Chapter 347: The First Quarter of the Game

After Iguodala said the reason, Chen Jiyuan also understood. Why would Iguodala agree with his own construction.

Soon, the meal came, and after the two of them had eaten, they dispersed. They all went to the arena to prepare for the evening game. Although the two of them can still have a meal together before dinner, and they can laugh and chat together, but after they get on the court, it is different. After the game, the two sides are opponents. There can be no mercy on anyone's side. Otherwise, the profession will be too inferior in the end.

The race is about to begin. The starting lineup of the Knicks has not changed, it is still Chen Jiyuan, Sessions, Starkey, Tony Allen, David Lee.

The Philadelphia 76ers' starters were die-hard starters Andre Iguodala and Elton Brand. and Samuel Daimport. Andre Miller and Thaddeus Young are also starting point guards and starting small forwards, respectively.

The game started immediately, the referee threw the ball into the sky, Chen Jiyuan and his old acquaintance Dareham Porter jumped up together, ready to fight for the ball, this time, Chen Jiyuan jumped a little late, Daim Porter grabbed the ball, and the 76ers attacked first.

After Miller dribbled the ball through the half, he didn't dare to relax at all in the face of Sessions' defense, Miller knew Sessions' defense, he was a very stable defensive point guard last season, and in the last game, it was obvious that Sessions' defensive progress was improved, and Sessions would use his speed to make steal threats. Thibodeau's education has been a success.

Andre Miller slowly dribbled the ball to the right sideline, and when he reached the position of 45 degrees, Miller suddenly made a pass to Iguodala, Iguodala had been thrown in front of Starkey at this time, Miller's ball, the strength was just right, the height was just over Starkey's hand, Iguodala received the ball comfortably, did not shoot, jumped directly, and came to a one-handed split.

Iguodala can fly and jump, his body is vigorous, and when he can perform, he will never use a layup to solve the battle. Iguodala ended the fight with a really good dunk.

Chen Jiyuan was a little far away from the basket, so the ball didn't have time to make up for it in time. 0:2。

The 76ers came up and scored a very morale-boosting ball. However, this is the home court of the Knicks right now, so there is no cheering on the sidelines.

The Knicks attacked, after Sessions controlled the ball over half court, Sessions passed the ball to Starkey, who faced Iguodala's defense, first a very fast change of direction, but did not shake off Iguodala at all, you know, Iguodala's defense is the league's first-class, lateral movement is fast, and the strength is not afraid of anyone. Even if James was in front of Iguodala, there was no way to get any favors. When a team has a super defensive gate, it is natural for this defensive master to mark the opponent's offensive sharpshooters. In the last game, the scene of Starkey's crazy scoring is still imprinted in everyone's hearts.

Starki didn't have any good chances to attack. There was no way, but to pass the ball to Sessions on the outside, and after Sessions received the ball, he shot a relatively reluctant three-pointer directly under Miller's defense, and the ball was deflected. Dyrem Porter stuck Chen Jiyuan to protect this defensive rebound, Chen Jiyuan pulled Dyham Porter behind him with his hands, trying to grab a good position, but when the two people were competing for the position, Brand accepted the backcourt rebound. Brand is in good physical condition, but he is one of the top power forwards in the league. There are really not many big forwards who can average 20+10 per game. It's just that injuries ruined this genius.

After Brand grabbed the rebound, a long throw gave the ball to Iguodala who was running, Iguodala quickly rushed forward after holding the ball, the Knicks were under Thibodeau's **, and the requirement was that the defense must be timely, but it didn't work yet, the 76ers' fast break was launched by Iguodala and Miller together, and the Knicks retreated only Sessions. 2-on-1 in the frontcourt, Miller gave Iguodala to block Sessions, Iguodala had no one in front of him, and an easy one-handed dunk. Completed this fast attack. 0:4。

This time, after half-time, when Starkey came to Sessions' side to ask for the ball, he was decisively denied. Sessions didn't give the ball to Starkey, who had to obediently go to the bottom corner and wait for the ball. As a point guard, Sessions must have his own choice at this time, not to mention, Stucky does not have any strength to make Sessions have to give him the ball, if Chen Jiyuan wants the ball, Sessions will still consider it, but the defender that Stacky is facing today is Andre Iguodala, then, Sessions feels that it is necessary to let Stacky attract the defense. At this time, the main attack is still on the inside line, let Chen Jiyuan open up, then the Knicks will be much easier to play.

Sessions stretched out his hand and motioned for Starkey and the rest to disperse, pulling Chen Jiyuan away, Chen Jiyuan also discovered Sessions' intentions, knowing that Sessions wanted to avoid Iguodala's defense, so he wanted to let himself play alone.

