Chapter 392: You're the Most Dominant Center? (Above)
Earlier, O'Neal said that I am still the most dominant center in the league, but Chen will take my place sooner or later.
Some people may happily accept O'Neill's words, after all, O'Neill is the predecessor of the alliance, and when O'Neill dominated the alliance, Chen Jiyuan didn't know where it was.
However, there were some people, and Chen Jiyuan was obviously not included among these people.
Chen Jiyuan did not hesitate to fight back against O'Neill's words. It's full of fighting spirit.
Chen Jiyuan decided, no matter who it is, no matter who is in front of him, Chen Jiyuan will resolutely hit it. It doesn't matter if it's a so-called senior. Even if some fans will say that Chen Jiyuan doesn't respect his predecessors or anything like that, Chen Jiyuan doesn't care anymore.
Chen Jiyuan already knows from the fans in Cleveland, don't expect all the fans to like you, as long as you don't get hated by all the fans. The worst failure is to be hated by the fans in the city where your team is located.
After Chen Jiyuan left Cleveland, how did Cleveland's fans treat Chen Jiyuan, Chen Jiyuan looked at it, in this league, in this world, Chen Jiyuan no longer wants to care about what other people think of themselves. There's no need to say those things in order to get more fans like, and it's against your will to say this and that. After finishing speaking, Chen Jiyuan himself was melancholy, and he was noisy when he said this.
Now, Chen Jiyuan is unhappy with O'Neal saying his own words, so Chen Jiyuan is about to say what he wants to say, Chen Jiyuan doesn't want to care about what O'Neill thinks, let alone whether O'Neill will be happy, why didn't he consider my feelings when he said that I can't do it now. Chen Jiyuan thought so in his heart.
As a result, the game between the Knicks and the Suns has changed from a general attraction to a super highlight. Because, Chen Jiyuan and O'Neill are a bit-for-tat now.
The rivalry between Chen Jiyuan and Howard is well known to the world. However, it is also well known to the world that the relationship between Chen Jiyuan and Howard is very good. The two of them are very good friends in private.
But the relationship between Chen Jiyuan and O'Neill is far from harmonious, after all, there is not much intersection between the two people.
Although O'Neill is now in his twilight years, he is after all the most dominant center in the league. Now O'Neal is averaging 17.8 points and 8.4 rebounds per game. This number looks pretty good, if you don't look at O'Neill's contract.
The confrontation between Chen Jiyuan and O'Neal attracted bad onlookers because it became full of gunpowder.
Before the game began, O'Neill also responded to Chen Jiyuan.
'We can't have a little bit of success in some teams and not know where we are. This is always bad for future growth. We, the seniors, need to educate more about such people. β
O'Neill's words are blunt enough. Instantly, the smell of gunpowder rises, and it feels like it's about to explode at any moment.
The game was played in New York with the Knicks playing at home.
When O'Neill entered the stadium, there was a little bit of a situation, and the fans in the stadium stood up frantically and broke out into crazy boos for O'Neal. It's just a regular regular season. But. Fans in New York still don't allow anyone who looks down on their king to save their zΓ i. It's still not going to be so easy to endure it. They showed their attitude. This is the consequence of anyone who dares to provoke like New York and Chen Jiyuan. New York doesn't scare anyone.
In this game, the Knicks' starters were Chen Jiyuan, Kevin Love, Ramon Sessions, Rodney Starkey, and Stephen Jackson.
The Suns' starters are, Shaquille O'Neal, Steve Nash, Amare Stoudemire, Grant Hill, Jason Richardson.
Before the start of the game, Chen Jiyuan still greeted Nash very friendly, because Nash never provoked trouble, it can be said that no one in this alliance is Nash's enemy, on the contrary, basically everyone in the whole alliance is Nash's friend.
The relationship between Chen Jiyuan and Nash is not very good, but it is definitely not so bad that he doesn't even say hello before the game starts.
However, Chen Jiyuan didn't say hello to O'Neill, because O'Neill didn't mean to come forward to greet Chen Jiyuan, and Chen Jiyuan didn't want to put a hot face on his cold ass.
Chen Jiyuan and O'Neal's jump ball is still relatively easy, after all, Chen Jiyuan's bullet speed is better than O'Neal's. O'Neal's huge body is a big killer on his inside. But at the same time, it will make his speed not top-notch.
The Knicks took the lead in attacking, and Chen Jiyuan received the ball one step inside the three-point line after half time, and Chen Jiyuan took the ball in this place, which was a headache for the opponent, because Chen Jiyuan's shooting rate in this place was very high, and it was the highest among the entire big players, and Chen Jiyuan was more accurate than some small players. It's an incredible thing.
Chen Jiyuan's shooting rate in this position is 39.3%. This hit rate is simply astonishing. Some outside players who are not set up from a long distance are not as high as Chen Jiyuan's shooting rate. However, Chen Jiyuan's shooting range is basically a little away from the three-point line, and he has never made a move outside the three-point line, although Chen Jiyuan often has an urge to shoot on the outside. But Chen Jiyuan restrained himself, Chen Jiyuan knew that he had no outside three-point ability, and shooting in the game would only make him fall into a bad rhythm, although Chen Jiyuan was very strong in the game, although this mood was very strong, but Chen Jiyuan could hold back.
