of rhythm, finally showed his amazing three-point shooting and dribbling skills that have been overlooked in this game. Stephen Curry's dribbling is never a problem, but the problem is passing. The current Stephen Curry is still slightly lacking in both vision and skill in passing. But that's completely enough, and no one has made Stephen Curry Chris Paul. Stephen Curry just needs to grow into Stephen Curry. As long as he can still be perverted accurately, then Chen Jiyuan will be happy.

After the two sides changed to the bench, Stephen Curry came up under the defense of Starkey. Shot a three-pointer and the ball went into the basket, while Starkey was blocked on offense, and after rushing inside twice in a row, he was interfered with by Sergi Ibaka and missed two consecutive basketballs.

The Knicks, on the other hand, put all their offensive focus on the perimeter. After all, Jamal Crawford has the strength of the best sixth man, even if he wants to trade Jamal Crawford, Thibodeau will not give up Jamal Crawford when Jamal Crawford is still with the New York Knicks.

In this game, after Jamal Crawford came on the court, although on the defensive end, because he didn't have to play against Starkey, the task was not very heavy, defending Roy Ivey, Jamal Crawford was still okay, and when Jamal Crawford had the ball, he beat Roy Ivey on the offensive end. Jamal Crawford made a three-pointer directly in front of Roy Ivey, and not only did the three-pointer score, but also caused Roy Ivey to foul, thus. A wonderful 3+1 has been achieved. Jamal Crawford is the league's most four-point player. This is also due to Jamal Crawford's not-so-strong body, and it is precisely because of this body, a lot of movements, that James does this is an obvious fake fall, but Martin and Jamal Crawford do it, which makes you feel so natural.

At the end of the first quarter, although Starkey did not rush into the interior very well, he still showed his scoring ability well in the middle distance and fast break.

Throughout the first quarter of the game, the score of the two sides was 27:22. Starkey alone scored 12 points. Scoring a double-double in a single quarter is already a pretty good result. But Starkey was clearly disappointed that his team was falling behind. In the New York Knicks, they are used to winning, and now they are in the midst of a team that is not weak, and it must be very uncomfortable to lose.

At the beginning of the second quarter of the game, the Knicks were still the bench lineup, but the Philadelphia 76ers had replaced all the main players, in the Philadelphia 76ers, although Samuel Dylerporter was the starting center, but in fact, the playing time was often not very much, but it was the substitute Speights, sometimes if Speights played a good game, then the head coach would give Speights a little more playing time, completely using Speights as a convulsive player. In this game, although Speights was not particularly outstanding after coming on the field, under the defense of Ty Gibson, Speights' offensive ability was still reflected, and as for Samuel Daimpoter's offensive ability, it was completely negligible. After this second quarter of the game, the Philadelphia 76ers still did not replace Samuel Delham Porter, but let Speights play on the court. After all, Speights can be inside and out, and he will be able to help Starkey pull the inside out of the space.

In the second quarter of the game, Starkey still didn't rest. This made Chen Jiyuan have to sigh, young is good. If others heard Chen Jiyuan's words, there would definitely be an urge to strangle Chen Jiyuan. How old is Chen Jiyuan, this year's Chen Jiyuan is only 24. Just 24 years old. He even said that others were young, as if he was very old, and said that no one was holding him when he was beaten.

This season, because of the growth of other players and the fact that the substitute players are really good, Chen Jiyuan has already talked to Thibodeau to reduce his playing time. It's not just good for the playoffs, it's good for the long term of your career. Thibodeau also had no reason to disagree. After all, only the current Knicks are really not worried about whether they can enter the playoffs, first of all, not to say that the Knicks are in the East, just to say that there is a team that was able to enter the Eastern Conference Finals the year before, and then the lineup basically did not change much in the second year. As a result, I couldn't even make the playoffs.

At the beginning of the second quarter of the game, the Knicks were still the main players and bench players. Jamal Crawford was replaced with Sessions. Stephen Curry was also substituted. Marcus Thorton was substituted. Because the back line is full of talent. Thibodeau is also full of difficulties in the allocation of playing time.

However, Marcus Thornton must have played less minutes, after all, he is a second-round rookie, although he has shown good offensive ability in training, and the defensive end on time does not satisfy Thibodeau, which is the biggest problem. As for Stephen Curry, it was because of his very good defensive attitude, and fortunately, Thibodeau was not a particularly stubborn person, so he still gave Marcus Thorton some playing time.

The Knicks' simultaneous substitution was the replacement of Ty Gibson and the replacement of Love. In this way, the Knicks' lineup on the court has become Serge Ibaka, Love, Sessions, Marcus Thornton, and Matt Barnes.

Everyone thinks that Chen Jiyuan is not often played, and now the Philadelphia 76ers may want to chase the score back. Marcus Thorton told them that it was you blind people who let Lao Tzu fall to the second round.

Marcus Thornton received a pass from Sessions and hit two jumpers in a row. directly let the score difference be further widened.

Marcus Thorton's projection ability is very strong, and he has the ability to shoot without dead spots in all directions. Coupled with the continuous breakout of Sessions, who suddenly opened up this season, Marcus Thorton has a very good opportunity to shoot, which makes Marcus Thornton's goal more likely. However, when it comes to running without the ball, Marcus Thorton does need more workouts, and his running position is messy and poor. It's rare to be able to run out of a big space with little effort.

The second quarter of the game was just a minute into it. With two three-pointers from Marcus Thornton, the score suddenly became 33:22.

The person who was most unwilling to fail like this finally stood up and began to go crazy.
