550 A different fourth quarter performance
James hit both free throws. 84:86。
Chen Jiyuan once again proved that this team, the New York Knicks, who will look at the critical moment? See Andre Iguodala? Look at Ramon Sessions? No, no, no, please don't joke, of course it's up to Lao Tzu Chen Jiyuan.
Chen Jiyuan once again made a key position in the low position on the left side, and when Chen Jiyuan's position was almost there, Sessions directly gave the ball to Chen Jiyuan's hand, the same as the previous ball, the ball thrown high, Chen Jiyuan was not ready to shoot the ball at all, after receiving the ball, a turn to the bottom corner, JJ Hickson was smart this time, and quickly shifted the center of gravity of the defense, and went directly to the direction of the bottom corner, but Chen Jiyuan kicked the ground with his right foot, slapped the ball with his right hand, and jumped to the front of the basket. O'Neill made up for it in time near the bottom line on the right, but how could Chen Jiyuan be afraid.
Facing O'Neill, facing the former big shark, and the former inner king, Chen Jiyuan didn't save face at all, and jumped dry. O'Neill also jumped at the same time.
But there is still a slight difference in the height of the two people after jumping.
Chen Jiyuan stubbornly hit O'Neal's head, dodged O'Neal's blocked arm, and directly dunked the ball into the basket with one hand. 86:86。
After landing on the ground, Chen Jiyuan roared angrily and hammered his chest.
In the fourth quarter of the game, Thibodeau also changed the general direction of defense, no longer man-marking, but into a regional joint defense, mainly for James now lost the confidence of the three-point shot and the big two-point shot on the outside, blocking the inside, Chen Jiyuan's ability to assist in defense, to completely let him show, just at this time O'Neal has not yet had the ability to shoot, the inside line will be more crowded, just to hinder James's breakthrough.
As for Daniel Gibson, he can only look at Andre Iguodala, so that Andre Iguodala has to pay attention to the players on the outside at all times while helping to defend the inside.
James breaks through with the ball, but the inside line is very crowded, and there is no room for James to execute at all, every time James is not afraid to block with Anderson Valejo or O'Neal, and directly change the defense, because whether it is O'Neal or Anderson Vallejo, they are not experts in mid-range shooting, and Anderson Vallejo can shoot in front of him, but he is not trustworthy. I believe that James will also pay more attention to rushing into the inner line, but as soon as James enters the inner line, there are two people who surround James, and then Chen Jiyuan is still waiting for James' arrival under the basket. Can't play three and then score a goal without any scruples.
James' efficiency was limited, and the Cavaliers turned off quite a bit at once.
And the Knicks' offense did not go out, Chen Jiyuan's continued low-post singles, relying on JJ Hickson to prevent Chen Jiyuan's back at all, no matter whether Chen Jiyuan turned over and jumped or transferred to the middle line to hook hands, JJ Hickson had no way to limit Chen Jiyuan's shot. As a result, under the defense of JJ Hickson, Chen Jiyuan played within 6 minutes of the fourth quarter. He scored 10 points on 5-of-6 shooting.
In an instant, JJ Hickson was submissive.
The Cavaliers also tried to come up and wrap up, but now Sessions' outside three-point shooting is really more accurate than last season, making the Cavaliers unguardable. The Knicks' outside ball moves very quickly, and everyone doesn't stick to the ball. After receiving the ball, quickly transfer the ball in a wide range without a chance, the Knight's defense can't keep up with the speed at all, there will always be loopholes, even if you keep up, such a wide range of back and forth is extremely draining.
In the first half of the fourth quarter, the Knicks relied on the restriction of James and successfully took the lead. Although Daniel Gibson can still shoot the ball, but the Cavaliers, who are at a complete disadvantage in the interior comparison, can't play the inside line at all, because of JJ Hickson's weakness, so he replaced Anderson Vallejo early, and because O'Neal was tired, the Cavaliers also replaced Zajunas Ilgoskas, but even the interior combination of Anderson Vallejo and Zajunas Ilgoskas faced Chen Jiyuan and Lefou. Zajunas Ilgoskas can shoot from the outside, and Zajunas Ilgoskas's mid-range shot is quite good.