After Chen Jiyuan received the ball, O'Neill didn't go forward to defend, let alone go forward, and in the end, O'Neill still didn't have thousands, and kept a short distance from Chen Jiyuan. Chen Jiyuan jumped up without hesitation and shot this large two-point shot, and the ball went in. It seems that Chen Jiyuan's hand feels very good today.
Although O'Neill jumped forward to make up for the defense, it had no effect, and after Chen Jiyuan shot, he turned around and returned to his own half. 2:0γ
On the commentary bench, Barkley looked at O'Neal's defense just now, and said with a smile: "Shaquek's slow and heavy body, there is really no way to defend Chen's jump shot." β
Kenny Smith said something that was fair: "Chen's jumper at this position is very accurate, Shaquay should go out to defend, but O'Neal's movement speed is easy to be overcome." It's hard to prevent. I think the Suns will switch defenses and let Stoudemire go out to defend Chen. and will not blindly let Shaquay defend Chen"
The Suns attacked, and now the Suns' offense is no longer the previous bombardment, but has become a half-run-and-half-positional battle tactic.
This ball, after Nash dribbled the ball through the half, the Suns players except for O'Neal in the inside key unexpectedly, the rest of the people were running around on the outside, looking for opportunities, Grant Hill ran back and found a little opportunity, Nash's pass arrived instantly, Grant Hill comfortably received the ball, directly shot a two-point shot, and the ball also went in. 2:2γ
The next Knicks' offense, Chen Jiyuan's request here, Stoudemire did not come to defend Chen Jiyuan, after all, the head coach did not make such a tactical arrangement, and O'Neal still did not come forward to defend this time.
Chen Jiyuan received the ball at the position of the previous ball, and then saw O'Neal's position, and shot this ball here, this ball, Chen Jiyuan was more confident when he shot. Because of the previous ball, Chen Jiyuan shot in this position, and hit it very steadily, so Chen Jiyuan also felt that this ball should be able to score, and then, the basketball did not disappoint Chen Jiyuan and successfully entered the basket. 4:2γ
After Chen Jiyuan hit a shot in this position for the second time, the Suns had to pay attention. After all, one ball may still be clouded, but the possibility of two balls being covered is relatively small.
Then, the Suns' defensive problems come out. Should O'Neill go out and defend?
The Suns' offense, Nash burst in by blocking and dismantling, and then made a ground-hitting pass, giving the ball to Jason Richardson on the outside, Stephen Jackson, who was supposed to defend Jason Richardson, because he surrounded Nash, so when he rushed over, Jason Richardson had already shot a three-pointer, but unfortunately the ball bounced out of the frame.
Chen Jiyuan and O'Neal competed for rebounds on the inside, O'Neal wanted to card Chen Jiyuan, but how could Chen Jiyuan let O'Neal get his way, Chen Jiyuan simply turned around and hugged O'Neal because of the timing of the card position, and he didn't grab the rebound, but he definitely didn't let O'Neal grab the rebound, this is Chen Jiyuan's trust in Lefu, and Lefu did not live up to Chen Jiyuan's trust, and successfully took the rebound into his arms. After Lefu grabbed the rebound, he gave the ball to Sessions who came to answer, Sessions ran to the front half with the ball, after half time, Sessions stood at a 45-degree angle on the left side looking for an opportunity, and then, suddenly, Sessions raised his hand and gave the ball to Chen Jiyuan who cut in the middle, Chen Jiyuan because his movement speed and O'Neal were not at the same level as a player, so he had already left O'Neal behind and received a pass from Sessions. Although Amare Stoudemire on the Suns' side also made up for Chen Jiyuan in time, but because he was put on the inside line by Lefra, when Amare Stoudemire rushed over to make up for Chen Jiyuan, he couldn't afford it, but Amare Stoudemire still jumped to block Chen Jiyuan, Chen Jiyuan and Amare Stoudemire basically jumped at the same time, and the two people collided head-on, this side of the competition.
In the air, the chests of the two people slammed together, Chen Jiyuan did not flinch at all, Amare Stoudemire is also a tough guy, the ball style is very tough, the collision between the two people in the air is very intense, Chen Jiyuan doesn't know what to give up at all, at that moment, Chen Jiyuan's body is too much, Nima, I want to dunk this ball in.
Chen Jiyuan was in the air, and Chen Jiyuan slammed into Amare Stoudemire. Then from holding the ball in both hands, to grabbing the ball with one hand, and dunking it into the basket. The swing of the basket represents how much force Chen Jiyuan's ball used just now. It also proves how strong Chen Jiyuan's strength is.
After the ball was scored, Amare Stoudemire was knocked to the ground, and Chen Jiyuan almost fell trembling, but soon Chen Jiyuan found his center of gravity and regained his footing.
