Chapter 474: Three Pairs?
The defensive battle between Quex and the Cavaliers has been going on, in fact, the Knicks have made a passive choice to strengthen their defense, because Chen Jiyuan can't open the offensive situation for a long time, so he must strengthen his defense, and the defensive tactics against James and Gibson must be implemented to ensure that the score is not pulled apart.
In the fourth quarter, both sides scored very little, and by the time there were four minutes left in the game, the score was still 95-95. The Knicks' one-point lead turned into nothingness.
The Cavaliers attacked, and James was really a little tired. In fact, the main players of both sides with the Knicks have been playing for too long today.
Chen Jiyuan's body on the Knicks' side is not good, but he can still play, but it will slightly affect his state.
James shot a big two-pointer from the outside, and while that's not how James shoots often, he does use it occasionally. After all, it's impossible for a player to attack in one way entirely.
However, the ball did not enter the basket, and Chen Jiyuan successfully protected the rebound.
After grabbing this rebound, Chen Jiyuan had 14 points and 10 rebounds today, with 7 assists and 4 blocks in his overall count. If he can make three assists, then Chen Jiyuan's watch today is perfect. Although the score is a bit small, it always feels like this is not the demeanor of a two-time scoring champion in a row.
Since Chen Jiyuan entered the league, he has shown his ability to score beyond ordinary people, after the rookie season, Chen Jiyuan has averaged more than 30 points per game for two consecutive years, and in the regular season, Chen Jiyuan's single-game score is rarely lower than 20, and the number of consecutive scores of 20 has been quite long. However, Chen Jiyuan obviously doesn't care about this kind of record at all, and only some editors who don't have news will talk about these things.
So there are still four minutes left, but Chen Jiyuan only scored 14 points, which is quite surprising.
After Chen Jiyuan protected the rebounding ball, he passed the ball to Sessions, who took the ball through the half court and slowly began to organize the offense, not in a hurry at all.
Sessions took the ball, and then passed the ball to Stephen Jackson outside the three-point line, Stephen Jackson hoisted the ball to Chen Jiyuan in front of him, after Chen Jiyuan received the ball, he singled Ben Wallace with his back, although Ben Wallace is old, but Chen Jiyuan doesn't feel good today, so letting Ben Wallace defend Chen Jiyuan has achieved quite good results, so the Cavaliers have been sending Ben Wallace to defend Chen Jiyuan, this ball, Chen Jiyuan although his hand is not good, but he does not intend to retreat, I still plan to find my own feel and want to single Ben Wallace by myself, but the Cavaliers didn't let Chen Jiyuan get his wish, Chen Jiyuan received the bag again, James was supposed to be defending Stephen Jackson, but James shrank inside, and then prepared to wrap Chen Jiyuan, but Chen Jiyuan saw James coming, and instantly passed the ball to Stephen Jackson, after Stephen Jackson received the ball, he made a three-point shot, and James quickly withdrew outside the net, wanted to defend Stephen Jackson, but Stephen Jackson quickly gave the ball to Chen Jiyuan on the inside, and again it became Chen Jiyuan singles Ben Wallace, James withdrew to the inside again, Chen Jiyuan waited until James was close this time, and then gave the ball to Stephen Jackson on the outside, Stephen Jackson received the ball and shot a direct three-point shot, although James tried his best to return to the defense, but the effect was obviously not very good, Stephen Jackson's three-point shot was still a solid hit, 98:95ă
Chen Jiyuan's eighth assist, and Chen Jiyuan is still the last two assists left from the playoffs triple-double.
The Cavaliers attacked, James broke through, and then pulled up for a jumper. The two-point shot was hit, this ball was a mistake in Stephen Jackson's judgment, Stephen Jackson thought James was still going to rush inside, but he didn't expect James to be able to jump and shoot a two-point shot again after not hitting a two-point shot. 98:97ă
Now compared with James in his previous life, maybe fans and anyone can't see anything, but Chen Jiyuan, who is in his previous life and even NBA history, knows that James is not the James in his previous life, and he can't say that he is not, it should be said that compared with James in his previous life, the current James is obviously a little stronger, because the current James has never chosen to shoot by himself at critical moments, and although he is still not confident enough in his jump shot, But I don't want to shoot so few times like the same period in my previous life.
James' current three-point shooting average is 3.9 per game, compared with James in his previous life, the average of 4.7 shots per game in his previous life is obviously more, but James's three-point shooting rate in his previous life was 34.4 percent, and the current James three-point shooting rate can reach 37.1 percent. Don't underestimate less than three percentage points, this subject is not necessarily achievable after a long period of hard work.
