Chapter 463: Scoring Dominates the Game (1)
The fourth game between the Heat and the Knicks was really uninteresting. Everyone has no fighting spirit.
The Knicks are here to train new players and let others except Chen Jiyuan make more shots, and the reason for this is that Thibodeau told Chen Jiyuan before the game started.
On the Heat side, they didn't have much fighting spirit at the beginning of the game, and they seemed to be frightened by the 3-0 score. After all, it's something no one can do. It's a bit too hard to come back from 0-3 down.
However, although everyone else has lost their fighting spirit, Wade has no intention of giving up at all, but it is estimated that Wade actually wants to save the last bit of face and not be swept away, so Wade will play with his life.
In Wade's belt, the whole Heat team finally began to wake up and began to play more focused games, while the Knicks have been in a state of half-practice and half-game.
Wade has always been holding the mentality of winning, so that his teammates can gradually ignite their fighting spirit, it can be said that in this matter, Wade is still a successful leader.
Finally, in the fourth quarter of the game, the Knicks also played very well, and they always controlled the point difference within a good range, at least not so that the Knicks completely lost hope of winning.
So when the game came to the last minute, there was no winner yet, knowing that in the last minute, the Knicks were seven points behind, and then the last effort was unsuccessful, and the Heat won the game. To be honest, it's really a boring enough game.
However, at least the Heat chased the score to 1-3. The next game will continue in Miami.
For this fifth game, the Knicks still attach more importance to it, because they can't continue to be in the same state as the last game, otherwise, it will be detrimental to the team's next playoff journey.
So, the Knicks are also very serious. And after the Heat won a victory, the desire to fight also became stronger. So this fifth game is a bit of a bit of an eye-catcher.
In the fifth game, there were no changes to the starters for both sides. The Knicks aren't going to change their lineup at this time, and Thibodeau isn't the kind of super-bold head coach that's the way to go.
The starters on the Knicks' side are Chen Jiyuan, Starkey, Sessions, Stephen Jackson, and Love.
For the Heat, O'Neal Jr., Udonis Haslem, Wade, James Jones, and Chalmers are the Heat.
Even though it's just an inconsequential game, a win is a win, and a win will make the players want to fight stronger, and it will make the players more eager to win.
In this game, the Heat played very aggressively at the beginning.
Wade came up and rushed inside, but Chen Jiyuan's deterrence on the defensive end is really no longer as bad as in the previous two seasons.
After Wade rushed to the basket, Chen Jiyuan was able to affect Wade every time, although he may not be able to block Wade's shooting, but it can also have a considerable impact on Wade's shooting percentage.
Wade's first quarter and Chen Jiyuan are also considered to be on the bar. Wade is also really indomitable on the inside. However, Chen Jiyuan's attack was also ruthless.
In the first quarter of the game, Chen Jiyuan faced O'Neal Jr. or Udonis Haslem, no matter who defended him, his desire to attack was very strong.
On the first ball, Chen Jiyuan made a jump shot directly in front of O'Neal Jr., and now O'Neal's body is gradually declining, and it is difficult to recover to the peak state.
Chen Jiyuan was in front of O'Neal Jr., just a simple probe, and then retracted, jumper, in one go, without dragging the mud at all, and directly hit the basketball.
Little O'Neill really can't do anything.
And that's just the beginning.
Wade hit a three-pointer and the score was 12-10.
The Knicks have a two-point lead for the time being.
Chen Jiyuan received a pass from Sessions for this ball, and decisively started his own killing path.
Chen Jiyuan in front of O'Neal Jr., a direct jump shot without discipline, O'Neal Jr. feels that his defense is really in place, and in fact, O'Neal's defense is also good, although because of physical reasons, can not interfere with Chen Jiyuan to the maximum, but Chen Jiyuan is ignoring your defense, just make you feel helpless, is to make you feel that your defense is not in place. This goal, it just goes in.
You really can't do anything about it. can only watch Chen Jiyuan score, and at the same time pray in his heart that Chen Jiyuan will never score the next goal. 14:10。
James Jones received Wade's pass and wanted a three-point shot from the outside, but Stephen Jackson's defense was very far in place, so that James Jones had no good chance to shoot, so he could only give the ball to Udonis Haslem on the inside, Udonis Haslem did not hesitate too much after receiving the ball, and directly made a mid-range shot, Udonis Haslem has this ability.
