The crucial fourth quarter of the game is coming, and for this Christmas battle, it is also coming to an end.

The Knicks still hold a ten-point lead, and the fans at home are excited about the game.

After all, on this special day, seeing the team beat a strong opponent is something that every fan will be happy about, and it is also the best gift that the entire Knicks team can give to the fans in New York.

However, although the Knicks think so, the Cavaliers don't want to give their fans a sad ending. After all, Americans still take Christmas very seriously.

Although Chen Jiyuan, as a pure Northeast gentleman, really has no feeling for Christmas, Chen Jiyuan likes Chinese festivals many times. Especially Chinese New Year's Eve. Chinese New Year can be said to be the most important festival for Chinese.

For Christmas, Chen Jiyuan is absolutely dispensable, but Americans attach great importance to it, and fans also attach great importance to the teams they like to support.

The fourth quarter also started quickly, and the players on both sides did not have much rest.

Rather than fielding a three-man lineup of swingmen before taking the field, Thibodeau put Matt Barnes and Andre Iguodala on the pitch as the team's No. 2 and No. 3 positions, respectively.

In fact, Matt Barnes is only 2.01 meters tall, originally, Matt Barnes's body is a little thin, so when he is on the defensive end, he sometimes has a size disadvantage when he is against the No. 3 position, so he can play the No. 2 position of a team, and with Matt Barnes' defensive strength, it can be regarded as playing his greatest role by strangling the opponent's leading scorer at the No. 2 position.

Thibodeau's decision to make Matt Barnes the team's power forward was indeed a reluctant move, and Ibaka had played too much time in the time leading up to this game and had to rest. Otherwise, it will also cause sluggishness due to exertion.

And Ty Gibson is because of James's fouls, which makes Ty Gibson's fouls a bit too much, and he needs to control it, and it is very likely that Ty Gibson will still need to play in the fourth quarter.

At last. Matt Barnes's hard defense is indeed effective, although JJ Hickson has okay offensive performance, but Matt Barnes is an old fritter after all, and there are always all kinds of small moves, so that JJ Hickson can't complete the action he wants to complete, which leads JJ Hickson to not have high offensive efficiency in the face of Matt Barnes, so James doesn't want to attack this position that seems to have a clear advantage.

Iguodala, on the other hand, is only 1.98 tall. But he is strong, and he can easily handle both the No. 2 and No. 3 positions. Even if there is a slight height disadvantage in the No. 3 position, it is not a matter at all, whether it is strength or bounce, it can make up for this small disadvantage.

The inside player combination is to put Ibaka and Ty Gibson on the field. This is mainly to let Chen Jiyuan take a break, even if he is a person with good health, he has to take a break after playing for so long, this is also to prepare for the second half of the fourth quarter of the game. And the point guard also brought Nate Robinson to the game. This period of time is basically for Iguodala to take the rest of the people on the court. I prepared for the last moment.

The Cavaliers also let James rest. After all, James played more time than Chen Jiyuan today, and many times the body of the inside players is worse than that of the outside players. However, even the iron man James has to ensure that he has enough body to maintain his efficiency.

The Cavaliers' interior line needs to rest even more, especially O'Neal, who continues to stay off the court, and seems to be ready to put O'Neal on the court in the final minutes.

As for the big forward JJ Hickson, he also rested, and it was Anderson Vallejo who came on the court, Anderson Vallejo except for a little glass accident in his body, but other places are still good, whether it is offense or defense, it is neither good nor bad, whether it is speed or strength, it is also not bad. To put it simply, it's a pretty good rotation player. Although Anderson Vallejo will be better in the future, Anderson Vallejo will also rest longer every season. Anyway, Anderson Vallejo is a person, and it would be inappropriate to magnify the contract on him, because his injuries will give you a headache, and if you hand over the inside sky to him, you will be even more worried about your hair.

The five men on the Knights were Anderson Vallejo, Zajunas Ilgoskas, Mo Williams, Anthony Parker, and Daniel Gibson.

In this lineup, the main point of attack is Daniel Gibson, but Daniel Gibson is not a player with the ball, so the ball is still more in the hands of others, and then Daniel Gibson takes the ball and shoots.