The reason why James has fewer shots and a high shooting percentage can be attributed to Gibson, because Gibson's saving zĂ i makes the Cavaliers' outside shooter really enough. Gibson and Mo Williams are already quite a big three-point threat, and Gibson is not to mention that Mo Williams is also averaging 5.2 three-pointers per game and shooting 43.6 percent.
With two people here, first, James doesn't need to shoot so many three-pointers, and second, instead of shooting three-pointers himself, it is better to leave the outside shooting opportunities to Gibson and Mo Williams, and choose to rush into the interior to put pressure on the opponent's interior line, so that Gibson and Mo Williams have a better chance to shoot is the best policy. James deliberately reduced his three-point shots, and James was more cautious in the choice of three-point shots. This is also the reason for the increase in hit rate.
The current James must be a little more mature than the James in the previous life, it can be seen that a championship still makes James grow a lot, although the time with Chen Jiyuan is not very common, only a short season, but this season will have a lot of impact. In particular, Chen Jiyuan's departure will have a great impact on James, after all, after experiencing the season of the Cavaliers, Chen Jiyuan has grown into a superstar. At that time, Chen Jiyuan was already the most popular big man in the league. There are countless suitors. Such a player taking the initiative to leave James's side will have a considerable impact no matter how you say it.
The psychological maturity has made James more powerful, and it has also made the current knights even stronger.
The Knicks attacked, Sessions launched an attack on the outside, and now that Starkey is not on the court, naturally he can only let Sessions attack, and he can't let Tony Allen attack.
Sessions took advantage of Lefou's blocking and dismantling to rush inside, and the two players on the Knicks' interior can go out to block and dismantle, but Lefou's ability to go down is slightly weaker, and Lefu chooses to make jump shots in the high post, and in terms of jump shots, Lefu is still quite qualified and accurate.
After Sessions rushed up with Lefou's pick-and-roll. went inside, but when it came to the basket, James withdrew to make up for the defense, because James was defending Stephen Jackson in the bottom corner on the right side, so the ball was withdrawn relatively quickly, before James blocked Sessions once, this ball Sessions did not score in the basketball under James' interference, but Chen Jiyuan stuck Ben Wallace and grabbed an offensive rebound. After grabbing the rebound, there was no chance, because the Cavaliers' defense shrank back very quickly, first protected the ball, and then aimed at the middle, and in an instant, the ball was handed out from Ben Wallace's armpit, and Lefou, who cut into the middle, received the ball and flew directly, even if it was a floor flow, sometimes it was bloody. After all, with someone like Chen Jiyuan, with the inside line. It will be affected a little bit.
After receiving the ball, Love flew up and was in the air, dodging Anderson Vallejo's block and dunking the ball directly into the basket. 100:97ă
The Knicks hold a three-point lead.
Soon, though. A three-pointer on the Cavaliers' side made the Knicks' advantage disappear.
Gibson received a pass from Mo Williams from the outside, and Gibson showed that he managed to run a little bit of space with Anderson Vallejo's cover, and then received the ball from beyond the three-point line and shot a three-pointer. The ball went into the basket, and at this critical moment, it can be said that it is not easy to hit such a three-point shot. 100:100ă
The competition has entered a white-hot stage. The Knicks attacked again, but Stephen Jackson made a pull-up jump shot, the ball didn't go in, Ben Wallace grabbed the rebound, launched an attack, Ben Wallace passed the ball to James, James received the ball and came on a long run. After halftime, he wanted to make a quick dunk, but Stephen Jackson naturally wouldn't agree, Stephen Jackson was on the side, and Chen Jiyuan was also looking for an opportunity.
James still rushed into the interior by himself and wanted to make a dunk, but, under the interference of Stephen Jackson, James had to choose to avoid Stephen Jackson, so it became a layup, but the problem is that behind James and Stephen Jackson, there is still someone eyeing it.
Chen Jiyuan saw through James's lever trajectory, and reached out to run to the basketball in James's hand.
James couldn't dodge the hand that had been lurking, the ball in his hand was directly fanned by Chen Jiyuan, and flew to the bottom corner, Gibson saw the ball from three points away and wanted to pick it up, but as soon as he saw that it was dangerous, he gave up again, anyway, the ball was fanned by Chen Jiyuan, and it must be the knight's ball.
Chen Jiyuan contributed another big hat, although because he was away, after this goal, Chen Jiyuan only heard boos.