Udonis Haslem is a mid-range finisher. This goal, Udonis Haslem hit. 14:12。
On the Knicks' side, Chen Jiyuan once again held the ball alone on the outside, and when a big player held the ball on the outside, it was a rather difficult choice whether to go to the bag or not.
Chen Jiyuan's ball singles Little O'Neal, a simple virtual shake, the center of Little O'Neal is slightly up, Chen Jiyuan quickly started the speed and prepared to go inside, Little O'Neal quickly adjusted his center of gravity, wanting to keep up with Chen Jiyuan's pace, but Chen Jiyuan didn't plan to rush into the inside line for a layup or anything like that at the beginning, but walked to the left side, and then took a direct step back, because Little O'Neal itself was already behind Chen Jiyuan a defensive body, and there was no defensive position at all, So this ball Chen Jiyuan directly took a step back and threw away little O'Neal, after Chen Jiyuan stepped back, he directly jumped and shot, and the ball hit steadily. With such a difficult jump shot, Chen Jiyuan was able to maintain a fairly high shooting rate, thanks to Chen Jiyuan's unremitting shooting practice every day. 16:12。
Heat's offense, Wade shot from the outside again, but the three-point shot missed, after the Knicks grabbed the rebound, Lefu quickly launched a fast attack, Lefu gave the ball to Sessions, Sessions quickly ran with the ball, and during the run, Sessions passed the ball to Starkey, Starkey burst into the interior from the right side and made a layup, but under the interference of Udonis Haslem, the ball was not scored after a lap on the basket, and the rebound was grabbed by Wade who followed up, Wade, who grabbed the rebound, also began to quickly think about the Knicks' side to launch a fast attack, after halftime, Wade stood outside the three-point line, and after waiting for a small down, suddenly a pass was given to the hands of O'Neal Jr., who cut into the inside line, O'Neal Jr. cut down and wanted to hit two points directly for a layup, but how could Chen Jiyuan let O'Neal Jr. succeed so easily. Chen Jiyuan made up for O'Neal Jr. under the basket, O'Neal Jr. dodged in the air, trying to avoid Chen Jiyuan's block, but because of this, the basketball did not enter the basket.
Chen Jiyuan grabbed the rebound, took a few steps, and then passed the ball to Starkey, who turned on all his speed and rushed to the Heat's three-point line, but there was no good chance for this ball, but Starkey still rushed into the interior with the ball himself, wanting to cause a foul, because the fast break just now did not score, so the ball will be a little anxious.
After Starkey's ball rushed to the inside line, Udonis Haslem and James Jones, Wade were all on the inside, Starkey ran to the inside line with James Jones, and then in the case of physical confrontation, he jumped up directly to shoot the ball, but because of the physical confrontation, this jump was naturally not very high, and the result was that the ball just left his hand and was directly blocked by Wade. Wade himself is a master of blocking in the position of scoring guard, and many big players have also tasted the taste of being blocked by Wade.
The ball was picked up by Sessions who arrived later, after Sessions picked up the ball, he did not rush to attack directly, but first took the ball out of the three-point line, ready to slowly reorganize the offense, Sessions waited until Chen Jiyuan came over, signaled Chen Jiyuan and himself to block and dismantle, Chen Jiyuan stepped forward to cover Sessions, Sessions took advantage of Chen Era's cover, successfully got rid of Chalmers's defense, Sessions strode to the inside, however, O'Neal Jr. made up for Sessions, and Chalmers was also chasing Sessions, but, Sessions jumped up with the ball, passed it directly, and gave it to Chen Jiyuan, Chen Jiyuan stood near the free throw line and shot the ball directly, O'Neal Jr. wanted to make up for Chen Jiyuan from the inside line, it was too late, Chen Jiyuan shot easily, and the ball hit steadily. The previous goal made Chen Jiyuan's hand feel hot. With such a Chen Jiyuan, sincerity will become very difficult to suppress.
As a result, Chen Jiyuan scored 15 points in the first quarter of the game, and the Knicks also led the Heat by 8 points at 32:24.