The game restarted, the Knicks attacked first, Nate Robinson is also a guy with offensive firepower, but the physical disadvantage cannot be made up for by hard work, his height is already destined to make him the team's starter, especially in the era when the players are getting closer to two meters tall and the point guard is getting taller and taller, his defense is a hard injury, a hard injury that cannot be improved.

After Nate Robinson dribbled the ball through the half, facing Mo Williams' defense, Nate Robinson didn't look at Mo Williams at all, his eyes looked like he was looking for a passing object, but at the moment when Mo Williams was distracted, he instantly pulled out a three-point shot.

It's strange to note that Nate Robinson isn't uncommon for him to shoot from three-point range as a guard, but he's shooting 44 percent from three-point range while shooting 39.6 percent overall.

Most people are not as accurate as three-point shots, but this product is obviously a wonder.

However, the 39.6% shooting rate is also related to his height, because of his height, Nate Robinson, who rushed into the interior, will definitely be under a lot of defensive pressure.

After all, many times the players who come to help defend themselves will have a height difference of 40 centimeters with themselves.

Nate Robinson's confident three-pointer also went into the net. Come up and be able to burst out of your own power, this is the advantage of Nate Robinson, however, Nate Robinson, who is extremely emotional, often wears love xù with the ball, if this love xù is pure passion, but unfortunately there will always be something else in it.

However, Nate Robinson's defensive weakness was instantly apparent when the Cavaliers were attacking, and it was difficult for Nate Robinson to interfere with Williams' shooting, after all, there was a height difference of more than a dozen centimeters between the two men. And Nate Robinson is not the kind of person with excellent arm span, or even a player with short legs and short hands, so naturally he can only watch Morella Williams shoot this three-pointer.

And Mo Williams obviously didn't feel cool.

Continued the rhythm of the game in the third quarter, hitting a three-pointer. 78:68。

On the Knicks' side, Nate Robinson continued to attack, even if the ball reached Iguodala's hand, Iguodala would pass the ball out, and it can be seen that Iguodala's offensive desire is not strong.

However, Nate Robinson can score and opponents can get it back on Nate Robinson's head. And more than Nate Robinson.

In the fourth quarter, when the game was four minutes into the game, the difference on the court not only did not widen, but was narrowed by Mo Williams.

Mo Williams simply ignored the defense in front of Nate Robinson.

But in fact, Nate Robinson can't be blamed entirely, because some of them have done a good job and the defense is relatively good, but Mo Williams still hit those balls, which can only be said to be Mo Williams' good hand.

At four minutes, the score was 82-77.

With only 5 points left, Thibodeau decisively called for a timeout, made substitutions, and reintroduced the main players.

Chen Jiyuan and Ty Gibson are paired with the inside line, and Stephen Jackson, Thorton, and Curry are paired with the outside line.

The Cavaliers also brought on James, O'Neal, Daniel Gibson, JJ Hickson, and Anthony Parker. Although Brown also wants to keep Mo Williams on the court, Mo Williams has been playing for too long and is tired of BB. Without letting him rest, Brown himself felt that he was too inhuman.

The fighting resumed.

The players who have just come on the pitch really have to find their form again, especially O'Neal, who has been sitting off the pitch for too long. It's already cold to the hand.

After getting on the court, Curry took advantage of Chen Jiyuan's block to shoot a three-pointer, but the ball didn't go in.

JJ Hickson on the inside protected the rebound, and then passed the ball to James, and the first person who thought of the interior players of other teams when they grabbed the rebound was the team's point guard, but in fact, the first person who thought of it was James.

James dribbles forward with the ball.

After halftime, James faced Stephen Jackson's defense, and the two men were almost in line with each other for the entire game.

James pulled the ball to the right, looking like he was going to go to the right to force a breakthrough, but Stephen Jackson was not moved at all, James jumped straight and shot a three-pointer.

Stephen Jackson quickly followed up and interfered with James' shot, but the interference was there, but it didn't. The ball still went in. 82:80。

At this point, the difference between the two teams becomes a goal. This distance is no longer much of an advantage for the Knicks.

The game has really come to the time to see it.
