Chapter 368
The game between the Knicks and the Thunder, there is basically no suspense in the whole game, the main thing is that the Thunder is really weak now, even if Durant, an immortal genius, is selected, but it will not be so simple, and the effect will be immediate so quickly. still have to wait for Westbrook to grow up, and his colleague Durant himself to grow up, and then after the selection of Harden, the Thunder's offensive three will come out, but without Ibaka's Thunder, the interior defense will become a super big problem.
In the end, the game between the Knicks and the Thunder ended with the victory of the Knicks, you know, after winning this game, the Knicks have won an astonishing 9 games. A 9-1 record puts the Knicks at No. 1 in the East. The whole team, as well as all the Knicks fans, were delighted with the result. Chen Jiyuan is no exception. Being able to play such a record fully proves that Chen Jiyuan's team building plan is still effective. It can even be said that the effect is quite good.
After that, Chen Jiyuan was even more looking forward to the time when he would play with Stephen Jackson. Because according to Chen Jiyuan's idea, the current Knicks' forward defense is still not good, so if Iguodala can be introduced, then the Knicks' defense will go up a notch, and now although there is no way to introduce Iguodala for the time being, Stephen Jackson is at the peak of his career recently, and in addition to averaging good points per game, defense is also Stephen Jackson's forte. And Stephen Jackson can also enhance the Knicks' outside offensive firepower, although Stephen Jackson is not the kind of small forward three-point shooter who is accurate, but his three points are definitely over the passing line, unlike Starkey, it is estimated that Starkey's three-point strength can also score 60 points, 150 full points.
After the game against the Thunder, the Knicks continued to play at home against the Dallas Mavericks.
Speaking of the Dallas Mavericks, it will remind people of Chen Jiyuan's years in Dallas, although the time is very short, but after all, the management of the Dallas Mavericks still selected Chen Jiyuan's team, and the relationship between Chen Jiyuan and Nowitzki is still very good, although because of Chen Jiyuan's affairs, the management of Dallas once received a lot of doubts from Dallas fans, mainly because Chen Jiyuan's transaction was not asked to be traded by himself, but was traded, as a fan, Of course they know what's going on, either it's used to exchange for better stars, and Chen Jiyuan's situation is obviously not, or for some reason this person must be traded out of the team, and this reason is either with teammates or with management, however, if there is a conflict with the management, then in most cases the players will express more or less dissatisfaction with the outside world, expressing dissatisfaction to achieve the purpose of being traded, but Chen Jiyuan did not do this, then, The real reason why Chen Jiyuan was traded is obvious, it must be a contradiction with a player in the team, and the team's management comprehensively analyzed the pros and cons and found that the player still couldn't be traded, so Chen Jiyuan was traded away, as for the so-called bullshit about letting Chen Jiyuan have a better development and let Chen Jiyuan go to a more suitable team for him, only a fool who doesn't understand anything will believe it.
Because Chen Jiyuan gradually played a superstar-level game, many Dallas fans were in one of the management's operations at that time, although they couldn't change anything, but people were like this, knowing in time that things couldn't be changed, but they would still regret and complain.
However, this matter has been in the past for a while, so now the game between Chen Jiyuan and the Maverick is not so eye-catching, relatively, the game between Chen Jiyuan and the Knight will be more expected, because leaving the Knight is Chen Jiyuan's own decision, so Chen Jiyuan was abused by the Cavaliers' fans for a while.
In this game, the Knicks are very uneasy, and now Nowitzki is still one of the strongest scoring machines in the league, with an extremely soft shooting touch, shooting locations all over the half court, as the most big shooter-type player, Nowitzki waited for his theoretical assistant this year - Jason Kidd. Kuban has basically given half the team in exchange for Kidd, who is not too old. Originally, it was planned to form a championship team with Nowitzki-Kidd-Josh Howard as the core, but what I didn't expect was that the Mavericks had a ** reaction after the exchange for Kidd, although this reaction was not very obvious, but Kidd's number jรน source has declined significantly, although Kidd's age is a reason, but, I have to admit that Kidd's current attribute characteristics and Mavericks are not social. The Mavericks' favorite is individual singles, in the Mavericks' offensive system, singles occupy a considerable score, Nowitzki's singles, Josh Howard's singles, you know, these singles not only have a fairly high success rate, but also have a very good point, that is, mistakes will become very few, which is also normal, the number of passes is less, and the number of mistakes is naturally less. But Kidd's personal scoring ability is actually not first-class, you know, what Kidd likes most in the league is his all-round, what is called comprehensive, that is, scores, rebounds, assists, these three numbers are relatively high. As the league's triple-double, Kidd's three-point shot is actually very second. After the breakthrough, he often splits the ball, and Kidd's passing is very penetrating, which is true, but Kidd is also a human being, so naturally there will be mistakes. If there are more passes, not only will Kidd make mistakes here, but there will also be some mistakes elsewhere, although these small mistakes are not a big deal and cannot affect the trend of the normal game, but in the playoffs, it will affect the trend of the entire series.