After such two balls, Thibodeau reacted immediately, and directly replaced Sergi Ibaka, so that this block master who moved much faster than Lefu played, even if he couldn't block Zajunas Ilgoskas's shot, but this bouncing advantage, interference is still okay. And Sergi Ibaka and Chen Jiyuan are both very mobile. No matter who is on the inside, they can ensure that the three-man encirclement of James is formed as soon as possible.
James is really out of temper by the bag. The Knicks have really made a lot of money. James was confined to half a point in the game. In Thibodeau's opinion, it was a very successful defense. As for giving Daniel Gibson several good three-pointers, and Anderson Vallejo and Zajunas Ilgoskas, two opportunities to hold the ball in the high post, Thibodeau doesn't care.
Anderson Vallejo and Zajunas Ilgoskas were more likely to pass to Daniel Gibson or Mo Williams after winning the ball high post.
Successful half-quarter defense, the Knicks rewrote the score to 95-88. It's not easy to win this seven-point difference.
It wasn't until halfway through the fourth quarter that Brown discovered that James really couldn't break through the Knicks' defense. We have to think of something else. That's when the pause is due. Truth be told, this pause is really going to be quite late. I don't know how much Brown trusts James.
After the timeout, the Cavaliers made no substitutions, and neither did the Knicks. And let Andre Iguodala and Stephen Jackson go together to wrap up James, James, you are a muscle-stick, ordinary people can't stand you, okay, I'll put two of them. And both are muscle-stick players, I'll see what you do.
As long as James can be limited, then any team that faces the Cavaliers has already won more than half of it.
After all, the shortcomings of the Cavaliers are so obvious, if you can play James to death, then even if Daniel Gibson can score, it will not affect the overall situation.
The second half of the game began. Once again, players from both sides took to the field. The Knicks entered the closing stages of the game with a seven-point lead.
Although he has a slight advantage, the Knicks don't dare to relax, in case he is hit by a small climax by the Cavaliers, the advantage will be wiped out in an instant. There are many similar things happening. We haven't quite established a win yet.
The Knicks still maintain that defensive formation. James opted for passing, bursting inside and then passing to the outside player.
However, after Daniel Gibson was able to catch the ball and shoot directly, others didn't know if it was a lack of confidence or what, they always hesitated, took the ball, and then passed the ball, always making such a choice. As a result, several of the Cavaliers' attacks came with four or five seconds left in the end.
The offense wasn't smooth at all.
You can see a little difference, no matter what situation the Knicks are in, there is no lack of confidence to shoot, which is something Thibodeau has been encouraging, because Thibodeau is not a master in terms of offense, but he has also mixed with Doug Rivers. Some things are clear. And in this regard, Chen Jiyuan has always helped Xibodu build confidence for his teammates.
It is true that Chen Jiyuan's self-confidence is often bursting with his own singles. But when it comes to sharing the ball, it's never sticky to death.
Although Chen Jiyuan doesn't understand the triangle offense, he is still convinced of Phil Jackson's theory, especially that sentence, which is said to Jordan and Kobe.
I know that you have a better chance of scoring than others, so you don't want to share the ball, but you don't have nine points for 10 points, and then when you get caught or need your teammates to step up, their hands are cold. Why do you let them respond to your expectations? You should have 5 points on the ball and then make your teammates not so cold, so that even if there is any situation, your teammates can step up and help you win the game.
It is precisely because I believe Phil Jackson's words that I will share a lot of balls in the attack. At that time, Starkey was arguably the first beneficiary of this, and Sessions at that time had not grown to the point where he is on the offensive end. Starkey, on the other hand, has shown great scoring ability.
The Cavaliers hit three high jumpers with Zajunas Ilgoskas. The point gap with the Knicks has not been widened.
With just over 3 minutes left in the game, the score was 100:94.
At this time, the big-mouthed Buckley began to babble non-stop. Anyway, it's all kinds of black james. Barkley's mouth doesn't have anyone he doesn't dare to hack, only whether he wants to or not.
Compared with Chen Jiyuan, Barkley obviously hates James more, do you mean that Barkley is grandstanding, or that he is anything else, anyway, he dares to say it, and then others dare to like him. You really can't make it.
"Look at you, look at LeBron, look at Chen, both of them are leaders in the end. In the most crucial quarter of the game, I gave all my strength to score. That's amazing. ”
This is too obvious that the black is too obvious, in the entire fourth quarter of the game, James didn't score a point, and now it is unknown whether the score in the fourth quarter is still zero, and the full-game score has stopped at 31 points for a long time.
