Chapter 494: In the midst of a counterattack

Sessions' three-pointer instantly gave Brown a headache, and whether he should have another timeout was the only thought in Brown's mind now. After all, if the Knicks successfully counterattack, then the team's advantage will become single digits, and the single-digit and double-digit points difference will make the players feel a lot different.

However, Brown still didn't have to take a timeout in the end, it was just a mistake on his side, and whether the Cavaliers could score the next ball was the more critical point.

It should be said that such a three-point shot is relatively rare, especially in Sessions, a player with a more reasonable style of play, and rarely has nonsensical or unreasonable shot choices.

This can be said to be the opposite of Josh Smith.

However, in fact, anyone who plays in the New York Knicks must restrain their temper a little, no matter who it is, even Chen Jiyuan, he treats Thibodeau with respect here. Thibodeau, as a working maniac, in his eyes. Work is a qiē, so for Thibodeau, how to improve the team's record is a qiē.

After Thibodeau came to the Knicks, Chen Jiyuan had a very in-depth communication with Thibodeau, because the goals and objectives of the two people were very consistent. Quite simply, it is to lead the New York Knicks to a championship. Thibodeau is about proving that he is fully qualified as a manager and that he is a very good manager. What should I do if I want to prove this? The obvious answer is to lead the New York Knicks to become the strongest team in the league and win the championship, then everyone will recognize Thibodeau's strength.

After Thibodeau first came, Chen Jiyuan said to Thibodeau, the management of the team is in Thibodeau, let Thibodeau not worry, anyone in the team, Thibodeau can do whatever you want? As long as you can improve your record, as long as you can help the team to become stronger, then the management will definitely support you.

So when it comes to appointing players, Thibodeau has always been very bold, most of the Knicks' players are rookies, and the host is basically players who have played in the league for less than 3 years, and they have not yet reached the point of old fritters. Therefore, the arrangement for Thibodeau is still relatively well implemented. Especially the improvement of the Knicks' record in the past two years will make a lot of things logical.

Thibodeau's harshness towards the players made the players slightly afraid of Thibodeau, however, as time went on, some players began to gradually adapt to the rhythm of the NBA, not only the rhythm on the court, but also the rhythm of life, such as Starkey, who has now shown his strength and has begun to show his temper. Starkey, who regards himself as the second star of the Knicks, and Starkey, who also wants to become the boss of the New York Knicks, not only asks for a contract extension with a maximum salary, but also asks the team to improve their status in the team.

This will affect the team's chemistry in a certain way, Starkey now has a very bad relationship with Sessions and Crawford, and the main conflict with Crawford is the conflict in playing time, and now Thibodeau gradually has a tendency to increase Crawford's playing time, which is unbearable for Starkey, because Crawford's playing time increases, which relatively means that Starkey's playing time decreases. So it's no wonder that Starkey and Crawford have a good relationship.

As for the relationship between Starkey and Sessions, it was because Sessions was in the hands during that time, but after Strawy became the starting point guard, the effect was not good, so Thibodeau began to cut off the idea of Starkey becoming the team's starting point guard.

In a sense, this is a denial of Starkey's strength, saying that Starkey's strength is not as good as Sessions, so this is also something that Starkey cannot tolerate. So what Starkey wants to prove is that he is stronger than Sessions. This is actually a bit extreme, because Thibodeau means that Starkey is really unqualified as a point guard. After all, although Starkey's scoring ability has increased greatly compared to his previous life, he has not made great progress in passing awareness and passing vision, and in terms of organizing attacks, Starkey is also not good. That's why Starkey can't be a point guard.

However, Starkey himself thinks that as long as he works out for a while, he can definitely become a qualified point guard. It's just that Thibodeau won't give it a chance.

The Cavaliers' offense, James forced a foul, causing Stephen Jackson to foul and hit both free throws to keep the margin at double digits. 79:91。

James's two points can be regarded as a temporary stabilisation of the army's heart, which dispelled Brown's mind of calling a timeout, which was not like a timeout.

However, although the ball actually went in, but when he came back to his senses, he didn't prevent the Knicks' offense, this ball, after Chen Jiyuan received the ball, the actual bag came up, Chen Jiyuan waited until the bag was completely formed, and then passed the ball to Sessions on the outside, after Sessions received the ball, he directly shot a three-point shot, and the ball hit steadily. 82:91。 The score difference has become single digits.

In fact, the color of the clothes was quickly changed here, and Gibson's three-point shot from the outside also scored.

