Chen Jiyuan began to hold the ball and singled Howard, and at this time he couldn't give the ball to Nate Robinson. Because the score is now approaching by the Magic, in order to maintain the morale of the team, the scoring drought can no longer be allowed to continue at this time, and compared with believing in Nate Robinson, Chen Jiyuan certainly believes in himself more.

Although Chen Jiyuan is willing to give up his ball to his teammates, but at the most critical moment, to be honest, Chen Jiyuan still believes in himself the most from the bottom of his heart. It's not a good thing, but it's not a bad thing.

In this ball, Chen Jiyuan took a pass from Nate Robinson and singled Howard near the three-second zone.

Speaking of which, both the fans at the scene and the fans in front of the TV are very happy today. Because today's game is just like the publicity, but it's really Chen Jiyuan vs. Howard. Because two people have played against each other many times, it can be said that this game is a real center duel, unlike sometimes, when the two teams are going to fight, it must be a poster of the duel between the stars of the two teams, but it is another thing to actually get to the game.

For example, in the Finals that year, the showdown between James and Durant, and all kinds of propaganda said that the peak matchup of small forwards. However, the problem is that in the Finals, Durant didn't defend James at all, but James went to defend Durant, which is not Durant's problem, but because of the need for tactical arrangement, because it turns out that James has a better shooting rate under Durant's defense, and relatively speaking, it is better to defend James. So the head coach of the Thunder chose to defend James. Therefore, in that year, the number of times James and Durant really held the ball to attack and defend each other was actually not very much, let alone determine who was the league's No. 1 small forward.

Therefore, in today's game, Chen Jiyuan and Howard have a lot of confrontations, and the two of them have also attacked with the ball many times, which can be said to be the peak duel of the center. Coupled with the fact that both of them have that passionate style of play, it naturally makes the fans feel crooked.

Chen Jiyuan singled Howard again this time, Chen Jiyuan faced the frame, and his right foot poked out to the right, but Howard was not an ordinary person, he didn't eat this level of feints at all, Howard continued to observe Chen Jiyuan's movements with full attention, although Chen Jiyuan did not achieve any effect on this probe, but Chen Jiyuan still walked in the middle, Howard naturally quickly followed Chen Jiyuan's footsteps, Howard used his chest to resist Chen Jiyuan, not letting Chen Jiyuan follow his own rhythm with the ball, and at the same time as an opponent, Howard also used to study Chen Jiyuan quite thoroughly, others don't know, but Howard knows very well that Chen Jiyuan's hook is very threatening, and Howard is also quite clear that Chen Jiyuan's hook is definitely quite difficult to prevent, although Chen Jiyuan's arm span is not top-notch, but it is not a defect, although Chen Jiyuan's hook hand does not shoot the ball straight at the highest point, but the shot point is not very low, why is such a hook hand so difficult to defend, That is, Chen Jiyuan has a terrifying physical collision ability, as well as a cautious attitude towards the choice of shots. The most important thing is that Chen Jiyuan will use his body to hit the space before hooking, so that it is basically impossible for the opponent to block Chen Jiyuan's hook. It is not for nothing that there are people who have been able to limit Chen Jiyuan's hooks, O'Neal is the only one who can meet this requirement in terms of strength and height, but Chen Jiyuan often throws his hand on the outside first when he singles O'Neal, and then rushes to the inside on the outside. As for Ben Wallace, who can compete with Chen Jiyuan in terms of strength, he is too short, and Chen Jiyuan basically ignores him. Even if Ben Wallace disrupts the rhythm of Chen's hook with his strength, Chen can guarantee a high hit rate.

What Howard has to do with this ball is not to let Chen Jiyuan come to the middle with the highest shooting percentage, because Chen Jiyuan is very accurate in all places compared to the basket in the middle of the front basket. And what Howard has to do is to prevent Chen Jiyuan from coming here, although Howard is very clear about what he wants to do, but it is quite difficult to do this. Chen Jiyuan's strength is quite strong. It's not like Howard can squeeze through if he wants to. Even so, Howard made an effort to do it. However, Chen Jiyuan still followed his own rhythm, although the muscle collision with Howard made Chen Jiyuan's dribbling a little out of rhythm, but Chen Jiyuan did not flinch, but Meng's strength, and Howard collided with each other, and the full force between the two super muscle sticks collided, and the players on the court heard the impact of the frame. It's a collision between men.

