Chapter 398: Let the Game Speak

After returning to the bench, Chen Jiyuan held up Thibodeau to arrange tactics, Thibodeau still stared at the Suns' outside line and did not relax, and resolutely told Tony Allen, Stephen Jackson and Sessions that they should prevent the Suns' outside players from killing and never give the Suns' outside players a chance. Can't let them shoot three-pointers, now the Suns players have three players with excellent three-point ability, Grant Hill although the three-point ability is weak, but if the interior is too empty, then it is easy to be Grant Hill burst inside. It's also a hassle to get killed by Grant Hill on the inside. Although now Chen Jiyuan has only four fouls. But Lefu has already committed five fouls. Moreover, although Grant Hill's free throws are not super masters with a shooting rate of more than 90%, he is also an absolute qualified player with a shooting rate of 88%. So, getting fouled by Grant Hill isn't a good thing. In short, defending on the perimeter is definitely a top priority for a tactic unknown to Thibodeau.

The game is back on. Now the Suns don't have a timeout, and the Knicks still have two timeouts. The Suns can't afford to make a tactical change until the game is over. It can only be a road to the dark. At this point, the Knicks still have a slight advantage. However, when the Knicks are on the timeout, the Suns will also get a timeout. Therefore, Thibodeau may not have to pause again until the critical moment.

Suns serve. Nash quickly dribbled the ball across the halfcourt, and the ball, the Suns, handed over to O'Neal on the inside line, O'Neal did not get to the position in the depths this time, but was pushed to the free throw line by Chen Jiyuan. O'Neal was completely unthreatening when he received the ball in this place. It's mainly O'Neal who is called a center who can't really shoot at all, and he can't be thorough. Therefore, Chen Jiyuan completely let go of O'Neill's big step, which is a complete emptying. There's no need to worry at all that O'Neill will make a move here. Well, to be precise, Chen Jiyuan is wishing that O'Neill would make a move here.

O'Neill didn't vote, and he didn't dare to vote at all. At such a critical moment, how dare he play around.

O'Neal wore the ball through Jason Richardson, who came over to catch the ball. After Jason Richardson got the ball from O'Neal, he was closely defended by Tony Allen, not giving a chance at all, and Tony Allen did a very good job of defending the players with the ball.

In the future, the Grizzlies were able to force the Thunder to the seven-tiebreaker, relying on Tony Allen's defense of Kevin Durant, and in that playoffs, Tony Allen's defense of Kevin Durant can be said to be extremely successful. Kevin Durant, who couldn't be opened at all, was even called Mr. Unreliable by the Oklahoma newspapers. This is simply a great irony, what kind of behavior is it that your own star is being kept sarcastic by the sport of his team and becoming unreliable? Oklahoma is going against the rhythm. For their actions is simply death. Once Kevin Durant's contract expires, if Kevin Durant is to leave, there are teams across the league that want Kevin Durant. You're not the only one who knows that Kevin Durant is a baby. It's no exaggeration to say that if Kevin Durant asks for a trade, 29 of the 30 teams in the entire league will send a request for trade to the Oklahoma City Thunder. For Oklahoma's bold behavior, I just want to say: little brother admires.

This ball, Jason Richardson was very troubled by Tony Allen after receiving the ball, there was no good chance to shoot, not to mention, this Tony Allen was still looking at the ball in his hand, obviously to be ready to break the rhythm of the ball at any time.

Jason Richardson didn't have a good chance to shoot, and Grant Hill of the bottom line was running back and forth, trying to find a good chance to shoot, but Kevin Love also played with his life's defense, and didn't give Grant Hill a chance at all, but Love didn't go out, mainly because Grant Hill's outside line was very untrustworthy, Chen Jiyuan had reason to believe that Grant Hill would rush into the inside, so when Lefu defended Grant Hill, he just wanted to block Grant Hill's layup and mid-range, There is only a little bit of time left for the game, and there is no need for Lefu to save the body. Because the Suns' lineup is a lineup of four small ones. So after Chen Jiyuan came on the court, he arranged for Love to defend Grant Hill, because Grant Hill's outside three-point shot was the most inaccurate. Therefore, send the slower Lefu to defend, so as to avoid the Knicks' defensive holes on the greater distance. Defending Barbossa is Stephen Jackson, who is also a master of defense, and almost never has a chance to receive the ball when he defends Barbossa. Defensively, Tony Allen and Stephen Jackson are diamonds, if not kings. It's not something that ordinary people can provoke.

The Suns didn't have any good offensive opportunities, and Jason Richardson could only give the ball to Grant Hill outside the three-point line, and Grant Hill didn't dare to shoot his unreliable three-pointers at this critical moment. Therefore, Grant Hill still chose to break through, Grant Hill is the former Jordan successor after all, Lefou's footstep speed, Grant Hill wants to break through He is still very simple, Lefou's footpace speed can't keep up with Grant Hill, but Lefu has been on the inside line and has not left the three-second zone. If Grant Hill shoots from outside the three-second zone, then Love will only be able to interfere as much as he can, and it is estimated that the effect will not be very good. However, at least it is better than Lefu to go out and then be passed by Grant Hill.