Chen Jiyuan took half a step forward with his decisive left foot, stuck in front of Dareham Porter's knee, and then, with a force, he stuck Daimam Porter behind him, and Sessions directly passed the ball to Chen Jiyuan's right shoulder, and Chen Jiyuan stretched out his right hand to receive the ball. Dareham Potter preparing for singles. Daelham Potter's strength is not bad, although he can barely withstand Chen Jiyuan, but it is still difficult to prevent Chen Jiyuan, which can be seen from the previous battle records between Daim Potter and Chen Jiyuan. Chen Jiyuan can blow up Durham Potter every time. Moreover, the two have had conflicts before, so it can be said that every time he faces Dale Potter, Chen Jiyuan's heart will become very eager to score.

Chen Jiyuan singled Dyrem Potter with his back this time, Chen Jiyuan exerted force on his back and leaned on Dyrem Porter, Dyrem Porter must use all his strength to resist Chen Jiyuan in order to avoid being crushed by Chen Jiyuan to a position very close to the basket. However, as soon as Dylerpoter made a force, Chen Jiyuan quickly jammed Damham Porter with his right hand, and then turned directly from the right side, slipped to the bottom line and walked to the basket, Brand on the other side saw that Damham Porter had lost his defensive position, and quickly made up for it in the last period, but Chen Jiyuan suddenly accelerated, grabbed the basketball with both hands and raised it high. Brand also jumped up, ready to block Chen Jiyuan's obvious dunk, and Hellam Porter was behind him ready to make a behind-the-back block on Chen Jiyuan, but Chen Jiyuan was not afraid, and after knocking down Brand in the air, Brand's right hand did not hit the ball, but knocked Chen Jiyuan's left hand off the basketball. And Daim Potter behind him used his right hand to hug Chen Jiyuan down, but Daim Potter also hugged Chen Jiyuan's left hand, and Chen Jiyuan's left hand was still very painful after being beaten continuously. Chen Jiyuan frowned slightly, but Chen Jiyuan gritted his teeth, endured the pain in his hand, and reluctantly buckled the ball into the basket with his right hand, and after landing, Chen Jiyuan fell directly to the ground, and the referee's whistle also sounded. A very nice 2+1.

Chen Jiyuan sat on the ground, violently hammered his chest with his left hand, and let out a cry in his heart as he sat there.

“，baby！”

Sessions and Tony Allen on the side quickly stepped forward and stretched out their hands to Chen Jiyuan, who was sitting on the ground, Chen Jiyuan grabbed the hands of the two people with both hands and was pulled up by the two of them.

After standing up, Chen Jiyuan came to the free throw line and looked at Dalem Porter and Brand with contempt. It's a complete domineering side leak.

Chen Jiyuan's free throws are still very stable. The ball hit it safely. Penalties are also in the middle. Hit a three-point success. 3：4。

The 76ers attacked and entered a positional battle. Miller slowly took the ball, and Sessions watched the ball in Miller's hand very closely this time, not giving Miller a chance to pass the ball, but Miller was not looking for someone to pass the ball, but came by himself. Miller suddenly accelerated and rushed past Sessions, reacting a little slower by half a beat because he didn't expect Miller to do it himself. was squeezed out of the best defensive position by Miller, however, Sessions still followed Miller closely, ready to exert defensive pressure on Miller at any time, but it was not that simple, Miller threw a throw, completely ignoring the defense of Sessions behind, too, Sessions has lost his position, if Sessions insists on defending, he will only foul. And with Miller's free throw shooting percentage, the foul is just a pointless point, so I believe Sessions would not do such a stupid thing.

However, Miller apparently forgot something. In fact, it can't be said that Miller forgot jì.

Mainly, Chen Jiyuan left such an impression last season. The offensive end is a big killer, but the defensive end is not so tough, and the defensive mediocre is the most criticized thing for Chen Jiyuan last season, although there are not many people who mention this, but this fact is indeed there. However, this season's Chen Jiyuan has gradually become better and better in defense during this period of time in Ewing and Thibodeau, and Chen Jiyuan has already become a super defensive player. Therefore, as long as Chen Jiyuan gradually improves his defensive awareness and experience, then he can definitely become an excellent interior defensive gate.

This Miller's throw, forgetting how fast Chen Jiyuan's speed was, and also forgetting how good Chen Jiyuan's jumping shot was. Chen Jiyuan has been waiting for Miller to make a move since he saw Miller enter the interior line, and when he saw Miller make a gesture to shoot, Chen Jiyuan began to let go of his defensive Dalem Porter and went to make up for Miller. Although Miller may fake the real pass, after giving it to Damham Porter, with Damham Porter's physical elements, he should be able to jump in two big steps and then complete this dunk. However, Chen Jiyuan's ball is gambling, or literary and artistic, it is predicting, predicting that Miller's ball is really going to shoot, and Chen Jiyuan's prediction has obviously become the first, although because the time to make up the defense is a little late, there is no way to fan out a beautiful and domineering blood cap. However, he still used his fingertips to fan the ball that was still rising out of its original track, although I didn't know if the ball would go in.

The ball that Chen Jiyuan fanned was picked up by Starkey on the sideline, and after Starkey picked up the ball, he quickly ran to the front court. Starkey quickly launched a fast attack. The fastest person to retreat on the 76ers' side was Iguodala outside the three-point line, and Iguodala started running forward as soon as he saw Miller being blocked.