The Knicks passed the ball to Chen Jiyuan again, after Chen Jiyuan received the ball, James quickly stepped forward to wrap up, James's athleticism is very good, and James stepped forward to wrap Chen Jiyuan, and he could put pressure on Chen Jiyuan successfully, otherwise, if Mo Williams or Gibson stepped forward, Chen Jiyuan would ignore these two buddies if he really came to the touch.

So after thinking about it, James still had to defend, this ball Chen Jiyuan received the ball in the bottom corner of the left side and singled, but James stepped forward to wrap it, Chen Jiyuan gave the ball to Stephen Jackson on the outside, as soon as Stephen Jackson received the ball, James quickly let go of Chen Jiyuan and ran to Stephen Jackson, but Stephen Jackson hoisted the ball to Chen Jiyuan again. As soon as Chen Jiyuan received the ball, James came again, Chen Jiyuan arched twice this time, and then James quickly reached out to break the ball, but Chen Jiyuan was also paying attention to James's movements early in the morning, and Chen Jiyuan didn't plan to shoot the ball himself.

Chen Jiyuan put the ball away with both hands, and then passed it to Stephen Jackson on the outside, Stephen Jackson adjusted a small shot, and then shot a three-point shot. After James reached out and broke the ball, the center of gravity could not be adjusted so quickly, and then ran to the outside, and as a result, Stephen Jackson's three-point shot hit steadily. 85:91。

The shape of the field has completely changed. Brown had to ask for another timeout. When the team has no way to limit one of the opponent's offensive anchors. Most people think of a bag, but when this person has a good pass, most people think of shrinking the defense and making a joint defense. A lot of teams like to league the Knicks because the Knicks lack an accurate three-point shooter from the outside.

However, as Sessions grew, many teams abandoned the Knicks' joint defense and switched to man-to-man defense. Originally, when defending the Knicks, everyone was still willing to defend 2-1-2, but since the proportion of Sessions' outside shots has become larger and larger, and Sessions' outside shooting percentage has become higher and higher, more teams have chosen to abandon this defensive method.

Now, Brown has decided to go on a joint defense. This decision to join forces is actually a bit late. Even though Sessions' three-point shooting has become more and more accurate, in the case of the Knicks now in a hurry to chase points, joint defense is still a very good choice, especially the Knicks' interior threat can be said to be one of the biggest teams in the league. Chen Jiyuan can shoot and penetrate on the inside, and he is really not good at defense.

During this pause, Barkley howled, "See, Kenny, this guy Chen is really going to turn the tables." ”

Kenny Smith thought to himself, I'm not blind, of course I do. However, Kenny Smith was naturally extremely surprised by this fourth quarter game, showing his incomparable dominance of the game in minutes, it can be said that Chen Jiyuan really directed this shocking reversal.

Chen Jiyuan hit all three shots in a row, then blocked to cause a counterattack, and then assisted. A series of performances made Chen Jiyuan a well-deserved star in this fourth quarter of the game.

However, even so, the Knicks still have a 6-point gap with the Cavaliers.

Now there is only half a quarter left in the fourth quarter. If the Cavaliers are steady, then the Knicks are still in a disadvantageous situation for the time being.

But the Knicks' super momentum can still boost the morale of the Knicks' whole team.

After the Cavaliers' timeout ended, the players on both sides returned to the court, the Cavaliers' offense was directly completed this time, James used the blocking, the Knicks changed the defense, Chen Jiyuan defended James, Chen Jiyuan did not implement the policy of preventing breakouts and not shooting when ordinary people defended James, Chen Jiyuan is confident in his steps, and the advantage of height makes Chen Jiyuan sure that he can interfere with James's layup.

James accelerated, and in the process of running forward, James held the ball with his left hand and pulled Chen Jiyuan with his right hand, but this did not affect Chen Jiyuan's pursuit. Chen Jiyuan clinged to James tightly, and James didn't have a big chance of this ball, but in the rapid running, James gave the ball to the high Zajunas Ilgoskas, who received the ball and directly shot a large two-point shot. Stephen Jackson also wanted to interfere with Zajunas Ilgoskas's shot, but it obviously didn't work out well. Zajunas Ilgoskas is indeed a difficult point for many teams. Because Zajunas Ilgoskas is quite accurate in the middle distance. Therefore, if the defenders of Zajunas Ilgoskas are too short, they can be easily bullied. Stephen Jackson was already good, and the ball was a nuisance. It's just that the ball doesn't go in if it's interfered with. Many of the stars have good anti-interference ability. 85:93。