This ball is an obvious foul, Chen Jiyuan's goal is counted as two points, and he has to add a free throw.
Chen Jiyuan has just stood firm. Standing near the three-point line at home, clenching his fists with both hands, looking up to the sky is roaring, "Come.On, baby." β
The atmosphere of the home fans was ignited in an instant.
Many fans on the sidelines stood up and shouted. Now the long side, no, all New York fans know the content of Chen Jiyuan's shouting every time, that is Chen Jiyuan's natural shout, it is a bloody roar.
Come.OnοΌbabyγ
Sessions, Love, Starkey and Stephen Jackson all came over and high-fived Chen.
Speaking of which, the relationship between Chen Jiyuan and Stephen Jackson should be said to be quite good, after all, Stephen Jackson is a person with his own temper, but at the same time, he is also a very righteous person, and he has a very good appetite for Chen Jiyuan.
However, Chen Jiyuan and Stephen Jackson have less time to get along after all, so they don't have a particularly deep relationship. What's more, Chen Jiyuan wants to trade Stephen Jackson next season, because Stephen Jackson is not the cornerstone of Chen Jiyuan's team after all. Iguodala is also leaning towards joining the Knicks now, so it would hurt to keep Stephen Jackson. So, while Stephen Jackson is still worth trading. It's better to do your best to get a valuable player.
Chen Jiyuan walked to the free throw line and hit the free throw steadily. Hit a three-point success. The score on the field became 7:2.
The Suns attacked again, and Nash dribbled the ball through the half, and this time Nash took advantage of Amare Stoudemire's block, not passing, but shooting a three-pointer of his own. With this ball, Nash successfully helped the Suns open up the offensive situation. The score became 7:5 in an instant.
The Knicks' offense, Chen Jiyuan took the ball in the high post, this time O'Neal went on defense, Chen Jiyuan raised his hand and pretended to shoot, O'Neal didn't jump, but his hand was always in front of Chen Jiyuan. Chen Jiyuan shook for a moment, and after seeing that there was no reaction, Chen Jiyuan took a step to the right, O'Neill followed Chen Jiyuan's footsteps in front of him, and his body slightly to the right, Chen Jiyuan instantly started volleyball, breaking through from O'Neill's left side, and when O'Neill turned his huge body and wanted to defend Chen Jiyuan, it was too late. O'Neill has lost his defensive position.
Chen Jiyuan rushed into the interior without the slightest pause, this time, the Suns players had the lesson of Amare Stoudemire, did not step forward to make up for the defense, and Amare Stoudemire was pulled down by Lefour to the bottom corner of the right side, far away, back is no longer in a hurry, obviously time can't catch up with the defense, Amare Stoudemire did not waste his body stupidly.
After Chen Jiyuan rushed in, he slammed the buckle with a relaxed one-hand. Completed the show. 9:5γ
The Sun attacked again, O'Neal singled Chen Jiyuan inside, Chen Jiyuan resisted O'Neal behind him, but O'Neal turned around a little, and then a hook hand, Chen Jiyuan didn't reach it, and the ball went in. This hook is also considered an offensive means for O'Neal, and the number of times it has been applied is not too small. However, with this offensive means, O'Neal's shooting percentage is not particularly high. So more often than not, on the inside, after getting the ball in that position just now, O'Neal will choose to attack by arching the defender and then forcing a dunk. And this trick has been tried and tested repeatedly. However, this trick is a bit strenuous for Chen Jiyuan, O'Neill's body is indeed very strong and powerful, but it is not a non-earth realm, in other words, there are still people on the earth who can withstand him. And Chen Jiyuan is one of them, not to mention that the current O'Neill is old. It's no longer the flexible big fat guy who gave people a super headache back then. 9:7γ
When it came to the Knicks' offense, Chen Jiyuan received the ball near the three-point line again, this ball, O'Neal really had a headache, because he didn't defend it, Chen Jiyuan wanted to shoot, let it go, Chen Jiyuan could break through, but O'Neal still chose to step forward to defend, because the previous two consecutive mid-range shots can prove that Chen Jiyuan's hand feels very good, even if he wants Chen Jiyuan to shoot, he has to wait for Chen Jiyuan's hand to cool down.
O'Neill stepped forward to defend, and on the other side, near the middle line, Jason Richardson was also paying attention to Chen Jiyuan's movements, and it seemed that he was always ready to make up for it.
Chen Jiyuan took another step to the right, and then, a crossing, gave the ball to the bottom line to run out of the opportunity Starkey, after Starkey received the ball, directly into the basket, facing Amare Stoudemire's supplemental defense, Starkey a lever, just when Amare Stoudemire was about to cover himself, Starkey took the ball back into his arms, and then went to the other side of the basket, on a right-handed wipe layup. The goal went in. 11:7γ
Starki's goal was also wonderful. Chen Jiyuan's pass was also in place, and O'Neill did not effectively interfere with Chen Jiyuan's pass at all.
The two sides then hit a few irons each, and with two and a half minutes left in the first quarter, a bench player on each side stepped in.
