Chapter 485: It's the fourth quarter again
The main players of both sides restarted the game on the field.
The Cavaliers attacked, Mo 61 Williams dribbled the ball through the half, and passed the ball to James, compared to Mo 61 Williams, James' organizational ability is more trustworthy. What's more, James himself is unshakable in the team's low post. James likes this, so naturally it will all be passed on to James.
James dribbles the ball at the top of the arc. Ready to launch an offense, the Knicks don't want to wrap up James, and this ball is Stephen 61 Jackson defending James alone. Then Zajunas 61 Ilgoskas stepped forward to block and dismantle James, James quickly got into the inside by covering, but this ball, Chen Jiyuan blocked in front of James, and the Knicks quickly made a change of defense, and after James walked some inside, James jumped up again, a strong direct pass, and gave the ball to the bottom corner of the right side, and after Mo 61 Williams in the bottom corner of the right side received the ball, it looked like he was going to jump out of the three-point shot, but when Sessions ran over to defend Mo 61 Williams, Mo 61 Williams started dribbling again and walked past Sessions' right side, while Sessions quickly shifted his center of gravity, but he had lost his defensive position.
Mo 61 Williams walked into the inside line, but Chen Jiyuan did not go out after following James into the inside line, and when Mo 61 Williams came in, Chen Jiyuan quickly stepped forward to make up for the defense, the result was that Mo 61 Williams had no chance to shoot at all, but passing is not Mo 61 Williams's character, this ball, Mo 61 Williams took a step back to the free throw line, wanted to avoid Chen Jiyuan's block, and then jumped directly, but Mo 61 Williams obviously overestimated his retreat step, also underestimated Chen Jiyuan's speed and bounce.
Mo 61 Williams' ball just shot, Chen Jiyuan quickly tilted forward and jumped, when the ball shot by Mo 61 Williams was still flying, Chen Jiyuan stretched out a big hand, and directly flew the ball from Mo 61 Williams's hand.
Mo 61 Williams watched the ball fly past him blankly, and after Mo 61 Williams reacted, he found that the Knicks had begun to break fast, Chen Jiyuan covered the ball, and ran forward quickly, and Mo 61 Williams also quickly turned back to defense.
However, when Chen Jiyuan and Mo 61 Williams only ran two steps, the offense on that side was already over, and Sessions ran all the way through the half court from the left side, and then directly inserted it from the left side, and then twisted the ball with his right hand and went directly to the basketball. Two points in hand. 28:25γ
The Cavaliers haven't scored in quite some time. Cavaliers head coach Brown is now hesitating whether to call a timeout.
However, James's save still made Brown decide to wait for a ball, and if the Cavaliers still can't attack, then they will have to take a timeout.
James holds the ball to attack, it is still James and Zajunas 61 Ilgoskas blocking and dismantling, this ball James took a few steps forward, and then passed the ball to Mo 61 Williams in the bottom corner of the right side or jumped up to pass, and the tactics of the previous ball are the same, but this time Mo 61 Williams did not have a good chance to shoot, so, Mo 61 Williams took a few steps with the ball, and then passed the ball to the high Zajunas 61 Ilgoskas, Zajunas 61 Ilgoskas received the ball, made a shot move. At this time, it was Sessions who let go of Zajunas 61 Ilgoskas, and Sessions had no way to interfere with Zajunas 61 Ilgoskas's shooting, and Zajunas 61 Ilgoskas saw this situation and shot directly. Sessions also jumped up to interfere with the ball, but Zajunas 61 Ilgoskas still hit the mid-range. 28:27γ
Brown sat back after seeing Zajunas' 61 Ilgoskas jumper. It looks like it's not going to be paused.
The Knicks were ready to attack, and after the ball Sessions dribbled through the half, he passed the ball to Starkey, who shook the left and cut right, and the speed passed Gibson who was defending, and Gibson was chasing Starkey, and the probability of defensive success was relatively low, because the two people were physically strong and Cheng DΓΉ was really not at the same level. Unless Gibson can see where the ball is going. Directly after Starkey's shot, he fanned the basketball, but this is not very likely, Starkey will not give Gibson this chance.
Gibson was behind him, and Anderson 61 Vallejo blocked in front of him, however, after Starkey jumped up, Anderson 61 Vallejo also jumped with Starkey, and Starkey handed the ball to Chen Jiyuan on the other side when he was in the air, Chen Jiyuan received Starkey's pass, and directly ignored Zajunas 61 Ilgoskas next to him, jumped up hard, and directly made a one-handed split. 30:27γ
In recent times, the Knicks have maintained a fairly high shooting percentage, and the team's offense is very smooth, while the Cavaliers are in a different situation.