After Grant Hill's ball burst in, facing Lefou, Grant Hill changed direction to the left and began to slip the bottom line, Lefu also quickly adjusted his center of gravity to keep up with Grant Hill's footsteps, but although Grant Hill is no longer the super invincible Jordan successor back then, he is still a forward player after all, and now Lefu has a bear-like body, and, not very fast, Lefu did not move fast enough when he first entered the league. It wasn't until later that I lost weight little by little while maintaining my strength. Movement speed has increased.

After Grant Hill slipped the ball, he held the ball in his right hand, dodged Love's block in the air, came to the right side of the basket, and turned his right hand to make a layup. After a close contact between the ball and the rebound, it obediently rolled into the basket. Grant Hill managed to score two points at the most crucial moment. 113:110。 There are 57 seconds left.

The Knicks attacked, this time Sessions slowly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Nash interfered on the side, but Sessions was still very stable with the ball, which can be seen that Sessions' basic skills are very passable.

After halftime, the Knicks did not rush to attack, now they must ensure the shooting rate, and if this ball can consume enough time, then the next time will only be enough for each side to attack, and if this happens, then, the Knicks, who have two timeouts, will stand at the point where they can attack and retreat. Very advantageous.

Sessions looked at the time with 14 seconds left on the offensive clock and began to make moves. Tony Allen is a diamond-caliber player on the defensive end, and a bronze player on the offensive end. So don't expect anything from Tony Allen because that's a small hope. Comparatively speaking, Stephen Jackson's offense was a little better. Anyway, he is also a player who averages more than 20 points per game. Once an all-star jewel. Stephen Jackson's quality is definitely there.

Therefore, Stephen Jackson's offense is relatively trustworthy, and Stephen Jackson is the kind of person who dares to shoot at any time and under any circumstances. So, even though the current situation is a matter of winning the game, Stephen Jackson will not hesitate to make a shot. It will not become a little muddy because of psychological pressure.

However, Lefou's words are not easy to say, although Lefou's offensive ability is also good, there is a middle distance, although the offensive means under the basket are less, but it is not the object that can be empty, but at this critical moment, Lefou's psychological element zhì has become the key to whether he can score, if Lefu hesitates because of this critical moment, then scoring has become a luxury.

Sessions dribbled to start, Chen Jiyuan quickly stepped forward to block and dismantle Sessions, Chen Jiyuan blocked and dismantled like this, O'Neal did not step forward to delay Sessions, O'Neal knew too well that he was inferior in speed, if he delayed Sessions first, if Chen Jiyuan started first, then O'Neal's chance of catching up with Chen Jiyuan was less than or equal to zero. It's not that O'Neill doesn't want to delay Sessions, but he can't delay it.

The quality of Chen Jiyuan's blocking and dismantling is still very good, which leads to Nash's bypassing Chen Jiyuan, and Sessions has already taken a big step into the inside. O'Neal and Chen Jiyuan were entangled near the free throw line, and there was no way to quickly go back to make up for the defense, and in front of Sessions was the inside line of the Suns with the hole wide open.

As soon as Sessions saw such a good opportunity, of course he wouldn't miss it, and rushed directly to the basket non-stop, at this time, there was no one on the Suns' side to make up for the defense, not because they didn't want to, but because they were too far away, they couldn't come back at all. Sessions is very easy and enjoyable on this ball. It's so easy to get two points at this crucial moment, which is really good luck. Of course, in fact, this can only be said to be a matter of strength, and the most critical problem is the rest of Amare Stoudemire, which gives the Knicks an opportunity. You must know that the work of supplementing the defense has always been done by Amare Stoudemire, and before that, Chen Jiyuan caused a foul by Amare Stoudemire, and it was also the sixth foul, which completely made the Suns' interior defense very weak. O'Neal's movement speed was already slow, and O'Neal didn't dare to leave Chen Jiyuan even a step, Chen Jiyuan's play in the fourth quarter of the game tonight was too brave. The Suns don't dare to give Chen Jiyuan the slightest chance to make a move now. The desperate stare at Chen Jiyuan is O'Neill's only goal.

Sessions made an easy right-handed layup, and by the time Grant Hill arrived to interfere, Sessions had already made a shot. The ball obediently rolled into the basket. 115:110。

This layup made the Knicks basically certain the victory of the entire game. As long as the Knicks don't make a mistake next. Then victory is already something predictable.

On the Suns' side, it's actually best to have a timeout at this time, but unfortunately, the Suns don't have a timeout. I can only serve obediently and continue to play. As long as Thibodeau's brain doesn't twitch, he will definitely not ask for a timeout at this time. Unless Thibodeau and Suns head coach Porter is working on the base.