1v1 in the frontcourt. Whether or not we can score is up to Starkey. This ball, the person behind is also running forward, ready to catch this ball.

Starki faced Iguodala's defense, but did not slow down at all, and could not slow down, at this time, the offensive players had an advantage over the defensive players, but if you slow down a little, it will be over. The thing Starkey needs to be careful about now is not to let Iguodala cause a defensive foul.

Starki didn't slow down at all, he didn't have a chance to show off by Iguodala before, and Starky's heart was also quite aggrieved. And Sessions didn't even give him the ball, and Starkey was even more upset. Now that he has the opportunity, how can Starkey let it go. Starkey cut in from the right side, Iguodala retreated from the left, and quickly rushed towards Starkey, it seems that this ball, Iguodala is not going to make a foul after standing, but is going to defend this ball.

Starki took three strides and jumped into the air with a "poof", and Iguodala jumped up with him. Even if the ball was a foul, it wouldn't have allowed Starkey to dunk. has just been beaten into a 2+1 by Chen Jiyuan, the Knicks are already a little up, if at this time, in addition to a block and dunk of a dragon, then morale will be inferior to the Knicks. Iguodala was in the air, his left hand knocked down the ball, and Starki didn't want to give up such a good opportunity, but Iguodala still had the advantage in the air power match. Iguodala's body is very strong. Basically, all small forwards he can handle. If you want to force a dunk across him, it's not easy. Even James won't necessarily succeed. It's not surprising that Estaki's body didn't succeed. Iguodala single-handedly led the ball down and didn't let Starkey shoot the ball. Iguodala, who is a defensive expert, knows deeply that if this kind of fast-break foul is committed, it should be committed thoroughly, don't touch others lightly, that will only make the opponent play 2+1, although such a vicious foul will pay for the foul, but this will not only make the opponent's fast attack unable to succeed, but also prevent the opponent from taking the opportunity to play momentum.

Starkey made one of two free throws. The first free throw was missed, and the second was hit. 4:4。

Starki has been very active recently, and he feels very proud, and if someone is proud, naturally someone will be unhappy. That is, Crawford, the best sixth man, feels that Starkey's recent behavior is somewhat threatening his playing time, and he blames the head coach for reducing his shooting time, but he does not think that it is because of his own defensive problems. Crawford's body tends to be thin and he doesn't pay attention to defense, so he will naturally be reduced by Thibodeau.

Eight minutes into the first quarter, the Knicks and the 76ers were in a tight game. The main thing is that Brand played well today, just eight minutes, Brand got 7 points and 4 rebounds. Under David Lee's defense, Brand showed good offensive awareness and a wealth of offensive means. And Brand's table also gave Philadelphia fans an expectation. All Phillies are expecting Iguodala and Brand to lead the Philadelphia 76ers a little further, not in the first round, not in the shallow waters. The people of Philadelphia can't wait to see this year's playoffs. At that time, the 76ers can be re-formed, and the success of the post-AI era can be achieved. Although Chen Jiyuan knew that they were destined to be disappointed. No one could have imagined that Brand would be injured again, just as no one could have imagined that Auden the Great, who had been persuaded by the university to dominate, would be a glass man.

Eight minutes later, the Knicks and 76ers were tied at 18-18. The two sides split equally. Although Starkey played very actively on the Knicks' side, he did not achieve any good results under Iguodala's defense, Starkey is a rookie who has only played for two years after all, at least he is a rookie in front of Iguodala. Iguodala's defense is arguably one of the strongest at the small forward position. There aren't many forward defenders who can match Iguodala's defense. Especially if you want to think of Iguodala who can grab rebounds and deliver wonderful passes, there are even fewer defensive gates in the direction of the wind. Starki didn't have much chance in front of Iguodala, and the Knicks were still the main interior in the first quarter, which made the 76ers a little uncomfortable. Because Dyham Porter's own single defense Chen Jiyuan is a bit difficult, and if you wrap it, Chen Jiyuan's passing will make the 76ers' defense porous, once when playing the Knicks, wrapping Chen Jiyuan, and emptying the front line Chandler is everyone's favorite tactic, as long as Chen Jiyuan's single has an irrepressible momentum, then let the defenders of the front line go to the clip in an instant. Chen Jiyuan passed the ball, Chandler didn't score, in this way, he could play a lot better, and then after Chen Jiyuan's hand cooled down, he defended Chen Jiyuan alone. Now this method is a bit unworkable, in the past, when Thaddeus Young went to the trap, although Tony Allen did not have any offensive means, but when he was released, he had a considerable impact, and he wanted to rush to the line with the ball, and Brand's foul was paid to Tony Allen.

In the eighth minute, the Knicks made a substitution, replacing Crawford to give Starkey a break. At the same time, there is also Kevin Love. And Chen Jiyuan continued to stay on the field.
