Chapter 599
After Thorton hit a three-pointer, Daniel Gibson was clearly unconvinced, and Daniel Gibson wanted to hit another three-pointer, but he didn't have that opportunity.
Because of this ball, after Mo Williams dribbled the ball through the half, he was removed by James and passed back to James outside the three-point line, and after James received the ball, he also shot a three-pointer.
There is a saying that is good, who doesn't eat dumplings during the New Year. Although James' three-point shooting rate is not very high, it does not prevent others from scoring those two goals occasionally.
James hit a three-pointer and quickly stepped back. Glanced at the score. Then I was once again fully engaged in the defense of the game.
We gotta say. Superstars are also human beings, and there will be times when they are tired and there will be times when they are lazy, but they will become superstars if they can overcome these laziness when they shouldn't.
James knows very well that if he wants to win against the Knicks, then it is not as simple as saying that he can win in the last few balls, he must defend, and the Knicks who want to defend cannot break through their own defense.
The Knicks attacked again, Thorton had completely shot his hands, and Chen Jiyuan still liked Thorton's guy.
Although Thorton has irreparable weaknesses, he also has his own strengths, and many people refer to Thorton's template as Gordon.
Indeed, the two people are indeed very similar, of course, not in terms of appearance, but in the fact that both of them are all-weather accurate shooters on the outside.
And. When Gordon first entered the league, he also scored on the bench, and with his excellent performance on the bench, he became the league's first rookie Sixth Man of the Year.
As a substitute, Thibodeau did not give Thorton much playing time, mainly because of Thorton's Achilles injury on the defensive end, which made Thibodeau not like to let Thorton play for too long.
In fact, if it weren't for Sessions' injury, Thornton's playing time would have been even shorter.
Now the time to play 20 minutes per game can be said to be skyrocketing.
Generally, each game is played for more than ten hours.
However, even so, Thornton was still able to score 8.9 points per game. If Thorton is given more playing time, no one can say how many points Thorton will score. After all, Thorton's scoring ability is definitely nothing to say.
Because of the limitations of his body, Thorton can't get past the defender in one step, but he can rely on the rhythm of dribbling to shake out the opportunity to shoot, Thorton doesn't need to come to the basket to attack, on the outside, Thorton has a shooting touch that is difficult for everyone to reach.
In this attack, Chen Jiyuan came to a high position and glanced at the shape on the field. Chen Jiyuan has seen Daniel Gibson defending him next to Thorton, but Chen Jiyuan knows that Thorton is more active on both the offensive and defensive ends because he is not recognized by the head coach in the Knicks. Thornton really doesn't want to be the next Gordon, Thorton prefers to be the next Ginobili. Not in terms of style of play, but about having a place on the bench and becoming the most important substitute player for a championship team.
Thorton wanted to surpass his younger brother, and he didn't want to be ridiculed as inferior to his younger brother.
His younger brother was in the Clippers last season. This invisibly stimulated Thorton's competitive spirit.
Thorton entered the NBA later than his brother, and his younger brother Al Thorton mixed so well in the NBA, Thorton was not happy, anyway, when facing the media, although Thorton would look very happy for Al Thorton, but in fact, although the relationship between the two brothers was good, it was just good. Not only is there no deep friendship, but there are also some fights, after all, both of them are NBA professional athletes, and they will be compared by others more or less.
Thorton didn't want to be the one to be ridiculed.
So Thorton has to work hard, and the Knicks' record can be said to be Thorton's only pride, and the only thing Thorton can use to win his brother.
Both experts and the management of various teams are more optimistic about Al Thorton, both now and in the future. In terms of potential, it is even more infinitely disdainful.
So, Thorton has to win, has to get a foothold with the Knicks, and in time as a bench player. Timely is known as the dispensable existence of the Nix. Thornton also wants to prove to everyone that he is standing up in this championship-capable Knicks. Unlike his younger brother, who can only brush up on the weak team, he is the one who can help the team become the champion. It's fatally different.
After Chen Jiyuan received the ball, he saw Thorton's start, and then, with his left hand, he held the ball in his arms and went to the free throw line, beckoning to Iguodala over there, signaling Iguodala to come over and answer.
Chen Jiyuan's right hand kept waving.