There are 32 seconds left in the game. After the Suns served, Nash quickly played forward, and after halftime, this time, Nash did not stall for time, and after halftime, he went it alone with Sessions. Grant Hill was still running back and forth from the baseline, Barbosa was bobbing back and forth in the right half as if he was asking for the ball, and Jason Richardson was ambushed in the bottom corner on the right, ready to make a lethal three-pointer. Nash went it alone, facing Sessions' tight defense, Nash walked slowly forward with a big step outside the three-point line, and Sessions immediately mobilized all the nerves in his body, watching Nash's movements, Nash walked forward, and suddenly, he shot a three-point shot one meter away from the three-point line. Sessions rushed forward to prepare for the defense and interfered with Nash's shot. However, Nash still made a shot with this shot. Moreover, although the ball was a little off, it still knocked the left frame of the basket and fell into the eyes of the Nets. Got three points. 115:113。

This three-point shot is so scored, although the Knicks still have an advantage, but there is a little bit of danger. There are 26 seconds left. If the Knicks delay for 24 seconds, then the Suns will only have the last 2 seconds left, but more importantly, the Suns have no timeout, and it is a bit difficult to play the ball in the backcourt for two seconds. In this situation, if you want to score goals, you have to rely on Meng. Therefore, the Suns have no choice but to make the choice to foul tactics.

After Sessions received the ball, he was fouled by the Suns.

Sessions' free throws were relatively solid, but maybe it was because of the pressure. Sessions hit one of two free throws. The first penalty is missed. But fortunately, it wasn't all two free throws. Otherwise, it's embarrassing. 116:113。

At this point, the Suns need a three-pointer. There are 22 seconds left in the game.

I just don't know how the Suns will choose to shoot this three-pointer without a head coach.

Nash dribbled the ball through the half, this time it was the Suns' turn not to be in a hurry, the Suns had to find a good opportunity to shoot again, Nash slowly protected the ball on the outside, not giving Sessions a chance to steal, Nash slowly observed the shape of the game. Suddenly, the pass was made to the right side of the three-point line at a 45-degree angle, and Jason Richardson received the ball, broke through to the right, and then stepped back directly to the outside of the three-point line and shot a three-pointer. The ball is out of Jason Richardson's hand. Slowly flew towards the basket. A little bit, with the hearts of the fans around the world. Flew to the basket.

Finally, the basketball flew to the basket, and with a "clang", the basketball hit the front of the basket and jumped out.

Chen Jiyuan's eyes turned red instantly. It collapsed with a smack. His right hand reached for the basketball, but next to Chen Jiyuan, O'Neill also jumped up, to reach the basketball, Chen Jiyuan's hand touched the ball first, and Chen Jiyuan quickly hooked the ball down. hugged it into his arms, and then threw the ball directly to Ramon Sessions on the side, but O'Neal fouled Chen Jiyuan directly after landing. The referee ruled that the foul was valid. It can be regarded as a foul on Chen Jiyuan's body. So it was Chen Jiyuan who walked to the free throw line.

Chen Jiyuan came to the free throw line, and if he could make two free throws, even if it was only one, then the Knicks would be able to win the game steadily. However, if two free throws are missed, then the Suns will be given one last chance.

Chen Jiyuan stood at the free throw line, took a deep breath, and then exhaled. Do your best to adjust your own mentality.

After receiving the referee's ball, Chen Jiyuan slapped it twice, breathed gently, slowly raised his hands, kept the direction with his left hand, and exerted his right wrist to make a shot.

The sound of "smack" means that the ball has entered the basket. The first free throw was hit.

After the first penalty was hit, Chen Jiyuan's heart was a lot easier, and in the second penalty, Chen Jiyuan followed the previous feeling, shot again, and the ball went in again. Hit both free throws. 118:113。

There are 8 seconds left in the game. After the Suns served, it quickly passed the half, and after Nash's half, he quickly shot a three-pointer, but because the intention was obvious, the ball was interfered with by Sessions very strictly, and the ball was deflected again. The Suns don't stand a chance.

The Knicks managed to win the game.

Compared with the victory of this game, fans care more about Chen Jiyuan's number.

In the fourth quarter, he scored 30 points on 100 percent shooting from the field. It's simply a rhythm against the sky, if it weren't for Chen Jiyuan's play in the fourth quarter, he might not be able to stop the Suns' three-point rain offensive in the fourth quarter.

As everyone expected, after the game, the audience burst into cheers. The fans couldn't hide the joy in their hearts.

Because, in this game, Chen Jiyuan once again scored 48 points. This is already the first time that Chen Jiyuan has scored 40+ points after his comeback. The fans are too lazy to care.

However, it is still a pity that if Chen Jiyuan scores two points in this game, then Chen Jiyuan will be able to score 50 points in this game. Then Chen Jiyuan has scored 50+ in three consecutive games. It's a pity.