The game with the Mavericks is about to start, in this game, Thibodeau is obviously very aware of the offensive characteristics of the Mavericks, so he arranged the defensive plan very purposefully, Lefu withstood Nowitzki, Chen Jiyuan is ready to make up for the defense at any time, and Dampier can strategically give up the defense, mainly because even if this guy doesn't defend, he will be that bearish. Theoretically, the defense on the inside is not a big problem, but the defense on the outside is a miserable problem. You know, Josh Howard is still an All-Star caliber player. And Stephen Jackson needs to play in the next game, so he still has to rely on Tony Allen to defend Josh Howard, however, Tony Allen's height suffers a little, and Josh Howard is also a fairly strong small forward, and Terry's defense is a headache for the Knicks, although Starkey is not a black hole-level defensive player, but he is not a qualified defensive player. As for Crawford, let alone think about it, if Crawford is allowed to defend Terry, then it is very likely that Terry will get more than 30 distractions. You know, when the Mavericks and the Heat fought six games in the Finals, Terry didn't score less.
Therefore, how to effectively limit the outside line of the Mavericks in this game has become the key to winning or losing the game, and for the Mavericks, how to effectively limit the interior players of the Knicks, well, Chen Jiyuan, has become the key.
The game is about to start, there is no change in the starting line on the Knicks' side, Thibodeau sent Chen Jiyuan to play center, Love as the starting power forward, and the starting small forward is Tony Allen, Tony Allen is actually a bit reluctant to play this position, height is a hard injury after all, but relying on strength. It's not that you can't fight. The starting No. 1 and No. 2 positions were Sessions and Starkey, respectively.
The Mavericks' starters are Dirk Nowitzki, Jason Kidd, Josh Howard, Eric Dampier and Gerard Green.
In fact, if you talk about strength, the starting point guard must be Terry, but, in order to ensure the strong attack power of the bench lineup, Terry rarely plays the starter, but Terry will be out of the factory for longer than the starter. This is a bit similar to the meaning of Tian Ji horse racing. Eh, aren't your substitutes weak? Hey, hey, I'll send a super strong guy to play with you when you're weak. There is absolutely a scientific basis for the saying that people are invincible.
Chen Jiyuan and Dampier are also old acquaintances, and when they were Mavericks, the relationship between Chen Jiyuan and Dampier was not so good. Well, to be precise, it's very bad, because Chen Jiyuan, as a rookie, came up and taught Dampier, a big center with an annual salary of tens of millions, a lesson, and at the same time made Dampier lose face in front of many people, so it's no wonder that the relationship between the two can be good.
The game started with a whistle from the referee, Chen Jiyuan didn't jump as well as Dampier, but Dampier dialed the ball to Kidd, and Kidd slowly moved forward after receiving the ball, and he couldn't see the meaning of seeking a fast attack opportunity, but once a teammate found a chance to go fast, Chen Jiyuan dared to guarantee that Kidd's pass would arrive instantly. If it weren't for a few brushes, why would Kidd share the best rookie with Jordan's successor, Hill.
After half-time, Kidd stood at the top of the arc, did not rush to attack, but slowly watched the shape of the field, and in the end, Kidd still gave the ball to Nowitzki, who was in position at a 45-degree angle on the right. Nowitzki's back singled Lefou, facing one of the strongest attacking big forwards in the entire league, Lefu also held his breath, engrossed in observing Nowitzki's movements, when Nowitzki raised his hand, Lefu was deceived by Nowitzki's action, and the center of gravity rose slightly, fortunately, Lefu still remembered Thibodeau's teaching, don't jump lightly, so this ball Lefu is only slightly up in the center, and his feet have not left the ground, so when Nowitzki passed by Lefou's side, Lefu quickly adjusted his center and chased Nowitzki. On the other side, Chen Jiyuan has always been observing Nowitzki's movements, seeing that Lefu was shaken, Chen Jiyuan quickly let go of Dampier and made up the defense, and Nowitzki saw that there was a supplementary defense in front of him, and he chased the soldiers later, and he did not make it hard, but a ground pass, and gave the ball to Dampier on the other side of the bottom line, Dampier took a big step forward after receiving the ball, intending to make a violent dunk to boost the morale of the team. However, Dampier obviously forgot something, and really thought that Chen Jiyuan was eating porridge. Chen Jiyuan obviously eats dry rice.
Dampier jumped here, and when Chen Jiyuan was defending Novitsky, he didn't jump, so Chen Jiyuan quickly turned around, a very charged jump, and Dampier didn't have too much physical contact in the air, but his hand was dead on the basketball in Dampier's hands. And Dampier also tried his best to dunk the ball into the basket, the power in the air was competitive, Chen Jiyuan gritted his teeth, and finally successfully completed the block, Chen Jiyuan, who landed, was also very excited, and beat his strong chest violently.