And Iguodala also ran decisively towards this. Iguodala also thought that Chen Jiyuan was going to give this ball to himself, let himself rush into the inside, and then Chen Jiyuan helped him block the defending James.
And James was also the first to keep up with Iguodala, who was launched. It is necessary to stop the cooperation between Iguodala and Chen Jiyuan.
However, just when Iguodala just ran to the free throw line, Chen Jiyuan threw the ball directly with his left hand to Thorton, who rushed into the interior from outside the left three-point line.
It turned out that when Chen Jiyuan held the ball in his arms, he had already controlled the ball with the big palm of his left hand. After grabbing the ball with one hand, he kept beckoning Iguodala to come over with his right hand.
And when everyone's attention was on Iguodala and in the direction of the free throw line, the left hand was suddenly activated and threw the ball to Thorton on the left side of the line.
Thorton really did not disappoint Chen Jiyuan, and after receiving the ball, he took three steps directly. Facing O'Neal who came up to help defend, Thorton was also fearless, and stood up.
In the air, O'Neal knocked Thorton away without any accident, O'Neal went to the bottom line from the middle, and with O'Neal's inertia, of course, he knocked Thorton off the pitch without accident.
However, Thorton was very clever in throwing the ball out of the field before he was knocked off the court.
Originally, this was just an instinctive action, because this is a very simple truth, if you don't shoot and fly with the ball, then the ball will never go in, but if you throw it blindly, at least there is a glimmer of hope to score, and it will be 2+1.
The 1 in 10,000 chance is at least a 0 percent chance.
With this mentality, Thorton's ball was shot. Thorton was no longer in the air at all.
Of course, the shot is also thrown blindly.
But it's this blind ball that is really flying in the air. Swimming.
After the ball flew over the rebound, he began to dance on the rebound, bouncing and jumping, but it jumped into the basket to everyone's surprise.
Thorton didn't get up after he fell to the ground in a daze, looking at the ball.
And everyone else watched, waiting until the ball was in the Nets.
Thorton didn't wait for anyone to come and help, and he swooped up and down.
Shouted frantically at the audience outside the arena.
"Ahh
Chen Jiyuan also rushed to Suoton's side for the first time and high-fived Suoton.
The fans on the sidelines also stood up and shouted excitedly.
Thorton won this 2+1 in front of O'Neal.
Free throws, Thorton also hit steadily. Score three points again.
Thornton has already scored nine points today. 51:43。 The Knicks still hold an eight-point lead.
After this small wave of climax, the two sides once again fell into a score underestimate.
However, in the midst of this underestimation, the Cavaliers slowly recovered the lost points.
James seemed to have enough spirits, ignored the Knicks' defense, and directly launched a skill rampage, and rushing to the Knicks' interior line was a rampage. It's just a matter of ignoring it.
And the results received were good.
James made seven of eight free throws. Got seven points.
During this time, the Knicks were the only ones to hit a fast-break layup to help the Knicks score 2 points.
The score on the field became 53:50.
The Cavaliers chased the score. The Knicks didn't have much to do. Thibodeau decisively asked for a timeout, and had to change his strategy against James.
Because of James's bumping around during this time, Chen Jiyuan was saddled with 2 fouls and became 3 fouls. And Ty Gibson also had 2 fouls on his back during this period of time because of James, turning it into 4 fouls. At this time, Ibaka needs to be replaced.
Almost all of this wave of damage was eaten by Ty Gibson.
Every time James rushed inside and Iguodala was passed, it was Chen Jiyuan or Ty Gibson who fouled him.
However, Chen Jiyuan and Tai Gibson only need to say weakly, "My lord, the grass people are wronged." The grass people are good people. ”
A lot of actions, Chen Jiyuan and Ty Gibson really didn't do anything, but, on the one hand, because star whistles are common, especially on a superstar like James who is popular in the league. This kind of whistle can always be received by Chen Jiyuan.
Although Chen Jiyuan doesn't like such a whistle, every time he hears it, he goes to the free throw line with peace of mind, after all, this is the status quo of the league.
However, when Chen Jiyuan became the party that was blown, he was also full of trouble.
In the eighth minute of the third quarter, Thibodeau called a timeout. The Knicks had to figure it out.