When the second quarter ended, the Knicks regained the initiative on the court, although the Knicks only led by 4 points, but the Cavaliers' offense was more of a single shot, or more of Gibson's shooting.
James' hand doesn't seem to be very good today, while Gibson's hand is hot.
In the second quarter of the game, Gibson hit multiple jumpers again, and even hit layups after rushing inside.
It can be said that Gibson is completely open. At halftime, Gibson scored 24 points on 5-of-8 three-pointers, and although there were no assists and rebounds, it was not Gibson's job. Now Gibson is scoring so insanely. But there is no way for the other teammates of the Cavaliers not to give their way. The Knicks, on the other hand, are more blooming. Then he managed to keep the score in the lead.
At halftime, the score was 44:40.
The score of both sides was not very high, and both sides did a decent job on the defensive end today. The Knicks were also defended in the first quarter and scored 15 points.
In the third quarter of the game, the scores of the two sides have been stalemate, and no one can pull away the score, but the Knicks can still maintain the lead, at least the team has not entered a backward state, once the Cavaliers tie the score, the Knicks will be able to pull the difference to about 4 points or 5 points again. Then the knights relied on the spirit of incomparable perseverance to chase back the difference.
Just back and forth, the game entered the fourth quarter, but such a stalemate game is actually quite good to appreciate.
Chen Jiyuan was definitely not bad in the first three quarters of the game, and Chen Jiyuan completed his double-double contribution in the third quarter of the game, scoring 24 points and 10 rebounds.
On the other hand, James's table is naturally good, because today's trapping tactics of both sides are not resolute, or in other words, both sides have not wrapped the opponent's scoring main force.
James also scored 26 points in the third quarter. At the same time, James also has five rebounds and six assists, and it looks like the trend is clearly headed for a triple-double.
But in the fourth quarter, the game still made people worry about James's state. Because of the last game in the fourth quarter of the game, James's weakness made people feel helpless, and many people criticized James for being invisible at the critical moment, but on the other hand, Chen Jiyuan scored ten points in a row at the most critical moment in the end, helping the team to win the game in one fell swoop. Comparing the two, it instantly made people feel extremely dissatisfied with James's appearance. The fourth quarter was supposed to be the time for the team's leaders to step up, but James scored only two points and failed to save the team at the crucial moment of the final game. This really put James under a lot of pressure.
The Cavaliers scored 20 points in two third-quarter games, but they still fell behind, mainly because many people didn't open it.
Anderson scored 0 points on 0-of-4 shooting from 61 Vallejo. Zajunas 61 Ilgoskas scored five points on 2-of-8 shooting. Alexander 61 Pavlovich scored 0 points on 0-of-9 shooting. The play of these players is the reason why the Cavaliers have not been able to overtake the score, and why the Knicks have been able to control the situation on the court.
The rest of James and Gibson on the Cavaliers' side are really bad.
However, even so, the Knicks still only temporarily led the Cavaliers by three points at 65-62. This point difference is really not big. It's just a matter of three-point shooting.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter of the game, the Knicks attacked, Chen Jiyuan received the ball in the high post, and made a jump shot directly, Anderson 61 Valejo is definitely not without defense, but this ball Chen Jiyuan has a jumper with a back, and Anderson 61 Vallejo is really out of reach. The ball hit it safely. 67:62γ
The Cavaliers turned around, and James passed the ball and assisted Szczebiak to hit a three-pointer, 67-65.
The Knicks attacked, Chen Jiyuan was in this position again, Anderson 61 Vallejo defended Chen Jiyuan alone, and Chen Jiyuan received a pass from Sessions and jumped directly. There is no technical trick at all. The ball hit again. 69:65γ
The Cavaliers' offense was unsuccessful this time, and James rushed into the inside, but under Chen Jiyuan's interference, James missed the layup, and the rebound was grabbed by Chen Jiyuan. Then the Knicks tried to break fast, but it didn't work, and Sessions could only hold the tempo down and wait until his teammates were in position.
Chen Jiyuan asked for the ball again in the same position, and after Sessions passed the ball, Chen Jiyuan made another jumper, and the ball went in again. It was still exactly the same action as the previous two balls, and Anderson 61 Vallejo was about to cry. The position is not changed, the action is not changed, Chen Jiyuan got six points in a row.
But this is not the end, because, in this position, Chen Jiyuan shot six goals in a row, and the sixth missed. Got ten points in a row.
Fortunately, in the fourth quarter of the game, the Cavaliers' offense seemed to find some feeling, and the score was not pulled away.
After Chen Jiyuan scored ten points in a row, the score on the court became 75:70.