Howard didn't back down at all, and Chen Jiyuan also desperately hit forward, so, in the face of the basket, Chen Jiyuan hooked his right hand after a collision with Howard, and Howard quickly moved forward to interfere with this hook, but unfortunately it still failed. Although Chen Jiyuan's hook hand wandered around the basket for a while, he finally obediently entered the basket. 48:43。

Such a tough defense and tough offense are good for the opponents on both sides, and there will be a morale boost, after all, the boss of his team is so desperate, as long as there are players who want to win, at this time, they all know what to do.

The next offense of the Magic, Turkoglu continued his good touch, although he first shot a three-point shot and did not score, but then the Knicks' backcourt rebound was shot out of the three-point line by Lewis, after Ralph Alston received the ball, he walked to the three-point line, and then shook it, Nate Robinson came running, but Ralph Alston just shook it, and did not shoot at all, and after Nate Robinson flew over, Ralph Alston passed the ball to Tekoglou in the three-point line, Then Turkoglu made a three-point layup, dodged Chen Jiyuan's block, and successfully scored the ball. 48:45。

Chen Jiyuan's performance is not over yet, after that, Chen Jiyuan and Howard had a rather passionate physical collision on the inside, and people who don't know will definitely think that the relationship between the two is very poor. But in fact, the friendship between the two is still very good.

Chen Jiyuan received the ball from Nate Robinson's breakthrough ball, and received the ball in a very deep position, and after receiving the ball, Chen Jiyuan did not hesitate, and directly jumped up and made a violent dunk. If Chen Jiyuan can do this kind of ball, Chen Jiyuan will definitely jump up and dunk instead of licking the blue. Not dunking is not Chen Jiyuan's character. 50:45。

On the Magic side, Turkoglu is still so accurate, directly a three-point shot, and once again accurately entered the basket, is Turkoglu going crazy today? 50:48。 The Knicks' advantage is already being eaten away by the Magic. If it weren't for the last two goals Chen Jiyuan successfully scored on the inside, then the Knicks might have overtaken the score by now.

But obviously the Knicks are still not ready to give up the lead like this, the Knicks' offense, Chen Jiyuan blocked Stephen Jackson this time, which is a relatively rare tactic, because Stephen Jackson's ability to break through with the ball is not particularly prominent, so it is rare for Stephen Jackson to make such a tactical arrangement, and after Chen Jiyuan blocked Stephen Jackson for this ball, Stephen Jackson rushed straight to the inside, and then an easy layup was successfully blocked by Howard. Chen Jiyuan was behind Stephen Jackson, picked up the ball, and then threw the ball in. 52:48。

Chen Jiyuan's consecutive scores can be regarded as helping the Knicks stabilize their position. However, the score was indeed closed by the Magic.

Although there is still a 4-point lead. But Turkoglou's back-to-back individual scoring has helped the Magic turn the wind around. That's the key question.

However, then, both sides fell into a scoring drought. It should be caused by the temporary lack of targeted defense and offensive touch on both sides.

Chen Jiyuan's pitcher at Howard hooked again, but unfortunately this time there was no goal.

On the Magic side, Turkoglou also shot from mid-range, but the ball didn't go in. It seems that Turkoglu has finally put an end to this temporary little outburst. However, Stephen Jackson's defense of Turkoglu is tighter, which is also one of the reasons. Now Stephen Jackson is desperate to glue the two of them together with 101 glue for Turkoglou. And Turkoglu just can't wait to kick Stephen Jackson, and kick Stephen Jackson as far as his ideals are.

Both sides frequently strike iron. During this period, the scores of both sides basically did not rise. It was Love who hit a layup and Courtney Lee hit a mid-range. Then the score became 54:50.

Such a game with a fixed score is very unpopular with fans, which is why the ratings of the Spurs and Pistons in the Finals that year were so low. It's because both sides are notoriously strong defensive teams, and the game between the two sides is a defensive competition.

And now 10 minutes into the third quarter, the score of the two sides is still deadlocked at 54:50. It also makes people feel speechless and helpless.

But soon someone came out to break the deadlock. It's not Chen Jiyuan, it's not Howard, it's a surprising and not surprising person who stood up and put on a small performance in the last two minutes.
